Success in cake making also depends on using the right type and size of pan and baking the cake at the correct temperature for the right length of time. Common sense? Yes it is, but deviation in only one of the points listed may be just the dif- ference between a successful cake and one that is a failure. For example, the following re- cipe for Chocolate Chiffon Cake calls for an ungreased pan, The reasons for this are to allow the batter to cling to the sides of the pan while climbing or rising dur- ing the baking and to allow the baked cake to "hang" in the pan when it is inverted. This results in a light, high cake. If there is a trace of grease in the pan the cake will not rise to maximum height and may fall out of the pan when inverted, resulting in a heavy, small cake. This recipe for Chocolate Chif- fon Cake, one of the favorites, is a delicious cake and a light one, which puts it in a spring or sum- mer time dessert class. As it takes well) to freezing it can be made now while eggs are still reason- ably priced. Chocolate Chiffon Cake 34 cup cocoa 1 cup boiling water 1% cups sifted pastry flour 11/4 cups sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt .7 egg whites 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/ cup sugar 1/ cup salad oil 7 egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine cocoa and boiling wa- ter, then chill. Mix and sift flour, the 11/4 cups sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a meringue of the egg whites, cream of tartar and the remaining sugar. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add, in order, the oil, egg yolks, cocoa mix- ture and vanilla. Beat until, smooth. Add to meringue and fold in gently until thoroughly combined. Do not stir. Pour into an ungreased 10 -inch tube pan and hake in a moderately slow oven (325 deg. F.) until surface springs back when pressed lightly, 70 to 75 minutes. Immediately turn pan upside down and leave until cake is cold. Note: For a darker cake, add 14 cup...,,more cocoa and 1/4 cup more sugar. - THE TEA SANDWICH There are so many reasons for having a tea party in May -to hon- o'r Mother, to welcome a new neighbor, to entertain for a bride - elect, to show off the newly decor- ated livingsroom, or to welcome the new club president. And what to serve with the tea is answered so simply - sandwiches - dainty, colorful, tasty ones arranged at- tractively on your best plates. If you are not already an expert at making tea sandwiches, here are a few pointers for you. The'Bread for the Sandwiches - Allow 1 to 11/2 slices. of bread per person; this will- -provide two to three small sandwiches each. As tea sandwiches are dainty, the bread slices should not be thick- er than 1/4 inch.

SWANSONS' JEWELLERS Stratford's Reliable Jewellers 83 Ontario St. STRATFORD Open Every Friday Night till 9 should be used for fancy sand- wiches. Plain breads such as en- riched white and whole wheat go with any kind of filling but there's special flavor and appeal in sand- wiches made from fancy hreat, like date and nut, cheese, fruit, banana, etc., especially the open - face ones, which can be spread with creamed cheese. The Butter for the Bread -Al- low approximately 2/4 of a tea- spoon of butter for every slice of bread. For example,, if you are buttering 32 slices of bread you will need 24 teaspoons of butter which is the equivalent of 14 pound. The butter should be al- lowed to soften at room tempera- ture, then creamed until light and fluffy. As the bread for tea sand- wiches is thinly sliced, the butter should be 'spread in a thin layer over it and a pliable knife or spatula does the job better than a stiff knife. Plain butter, like plain bread, goes with any filling but there's novelty of flavor in sea- soned butters for fancy sandwich- es. Try adding to creamed butter, subtle touches of a spice such as nutmeg, cinnamon, poppy seed or crushed caraway; or an herb such as thyme, basil, tarragon, minced parsley or onion, The Spread Over the Butter - Tea sandwiches are dainty and therefore the texture of the filling must be fine and the amount of filling on each sandwich should be on the Light aside. Creamed chees- es, vegetable or relish fillings, and sweet fillings make good spreads for afternoon tea sandwiches. All ingredients such as celery, pimen- to, nuts and pickles, should be chopped very finely. Taste as you go. If the bread and butter are plain, the filling can stand consid- erable flavor added to it. If the bread or butter is already fancy, season the filling with a very light touch. Four Simple Shapes For the Plate Cut -Outs (1) Make ordinary sandwiches and cut into- small triangles, diam- onds, squares and fingers. (2) Cut thin bread slices with small shaped cutters to make cir- cles, flowers, stars, hearts, cres- cents, etc. Spread with butter, then spread one half with filling and cover with matching slice. (3) Cut slices of bread with, dif- ferent shapes. Spread with butter and filling. Decorate with a dif- ferent garnish on each kind of sandwich. With a few of these very attractively decorated open - face sandwiches, there is hardly need for other garnish on the sandwich plate. Pinwheels Cut thin slices of unsliced bread, lengthwise. Spread with butter and filling. Remove crusts. At one end (for center of pinwheel) place a row of stuffed olives or 'pitted cherries, gherkins, dill pickle (plain or hollowed out and filled with cream cheese), dates, aspara- gus, stuffed celery, banana or cook- ed sausage, etc. Roll up firmly like a jelly roll, sealing edge with but- ter or filling. Wrap in waxed pa- per and chill for several hours. To serve, cut each roll into six to eight pinwheels. For variety make some pinwheels without center decoration. Rollups Follow directions for pinwheels but use ordinary sliced bread and only very small center decoration (e.g. asparagus tip or piece of wa- tercress). To serve, cut diagonally in half, or cut into bite -size pieces. Rollups may be toasted in oven or broiler •and served on cocktail picks. Ribbons Make four -layer sandwiches, al- ternating 1/4 -inch buttered slices of white and brown bread and using three contrasting, smooth-textur- Suggest Gingham For Bassinettes A bassinette. cover with old-time charm that will retain its fresh- ness after numerous soap and wa- ter washings. This is the ideal of today's busy, but nonetheless dot- ing, young mother. To create such a bassinette cov- er, easy -to -sew gingham will prove a happy fabric choice. It will keep its crisp colorfulness through re- •peated'launderings, and can be adapted to all kinds of dainty dec- orative schemes. A gingham bassinette skirt, made in two graceful tiers, and trimmed with eyelet embroidery edging and beading, according to these instructions from local sew- ing center experts, will prove a nursery delight. You may even find yourself making matching nursery curtains. Measure height of bassinette to give you length of skirt. The sec- ond tier, or shorter "over -skirt", will be somewhat less than half this length. The width of the skirt fabric will be three times the cir- cumference of the bassinette. You will need enough edging to stitch around both top and bottom tiers plus four times the measure- ment of the top of the bassinette. You also need beading for the bas- sinette to measurement. If using gingham with no right or wrong side, a construction step may be saved by folding fabric lengthwise to make the second and shorter tier. Shorten this tier by cutting off excess fabric until the proportions are pleasing. At bottom edge of each tier turn the gingham under 1/2 -inch and lay it over the eyelet edging. Stitch edging to the gingham with a scal- lop stitch pattern set for a satin stitch. The remaining edging is gather- ed and ktraight-stitched to the top and bottom edges of the beading. This is used to trim the top of the bassinette. --' - Gather the top edge of the skirt to fit bassinette. Stitch one piece of snap tape to under -side of gath- ers. Stitch beading over right side - of gathers. Finish open sides of skirt with a narrow hem. You may maintain complete washability by using quilted nylon, shaped to fit, for bassinette lining. You will have to slash lining into a V at each handle joining, point out local sewing center experts, and reinforce these slashes with bias tape. Stitch other half of snap tape around lining edge. Velvet woven edge -ribbon is run through beading and tied in a bow. Matching ribbon can be wound around handles.
