Try this recipe for a pood eponge rake: Place the yolk of an egg and one-half cupful of Migar in a bowl and cream until light lemon color. Then add three tablcfpoonfuls of water, three-quarters of a cupful of flour and one-half teaspoonful of baking powder. Deat well to mix and then cut and fold in stiffly beaten white of egg. Pour on -uell-grcased and floured pan and bake in moderate oven for thirty-five minutes. This cake will fill the pan. All measure ments arc level, and the success of the cake depends on remembering that j fish are thoroughly cleaned and then placed in a saucepan nnd covered with cold water. Cook gently for one hour, adding One-half bay leaf, One carrot, cut in dice, One onion, cut in slices, One faggot of soup herbs. Then strain the liquid and meas ure. Add equal portions of milk, allowing one tablespoonful of flour for each cupful of the liquid for thickening. Dissolve the flour in the milk and then add to the fish stock. Bring to a boil and cook for ten minutes. Season and then add for five cupfuls of this mixture One cupful of diced potatoes, One-half cupful of diced carrots. Parboil the potatoes and carrots until tender. One cupfid of canned peas, Otic grated onion, Four tablcspoonfuls of finely minced parsley, One level tablespoonful of salt, One teaspoonful of paprika, Two tablespoonfula of butter. Bring the mixture to a boil and then cook for five minutes. Serve. Three Meals From a Chicken Three meals may be obtained from a chicken. Try making chicken Bor deaux. This dish rray be prepared from leftover parts of the chicken that are frequently wasted. Cut one four-pound chicken as for fricasseeing and then cook in suf ficient boiling water to cover until tender, adding One onion, One carrot, One faggot of soup herbs to the water. Now lift the breast confidently. "She'd rather spend all our money on the boy. She has an allowance to run tho house and dress and she al ways stays within It." When Scott asked Ruth to go out and spend the following Sunday at Sunny Beach, Long Island, Ruth demurred at first and then decided to go. The day was lovely and they arrived at the little bungalow about noon. The ugly little living room was bright with sunlight, a fat baby sprawled on the floor. There was an air of untidiness about the place and very little taste shown in the furnishings, but Grace Merrltt herself, In a blue serge dress very much the worse for wear and with a great deal of lint all over it, whether she was dropping down on the rug to hug the baby or hurrying out to tho kitchen to see to the dinner, was quite ciiarmlng. Ruth could not help liking ner. Whilo Arthur Merrltt showed Scott the Incipient vegetable garden Ruth sat In a shabby chair near the window and looked out. The little street was unlv. Cheap little bungalows similar to this one lined it on either side. The Mer ritts' house was near the end of the street and more houses were being con structed up above. There was a con spicuous absence of green everywhere and there was a nnrrow boardwalk on either side of the street that squashed up mud between Its cracks when one walked on It Ruth thought the outlook Inexpressibly dreary. In her simple but expensive street dress and her squirrel coat she felt out of place In this little house. She sud denly wished she hadn't come. In a fly ing dash from the kitchen, Ruth studied Grace Merrltt critically. She had nos- simiiues, lovely hair and beautiful teeth, but simply no Idea of how to dress. But what difference did It make. Ruth thought of herself, whether Mrs. Merrltt dressed or not? Burled out here In this ugly place her Ufa would prob ably go on forever in a dull routine. She would meet people who lived Just as uninteresting lives as she did. She would go to houses just as untidy and ugly as this one, and yet she was satis fled, happy. Instead of making Ruth ashamed of her own discontent, It Irri tated her to kpow that there were women In the world like Grace Merrltt (In the neat chapter Scott mskes up his mind to certain thtnr.)

Children Who Can't Write An alarming percentage of Illiteracy among certain groups of working chil dren Is disclosed In figures made public today by the children's bureau. United Mates Department of Labor. These figures are based on the experience of the bureau In Issuing federal certificates of nge to children coin? to work in n in states where state certificates were not acceptable for the purposes of the for mer federal child labor law. More than one-fourth, or 6294, of the 10, fHG children between fourteen nnd sixteen years of age. to whom certificates were Issued by tho children's bureau, could not sign their own names legibly. The majority of the states provide that children shall stay In school until they are fourteen years of age, and the Amer ican theory Is that n, normal child will have completed the eighth grade by that time. In the five states where federal comucntes were issued Dy me cnuarcn's bureau, 18,379 white children between fourteen and sixteen years old were cer tificated. Only 74 2 of them had reach ed the eighth grnde In school. Of 1166 colored children to whom certificates were Issued only forty reached the eighth grade. In other words, 96 per cent of the white children nnd 97 per cent of the colored children granted certificates had not reached tho eighth grade In school. In some states a child can not secure a work-permit until he Is sixteen yenis old unless he has completed the eighth grade. Only 248. or 1.1 per cent, of the total number of children certlfl cated could have met such a requirement because they alone, of the children certi ficated, had attained the ninth grade or higher, FOOT ami r.niD Titnuii: jiu.i',1 Instantly relieved by our special arch supports, fitted and adjusted by experts.

Please Tell Me What to Do By CYNTHIA Send Her Candy Dear Cynthia -Have been friends with a young girl for about eight months nnd she has asked me to her homo to spend an evening occasionally, about twice a month. Is It proper for me to give her a bpx of candy once In a while when calling? Isn't It proper for a girl to ask her boy friends to her home to spend an evening? When passing on the street who should speak first, boy or B'rl? CHARLES. It would be very nice to send the young girl, or rather to take her, a box of candy now and again when calling. It Is usual for a boy to ask a girl If he may call. After he has and she has sa d thnt ho may, It Is usual for her to ask him to come again, after his first call. Usually the girl speaks first, but In 'he case of good friends It would be roollsh to wait for ceremonious customs to always bo carried out. Be natural, ns the quotation goes, "that Is the key note of good manners." Stepmother Unkind? Dorothy V, My dear little girl, how about taking a different point of view about jour stepmother? You tell me your sister Is very high-spirited and per haps she Is a little too aggressive with the new stepmother. What do you think? You see, you and your sister have had your own way a long tlmo and sometimes a young girl's or a little gins way is not nlwayn the best way, and It Is well to submit to an older person's Judgment. Try, for jour father's sake, to like this new mother nnd be liatlent nnd sweet, nnd do not encourage the older sister to rebel. If your father thinks his wife is right she probably Is. and j-ou nnd j-our sister are too excited nnd upset oer the whole matter to be quite fair. Try mildness and politeness nnd always be respectful. You will soon win jour new mother and be happy.

What to Order Dear Cynthia I hnve recently moved here from tho Canndlnn wheat region, so, of course, do not know all of the customs of city life yet. As I cannot dance very well as yet, I have'heen Invited out to luncheon, tea, dinner and to the theatre a great deal. After living on a ranch all my life I really do not know of all the things I should order at tea or nfter the theatre, etc. Now, Cynthia, I surely would appre ciate It If you would help me out. AUDREE. If j-ou are Invited out j-our hostess or host will do the ordering, but If you take some other girls to tea, for In stance, ask them first what they would like and If they say "Anything" sug gest tea, hot or cold : orangeade or lemonade, toast and Jam or cinnamon toast or French pastry, whichever kind of thing your guests may prefer. If J-ou give a dinner or luncheon at a hotel order beforehand, with the waiter's assistance, or ask him to sug gest something for luncheon at the time. A luncheon can consist of two, three or four courses, even more If you want It to be elaborate. Usunlly a cup of soup, some light meat like a chop, squab, broiled or creamed chicken and one vegetable, a snlad. a sweet and I coffee afterward would be quite suffi cient. She's for Smoking Dear Cj-nthla For the life of me I ennnot see what is to prevent a woman who has adopted one of man's most cherished and delectable prerogatives from enjoying tho same and j-et re maining what your correspondent "Just a Man" terms a "lady." Hiding my blushes behind anonymity I confess that I smoke and have done so for some years I Not after the manner of the soft-coal furnace, ns Is presalent among the sterner sex, but to a modest and moderate degree, such, for instance, ns is noticed in a tiny village or hamlet where one sees a dalntj-, fleecy, grace fully curling vapor Issuing from the chimney of some charming cottage, be tokening the abiding place of content ment nnd hospltalltj-. Having Indulged to this mild extent, I have never J-et found that I have Jeopardized In any way my manners, my morals or my reputation, neither have I over done so from the desire to be "gay," but I have found the same agreeable tranquillzatlon of spirit as that claimed by men. I have never smoked In public places because I shrank from the criticism of such selfish persons as your friend "Just a Man," for the reason that he, In con Junction with many of his sex, finding In It such Bolace for the mind, rest for the tired nerves and satisfaction for the entire body, resents Its beln- shared by those who, In their estimation, are not entitled to Its benefits. I have smoked with my husband and his friends, not neglecting to mention clergymen, who found nothing to decrj-. I have enjoyed r olearette with women whoBe refine ment of appearance, nature or actions could never be questioned : women whose children were freely admitted to the room and who thought no eU nnd evinced no surprise. On the other hand, I have met women who would drink any liquid refreshment or combination of llquldB that could be Concocted on the face of the globe with the greatest freedom and In any place, public or private, and yet would stapd aghast nnrt shocked at the mention of a ciga rette. To my mind It was simply "straining at a gnat, etc. As for "swearing," which "Just a Man" also claims to be "lawful only for men," I really never understood It was "lawful" for any one, no matter what the gender. I never gathered the Im pression that the Ten Commandments made any special proviso on the subject or that the plainly set down "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy rinA In vain' gave any loopnoie wnicn would permit a mun 10 hub such n foolish delusion to his breast. , "As long as the world rolls along," says Mr. "JuBt a Man," "there will be outward qualities that will distinguish men and those that will distinguish women," but If your correspondent will only keep his eyes open he will find that SB tne WUI1U ,j..B u,w.., uiiu i imo rolled pretty briskly of late, there are moth-eaten Ideas stored up In his "gar ret" which would be advisable, for him to get rid of.

I ' Beaded batkets with tiny bright flowers form novel trimming for this talTeta dress. The neck has an air of youth about it A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose A the February openings, so recently held In Paris, nothing was more Inter esting to those who viewed the collec tions than the various waj-s In which that old stand-by, taffeta, was employed In the making of tho spring frocks. It wasn't because thero was anything new In the use of tnffeta for women's dresses, but because nearly every ono had ex pected something qblte different from anything we hnd used before. As taffeta had so recently been In vogue In Amer ica, Imported frocks of - taffeta could scarcely be expected to create any great sensation this spring. And I am sorry to say that many view clothes from a sensational standpoint, Instead of from that of likable details which most of the American women admire In clothes. Women do like taffeta, aside from the fact fhat some years no)lt had a reputation for cracking. This, however, has been overcome by the textile makers, and there Is no reason to believe that a taffeta of good quality will have the tendency to split as It did some j-ears ago, when the American manufacturers first tried their hand nt Its making. The same rule that applies to other ma terials also holds good In purchasing taffeta if one expects wear and satis faction from taffetn, then it Is necessary to buy the best. The designers have done much this season to take away that old look which has very often beeii a great drawback to the attractiveness of the taffeta frocks. Special attention haB been given to tho neckline nnd the trimming of the taffeta dresses by using both ihe youthful neckline and trimmings. TniB is 'illustrated In tho drawing todaj where beaded ornnments In the shape of baskets filled with bright flowers deco rate the pointed tunic and tne lowered waistline. The neck Is square and fin ished with a plaiting of net. The hat Is of llsere straw. A ribbon of bright hluo encircles tho crown and ties at the back In a soft bow, A pink rose trims the front.
