A WEDDING ;CAKE,
Tho tvedchng cake of today is the
same rich, indigestible compound
dint prevailed n•s far back as our
groat granilntothers' days. liven
to -day the bride prefers to have a
bandin the mixing • of her 'cake,
though it is baked at the baker's.
Here is an excellent rule that
tan be relied upon. The fruit
should be prepared the day before'
ri eking •Cho, cake. Cream together
one pound of enst lted butter and
a pound of augar. Sift together a
pound pastry flour and a teaspoon-
ful each cloves, cinnamon, mace,
and nutmeg, and a saltspoonful of
salt and set near the fire, where
the flour will be thoroughi'y dry.
Foi the fruit have ready four
1''ounds of seeded raisins; quarter-
ed and dredged with flour, three.

valent in dates, figs or prunes soak-
ed and slightly cooked, then chop-
ped, a pound of citron shaved as
fine as possible, one-half pound of
wound almonds end a half pound
each' of candied lemon and orange
peels shredded. •
For the moisture have measured
out one cupful of confeetiooner's
molasees, two-thirds of a cupful
rich fruit syrup from preserved
at:'awberries, peaches, plums, or
cherries, and the grated rind send
joiee of one lemon and one orange.
Having creamed the butter and
sugar and twelve unbeaten eggs,
cine at a time, using the.hands to
beat them in instead of a spoon,
tvben well blended acid part pf the
liquid, then part of the flour mix-
ture. When all have ben used beat
in a half teaspoonful of soda dis
staved in a little warm water and
then mix in all the fruit excepting
the citron.
When thoroughly blended put a
kali inch layer of the batter in a
can that has been lined with sev-
eral thicknesses of paper, taking
care that the paper comes well
above the edge of the tin. Cover
with a ,uniform layer of the citron
shavings, then another layer of bat-
ter and citron, having the last lay-
er of the dough. Cover closely and
set away over night..1n the morn-
ing bake five hours in a steady,.
moderate oven, protecting the top
of the cake with paper till suffici-
ently risen or steamed. then bake.
When partially cooled ice with the
white of one egg beaten stiff with
confectioner's sugar. When this is
cooled and hard apply the clecura-
five icing.
When the cake is to be distribut-
ed only among the bridal party put
in a plain gold ring, a silver then-
, bet and a copper cent, each wrap-
ped in paraffin paper, also tiny sil-
ver skates, miniature motor cars or
stick pins, one for each member of
the party.
At the larger and more formal
weddings small boxes containing
-wedding cake are piled on a small
table near the front door and
handed out as each guest departs.
These individual boxes are ob-
long or square, either three and
a• half inches long or two inches
square. They are covered with
pure white kid or egg shell paper.
The cake is cut to fit the box and' is
wrapped in a square of paraffin
paper, then in tissue paper. On
the top of each box are small in
teitwined initials of the bride and
getoom in either • gold, silver, or
white. The boxes are tied with
white satin ribbon about a quar-

DRIVEN TO DRINK.
Bad cooking is blamed by Or. re-
eorlk, rector of a Manchester, (Eng-
land) college for the fact that many
men take to drink. He says it is
more important to teach girls hots
to cook than how to play the piano
nicely.; Many men are gradually
lel towards drink by bad cooking
and want of variety in their bood-
stuffs. ,
