SECRET OF SUCCESS
IN OLD ART OF
PASTRY MAKING

Pastry making is an art. A be-
ginner may get valuable aid from
watching an expert at work and jot-
ting down hints; but, TO be alone
with the dough and ones own judg-
ment, is the only way TO acquire the
art. Plain pastry alone should be
made until it is beyond reproach. be-
fore the fancy kind should be at
tempted.
Fats for pastry use include butter,
oleOmargarine, lard, suet and chick
en- fat, clarified drippings. cocoanut,
and so-called vegetabl fats and oils.
Butter is best for making the puff
paste. Butter and lard, or chicken
fat with suet, work we'll for meat
pie crust, and the oil crusts for
lemon, cream, jelly or daintier open
faced pies. The other fats are best
for ordinary pie crust.
Water for pastry use must always
be iced. Utensils should be clean
and cool. Filling ought TO be pre-
pared before the paste making be-
gins, If possible. Fine-textured,
damp flour makes the daintiest
crust. Dry bread -four is all right
for use for the stronger crusts. Deft
and light handling is the secret of
success. Bake pies on a slowly rising
oven, opening or closing the door
gently. When baking pastry, devote

the oven exclusively TO that purpose.
Put a pan Of water in the electric
or gas oven. while the pastry IS
baking; this keeps the paste from
drying out and burning. before Il is
properly cooked. A p.ncn OF baking
powder or a beaten egg is often add
ed 10 the crust. as noted in the
recipes. Favored crusts are a point
in advanced cookery, to be consid-
cred at the cooks discretion. Left

APPETIZING FOOD
FROM "LEFT-0VERS"

Because. in spite of the desire to
live up to the gospel of the clean
plate" idea, which patriotic famil-
les are everywhere following out
these days, various modest portions
of food find their way to the refrig-
orator, the thrifty housewife will be
glad TO try some of these sugges-
tons, offered by the United States
food administration, which will help
her TO introduce them, a second
time, disguised out of all recOgni-
ton of their former appearance.
Potato Pyramids-To one cup of
well-seasoned mashed potatoes, add
one egg yolk. Beat until light.
Take up by tablespoonfuls and form
into pyramid shapes by pointing one
end. and broadening the other as
base TO stand on. Set them on a
creased tin, brush over with beaten
egg. and. when ready to serve,
brown lightly in the oven. Mashed
potatoes are more easily handled, if
shaped directly after a meal is over,
while still slightly warm.
Scalloped Tomatoes-To every
up of stewed tomatoes, add one
half teaspoonful of scraped onion
and more seasoning, if necessary.
Season some dried and rolled bread
crumbs, and mix part of them with
melted butter or butter substitute. in
the proportion of two tablespoon
fuls TO One-half cup of crumbs.
Grease small ramekins or a large
dish, sprinkle a layer of crumbs over
the top. Dot over with more fat, if
desired. Bake in hot oven about %
minutes. browning crumbs well on
top.
Trife-Cut stale cake into slices
and spread preserves between them.
Lay in a deep dish and heap full of
whipped cream.
Minced Beef With Potato Border
To two cups of well-seasoned
mashed potato add the yolks Of two
eggs. Beat together until very light
and creamy. Form this mixture in
to a border on a round, fiat baking
dish. Score the top. Season two

cups of any kind Of cold chopped
beef with one-half teaspoonful of
onion juice. obtained by pressing the
cut surface of an onion against a
crater and moving it slightly; one
teaspoon of nicely chopped parsley,
salt and pepper. Add enough stock
to moisten it well. Place the meat
inside Of the potato border and
brown lightly in a hot oven.
Corn Pudding (frOm uncoOked
CORN on the cob loses flavor
sooner than any vegetable. Do not
try to serve it in that way, unless
perfectly fresh. If any uncooked
ears are left over, crate them. Six
goOd-sized ears will give one and
one-half cups of corn pulp. Add to
this one egg beaten very lightly.
one-fourth teaspoon of salt, one
teaspoonful of sugar, one teaspoon
Of fat, and one-fourth cup of milk.
Grease in a quart baking dish, pour
in the mixture, and bake until firm
in the center-about % minutes.
Serve at once, as a vegetable.
Rice With Bananas-Peel and

When trimming a hat the great
problem is how TO fasten the orna-
ments in place. Fine thread and
needles do not seem to be adequate
for the purpose. and. in fact. they
are not. The best thread 20 use is
black shoe thread and the best
needle is a so-called glove needle"
one with a three-sided point that
may be run easily through almost
any substance. With these two all
lies at hand 10 is not so very difii
cult 10 sew whatever is required.
but it is worth while 10 mention the
different sorts OF trimming and how
to sew each TO the hat. says "A
writer who would encourage home
millinery. Velvet bows should al
ways be made with shoe thread. and
il should be wrapped around the
loops Of the bow so il will be quite
firm. IL should then be sewn TO the
hat with the same thread and the
needle Just described. Quilts and
feathers may be attached 20 the hat
in the same way. but when the tins
OF ostrich plumes must be caught
and held at a required angle IL D.
better TO use a fine black thread
and a No. 10 needle. The stitches
are then practically invisible and
the result win be very satisfactory.
