Chocolate cream filling. Two cups scalded milk, five level tablespoons cornstarch, one-half cup sugar, three- fourths teaspoon salt, one-third cup cold milk, one and one-half squares unsweetened chocolate, one tablespoon butter, three tablespoons hot - water. two eggs, a few grains of alspice, one teaspoon vanilla. Mix the cornstarch. sugar and salt in the cold milk, add to the scalded milk and cook until thick. Add the chocolate, meited in the hot water and the well-beaten egg yolks and cook over hot water. Let cool, then add the flavorings and fold in the etlff-beaten egg whites. A little additional sugar may be needed for some tastes. This, mixture may also be used for a cream pie filling, or for a dessert served in glasses with whipped cream, with or without lady- fingens or cake crumbs as a foiinda tion, and a few nuts as garnish. Will you please let me know whether you wish for a fruit cake or a loaf cake without fruit, and whether you Want it rich or plain? Any cake can be darkened by the use of a little cara mel syrup or extract a little lighter in color than that used for browning gra vies, , or by the use of chocolate or cold coffee for mixing instead of milk. Spices, of course, a:to tend to darken cake. The falling of cake Is usually due to one of two causes. 1. Poor propor tions or Incorrect measurements. 2. Removal from the oven before the cells of the cake have been sufficiently stiff ened by heat to stand up when the expanded hot air supporting them is contracted, by cooling. Moving or shak ing the cake unduly in the oven at the moment when it has reached lt3 maxi mum expansion may also cauae falling. Shaking the cake before baking will do no good if the ingredients have been inaccurately measured, .or if an unsci entific recipe is used. Since accuracy is important, it is always safer to weisth rather than to measure ingre dients for cake. During several years in a Scottish training school where all cooking was done by weight rather than bv measurement. I never once saw a fallen cake, even among the very youngest of the "practice classes." Skill In mixing and a knowledge of oven temperatures are ateo needed in sue cessful cake making. Shaking the cake, as vou suggest, would not prevent an inexperienced hurry-UD type of cake maker from taking her cake from the oven before it was properly tempered. THOSK arresting spring hats with brilliant rooster heads on top have perhaps Intrigued your imagina tion. There's a reason for them. Ru mor says that a famous Taris milliner recently presented the wife of M. Poln care with a stunning tricorne hat on whlfh was mounted a brilliantly colored eock'a head. The tricorne turban is of fine llsere straw and black faille silk. Chantlcler is In tlvid bear let touched Vith black and gold. The very blonde girl, with pearly skin and golden hair, is adorable in the vivid pring-green hat of the moment. It Is a nard green for an older woman to wear, but youth can carry it off charm ingly especially fxir-hf Ired youth. The (ccu iiai is irora fans an Urtette cre ation and Is made of very rough straw in a shado of green that imitates the green in the Italian flag Just another compliment to one of the allies of France. The brim slants off daringly i ine rigni. anu wttti it slants a sharp potmea green wing. Green ribbon is Danuea around the crown. Sateen Is a new arrival In the mllll "ry salon. Now this recently despised fabric Is lifted to the height of fash ton and many of the smart hats ready for Kaster show sateen and straw com bined. The effect is pictured in a new mushroom shape which is covered with gold sateen and faced with white straw. A white ribbon encircles the crown, and the lattice pattern on the hat is made with gold-colored embroidery silk of a deeper shade. Another modish dress detail Is the Vandyked pleating of geor gette crepe worn in a rounded neck opening of the bodice. . il PORTLAND. Or.. Feb. 1h.

Dear Miss Tingle: Will you kindly give me a recipe i for maklDi English muffins and also one I for banana cream pie ? M RS. J. li C. A certain knack, some experience, muffin rings of suitable size and ex actly the right kind of flour are neces sary for -success in making English muffins. Though the recipe is very simple, most American cooks fail to get .very good results. Kncllsh muffin? 1 pint lukewarm water, 1 perfectly fresh yeast cake, 1 Vi teasnoons salt, flour to make a very soft dough, probably about five cups. Mix the veast smooth with a little of the water, and add to the rest, then beat In the flour, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Let rise to dou ble bulk. Two risings may be given before placing In the rings, but quick muffins can be made with one rising. Divide the above mixture into ten or twelve enual parts, shape into rounds, flatten and place into greased rings, set on a tray heavily dusted with flour. Cover with a cloth and let rise to dou ble bulk. Then lift muffin and ring together to the griddle and bake to light golden tinge on each side, being quite sure they are baked to the center. When wanted for service, toast on each side until crisp, then tear the two halves apart and butter generously. Put together again and cut across in pieces of suitable size. Serve in a hot plate covered with a muffm-napkin, or in a regular muffin dish kept warm by hot water. Do not attempt to cut them through the middle for buttering or they will be very heavy. Some people prefer to have the inner part toasted as well as the outer crusts. In this case serve with the Inner toasted side upward. The outer crust should be thin, crisp and slightly "flinty" in texture. The inside part should be light and spongy and quite full of holes of medium size: Eggs and sweet ening are never used in English mu fins. Crumpets are similarly made, but with a thinner batter. They are usual ly H inch thick when baked, and the upperwide Is honeycombed with holes. trumpets snouia De toasted to crisp them after baking, but are not split open like muffins. The above recipes are from a pro fessional English muffin and crumpet maker. You might let me know whether you wanted a banana cream pie baked with the pastry or simply the filling for a previously baked pastry shell. j-or mo tatter use me eream filling i i 7.1 r v NVa 1 liWf .1 I y THE PRErCRRCl FRONT- LACE A Redfem Corset looks pretty m the, hands, but its full beauty can only be re vealed when it shapes your figure.

Dear Miss Tingle: Would you please publish in The Sunday Oregon Ian a recipe for chocolate filling, also a very dark loaf cake? If the air bubbles in a cake batter are shaken from it before placing In the oven will this prevent it from falling T Thanking you, MRS. K. D. I wonder whether you mean' strictly a filling' or whether it Is really a frosting that you want. I find so many people say filling when they mean frosting. ' Vienna or butter frosting flavored with cocoa and vanilla, to taste, may be used as a filling or as a frosting. Ordinary white icing, flavored with melted chocolate, may aleo be used for both filling and frosting. One of the best of chocolate frost Ings Is made by adding any preferred amount of melted dipping chocolate to-' ordinary, "stock'1 fondant and Ila-.

"banana cream pie" made by folding together equal quantities of whipped cream (sweet ened) and riced banana pulp with a lit tle lemon, juice, the mixture being placed in previously cooked pie shells and finished with chopped nuts, or a meringue, or left plain, as preferred Banana Bavarian croam may also be used for a previously cooked pie shell tilling. "Frozen banana cream pie" is made by placing alternate layers of vanilla or banana ice cream and fresh 'sliced bananas in a previously baked pie shell, finishing the top with whipped cream and nuts. Let me know if none of these types of pie are what you had in mind, as there are several others, baked banana custard, for instance, with whipped cream or cocoanut; or banana tapioca cream pie, or bananas baked in a pie shell and covered after baking, firat: with soft custard, and then with whipped cream, or with softened marshmallows and whipped cream, or with whipped cream alone. All theso are known as ''banana cream pie," so your question is a difficult one to answer. ' mm -aW ' M I I .fjj ? k3 '! ,11)1 ' I, I.VO (.- MM m 1 1 ') ft m i l?

Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs are used annually, and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medici nal substances are at" their best. It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation, which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
