theater and I'm really not anxious, even
in the cause Of economy, to disturb our
regular plan OF celebrating In some spo-
clal way the birthday Of each member Of
the family as it comes around.
''I quite agree with you," was Henry S
reply. IF we concentrate on a few
occasions and make them real events
we really don't seem as destitute OF
recreation as Belle is always trying to
make us believe we are"

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERs

horrified tone what ridiculous ex-
preston and how absurd for Alice Briggs
to make such a remark"
well, she did" Insisted Helen. "Her
mother doesn't believe IN them"
"I don't think 1t Is Just the thing for
you little girls to discuss your mothers"
continued Mrs. Hooper, with a note OF
reprimand In her voice.
But every ones mother is so djf-
fsrent," persisted Helen, ''fts lots OF fun

things for you all to talk about, 1
know"
"Oh. very wen, mother" promised
Helen trif1e sullenly, "but all the other
girls do It,"
Mrs. Hooper was again disturbed at
Helen's flash of lawlessnesa, and
wondered If It might be traced to out
! side association or neglect Of school dis
cipline, whether she herself had been
remlss, or whether It might be some In
berent and unsuspected trait breaking
out in the child. She determined to have
a very serious talk with the child psy-
chologist on Friday.
The bride had asked her for another
recipe for hot bread. as her young hus-
band had expressed a great fondness for
il every morning, and she was eager to
have a great variety so that he could
decide on few things that he really
liked best She then intended to stick
to those and perfect herself in the max
ing of them
Mrs. Hooper's family enjoyed very
much a southern buttermilk bread that
she made for them, and before settling
down to her sewing for the afternoon
she wrote out the following recipe for
the bride:
SOUTHERN BUTTERMTLK BREAD.
Mix together two cups of corn meal,
one cup of -four, half a teaspoon Of
sugar. Place In a bowl one cup of but
termilz, stir in half teaspoon of bak-
| Ing soda and when 1t foams up add the
dry ingredients with one lightly beaten
egg. Beat the batter we'll, add four table

milk. Pour into a hot creased pan and
bake quickly in a hot oven.
