HOME one is very shortly going to ask me what makes the icing smooth on cakes: Some one always does at this time of the year. The answer is--practice.

So, if the Christmas cake represents your sole efort at leing during the year, don't be disappointed if you fatl to achieve the uncanny smoothness of the confectioner.

Any jibes at the inequalities of your efort can be slifted by pretending that you were attempting a mows- cope, and that ridges in it are artistic snowdrifta.

But first comes the almond pinate. Mix together 1lb. ground almonds, 1lb. fine angar, and the juice of half a lemon, and make them buto à stij paste with an egg. Add more white of cyn if necessary,

Sprinkle your board with cornflour to prevent sticking and roll out the paste to the thickness you desire. Then cover the cake evenly with it. Put the cake aside until the next day.

For the icy you will need lb. telug sugar, the juice of a temon, and. the whites of two caps,

Pass the sugar through a hair sieve, and work it with the cpp-whites and lemon juice to a cream with a wooden spoon. Beat it for a quarter of an hour.

Spread it as smoothly as possible over the cake tolth a flexible knife.

Peaceful sleep for baby!

*ORIPZ

Only when his delicate little digestive system is in perfect order can baby... enjoy sleep right through the night. A dose of Woodward's Gripe Water after the last meal removes the cause of restless nights by checking fermentation and ensuring complete digestion of milk·· and other foods.

Woodward's contains no oplates, and is always quite safe to give.
