TN THE days of long ago yeast,
ammonia, pearl ash, honey water
mid a treacle mixture were used to
lighten cakes before tho time of
dependable baking powder.
Ill Europe tho housewife makes
from bread dough delicious cakes with
yeast. These provide splendid va

Tho addition of nuts, cake crumbs
and fruit will afford n large variety.
Aj&ongc dough is necessary for

ency and methods, without doubt
these cakes figure largely in French
cuisines.
One French bakery picpares tho
brioche in loaf form and when cold
it is cut in slices and steeped in
orange sirup. Then again the
brioche is spread with jam and then
covered with icing or the brioche
may be steeped in prepared cordials
and then dipped in n batter and
fried golden brown in hot fat.
Spread with jam and serve with
orange or lemon sauce.
The actual preparation of the
brioche involves very little trouble
and can be made from bread dough
on baking day. Now one point in
making these sweet breads; there is
just the same trick as in molding
the loaf of bread. One can learn by
careful attention to details and with
practice. Some stress may well be
laid upon the lightness of the dough;
for heavy, overrich dough that is
poorly baked is injurious to health.
To Make Brioche
When the bread is ready to put
in the pan cut off one pound nnd
place the dougli in a bowl. Now
cream three ounces shortening, four
ounces of sugar until very light',
add one-half cupful milk and five
eggs. Beat until light and creamy,
adding about one pound flour. Now

My Dear Mrs. Wilson I am
reading in tho Evening Public
LEncER, and I see in the making
of bread and rolls that you punch
tho dough down several times.
Will you kindly tell me what ad
vantage there is in doing this;
also m making the Norwegian
springerli, do you use the granu
lated sugar? Have tried your
fruit paste and used the corn
starch for dipping. Thank you.
Mrs. W. B.
MRS. W. B Tho dough is
punched down several times to de
velop a strong and healthy fermen
tation. This gives to the bread a
full nutty flavor of the wheat.
Either granulated sugar or the pul
verized may be used in the making
of tho springerli. It will require
just a little longer to cream the
granulated sugar and the crc.

Ruth found herself actually assuring
Hetty that thej- would cotnc down soon,
Sho had no Idea of liettv s place, nor
anj thing much about her life, hut some
how she found it difficult to disapprove
of Hettj' tonight She seemed so en
gagingly frank nnd Interested, nnd then
sho was modest about herself, and Oeno
had told them that sho belonged to a
company of players, who were really
doing things and that Hetty herself had
Mtilte a leading part In most of the plajs
that wero put on. 1'uth privately in
tended to go down and seo a perform
ance sometime soon. Sho was curious to
know just what Hettj' could do In her
heart too, there was a vague feeling
of unrest that she could not understand
It had to do with Hetty. Hetty was do
ing things, she was busy. She looked
on life differently; she believed In wom
en working, even after thej- wero mar
ried Hitherto, Uuth had read ubout
women who did that, hut she bad never
come Into iiersonal contact with one
Hettj' seemed to know so many women
who were manled and who worked She
had said tonight that she believed that
i most of tho marriages of that kind were
'far happier.
Alice bad laughed aloud at this "You
advocate women working then?" she
asked,
'Indeed I do; marriage ought not to
makn anj difference. And 1 bellevo
that tills war Is going to mean every
thing for women workers He'ore It

nm convinced that you would b

also I nm convinced that If a hus

quarrel each In a private diary, tha
two accounts would by no means coin,
clde, nnd the whole truth would be Ire,
neither of them. Some people start
a diary ns casually ns they start golf,

Whereas to start a diary ought to b

Itutli flushed hotly, that remark
seemed to hit her hard.
"What about the babies?" Alice asked

"Jli, yes, but children shouldn't take

Scott nodded.
"Why Pcoltl" Interjected rtuth, sur
prised "You never told me anything
about It "
"We never happened to get talking o
tho subject before," s'cott returned.
"Well," cploded Alice when Ruth and
f-'cott turned back to the living room. '
"I II wager that girl hasn't many morals.
Did jou ever bear any ono tauc such
nonsense in jour life? Such talk as "
that Is what hurts marriage. No won

out these new theories when there are)
women llko that to encourage them.
With such Ideas no nlfo could feel hsfw
self safe "
Ttuth was silent. It was Bert who
spoke in answer to what Alice had said.
"Vou believe in simply the legality o
the thing then, don't j-ou, and that
a woman needn't try to hold her hug- "
band after marriage."
Of course I do, what else Bhould I

have some assurance that her husband
will look out for her. That's what mar
