It is almost as important to have a thorough understanding of cook ing terms as it is to use good re- cipes. Too often the success or failure in cokinog and baking can be traced to the method of prep aration, and if the cook fails to discriminate between beating and stirring and folding and mixing she may expect indifferent results. Cooking terms have very definite and distinct meanings which must be followed If success is assured.
 To stir is to mix ingredients. We stir for the purpose of blending ingredients and circular motion is used.
 TO beat is to turn the ingredients over and over for the purpose of introducing a large amount of air into the mixture. A rotary motion is used, constantly turning the material over, bringing what is at the battom to the top. Beat with a long swing.
 Makes Cakes Lighter.
 To cut and fold is to cut one ingredient or mixture into an- other with a spatula or spoon held in an upright position. Repeated downward motions are made, the spoon touching the bottom of the bowl with each stroke. When the material is brought to the top, it is folded over the remaining mix ture. This process Is continued until materials are blended. Cut ting and folding prevents the es- cape of air previously beaten into the material. Angel cake, sponge cakes and souffles all depend on this process for their lightness.
 To whip is to beat rapidly ma terials that expand and undergo physical change by the inclusion of air.
 To parboil is to boil until the material is partially done. One third to one-half the full time of cooking is usually implied.
 To boil is to cook in actively boiling or bubbling water. There is no advantage in hard boiling except where material is to be kept apart by the rapidly moving water.
 To simmer is to cook slowly just below the boiling point. The boiling point of water Is 212 de- grees F. and the simmering point 1855 degrees F., so any temperature between these two permits sim mering. At the actual simmer ing point tiny bubbles rise contin- ually to the surface and break. causing a little steam. This is a slow process.
 To scar is to harden the surface of meat or other material to pre- vent the escape of juices. This is accomplished by the quick appli- cation of intense heat, as in roast ing, broiling or pan-frying, until the whole surface Is thoroughly cooked and Drowned.
 To lard is to thread lean meat with narrow strips of fat. A lard- ing needle is necessary to draw the fat thruogh the meat. but the term is often used to mean the ad- dition of fat by means of gasiies cut in the meat. The strips of fat are caMed lardoOns.
 To devil la to add highly sea- soned materials tsea connection to make it "hot" in taste.

Many must have read the article on the experiment of Greenville, S C., which used some of its emer- gency relief money to send unem- ployed families back to the farm.
 They rented a large tract of un- used arrable land and allotted a certain acreage to each family. In six months it had proved a success and everybody was happy.
 Undernourished children began to build up health and strength. One boy who weighed 60 pounds in six months weighed 90. Who would deny 1t was money well spent?
 There is . vital germ of a great idea in this back-to-the-land movement that looks to me like a life saver, especially for the chill dren. Any such plan must have a small beginning and work toward a more elaborate end.
 States, of course, wish to take care of their own people within their own boundaries If possible, but there is something to be said in favor of making an exception In this case. There Is a great deal of empty fertile land below the severe-weather belt, where cer- tain foods grow the year round, and houses can be put up more cheaply than in the north.
 As for the enormous fields go- ing to waste in northern states. 1t seems to me peculiarly sad that they cannot be made to sup port thousands of starving people who would be grateful for a chance to plant their own potatoes and vegetables and keep a COW and chickens.
 There are many old farm houses empty now that could be fixed up and made livable. others could be built on, say, twenty-acre divi- sions, at comparatively small cost resulting from quantity buying. And the money so spent would be permanent.
 It is the children I am thinking of. City life the way it is now for them has become almost the gray est problem of the goth century. Country! Children need the coun- try.
 The old question of taking them beyond medical aid need not be any detriment now in this day of telephones, cars and good roads. The school would follow naturally in time.

There is no denying the charm of bright eyes yelled with . deep fringe of curling lashes.
 Only about one woman sn Q thousand has perfect lashes, a real gift of the gods.
 But anyone can help cut her lashes, if she has mind to. Not obviously, for nothing is worse than eyes that drip mascara or show other makeup in distressing amount.
 The best way to really help your lashes is first of all to take care of them and second to slrillfnlly apply q bit of makeup.
 Caring for them consists of just two things, but both must be done each day. The first is to apply oil. The best oil is castor oil. Be careful not to get any of it in your eyes. Dip your second finger on your ringt hand into the oil and apply it gently to the edges of both upper and lower lids. Do not wipe 1t off. Leave 1t on over night The second precaution is to brush out your eyelashes after you have dusted on your powder. You can give the upper lashes a little flick as you dust them. It tends to curl them back bit, which never hurts anyone's looks.
 As to makeup, there is . new liquid mascara which Is put on with a little stick that comes in the bottle. Do it carefully and don't overdo it. Usually 1t is more successful if you concentrate most of your effort on the upper lashes. They are longer, more luxurious and take to makeup better and less obviously than the lowers.
 Some women with fair coloring and enviable large eyes use . faint line of makeup pencil just under the lashes on the lower lids, in preference to mascara. This makes some women look haggard, but for others 1t gives a big, wondering look that is appealing. You can only tell which category you be- long in by trying!

She did not need to look at the figure behind her. Once before she had stood at the gate of the world s garden with Alan. Now she had lost the key, but the garden was still there.
 Her little face was solemn. This room held everything that she wanted in the world. It seemed to her that, gazing on 1t for the first time, she was also taking an eternal farewell.
 Steyne looked round, took a few steps, and was by her side. Judy"

 He turned so that he faced her. "Im always hoping against hope that you'll see reason, and let me tell her the truth.'
 ''Never - never never!" she stamped her foot. And I'll tell you another thing-I can't afford to let anything get on my nerves now. I've got to think of nothing but October. can't lead old Guarvenius down after what he's done for me-"
 "Or MT Gideon" exclaimed Steyne bitterly.
 "Or Mir Gideon" she repeated. ! She looked about her a little wild i ly. But where are the others? What is keeping them? They ought to have been here long ago." The silence in the big room was oppressive. Suddenly Judy caught hold of Steyne's arm and shook it as if in violent anger.
 "Oh, do be decent!" she said. Don't make 1t so hard-so terri bly hard!"
 Her voice broke in a helpless sob. The young man looked down into her upturned face. His eyes had neither laughter nor passion in them. They were like a burned out fire. Without word he turned and walked out of the room. l At the same moment Judy's

 "He would be strange" Rutl told herself. I'm still a Cinder' ella to the rest of them. I sup pose that the real Cinderella nevei was a princess to the boys tha liked her sisters. Oh, well :. More cutting. The music , stopped. An icy voice brought hel back.
 Ruth. will you please come out side with me-"
 It was Sally and her eyes were as cold as glaciers. Weekly, be- cause she had been meek for sc many years, Ruth followed hel sister down the hall to the dress. ing room. Fortunately it wal empty: s., .o.. .n. h., cheeks were scarlet. will you please tell me why you pulled this this disgraceful stunt?"
 "Disgraceful?" Ruth gasped She saw, her reflection in the mir TOT, gypsy-dark now, and 1t gave her courage.
 Yes. disgraceful. You stole my dress! You did! I got 1t to-day and hadn't had it on yet! And my slippers! Now what will do?
 Ruth had heard the door open- ing quietly. Sally was too excited to listen.
 She turned, though, as softer, rather laughing voice, interrupt ed. 1T just wanted to tell you how gorgeously stunning you look, Ruth Bradley" the voice said, and turning, the girls saw Sue Thornton, slim and straight, and lovely in an ivory satin sheath that was close and molding "Aren't you proud of being the sister of such a charming person, Miss Bradley?" she appealed to Sally. "The rest of us kind of fade out of the picture beside her golden shiningness."
 Ut happens to be my dress!' Sally shot the words out.
 Sue was trying to signal with her eyes to Ruth to fight. If she would wage war now she wouldn't have to fight so hard the next time. Or the next. Her lips said one word silently: "Fight! :,
 Suddenly Ruth's half-fearful look vanished. She threw her head higher.
 "This dress-the slippers, too were bought with my last salary check. The family said you needed them in order to make a catch. And I didn't matter. But I'm good enough to earn the money for your clothes. They are really mine. And so I'm just taking them!"
 "But I have to have a new out fit for tomorrow night!" sally ragged.
 "Then earn it!" Ruth shot back
 "You'll have to give me money for another one!"
 q haven't any money to give you. This took all had" She looked down at the glitterins dress.
 "But you can't explain to Di Raynor that way" the other girl voice went on. "He came to see me. And you appropriated him He has asked me to ditch the man who brought me and go home with himw
 "He asked me to come to the dance," Ruth said simply.
 Because Ee wanted to see me! You were just tool!"
 Sue stood, wanting to leave, wanting to stay. She and Corrinne had championed each other, never fought like this. It wasn't fair for one sister to hurt another so cruelty.
 An idea danced into her head.
 "we're leaving now to go to 9 waffle place e few of us, mean" she told Ruth. -"Because of Nancy our evening in short And we have an extra man. We want you to come with us, Ruth. !"

 The next moment Judy switched on the lights, ran across the room, and landed with a lithesome bound on Tony's knees. There was a burst of laughter-relief after the strain. Everybody cried out some thing at once.
 Wonderful! Judy, you've got them all beaten-every one of them!"
 Judy, we'll be proud of you when you appear in public!" Judy darling, I've never had such treat in my life!"--this from Chummy.
 Steyne didn't know what to say He listened as his friend Hylton expressed himself little awk- wardly, but with unbounded ad- miration. Then, to test his own voice, he called out:
 "Dumont, I had no idea you could play like that!"
 "Neither had any of us," put fin Chummy. Its Judy who makes him do it!"
 Dumont struck up a modern waltz, and they all started danc- ing-Hylton with Chummy, Tony Leigh and Michael Stone together. Alan found himself beside Judy, by one of the windows.

WELSH TRACT BAPTIST
CHURCH

A three-day session of the
Delaware Association of Old
School Baptists was held last
week at the Welsh Tract Meet
ing House, at the foot of Iron
Hill, near Newark, Del.
Old Welsh Tract Church is
an historic spot. The founders
of the original Welsh Tract
colony split from the Philadel-
phia colony and migrated to
the Iron Hill vicinity, where
they were granted thirty thous-
and acres by William Penn,
surrounding the present site of
the meeting house. The first
house was of logs and was used
until 1746, when they built the
present meeting house. It is a
point of interest to note that
there has been continuous wor-
ship since 1903.
