YELLOW CAKE:
CoCONUT FRosT1Nd.
(Frour Mrs. X. B. M, Nashin0toA) }
To L. H. B.. who requested .
moist. tender and feathery cake. I
feel that this is excellent and Win
be your answer. It Is simple 70
make and can bs varied % easily
by changing the frosttng.
Tender Yellow Cake and CseonuS
Frosting-Cream together 4 cup
shortening and ~ cups sugar, add
8 whole eggs, one at time. beating
after each. Sift together ) cups
cake flour, 3 teaspoons baking pow
der and u teaspoon salt and add
alternately with ~ cups milk.
ENDING with dry ingredients,
please. One teaspoon vanilla Or
other desired extract may bs used or
q combination Of extracts. Lightly
grease and hour three S-inch cake
pans or two o-inch cake pans, divide
batter evenly into pans and bsks
In preheated oven at $50 degrees
for Is to 30 minutes. Remove and
cool before frosttng. Do not cool
cake layers in . draft Or they may
fall, yes, even after baking.
Frostinx-Put 2 egg whites. IN
cups sugar. Y teaspoon cream o6
tartar. 14 teaspoon salt, l teaspoon
vanilla and u cup water or liquid
from coconut in top Of double boiler
and place over boiling water and
using rotary beater, beat for Z min
utes or until frosting stands In
peaks. Remove and add ons-third
to one half of tho shreddsd coconut
and frost top and sides OF layers
and sprinkle remaining ooconut a
top Of frosting, patting gently Il
necessary to stock.
My favorite Of oooonut frost&ngs Is
the whipped cream kind. but o(
course, more expensive. Whip and
sweeten l pint Of heavy cream md
add / teaspoon vanilla and stir IN
part Of the shredded oooonut and
spread cream on layers and pat On
additional coconut and store In Te-
frigerator. Either Of these frost
ings is delicious and I feel almost
certain you will like them.
And might add, cake hour real
ly makes a difference far superior
than when general or all-purpose
flour is used. Try 1t. won't your I
made the change and believe me
from now on it's for me. Also, Use
standard and accurate measure
ments, the rewards are worth the
minute 1t takes, and your cake Will
be consistently good.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU"
(Fron. Mrs. A. c. r., Washington. J
hope you recognized your re-
sponse for the children at Gallingel
In the story Of how Santa used
the elevator for the toys he brought
there. It proved . surprising ad.
venture.
Two boxes were sent to the little
girl who went home in time fos
Christmas and . note of kind
acknowledgment has been received
Slippers for the little 3-year- old
boy were the concern of 80 many
Of you. I wish you might have
seen him wearing them and pulling
. red wagon marked especially for
him. There were tiny toys and
50 many other things to fill Christ
mas stockings sent In. Money was
sent by those who could not shop
so we bought other stockings to fill,
and tangerines. Dolls were In the
minority until we turned money
into new dolls; 50 every one was
happy. Doll clothes came in to
dress dolls without clothes, games
and books and soft stuffed animals.
They came 10 fast the phone
calls kept on coming, that only
with the help Of friends who sorted
them, was that part taken care Of
1t seemed that the compassionate
love with which you responded to
the needs of these little ones was
sensed by child with her gifts and
a glowing face who softly asked
Are you a mother?" They under
stood! We thank youi
