is better, although one occasionally
finds a cook that by some trick or
tricks has better sdccess with hot wa
ter.
Only enough water should be used
to give paste that will cling together
in a mass and leave the sides of the
bowl clean. When this has happened,
do not mix the pastry further. The
more fat is used the less water will be
necessary. A good pastry is soft
enough to roll Que smoothly without
breaking the edges.
If the paste is chilled before it is
rolled it will handle easier and the
pastry will be lighter and flakier when
baked.
When Touring the board and rolling
pin rub the flour into the wood-if
these tools are Of wood-as thoroughly
as possible. Sometimes a stiffly WOW
en- cloth, called a pastry cloth, is used
as cover for the board, and the
flour is rubbed into it. The mesh of
the cloth holds the flour and gives it
up evenly and slowly as needed by
the dough.
To keep a juicy filling safely within
the pie, moisten the lower crust with
water and press the edges of the up
per and lower crusts well together.
Bind a strip Of muslin dipped in a
little water around the edge of the
crust, tapping the ends of the muslin
well. A few sticks of macaroni placed
in the upper crusts will let the juices
bubble up and down without overflow
ing.
Baking may spoil an otherwise per-
feet crust. The oven must be very hot,
so that the fat will be cooked into the
flour without becoming oily. A slow
oven will make the pastry hard and
tough instead of flaky. The oven
should be from $50 to 500 degrees
Fahrenheit to start with, and then
lowered to 400 Fahrenheit. Pastry
should bake in Is to 20 minutes.

Some Pointers
on Manners
Powdering Ones Nose in
Public.
By Mrs. Beeckman

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Is it a breach of good manners to
powder ones nose in a tea room?
(2) Is it good form for a woman
whose husband has died to drop his
given name and use only her own, both
in business and socially?
90 What is silver tea?
(4) A and b tstrangers) sat side by
side in public place. A loudly re-
marked, "please do not bump my
elbow SOL" Il asked pardon, although
she was unaware of touching \, even
though her arms were bare. Do you
not think the remark from A was un-
called for?
Yes.
(2) Socially, it Is correct for a
widow TO use the same name that
she used when her husband was
alive: Mrs. John Brown. In other
words. this is the name that she
should use on all formal occasions,
such as on her visiting cards. The
name that she uses in business is en-
tirely a question of what is convent
ent for her.
81 Do you mean a tea that is
given as a celebration for silver
wedding? For the twenty-fifth an
niversary often silver tea is given,
and the friends of the couple are in
vited.
(4) Indeed A must have been

son. There is no accounting for a
person of such impoliteness. (Thank

Making Pies Perfect
BY HANNAH WING

With Christmas approaching with
its attendant mince pies, pumpkin
pies, apple pies and others 1t is q
fitting season to sing a hymn Of
praise for that favorite dessert of our
forefathers. In fact revival of the
New England pie-for-breakfast Gus.
tom has recently been put into effect
in an upstate city in New York
With this movement on for more pies
let us make sure that they are bet
ter pies, for a well-made pie is GER
tainly not indigestible, although its
badly made brethren have given it q
reputation that is not altogether
clear.
A pie is, of course. no better than
its crust, but the finest of pastry
cannot make the lack Of filling OF
dryness of filling palatable therefore
the perfect pie must be a combination
of flaky, crisp pastry and rich. juicy
filling. If your pies are not the
stronghold of your reputation as a
cook, you can fortify this weak spot
and make your holiday menu a sue
cess by observing the following points :
Pie crust should be handled as
little as possible. Too much zeal and
over working make a tough, leathery
crust that is the base of many jokes
about the young brides cooking and
the pies that mother used to make.
The flour and salt should be sifted
together with the baking powder-if
you find that the use of it gives you
a flakier crust. The fat must be
mixed with the flour thoroughly
either by rubbing lightly with the
finger-tips or by cutting it in with
a knife or knives. And don't be con-
tent with the mixture until fat and
flour are so well combined that they
resemble a fine, soft meal in tex.
ture.
If the fat is cold. so much the bet
ter. The water must be cold-ice cold

Table Talks
Raw Food
BY Mildred Kitchen

Shall We eat entirely of raw foods?
The question is often asked and q dis
cussion of the pros and cons may in
terest readers Of this column.
Man is not herbivorous like the
horse or COW and therefore has in
testines not suited to an exclusively
bulky regimen. Nor is he carnivor-
GUS like the lion, which can thrive
on meat alone. Man is omnivorous
and so can live best on a mixed diet.
He needs the concentrated foods be-
cause they furnish great food value
per unit but it is just as important
that he accompany them by those
bulky foods which aid so materially
in the peristaltic action of the in
testinal tract. The raw food advo-
cate says. "All this is true and BY
eating of nuts, seed oils, honey and
dried fruits man may get the cen
centrated group, while fresh fruits,
whole cereals and vegetables provide
the needed bulk"
THE ARGUMENT PRESENTED.
The argument in favor of this is
that foods eaten in their natural
state lose none of the valuable min
erals, vitamins and flavors and that
the chewing necessary to eat unfired
foods will help prevent the toothless
race predicted for the future by those
who stand aghast at the American
public boiling its daily nourishment.
Besides, continues the argument,
think of the labor saved!
Every woman who prepares food
for human consumption must have
sighed YEARLY as she saw the products
of her hours OF labor in the kitchen
dispatched in twinkling, as it were
by her hungry family. She takes
heart again when she thinks that good
food, properly chosen and well pre-
pared helps most materially to keep
those for whom she is responsible in
that precious condition We call
health.
WE EAT TOO FAST.
1t is a pity that we in America do
not linger longer over food. We would
taste flavors now lost in the rapid
| transit from plate to stomach; we
would have fewer dentists bills and
we would possibly develop that lost
art of conversation at the dinner table.
But to return to our unfired foods.
We all grant the saving in labor, fuel,
time, flavors and food values, but
through long generations man has be-
come accustomed to warm food-to
food cooked because of the pleasant
flavors developed and the comfortable
stimulation the heat brings to the
| body.
If we can arrive at a happy me-
dium-cook those foods like meats and
vegetables which are thus more palat-
able and can then safely balance the
diet by those foods most likely to lose
their precious vitamines, minerals and
elusive flavors under the influence of
heat such as fruits, most vegetables
and raw milk, then it seems to me we
are safe in our omnivorous diet.
RAW BEET RELISH.
Grind peeled raw beets through the
food-chopper.
Chop or cut several stalks of celery
into fourth-inch pieces. Add piece of
bell pepper cut fine and tiny scrap
ing of onion. Season with French
dressing or .mayonnaise and serve as
salad or relish.
