HOT BREADH—QUICKI.Y

raisins? Muffins

peaks? Scones
spread with jam
or jelly? Why, of
course, they're
yummy, and
what's better,
they can all be
With the cooler
weather setting In, you homemak­
ers can return the hot breads and
their baking into your schedules.
Or is there a bake sale or a ba­
zaar included in the fail and winter
schedule of your church or club ac­
tivities? Nothing will fill the bill
quite so nicely as a few trays of
freshly baked biscuits, rolls, and
bread.
Although cakes and pies can be
baked at home by individual mem­
bers, these hot breads can be made,
oh, so quickly right In the church
kitchen because they need only a
few supplies and a few minutes to
bake. They'll give your display a
more complete array of baked goods
and will also be a good substantial
contrast to tho fancier displays. To
make things easy, serve them in
pans (if you can spare them) to
save time in making displays.
If you're planning a sale of bakery
goods, have one section of a table
set aside for selling Individual pieces
of cakes, pie, cookies, or a roll.
When people realize how delicious a
mouthful is. they can hardly resist
buying a bagful.
As a good starter, consider the
possibilities of the humble baking-
powder biscuit.
Baking Powder Biscuits.
(Makes 12 biscuits)
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons double-acting bak­
ing powder
H teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter or shorten­
ing
Milk to mix
Sift the flour once, measure, add
baking powder and salt, then cut in
shortening. Add milk and mix just
enough to hold together in large
flakes. Pat to 1« of an inch thick­
ness on a floured board and cut with
a biscuit cutter. Bake in a hot oven
(450 degrees) 12 to 15 minutes.
’Butterscotch Rolls.
Make baking-powder biscuits as
given in the recipe above and pat
on floured board.
Brush with melt­
ed butter, sprin­
kle generously
with brown sugar
and cinnamon.
Roll as for jelly
roll and cut in H-
1nch pieces. Put H teaspoon of but­
ter and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
in each muffin pan and lay the
pieces of rolled dough on top of
them. Bake 20 to 25 minutes in a
hot oven (400 degrees).
LYNN SAYS:
Quick breads require less at­
tention than yeast breads, but
there are a few pointers about
them you ought to bear in mind.
Beware of overmixing the bat­
ter or dough. For the baking
powder variety work the fat into
the flour or mixed dry ingredi­
ents only until mixed. Then stop,
quickly. Mix in the milk with a
few whirls, but do not ovcrstlr
unless you want tough, leathery
biscuits.
The secret of good mufllns is
to mix the batter only until blend­
ed.
Even the egg should be
only slightly beaten. If you want
the muffins high in peaks, add a
tablespoonful or two of extra flour
to the recipe. Honey, jam and
jelly are indicated for muffins as
grand pick-ups for meals.
Always measure ingredients un­
less you have the extraordinary
quality of guessing accurately.
There is such a thing, but it is
rare, so remember to use stand­
ard measuring cups and spoons.
Measurements are level unless
otherwise stated.
Ovens for most quick breads
are hotter than for the yeast vari­
eties. Set the meter correctly
when heating and do not put bat­
ter or dough in until the oven has
reached the desired temperature.

CTAR white — star bright — but
you needn’t do any wishing
about this star rug. The diamonds
are so easy to crochet in four
what's more, you never feel the urge
to break the habit. In fact the more
you wear woolknits the more you
love to wear them. They don't wrin­
kle, or sag, they are styled to a
queen's taste. You can get formal
styles made resplendent with beads
and embroidery or you can get them
strictly tailored. There is plenty in
chic and charm in this season's
woolknits.
The dress pictured has established
a unique and much-to-be-coveted
record. It was voted a favorite by
a board of 12 guest editors from 12
different colleges, at a recent pre-
vue of knitted fashions by leading
designers
A fine wool jersey, in
black, styled with a pleated skirt, it
is in accordance with latest fashion
dictates, with long-torso fitted pull­
over top. Colorful Guatamalian ap­
pliques in floral designs make it
gay, young and eye-intriguing.
Here are a few additional high­
lights in college girls whims and
fancies. Typical boy suits worn with
gay stocking caps and felt, almost
knee-deep gaiters, blazer raincoats
in natural cotton, gabardine with
navy borders and new wool dirndl
skirts with gay yarn embroidery.
Clever smithy pinafores can be
made of velveteen, with wide ruffle
for the hemline and an over-the-
shoulder bib top, just like "three
little maids from school" might
choose.
The utmost pinnacle of joy is
reached in the heart of a schoolgirl
who acquires a coat of tightly curled
while baby lamb that is finished off
at the front with embroidered
bright gabardine bordering.

Brown Is Popular
Color for Autumn
The browns have “it” this fall.
The new wools in brown are smart
for suits and dresses. With these
brown costumes wear amber jewel­
ry or the stunning costume jewelry
made of various thin-as-paper woods
The effects in these is indescribably
beautiful. Red gum, walnut, holly,
white sugar maple and mahogany
are some of the woods used for
the necklace, bracelets, clips and
brooches. The floral parkwood neck­
laces are adorable, some featuring
apple blossoms, the papyrus-like
wood petals looking as fragile and
tissue-like as silk in natural wood
tones, they tune exquisitely to au­
tumn costumes.
Cloth Coats With
Under-Chin Bows
The newest thing in coats is color.
Very smart and advance in fashion
is the coat of bright wool minus fur
trimming, in lieu of which the coat
is fastened at the neck with a soft
bow tie of self fabric. A girdle bow
fastening at the waistline repeats
the idea.
Braiding and Trapunto
Details Are Important
First and always in your wardrobe
a neatvoguish foundation dress, pref­
erably in black, though dark brown
is equally as smart this year, cut
along a pattern of simplicity so as
to tune to prevailing American fash­
ion Ideals, is necessary. Then add
the interchangeable accessories that
make your simple basic frock a glo­
rified transition dress. Now you have
an entirely new outfit.
See this intriguing dress of sim­
plicity with its amusing necklace,
pictured in the Inset below.
Braiding on the new suit-dresses
is having a tremendous run this fall.
Most of the jackets that top the
dresses of self fabric have either
their collars, revers, cuffs or sleeves
—entire braided and the smartest
types have all-over braided long
jackets or boleros.
The braid is
usually a perfect color match to the
cloth it trims.
Trapunto treatments also are very
much in evidence. The newest ges­
ture is to place one large trapunto
motif on the bodice with one or two
similar designs worked on the skirt,
perhaps one at the left hip, the
other near the hemline of the skirt
to the right.
