To tho maker of that immortal ballad, plum cake stood for the most costly bribo within the means of tho harassed townfolk. Two hundred years ago rii:ht here in this dcur, old Quaker town, fruit cake was an Indispensable feature of every feast of 'note. Tho housowife would jealously guard the crock that held her pre cious fruit cake, tho recipe of which was highly treasured. Tho process of making and baking tho empress pf cakes was, an impor tant factor. In those good old days eggs were plentiful; butter was rea sonably priced, and tho good old fashioned housewife made her cake early in the summer. Then nlong In October sW prepared tho doughs for tho small cukes that aro as.-much s part of the Christmas holiday as is tho fruit cake. ' Tho holiday season in Europo is one of joyous merrymaking and fun. Belgium, Holland. Sweden, Switzer land and Italy make and servo to the young folks and tho children daintily made small cakes made from honey, spices and fruit. In Franco during this season of the year, the patisserie, or pastry shop, has its windows piled high with all manner of small cakes, iced with colored sugars and decorated with nuts, fruits and drngees. Every American housewife has her treasured recipes which she has test ed and found good and -which the neighbors, far and near, have copied. As a duty toward conservation we will lay aside these expensive recipes with the feeling that we may have our Christmas goodies if we will cut down on eggs, butter and sugar. The Christmas cakes for this sea son's festival will mean more to us than a mere delicacy. Thivyear the calces will bo symbols -of -ttie glorious peace celebration for Christmas. Therefore, let us make them with Iwlng hands, putting into each cake our best wishes and thoughts for this most blessed of all Christmnsos -V a. world at peace. ou may use rendered chicken fat criyegetablo oil in place of butter, or jpart sugar and part sirup in place oil all sugar.

It a boy Is unable to keep an appointment It la for some good reaeon; for It he mads an appointment he must really care for tho girl's friendship in doing so.

"Blarney" Gets a Scoring Dear Cynthia I fear I am going to some, what drift away from the subject Intro duced by "Perplexed," but I am really tired of hearing the girls knocked about for being "eofi" on the "flattery stuff." This Is not true of all. . ..! ..,t "Blamoy's ' letter hai exposed himself and other members of the male Bex. snd the girls will easily seo it tf they read between tho lines. Now, young men who flatter (In are Just the Individuals who like to bj praised. When a fellow flatters a flrl and sees she "falls" for It. he atralghtens up snd thinks; "It took me to mako hor blush, all right." 1 hope that I am making this clear, rerhaps the following story may A 'man once rose In a large audience of suffragists and tried to give the women a strong argument by saying that a woman should not have the vote because she was soft-headed and would cast her ote for the man who flattered hor. most. Well, a woman answered, sarcastically! "Of course, you men aro never flattered. For Instance, the handsomest man In this room has not got hi tie on straight." Instantly every man' a hand .vent up to straighten his tie. Bo, girls, take a bit of advlci Just you give them enough flattery ant they wilt come around often. No fear of h sing them, either, and "lilarney," dear, Jusl get over that feeling of conceit and you will be all right. KLIZAUETJI K. Another Answer to "Blarney" Dear Cynthia In reference to "An Open Confeenlon From a Heart-Ilreaker" In Mon day evening's paper, I'll have to admit It wan wonderful My, but "lilarney" sure does come out with "atralght-from-the-shoulder goods," nnd that's tho only and best way. I am Indeed, very glad to say I am not a victim In regard to this, how ever. Any girl who usee, a wee bit of common sense toon dtcoer all men are ding'1 the girl along until sometimes it leads to a heartache Tho rent and only ay to know tho truth Is when, as "lilarney" says, the diamond ring Is slipped on tho tngage ment finger Girls. I wonder If we realise what this confession means? Why. atop to think for a minute, and ou will flud nu'. the meaning of what "Blarney" told uo nil. Kvery man "kids" the poor deluded glrll I hopo every girl who Is In the same, position as "For plexed" will road "Illarney's" letter and do exactly what he advises. That's the only way "kid the kldders." Tlt-for-tat In this can is tho game. The men flatter us: Jthey find pleasure In It. Oh, it's very amuilng, I'm sure, but they do not know what pain they are caualng I know lome one who was treated that way and behove it was pretty mean. I wou,d suggest some men stop flattering nnd fnol'ng jnd Icok for a different trade for a change. . , I am very glad to know that "Blarney" known he Is a "heart-breaker" and am sure he will try to overcome his fault.
