fpiIE Tuesday before Lent is called
Pancake Tuesday. In some parts ,
of England the tossing of the pan-)
cake between the upper and lower
schools is ii en oniony that marks
the approach of the Lenten season.
The boys in many of tin- shires
find counties vi.sit the housewives.,
callinc upon them for donation for
the party which the boy.-, hold in the
evening. They greet her with: '
"I bo yer laddie, the laddie
That comes a-throvins, a-?hroving
So here be I. '
Give me a haddie, a haddio, ,
A dumpling or something
While I be n-shroving."
The making and baking of the
pancake is indeed u ceremony. In i
the north of England the cake has '
spice and flavoring, and it is spread i
with jelly and rolled, while in Scot
land this day is called I 'alien's Eve.
and here the cake is spread with a
mixture, of sugar, butter and spices.
They aro piled one on the other and
when three arc thus piled they arc
then terved as the principal dish at
the evening meal.

flat; the iron ones arc best, as they
hold the heat longer and can be

and Loses Sight of His Goal Does This Apply to You?
JUST how far can a person so In
business In tho defiance of criti
cism? A woman reader brings up this
problem In tho following letter:
"Dear Newspaper Friend Your
much appreciated opinion 13 wanted.
What do you think of a man afraid
of criticism, of unjust criticism? Is
ho a weakling? A coward? I nm re
ferring to the business world. A man
with limine, holding a good position,
and I think drawing a largo salary,
and well educated, la afraid of what
others will say and afraid they will
criticize. Tho matter to which I am
referring lion to do with business en
tirely and personal feelings havo no
placo In It. What Is your candid
opinion of him?
"DAILY nEADKP.."
Till: man to whom you refer Is rot
a weakling or n coward. IIo
simply lacks self-confidence. As Mat

But It Is up to the author
of tho plans to hold tight to his
