Design No. 8840 is easy for even
a two-year old to get into all by
herself, because it goes on like a
coat and buttons all down the
front. Its princess lines are ac
cented by sweeps of ric-rac up and
down, the neckline is finished with
a little notched collar, and panties
are included, of course.

SEWING CIRCLE PATTERN DEPT.
149 New Montgomery Ave.
Many a cook who shines brightly
a t cake-baking sadly admits that
she doesn’t have
the knack of mak
ing flaky, melt-in-
the-mouth pastry.
She feels that it
is something she
the color of her
eyes or her hair.
But a careful look
at her pie crust
through a magnifying glass or mi
croscope often gives a clue as to
what is the matter.
Flaky pastry is made up of many,
many thin layers of dough separat
ed by long, thin air pockets or spaces
formed when the layers of fat and
flour are separated by steam dur
ing the baking.
I P art of this flakiness depends
upon the manner in which the fat
is cut into the flour and part upon
the handling of the dough. If a
part of the fat is rubbed in with the
fingers or a pastry blender, until it
la in very small particles and is
evenly distributed throughout all of
the flour; and if the remainder of
the fat is cut in so that it is in
fe ’ly large pieces about the size
ol navy beans or peas, then the
crust has an excellent chance of be
ing both tender and flaky. The large
pieces of fat separate the flour into
layers, while the small particles
tend to make the dough more
tender.
If all the fat is distributed in
small particles the crust is apt to
be "crumbly" rather than flaky.
To this fat and flour mixture is
added the water, a procedure which
is best accomplished with a fork.
Hie dough is worked lightly to
gether into a ball so that it can be
rolled out. Overhandling at this
point foreshadows a tough crust, yet
the dough must be kneaded enough
so that it will stick together and
form a smooth sheet under the roll
ing pin. A slightly richer formula—
a proportion of (4 cup of fat to 1 cup
of flour instead of the usual V« cup of
flour to 1 cup of fat, makes it pos
sible to handle the pastry dough
more without toughening it appreci
ably.

Mary Was Looking for
Another Way Out!
The housewife was showing her
new maid through the upstairs
rooms. Finally, they came to a
staircase leading down.
"Now, Mary,” said the house
wife, stepping on to the landing,
“when you wish to pass down to
the garden, go down this way.”
At that moment she slipped, and
with a great bumping noise she
was precipitated to the bottom.
“Good gracious, mum!” gasped
the maid, “Are ye hurt?”
"No; it’s nothing,” replied the
dishevelled mistress as she arose.
"Then ye’ve got down it fine,
mum!” declared the girl. "But if
that’s the way I’ve got to go down,
the job’s too strenuous for me!”

Lots of Color in Sight
On Spring Style Horizon
Look to your colorsl You can
align yourself with the pastel enthu
siasts or you can go colorfully South
American. There is a convincing
argument in favor of either.
Speaking of the lighter colors, of
course you will want at least one,
if not several, of the perfectly
charming and most flattering pastel
wool frocks. Chapters could be
written about these fascinating
frocks.
A favorite decorative touch for
these pastels is the trapunto quilted
effect.
When it comes to the startling
South American color technique, not
even the rainbow or the whole color
spectrum is exceeded in the bright
hues of red, yellow, purple and
blue that are amazingly combined
in daring contrast.
There is also a decided showing
of vivid russet, brown, tangerine
and similar shades in the new color
schemes for spring. Lots of purple
is used with cerise.
Emphasis is noted on beige this
spring, and chamois is a sm art new
color for coats.
