Sweets on Hand
for After
School
Cakes, some persons think, are
cold weather desserts. Not pan
cakes, but just all. sorts of layer and
' drop cakes. They consider this
form of sweets a little too filling
for warm weather meals.
But cakes, if you choose the right
kinds,1 are really quite one of the?
most suitable summer day desserts.
And if you have a few good cake
recipes you need never be in quan
dary as to what sort of dessert to
have.
. Indeed, you can have one good
foundation recipe which, varied, will
give you all sorts of delicious re
sults. There is the easy recipe
" which has been given in these col
' umns several times but one which
is worth repeating, so simple is it
to make and so easy to vary. It
calls for a cup of sugar and a cup
and a half of flour sifted twice, with
three level teaspoons of baking pow
, dcr and a teaspoonful of salt. Then
break two eggs in a cup,, fill the
cup with milk and add to the dry
ingredients with five tablespoons of
melted butter or its equivalent in
cooking oil. Beat all together with
a rotary egg beater. The result fa
a smooth, rather thin batter, which
makes very satisfactory layer or
patty cakes. And this foundation
may be varied in many ways.
One way is to add a little ginger,
cinnamon and allspice or cloves and
bake in small patty cakes. Then
serve with whipped cream for des
sert.' Another is to bake it In little patty
tins and to split each cake in half,
crosswise that is, taking off the top.
Put in a layer of sliced peaches, lay
on the top and serve with boiled cus
tard. '
Another is to make the cake in
two layers and put together with a
filling of thick boiled custard, very
cold, and top with powdejed suga
or whipped cream.
Another is to add washed and well
dried huckleberries to the battqr and
serve with hard sauce. x
This same foundation, baked in
layers, makes a very good cake for
shortcakea of berries or" peaches,
with whipped cream, sweetened, on
top.
And with it you can also make a
good ice cream cake, putting the ice
cream, chocolate, vanilla or peach,
between the layers.
Nothing is a better dessert for
summer than fresh fruit And with
r t t c t. .1.
iresn iruu suiiic kuiu ui u.c ia i-
ways acceptable. So it is with ice
cream, next to fruit, perhaps, as a
summer dessert - There was a time
when we bewailed our liking for ice
cream, talking of the folly of put
,'ting that mass of ice cold food in
our poor stomaches. But nowadays
ice cream made from pure milk is
' considered wholesome and desirable.
Our poor stomachs hare shown
themselves quite capable of handling
that amount of cold and, of course,
the milk, which is the main in
gredient of ice cream, is a desirable
food.
Sometimes it is a good plan to
use ice cream with fruit A big
tablespoon of ice cream with a split
peeled peach makes a dessert fit for
kings and queens,

Your Thanksgiving Turkey
Tht Turkey.
Probably there ar hundreds of
thousands of people who would
agree that slice of perfectly cooked
roast turkey perfectly cleaned be
fore roastinc is one ot the most
agreeably flavored of all meats. Gen
erations ol men have to decided.
As to what particular piece of
meat from the turkey it moot agree
able of flavor, there it a difference
of opinion, but the everyday United
Statet decision seems all In favor
of the white or breast meat An
American carver't practice, who has
done hit work without asking for
preferences, thus forcing the agoniz
edly polite to say "a wing," has
been to give a slice of white meat
and a slice of dark from second
joint or drumstick.
There are anecdotes from French
sources which show that some of
the famous men who were most de
voted to the joys of the table pre
ferred the "pope's nose," or "the rear
tip of the plucked fowl. There is
one famous anecdote about this por
tion to the effect that the turkey
was prepared solely that it might be
enjoyed.
Oyster Pieces Choice.
But a great number of sophisti
cated eatejs have said that the most
tasty morsels in the bird's' anatomy
were the "oysters," so called be
cause in shape and size they are
thouffht to resemble an oyster.
These two tidbits are in the hip cavi
ties, or In the hollows of the side
bones, that is, on either side of the
backbone, rearwards. In some
farm ie these Pieces ko to the guest
of honor or the favorite and favored.
Most likely there are thousands of
people who have never known where
ance to vour audience, as if they
were standing on their heads and
singing! Ihe end man suddenly
lets hia corner of the sheet drop,
giving away the deception.

Mademoiselle Tight-Rope Walker,
Lay a thick clumsy rope on the floor
in a straight line, nave tne guest
who does this stunt dress in a funny
costume. She comes on, wearing a
kimono, and starts her rope-walking.
She pretends to balance herselt,
usinir a tiny aon parasoi. Alter a
few minutes of struggling balancing,
she gains her poise, throws off her
kimono, and balances a clothespin
or ruler pn her nose or chin. A bit
of chewing gum on the end of the
article makes this balancing act
perfect It is always amusing to see
mid-air antics of this sort, placed on
the level.

has accepted a position,
the oyster pieces were, nor what was
their worth, since the dismantled
frame of the turkey has often been
found to contain them after quite
distinguished Thanksgiving dinners
ana banquets, and the thrifty house
wife later in preparing the frame for
the stock pot has put aside these bits
for the turkey salad. These oyster
pieces are to be found in the chick
en's as well the the turkey's back,
ana the rrench have given them
name which means in our words,
" the part which the fool leaves
ut course, the oyster pieces are
dark meat, and the same sort of meat
from the second joint is almost as
delicate, sis a correctly roasted
turkey, but the smaller Pieces, beina
well protected in the cooking, get the
best flavor. Drumsticks are poor
eating it the tendons nave not been
removed. A butcher who will chop
off the legs of a turkey without first
cutting through the skin and remov
ing these bands, a stiff framework
in the piece if it is cooked with them,
does not know his business. The
housewife with knowledge of such
things, and devoted to the best prac
tices, will not buy a turkey without
its legs and will pull out the tendons
nerselt one at a time or all if she
uovise a vise ot a door hinge or
otherwise.
Cover Breast With Bacon.
The breast of the turkey, the two
sides of which the chef calls the su
premes, is too often a dry piece of
meat. Since it will cook done much
sooner than the legs, good cooks
cover it with a blanket of thin salt
pork (larding bacon) or with heavy
oiicu paper to prevent it from shriv
eling. To carve a turkey's breast in
beautifully thin slices, the knife must
not drag, as it will in the wrong re
lation to the grain, yielding ragged
slices, not thin ones.
The test of whether the turkey is
done is that of piercing the leg. If
the liquid or blood is white or faint
ly pink, the whole is done. If this
is kept from drying out by frequent
ly basting with the fat from the
turkey and that from the blanket of
pork it will be cooked to perfection.
People who care for their Thanks
giving turkey spare no pains in get
ting the right sort. They even
specify the breed, and have prefer
ences for turkey's raised in one state
rather than another. Vermont tur
keys were famous years ago, and
are still preferred by some chefs,
while others prefer a Pennsylvania
bird, and a certain Rhode Island
turkey-raiser has been well known
because of his years long practice
of sending a turkey to Washington
for the president's Thanksgiving
dinner. There is an anecdote about
the turkey sent as long ago as Pres
ident Buchanan's day which is en
tertaining. Texas has a . turkey
packing house.
The Mississippi boat captains
used accommodatingly to stop their
steamers and allow some European
traveler to go ashore with his dog
and gun to shoot wild turkeys.
Every one on the boat enioved his
bag, since the boat's cook was in
terested in this addition to his sup
plies. In old books there is no end
of stories of the hunting of wild tur
keys and, of course, the bird of the
(irst Thanksgiving was a wild tur
key.
. . Dressings. .
As to the stuffing, there have been
great differences of opinion, many
cooks preferring a collection of
flavoring vegetables under the roast
ing turkey in the pan and in the
turkey's vital cavity. A dry dress
ing draws out the juices of the tur
key and is not enough improved
to pay. A strong flavored dressing
obliterates the delicate flavors of the
meat of a younK turkev. Some
The Unsurpassable

make a gift showing thoughtful
appreciation.

Mother Goose Is
Good for Your
Children
Every child should have access to
a well illustrated ropy of Mother
Goose, says the National Kindergar
ten association. "This is true not
only because these little jingles rep
resent the heartbeats of the race, but
because they have within them great
educative value. The tiny babe is
lulled by their rhythm, to which alt
the primitive in him responds, and
his eye is caught by the pictures
long before he is able to interpret
them. Grownups never outlive
them. Poor indeed Is the child who
is denied this foundation of the
classics.
"Mother Goose represents the first
attempt of the race to give us a liter
ature. Away back in the beginning of
time, long before the days of books,
these verses developed. The race,
no doubt, was in that rhythmic stage
where people loved to swing and
sway their bodies to music; queer
music it was, too, for we hear it was
often made by beating toncs or
sticks together, but always the rhy
thm was the appealing thing. So,
too, the sounds oi rhyming words
tickled thir ears, and when they first
develoned these jingles they were so
pleased with therq that they repeated
them over and over, handing them
down from generation to generation.

cooks use two dressings a delicate
one in the breast, perhaps of chest
nut, and a more definite sort in the
main cavity,
One of the great cooks uses a
savorv and delicate cooked rice, a
sort of pilau which takes nothing of
flavor from the turkey, practically,
because of the fat in it, and gives
almost nothing, while it docs not
prevent Shrinkage in the roasting.
Many expert cooks either break or
entirely remove the breast bone so
that the turkey shall have a round,
full abearance when it is cooked.
And as to its general preparation,
the facts about it are in general
much better known than are some
of the facts mentioned above. The
ancient Mrs. Glasse tells us how to
"dress a turkey to perfection," and
we could perfectly well follow old
Dr. Kitchener's rather long recipe
for roasting a turkey. Mrs. Glasse
gives a long page to one of her
recipes for roasting a turkey she
papers the breast and then she has
one "to roast a turkey the genteel
way," and again in the Dutch way.
The genteel way is to bone the
turkey, and the cook books of
eminent chefs gjve us explicit direc
tions for this; but a boned turkey
would not be a Thanksgiving tur
key. And as to recipes for cooking
turkey, are they not to be found in
scores, yes, hundreds? To describe
every detail is to prepare a bulletin
of ample pages.

"Our children of the pre-school
and kindergarten age are in this
same stage of development They
too, are susceptible to rhythm; they
love to swing and sway and hop to
music, and their ear is also caught
by the sound of rhyming words.
They need material like Mother
Goose, for it is the product of many
minds. They are to .hem what
Shakespeare is to the sdult, because
these rhymes are richer than any
thing one person can give them.
"Many of us used to think that
Mother Goose made these rhymes
in Boston town long ago, and
we liked to think of them as dis
tinctly American, but such is not the
case. These jingles came down to
us from the primitive races and
Mother Goose was only a very
clever teller of these tales a woman
who made so many children happy
that in her honor we call them
Mother Goose rhymes.
"The child who is brought up on
Mother Goose learns to read natur

from hearing mother say them and
locates them by the. pictures, Fin.lly
he sees them as word units and is
able to recognize the same words
in different rhymes. This "qips
him with a working vocabulary
which is of inestimable value when
he enters school. Best of all, t has
not been work but only play."
