Easily Made Cakes
BY The Merry Cook

You don't have to have a
birthday so you can have a
cake. Have it whenever you
like by the new quick-and-easy
way known as the muffin
method" You can almost toss
it together. Here's what you
do:
Put all your liquid ingredi-
entS Gncluding eggs) except
shortening into a mixing bowl
and beat for two minutes. Add
shortening and beat for one
minute. Bake, cool, and en-
joy them!
Not every cake in the cook
books may be made by this
method, but there are enough
to keep the whole family happy
and chock-full of cake! To
follow the muffin method"
you must use a liquod short
enlng, which must be cool to
insure tenderness. It is the
choice of the shortening, in
any case, that accounts for the
tenderness of a cake.
Choice of Cake
In choosing your cake, three
things to consider are flavor,
consistency and cost. First use
a fine granulated sugar as upon
it depends greatly a fine grained
texture of the cake. Avoid strong
favored fats, for although they
make a tender cake they are
not always desirable for they
will impart their own flavor.
Only when lots of spice or mo-
lasSeS is used this taste may be
disguised.
A neutral, bland shortening
Is best, if butter or margarine
is not used, as it neither adds
nor takes away from the spe-
cific flavoring material of the
cake (Such as almond, vanilla,
lemon, ETC., or those cakes,
favored with fruit or nuts, and
Of course, when butter flavor
is desired.
For a quick muffin, or cup
cake, a liquid shortening is Of
ten preferred, especially in cold
weather when lard fats are
hard and the time is scarce for
dreaming them until soft
enough to blend with sugar.
Again, an oil is desirable for
greasing all cake. cookie and
muffin tins, but avoid using so
much it collects in little rivers
in the pans.
Use Pastry Flour
A pastry flour is advisable
for all cakes and an all-purpoSe
flour for cookies, mullins, bis
cults, etc. The cost of the
pastry flour is only a little more
than the other. but the cake

Her Stepsister's Husband

AASA SSSESANS~A -
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am almost 81 years of age,
and, as I lost my job, my STEP
sister very kindly invited me to
share her home. It is very
lovely, even luxurious, and I
should be quite happy if it
were not for my brother-in-
law. But every time we are
left alone he persists in max
ing love to me, and even say
ing he would be glad to divorce
my step-sister and marry me.
Ihave really grown to hate him
and his contemplate, under
hand ways.
I could get a job, I believe,
If I had a little more educa-
ton. I have taught in rural
school, and find that my equip
ment is insufficient to get a
city job. A friend of mine who
understands the situation would
take me in for a little while,
but it would be unfair to bur-
den her for very long with my
support. ELOISE.
Better take the next train to
the friend who will be RESPONSE
BILE for you the next few weeks.
It would certainly be a poor
return for your stepsister's hos
pitality if you were the means
Of breaking up her home. If

Thus, more often than not,
he scrubs his head every time
he takes shower (about the
worse thing that can be done
for it,, tries anything on it
that anyone recommends, and
plaSters his hair down with
"goo."
Select Tonic
AS to the stuff that he puts
on it, he will do much better
(unleSS he has some definite
scalp ailment and needs spe-
cial treatment) to limit him
self to one of the excellent
preparations that are made to-
day to serve the double pur-
pose of stimulating the scalp
and grooming the hair.
These tonicS benefit the
scalp but also have a suffi-
cient oil content to make the
average hair lie down and be-
have.
If the hair is the occasional
unruly type that refuses to be
controlled by such methods, a
special grooming preparation
can be used after the shampoo.
Weekly Shampoo
No man should shampoo his
hair more frequently than once
a week, and then he will find
that fine CASTLE soap is one
Of the best things he can use.
A good massage with a scalp
Stimulant will make each sham
poo just twice as beneficial.
A great many of the we'll

ington as in large cities like
New York and Chicago. Only a
bit of mental suggestion is
needed to get a gentleman into
this excellent habit of scalp
treatments and make it part of
his established weekly routine.
These treatments can be
given easily at home. Men
have a much easier time than
women giving themselves scalp
massage, having no long hair
to worry about. A hot oil treat
ment would be simple.
Badness
Simply warm some castor oil
or olive oil and apply it to the
scalp with a small pad of COT
ton. Massage it well into the
scalp with the finger tips and
leave it on over night. Then
shampoo the hair in the morn
ing.
OF course, bald head is the
bane of every mans existence,
and rightly so. It puts at least
10 years age on the most youth
full face. But that is something
for which we cannot attempt to
prescribe. 1t is a problem for a
scalp specialist.
However, there are fine prod
uctS on the market, and many
types of treatments which can
be given with household RENE
dies which might help to pre-
vent badness, something which
certainly should not be taken
light.

are dreSSed-up enough to go
anywhere, any time. They come
in lovely lanes, in crepes
woven with metal threads, and
even in metal laces. Or if you
wear sports things a lot, there
are smart Woolly ones in plain
or plaid designs, or the ever
popular velveteenS.
Some of them are long, like
the tunic blouses we told you
about a while ago, and some of
them are just hip-length. They

of ti1nes-and they're a grand
pick-me-up for a rundown
wardrobe!

it in luxurious lanes and velvets,
with ankle-length skirts.
Then, there was that famous
football sweater that DilkuSha
made up in shirred velvet to
wear over your neat formal eve
ming frock. And the original
sports beret-now glorified in
silver lame and sequins: There's
a polo shirt, too-believe it or
not-that's made of metal cloth
with a wide gold belt around
it's waist!
And one of the smartest styl-
lists we know confided to us
that very attractive felt and fur
hat was originally copied from
a bridesmaids hat of tulle with
a lame halo!
Recovery Note
You can't convince us that
there isn't something to this
Rooseveltian recovery, after all!
Yesterday we walked into one
of the Fifth Avenue shops and
found our way blocked by such
a huge crowd that we could
hardly fight our way to the ele-

straight bread flour, and so is
best for baking. For with the

modest manner, however.
Exaggerated shoulders, sleeves
and capes are out.
In their place we have soft
draped sleeves that hang from
the shoulders in graceful folds,
we have tiny capelets that are
no more than collars, and mere
caps over the shoulders, not
much more than shoulder
straps.
The drawstring neckline is
better than ever, and fullness
is always soft, never stiff and
jutting.
Satins Must Fit
Satin gowns should fit close
ly, clinging like your own skim
and this year they are smarter
if they are really long, touch
ing the ground, or if you want
to dance in them, almost to the
floor.
Be sure your gown is long
enough in front, for nothing
gives it more of a "last year
look, than to be short in front.
Tiny trains are much III
vogue. Some people cut them
off, but it's fun to wear them
a few times at least, If you
must discard them later.
Quilted Wings
We're showing two of the
new satin evening gowns, very
different, but both illustrative
of the varied detail that makes
them individual. :,

blue or pale flesh, with high
neckline in front, and low IN
the back. There are wing-like
sleeves that are quilted all over.

an otherwise simple gown.
About the knees, there's a
flounce that breaks the skirt
lines, and makes them more
graceful. This gown comes IN
Junior sizes, II to II, and Is

In Lovely COlOrs
The other gown is of satin
in a lovely blue called bluebell.
It has the gathered neckiine
that is both lovely and fashion
able, and sleeves that are MADE
from bands Of satin that go
back from the neckline, and
make a sash in the back. The
girdle is soft, and tied, too.

Beauty Queries

School Girl

Question: Dear Miss DumOnt:
l am IA and have brown hair,
medium skin with a few
freckIes. Lately 1 have had
trouble with pimpleS. l never
have but one at time but it
seems that as soon as 1 get rid
of one, 1 get another. 1 keep
my skin clean and wash my
face and hands as often as pos
Sible. 1 have thought of my
powder but as 1 use only good
brands, 1 don't think that is the
cause. What would you sug-
gest? Also would like to know
what shade powder and lip
stick 1 should use (if any lip
stick. 1 would also like to
have your opinion as to high
school girls using makeup.
Thanking you in advance, I re-
main, yours truly, H. S.
Answer: The pimples you
speak of more than likely come
from your physical condition.
Maybe there is too much acid
ity in your system. Get a doctor
to put you on diet. A rachel
powder should suit your skin.
And do not approve of high
school girls using makeup. If
you want to add a very slight
touch of color to your lips, try
one of the lip pomades on the
market.

She's Been Invited to Visit
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
This is a problem. You see
I care very much for a second
cousin of mine. He doesn't
know that; I wish he did. He
lives with his sister and she's
going to be married soon.
There is an invalid mother In
the house, too. Twice he has
invited me to visit them for a
weekend. Do you think it is
right to accept his invitation,
or should I wait until his
sister invites me? would
very much like to go. MAE.
In accepting an invitation
to visit, it is always well to
wait until it is at least seconded
by the ladies of the family, if
not proposed by them.
AS you're all of the same
family clan, you might say to
the young lady who is going
to be married that you'd be
glad to come and assist her
in any way, if it would be
agreeable.
