plates on which it is to be served.
Care should be taken that the cake

thermometer. Then add rum ex-

TEXAS CITIES.
From Mrs. HON., WGShingtonD
Both Dallas and Fort Worth are
modern and progressive cities,
with Dallas being the larger of
the two. Located in the southwest.
the climate is quite warm, that is
to say, hot and dry, in summer,
but this is partly Offset by the low
humidity and the cool night
breeze. The two cities are only 80
miles apart. which makes COM
muting very convenient, for either
business or pleasure. Both Dallas
and Fort Worth are noted for
their large, modern department
stores. Situated so close together,
there is, of course, considerable
rivalry between the two cities, al
though, there is quite a difference
in the tempo, Fort Worth being
typically Western while Dallas is
typically Eastern. There is quite
a bit of night life in Dallas. a
little less in Fort Worth. Dallas
has one very beautiful suburb
known as Highland Park. while
Fort Worth has its Arlington
Heights. Housing is probably still
very scarce, yet rents are not un-
reasonably high. I am sure that
the Chambers of Commerce in
these two cities will be glad to give
you any further assistance you
might need.

AFRICAN VIOLETS.
(From Mrs. M.B.T., SilUer SPRING.
For those numerous inquiries
about yellow African violets. may
I quote in part from June, 1850,
Better Homes and Gardens:
Scientists say there is practically
no chance of ever getting a yellow
because the necessary color fac
tors just aren't there. The Afri-
can violet carries only factors for
red, blue and white. These COL
ors or combinations of them make
pink or lavender, but about the
only chance for a yellow is for
some plant explorer to discover
