'Shows Just How Many Good Recipes Turn Out Poorly
' Because Women Refuse to Be Accurate in
z Their. Level Spoonfuls
Ii
By MRS. M. A. WILSON
Copyright. 1310, lu Mrs. .'. -t. Wilson ,
AH Rights Rtstrveil
ANY women nro familiar with
M
the importance of accurate
measurements in preparing foods.
Others frequently complain of the
rouble they have with their recipes;
but what they actually need to know
is that we no longer live in the days
of twenty-five cents per dozen fresh
ceca and that the day of thirty cents
per' pound for creamery butter of
excellent quality is past,
Gone are tho days of plenty, when ,
the extravagant cook was tho best
cook. Banish all recipes that call
for cupfuls of butter.
From motives of real practical
economy, we now use level measure
ments; that means that you first
gift your flour into a bowl and then
.fill iiVi nnrl rhnii level the ton of
the measure with a knife. Level I
measurement means all that which
lies below the edge of a cup or
spoon. 1
The experienced cook with an eye
for measurements can gauge the
amounts, very frequently, to a i
nicety. While she may sometimes
have a failure, she will never at- s
tribute it to her measure or the , 2
method of compounding the in-,
gradients; oftentimes she will blame
the flour, the baking powder or even
the oven.
One woman wrote me that she
WMclieil n Itnnw wW. tho trnuhle
was with her cakes. I asked her to
give me the recipe and she answered
that she generally used a bowl for1
measuring and thSt then she used
sugar, eggs, butter, "flour and enough
milk or water to make a batter
there were no real, definite amounts.
When I replied, I told her that it
was the measurements and methods
linf chn lisoiJ rlint frRnnnntlv rnnspil
-.. o.. .- . ..n .. j
it failure. Bufshe was sure that
was not the case, for her cake wns
usually good, and it was onlyonce
In a while that she had a failure.
So I had quite a time convincing her
that accurate measurements will
always give the same results and
assured success, and that she could
hake the same cake 365 days in the
year and not once have a failure.
Today this woman would not re
turn to the old way of doing her
cooking, and recently I had a little
npte from her telling me to let the
other middle-aged and young house
keepers, too, know how necessary it
Is to be accurate.
You know it only takes a few min
utes longer to measure accurately,
and then you are able to make that
delicious cake without a failure. No
failures, no waste. Truly, the words
of "trusting to luck" should be taboo
In the efficient woman's kitchen.
The temptation to add Just a little
more sugar, flour or shortening to n
recipe with the idea of improving it
must be eliminated if you wish to
cook successfully. When using
Tegetable oil in place of butter in
making cakes cut down the quantity
of fat fully one-third. Many cake
recipes contain too much fat.
When the amounts are less than
bne, cupful, frequently it is easier to
measure with a spoon. Remember
nil measures are level:
Sixteen tablespoonfuls 1 cup
.eagnt taDiespooniuis Vj cup
Four tablespoonfuls i cup
Five tablespoonfuls plus
one teaspoonful 1-3 cup
Sift the flour once beforo measur

BRAININESS IN A WOMAN i
DOES NOT ATTRACT MEN--
Therefore the Clever One Jicu

THEWS Is a saying which runs, "Bo
good and you'll "bo lonely," which
ought to bo twisted around to "Ho
clever and you'll bo lonely." This ap.

do not llko clever women, or rather
they are not attracted to them If they
think they are clover.
in tho possession of brains, or, to be
moro exact. In letting tho world know
ho has brains, a. man has all tho ad
vantage. A woman will sit by tho
hour listening to his ideas and Ills
achlerenieptH when she hasn't any
earthly Idea what ho It talking ahout.
Then sho goes upstairs nnd confides to
any ready femlnlno ear the fact that
"John C. Li a wonderful talker."
BUT as for a woman with "too much
brains," frankly a man Is bored
with her Ho will call onco or twice,
bring around another man or two to
meet this nerfect whizz who can keco'
up a brilliant conversation all cvenlnir
long; nnd then tomehow his Interest
wanes. This girl will mako a splcn-
uiu wire lor somo ono clto.

memory. of tho brilliant conversation
still in 'his mind lie hies him to tho
telephone to see if somo wide-eyed
young person with a rullly pink dress

Wednesday night.
Thus ends tho reign of the clever
woman!
In splto of theso obstucles, however,'
clover women nro marrying every day.
How do,they do It? Ky keeping their
bruins well under cover. If they have
accomplished things It must seem .to
bo mado to appear they happened by
tho merest accident. A woman'H
word may bo law in an oillco a library
or ii school, but when she opens tho
door for tho man she would fain cj!1
her own blio must be completely
shorn of that robo of authority and
garbed in tho 'sweet placid garments
of ono who Is led and never leads.
THK clever woman who would ever
enter the estuto of tho normal
oung woman must keep In mind that
for her the highest form of art Is that
which conceals Its urt. If sho Is uble
