Do Owls HOot in Daytime?

Because they don't fiy about
then as they do at twilight and
in the dark. Most owls, though
not all, sleep during the day and
become active at night, so It il
natural that they should do their
hooting then.

when "patting." Use a rolling
pin that revolves on its handles.
Handle pastry as little as possi-
BILE. Next roll pastry one-fourth
inch thick with square corners,
holding the rolling pin lightly by
the handles and being careful not
to break the bubbles of air when
patting and rolling the pastry

pansion and the lighter the
pastry.)

About Making the Layers -
When rolling the pastry, be very

The tests are being conducted in

Motion pictures are used, and the
tests are being made on the study
of geography, with certain phases

| to be even. :.
Speaking of Trimmings-4After
| shapes have been cut from puff
paste, trimmings should be care
fully laid ON top OF each other
and patted with rolling pin, and
then rolled out in order that the
layers may all rise in the same di-
rection.
To Bake Pastry-An oven that
registers $50 degrees is not too
hot for puff paste. In such an
oven patties will bake in twenty
minutes, in an oven that registers
from 400 to 500 degrees, it will
take twenty-five minutes, and re-
suits are not quite so satisfactory.
Watch baking very carefully, and
turn pastry frequently, that it
may not burn. Reduce heat after
pastry has risen.
Patty Shells
Roll out puff paste one-fourth
inch thick, shape with round flut-
ed cutter which has been dipped
in -four, remove centers from one
half the rounds with a smaller
cutter, brush the whole piece with
cold water, lay on the rim, press
edges together lightly, and chill
between pans of crushed ice until
pastry is stiff; or, if the weather
is cold, chill out of doors. Bake
twenty to twenty-five minutes.
Centers may be baked and used
for patty covers. Remove amy soft
pastry from center of patty before
putting in filling.
Patty Shells II
Roll puff paste one-half inch
thick, shape with a round fiuted
cutter. Make cut half way
through in the center of the circle
with a small cutter, and chill and
bake as suggested above.
Filling for Patty Shells
Patty shells should be reheated
in the oven before being served
They may be filled with a delicate
meat or fish heated in a sauce.
White sauce, Bechamei sauce,
mushroom sauce, sauce a la King,
and many others may be used.
Chicken, sweetbreads, oysters, and
Holsters are especially popular.
Tarts
Tarts are made like patty
shells, but may be shaped with
smaller cutter. They are filled,
after baking, with jam, jelly or
marmalade.

My Coming Guest
By JEROME B. BELL

The Day is fixed when there shall come to me
A strange, mysterious guest.
The time do not know-he keeps the date
So all have to do is work and wait,
And strive my very best
To do my daily duties patiently.
often wonder if that Day will break
Brighter than other days.
If shall know or it, immersed in gloom,
l shall be Waiting for him in my room,
Or busy with life's ways,
With restless hands and weary eyes that ache.
For many years I've known that he would come
And so I've watched for him,
And sometimes said: "His time lis soon."
Let pass the morn, the and afternoon
And twilight, wierd and dim
And silent night times when the world is dumb.
But he will come and find me here or there;
It does not matter when,
Nor where, for am that he will take
Me in his care. No more my eyes will ache;
They will be placid then,
And closed, yet maybe seeing visions fair.
Yes, he whom expect has been called Death;
And when he is my guest
I'll know him truly AIS he really is;-
Will leave the worlds loud company for his,
AS that which seemeth best,
And l shall rest at last beneath his breath.
And out Well pass, my royal guest and l,
AS noiseless as he came;
For naugfit will do but must go with him,
And leave this clay, which l have kept trim,
An empty darkened frame,
In which no other mortal soul may lie.
And so sleep and wake; toll and rest,
Not knowing when he'll come;
But when he does III be prepared to go,
For he will guide safely home, know;
And this shall be the
Of all my pleading: 81 have done my best"

For The
Homemaker's Eve
Puff Paste

Puff paste can be made at
home! The idea has become gen.
eral that such things as patty
shells, or French pastries must be
bought at the pastry shop. This
really isn't true.
If directions are followed care
fully, if the work is done rapidly
i'm a cool room or by an open WIN
dow, good results should be OBJ
tanned
Good puff paste should rise to
be at least four times its original
thickness should be very light in
weight, of a pale brown color, so
tender that it breaks to pieces
when carelessly handled, and it
should have a great number of
layers.
Directions for Making
One cup butter (H b., 112
cups bread flour; IS cup very cold
or ice water.
First wash the butter.-Heat a
bowl and heat the hands with hot
water. Place bowl under cold
water faucet or fill with ice water,
put in the butter and press light
ly between the fingers to remove
salt and buttermilk. Drop it into
the water as often as it shows any
tendency to stick to the fingers.
When the butter is smooth and
waxy, double it over and over
quickly between the palms of the
hands and pat to remove super
fluous water. Reserve one table
spoonful land shape remainder
into an oval piece. Lay this be-
tween cheesecloth and between
two pans Of ice and leave until
pastry is rolled out and ready for
it. If butter substitute lis used
for puff paste the results are
never as satisfactory as when THE
best butter is used.

to place it among the contenders in

EDDIE SHEVLIN WINS
Dartmouth Boxing Instructor Takes
Eight Dat of Ten Rounds in Bout
With Paul Doyle.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 21.-Eddie
Shevlin of Boston, Dartmouth college
boxing instructor, took the measure of
Paul Doyle of New York last night
rather easily in their ten-round fea-
ture bout at the Armory A. A., Me-
Chanics building, before Il capacity
house. The Dartmouth professor took
eight of the ten rounds, proving at
all times too clever for his opponent.
Doyle made his bst showing in the
third and fourth rounds, the only two
in which he eXcelled. Shcvin's VIC
tory practically assures him of a
Madison Square Garden match with
Jack Britton.
The fight was decidedly fast from
start to finish with ShevIin ever the
agSressor and carrying the battle to
Doyle SO fast that the latter had about
all he could do to avoid a knockout.
