REAL MAGIC—Performing just off the Orchard School Fair midway tomorrow will be a rising young Houdini, known to his friends as Sandy McNally. Here Sandy (extreme left), a Shortridge High School senior, demonstrates one of his show tricks, linking Chinese rings. It will be in his repertoire at a 2:30 p. m. performance during the all-day event at the school. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin McNally, 5720 N. Pennsylvania St., he has been interested in magic since he was nine. His first public performance was to raise money for the Children’s Museum when it was moving to its present location. Now he performs regularly for parties and benefits. Entranced with his preview are Randy Wilson, Barbara Fuller, Jean Rothbaum, Bill Deckelbaum and Jack Reefer (left to right),

all Orchard pupils.

Bride's Cake Is Center of Attraction

By ISABEL DUBOIS Times Special Writer

CHICAGO, May 16— Feature attraction at your wedding reception will be the all-important cake, your bride's cake, Traditionally it is a delicately flavored white cake, . frosted over and decorated with simplicity and charm akin to the wedding gown itself, If you choose, a lavishly decorated bridegroom’s cake may co-star as the center of attraction with your bride's ‘cake. Customarily this is a wellaged fruit cake, usually cut in small pieces and tucked away in fancy little boxes to be taken home by sentimental guests “to dream on.” Occasionally the two cakes are combined to make a wedding cake of the accepted three-tier variety,

» = w . IN THIS CASE the small top tier is the bridegroom’s cake (fruit cake) which is removed as the two bottom tiers of

bride’s cake (white-cake) are

being cut, and served. Many girls choose to buy ifr wedding cake or their ride’s and bridegroom’s cake, But should you choose to make your own, here is the recipe for the bride's cake, It is easy if yor follow the directions accurately,

» » ” FOR THE BOTTOM layer use a 12-inch round cake pan. For the middle layer two 8-inch standard round layer cake pans (134 hches deep). These two layers will be put together

‘to make a middle layer of

pleasing height. For the top layer use a one-pound coffee tin, a bit over four inches in diameter, Prepare your pans before you begin to make the cake, Brush the pans thoroughly with slightly cooled mglted butter, using off the top. Line bottoms of all pans with parchment paper or heavy wrapping paper, cut to fit. Cut a strip of the paper 15inch wider than the depth of the 12-inch pan and fit it around the sides of the pan. Line the sides of the coffee can in the same manner. Brush paper liners with melted butter. It is not necessary to line the sides of 8-inch pans. Next assemble all ingredients. To make this bride’s cake you will prepare the recipe twice. Measure ingredients for the two cake recipes, setting aside the measured amounts for the second baking. Don’t guess. Measure accurately and carefully, using standard measuring cups and spoons.

‘Here is the recipe. Make it

once for the bottom 12-inch tier, once for both the. second and third tiers.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt together, Beat the egg

whites stiff but not dry. Gradu%lly add 2% cup of the sugar

and continue beating to form a smooth meringue-like mixture.

Cream the softened butter until very fluffy, Gradually add the remaining sugar, Combine milk and flavoring extracts. Add sifted dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beating until smooth after each addition. Carefully fold in egg whites. Pour into the prepared 12inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 50 minutes or until top of cake springs back when

pressed lightly with the finger..

Remove from oven and cool for five minutes before removing from pan. Invert on large cake rack. Carefully pull paper off sides and bottom of cake. Leave inverted to cool for preliminary frosting.

Repeat the recipe. Fill 8-inch pans almost 24 full with the batter. Pour remaining batter (about 2 cups) in prepared coffee can. Bake these three layers at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 35 minutes,

Remove from pans in the same manner as the larger layer. Leave 8-inch cakes inverted to cool and frost. Cool small cake top-side up. While cakes are still slightly warm, spread sides with a thin coating of butter frosting and let stand for several hours, or as long ‘as 24 hours, before putting cake together and decorating it. This prevents crumbs from getting into final frosting and, helps to keep the cake moist and fresh until the next day's frosting. Do not put layers together, Cover with waxed paper and towels. Use a single recipe of the following butter frosting for this preliminary frosting. Use a

Award IU Group $1000 At Club Federation Parley

Times Special

MINNEAPOLIS, May 16—Indiana University Interfraternity Council today was awarded $1000 at the General Federation of Women's Clubs convention here for leading the way in turning fraternity “hell weeks” into

“Help Weeks” throughout the

_ nation.

In accepting the award, Kenneth V. Hughes Jr., 35 W. 46th St., Indianapolis, Ind., Interfraternity Council president, said it will be used to present a trophy annually to the Interfraternity Council in the Big Ten that does the most to promote better public and student relations for fraternities, ‘Mrs. Hiram C. Houghton, Red Oak, Iowa, retiring GFWC executive, announced the $1000 was a gift from Lord and Taylor, New York department store, It was presented to the federation for its “Design for Living” program.

® » » “WE THOUGHT IT only fair,” said Mrs. Houghton, “that we pass this on to another organization which had done much to help American people in the right design for living.” The “Help Week” idea began on the IU campus in 1949 when Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity pledges were put to work repainting a community center and doing other constructive jobs as a part of their initiation instead of being forced to engage in public “stunts.” The nation’s clubwomen were on record today with resolutions calling for a plan to get more medical and dental benefits to the people and for fhe reduction of taxes on “mediumincome” brackets. Mrs. R. 1. C, Prout, Wakefield, Mich., defeated Mrs. L. J. McCaffrey of Miami, for the second vice presidency of the federation. A Lexington, Ky.
