FOB AN AFTERNN AFFAIR

♦hit Bread Han Become a Ftararfta Among Hostesses Who Waufl “Something OMtoreafl” One cup of sugar, one egg One and one-quarter cups of milk. Four cups of flour. Four teaspoonfuls of baking poroOne and one-half cups of nuts. First mix sugar and egg in a bowl. Measure and sieve your flour. Add baking powder to floor. Then alternate in adding the milk and flour to the sugar and egg. After these are mixed, add the nuts. Either English walnuts or the plain American walnuts can be used. The nuts can be ground 1 by putting .them through a meat chopper or by' rolling them on the bread board by fusing the roller pin. After all your < ingredients are well mixed, put the latter in two pans. The pans must I first be well greased with lard. Bread, pane are preferable. Let the bread rise for 20 minutes. Then put in a moderate oven to bake. Bake for 40 minutes. The nut bread has- supplied a longfelt need, for upon, all sides we have been constantly hearing the complaints of people who wish to eliminate such rich refreshments served at pink teas and bridge parties. What to give at an afternoon affair, instead of the inevitable ice cream, has been a probitem. Nut bread, which can be used instead of rich pastries, has solved the solution. A fruit salad and nut bread can be served, and one woman reasoned that this is the same as the salad course of- dinner, which, we all agree, is the most sensible of all the courses. When the bread is served it is cut in very thin slices and plentifully buttered. A good plan is te butter the bread before cutting the slices from the loaf. This Is delicious served with any salad.
