Baking Tasty Cakes
By The Merry Cook

In cake-making the objectives
sought are smooth, velvety tex
ture, lightness, rich color and,
of course, flavor.
Although mentioned last the
taste of the cake is of primary
MISUNDERSTANDING with the
quality of the finished product.
This article is designed to aid
home makers to avoid some of
the more common pitfalls in
baking Of cakes and to help in
correcting some of the more
common errors.
Mixing
For example, there is the
creaming of the fat and sugar.
A coarse-grained sugar will
make a coarse-grained cake, so
it is best to use fine sugar or
to sift it. The creaming of
these two ingredients, the short
ening and the sweetening, is a
most important step. If they
are not well blended the cake
may be heavy and coarse
grained. The mixture should be
so perfect that the sugar
crystals are not visible.
Proportions of ingredients
must be right. For instance, too
much sugar will give a hard,
shiny crust, somewhat sticky,
and too much fat or too little
flour will make a cake fall.
Then again, we have trouble
sometimes with cakes that get
lumpy in the middle, or even
with those that develop big
cracks. This unsightly condi-
tion is caused by too much flour
or by too much heat.
Beating
Cake batter should not be
beaten vigorously after the flour
or the sifted and mixed dry in
gradients are added, since this
beating develops the gluten in
the flour and makes for a bread
like consistency, or what is
sometimes spoken of as chevy"
cake. Cake should be so deli.
cate that it almost seems to
melt in ones mouth. Egg whites
that are to be added at the last
should be beaten until they are
stiff but not dry, because while
we want the air that we beat

Fashion Flashes

Go back to another era and
you'll find that many of the
new fashions have their incep-
ton in styles of another day.
For instance, one of the most
important fashions in evening
wraps will be the little pastel
colored jackets of broadcloth,
with leg-o'mutton sleeves and
large buttons.
Still they come-those lovely
white evening ensembles-de-
spite the insistence on color. A
ravishing model is in heavy
white crepe, high and soft in
the front neckline, deep in back,
casually tied at medium waist
line with a narrow self girdle.
The wrap is a cape of long,
white uncurled ostrich, mounted
on chiffon.

NeW Sleeves Made

Whether or no it's. the Mae

undoubtedly become luxurious
this fall. Fine feathers make

don't care for feathers, we sub

ner. We can be pretty as we'll
as smart, and we must wear
clothes that look expensive,
even if they're simple.
A Dressed-up Air
This look of richness is really
more of an effect than an ac-
tuality.
Dresses trim their tops, but
skirts are still long and slim.
Fabrics are beautiful, soft,
silken, but they are cut so
that they present simple ap-
pearance, though it may be in
tricately done.
Beading, brilliants, lots of
rhinestones, fur, even silver and
gold coins make a dress look
very fine. but when you anlyze
it, the trimming is not done
in profusion, and usually one
kind is enough on a dress.
Apricot Frappe
Evening gowns particularly are
rich in appearance, and ex-
tremely plain in line.
We've photographed one to-
day that illustrates the point
beautifully. It's a luscious soft
velvet, in apricot color.
The silhouette is slim and
straight, but the top of the
dress takes on rhinestones for
ornament. They're used in the
newest way, to make strap
sleeves that give you the sug-
gestion of covering the top of
the arms, but they really do
nothing of the kind.
A Jewelled Look
Rhinestone straps make a
meager covering for the loW-cut
back, and more rhinestones
make the belt buckle.
This jeWelled, glittering look
is in extreme contrast to the
rather dull velvet, and is more
attractive for that reason.
Notice, too, the high cowl
neckline that comes right up un-
der the chin. Necklines prom
Use to be even higher than ever
in front this year.
This gown, with it's soft color
and jeWelled top, will do justice
to any formal occasion this Win
ter. It is in misses sizes and
moderately priced.

into them we do not want to
sacrifice moisture in our cake.
Baking Temperatures
A perfectly mixed cake may
be ruined in the baking. Mod
ern oven equipment and tested
recipes in which baking tenn
perature is given have enabled
even the inexperienced cake
baker to obtain excellent re-
suits. Practically all authori-
ties agree that a temperature
of $50 to 375 deg. F. is best
for layer cakes. 325 deg. F. for
loaf cakes, while angel food
and sunshine cakes, which
contain such large quantities of
eggs, are most satisfactorily
baked at a temperature of 275
deg. F. for the first half of the
baking period and 300 deg. F.
for the last half.
With the above suggestions
in mind, when trying out this
recipe for cocoa cake, you will
have a cake that is velvety in
texture, rich in color. and one
that will retain moisture and
keep it's freshness for a re-
markably long time.
Chocolate favored cakes are
always popular, especially with
men. Following is recipe for
a chocolate cake made with
cocoa and without soda. 1t has
found high favor with those
who have tried it.

The Crest
Never to let this moment go,
Only to catch it and hold 1t so!
Bitter are they who look always
: back,
Torn by their sense Of the pres
ent's lack,
Racked by one endless and fu-
tile pain:
Joy that can never return again.
Barren are they who must look
ahead,
Dreaming fair dreams like a
maid unWed;
No bright coin in their hands
to hold,
Only the hope of tomorrow's
gold.
Neither bitter nor barren am I,
Riding the crest OF the wave,
tossed high;
Proud in the finding OF utter
bliss,
Winning with rapture life's
smile, life's kiss!
Never to let this moment go:
Only to clutch it and keep it so!

Will Absence on a Trip Abroad

Will Absence on Trip Abroad
Make the Heart Grow Fonder?
A young man who tells me
he thought he was engaged
writes to ask if l believe "ab-
Sence makes the heart grow
fonder-of someone else"
He hoped to be married in
a couple of months, and now
his girl wants to defer the cere-
n1ony until later, because she
has had an opportunity of
spending few weeks in
Europe.
The relative who is taking
her is a buyer" which indi.
Gates the trip cannot be pro-
longed, but the young man
with a lovers impatience doesn't
understand the girls wanting
to go. He writes, with a little
edge of bitterness, the old, old
question about absence and
wonders, gloomily, if the fond
ness" might not be directed
toward someone else she is
likely to meet on her travels.
Part of his letter reads:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Just one more unfortunate
coming to you for a word. Sue
and I expected to be married
in couple of months. I'd
even asked my best friend to
stand up with me, and I had
done considerable shopping as
to flats.
MY girls aunt-she's a terror
for you-is designer in ladies
ready-to-Wear house, and the firm
sends her abroad two or three
times a year. Never before did
she think of inviting my girl to
60 along. But as she knows
we're engaged, and thinks her
niece should marry the Prince
OF Wales, or some such a catch,
she's taken this method Of de-
laying things. Do you think
absence makes the heart grow
fonder of the other fellow
that someone she's likely to
meet on her travels will cut me
out?
Sue tells me she will think
only the more Of me, but be-
lieves she shouldn't pass up this
one chance of seeing the other
side. What's your reaction.
ROBERT W."
Speed her along with all the
steamer presents you can af-
ford, my dear Robert. If you
didn't, she'd always hold it
against you in the days to come.
For, in the best of marriages,
there is likely to be a touch of
"Dallyness," and your wife-to-
ne would always think, at such
times, If Id only gone to
Paris!"
Now Paris, especially if you
don't know people, can be as
dreary as Squash Center. Un-
less your girl speaks French, she
will be an outsider looking in.

orous clothes hunts, as I've
heard from designers that the
policy is strictly CLOSED door"
if you haven't the necessary
credentials, and if you do not
buy.
Picture galleries, churches and
museums will not make up for
your love making, you can wager.
And if the aunt takes her to the

restaurants, in search of ideas,
probably nothing more exciting
will happen than that your girl
will be ogled by gentlemen sport

cannot.
The more sensitive the skin,
the milder the treatment should
be.
Too strong astringents and
stimulants are another cause
for broken veins. That is the
reason that. it is better to go
to beauty shop and have a
facial every now and then,
than to attempt to take entire
care of ones complexion.
Even the most sensitive skins
need stimulation, but it should
be gagged by the skin itself. If
ones purse cannot include trips
to the beauty parlor, it can at
least allow you a free consulta-
ton which most shops are will
ling to give. And once one
really knows what she should
use the rest is easy.
Broken Veins
If ones veins are really
broken, it may be necessary to
resort to electrolysis to remove
them. That is, if the condition
Is quite pronounced.
Otherwise, it is recommended
that one care for her skin very
gently, avoiding brisk patting,
strong stimulants and bleaches.
There is a certain cream that is
particularly soothing and refin-
Ing for such skins.
It is usually helpful to watch
ones diet, reducing the amount
of meat and avoiding hot
drinks, stimulating and sp1ced
