If cake batter runs out of the pan when baking, it may be due to too small a pan, too slow an oven, too much sugar or shortening, or too much leavening. If the cake has a moist sticky crust, it is due to too much sugar in the recipe. If the crust is thick and heavy, the recipe may have too much flour, too long baking, too hot an oven, or not enough sugar or shortening. If a cake humps or cracks on top it may be because it has too much flour or was baked In too hot an oven. Coarse texture is due to too much leavening, not enough liquid, Insufficient creaming of shortening and sugar or too slow an oven.

POn greatest achievement In F superb styling, in versatile inter pretation, in chic and in charm, the fashion world should confer honors of high degree on the producers of knitted apparel. It ’s really amazing the way the knitted arts (both hand and loom) are entering into every phase of fashion from sports togs to formal evening clothes. Never losing a “trick" in way of following up every possible fashion trend, creators of knitted apparel are interpreting the mode in all such newsy items as the knitted wes- kita which are "last word” fashion this fall, also the very new and smart lumber-jacket styles, likewise classic suits that are so superbly styled one wonders that such things can be actually achieved in knitted wear. Here they are, however, right before our very eyes, so breathtak ing and so versatile that enthusiasm for wool-knits and things hand- knitted has mounted to a new high this season. The weskit theme is taking the fashion world by storm. Shown to the left in the picture is a weskit done in a lacy knit fabric of wool and rayon. This English weskit is chic to the ’nth degree, and because these weskits are so practical and smart looking they are going over big with college and career girls. Gray is the chosen color for this swank weskit, for gray is the fea tured neutral for suits and sports fashions this year. Worn with fuchsia-colored gabardine slacks as is the model pictured, is one way of doing it, but worn with a tailored suit the effect is equally smart. Centered in the illustration is a new lumber-jacket costume, a type of dress about which so much is be ing said and done this season. This two-piece is hand-loomed of 100 per cent wool yarn, which gives it an ex clusiveness all its own. The lumberjack top is in the fashionable gold color worked with a green monogram, for to give a smart ac Tailored Knit Suit Barbara Bell Pattern No 1205 is de signed for sizes 14, 16, 18, 20; 40, 42 and 44.

The navy one-piece dress (also very smart in black or a lush fall color) as shown to the right is one of those love-at-first-sight fashions that will create an urge to become the owner of one “just like it.’’ Here is a glowing example of how fasci nating the new wool-and-rayon lacy knit fabrics are. A knit fabric dress as here styled makes a wonderful basic type for colorful accessories, such as the hand-crocheted wool snood and bag done in vivid Mexi can colors, which milady in the pic ture wears with it. Small wonder is it that college and career girls are going all out for knitted things. Scarcely a phase of fashion but what is being interpreted in knitted or fabric-knit ways. A per fect charmer in way of an around- the-clock dress is the slender one- piece done in black jersey with sleeves in gaily colorful striped jer sey. Perhaps the most outstanding tri? umph in this season's wool-knits is the suits that are so superbly styled, as are also the newest hand-knit suits. If there is one knitted fashion that will capture your fashion more than another it is a suit of the patrician type as shown in the pres ent fall collections. As produced these days a knitted suit refuses to wrinkle or lose its shape though you wear it day in and day out.
