aid on this dessert, try the
new self-rising flour now on the
market. The new product has lots
of advantages over the old self-rising?
flour, because action is slowed so
that by the time your cake is mixed,
the baking powder is only starting
to work. Thus, you lose none of
the "risin' " power.
Here is the recipe to try with the
new flour:

Cream 7 tablespoons or a scant
Vi cup fat. Add % cup sugar. Cream
until sugar has dissolved. Add 1
egg and stir in thoroughly (do not
beat). Add % cup milk and 1% cups
self-rising flour alternately. Add 1
teaspoon extract. Pour into a
greased and floured cake pan, and
bake in moderate oven (350 degrees

Split the cake. Spread lower

cream. Garnish with peach slices.

her enormous shock, and she
dashed out to the limousine (in

counter. And Tim, walked out with
the bear cub, all unknowingly.
By this time, Marion ani Irene
had picked up Sally, whicn they
could hardly wait to do. They
were most "diplomatic.' of course, i

it out of them, which wasn't too
difficult... i

But Sally was angry?utterly,
completely angry. Through the entire

a mistake. They went through

noise like a vacuum cleaner! What
did I do to deserve this? And
that ridiculous relic leering at me,
night and morning..." She looked
hatefully at the worn bronze idol,
on a pedestal opposito their beds.
Tim became, serious. "Now wait
a minute," he" began. "He isn't n
ridiculous relic, and you know it.

"Well, that's safe enough, I must
say1!" Solly broke In. "As long as
I'm under the same roof with you,
Tim Willows, I don't think we'll
ever agree on anything!"
"Aw-w, go soak your head!"
"If I were a man, you wouldn't
get away with that!"
"It you were a man, I'd fix
you so you'd be eating oft the
chiffonier for a week!"
"If I were a man, eh?" Sally
returned. "Well, I'll change places
with you any time! What a cinch
you have. Dash out of the house
every morning.. .play around ail
day...and try to kid yourself
you're working. You ought to try
running a household seme time!"
The Ram'e face was lighting
up.
"I'd love 'to?" Tim laughed
sarcastically.. "I'd love to loll in my
bed all morning, up to my hips in
beauty creams.. .and then pull myself
out of the hay in time to go
to a bridge party and stab my
friends in the back. You and your
hard lot! Don't make me hysterical!"

The Ram's head was now brightlv
lit. "Do you agree you'd like to
change places?" he asked slowly.
Neither Tim" nor Sally heard.
They simply continued to afguc
in the same vein.
Tl.e Ram spoke softly, again:
"Are you sure you want to change
places?"
"Did you say something, Tim?"
Sally asked drowsily.
