LOVE ISN'T
A THING TO
BE DERIDED
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

There is nothing that makes me
angrier than to hear jokes and
cheap witticisms directed at the
man or the girl who is in love.
1t does not make me any the less
angry to reflect that these would
be wits are really not funny or
clever, but only shallow minded
and coarse.
l suppose l might forgive the
jokes of brothers and sisters, for
there is always more or less Of
family teasing among them, but l
can't forgive the mother and
father.
Consider, If you please, what love
really is. 1t is the one time in our
whole little lives that the divine
miracle actually touches us. Out
of all the world there comes some
one person who, without any APP
parent reason. is the one to make
us wholly happy. Some one has
written:
Loves dearest moment Is far
back, far back.
When first they looked into each
others eyes,
And in the silence knew that love
was come"
THE EcSTATlC MOMENT.
Is there any moment in life that
touches this for pure ecstacy
Laugh If you will and make your
mean little petty jokes, but true
love is the most wonderful. the

selfish thing in life. Hasn't it,
then, any right to be kept sacred
and unspoiled by any ribald jests?
I think it has.
1t is not alone the wooing of the
maid that Is made a misery by
friends and family, but on the we'd
ding day itself many a young man
and woman are the victims Of the
most cruel and coarse practical
jokes.
It is not for us to laugh at any
one who is in love. We should envy
them. For they have something
more fine and more exquisite than
those who have never loved will
ever experience.

vahdal fingers into its heart, would

wasn't grabbed, like most folks
would be living alone with col
Ored cook, and he wasn't easy"
Someone ventured once to say that
the judge had an individuality.
The little girl who had come to
live in the little house whose strip
of garden went bravely out to the
street between the two yards got
to watching for the tall spare fig
ure whenever her mother left for
work downtown. She would sit
at the side windows with her cat,

be a lady-in.waiting to the princess.
But Thomas did not, and Alice,

and she screamed. "Oh, you're after
pretty bird, you have-I'll tell
the king" as the cat shot ur
the limb above her, and she revert

The Judge had heard the scream
and bounded off the porch like a
boy. He looked around for mo-

Alice screamed again, quite like any

Pink pancakes!

NO, uOu lauBn, TOT IL is true.
They are the latest word In the cul-
mary world, and they are the rage
in Europe and the east. Some are
even being served in Spokane at
the most swagger social functions
of the elite.
For that is the use of pink pam
cakes. They are not for breakfast.
No, no; not they! Pink pancakes
are unsubstantial trifles, suitable
for a luncheon, chatting dish sup
per or Sunday night tea. Here Is
how the pink pancake, which looks
like delicate confectionery served
hot, is made:
Take the yolks of four eggs, two
tablespoons of flour, two of cream
and one of sugar, with enough juice
extracted from boiled beets to color
and strawberry extract to flavor.
The pink pancake Is baked the size
of silver dollar and Is served with
a strip made from confectionery
sugar or with strawberry preserve.
Crepe pancakes are also luxuries
to sight and taste. They consist of
two beaten eggs, one half cup of
cream, two ounces of sugar, but no
flour. They are fried on griddle
brushed with melted butter, and
served with thin sections Of lemon.
Baked pancakes are more sub
stantial. but quite as novel. The
ingredients are three beaten eggs,
six ounces Of sugar and an equal
amount of flour, two ounces of but
ter, and milk to make a thin batter.
The cakes are baked ten minutes
on we'll buttered tins and are then
piled up like layer cake, with a
filling of orange marmalade.
