FIaEu Biscuits

My dear, I've achieved a measure
of glory too! This morning, baked
the biscuits for breakfast-what do
you think of that for courage? And
they turned out light, flaky,
beautiful-and delicious Aren't you
proud Of me? I owe all my success,
though, to Liberty Bell flour, the
standby, indeed, Of the housewife
baker. Here's my recipe which I
want you to try with this wonderful
flour: Sift 2 cups flour, one-fourth
teaspoon salt, 9 teaspoonfuls baking
powder together: cut in Q table,
spoonful of fat-don't mash it-then
add slowly enough sweet nix to make
a soft dough, roll and cut out bis
cults quickly and bake in very hot
oven until delicate brown. Use Lib
crty Bell flour once-and you'll de-
pend on it the rest Of your life for
baking success.

ENJOYABLE Concert

After dinner, we had a concert
beautiful classical numbers by cele-
brated artists, operate solos by sing
ers who grace the Metropolitan stage
and later, jazz melodies that every
one loves. The Edison, master enter
tainer, furnished this enjoyment for
the evening. Indeed, an indispen-
sable part of every home is the Edi-
son. bringing the best in music to
ones very drawing room, educating
children of the house to apprecia-
ton of real music and providing the
elders with treats they'd probably
never hear otherwise. And such ex-
quisitc tone as the Edison produces
its hard to believe the artist isn't
right there, so perfect is the re-
creation of his art. Helen's Edison
is a lovely console model. purchased
from Stapleton Music Company, at
Broadway and Travis, the music
house of quality, service and salts
faction.

Wonderful Coffee

water for the coffee this morning,
thought, Goodness gracious, who's
going to drink all that" All, but
such deliciousness as it proved to be
when breakfast was served. Then I

enough. So numerous were the re-
quests for a second cup. Indeed,
Grace makes the best coffee 1 ever
drank. The secret of this coffee sue
cess, she says, is due to using Fl and
H-which is carefully blended to
procure beverage of pleasing aroma
and smooth, mellow, delicious flavor.
Indeed. one always enjoys the second
cup of such wonderful coffee as
