How to Make
Good Pies
( By LORETTO C LYNCH,
Aa Expert a AU Matter Pertaining te
Household Maaafcment.
Cain you make a cherry pie? Who
is to old as not to appreciate a
cherry pie? A veryIelightful Eng
lishman, who was traveling with his
family or- an American liner, had
been telling me why the complex-
ions of his countrywomen were
quite superior to American com
plexions. He said they never drank
' ice water nor did they eat that
abomination,' pie. Now, he had
never seen a really truly pie. And,
as luck Would have it, the first pie
served him was a delicious cherry
pre with flaky crust and oodles of
juicy cnerries. ;
It is sufficient to say that this
gentleman and he was a gentle
man and his daughters forgot ab
solutely about complexions and for
ever after became devotees of pie.
To make a pie from any of the
fresh fruits or berries of summer,
-' it is necessary t, know how to make
a good pie -crust. The making of
puff paste, such as is made by tht
best French chefs, is beyond the
ability and the purse of the average
housewife. But ..any woman who
follows directions can make a good,
plain pie crust without much trou
ble or too great an expense.
Remember, however, that same
thing worth while cannot be made
out f nothing. And you must de
cide right in the beginning that you
can afford to use the materials re
quired to make a good pie crust,
else you should not attempt to make
it at all.
, I here is for sale at the market
hat is known as a pastry flour. I
do not mean the prepared flours con
taining bakinar DOwder. I refer in
a flour manufactured from a wheaf
that is planted in the fall, stavs in
the ground all winter and is har
v vested in the spring. 1 '
This variety of wheat requires less
moisture than the, familiar bread
flour. Riifter

to piecrust than does other shorten
ings, but butter does not make so
tender a piecrust as does lard or any
of the delightful vegetable shorten
ings on the market. f
m To get both flavor and tenderness
in pastry, use half butter and half
tit sonic oiner snoriening. 10 make
' enough pastry for two medium-sized
pies, sift together one-half level tea-
spoonful of salt and two level
J measuring cups (half-pint size), and
into" this trhop ftwo-thirs of a
measuring run n( chnrtunmr, T.,
knives may be used to chop in the
shortening or a double-edged chop
ping knife may be used in a wooden
bowl. . .
When the shortening is well
chcDDed in. wet'tn a nasto with if
water. Thoroughly chill in the re
, frigerator for at least IS minutes.
' Toss on a floured, hoard and lightly
roll to the desired shape. Fit to
the pi4 plate. Put in a generous
-ruantity of cherries or any of the
other desirable fruits or berries.
Sprinkle well with sugar and then
dredge with flour. The flour helps
to thicken up the juice as if begins
to flow in the process of cooking.
Cornstarch may be used in place of
flour for the dredging. -
If there is to be a top crust wet
the edge of the lower crus't with cold
water. Roll the top crust. Cut a
r t t-i - !i . i r t
icw laiicy noies in u wun iorK or
knife to allow the steam to escape.
Adjust the top crust to the bottom,
pressing together with a fork. Un
less the lower crust has been moist
ened with"water the crusts will not
stay together. .
' Just before putting the pie' into
a hot oven, paint it over with the
yolk of an egg beaten with a table
spoon or so of milk or water. This
will, give the crust a high shine and
a beautiful golden brown color. -
Tarts may' be made of the same
pastry. The housewife may make
tarts by baking them on the dutside
of an inverted muffin pan. WJien
done, the tarts may be carefully re
moved with a cloth. They , will be
' hollow sliells. A way offilling them
popular in California, where the pas
try shops are irresistible, is by put
ting fresh fruit into them and then
pouring a hot, sweet syrup over the
f refit.
The syrup is made by mixing to
gether half a measuring cup of su
gar and two level tablespoons of
cornstarch.. To this is added a little
of the fruit to give color and flavor
and two measuring cups of cold wa
ter. The mixture is boiled for sev
eral minutes, durig which time it
is constantly stirred. Strain before
pouring over the fresh fruit. .More
than half a cup of sugar may be
used if a very sweet product is de-
; sired.
A. Gingerbread. ' , v
A so-called boiling chicken is fat.
i Save and try out the fat and use it
in making gingerbread by the fol
lowing recipe: Mix together one-
, half cup of cornsirup, oirefourth
cup of molasses (you may "use more
molasses 'and leSefcorn sirup), one-
-third cup of chicken fat or more jf
you have it, 'one-half cup of hot wa
ter, Sift and fold and stir into this
f two cups of flour which have been
sifted with"' onehalf teaspoon of
soda, two teaspoons of cinnamon,
one teaspoon 'of ginger, and one
teaspoon or a little more of salt.
Beat two eggs and fold in at the
last. Dust the pan -with flour and
bake in a sheet. Serve with whipped
.' cream over each square. A few
chopped raisins, about half a cup,
will improve this cake.

Three questions a day for the
housewife.
" 1. Which of our nuts is really
not a nut?
- 2. How to make Saratoga
chips? , ,
r'3. How to pasteurize milk for
drinking when there is danger
that it is impure?
(These questions will be an
swered this week by the" house
wife.) Answers to ' Friday's Questions.
1. Green tea is more stimulat
ing than bjack tea because the
fermenting process through
which black tea must go, de
stroys much of the original thein
and tannin.
2. .To poach an egg, break it
into a saucer and slip into pan
half filled with slightly, salted
water that has been boiled. While
the egg is cooking tb- water
should be .kept below boiling

to install in a house is one of the
automatic type so fitted as to work
in connect(on with a 30 to 40-gallon
storage tank. This will turn off and
on as the temperature of the water in
that tank changes and will furnish
a good supply of hot water at all
times. If you have no gas, either
a hard coal heater or one fuming
kerosene will fill your requirements.
There are excellent ones of both
types on the market. .
Next Week's Questions.
1. Is it necessary to install both
a soft arid hard water system?
2. If there is no gas available, how
can arrangements be made to use
the gas range for cooking?
3. " Are extra windows for winter
desirable?
4. Should radiators be concealed
and what are objections, if any? If
not concealed, should radiator hoods
be used? "
5. Would a breakfast alcove, or
breakfast room be of any advantage?
6, What is the best way to venti
late a kitchen?
- 1 Should a house have a .fireplace
fo. wood or coal or a gas grate?
8. What is to be cmsidred and
avoided in-choosing aJlpaper? ,
9. Shall the house be constructed
close in where land is high in price,
or farther out where land is cheap?
10. What is" the proper way to in
stall a hot air furnace for-maximum
efficiency?

Potatoes in Skins. -
The real potato lover always pre
fers potatoes boiled in the jackets,
because in that way the potato flavor
is preserved. In all vegetables the
minerals lie close under the skin
and in paring a pertain amount of
the minerals are' lost. A xarefully
boiled potato it quite equal to a
baked potato.
New York, (Special Correspond
ence.) The problem of housing the
throat and chin seems to have been
fairly well settled. Lofty collars
are found - on every, type of gar
ment and if wf don't take them'p
it will be for one of two reasons:
Either we think too little of styles
or too much of the architecture of
our throats.
Along with -he building of the
collar have come many sleeve an
nexes. No longer is goose flesh the
only covering permitttd the elbow.
Many of the smartest new models
show the long sleeve. ' .
Above we illustrate the new
strides in dress engineering in con
nection with a very interesting de
velopment of 1 black satin. The

sash, the buttons, and the touches
on sleeves and collars. And, by

Answers to Questions.
1 1. To get the best oak floors,
specify full length boards without
knots. Then . specify that. short
lengths are not to be used except
to fill in where absolutely necessary.
Borders are no longer used in-the
up-to-date homes. ;
2. Window and door sills of a
bride house should be of stone, be
cause brick sills are rough and dif
ficult to keep dean. Besides, stone
sills add to the exterior appearance.
3. A joint driveway isnof de
sirable for the reason '.that one
never knows when the ther person
is going to sell his home to some
one who may not be congenial. Be
sides there always is likelihood of
the question arising of who shall
clean the drive or shovel the snow.
4. Evary house should be wired
for electricity while being construct
ed whether electricity is to be used
immediately or not. It is cheaper
to wire at that time. ,
5. For the larger' houSW tile
roofing is most favored.' For 'others
well-creosoted shingles of proper
tint ei've the best appearance with
the plain house, such as the colonial.'
. aai "r
blate is recommended lor long me
and several of the manufactured
roofings a,re excellent, some of them
resembling shingles buMasting much
longer. ,
6. An outside chimney adds to the
appearance of any house' if it is
properly located. It is safer from
fire hazard than an inside built
chimney. Especially is this sc with
the chimney carrying -Xke : fireplace
flue. I ' '
: 7. Tol be certai of title to a lotj
never buy unless you get an abstract
of title or a title guarantee insur
ance policy. A Torrenized title is
one of the safest. '
8. A land contract is an agree
ment between buyer and seller Cjf a'
lot by which the seller binds him
self to deliver a sood title by deed
to the buyer when ,tffe latter has
complied '.with certain payment
terms. A deed is all instrument for
mally conveying title to 'land. Hi a
quit claim deed the grantor merely
surrenders whatever title he may
have: in a warranty deed he binds
himself 1o' "warrant and defend" the
title to the buyer against all -comers.

i. In buying the lot ascertain
whether the depth given you is mea
sured from the middle of the street
or from .the lot line there's a great
difference in what you get. Make
sure from public maps or those of
public utility corporations that, the
lot has sewer, water and gas con
nections or Whatever else it is rep
resented that you are to get. Do
not take the mere word of the sales
man, or even of the owner. It is

Collars for Menfolk
Laundered into Style
Yes, a man's just as particular about a
little kink in his collar a a woman is about
the shade of her hat. ,
. - And we make it our business to please
particular men. We follow instructions '
when we launder collars.
We starch men's collars' evenly, work
te starch in thoroughly when a collar is
ironed it comes out smooth, without starch .
blisters, pliable, but with a firm body.
Then there's the knaclf of folding collars -trjmly
and yet leaving space for the tie to

of the collar to be considered distinctive

These are little details,; to be sure but
it's just such painstaking attention to de

satisfaction.
