Wine Adds Flavor

the finest vintages for your culinary
purposes, but your criterion should
be that the wine that goes into
any dish is acceptable enough. to
drink along with that dish at the
meal which follows. That is a
good safe rule to chalk up and one
by which many q gourment, and
amateur chef, has made his culinary
reputation.
We spoke of sherry a few moments
ago. Actually sherry Is one Of the
least important wines In cooking.
Like Madeira 1t is q f1avoring for
special dishes, such as newburgs,
q Ia kings, chicken livers and other
oddities. But wise cooks know that
full use can be made of the dry
red and white wine in almost any
dish to give it subtlety as well
as zest.
Another resolve to make is-don't
be too hidebound when it comes to
q choice of wines. Do little ex-
perimenting and decide which wine
does the most for the dish you are
preparing. Some fish turn out
better when red wine is used while
some dark meat concoctions are
superb when q little white wine
Is added to them. There's no hard
and-fa rule that says white wine
with nsh, red wine with meats,
when It comes to cooking.

This Is a good time for resolutions
relevant to the use Of wine in cook
ing. This is still a mystery to
many feminine cooks, although for
years most American men have
used wine in preparing their pieces
de resistances with great success.
There are answers to objections to
the use Of alcohol in cooking. When
wine Is used in q dish, 1t is used
largely to replace an equal amount
of water, for wine Is mostly water,
with certain fiavors Of its own,
which add distinction to the food
with which 1t is blended. As for
the 10 per cent or 10 Of alcohol
which It contains, this passes of
exactly as 1t does in yeast-baked
bread. Therefore, your finished dish
contains little or no alcohol and
simply the distinctive flavors OF the
wine.
One big resolution to make in
the use of wine in cooking is not
to employ cooking wine" Cooking
sherry. for instance, Is usually an
inferior brew, unfit to drink and,
therefore, unfit to cook with. For,
as we pointed out, you are using
the wine to get the special flavor
and II the wine has q poor flavor,
there is no reason for including It
In any dish.
OF course. you do not have to
buy the most expensive wines and

"DEWEY'S POUND CAKE"

BOTTLE DOOR STOP;
MODELLING DOUGH.


From Mrs. H. S. L., SilDer Spring. ]
To the reader who wished to know
how to make door-stoppers Of bot
ties, which resemble dolls: Use q
bottle which has a narrow neck (the
old fashioned beer bottles are q
good size and shape; fill the bottle
with sand and insert stick to
q depth to give solidity, let
ting it protrude above the bottle to
the height you want the head Of the
doll. Take q pair Of mems black
socks-if in good condition they
do not have to be new, but can have
worn spots cut out-stuf the toe
of one with cotton to make the
head, slipped down over the stick
and the top of the bottle, with black
thread wound around at the neck
line. The other part OF sock covers
the bottom Of the bottle, cutting
round fiat piece for the bottom, as,
If the bottom of the bottle is not
smoothly covered the bottle will not
be able to sit straight. If there is
no stick in the neck Of the bottle
the doll will have q timber neck,
and the head will not stay erect.
The features are embroidered, using
red embroidery thread for the
mouth, white teeth, and the eyes
can be either embroidered in any
chosen colors, or buttons sewed on
in place. The nose should be indi-
Gated at the nostrils, white thread.
Now we are ready to dress the doll.
The blouse Is first, and has no
sleeves; then comes very full skirt
Of gingham or cretonne. Over the
skirt Is tied a full apron Of white.
with a pocket. Over the blouse goes
q folded shawl, and 1t can be held
by a large costume pin made OF
beads, a or what have your" The
shawl should be Of a square of wool,
If possible, fringed on the edge, and
folded in half diagonally. Last
comes the sunbonnet, a double
straight strip for the front, a gath
cred shaped piece for the back and
ties to go under the chin.
II you wish to make Colonial
lady for the doorstep, use pair OF
white socks and dress the doll in
the Colonial manner instead; or one
could make a gypsy doll, using light
tan socks. Oftentimes one sock will
cover a bottle. The heel is cut out.
Perhaps the readers would like
directions for making an excellent
modelling clay for children to use
called salt dough-" This was
taught us by our mother, and has
been used for the next generation.
Two tablespoons Of salt (nat), !
(fiat) tablespoon flour thoroughly
mixed. To this add very small
amount of water to make dough.
You have to add q little at q time
to get the amount right. Cook in
an aluminium pan for about 8 min
utes, stirring constantly. You have
to tell by the texture when it has
cooked enough, and constant STIR
ring is necessary to keep 1t from
sticking and burning. Now it is
ready for working. A small piece
of the dough Is rolled in the palm
of the hand to make ball, and
then formed into whatever you wish.
In modelling animals, one ball Is
rolled, then shaped to make the
body, and separate rolls make each
leg, the head and the, tail. We
made . bowl and filled 1t with mini
ature fruits. After the things mod

Now for that meat. After you

QUERIES?
from Mrs. A. P. H., Washington J
I would be glad to hear from
some reader whose child has taken
piano lessons from the public
schools. My son is taking them now
and seems to be enjoying 1t thor
oughly. However, he doesn't seem
to learn anything about time and
I wonder II later on they taught
the value Of the notes and how to
count time. I hope later on to
give him private lessons and I
don't want him to have too bad
start.
Will some one please come to my
rescue and tell me how to dip choc-
olates that will stay brown and not
turn q dingy gray color? I've read
books and books and tried all kinds
of ways and still they will turn
gray. One book says use cocoa
butter, another says use parafiin.
How about it? Don't tell me to
cool them on q marble slab because
I haven't the vaguest idea where
to get one. i have wonderful luck
with cooked fondant and my GEN.
ters are always wonderful but the
outsides. just couldn't look less ap-
petizing.
Does any one have a favorite
recipe for a wine punch? I would
be glad to have several different
ones If possible.
