must plan TO give 1t your undivided at
tention for at least five minutes.
1t is we'll to remember these facts
about white sauce:
Thin white sauce should contain one
level tablespoon of flour to one cup OF
milk. This Is usually made for creamed
vegetables.
Medium thick white sauce should con-
tain two level tablespoons OF -four to
one of milk. This Is used for scalloped
dishes and for creaming eggs, fish, etc.
Thick white sauce should contain
three tablespoons Of -four TO one cup of
milk
The amount of butter has nothing to
do with the thickness OF the sauce. but
good plan Is to use as much butter as
-four. Here is a good way to proceed
in the making of any white sauce:
Measure out the butter In the top Of
double boiler or In a little pan that
may be placed over the top OF the tea
kettle. Let 1t become soft or just barely
melted, take from the stove and add the
flour. mixing very thoroughly and max
ing thorough blend Of these ingredi-
ents before proceeding. Measure out the
milk and. placing the flour and butter
blend over the heat, add the liquid a
very little at time, stirring constantly
and allowing 1t TO be thickened as the
liquid Is being added After all the liq-
uid has been added continue to stir
until 1t has become perfectly smooth
and as thick as 1t will become. Now set
the pan directly over the heat and let
II boil up. stirring all the time. Then
place back over the boiling water. cover
and let cook for at least 10 minutes.
Chicken or veal stock may be used
instead of the milk TO make a richer
white sauce, make little thicker than
desired and then add little cream after

Creative geniuseS are of necessity

Fairy tales are supplanted in these

They pull the child through two
troublesome periods the first in which
he IS oppressed by his own futility and
