When Bread
Is Short
By LORETjTO C. LYNCH.
"What shall I do? Here they
come, and not a bit of bread in the
house."
Ever said it yourself? Of course
the "they" referred to is the unex-
(ircted company that we are often
ry glad to see, tut sometimes at
tmr wits' ends to know how to
provide witji a meal at a moments
notice.
Even the woman who lives in the
city plentifully supplied with food
shops often has this problem to
solve. This is particularly true of
bread.
The housewife's salvation lies in
the quick bread. And quite often
the visitors will appreciate a pun
of piping hot tea biscuitor some
hot corn muffins or wheat muffins
much in preference to the best
baker's bread.
Prepared flour is a great con
venience. The housewife "may pre
pare it herself at home or she may
purchase it. To prepare it at home,
sift together several times four
measurtng cups of previously sifted
flour with eight level teaspoons
of baking powder and a level (tea
spoon of salt. This should be
stored away in a jar with a tight
fitting cover. Contact with the air
will lessen the : efficiency of the
baking powder.
Suppose you decide to make muf
fins. Urst, prease and flour the tins.
Into the mixing bowl put two level
cups of this prepared flour. Make
a well in the center. In this put
,a level tablespoon of sugar. Drop in
' a well-beaten egg. Then stir in
ry gradually enough milk to make
drop batter. Add two tablespoons
oil. Beat well. Fill the muffin tins
half full and bake in' a hot oven
about 20 minutes.
i The mixing of muffins 'in a well-
ordered kitchen should not take 10
f minutes., So. that within half an
.Joitr or so while your guests' are
sort of getting settled you will have
made your bread!
Tea biscuit, especially if you cut
them to shape, take a trifle Jonger.
Two cups of flour usually make
enough bread ,for four people, un
less they are particularly large
bread eaters. And so for tea bis
cuit use two cups of prepared flour.
With the tips of trre- fingers rub
V in two tablespoons of butter, lard
I oi Other fairly hard shortening.
1 With a knife cut in enough milk or
' water, or half milk and half water,
to make a soft dough. Toss on a
floured board. Pat to a rectangle
about one-half inch in thickness. Do
you really know an inch? So many
women don't. i
Dip the biscuit cutter or drinking
glass into flour' before cutting each
biscuit. Arrange on a greased plate.
Bake 12 to IS minutes in a hot oven.
While the preparing of tfie tea
biscuit takes a little longer, they do
not take so long to bake as do muf-
. fins: Some women make the dough
a little softer and drop it from a
spoon on to the greased plate. This
does way with cutting. ' With a lit
tle practice, one can acquire the
knack of dropping the biscuit quite
uniformly. Biscuit should be paint
ed over with milk before going k in
to the'oven if one desires a rich
brown effect.
Before- beginning any quick bread
ask, yourself, "Have' I all the in
gredients at hand? Are the tins
greased and floured? For how many
am I cooking? Will the oven be
ready when the bread is?" ' 1
Cornmeal miiffins offer a pleasant
change and are a good bread to
make should you be somewhat short
'on wheat flour and long on corn
meal. Put two cups of cornmeal in
a' bowl. Add one cup of plain wheat
flour, one-fourth, cup sugar, one-half
level teaspoon salt and six level
teaspoons of baking powder. Mix
well. Sifting is not necessary. Beat
("m enough milk to make a rather
loose tjrop fatter.
Add two tablespoons of melted
fat or oil. Bacon or ham fat is
sometimes used to give flavor to
cornmeal muffins. A beaten egg'
' may be stirred in it the end. It
can' be omitted, but the bread is'
improved if it is used.
B about 20 miiiutes in gem
pans, or bake in a shallow pan in
one foaf about the same, length of

This delicious maple-nut cake is
the delight of children and many
grown-ups as well. Take one-half
cup of butter and the peel of a lemon
chopped fine and work it to a creamy
consistency, then add one cupful of
sugar and work these together for
10 minutes. Gradually add to this
the well beaten yolkf of four eggs,
two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoon
f uls of baking powder, a pinch of
salt and half a cup of milk. Mix
these ingredients well together, and

walnuts. Beat until nearly cold.
Then spread on the cold cake.
Homemade
Candies
Campaign tea napkins have ap
peared. They are the smartest
things out in the way of paper table
cn. They will be. officially launch
ed, which means socially launched,
at a tea which Mrs. Robert Gray
Peck will give at her home in High
land, 111.
This tea party will also inaugurate
a series of republican "parlor meet
ing" of which Mrs. Laura Davton
Fessenden of Chicago, will be the
director. Mrs. Fessenden has been
appointed chairman of parlor meet
ings for the republican national com
mittee. This committee operates un
der the auspices of the women's di
vision Of the speakers' bureau.
Along with the campaign napkins,
prcperly decorated with flags and
pictures of Senator Harding and
Governor Coolidge, the guests will
rective republican literature and
campaign buttons, while G, O. P.
elephant charms, stick pins and
campaign tongs compiled by repub
lican women of Minneapolis will be
on sale. Members of the republic
an national executive committee will
be the guests.
Mrs. (Fessenden, who will be re
sponsible for a series of such parties
from New York to San Francisco, is
an ardent republican. She was the
first woman to cast a vote in High
land Park, 111. She comes from a
long line of republican ancestors on
both aides of her family. In ad
dition to being a member of the Chi
cago Woman's club, a charter mem
ber of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, the Colonial Dames
of America, the Antiquarian society
and the rounders and Patriots soci-
v, is an author of note. She has
written several books and a number
of magazine articles and published
cantatas for children
AVomen have always had power
and influence," Mrs. Fessenden says.
"But their use has been restricted.
Now that this tremendous force has
been released by the granting of the
franchise in nearly all states, women

t . '
s Almond Toffee.
Four ounces butter, one pound
granulated sugar, half pound
blanched almonds.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and
add the sugar. Boil to the "soft
ball" stage, add the blanched al
monds and continue boiling until
the sugar will snap when tested.
Pour into a' buttered shallow tin. To
test, drop a little of the mixture into
a cup of cold water.
, Chocolate Caramels.
This recipe,i though somewhat on
the order of fudge, is considerably
richer, and, to the writer's way of
thinking, ' much- better than that
much vaunted candy. It is made
from four cups of sugar, two cups
of chocolate," one cup of sweet milk,
a half cup of butter and vanilla fla
voring. Put butter, sugar and milk
together and let them, meMt. Then
a'dd the chocolate and let all boil for
about 10 minutes or until it will form
a very soft lump in water. Remove
with a wooden spoon or paddle until
it thickens! and can just be poured
into, the greased pans. When cold,
maf'k off and cut into two good
sized cubes. This recipe will make
two good sized cake pans full.
Butter Scotch.
One pound sugar (best brown),
half pint water, pinch of cream of
tartar, two ounces butter.
Heat the sugar, water and cream
of tartar slowly. Stiruntil the
sugar dissolves, always remember
ing not Jto allow the sugar to boil
until 'quite dissolved, and not to stir
until after it boils. Allow the mix
ture to boil until a golden brown
color, then add the butter and stir
until it is melted and mixed. Turn
it out on a buttered tin and allow to'
cool.
Russian Toffee.
To make proper Russian toffee,
thick sour cream should be used,
but condensed milk will answer the
purpose admirably. Add half pint
of sour cream to one pound sugar
and boil together until the mixture
thickens. Add one teaspoon vanilla
essence and one tablespoon of
shjrry. Boil again until the mixture
leaves the sides of the pan clean.
Turn into an oiled tin and cut in
squares when set.
( Sultana Caramels.
Two cups sugar, half cup milk,
quarter cup molasses, quarter cup
butter, two squares chocolate, one
teaspoon vanilla, half ' cup English
walnut meats cut in pieces, two
tablespoons sultana raisins. Put
butter into a saucepan; when melted
add sugaf, milk and molasses. Heat
to boiling point and boil seven min
utes. Add Chocolate and stir until
chocolate is melted; then boil seven
minutes Jonger. Remove from fire,
beat until creamy, add nuts, raisins
and vanilla and pour at once into a
buttered tin. Cool slightly and
mark into squares. I Nut meats and
raisins may be omitted.
Food Hints
-How to Make Tea.
An unglazed earthenware pot is
probably best. Fill it with hot wa
ter and let it stand while fresh wa
ter is boiled for the tea. Allow for
the pot one teaspoon of tea and one
teaspoon for each cup made besides.
The most sanitary tea is made by
pouring a little boiling water over
the dry tea and pouring it off in
stantly, then adding the amount re
quired. Let stand about five min
utes or until drawn and pour all the
tea from the grounds into another
hot pot if a second cup per person
is to be served, i
This makes an innocent drink
which, because of its heat, will check
a headache brought on by the day's
fatigue. It undoubtedly quickens
the circulation of the blood, or in
some way affects h advantageous
ly. There are other ways, but this
is good. Mind, newly boiled wa
ter, hot pot, short time for drawing.
Custard Sauce.
Many delicious dishes, such as
"trifle," were formerly made with
cake, fruit and a custard sauce. A
custard sauce frozen makes a good
ice cream, if it was a good sauce. It
may also be combined with its meas
ure of cream and frozen.
A fine heavy sauce may be madt;
as follows: Scald two cups of milk.
Beat three egg yolks with a half a
cup of sugar until the mixture will
fall in ribbons when the spoon is
lifted., Pour the hot milk over this
slowly, stirring all the time, put
over fire and cook until the mix
ture coats the spoon, and not a min
ute loneer. Take from fire and flav
or with vanilla. Serve Over fruit,
eat plain, freeze, etc.

Gowns Fall From
Shoulders
Due "perhaps to the caprice of
Dame Fashion, for the nonce, hy
giene and style are walking hand in
hand. Most modish garments are
designed so that their weight falls
from the shoulders and not from the
waistline.
Silk scarfs for evenings are attrac
tively beaded in oriental designs.
'Sleeveless velveteen jackets are re

Stenciled "Hankies"
Handkerchiefs In stenciled effects
are being shown in greater variety
than ever. These small handker
chiefs are done in large patterns and
gay colors, and yet are nqt vulgar
or commonplace. The latest designs
show a dark background.

Washable kid gloves are best
cleaned on the hands by washing
them in lukewarm suds. Tey must

Be Sure to Get a
Fit When You
Buy a Hat '
Don't overlook the importance of
having it fit when you go to buy
a hat.
One of the worst things that a
hat can do is to be so tight that
it presses on your head. It is pretty
sure to produce a headache and
quite as sure to make you ieel ir
ritable. - Usually if vour head is
of normal size, a hat that Jits too
snugly can be altered simply in the
milliner's vvoikrcom to fit you. It
is quite as great an error to buy a
bat that is too large. Though this
may not feel so uncomfortable, a
hat that is too large never looks
right and there i3 no way of making,
it look-right. . '
So first comes fit, land then comes
color. L'nless yoift can afford mo
have a separate h;u for everv street
frock in your wardrobe, yon must
give the question of tlie color of
the hat rather serious consideration:
It is easier to 'select a hat to go
well with vour frocks and suits than
to get the suits and frocks to go
with the hat. Even if you have not
actually secured your autdiiri ward
robe you should tit least have in
mind what colors you intend to use
before selecting the hat.
Of course the black ha! is almost
always a safe investment. It can be
worn well with any color and is
very generally becoming. It has a
.--I? y "-f njiil!F-J!;iI13-rJ.!iyjlf'l-i J1at
of the same shayc and trimming in
another ccJor niiijht look just the
reverse.
lBrown hati of the warmer hues,
sqiccted for many autumn ha'i this
year, arc also .'cry generally be
coming. It is a fact that a small
brown hat that fits closely is more
generally becoming than a large
brown hat.
