usually Of the wealthier class. and
come here for the winter. They
spend a longer time here. and con-
~seuucntly desire information On

The winter tourists, in other wo<d.s,
are not SO transient"

so, buffet serving is the means Of
melting down any formality which
might otherwise exist among the
guests. Several ourses may well
be served in this manner. II Is
easy for the hostess and pleasant
for the guests.
Cake Making
Several hints for making cake
that is light and fluffy were ex-
planned in detail. Proper utensils,
accurate measurements and care
full methods were stressed as all
important in making good cake.
Mrs. Ihrig said that the air cells
which are whipped into the various
ingredients Of a cake must be pre-
served. Whipping the cake over
not around. Is the proper method.
The discussion Of cake baking
led to some novel suggestions in
flavorings. Two Rose Geranium
leaves placed in the bottom of the
pan in which an angel food cake Is
10 be baked will add a most I'M
usual and pleasing flavor" Mrs.
Ihrig told her audience. A combina-
ton OF one-fourth teaspoon almond,
one-half teaspoon lemon and a few
drops Of rose will greatly improve
the flavor of sponge cake OF angel
