Recipe Given for
Unusual Cake.
And here we are going to give you
an example of what we mean by
changing an old favorite into a
new one with culinary trick or two.
Maple sirup and melted butter do
their part to lift the regular apple
upside down cake into the new
flavor class. The recipe calls for
four apples altogether. two are
washed cored and sliced into the
maple and butter mixture, and two
are washed and grated into a pulp
to add to the cake batter.

8 tablespoons butter.

Answer-Whatever you do to the
drawers in the way of lining I
would certainly give them about
three coats of paint, too 1t will
freshen up the inside-f1ll all the
cracks and do away with lot of
dust Select a suitable color-not
too dark, that goes with the color
scheme of the room. If you wish
to decorate the sides with painted
design you might use little mats
just for the bottom of the shelves.
These may be made of any of the
commercially made lining papers,
fastened with thumb tacks to the
bottom of the drawer, or of chintz
or some washable material. There
are many little landings and ruff
filings that you may purchase to
trim the edges. Wall paper may be
pasted right onto the wood surface
of the drawer and makes an mex
pensive, neat way of lining the
drawer. If the chest is for linen
or lingerie a quilted pad in the
drawer which has pockets for law
ender or sachet makes the lining
doubly attractive.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I had a most exquisite porcelain
group given to me for a wedding gift.
1t is of small animals and flowers,
and I would like to use it on my
dining table for centerpiece. The
only thing against it is that it is
black, and on the white tablecloth
with crystal black stemmed goblets
it looks funereal. What should I use
with it to avoid this? Should use
colored glassware? My dinner set
is plain white china with a little
black and much gold in the border.
MRS. D. r. G.
Answer-With your crystal black
and gold on white damask you are
going to get very formal effect un-
less you are careful. Suggest that
you use the palest pastel dinner
cloth and napkins. and simple flow
ers like tulips, daisies and the like
in all colors in the base of candle
holder. Use very slender, tall black
candles. think your black center
piece would be delightful with the
clusters of pastel flowers at each
side and the whole on a pale yellow
or flesh or blue cloth.

ana the room seems very QedQ look
ing. Also, what window hangings
could you suggest to brighten up this
room? Thanking you for any in
formation you may give me.
MISS V. j.
AnsWer-If you had not stated that
you had dotted swiss curtains in
your room I would have suggested
them to you. If they are still usable
I suggest that you trim them with
bands of rickrack braid in the peach,
yellow, aqua and black. Set the
rows about half an inch apart and
stitch in place. Then tie them back
with a pom-pom of narrow stiff
black velvet ribbon. Do the same
to the dresser skirt and I think you
will get more accent right away.
II you need new curtains the only
change I would suggest is in the
color of the dotted swiss. I would
prefer the peach color-and then
use small bits of black and large
bits of the aqua for accent and con-
trast. Have your curtains very full
at the windows and it would be
more in keeping with the Colonial
idea not to have overdraperies.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have an old chest Of drawers
which is worth keeping because of
its ample drawer space. In refin-
ishing the outside a careless painter
allowed paint remover to drop into
the inside of the drawers. AS the
wood is old and dusty looking I
would like to line the drawers-can
you suggest how it may be done
best? MRS. C. r. F..

fonder" especially true!
Unusual combinatio can some
times lift prosaic dish into the
realm of dinner party" food. Dress
ing up some simple fruit with a lit
tie cordial, or going out of your way
to find an especially fine canned
variety. offers a pleasant change.
For instance. there are whole
peaches. whole apricots, nectarines
and green gage plums to be had that
are worthy of the name of French
fruit compote-that dessert SO be-
loved by all travellers in Europe.
This same brand includes enormous
big black cherries and halved pears
that are better than most. In the
small sizes you could buy a can
of each, combine them in the real
European manner, and serve them
with dash of cherry cordial as a
truly epicurean DESSERT!
Put Your Ice Cream
In Pastry Shells.
A new twist to the ice cream
finale is developed by putting spoon
fuls of the cream into freshly baked
pastry tart shells. Serve these in
dividually, of course, and pass with
them a sauceboat containing pre-
served cumquats heated in their
own sirup to which little brandy
has been added.
Whole fat fresh Strawberries in
pastry shells, with a dab of whipped
cream on top and big berry sitting
in the middle of that makes a nice
new version of the strawberry short
cake idea And bowl of the whole,
juicy berries, washed and still cap
ped, passed with powdered sugar to
dip them in, is always enjoyable.
French pancakes, rolled with jam
and sprinkled with powdered sugar,
are good, and not often seen. If
you like, you may use marmalade
or partly melted maple sugar instead
of jelly or jam. There is a ginger
and fig marmalade that is especially
good with these pancakes.
Make a f1attish loaf of ginger
bread, cut it in sizable squares, split
them while piping hot. and fill CEN
ters with whipped cream. Serve at
once-and win the family's ap-
proval! And if you've never tried
serving white layer cake, thickly

My Neiehbor Soys:

If you plant delphiniums in
the spring, they will bloom
about a year from June, SO
plant the seeds now. Use as
soil a mixture of two parts of
loan and one part of sand.
After the first true leaves appear,
pot the plants individually, and
then put them into the ground
about May Is or thereabouts.
With good luck, you will get
some nice blooms in the middle
of August.
Drain the juice from any
canned fruit such as pears,
peaches or pineapple, flavor
with a little peppermint and
color with a speck of any color
vegetable coloring desired. This
favor-color combination i'm

Dorothy Dix Says
Woman's Tears May Be Weapon
But They Indicate Selfshness

a canany bird, who is a free weeper
to outWit the most astute man, to
change a bemedaled war hero into
a trembling coward. to cause honest
men to become thieves and strong
men to work themselves to death
to try to stop the flood she poured
over them.
We see this happen every day
We know plenty of men who are
married to women whom they have
never loved and never had the
slightest intention Of marrying until
Ethel or Sally or Maud turned the
hydraulic pressure on them and
landed them at the altar before they
knew it. They could have withstood
any other sort of force, but when a
pretty little thing clung to them and
cried for them. they didn't have the
heart to refuse her.
And look at the henpecked men
we know, the poor, doWntrodden
creatures who say our pants and
dare not call their souls their own!
Are they dominated by Amazons
who crack the whip over them and
make them Jump through the hoop
at their command? Rarely. The
lady dictators of the home seldom
rule with an iron hand. They do it
with their tears. They use the
water cure on their husbands when
ever they show any signs of rebel
lion, and they collapse into a sodden
mass of acquiescence.
A man can fight with a wife who
fights back. He can argue with one
who is open to reason. But he is
helpless before one who just sits
down and opens the flood gates until
she browns out his last ounce of re-
sistance and makes the home such
a damp, dismal uninhabitable place
that lA gives in to get out of it.

Probably no other gift that heaven
can bestoW upon a girl is so valu-
able as the ability to weep without
her nose getting red. 1t is an asset
upon which she can always depend
in need. For if given eyes that can
become wells of grief that overflow
in crystal drops that do not even
wash the makeup off of their own
er's cheeks, a woman can get away
with murder, as is amply proven by
the number of ladies who float
safely past the electric chair on
their tears.
Why tears have this strange and
mysterious power upon us, we do
not know. For, in reality, we all
have a contempt for winners and
complainers. Also, we know perfect
ly well that nine times out of ten
tears are racket of which we are
being made the victim, yet when we
