“ Sponge Hall.”—Four eggs, one level cup Hour, one level cup sugar, ' half-teaspoon. baking powder. Beat eggs and sugar very well, have flour and baking powder well mixed, and add quickly to sugar and egg. Take a square of baking paper, butter it well, and pin up the four corners to make a tray of paper. Have baking tray hot, put the paper on, and fill with the mixture well spread out. Bake in a brisk oven for 20min, or until it rises and slightly browns. Slip out of paper by unpinning corners. Spread with jam and roll at once. •
" Batter_ Over Apples."—The fault probably lies in having the oven too hot to begin, with, and so browning thoo.utside before the centre is cooked. Try a cooler oven and cook longer. . “ M.P.”—The secretary of the Sunshine Club is Mr Marsh, reserves officer, railway station, from whom you may get all particulars. “ Dandruff.”—l do not know of any home cure. I should consult a good chemist. “ D.E.D.”—The only instructions that I have given for making a quilt were for using laminated wool. You would need from 31b to 41b. Cut a piece of thin calico the size needed. Pull the wool, well, and spread on this, having it of an even thickness, then tack in lines about Gin apart. Coyer with another piece of calico, tacking down again, and join round. The quilt is then ready to be covered. For this artificial brocaded silk is very’ satisfactory aqd very inexpensive. Make a casing some inches larger than the wool quilt. Slip the cover over am! 'then quilt down on the lines. For this you must use cotton of the same colour, and use a long running stitch. The quilt can be made of old blankets, washed atid stitched together in three or four thicknesses.
