. t r of the loaf is light and slightly
: 1 oist: that the bread should have

i palatable, nutty flavor, pleasing

. crust of the baked loaf should be
1 elastic, evenly shaped and of a uni
form golden-brown color.
To insure uniform results, use ac
curate measurements and sift the
flour. Have the liquid at the proper
temperature tind keep in mind that
more yeast will be required in cold
weather unless the room where the
is rising can be kept at an even
pnpernture. Compressed, liquid ,

A recipe for it good, genuine fruit
cake that comes within the law of
the average pockcthook will ho one
of the features of Mrs. Wilson's
article on thlstpage tomorrow.
Among others there will also be
recipes forLanctstcrshlre plum pud

delicious fruit cake. This is the
first of Christmas cookery articles
that will continue to appear ut fre
quent intervals until the Rreat day

about any of the recipes contained
in the articles, Mrs. Wilson will be

breads. Wheat bran is used in mnk
ing bran breads; this provides the
necessary bulk and stimulates the
digestive tract.
Graham and whole wheat flours
contain the germ and frequently,
unless purchased in small quanti
ties and carefully stored, will spoil, i
Bran, on the other hand, will, if
properly stored, keep indefinitely,
and will be found to be an excel-
lent substitute. Rolled oats may
also be used.
When baking a one quart mix,
that is, using one quart of liquid,
try making two plain loaves, ono
nut loaf, one raisin loaf, one pan of
rolls and one pan of cinnamon buns,
Wrap the plain loaves in wax
paper and store in the bread box.
Use the rolls first: the cinnamon
buns will keep for two days and
will bo equally nice if, when cool,

been lined with wax paper. Place
a piece of cut apple in the end of
the box; it will prevent the buns
from drying out.
The bread should be at least two
days old before using.
California Orange Bread
Grate the rind of two oranges and
then place in a bowl and add
One cup of orange juice, warmed
to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Two tablepaoonfuls of melted
shortening.
Four tablespoon uls of sugar.
One and a half teaspoonfnls of
salt.
One egg.
Beat to mix and then dissolve one
yeast cake in one cup of water 80 1
degrees Fahrenheit, and add to the
above mixture; then work' in suftl-
cient flour to make a smooth elastic
dough, usually about seven to eight
cups. Place in a greased bowl and
turn the dough to thoroughly coat
with grease. Cover and let rise for
three hours. Pull the comers of the
dough to the center and punch down,
if the altogether unbelievable nineteen
months our boys have Just been
through Is going to bring nbout a re
versal of this. I wonder lf some of
our boys will bring back with them
an ideal of another sort of girl. And
If bringing back that ideal they will
not almost subsconclously search it
out here back In the old home town.
Perhaps some of our soldiers or
sailors who have been in France will
write nnd tell us Just how the Amer
ican girl ranks with the French demoi
selle and If they have come back to
us with new Idead in their mind of
what a girl can and ought to be.

Six Months
When he got a bed to sleep In for the
first time In six months, Corporal John
F. O'Donnell, Company K. 112th In

or the foot.
He told this story on himself in u

North Sixty-fourth street. He was at
Art-les-Barus on k furlough of ten
days at the time. This Is a rest place
for American soldiers and the Bound of
guns at the front cannot be heard there.
With his letter he enclosed a picture of
himself and a pal, Claire C. Miller, of
York, Pa.

he said: "Wo had quite a big time

This bread is delicious for sand
wiches. Undoubtedly one of the
causes of the failure in making
breads at home is that the process
is hurried and the bread is insufli-
ciently baked. The size and shape ,
of the pans affect the quality of thej
bread. Avoid too deep or shal-j
low pans. A pan, 7Ms by 4U inches,!
will give the best results.
Turn the bread on a wire cake

STOPPI3D Involuntarily before the
lovely umbrellas. My first thought
was that I would examine them and
then describe them to you In case you
m'ght like to put one on your Christmas
list. My second thought was that they
surely would be too expensive. Made of
union taffeta, they are adorned with
sampiu handles, and you should see
them. Light wooden handles with wrist
straps, straight handles of white with
edgee and tops of green, and green cords :
dark blue or green hand'es with round
bracelet, which slips on the wrist. "Yes,"
you say in a tired, discouraged voice,
"and they probably cost 8 or $10."
And "No," I answer you brightly, "their
price Is but $3.75." A real bargain!
I sound the last warning note of the

How to Make Small Talk
Dear Cynthia l'lease tell me how to talk
"small talk." Whenever I go anwvherc.
especially to dances. I never know what to
sav to peon e I am not well ncnualnted with,
nnd I nm afraid I gtvo the Impression of bo
Ing dull. 1 rend quite a little, go to the
moles. etc.. but I don't seem to bo able to
say those little pleAsant remarks that make
nno agreenble and sociable. I may add that
I am a young woman of twenty-one.
A CONSTANT READER.
Make it a point to try and center the
Hninll talk around the pereon with whom
you arc speaking. For Instance you might
make remarks like these, "do you Ilki
the dance?" "Have you always lived In
Philadelphia?" Where did you go to
rchool?" etc. Anv one of these remark?
Is a good leader for a light friendly con
versation. Now In spite of the fact that
many Joke about the weather as a topic
of conversation It Is Indeed n very ""od
beginning for conversation for everyone
is Intir- sted In the weather. Just smile
when you say, "hasn't It bpen a wonder
ful day. It was Just the sort of a day
that made you want to t".ke n long walk.
Don't you love to walk?" Don't make
the mistake of trying to be brilliant.

Allowance for Housekeeping
Dear Cynthia Please ndvfse me a fair
-w imt for tabe allowance If a man makes
112,000 a enr. There Is a wife nnd six
ehlldrin. Also what should bo spent for
clothing the wife and children, and how
much help wou'd le required to keen every
thing spick and span. ANXIOUS.
You ask a rather difficult question
In that you do not atnte If you enter
tain a great denl. live In the city or
suburbs and lf In tho suburbs, Just what
suburbs; If you Itpep a car and how
Irrgo your house Is. All these, things
make a difference. For Instance some
houses can be kept In perfect order by
two maids, whereas It might be neces
sary to have three In another. When
'neomes reach $12,000 there ought not
to be any difficulty In making things
go properly and In saving at the same
time, ,
Ordinarily a good tr.blo for the num- ,
her vou mention, with ordinary careful
planning, could be run for $125 to $150
n mouth, or $1800 a year. With tho
high cost of clothes a woman should bo
able to dress well on $800 a yenr. and
six children, you do not give their ages,
could be clothed enrnfortably and
prettily with about $1200.
The budget Idee Is rather Inadequate
for people who have $12,000 a year. Most
men would want to save as much aa
possible, then there aro rent, Insurance,
doctor's bills, education of the children,
all these things to be considered. If It
Is nn Income from nn cstnte It would bo
all right to live up to It all, but if it Is
your husband's only lncotna nnd do
pendent upon his herltli, he would do
well not to spend It nil, but to rave a
good amount to take caro of the future.
