CHAPTER I.â€" (Cont'd.) "'Clear eyes do dim at last And cheeks outlive their rose: Time, heedless of the past, No lovinf; kindness knows.' FOR THE VERY YOUNG COOKS If you would have gifts for your daughters or for the little girU of your acquaintance at small cost per- hap8 you will like my plan which teems to give pleasure all out of pro- portion to the expense and eflfort re- quired. Whether they grow up to be very domestic in their tastes or not, there is a time when all prirls love to bake cakes, biscuit, cookies and pies. They usually drive their mothers quite dis- tracted begging to stir mother's bat- ter and .soon after begin to tease to l>e allowed to "bake one all by my- self." This Rtage of wanting to bake some- thing without help is usually even more troublesome for Mother because she fears the result with its waste of eggs, shortening and sugar when! there is a failure. Mother knows how; soon, at best, her sugar sack gets empty and sugar must not be wasted. Yet, how can Mother expect her girl to grow up to be the good little helper she needs or later the capable | wife she should be if every desire toi help and learn how is squelched?! Small wonder if girls seem to "takej to" other things when they are old enough to be of real help if never allowed to begin earlier. Many mothers who would really like to begin their daughters' training early find it hard enough to divide a recipe for themselves when they want to make only half the quantity called for; and when it comes to dividing a recipe into quarters, fifths or eighths, to make a cake or a batch of cookies just right for a doll's tea party, why that's out of the question when mother is busy (and mothers always are!) "Thus do fractions make cowards of us all" â€" to misquote. To answer the needs of my own little daughter at five years and the rather envious young neighbors of six and nine whose mothers wouldn't let them try a big cake, I hunted up the individual class recipes which I used in the days when I taught cooking. These small recipes delighted the lit- tle girls. Because Uicse little recipes proved so popular with both girls and moth- ers I wrote out a few of the best on goo4 white paper, put (hem together to form a booklet, made a cover of heavy paper and tied prettily. Then with the cover decorated with a gay hand painted design, or easier still,' by pasting on an attractive and ap-' propriate colored picture from a magazine, I had a "cook book" to de- light almost any little girl. These little cook books cost prac- tically nothing and if one has a penny or so to spare, a few little tins add immensely to the gift. Tiny muffin' or patty pan tins, a loaf tin about. 2x8 inche-s, hcartshaped tins, a small pie tin, a fancy cooky cutter, all please. If a tiny mixing bowl could be added, mother's would not be in' u.se when Khe wanted it ! | 1 am giving a few .small-quantity recipes here, perhap.s enough for a be-' ginncr, though probably everyone who makes a cook booklet will have' at lea.st one recipe which she will want to reduce to about one-fourth! the family si/.e and place with these. Dividing recipes is not difficult if one keeps in mind a few rules. A standard sized cup holds 16 table- •poonfuls, one-half hold;) half the number and ao on. A tablespoon level full equals three teaspoonfuls. An egg beaten fairly light amounts to about four good tablespoonfuls, so in taking one-fourth of a recipe calling for one egg about one table.spoonful is used. Show the little girl how to make' level niffcsurenipnts, leveling off cup' or teaspoon by pushing oflf the round-' ing or heaping surplus with the edge of a knife. Teach her how to divide' her spoonful into halve*, quarters or, •ighth.a. I As the girl grow.<i proficient in handling the sniali recipes, give her a splendid practical problem in arith- metic by letting hi'r double and triple her recipes. Almost before Mother knows it the little girl can be trusted to make plain cakes, muffins and drop cookies for the family supper, first under supervision, and later alone. All these measurements are level. Plain Cake â€" 3 tbsp. sugar, 1 tbsp. butter, 1V6 tbsp. milk, 4% tbsp. flour, % tsp. baking powder, few drops of vanilla, 1% tbsp. beaten egg. White of egg beaten instead of whole egg makes white cake. Chocolate Cake â€" 2 2-8 tbsp. sugar, 4 tsp. butter, 4 tsp. beaten egg, 4 tsp. milk, % sq. melted chocolate, few drops vanilla, h^. tsp. baking powder, 5 tbsp. flour.

Sprinkle thickly with sugar and cin- namon before baking. Ginger Drop Cakesâ€" 2 tbsp. mol- asses, 1 tbsp. sugar, 1 tbsp. lard, 1 tbsp. boiling water, % tbsp. beaten ere. % tsp. cinnamon, % tsp. ginger, % tsp. soda in flour, few grains of salt. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greas- ed pans. Muffinsâ€" ^i, tbsp. beaten egg, 1 tsp. sugar, 2 tbsp. milk, % tsp. melted shortening, 4 tbsp. flour, Va tsp. bak- ing powder, few grains salt. Baking Powder Biscuit â€" V* cup or 4 tbsp. flour, Vi, tbsp. lard, few grains salt, % tsp. baking powder, 2 tbsp. milk. Mix dry ingredients and lard, then add milk. Mix lightly, roll one- half inch thick and cut with small biscuit cutter. Bake in hot oven. Jock was preparing for a further, flight of fancy, when Mrs. M'Cosh, having finished washing the diskee, I came in to say that Thomson had Yes, and 'youth's a stuff will not en- never sent the sausages for Mr. Dav- dure,' and 'golden lads and girls all id's breakfast, and she could not see must like chimney-sweepers come to him depart for England unfortified by dust.' The poets aren't at all helpful sausages and poached eggs.

You said it would kill you in a those gay places, and for that Mrs. month. Was it only last May that M'Cosh was thankful. There was a you pranced in the drawing-room In cinema, too, and that was a touch of Qrosvenor Street inveighing against home. Talking over Priorsford with Glasgow friends she would say, "It's no' juist whit I wud ca' the deid country â€" no julst paraffin-ile and glaury roads, ye ken. We hev gas an' plain-stanes an' a pictur hoose." When Mrs. M'Cosh left the room Jock returned to his books, and the Mhor, his imagination fermenting with the thought of bombs on Priors- ford, retired to the window-seat to think out further damage. Some hours later, when Jock and Mhor were fast asleep and David, Ma packing finished, was preparing to go to bed, Jean slipped into the room. She stood looking at the open trunk on the floor, at the shelves from which the books had been taken, at the empty boot cupboard. "Two large t^rs rolled over her 'the whole beastly show,' as you called it â€" the freak fashions, the ugly ec- centric dances, the costly pageant balls, the shouldering, the striving, the worship of money, the gambling, the self-advertisement â€" all the abject vulgarity of it?

During a recent visit to the shop of a linen merchant who does a large importing business, I learned that all new linen which is not intended for immediate use should be thoroughly washed and ironed before being placed In chests or linen closets. Laundering removes the dressing which is found nowadays in even the finest and mast expensive linens, and prevents rotting along the creases. Choice linen which is to be laid away for some time should be carefully wrapped in gen- erous folds of dark blue tissue paper In order to preserve its snowy white- Mliwrd** LlnlmMrt hmM Otrtk The great charm of coarersatlon consists less la the display of one's own wit and Intelligence than in the power to draw forth the resources of others.
