Cookies belong to the large class of cakes made with fat, as distinguished from- sponge cakes, which are made without fat.

Plain cup cake, foundation cake, rich cake, pound cake, and all the variations of these basic recipes, from. white cake to devil's food and including cookies, are made with fat. The. other essential ingredients are flour, liquid, sugar, eggs, a leavening agent, and flavoring. For cakes, soft-wheat flour is better than hard- wheat flour; milk is the best liquid in most cases; granulated sugar la preferred to powdered; a fat which can be creamed Is better than an oil.

Pound cake bas no leavening, but the other cakes of this class leavened usually with baking powder, or soda and sour milk. Cookies aa a rule a modification of foundation cake and rich cake. The main difference between cookies and cakes, excepting their size and form, la that cookies are made from dough and cakes from batter. That is cookies contain more flour and cakes. less liquid than Drop There are, however, soft-dough or drop cookies, and stiff-dough or crisp cookies.

The dough for drop cookies, by one good recipe, Is made with cup of fat to 1V4 cups of finely granulated sugar, 2 eggs, cup of milk, 4 cups of sifted soft-wheat flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 14 teaspoon of 3 teaspoons of flavoring. These are about the same proportions used for foundation cake, except the liquid, of which there is considerably less, thus making the drop cookie mixture suffer than cake batter, tb.o soft enough to drop from a spoon. The direction for mixing the drop cookie dough are: Cream the fat unt'l it is soft, add the flavor- Ing and the sugar gradually, stir- ing until the mixture becomes light and flnffy because of the air beaten into it. Continue the cream- Ing while adding the well-beaten yolks, but add them slowly, otherwise the mixture may curdle as the yolks go in. Sift the dry ingredients together, then add them and the liquid alternately to the fat and sugar mixture.

The dry ingredients, however, should be beaten in, the liquid stirred in, ftnd the dry ingredients should be the first and the last added. Last of all, fold in the beaten egg whites. Drop small portions of the dough from a spoon to a greased baking sheet or shallow pan, and bake for 15 minutes in a moderately hot oven (375 degrees Fahrenheit t. Orange drop cookies are a particularly attractive variation. To make them, use in place of the liquid (the milk and the flavoring) In the above recipe, 4 tablespoons of grated orange rind and a cup of orange juice.

Refrigerator (Crisp) Cookies Crisp cookies, which are richer than drop cookies, are made from a stiff dough which is rolled thin, cut and baked in a moderately hot oven (375 to 400 degrees Or the dough is molded into a roll, wraped in waxed paper and put in the refrigerator, sliced off thm and baked when desired. It takes but 10 minutes to bake these cookies. Pin-wheel cookies are of this kind made with a layer of vanilla flavored dough. and a similar layer of chocolate-flavored dough, thp two lavers rolled up together like a jelly roll, chilled in the refrigerator, then sliced very thin and baked in a moderate oven. In this richer and also sweeter dough, the proportions are 1 cup baking ponder.

teaspoon of ton cream pie. Or, again, with a 1 salt. 2 teaspoons of Mix filling of sliced fresh peaches or according to direction for drop other fruit, this batter makes a cookies. For the chocolate layer, add 2 squares of melted chocolate (unsweetened) to the dough. Sand tarts, one of the crispest kind of cookies, are made by omitting the liquid from the above recipe, substituting; brown sugar for white, and using a little less of it cups of brown sugar i This dough also is shaped into a roll, chilled in the refrigerator and sliced wafer-thin with a sharp knife, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar (2 teaspoons of cinnamon to 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar).

With a nut (a bal- anched almond or a pecan kernel pressed into the top of each cooky, they are baked for about 10 minutes in a moderate oven. Hot Cup Cakes. Plain cup are the aim- plest and least rich of the cakes that are made with fat, which is another reason why they are good in summer time. These cakes are make from what is really just rich muffin batter sweetened: cup of fat, 1 cup of sugar, 3 cups of flour, 1 egg and 1 cup of liquid, with 4 teaspoons baking powder, to teaspoon salt, 1-2 to 1 teaspoon flavoring. And this batter ia mixed as simply as muffin i.

melt the fat and mix it with the liquid and the egg Sift the dry ingredients together, combine them with the other mixture, and stir until all ingredients are smoothly blended. Because these cakes are easy to make and contain so little they are often served hot, fat, and they go well with fruit or other desserts. Or the batter may be good shortcake. For cup cakes, blueberries, driad fruit, or nuts are often mixed in the batter. Sponge Cakes.

The sponge cakes--plain sponge, sunshine cake and angel food -contain no fat. They arc, essentially, beaten eggs sweetened, flavored, and combined with flour They depend on the eggs to hold the air which is their only leavening, so the proportion of eggs is high. For plain sponge cake: 4 or 5 1 cup of finely granulated sugar, 1 cup of sifted soft-wheat flour, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of grated lemon rind, half a teaspoon of salt. Separate the egg yolks and whites, beat the yolks, beat in the sugar, lemon juice and rind, then the flour, sifted with half the salt. Add the rest of the salt to the egg whites, beat stiff and fold into the mixture.

A sponge cake should bake slowly because it contains ao many eggs, and the oven temperature should very moderate (325 degrees When the cake is taken out of the oven, turn the pan upside down on a rack and let the cake drop out itself when it is cool, without ajiy handling. Do not cut sponge cake. Break, or pull it apart with forks. To "Jhorten the baking time, sponge cake, as well as plain cake, may be baked in muffin tins as individual cakes. This will mean perhaps 20 to 30 minutes in the oven, depending on the size of the tins.

And these cakes also may be split (with a fork) and filled with fruit or cream, shortcake fashion. YOUR PROBLEMS By Mary Gordon. Dear Mary Gordon: Here's a word to some of the wives who complain to you that they're losing or have lost their husbands' love: Most of the time it is because you've allowed your husband to make a slavey and a doormat out of you. And because you have done this, you are to blame for your present misery as much as he is. Don't leave your home--at least not until you do your utmost to rebuild it.

The moment you leave, your husband will start looking for attention elsewhere. You see he's accustomed to it--you've made him attention conscious, and if he ceasea to get it from you he'll be so- thirsty for it that he'll find it. Don't forget the field is full of women who'll give 100 percent of their time to a man, married or single. Wake up! Dress up! You say you can't look as you should on the money he allows you. Then ask him for more! Don't worry your own head about the expense, the extravagance.

What do they mean in comparison with your happiness? Have well groomed hair, manicured nails, a touch of makeup for your face when you appear fagged or worried, new outfits for your wardrobe (with gloves, purse, hat, shoes, dress, kerchief for the four seasons of the year. I know this will cost money, but so do insurance policies cost money, and the suggestion I am offering you is nothing more than an insurance policy on your home and your husband. If you will try my plan I guarantee that your husband will begin to notice you, not in the way he notices the chairs and the table and the hall rack, but with the eyes of one human being viewing interest, another human being. And I'll wager he ask you to go places with him, too. not leave you to an endless succession of lonely evenings.

Men's pocket books may deny this truth, but men's hearts and their behavior applaud It--they like to see a well dressed, well groomed woman. They like to see their wives looking as attractive or more eo than the other man's wife. It appeases their vanity and their conceit to have their own wife the cynosure of all eyes. Try this plan before you leave your A. It sounds like good advice and there's no harm in trying it, at least.

The husband will probably protest pense. loudly at the extra ex- But I have noticed that the wives who are the most valued are those who demand the most; who keep their husbands alert and busy in the business world. It is a pity but true that all too seldom is the self-sacrificing, thrifty, hard working wife appreciated. Cheese Dressing. (For vegetable or fruit salads) 1 teaspoon salt 1 i teaspoon paprika teaspoon dry n.ustard 2 tablespoons sugar tablespoon chcpped onions 1 teaspoon i-elery seed cup Roquefort 4 cup vinegar 'K cup salad oil Mix dry ingredients, add cheese and blend with fork.

Slowly add 4 tablespoons oil, add a little vinegar. Alternate remaining oil and vinegar. Chill and serve poured over salads. This dressing will keep a month if stored in refrigerator. HURT IN FALL Rev.

ditcmtry in OTCT 2000 For DRFFT brings an entirely new conception of how long can wear lingerie, chiffon hose and line woolrns without seeing them grow dim, dull and lifeless. And the chief reason for this is because DRLFT can't possibly form any hard-water "scum." This "scum" which you always see in your rinse water, is unnotireable in your wash water--yet it is there, doing its MCIOUS work, wash after wash, dubing the lustre of our sheer lingerie, spotting and sireakmg silk stockings. And this is true even though you have used what, before the discovery of DREFT, was recognized as the best, most expensive, soap known for washing fine fabrics. Amazing as this may seem, DREFT ends all this because it can't form cnm. And even more amazing, DREFT actually removes the stubborn, clinging scum particles that failed to rinse away in previous soap vashings--lets "scum-dulled" colors come up to their true brilliance.

You'll be thrilled to see the deh'-ate colors and feel the silky softness of your sheerest stockings "wash back" in DREFT suds.

Alkali in soapsuds- is what fades colors.

DREFT suds are the only suds you can get that do not contain alkali. You'll be astonished how, wash after wash, silk stockings actually seem like new when you me DREFT. It's economical too. For instance, in hard water, you need only use half as much DREFT as you would the finest soap flakes. We don't ask you to take our word for these amazing claims.
