The General was undoubtedly dis-

papers en his desk and brought out at
last a flimsy half -sheet of notepaper
which he studied carefully.
"Just read this, Thomson."
Thomson rose and looked over his
shoulder•. The letter was an autograph
one of a few lines only, and dated from
a village in the North of France—

In the depths of a deep, blue lake!

Of colors, deep down in the sea;
And then a bright Japanese lantern
Of lights, that were wondrous to

A Lemon -Aid Lawn Party.
A new kind of lawn party they
wanted—partly for fun and partly for
funds. Imagine then the antfoipation
aroused in town when pale yellow
posters lettered in black appeared in
various local windows:

Thursday evening, July fifth

The Church lawn was festooned with)
pale yellow Japanese• lanterns looking'
like huge swaying lemons. Pretty
waitresses in white, with frilly organ-
die aprons of lemon -color, flitted about
among Iittle round tables. There was
also a long counter, a la soda fountain,
lined with tall glasses and manned ;by
two lively white -coated 'boys,
Behind it were hung la>ge placards
stating the list of beverages to be had!

You could either stroll up to the
counter and sip your "aids" through a
draw or else sit down at a little table
to be served by a butterfly waitress,
who offered you your Choice of crisp
little lemon cooldes or a wedge of
luscious lemon meringue pie to ac-
company your lemonaeIe.
Presently a boy in a yellow down
suit appeared on the scene with a
great bouquet of bobbing yellow bal-
loons, which even the grown-ups
couldn't resist,tosa nothing of the
children.
A sign post pointed its frn.ger to-
ward a corner of the lawn where Cir-
cus Lemonade was promised. Here a
large tub of genuine pink lemonade
delighted the youngsters, incidentally
keeping then nut of the way of the
older people. It was ladled eat by the
tincupful by a jolly "barker," and of
course there were peanuts to sell, hard

Rules for Cake Melting.
Accurate, level measures are abso-
lutely necessary_.
Too much sugar causes he cake to
rise very 'light in the oven then fall,
making a moist sticky cake with a
sticky crust.
Too mueh•fat makes a close -grained,
heavy' cake ;which •erumhles easily.
Too Iittle fat makes a very porous
cake which dries out quickly.
For most butter cakes a safe.rule to
followis to use one-third to one-half
as much butter as sugar, and one-half
as much liquid as flour.
Shortening counts as so mneh liquid.
Eggs give lightness and fine texture
to a, cakeand .help .holdthe ingredients
together.
Baking powder may he substituted
in a take mixture for some of the
eggs 'where many eggs are called for,
using one -teaspoon of baking powder'
for each egg emitted.
Oakes which have fruits or nuts
added need to be stiffer than those
without, since these • materials are
heavy and sink to the bottom of the,
mixture when it is thin.
The •best cakes .are fine grained,
moist, not stieky and have an even,
texture throughout.
Coarse grained cakes are the result'
of lack of beating or too slow an oven,'
A crack in the top of et cake means':
one of two things: either an excess
of flour or too hot an oven. If the.
oven is toe het when the cake is put
in to bake, the Brost will form over the
top before the cake has risen its full'
height and then the gas and steam in'
the cake forces its way up through the
crust and makes the unsightly crack!.
When a cake falls it the fault of:
too cool an oven, if the recipe is known'
to be a good one.
Not sufficient flour is most often the!
cause of cake falling. i
Removing cake from oven before'
sufficiently baked, is another caul.+,
