When smooth add half a cup of rich milk and half a,cup of melted butter. Stir hard, then add one tablespoonful of baking powder and bake quickly. Bake in the serving dish, as it is too soft for turning out, requiring to be dipped on the plates with a spoon. * • • BROWN GINGER STRIPS—Ten cups flour, one and one half cups sugar (brown), tthree cups bes New Orleans molasses, one and one hafl teaspoonfuls soda, two tea ppoonfuls cinnamon, one and one half teaspoonfuls butter, one tea epoonful Fait. l'ut lard, susar and molasses in a dish and heat until melted. Then add the rest. Mix like bread, night anl morning for eight days. Then cut oft strips one-fourth by three inches or roll out and cut with a cut ter one and three-fourths inches in diameter. Bake in a slow oven. Keep them in covered pails or jars. Ihave some that I baked four months ago and they are delicious.— Mothers' Magazine. • * * ENGLISH PANCAKES—One tea cupful of flour, one tablespoonful of baking powder and a pinch of salt sifted together. Beat together two eggs and one tablespoonful of sugar and one pint of milk and one teaspoonful of cream. Add this to the flour mixture to make a thin batter. Fry in a hot frying pan with melted butter, using sufficient bat ter to cover the pan. • • • CELERY COQUETTES Cook together a rounding table spoonful of flour and one of butter. When they bubble pour upon them a cup of inilk. When this is thick and free from lumps pour it grad ually upon the beaten yolks of two eggs. Now add a cupful of celery cut(not chopped) into tiny bits, rea son with celery salt and white pep per a>.d turn out cool. When cold, form with floured hands into small croquettes. Roll these In cracker dust and set them aside for an hour before frying in deep, boiling fat. ». • » BRUNETTE POTATOES. Peel potatoes and cut them into neat squares. Lay In cold water for an hour, drain and put them over the fire in salted, boiling water. Stew until they are tender, but not soft. Turn into a colander to drain. Cook together in a saucepan a heap ing teaspoonful each of butter and browned flour, and pour upon them a pint of weak beef stock. Whe.n you have a smooth thick sauce, sea son with pepper, salt and a little on ion juice. Put the potatoes into this, stir and toss for a moment, then turn all into a greased pudding dish, sprinkle crumbs on the top and brown >in a good oven. DON'T FORGET A little minced ham added to the om !et makes a savory change. • • • Small sweet peppers are excellent mixed with celery in a potatj salad. • • * Vegetables which grow under the ground should be cooked with the lid on. • * • Breaded veal served with tomato sauce and spaghetti makes a delic ious dish. • • • Clean nickel and silver pieces with ammonia applied with a flan nel cloth. ' • • • Black stockings should rinsed in blue water to give them a good color. • • • Discolored gilt frames ran ho brightened if rubbed with a sponge dipped in turpentine. Think What You Think Because You Think It Do you think what you think, be cause you think it, or because somebody else thinks it? Do you like certain books because you like them, or because somebody else likes them? Do you go Into ecstatic deliriums over certain great musical artists because you yourself appreciate them, or because they're the fash- Ion? Do you choose your friends be cause you like them, or because everybody else likes them ? Do you live your own life as you really would map it out yourself, or do you outline it by the pattern the general public has accepted? In short, are you honest with yourself, with the world, with your own life? These are questions which any woman might well consider in thsse days when public sentiment, and convention form so large a part in the shaping of our lives. And they are questions the honest answering of which would completely trans form the pocial fabric. For as a matter of fact, people generally, and women in particular live almost entirely with reference to public opinion. They seem afraid to state their own views, to think their owij thoughts, to live their own lives, because of the unrelent ing bonds of convention. It is as though one set rule were laid down for the patterning of all lives, and deviation were permissible only by very ineffective little variations, no more important than the frills to the general lines of a gown. But that's not reasonable. It's not sane. It's not honest. Presum ably God has given a brain. And He's given her a heart, a soul, a conscience. It's her duty to make the most of them. That means that its woman's duty to think for herself, to act for her self, and to live accordingly. It does not mean that every woman should follow in the wall of every other woman along the lines laid down by convention. Such a course means only stultification, and the woman who follows It must become more or less a parasite, sinco all her mental and spiritual life Is de pendent alone upon those who sur round her, and most of all conven tion. So thinlr your own thoughts, make your own decisions, live your own life. Be honest.
