Cream Puffs and How

CREAM puffs make an admir-

And II they are carefully
home made, they are sure to be
good. or course. cream puffs from
some pastry shops are better than
any homemade cream puffs. per-

homemade cream puff
is delicious.
Follow the directions carefully,
exactly, IL you are a novice at
making the puffs. Don't skimp
time or marteials, and you will be
sure 10 have success.
Here Is one recipe, which calls
for milk. The usual recipe calls
instead for water. Put two table
spoons OF sugar, cup of milk and
a third of cup of best butter on
the stove in a saucepan. When
it reaches the boiling point add a
cup OF flour all at once, and stiI

In fact many persons prefer to sleep

Of their fragrance of fresh air and

then fold them with care. they are

You may like the feeling of under
wear OF muslin, but if you wish to

select either knitted cotton or Isle

You need hardly be told that
everyday suits for children may be

Is a Budget
= Necessary

ONE thing you should always
remember before planning
~ any elaborate system OF
bookkeeping or budget making for
your household money ia that
these things take time. Where
time Is limited and every bit OF
strength IS called upon just in
getting through the daily work.
then be sure that the bookkeeping
or budget is not sufficiently help
full 10 be worth while. The
woman who refuses to- go to bed
after n hard day of housework un-
I'll she has balanced her account.
even though 1t may take a half
hour or more, is making unneces-
sary work for herself. OF course
il you derive real entertainment
from this sort of thing, all very
well. But few women really dc
enjoy household bookkeeping.
Some women have a sort of in.
tuition about money matters.
Without ever keeping any rec
ord of money spent they can keeI
well within suitable boundaries il
their spending. They could no
tell you just what they spend OF
meat per month. They could no
tell you how much their ice bill
was last summer. They could no
guess even remotely at how man,
pounds OF coffee they consume il
a month or year, and yet the,
often are the very women VIII
never run into any sort OF extray
agance.
The motto of these womel
seems to be that constant care il
using and spending makes the oc
casional reckoning up unneces
. sary.
But there are other women VIII
seem to find it almost necessary t
put the thing down in figures
They are the ones who find
} budget OF great value. Without !
they might run into extravaganza
But always remember that /

ing to be gained from the mer
, keeping of accounts. The onl
T benefit is to be gained from tn
thrift that this makes possible.

demand for made-over meat or
fish dishes, and surely decided
preference for simple dishes
I should not be sacrificed to the de-
sire TO make use OF left-overs for
breakfast. If members OF your
family prefer simple cereals and
eggs for breakfast you will prob
ably make mistake TO try TO feed
them fish cakes made from yester-

yesterdays roast.
IL you personally thrive better
on a simple luncheon, salad
bread and milk, fresh fruit, soft

sort that is easy to prepare and
easy TO digest-do not feel under
