CAKES AND OTHER GOOD THINGS.
To bo n good cake maker, one must
have practice, for as with everything
that Is well done,
skill comes ly do;
Ing.
Cream Loaf
Cake.r- Cream
one-half cupful of
flour with three
teaspoonfuls of
hnklnt! nowder
mid half a cupful of cornstarch. Add
one-half cupful of rich milk or thin
ereani alternately with the Hour mte
ture, heating well, then fold In the
whites of the eggs beaten stiff and one
teaspoonful of lemon extract. For the
Icing, boll together seven-eighths of a
cupful of sugar with three tablespoon
fuls of cold water and one egg white
uaced over boiling water and beaten

Add a dozen marshmallows If liked and
seat until cool.

of a cupful of shortening with one cup
ful of light brown sutr'ar. add the volks
uf two eggs, one-half cupful of milk,
one and one-half cupfuls of flour, two
teaspoonfuls of baklnc nowder. two
eggs, one teaspoonful of vanilla, ono-
tourtii teaspoonful of salt and one cup
ful of chopped pecans. Blend the mix
ture as usual, folding in the whites at
the last. Cover the top with :
Maple Icing. Add one-half tea
spoonful of butter to two tublcspoon
fuls of hot nlllk, then add one and one
half cupfuls of confectioner's sugar, a
little at n time until smooth and of the

utes, In the pan In which It Is to be
baked, then bake In a moderate oven

Success In housekeeping adds credit
to the woman of Intellect, and luster
to a woman's accomplishments.
HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES.
The efflcicnt housekeeper Is the one
who notices the little tilings, which
most leave un
done or despise,"
for the small
things which fill
such n large
place n life are
much mote im
portant tlinn the
occasional blc
thing. In the preparation of vegeta
bles and fruit there is a great waste.
The careful peeling of potatoes will
save a great amount of food hi a few
months. Potntoes may be cooked In
their jackets for many dishes, saving
the time lu preparing and waste In
peeling.
Keeping the paring and cnrvlng
knives well sharpened Is an economy,
for no matter how expert, there will
be waste In usjug a dull tool.
When using a gas stove, the broiler,
If It is the oven burner, can be used
while the oven Is working, saving gas
and getting its full value. In many
cases the Oven burners may be turned
off Ave to ten minutes before the food
Is to be removed.
Crackers will keep crisp for a long
time If kept tightly covered away
from the air. If at all stale, by placing
them In a hot oven to crisp they will
he quite as good as If fresh.
A dessert that may be prepared
while one Is getting breakfast will ap
peal to the average cook. Such a des
flort Is Junket. Tako one Junket tablet,
crush It and dissolve In a tnblespoonful
of water. For a quart of milk one tab
let Is sufllclent; take half a tablet for
n pint of milk, which will make four
rherbet cups of dessert. Sweeten and
flavor to taste; stir In the dissolved
tablet and let the glasses stand In a
warm room to set before cooling. The
milk should be heated to Just luke
warm before the dissolved tablet Is
added. Hotter than that will spoil the
Junket and It will not thicken. Serve
with cream, chopped nuts, grated ma
ple sugar, candled or preserved ginger
or any fruit.
Tea and coffee should never be left
In open receptacles or paper bags,
but should be carefully sealed In nlr
tlght cans or Jars.
The oil mops for the bare floors, the
diislless dusters, all help to make the
cleaning of n room much easier than
the old methods of broom nnd hard
tepug, besides saving tho stirring
np of eiouds of dust.
A vnciium cleaner cleans runs, fur-
iittirc. curtains and mattresses, thus
doing e.wny with much hard work.

FIND A BECOMING .HAT
VKItY woman may go to fho mil
llnery shop determined to find n
hat that adds at least 20 per cent o
her attractiveness, for such n hat Is
to be found there. There Is so crent u
variety of shapes and such diversity
or styles mat it is not hard to follow
the ndvicc conveyed by that relinhln
old millinery adage which says a wom
an should look better with her hat
than without It. She may choose be
tween hats larire. smnll nnd medium in
size, nil good style, In endless variety
of shapes and materials nnd having
tho ndvuntage of real beauty In their
Hues. If the head Is an nverngo size
It will not he hard to find a becoming
shape, but, If It Is wither larircr or
smaller than the average, a hat must
be made lo fit It, for this Is the mnm
essential thing In the matter of becom-
Itigness.
There are quite a number of little
hats with veils of net or lace playing
the nost Important part In their
adornment. Usually the veils are vorj
brief affairs draped cleverly on slmpo
along with flowers They are wonder
fully becoming. In a few models 11

Just fur enough to cover the eyes mit'
Into a deep Purve. The ney feature
In this frock Is the deep border at tho
bottpm of the skirt of a machine-mado
smocking. The same smocking makes
the cuffs. A narrow frill of flno Ince
at the neck and a girdle of heavy silk
cord, ending In n long and handsome
tassel, meusure up to the quality of
the dress.
The foulard dross appears to bo
made with n tunic, but close In

On spring and summer millinery flow

these pretty trimmings a revival of
times gone by In the styles, appears
In the lint of llsere braid with Its sash

Among the hats for mfdsummei
there are many black ones of hnli

them have very wldo b.rluis and col

very long-stemmed roses droop over

other models a variety of flowers

show that apparently every city In tho

Chicago, for example, has appar

A. II. Armstrong, chairman of the

big electric companies and n trans
portation engineer of note, declnres
that two-thirds of the coal now burned
nnnunlly In the (53,000 steam locomo
tives of tho country can bo saved by
n system of completo electrification.
These locomotives burn nbouM22,100,
000 tons, he says. In other words, tha
country Is today wasting In this way
enough coal to pay Interest charges
on tho cost of completely electrifying
all tho railroads of tho United StntcB.
A supcrmnn from Alurs If such
there Is und he should pay us a visit
would cither Inugh or weep over our
coal situation. Then he wojild ask
questions, which doubtless would run
something like this:
Why do you burn up n lnrgo part
of tho mined conl In distributing It by
railroad why don't you convert tho
coal Into electric energy at the mini
