Inaccurate Measurement
Will Cause Poor Baking

why is my cake good one week and
unsatisfactory next time, although /
follow the same recipe" is a question
asked very often of home economics
specialists. No answer can be given
offhand, because many different fac.
tors are involved-the kind of mate
rails used, the method of mixing. the
temperature of the oven, and other
considerations. But the chances are
that among these factors the matter
Of accurate measurement is included !:
following the recipe" may mean that
the closely packed cupful Of -four one
day Is loosely filed cupful the next
that the baking powder spilled in
the mixing bowl is guessed" to be a
teaspoonful, when it is really much
more-or that some other inaccuracy
in measurement accounts for a large
part Of the difference in results.
In modern cook books and in all
farmers bulletins issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture all
quantities are given in level measure
mentS unless otherwise specified
Three teaspoonfuls equal tablespoon
full. Sixteen tablespoonful fill a
standard cup-the kind marked off on
the sides to show half and quarter
cupfuls, and sometimes thirds. Four
cupfuls make a quart.
Flour, except graham or whole
wheat, should always be sifted once
before measuring and then dipped
lightly into the measure and leveled.
If 1t is packed into the measure, too
much will be used. A table knife or
other straight edge should be used to
level sugar, salt, flour and other dry
ingredients.

certain old (and artistic) favorites
hold their own, the humble corduroy
and the gorgeous mandarin coat

Interest centers in beautiful, but in
expensive, fabrics and novel garni-
lures, in the new negligees for winter.
Manufacturers of cotton fabrics have
made such progress in tbG use of
rayon mixtures and mercerizing that
they are turning out brocades and
stripes and other patterns with the

and these are supplemented by the
heavier goods in many patterns, like

place. The mantelpiece was relieved
of all ornament except the clock and
a pair of candlesticks, containing blue
candles. The open fireplace was paint
ed black, also the andirons. The
house is lighted by acetylene gas. The
valances and side Grapes at the win
dows are old rose with brown and tan
figures. The cushions are blue and old
rose. The seats of the two chairs were
recovered with blue art denim. All of
these improvements were accom-
plished at total cost of $25.33.
BY taking out superfluous ornaments
or furnishings one frequently achieves
the impression of space and airiness.
Such an impression is evident in this
room. 1t is worth while for any house
keeper to go over the various rooms
of her home to see what could be elm
mated to advantage, both in the care
of the room and in its appearance.

Flare of Every Type
in New Winter Coats

Every type of flare is used in the
coat models for winter. There are
deep gOdets and set-inS and set-ons :;
panels and cores and inverted plaits !;
and many interpretations of the circu-
lar flOunce. And for her who would
achieve distinction by using the very
different there is the coat that begins
its flare at the shoulder. Needless to
say, only the favored few can wear a
silhoutte of this sort
AS sort of stepping stone there is
the coat that superimpOses a flare over
a straight-line coat, the under part
banded with fur or embroidery. It. is
sort of undecided type, showing the
equal popularity Of the more familiar
straight model with the newer flared
affair.
AS part of the costume suit and as
a separate garment, the tailored coat
is much in evidence. 1t is not scOrn-
full of the new lines, by any means
but in accepting them it loses not bit
of it's meticulous tailoring or it's feel
ing of simplicity. There are several
versions of it, all of them authentic,
so far as the prescribed mode is con-
cerned.
Its fabrics are the mems wear mate
rials-the cheviots, tweeds home
spuns, oxfords and novelty worsteds in
patterns that closely simulate the
masculine mode. And the coats are
three-quarters length or Seven-eighths,
although there are very short jackets
with some of the suits and, as a mat

coats.

Here is an example Of what can be
done at reasonable cost to improve a
living room in a farmhouse. Mrs.
Harry Miller of Free Union, Va, en-
tered the Albemarle county living-room
contest conducted under the direction
Of the extension division of the Vir-
gtnia Polytechnic institute and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
The room she decided to improve
was originally bedroom, small and
rather dark, since both windows
opened on porches. The partition be-
tween the room and the hall was
taken out. This work was done by
the woman herself. The walls and
ceiling were painted light cream, the
woodwork and doors old ivory The
floor was cleaned and oiled. A seat
was built in the corner by the fire.

GUS colors, or in softer shades and

of negligees to new efforts. Borders

occasions. Silk sheds the dust easily,
and so keeps clean long while. 1t
also has the advantage that it does not
muss easily, and, if soft material is
chosen, such wrinkles can be shaken
out, or else pressed very easily with a
rather cool iron. 1t is disastrous to
use very hot iron on silk. Silk
crepes are very beautiful, and can also
be washed. All silks take dyes WELL
so if good quality is purchased, the
color will prove fast.

favor.
