One cupful of milk, 1H teaspoonful*
of cornstarch, one-half cupful of sugar,
one-fourth cupful of butter, oue egg,
flavor to taste. Scald the milk, add
sugar and butter, then the corhstarch
mixed with a little cold milk. When
thickened pour on slightly beaten egg
and spread between a square of the
above cake spilt In two. Leave until
cream soaks well Into the cake. Pow-
der the top with Icing augar and serve.
To this cream may be added nuts
shopped, half a cupful of pecans
chopped, or It may be flavored In vari-
ous ways. A handful of Alberts cooked
In a caramel of sugar and then ground
makes a most flavorous and delicious
flavoring for this or for a richer cooked
cream. Bananas, or even oranges, If It
Is to be served within a few hours,
may be added.
This cake may be used as a quite
satisfactory substitute for the elegant
and expensive Savoy, the Genoese,
etc., and whites of egg only Instead
of the whole egg may be used In mak-
ing It. It can be put together with
fruit sirups, used for trifles, and with
all the compounds of whipped cream
and fruit.

Tempting Titbit* Are st Com-
mand of Housewife—Should
Be Mere Morsel.
A good many of us think that unless
we can keep a butler an hors d’oeuvre
regularly served Is out of the ques-
tion. To be sure, we serve oysters
on the half shell and dams and grape-
fruit. But we seldom venture beyond
these things, unless we entertain
formally.
The middle-class French housewife
understands the true value and eco-
nomy of an hors d'oeuvre. Poor
French housewife! How often she Is
used to Illustrate the housewifely vir-
tues! She must tlrs of her popularity.
But the fact remains that she does
make use of the hors d'oeuvre In the
proper fashion.
What she understands Is this: That
a dainty titbit to begin the meal puts
the diners In a pleasant frame of
mind. It whets their appetlteB and at
the same time soothes them and puts
them In a mood to enjoy, and, more-
over, to assimilate the dishes that fol-
low.
The hors d'oeuvre need not be ex-
pensive. Caviar Is not essential to
any one's happiness. But it-must be
delicate, tempting.
A skinned and boned sardine, laid
neatly on a narrow strip of thin, hot
buttered toast and garnished with a
sprig of crisp parsley is an easily pre-
pared and Inexpensive tidbit A few
chilled, red radishes, with a thin,
round sandwich of white bread and
butter, makes a good luncheon appe-
tizer. A little fish paste, which Is sold
In tubes, spread on a toasted wafer, le
another appetizing morsel.
These suggestions show that the
planning of an appetizer need not be
very troublesome. If radishes are tn
market, If they look unusually good,
make use of them. If they aren’t In
market, go to the supply closet and
get down a can of sardines.
The hors d'oeuvre, be It remem-
bered, Is only a morsel to tempt the
appetite—a soothing taste to put u*
In a mood for soup and the other good
things to come. In this guise it ii a
valuable addition to opr hurried
American meals.
It Is never more than a morsel, a
tickler to the palate, a sample. It Is
never a substantial dish that in any
way appeases the fury of the appetite.
In making It too substantial, some
cooks err.
It should always be no more than a
tantalising test*.

Dsllcat* Confection, Expensive to Buy,

pared at Home.
Glace nuts are expensive to buy, hut
like small fruits they may be prepared
at home. It is necessary to be a little
careful the first time the process la
tried.
Have the nuts, grapes, raisins, cher-
ries or berries ready. In a clean agate
saucepan put one full pint of granu-
lated sugar, a good gill of cold water
and boll until It will thread. Add
three tablespoonfuls of vinegar or
lemon- juice; boll again and remove
from the fire the Instant the syrup
changes color. Pour It Into the farina
boiler, which Is waiting with boiling
water in the outside part. Remove
to the table and dip the nuts or fruit
In and out as quickly as possible. Try
not to coat them very thickly. Drain
them on greased paraffin paper.
Another way is to grease with but-
ter generously a platter. Pour the
boiled mixture on It and stick nuts
or fruit through it. Cool end then
break the mass apart with a small
hammer.

required.

The lady with serene, broad, low
brow and straight eyebrows may em-

coiffure like that portrayed In the low-

here. It suits the character of her
face exactly, and suggests a serene
and beautiful personality. Besides, It
Is a style that ts good tor a life-

ment of the back hair, but preseiye
