"lyTANY requests have come to me
' to repent the recipe for sticky
cinnamon buns. To make the buns,
set the following dough. Place in a
mixing bowl '
One cup of water, 80 degrees Fah
renheit, Three tablespoons of malted milk,
Two tablespoons of sugar or sirup,
One tablespoon of shortening,
One teaspoon of salt.
Crumble in one-half yeast cake
and stir until thoroughly dissolved.
Now add two cups of flour and then
beat to a smooth batter and then add
two cups more flour. Knead to a
dough and then grease a bowl well
with shortening and place in the
dough; press down firmly against
the bottom of the bowl and then turn
over, so as to grease thoroughly with
shortening. Set in a place about 80
degress Fahrenheit, to rise for three
and one-half hours. Then punch
down the dough, turn it over and let
rise for one hour. Turn on a mold
ing board and roll out one-quarter
inch thick. Spread with shortening,
brown sugar and currants and dust
well with cinnamon.
Now roll up as for jelly roll, then
cut into pieces one and one-half
inches thick. Now grease an iron
baking pan well and cover the bot
tom one-half inch deep with brown
sugar. Sprinkle with currants and
then set the buns in this pan, to rise
for one and one-quarter hours. Bake
In slow oven for thirty-five minutes
and turn out on greased tray as soon
as taken from the oven. Brush the
sirupy top with cold water.
Do not set the dough to rise on the
radiator or over the range. It must
be in a place free from draft and
about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I
have found that by warming the
oven of the range (gas) for three
minutes and then turning the burn
ers out, I get an ideal place in which
to set the dough while it is rising.
When ready to turn the dough on
a board, to roll out, do not handle at
all. Just take the dough from the
bowl and roll out at once, using the
rolling pin.
I Rings
Prepare in the same manner as
for cinnamon buns and when rolled'
and ready to cut, cut in slices three
quarter inch thick. Place on well
greased and floured pan two inches
apart. Brush the top with egg an J
milk; wash and sprinkle thickly with
finely chopped peanuts. Let rise for
thirty-five minutes and then bake in
moderate oven for twenty minutes.
Remove from oven, brush the tops
lightly with milk and dip in con
fectioner's sugar.
Cinnamon buns can be made by
using a baking powder mixture.

with the yeast mixture. Place in a

tablespoons of shortening and mix to
a dough with seven-eights cup of

from pan or greased tray as soon as
removed from oven.
Currant Rings
Prepare as for cinnamon buns,
made with baking powder and then
cut in half-inch slices. Place two
inches apart on well-greased and
floured baking sheet. Wash with
mixture made as follows: Place in a
cup
Two tablespoons of evaporated
milk,

Beat to mix and then cover the

Use one tablespoon of melted

About Dolls 'n' Everything
Dear Cynthia I nm n dally reader
of the Evening 1'cw.io LEiximt mid
omrtliiics run nenrn jour column.
nell, to beclu with, some arc O. K.,
out some arc so silly thnt I cannot find
words to eiprevs myself.
Thus, take the Rlrl thnt writes that
lie Is snrntren jears old, well liked
by the opposite se and is good -look -lK.
Well, 1 would like to see them
when they admit themselves tlmt tlic.i
nrc pretty !
..Another writes "llcenuso I did not
Kiss liim he became angry at me."
Now. Cynthia, I believe I will have to
g" nculn-t jimr belief about klsslw:
because I enn see no harm In it, and
a kiss now and then Is appreciated by
ii regular fellow, and when I sny regu
lar fellow I mean one that does not
advertise it.
Then comes my point. It's about
these so called "vamps" and stnv-nt-home
girls. Well. I think the girls that
wrltengolnst the "vninp" are only work
ing against themselves, because hy and
by they will really think they are
vamps," and to date I ran snv I
never have seen a "vamp," although
wu see i lot of girls that think thev
ire "vninps," but they are not, they're
fools."
Then comes the argument about the
girls painting nnd using ponder, and In
today s column some one who signed
her article "A Doll" wants some one
to reply to her vision of dolls. Well, I
can't see wlij so many people are down
on the girl that indulges in paint and
powder, but when I snv indulge I don't
mean for them to look like nn "Indian,"
beenuse I think a little make-up now
and then helps to make n girl look more
nent nnd brighter, nnd nnyhow you
ean't hate a girl beenusc she wants to
look nttriicthc, as long ns she does not
overdo it.
Anyway, you can't tell. a girl by her
face, because I've met some girls that
use the drug store remedy who arc far
better personally than some pnintle--i
girls, nnd all I want to sec is for some
one to answer this, and if a debate is
-es-ary, I will furnWi them with
same. 1 A. S., 22.
'Buck' Answers 'Paint and Powder'
Dear Cynthia I will attempt to an
swer the letter signed "1'nint and
Powder" through ur worthy column,
if I may he excused for intruding again.
"Paint and Powder." jnu really Hat
ter me when you nsk for my opinion
on your two questions, but I will be
accommodating and try to answer.
Personally, I feel the same about
beauty spots as I do about paint and
powder, so far as the decency of it is
concerned. If it improves our looks,
there certainly is no sin connected witli
it, so I don't see whv there should be
any 'kick." lint tlieic is this much
about Beauty spots: Thev do not be
come all girls, ns rosy cheeks do, and
they nre not the "rnge" any more,
ns they were a few jeais ago. It is
seldom that one sees them now. So I
should think they were not so essential
to beautv as a cood comnlexion. If
ou will notice, all the really beautiful
women nave a fair complexion, tint few
have beauty spots. However, they look
"cute" on some girls, nnd it is a
matter of judgment ns to whether they
improve jour looks or not. Hut I be
lieve it is perfectly proper, and we all
remember thnt at the time beauty snots
weie at their height they were being
worn by the most refined girls. A good
many girls (not nil) who say it is im
proper to use paint, powder and beauty
spots are those blessed with a natural
complexion, and when they see girls
vho were "behind trees when com
plexions were given out" with an ar
tificial complexion which looks nlmost
ns nlee ns theirs, n little jealousy creeps
in. They are haughty and would rather
"rub it in."
About kissing a fellow whose ring
you have : Having a fellow's fraternitj
Pin or ring should not alter the kissing
question one way or another, I should
think, whatever jour idea on the
kissing question mny have been be
fore j ou had Ills ring should be con
tinued now. Personally, I don't favor
promiscuous kissing ninong people win
are not engaged, or, nt least, long-time
friends, but I'm getting off the subject
As I have said before, I wouldn't
hntc nny one for taking or giving a
kiss if my memory hnsn't failed me
I don't believe I've lost many oppor
tunities, but you know how it is the
opinion thnt people nre forming of gills
who allow it not the kiss, but what it
lends to, etc. You undoubtedly hac
your own idens about the kissing ques
tion, so nil I will say is this: If I
didn't believe in kissing I wouldn't let
the fact thnt I hnd some fellow' ring
have anything to do with altering my
ideas.
Maybe some of the other readers will
give jou their opinions, but let us hear
from you ngaln. girls. I am a school
boy again myself and only a couple of
years older than you. Iit'l'K.

Could I sell it? rt is in good condi
tion and would you advise me where
to sell or would you advise me to have

Sly advice about tho cane is by all
means to have it altered for yourself.

year, you know, nnd furs arc so ex

a Rood one. You could have It made

are very popular and look well with n

they take the place of a long coat witli

havo such a thing. I am sure you
would be better repaid by having it re
modeled than by selling it.

Since your brother is to live at home

If he is thinking of having a house
of bis own some time In the near fu

nice. too. like a watch chain, or a pair
of gold cuff links, or a pretty scarf

ELSIE CAN ALWAYS THINK
OF SOMETHING NICE TO SAY
i
And She Makes Such Sugary Remarks That Her Friends Get
Tired of' Talking to Her
ELSIH can always find something
sweet to say about everything that
happens and everybody who passes.
She can always think up a nice re
mark, no matter how disagreeable the
subject is. A group of her friends were
discussing another girl one 'time, n girl
who was conceited, self-conscious nnd
boy-crazy. You know how girls talk
about that kind of a girl I
"She's so fond of herself," one of
them complained.
"Well, I could stand that, because
lots of girls are'-that way, but she's
so conscious of herself all the time,"
broke in another. "Why, every time
she moves her head she knows just how
she looks, and "
"And ifjshc thinks there's a man in
the room who doesn't know just how
she looks she does something to attract
his attention," finished a third. "She
makes me sick. Why "
"She lias a lovely disposition," Hlsie
asserted, conscientiously. The meeting
broke up in disgust.
On her way up the steps of the house
where she was going to a card pnrty,
Klsio tripped one day, Btepped on the
skirt of her brand new sill dress, nnd
tore an ugly gash across the front
breadth. Almost any girl would have
spluttered, just a little. "Oh!" can't
you hear her gasp, "my new dress,
ruined! Just wait till I get home and
my mother sees thnt! Why can't peo
ple straighten their nasty old'-steps in
stead of having them so crooked that
everybody that goes up them has to fall
down and tear their best dress I feel
like such a fool going in there with
this " nnd so on.
Elsie caught herself daintily when
she fell up tho steps. "Oh, my!" she
exclaimed in n regretful tone. "Well,
I guess there's no one to blame but me.
Careless! Hut it will be all right with
a few stitches." she added, with a
heroic smile. And she went on up the
steps like a martyr entering the arena.

pONVEUSATIOX with Elsie is diffl
cult. "Aren't you sick and tired of
this warm, cloudy weather?" some one
asks her In an unguarded moment.
"Oh, we can't have sunshine all the
time," replies Elsie, obviously trying
to pull her friend up to her own heights
of kindly feeling toward the world, the
weather and everything in sight.
"Isn't it awful 'the way things cost
now?" cries nn outraged shopper.
"Oh. well," Elsie returns, lightly.
"We just have to make the best of it.
I guess we're better off without some
of tho things thnt we used to have."
Docs Elsie live in your black books,
too? Do you know thnt smile nnd'
those kind-hearted remarks that make

much sirup on your hot cakes?
Wouldn't you just love to do something
to make Elsie "mad qlean through,"
and then sit by and hear her for onci
sar something really sincere, even if it
is ill-natured?
