In our household it was necessary to make three trycrs to satisfy the interested audience. Baking temperatures are important, and I have ventured to add them to the recipes supplied by the Girl Scouts. A moderate or hot oven usually gives the best results, excepting In the case of those cookies which are made from a basis of egg whites. In this case a slow oven is essential.

If you make cookies often you will find that baking sheet's which fit your oven will save time. It is the baking, not the mixing, which uses up time. Sugar Cookies 'X cup shortening. 2 cups sugar. cup milk.

I wonder how that name came to be given to those sweet morsels, which, although they may differ so much in texture and in flavor have certain common characteristics. A while ago and I am rather late in reporting the event I was a judge at the Girl Scout cookie contest. two were alike, as even when the same recipe may have been Used there was an individual touch. The judges were furnished with score cards, which allowed thickness, color, texture and flavor to be considered. While every judge tried to be unprejudiced, it was interesting to find that each one had a certain definite idea as to what a cookie should be.

I am sure that this dated back to childhood experience. One of the men was intrigued by cookies with scalloped edges, another by a thick sugar cookie which had a crackly surface. In the end, however, texture and flavor triumphed, as you will find if you try the prize-winning reci))es which I am giving you today. You will note that most of these are for rolled cookies. In fact, there were few drop cookies entered in the contest.

For this reason I am giving you some of my own favorite recipes for this type of cookie, which is particularly easy to make. Drop cookies are of several types. They may be thick like rocks, for instance, of moderate thickness, like some other fruit cookies and soft ginger cookies, or they may be wa-ferlii. For the latter type it is a rather good idea to try one in the oven before baking sheet is filled, In order to be sure that there will not be too much spreading.

A new star on Hollywood's horizon prefers it pure and aged for two years in a wooden barrel or keg. And this part of the routine is new and news. She keeps it in an atomizer in the icebox, believe it or not, and sprays her throat, arms and face with it after each cleansing. Used ice-cold the oil serves as a cumulating and invigorating treatment, and after the spraying a gentle patting over the skin with the oil elves the complexion a velvety finish. Well, here's a new way to use your atomizer.

White chiffon for brunettes is recommended for those who wish to stress extreme youth. Of 'course, simplicity is part of the bargain for nothing is more effective than simplicity in the association with youth. But, black, glittering black in an evening dress, with accents of fur and jewels will add seme 15 years to your appearance and if you can stand it, that's fine. In addition to adding years, it will add a very worldly look glamour with sophistication. One Hollywood designer who dislikes veils predicts, however, that the dramatic value of the mantilla will insure it positive popularity in high style circles.

Look for it with seductive evening kowns and smart, upswept hairdo's. Pink has invaded Hollywood, too. Pink tulle, frothy with ruffles, plays an important part in one picture. And an indestructible quality in a new irfidescent, starched organdie eliminates the problem of wrinkles and predicts success for this material, this coming summer. Copyright, tor The Tribune Mrs.
