Ml rleMs ttamiil.l ,
rpHERE is a species of cakes that
come between the shortcakes and
the regular cakes. These are called
cookies, jumbles, wafers and snaps.
The housewife frequently encoun- j
ters much difficulty and oftcntimecs
failure In making this variety of
sweet dough. This is duo entirely )
to her methods of mixing and i
handling the mixture. First of all, (
she must realize that cacli variety ,
of food has its own recognized ,
method of preparation.
In making sponge cakes there is
a special way of handling the mix-
turo to insure results, nnd so with
the semi-full pound, bride and wed-
ding cake. So, too, these delicious,
delicate morsels of goodness must
bo put together in such a manner ;
that failure will be impossible if
tho recipes are followed closely.
The three recognized methods of
mixing these doughs arc: First,
Rllfrnr nnrl flnnr nro mivwl fntrntVior I
and then sifted before starting thc
mixing process. Second, tho sugar
and shortening arc creamed. Third,
thc sirup and shortening arc boiled
to make a hard, snappy cookie.
Considerable care is necessary for
good results. First, the pans must'
be scmpulously.clean. Second, bak-
mg sheets hating one-quarter inch
turn should bo used in preference
to tho other style pans. Failing j
these, turn the ordinary baking pan )
upside down and prepare as di-1
rected, and then place the cookies
in position and bake. The reason
for this i3 that these little cakes
must be baked in a quick, even heat. '
Now, where the pan has sides of one
or two inches or higher the heat
deflects, causing the cookies to bake
unevenly. For example, the burnt
ones are near the edge of the pan. ,
Two methods arc used for prepar- I
ing tne pans: Urst, grease and rinse
under cold water for hard cakes. 1
Second, grease and flour for soft '
cakes. t
Materials and Oven '
It is poor economy to use any
thing but the best materials. Good
spices, the best of flavoring and a
high-grade sirup arc necessary for
good results. A moderately hot
oven is also necessary. These cakes
must be baked a pale yellow. Thc
usual time takc3 from eight to ten
minutes. A dry cookie, unless it is
a snap, is tasteless.
A Trade Secret
For nice well-flavored cookies the
dough should be nt least twenty-
four hours old. This gives it time
10 menu, anu wnen bakVd thc cookies
will have n nice appearance. This
, - i
dough, once mixed, should be placed
in a cool placj, where there will be
no cnanco ot its freezing.
Bakers have a stock dough from
which many varieties may be made.

My dear Mrs. Wilson Cnn vnn
tell me how to make apple jolly
from tho hkins and cores? My
mother had a cook who used to
boil the skins and cores up with
a little sugar and mako jelly. She
did this every time we had apples,
and the first thing vo knew we
had several glasses of jelly. I
can't find tho proportions in any
book nnd I can elistinctly remem
ber that sho always measured tho
parings in a cup. Also, can you
tell me what to do with the drip
pings from a leg of lamb? All
that fat must be good for some
thing and I have found, to my
horror, that it will not fry.

is careful to explain

or four different kinds of cookies.

place the third part of the dough

finely chopped peanuts. Blend well
and then mold into balls the sizo of
a walnut, then flatten between the
palms of tho hands. Place on a
baking sheet prepared as given in
the second method of tho prepared
pans and bake for eight minutes.,
Dates, raisins, figs and prunes may
be used in the same manner.

The method of rolling thc cookie
doughs on oilcloths prevents them
from sticking as they do on a floured
board. The addition of the extra
flour in rolling the cakes makes
them tough and hard. The method
of forming the dough into balls and
flattening them with tho palm of
one hand and tlio heel of tho other
hand eliminates the rolling entirely.
To have soft, moist cookies, cool
them after removing from thc oven
and then pack in a crock or jar and
cover for ono hour with a cloth
wrung fiom hot water, then close
tho container.
Cook slowly until the liquid is re
duced to two cupfuls and then .strain
and let cool. Remove the fat anil

One cupful of flour, ono cupful of

quarters of a cupful of minced
ham ami one-eighth teaspoonful of

riiey are very nice except for two
things, one is they do not get quite

what pastry jagger is? I have
read the word in a pastry recipe,
but do not know what it is or how
to use it. When a recipe says fry
in deep fat, such as doughnuts,
croquettes, fritters, etc., does this
mean deep enough to completely
coyer thrm? Thank you for this
Information very much. J. II.
.1. II. Try adding
One teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce,
Onu-qunrtcr teaspoonful of mus
tard, Onc-half teaspoonful of salt,
One-half teaspoonful of pepper
to the puffs.

To overcomo the raw center, do
and cook them a little longer; or, in
other words, your fat is too hot to
allow the heat to reach the center
of tho dough. A pastry jagger is
a wheel-like instrument with n han
dle and is used for cutting pastry.
In the days of open fires in the
kitchen it was then known as a
gouffering iron. To poach or fry in
deep fat requires sufficient fat in the
pan so that the articles to bo cooked
may swim or float at least three
inches from the bottom of the pan;
in tho case of cutlets, croquettes,
etc., thc fat must be sufficiently deep
enough to cover the article,

The daughter could mako no claim
on this monoy upon her father's death.
Tho mother could best protect her
rights, In the event thnt shn might tie
flrsr, by making a will. If sho died
without leaving a will, her husband
would have somo clnlm on her money,
and In this way it might Indirectly
reach tho daughter.

LjETTEII from a mother of a six
teen. year-old daughter Introduces
a matter vitally Interesting to many
mothers and even moro SO to daugh-
.VI o.
DaughtA-, It seems, Is running away
with father's pockotbook so far an
clothes aro concerned. Sho Is Just at
that ago when It Is necessary for her
to keep paco with the other girls, in
her class In school. Daughter claims
a monthly allowance 'will scttlo tho
matter for her. Mother docs not Just
sco how this Is possible, for the allow
anco her daughter asks avorages less
per month than tho amount of money
being yearly spent on her clothes now.
My opinio!) Is asked on the matter of
allowances for young girls. Do I
bcllevo In them? I
YES, frankly speaking, I am a
strong advocate; of allowances for
girls, and, paradoxical as It may seem
a girl Is able to dress better on the
allowance that averages less per
month when It Is In her. own linnds
than that yearly lump sum to which
fathers' bills total with tho paying
of them out of her supervision.
Here Is the secret of It: When a irlrl
Is dressing on her own allowance sho
I anenrls her mnnev enrpfnlk- Vm vii...

else's money nnd. another to bo open
ing your pockotbook to fish out your
own dollars.
This does not mean to' say knowledge
of flnanco comes all at once for In
stance; the day after father calls Ills
daughter into tho living room mm
J hands her "the first installment."
I Onco upon a time, t remember, there
i was tho little miss of fifteen wlio un
allotted $10 a month as her share ot
the world's goods. The second day
sho came Into power there arrive

I one pair of corsets. $S.

tears afterward. It's no fun living on
nothing but kindly family rldlculo for
a whole month. But let. mo tell you
when tho next month's allowanco camo
along thero was some long, long think.
Ing and somo careful planning before,
tho $40 went tho way of all things
spent. ,
8ome fathers put their daughters on
yearly, rather than monthly allow
ances. TIiIh Is a good plan if a girl
Is tried out for a year or so on
monthly Installments. This will train
her to know Just how far money goes
and there will bo no rash lump expen
ditures at tho start.
THE quarterly allowanco Is, perhaps,
eventually tho wisest plan of all
for the young girl In her teens who
has been schoolod a while "by tho
month." Having this much money
and guided by n careful check book
gives a girl a sense of responsibility
which perhaps nothing else can. It In
stills Into her mind tho value of
money. There Is really, mother, no
better way to teach her.
A Smart Combination
Drown and turquoise form ono of the
newest smart color combinations. Brown
Is coming In for many Interesting treat
ments this year, but perhaps It never
looks fresher and crlsper than' when
combined w'th bright blue. Of course,
only nn expert In color combination
could choose Just the shades ot brown
and bluo that look well together.
