these cakes and the tapping of them
over as the cakes are turned on the
Sriddle. 1t is this skillful turning of
cakes that gives them their Significa mt

Tossing and Serving.
1t is recognized culinary feat to
toss a cake high in the air and have II
land on the griddle in just the right
spot. The already baked side must he

when it was lifted. To he sure this
tossing of the pancakes is a feat. not a
necessity-mere turning is sufficient.
Griddle cakes make excellent accom-
paniments for baked or fried SauSages.
No butter is required with them The
richness of the meat is sufficient. but
they call for maple sirup or a light
corn sirEp.
Pancakes for Dessert.
A more unusual way of serving pan
cakes is for dessert. Then the cakes
should be as large as three ordinary
ones. One for il person is sufficient
The cakes should be buttered and the
Sirup poured over them. and then the
cake folded lightly over lise an omelet
and served piping hot. Add this to
your list of desserts. for 1t Is bit

What I TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
adverse until just prior to noon, when,
for A short time, they become quite
favorable. Before dusk. however, they
again revert to the adverse stage and
continue so for the rest of the day.
1t is an inauSpiCious occasion for travel
or for the making of any radical
changes. Rather il is eXpedient t.
contine ones attention to customary
duties. There will be sensed during
the greater part of the day. 4 feeling
of nervousness and gruuchinesS. There
will be present the temptation 10 say
and do things impulsively. and. unless
unpleaSanlneSs is desired. every effort
must be made 10 check those unto
ward tendencies.

will demand unremittin- attention and
vicilant care. \ boy. on the other
hand. will he rather weak during his
babyhood. but. once this stage is pass
ed will cause no further trouble on
physical grounds. In character and
disposition both hoy and girl will. at
very early age. display signs of pre-
cociousness and an unsiahable thirst
for knowledge. They will possess
strong personalitioi. and he leaders
among their friends and associates.
With such pronounced characteristics.
it is not surprising to realize that they
will be rather domineering.
If tomorrow is your birthday. YOU
do not possess that calm thought and
mature deliberative judgment which
are usually considered essentials of
success. You are very excitable. en-
treme in your views. and liable to lose
Your temper without rhyme or reason.
Your Imagination is great, but. in
spite of your erratic temperament. YOU
arc energetic and capable. You have
marked executive talent. although
Your eXcita bility often detracls from
The effectiveness of your work. You
do not place very high value on the
opinions of others. but are. TO GER
tain extent. self-SatiShed and self-re
liant. Your mind lis keen and disCrimi

often runs riot.

Almonds for the Christmas cookies

or from the Golden State. Those who
