slightly to color. Reduce the heat
a little and continue the baking for
one hour.
Sometimes a pan placed on the bot
tom OF the oven, or pan of water
placed on the graW, will prevent n
cake browning too much.
Test the cake in the center with a
clean straw. If the straw comes
out with none of the batter sticking
to it turn off the gas or leave oven
door open for five minutes. Re-
move cake, loosen it from pan, and
invert the pan. In a few moments
the cake should come out easily with
out breaking.
Cover with the following frosting,
having the frosting thick and show
ing deep grooves made by the spoon
as the cake is slowly turned. In the
center place one large rose. Or the
cake may be baked in a pan having
a hole in the center. In the hole
place a small glass holding several
roses.

Boil three cups cugar and a cup of
water, with few grains of salt, to-

sirup spins a long thread when
dropped from the top Of a spoon.
Remove from the fire and cool for

suggested. Spread frosting on the

The Benets are leaving tomor-
