5 Large Kitchen Handy as Dining Room
tFperd b the ITnltwl Htm ropartment
of Acrli-ulturO WNU Service.
In the country, large kitchens are
tiore or 1pm necessary, because at
certain seasons food must be prepared
In considerable quantity to provide for
the extra helpers In the farm work.
Frequently It proves practical and con
renlent to use the kitchen ns a family
eating place, rather than to carry food

g Apples Are Used in $
g Tasty Hot Dessert
A bot dessert In which apples dec
orate as well as flavor can be cooked
In a skillet or In a heavy baking dish I
In the following way, says the bureau
of home economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture:
H cup butter or der.
other fat.
4 tip. salt
H cup sugar.
1
1 tip. vanilla.
H cup sifted tort'
wheat flour.
I Up. baking- pow-
H cup milk.
t to 4 flrm-fleihd
apples.
1 tap. cinnamon
mixed with
cup sugar.
Cream the fat, add the sugar, well
beaten egg, and vanilla. Sift the dry
Ingredients together and add alternate
ly with the milk to the first mixture.
Spread a thick coating of fat on the
bottom and sides of a square or ob
long baking dish or a very heavy pan.
Tare, quarter, and slice the apples
thin, spread In a single overlapping
layer on the bottom of the baking dish,
sprinkle with the mixture of cinnamon
and sugar, and add another layer of
apples and the remaining cinnamon
and sugar. Pour the cake mixture
over the apples. The batter is rather
thick and may need to be smoothed
en top with a knife. Bake in a Tery
moderate otch (300 to 325 degrees
Fahrenheit) for 43 minutes. Loosen
the sides of the cake, turn it out care
fully, upside down, and the top will be
covered with neat layers of trans
parent apples. Serve hot with hard
sauce or whipped cream.
I Peaches-Mousse Combination Popular
0KXX00XKX
t , -
Mousse With Canned
Prfprl liy th United Stai Di'Mrtmcnt
ol Agrlcultui. ) WNU tt-rvuf.
Peaches and ireum In combination
become a dessert de luxe when the
cream Is frozen. A mousse, or Ice
cream frozen without stirring, Is espe
cially good for the purpose since
mousses require somewhat heuvler and
richer cream than ordinary he cream,
made by churning In a freezer with a
dasher. Peach melba Is the desxert
made by putting the Ice cream Into
large halves of canned peaches, ami
it Is a very pretty and attractive dish,
but sometimes a little unmanageable,
on the plate. For that reason you
may prefer to slice the peaches Into
convenient sections find serve them,
with a little of the Juice they were
canned In, as a same or garnish.
Vanilla Is the most satisfactory flavor
for mousse that Is served with a fruit
iauce, unless some of the fruit pulp Is
mixed with the cream and frozen also.
To make plain vanilla mousse, frozen
either In a refrigerator with a me
chanical unit or by packing In h e and
salt, the following rerfpe from the
Imreau of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture may be used :
1 cup double crfam. 6 lbs. suKur.
1 cup rich milk or 2 r,H whiles,
thin (ream. 1-18 tfp. ff.lt.
1 tp. gelatin. H tep. vanilla.
Soak the gelatin until soft In a little
of the milk or thin cream. Heat the
remainder, and pour over the gelatin.
Add the sugar and stir until uixsoived,
where In the house, If much of the
family activity goes on lu the roomy
kitchen. Iviwever, from the home
maker's point of view, the main con
fident, . n, In having family meals In
the kitchen, Is the step-saving feature.
The old-fashioned way was to put a
large table right In the middle of the
room. This was apt to make more
work than It saved, for the housewife
had to walk around It constantly In
petting meals and doing other tasks.
It always seemed to be laden with
odds and ends about the time It was
wanted for the next meal. A much
better plan when a large kitchen does
double duly. Is to group the dining ta
ble and chairs at one side of the room,
.and bring the work centers close to
gether en the other sides. Placing the
dining table to one side does away to
some extent with the temptation to use
It as nn extra kitchen table.
The bureau of home economies of
the rnited Stales lVpartment of Agri
culture has made a study of conven
ience In the kitchen, and emphasized
the need of grouping work centers to
route the tasks In logical order. Prep
aration of raw foods, cooking, serving,
j and clearing away and dishwashing,
nre the four activities that follow each
other every day, and several times a
d:iy. In most kitchens. Compact cen
ters for these Jobs should therefore
follow the same order around the room
from left to right, for the right-handed
worker. The centers for serving
and clearing away and dishwashing
should be nearest the dining room and
close together. In this case they will
be nearest the dining center. A
glimpse of the sink on one side of the
picture shows that this plan has been
met In a satisfactory way In the farm
kitchen that was photographed. The
large closet Is near both the sink and
the table for putting dishes away or
for setting me table.

Fairy Tale
One day as the fairies were playing
in the beautiful garden, and were talk
ing to old Mother Earth, they heard
some little whispers down In the
ground.
"Oh, we are so anxious to come up,"
was one of the little whispers.
"Dear me," said one of the fairies,
"what does that little whisper mean,
Mother Earth?"
Oh, that Is one of those Impatient
little radishes. They cannot bear to
stay in the ground when the nice
spring weather is here.
"Besides, they think they're very
beautiful, and that red Is so bright
and gay after the long winter of snow,
and the early spring days of slush and
mud.
"They are really very proud of them
selves, and now they are becoming so
anxious to get up that I suppose I
must let them very soon."
Then, from not far off. some other
whispers came up through the earth.
They were quite like those of the
Peaches for Deitert.
and put the mixture aside to chill.
Whip the double cream. When the
mixture containing the gelHtiti has
thickened slightly, beat It to Incor
porate air. Add the vanilla, and fold
In the whipped cream and the well
beuten egg whites. The egg whites re
duce richness, Increase volume and im
prove texture. These, proportions will
make over four cupful before freez
ing; or. If the egg whites are not used
about three cupful.

The fairies decided this time it was
something else besides an impatient
little radish whispering.
"We want to come up," said the
sounds. "We can just see above the
earth, and we like the looks of every
thing on top of the ground.
"Our families have often told us
how nice Mr. Sun Is and Mr. Spring

looked about us we were admired
right away by real people.
"Then we were taken up and put

The fulrles laughed hard st that, for
they were not used to hearing whis
pers such as:
"Then we'll be eaten up," sold In
such happy tones.
"Well," said the Queen of Kulrles,
"I can plainly see that the only thing

Simple things, nicely served, are

but the average person likes good,
well cooked and seasoned food, hot o-i

If It should be cold,
Coffee find most fruit stains are re
moved by pouring boiling water
through the cloth at an elevation to
give It force when falling. However.
If cream Is present, that must be re
moved with cold water nnd sonp.
With material which cannot be treat
ed with boiling water, rub Ihe slain
gently with glycerine, rinse In warm
water and press on the wrong side.
In mal.lng toast remember that

I made by first heating the bread very

the picture one may get uu bleu of
both the enVcih chess and the versa
tility of button treatment as they
enhance I lie new modes,
articular attention Is called to tho
coat where the buttons ate placed bo
low the wul line. On the dies the
buttons at the neckline have gone di
agonal as has tho iiuiNCiuciit (if tho
stripes which pattern (lie liinlcrlul.
The skirt Is one of the new buttoned
types which Is s.i popular at present.
The tl ist wee sKoUh In the Illustra
tion goes to show- that even a single
button If pl.nvd at the M'ry uioMt
strategic point can bo highly orna
mental. Notice In the next llllle picture that
buttons are ranged on a plaid waist
coat. The vokuo for waUlcoat or
mannish vests with either single or
double bieanteil buttoning In rinpha

suit whh h is so smart for spring.
Crystal buttons arranged on either
print slll.s or summery cotton In con
nection with scallop as shown In the
third sketch at the top of this group
make a very effective trimming.
Below, considering the sketches from
left to right, the first suggest an In
teresting placement of buttons on both
skirt and bodice, the white trtnngular
rover producing a striking contrast.
The same Idea of button on both
skirt and the bloi.se or vestee Is pi -
Ingly varied In the center miniature
drawing.
Again In the concluding sketch but
ton are made n pleasing trimming

Among the lesson taught by this
group of suggestion two are outstand
ingthe placement of button on the
diagonal and the use of button below
the wfllstllne as they button the coat
or the skirt.
