THE FEATURELESS FLAPPERS

THE tlapper is not to be con-
l. demned per Sc because she is
a flapper.
But she is to be criticized be-
cause Of the methods she uses
to become a fapper.
If you mean by a lapper an
unsophisticated, innocent, child,
like young girl, with the legiti-
mate child short dress, curly
hair, red cheeks, bounding spirit,
then let nature make the flap
per.
The artificial flapper of today
is disgusting, and to Gn honest,
serious man she is an object Of
pity.
She has used artificial means.
She is using the cosmetics that
destroy her skin, rob her of the
distinctive features that belong
to the sweet girl. Ese is a feG-
tureloSS creature. she is an un-
attractive person. She is an OBJ
ject of pity. She is a female
deserving the protection and
prayers of honest people.
The drug store cannot produce
natures rose and hang it on the
check of a girl. No artificial
power has ever been able to put
the flash in the human eye, or
the sweetness in the human soul,
or the magnetism in the human
heart. The moving dummies,
the drug store flappers, the cos
metic females are hideous, pitt
able, and featureIeSS.
The mothers of the country
are responsible for tho feature
less girl and for the destruction
of female beauty. God have
mercy on the country when the
fedttreleSS flGpper becomes the
social queen.

love cake. So. with my mind running
on cake, l viii pass on to you the in
formation CLEANED when l was young,
concerning How to Make Cake" 1
went to the sources-the best cake
makers l knew, and having once
taught school, / set it down in peda
gogical style,
HOW TO Make CAKE.
1. Number OF Eggs.
a. The best of cakes may be made
with one-half an egg.
b. At least two eggs are necessary.
=. Method OF Mixing.
a. Beat yolks and whites separately,
folding whites in last to make
light feathery cake.
b. Light, feathery cake may be
made by beating tIe whole egg
together as usual.
3. Beating.
a, Best results are obtained by beat
ing the cake-miXture for five
minutes
b. Beating the mixture breaks the
air-cells. and makes a coarse
texture cake, Always stir in
one direction.
NJ. b. TWO
4. Order of Procedure.
a. The success of the cake depends
entirely upon the order in
which the ingredients are put
together.
b. The best of cakes are obtained by
putting everything in at once
and mixing all up together.
:. Shortening.
a. Chicke fat for shortening makes
a cake not to be equalled.
b. 1t doesn't make any difference
what you use for shortening
oil, even mot kerosene).
After re-reading these authenticity
culIed Greatly and trulyD directions,
who wouldn't have confessed herself
somewhat mixed or beaten, too? l
Just hope that Farm Bureau lady
reads this.
