The Secret of a
 Light Souffle There Are Four Tricks to Making, Says Food
 Authority
 uunuv, vyu> u~ rnNyr%
HOW IT IS DONE

Il There's something about a souf- fe which seems to oycrawe some otherwise skilled cooks. It is true that it is cften served in "swagger' surroundings. but. once you get to l know l. intimately, it's as simple as cottage pudding. There are four tricks to a souffie, and Sarah Field Splint tells about all--and about many exciting exampIes--in McCalPs for March:
 Making souffie is really more of trick than matter of skill. Tho most experienced cook can fail with a souffie, while the greenest novice has been known to succeed. The l plot by which perfect souffe can be captured every time is as fol- 1 lows:
 l Mixing Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored before you combine them with the other ingre- i dients. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry; fold them into the mix ture. To fold, cut down through the l mixture 10 the bottom of the dish. Each time turn the spoon over in l order 10 mix. Repeat this process until tho ingredients are thorough l ly blended. The fluffy consistency of the socffie depends on this cut ting g-and folding which prevents the | breaking down of the air bubbles in the egg whites.
 "Baking-Long, slow cooking IS | one of tho secrets of making q per- feet souftie. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 50 min , utes (By using a shallow dish, about 40 minutes will be sufficiently If you do not own an oven thermometers, or an oven regulator, set the souffie in a pan of hot water, to keep a un- form temperature.
 "Testins-Test by inserting a sharp knife in the center. When the souffie is done, the knife will come out clean. Test quickly so as not to chill the oven.
 "Serving-Serve immediately. If 1t is allowed to stand, even for short time, the souffie will fall.
 Fruit CT custard souffies are delicate nnd fashionable dessert, while those made with cheese, chop ped meat. flaked fish or vegetable pulp are ideal as main dish for luncheon or for light dinner. A sauce. or cream, is sometimes served with a sweet souffie, but the real epicure prefers his plain.
 Lemon Soufflc.
 Four egg yoIks, l cup sugar. grated rind and juice. l lemon
 egg whites.
 Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon -co!ored. Add sugar slowly, beat thoroughly, and add lemon ju'ce and rind. Fold in stiffy-beaten egg whites. Turn into Ereased pudding dish. set Tn q pan of hot water. and bake in moderate oven (350 de- grees Fj about 50 minutes.

CHEAP CUTS OF MEAT IMPROVED
 BY USING SUGAR
Sugar Blends Deliciously with Meat Juices and
 Seasonings

One of the most inexpensive meat stews tc make is the famous Mexican dish--Chili Con Carne. The recipe, which is very simple, follows:
 Slice fine, two onions and cook slowly in four tablespoons of fat in a covered kettle until soft-mot broWn. Then add one and one- half pounds round steak or cheaper beef cut in small cubes and cook until the meat starts to fry. Stir in one to three tablespoons Chilli powder, mixed in little water, one teaspoon salt and two teaspoons sugar. Next add one quart hot water and one-half cup tomato puree or juice. Simmer until meat is very tender and the stew is of a thick consistency. Serve with pota- toes, rice, corn or hominy and . salad. This meal topped with a sweet dessert is most satisfying and prop erly balanced.
 Sugar can be similarly used when you stew, praise or pot-roast cheap cuts of beef or lamb; and dash of sugar to a pinch of salt noticeably improves the flavor of vegetables. Most foods are more delicious with sugar. The Sugar Institute.

Frequently a child's indifference toward food can be traced to the un- attractiveness of that food. Chil- dren. like grownups. will enjoy their food more if their menus consist of exciting little surprises that make of meal time an adventure instead of a duty.
