And the drooping brim is apt to be further weighted with huge wings that Increase the apparent width of the hat. This picture hat, typical of the headgear worn by younger wo men at the smart afternoon tea places, is of navy' blue velvet with a brim fac ing in golden tan. The wings combine black spotted pheasant plumage -with quills shading from tan to warm rust color. The hat accompanies a frock of black satin with trimming of black baby lamb. Gay enough to be sure is the black hat brightened with huge discs of chen ille embroidery in henna, orange and rust tones. This hat has other features of intereset also and compels special attention ; by its exaggerated crown which is. of black velvet ovea founda tion that is rigid only part way up so that the top of the crown has a crushed effect. The cabuchons of chenille em broidery are applied to the hat though the design appears to be worked di rectly on the velvet. One of the prettiest of the Lewis turbans, just over, is this model of brown velvet and you decide at first glance gray ox. But there is no fur on the hat: Lewis has discovered a way to use raveled wool threads which sug gests fur, and this turban is an exam ple. The hat accompanies a stunning coat of oyster white cloth with lavish trimming of squirrel fur. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS PORTLAND, Sept. 2S. Dear Miss Tinftle: Owing to the conservation ot sugar I would be so glad to get a few recipes using honey instead of sugar. (1) Could you please give me any rule for substituting honey In re does that call- for sugar? (2) Would ap preciate a recipe for plain cake. (3) Cookies suitable for .children's school lunch. 4) Piimnkin Die. 5) Baking-powder snail re cipe. 6) Graham gems made with oat and Graham flour using sweet and sour milk. (7) Honey icing for cake. (8) All-honey nougat recipe. (0) I wonder If you could give me a cookie recipe similar to the store cookies which Is filled with a white icing? (10) Cream of tomato soup. Hoping my Questions are not too many. Thanking you ... MRS. M. s. 0U. can obtain a Farmers' Bulletin Y on "Honey and Its Uses in th Home" by sending 5 cents to the Superintendent of Documents, Wash ington, D. C., or you can borrow a copy from the Portland Public Library. This bulletin was written before the food restrictions became necessary, consequently the recipes call occasion ally for sugar as well as honey, and for white flour in proportions that we no longer use; but you will find it very helpful and suggestive if you have learned how-to- use the substitute flours as I think most housewives have done by now. In regard to a rule for substituting honey- for sugar, I think it will be found that "weight for weight" is a fairly good guide for most recipes. It is unfortunate that the American house wife has usually vague ideas about weight, and cooks and thinks too much in "measures where she does not cook by guess. As a rough estimate you may assume tnat inree-iourms oi a cup of honey will weigh about the same as a cup of sugar about eight ounces. Honey has about the same sweetness as sugar. - in aaapting a recipe, men, vou would first see whether It is possi ble to use less sweetening (since most of our pre-war recipes-are over-sweetened) and then, having cut down the sugar as far as you can, translate it into terms of honey. Thus, a recipe calling for 2V4' cups sugar could almost certainly be cut to 2 cups of sugar (or 1 pound) and for this you could substi tute 1 pound or about lVt cups pure honey, or a very little over this. In' cake and, cookie xecipes -in .wnicn honey, is used advantage may. be taken I of its acidity, as in using molasses, so that soda may bo combined with it to replace all or part of the baking pow der. The exact amount of soda neutralized by a cup of honey varies with the kind of honey used, but is generally not leas than level teaspoon and not more than level teaspoon. One-fourth level teaspoon soda, fully neutralized, will usually give off about as much gas as one level teaspoon ordinary bak ing powder. Thus it will be seen that while honey is less acid than molasses it will still help to save an appreciable amount of baking powder. Roughly, you may consider that one cup honey contains Yt cup water, and reduce your ordinary amount of wet ting accordingly. Honey is especially good for cakes made without batter. A honey cake keeps moist for months and Improves in flavor. Honey having a pleasant flavor of its own, "flavoring" such as vanilla is unnecessary. In fact, vanilla does not harmonize well with the flavor of honey; so that if any extra flavor is desired a small amount of spice would give a better result, besides being less costly than vanilla. These "small economies" in baKing powder, flavoring and milk tend to make a honey cake less costly than it appears at first sight. I should like to emphasize, however. that even honey cakes made without. sugar should be used in strict modera tion. The Food Administration is urg ing us to make greater economies and sacrifices than we have done in the past . year, and cakes, even if made without sugar, are "luxuries" and may take time, material and money in their making that might be more patriotic ally employed. Since your questions are many and space is limited I must leave most of 9. In regard to this, , I am afraid a. In regard to this, I am afraid your description is too vague for me to guess the kind of cookies you want. In any case cookies "with white (or any other color) icing" are unsuitable for war-times,- It is seldom - possible to reproduce exactly, with ordinary do mestic appliances and materials, spe cial commercial forms of crackers, bis cuits and cookies, even when the exact (Concluded 'on Faise i'ive.
