feet Souffle or an angel-food that is as light as a feather is the element of failure that enters in.
 No perfect Souffle or feather light cake served to guests brings com plete satisfaction to hostess unless at least one woman guest admits, T don't see how you do 1t. Mine never turns out like this"
 if there is anything that will take the thrill out of cooking for women it would be making all recipes fool-proof, so that bride could turn out as perfect pastry as woman who has learned to be an expert cook only after years of prac- tice.
 SCIENCE VS. ART
 If you doubt this, notice the apologetic air of the hostess who admits the baked beans her guests are raving over were dumped out of can and doctored up in few min uteS-instead of being the home baked kind that take days fuss ing and watching over.
 Women like to do their cooking the hard way-and they like the gamble they take when they tackle a dish that just might not come out right. T didn't know HOW it would turn out when I started,' they tell each other triumphantly. Take that chance of failure out of cooking and it becomes a science instead of an art. And women prefer to have cooking an art that gives them a chance at self-expression.

Cream-Seal Hands For Dirty Chores
RY ALICIA HART

When you go into the garden to dig-if you're the kind of earth grubber who feels hampered by gloves-wear a cream on your hands to seal up pores.
 One of these protective creams first devised as an industrial hand cream for war workers and now used gleefully by many women anxious to guard the beauty of their hands-keeps almost everything on the outside. When you wash your cream sealed hands in plain water, you'll find all the dirt floats of with the cream.
 Plug up your nails by digging them into a cake of soft soap be- fore you tackle garden rows to pre-, vent the entry of dirt. These dirt catch-all also will float out from tips when you wash your hands.
 A nightly routine oiling Of nails with an anti-brittle cream, during the months ahead when your hands wrestle with weeds and 8 hoe. will keep tips more resistant to hard wear and tear.
