breaks, secret sorrows, moist pillows
and sleepless nights might the aver
age girl of sixteen save herself if she
would just “talk things over” with
her mother, and find out that instead
of mother “knowing nothing” she
“knows it all.’ And what is more—
that she stands ready and anxious to
help her little girl over the rough and
unsure places that she traveled her
self and knows and remembers so
well.—Selected.
CARE OF THE GUEST ROOM.
There is no room in the house
where greater precaution should be
taken against disease germs than in
the room occupied by visitors. A
guest may spend but one night in a
room and yet if he is suffering from
catarrh or sore throat, a thorough
cleaning of the room after his de
parture is necessary for the well be
ing of the one that will next occupy
it. The room should, of course, be
swept, dusted, well aired and the mat
tress and bedding sunned for at least
a few hours. An excellent plan is to
put a teaspoonful of carbolic acid in a
pail of hot water and cleanse each
piece of crockery about the wash-
stand in the solution, but care should
be taken to rinse well before drying.
See that the towels, wash-rags and
soap are replaced by fresh ones.
Guest size cakes of toilet soap are not
only dainty and attractive, but are
a real economy and fill a long-felt
want with the careful housekeeper.
If the hostess has reason to be
lieve that the latest visitor had .tu
berculosis or any disease that would
render the room particularly unsafe,
it is well to close the windows and
doors of the room securely and burn
a formaldehyde candle. After disin
fection, thorough airing will drive
away any unpleasant odor.—Selected.
CAKE RECIPES.
Orange Cake.
Two cups each of pulverized sugar
and fiour, half a cup of cold water,
five eggs, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, the juice and grated rind of
one orange. Beat the yolks of the
eggs with the sugar, add the water,
then the fiour with the baking pow
der, then the whites of four eggs
beaten stiff (leave out one for icing),
a little salt, and last the orange.
Lemon Cake.
Three cups of sugar, one cup of
butter, four cups of fiour, five eggs,
beaten separately, one cup of milk,
one cup of milk, one teaspoonful of
soda, juice and grated rind of one
lemon.
Lemon Jelly Cake.
Two cups of sugar, half a cup of
butter, three and a half cups of fiour,
one cup of milk, three eggs, one tea
spoonful of baking powder. For the
jelly, use the juice and grated rinds
of two lemons, two tablespooiifuls of
cold water, two cups of sugar, and
two eggs; warm the lemon, water,
and sugar gradually, add the eggs,
well beaten, when scalding hot. Let
it cook slowly, as it burns easily.
Nut Cake.
Two cups of sugar, one cup each of
butter and cold water, three cups of
fiour, four eggs, two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, two cups of hickory
or white walnut kernels.
Cocoanut Cake.
Two cups of sugar, half a cup of
butter, three eggs, one cup of milk,
three cups of fiour, two teaspoonfuls
of cream of tartar, one teaspoonful
of soda. Bake in jelly-cake tins. For
the filling, use one grated cocoanut,
add to half of it the whites of three
eggs, well beaten, and one cup of pul
verized sugar, spread this between
the layers. Mix with the other half
of the cocoanut four tablespoonfuls
of sugar, and strew thickly on top of
the cake.
Loaf Cocoanut Cake.
One cupful of butter and milk, two
cups of sugar, three cups of fiour,
four eggs, one and a half cups of
grated cocoanut, two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder.
Icing For Cakes.
Whites of four eggs, one pound of
pulverized sugar. Flavor with any
fiavoring extract preferred. Break
the whites into a broad, clean, cool
dish. Throw a small handful of su
gar upon them, and begin whipping
it in with long, even strokes of the
beater. A few minutes later, throw
in more sugar, and keep adding it at
intervals until it is all used up. Beat
until the icing is of a smooth, fine
and firm texture. If not stiff enough,
put in more sugar; use at least a
quarter of a pound of sugar for each
egg. Pour the icing by the spoonful
on the top of the cake and near the
center of the surface to be covered.
If the loaf is of such a shape that the
liquid will settle of itself to its place,
it is best to let it do so. To spread
it, use a broad-bladed knife, dipped
in cold water. If it is as thick with
sugar as it should be, one coat will be
enough. Set it in a moderate oven
for three minutes.
