Cake Hints.
In changing a foundation cake re
ripe, or using a cake-chart, the fol
lowing points in cake making will
help you:
When nuts are used, add 1-4 teas
spoon salt for every cup of nuts.
Salt brings out the flavor of the
nuts.
When chocolate or the very best
:6coa is used, less shortening will
se needed than in a plain cake, be
rause the chocolate contains fat.
When fruit is used, dust it with
flour and prepare a stiff er batter
than for plain cake, otherwise the
fruit will sink to the bottom.
When the number of eggs is in
creased, decrease the baking pow
der. One beaten egg is equivalent
to onehalf teaspoon baking powder
in leavening power.
Egg and milk together should not
exceed Wi cups liquid with three
cups of flour.
Shortening will vary a trifle ac
cording to richness desired, and ac
cording to shortening . used and
whether nuts, cream, full evaporated
milk, or chocolate are used. Pure
lard, vegetable shortening, or salad
oil is the richest shortening. Oleo
margargine comes next, and butter.
A large amount of shortening
makes a cake close-grained; a small
amount makes it porous, but it dries
easily. Too much fat causes the
cake to crumble and it may be
heavy,
If melted fat is used in a cake, add
it cool. If added hot the cake will
he tough, coarse in grain, and not
so light as desired.
If fat is increased in cake a larger
proportion of flour and leavening
will be needed or less milk.
If water is substituted for milk,
use seven-eighths cup water where
I cup milk is called for.
If cream is substituted for milk,
lessen the shortening and use more
:ream than the milk that is called
or. ,
Fruit and chocolate, as well as
molasses and sour milk, contain
icid; for this reason soda is some
'.imes put into recipes containing
.hem.
An excess of soda combines with
fatty acids and a soapy taste re
sults, also brown spots often ap
pear on the biscuit or cake that con
tains more soda than necessary. Use
a half level teaspoon of soda to a
cup of sour milk and one-fourth tea
spoon of soda to a cup of molasses.
Question Box.
"Anxious Betty." The clams
found in Nebraska streams are not
identical with salt water clams; but
I am told that they are edible, and
may be prepared in the same fash
, ion as . other clams. They are
tougher than marine clams.
Steamed Clams, ,
Clams for steaming should be in
the shell and alive. Wash clams
thoroughly, scrubbing with a brush,
changing the water several times.
Put into a large kettle, allowing
one-half cup of hot water to four
iuarts clams; cover closely, and
steam till shells partially open, care
being taken that they are not over
done. Serve with melted butter.

Clean and pickover clams, using
one cup of cold water; drain, reserve
liquor, heat to boiling point, and
strain. Chop finely hard part of
clams; cut pork in small pieces and
try out; add onion, fry five minutes,
and add potatoes, hard part of clams
and boiling water to cover. Look
till potatoes are done, then add soft
part of clams, milk, butter and salt
and pepper. Cook a few minutes
then add crackers softened m cold
milk. Add strained and heated
clam water just before serving. The
water to cover potatoes should be
nearly absorbed before other in
gredients are added.
Frog Legs.
Frog legs are not only edible, but
considered a great delicacy. They
are usually fried.
. . Turtles.
The soft shelled turtle Is olive
above with small round black spots.
The limbs are olive brown spotted
with black. The under parts of the
shell are white. These soft-shelled
turtles are very much flattened. 1 he
young snappying turtle is also used
.for food.
Turtle Soup.
" The turtle should be hung up for
several hours to bleed thoroughly.
Skin the extremities by plunging in
to boiling water. Separate the shells
carefully, jn order that the gall bag
i is not broken. The soup is made
of the eggs, flesh and extremities
. much as other soup is made. (Long
cooking in water, with seasonings.)
A slice of ham adds good flavor, and
a' little rice is sometimes cooked in
the soup at the end.

Announcement Card The an
nouncement card will be attached
to the streamer and concealed in
the basket. At the suggestion of
the hostess each guest will take
up the flowers and thus draw the
card from the basket. On each card
have written the names of the en
gaged couple. These cards may be
plain or wedding bells.
Candles A very pretty effect may
be brought about by darkening the
room and arranging candles, with
shades to harmonize with other
decorations, on the table and other
p'aces in the room where they will
shed a mellow light throughout the
room. If candles are used let them
be the only lighting in the room.

Heart Beats
By A. K.
We longed
And we sighed
And then we tried
To select our company
Even our occupation
Among ''correct" people
Who knew absolutely
How words should ge grouped.
The popular slang
(Expressive we admit)
Was working its way
Into our vocabulary.
One day we "broke
The traces"
Of our environment
And sought a position '
With cultured
Educated
"Purists"
Who never erred
Or abbreviated
But polished their
Remarks to the 'enth
Degree.
When we arrived
At the brink of our
New undertaking
Commonly known as the
"Office" ,
We met the big chief
Who very stiltedly
Launched a dissertation
On "Hat hooks:"
"Arranged here on the wall
You will find a series
Of hooks for use ,
By members of the staff.
If there be not
One available
For your purpose
We shall have the janitor
Place in a suitable
And convenient location
Such hook or hooks
As "you require."
After listening carefully
We felt sure that he meant
"There are the
Hat hooks.
If you need another
Tell the janitor."
As time dragged on
As it must under the yoke of
Corect speaking
We became better
Acquainted.
Our English was being
Improved
At least
It was greatly drawn out
And when we happened
To meet at lunch
One noon
And changed our
Appetite from the
Ice cream we had ordered
To watermelon
The waitress puzzled
Over the request:
"In lieu of ice cream
Bring us watermelon."
She took a chance
And we were served
With melon.
But now my ambition
Has changed
From wishing to be
A "Purist."
We've a mad hunger
For the society
Of Indians
Of urchins
Who save valuable time
And much labor by saying:
"Yeah nope
"Melon instead of cream
"Want another hook?
"Tell the janitor."
We long for the
Good old crowd
With their quick
Refreshing expressions
Condensed
Concise
Succinct
And spicy
We love those "go-getters"
Who are not burdened
With knowledge
But full to brim
With wisdom.

White Broadcloth
Suit
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
White broadcloth and serge are
extensively used for summer suits
which are adapted to sports wear
and, on account of their color, are
also suitable for occasions. In sum
mer the woman who is clad in a
smart white suit always looks well
dressed.
An effective use of braid trim
ming is displayed on this model, the
deep shawl collar of which is
trimmed with bands of white silk
braid, ending in loops. Braid is set
in bias lines under the arms, in a
panel-like arrangement that runs
from the sleeve to the end ot the
coat. The pockets are also braid
trimmed. A cord of heavy white
braid ties the fullness of the coat at
the waistline and ends yi two braid
ornaments.

Advice to the Lovelorn
Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are
No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave

Wedding Marches.
Daar Miss Fairfax, Omaha. Bee: I
have noticed In your descriptions of
weddings that a "Swan's Song" Is
very often used as a processional.
Can you tell me the name of the
composer or anything else about It,
or any other music that Is used other
than Lohengrin's or Mendelssohn's
Thanking you, yours very truly,
"ADTS."
A request for wedding music
comes from Nebraska City. John
Philip Sousa recently composed a
wedding march, as did also Victor
Herbert, and, I think, Reginald De
Koven. Besides these, there is a
wedding march by Alexander Guil
mant, for organ, and also a "Bene
diction Nuptiale," which was com
posed by him. "Cortege" by Debus
sy, and "Liebestraum" by Liszt, are
also appropriate. "In Paradisium"
and "Cantilena Nuptiale" by Du
bois, are also some well known organ
numbers, which are probably arrang
ed for piano. The "Swan Song" is
by Saint Saens, but a swan song
hardly seems appropriate to a wed
ding, as the song of the swan al
ways precedes its death. If you feel
that way about your wedding, how
ever well. I have no objection,
Federal Court.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Please tell me when the federal court
will sit in Omaha? Please answer in
your columns as soon as you can.
Federal court is In session now.
Wants Work.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
have been reading your excellent
advice in The Omaha Bee and de
cided to come to you with my own
troubles.
I am 15 years old, but many peo
ple take me to be about 17. Do you
think I could get work if I work
with my mother and give my correct
age? I am in high school and ex-
How You Can Make
Hair Quickly Disappear
pect to continue my studies In high
and then go to an art school. Do
you know where there is a good
one. Are there any charges, If so,
what are they?
Hoping to see this in The Omaha
Bee soon, I remain, thankfully yours,
ROBIN.
P. S. What does "moi petit" in
French mean?
Whether or not you can get work
at 16 years depends on your ability
and the kind of work you wish to
undertake. You probably could not
teach school, but there is a great
variety of employment to which you
would be eligible and adaptable dur
ing vacation months even at your
age.
Almost any good college or uni
versity, such as the University of
Nebraska, for example, maintains an
art department, giving instruction In
that subject. The fees are merely
nominal. The advantage of this
form of Instruction is that while you
are specialising in one particular
branch, your general education is
not neglected. There are, of course,
art schools one in Des Moines,
Chicago Art Institute in Chicago,
Art Students' League in New York,
Academy of Fine Arts in Philadel
phia. Write to any of them for their
catalogues, which will state the fees.
The French phrase you wish trans
lated means "my little one."
A Paradox.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a reader of The Omaha Bee and
have always been interested In the
"Lovelorn" column.
Now I am going to ask you a few
questions, which I hope you will
answer if you are not too busy.
I am a girl, 16 years old, and have
never gone out with a boy yet. Do
you think I am too young to go out
with boys yet?
Several boys have asked me to go
out with them, but I have always re
fused, thinking I was too young.
About what is the normal size and
weight of a girl my age?
What colors would fit me? I
have a clear, light complexion, with
dark auburn hair and brown eyes.
Hoping to see an answer In The
Bee soon, I thank you.
A READER.
Here is a paradox: A girl of 16
who thinks she is old enough to go
with boys Is not; but the girl that
age who thinks she is not old
enough to go with them realy Is.
The explanation for this is that 16
is young for a girl to be going with
boys and the girl, who realizes it,
has the good sense which makes as
sociation with boys beneficial rather
than harmful.
Size and weight are not de
termined by age, except in, infants
and very young children. Young peo
ple your age are patlcularly varia
ble, because some "get their growth"
earlier than others. '
Colors don't "fit." They some
times cause fits in the minds' of
sensitive people. Browns and tans
are pleasing as a rule, for auburn-
haired people. Dark blue, Shades of
green, and pastel shades are also
good, but reds, decided pinks and
purples should be avoided . by the
Titlan-halred. If a girl be the true
auburn type, with a very fair skin,
then white Is truly beautiful on her,
especially for evening wear.
Municipal suffrage has been
granted to women in eleven of the
chartered towns of Florida.
