"Here, take your foot off my angel-food!" fiercely ordered the youth. But the other was like adamant.
That was the last I ever heard of Jim's trouble with arithmetic. His father was eager to know how the change had been brought about, and I explained on the score of the angel-food cake and ice-cream he had had over at Harry's, with no slight mention of my glorious white rag.
In his case he could recall the image of a photograph of a neighbor his family had labeled as "Grandma" Vera with her black dress rustling in the wind carrying him in her arms. Would they think upon theirs-something similar to Vera frying hamburgers on the grill as the scents of angel-food cakes came from the windows of her kitchen? He chastised himself.
"All right," said Ivy, with a white-hot calm. "I'll leave. I can make the grandest kind of angel-food with marshmallow icing, and you know yourself my fudges can't be equaled.

A small quantity of cream of tartar is used without soda in such mixtures as angel-food cake, in which egg white alone is used to make the mixture light.

A religious fanatic, he obeys but one scriptural injunction "Be fruitful and multiply." Even the Russian ladies wash only to suit the dresses they wear high-necked or decollete.

Alice was alarmed. "Don't you think perhaps it's too much, mama?" "It's better to have too much than too little," her mother said, cheerfully.
The arch look upon my face, the martial mien, and the flashing eye all betoken the real hero. Then the pride of that home, the sumptuous feast of chicken and angel-food cake, and the parental acclaim all befitting the stanch upholder of the family honor.
