When They're Rolled

You can vary the filling for rolled
pancakes. For one thing, there is
a cheese filling made of cream
seasoned with sugar and cinnamon.
This is placed on the pancake as you
roll it The whole thing, of course.
Is eaten hot. That is requisite
with all pancakes.
You might try this: Make
medium sized pancakes and wrap
each one around a little sausage
or sausage meat cooked in a small
roll. These would be, surely, a
great success at the sort Of party
In the evening where rather elab-
crate refreshments. and something
different are desired.
You can make buckwheat pan
cakes with yeast, or with baking
powder. With baking powder. use
little molasses. Buckwheat cakes,
however, would be less sure of well
come at party, for there are some
persons who do not like the char
acteristic buckwheat flavor.
RICE grlddle cakes are delicious
with honey. To make them. pour
one cup of scalded milk over one
cup of cooked rice and let it stand
all night or for six or seven hours
In the day if you want them in the
evening. Then add two we'll beaten
eggs. one and half cups OF flour,
enc teaspoon salt, one tablespoon
sugar and, last of all, one cup Of
cold milk and a tablespoon OF melted
butter. Drop a tablespoon of the
batter at time on a hot griddle
creased with a piece of salt pork or
some other fat. When it is full of
bubbles, turn quickly and carefully
with turner. Cook on the other
side. Serve hot.

Plain GriddIe Cakes

Here is a good recipe for regular
rriddle cakes. made with white
-four and sweet milk:
sift together two cups of f1our,
four teaspoons Of baking powder,
half a teaspoon Of salt Beat two
eggs and mix with two cups of milk
and add carefully TO the dry in
gradients, so that smooth batter
results Then add one tablespoon
Of melted butter. Drop the batter
nv spoonfuls on a hot griddle, well
creased. When they are filled with
bubbles. turn and bake on the other
side.
There are of course many varia-
tons on these griddle cakes. The
real way for making FRENCH pan
cakes is not on a griddle at all, but
in the oven. The nat little cakes
are spread with jam or jelly and
rolled or turned half over. But
very good So-called French pan
cake can be made from regular
American sriddle- cake batter, with
q little sugar and an extra table
spoon OF butter added. The pan
cakes should bc made rather small,
and then spread with jam or jelly
and rolled before sending TO the
table.
English people make their pan
CAKES very large, sprinhel them With
sugar, and then roll them.
German pancakes are sometimes
cooked i'll skillet, sometimes IN the
oven. They are eaten with sugar
and apple sauce. with jelly, or with
syrup. Try making little pancakes
sometime in August and serving
them with apple sauce made from
early apples. You will find the
combination quite tempting.

Be Careful of Coiors

Look well to the coiors of the
blankets you buy. Red stripes are
pretty, but they sometimes run. And
blankets that will not go through
the wash are poor investments.
Never go to any but a reliable store
for blankets. If you find a salesman
who makes extravagant claims for
the blankets, declaring them all
wool when the price asked does not
warrant such statement, be care
full A good blanket lasts many
years. 1t is better to pay a good
price and get blanket that you
will be glad to keep for years.

Two Ways

says the average money getter. when
this state of affairs becomes appar-
ent. The man who runs his own
business sometimes comments that
he'll have to cut down Office ex-

vague task OF making household
economies But after all 1t Is not a
very difficult task to make a few adj

the standard Of living of the family,
but will lower expenses at least
temporarily.
Here are some ways that It Is
usually not wise to economic: II
you use every bit Of milk that the
milkman leaves, don't cut down the
milk bin You can cut down the
amount spent ON vegetables without
cutting down the quantity of vege-
tables Consumed, a process which Is
bad idea from the point of whole
some diet But you. can use more of
the inexpensive vegetables. onions,
cabhages, carrots, tUnfpe, etc. You
can resist the temptation Of buying
fresh spring vegetables before spring
is even in the air. You can make
head Of lettuce do for two meals in
stead Of one, If you carefully con-
serve the outside leaves. These may

unattractive and made into a de-
hcious salad foundation.

Looking Over
Your Blankets

XyoU may have put your blankets
" away clean and fresh in the
spring but they should be well
aired when you take them out of
moth trunks or cedar chests. You
should take a day, off to put them
in good condition before you put
them away If blankets are worn
the wear generally appears first at
the edges. This should give you a
good hint for new blankets. If you
want to make them last as long as
possible re-enforce the new blankets
at the edges.
Some people face the upper edge
of new blankets with strips of fine
muslin in order to keep them from
soiling Moreover, If you use the
same set of blankets in a guest
room where you cannot provide a
fresh blanket for every guest it is
nice TO have fresh strips of muslin
to put on.
The muslin does more than keep
the blankets clean. 1t saves wear
just where wear comes first

When You
Must Save

THERE is certain sort Of gloom
III that sometimes settles over the
two who sit at the head and
the foot Of the family dinner table
when it becomes apparent that biIls
are running high. Interestingly
enough this gloom is occasionally to
be found in the household OF a
twenty thousand-dollar income as
well as the more usual two or three
or four thousand dollar year
households. 1t doesn't really seem
to be 80 much a matter of set in
come as OF an adjustment between
that income and the demands, or
supposed demands, of the family.

Mending Worn Ones

Now for blankets that have al
ready worn. Sometimes you can
cut them so that one large blanket
can be made from two old ones.
This means seam down the
middle, but this does not prove a
source Of difficulty. The seam should
be made in the form of a fat well
done by hand and well pressed.
II the blanket is simply worn at
the top this can be cut of and the
blanket can be made for smaller
bed. 1t is a good idea in the family
where there are children. not to buy
new crib blankets, but to make use
of revamped large blankets for this
purpose.
When you buy new blankets you
will find that they generally come
in pairs, the two Joined together.
Most housewives prefer to divide
these double blankets because there
are times when only one part win
be needed. In doing this, cut them
evenly and carefully, and bind with
silk binding that is sold expressly
for this purpose.

@OUBTLESS you have heard
the statement that you never
are qualified to make plans for
a house until you have made fall
IRE of your first and are ready to
begin on your second.
That is stretching the matter, per
haps But naturally enough there
are lotG of things that it never
occurs to you to think about until
you have lived in a house of your
own designing.
Here are some of the things that
group of housewives. all of whom
are living in houses of their own
planning mentioned as things they
would pay heed to in the building

For Coats and Hats

WOllid pay neeu 10 IN the DuuuilS
Of a second house,
For Goats and Hats
A downstairs coat and hat closet
most important to a. woman with a
family of young children. No mat
ter how small! the house, said she,
there would be closet where hats,
coats, trubbers and umbrellas, tennis
rackets, etc. could be put away out
of sight on the ground floor Of the
house If possible there would be
a wash basin. a window. and accom-
mediation for separate wall space
for each member of the family.
One housewife vows that when
she builds her next house she viii
have the laundry built around her
electric washer, so that she viii
have the proper arrangement for
filing the washer with water and
draining it to begin with. She thinks
that ii would save money to have
this attended to at first instead of
having to make special arrange
ments for hose and drain later on.
Another housewife insists that she
would have a screened-in porch off
her dining room with a door into
the kitchen or pantry. Many extra
hours could be spent outdoors il it
were possible to eat meals outdoors
in good weather during summer and
autumn.
Then there is the question of a
cleaning closet that seems para
mount to one woman who has had
to find accommodation for mop and
vacuum cleaner, brooms and dust
pans in corners of the Kitchen and
pantry for years She would have
a special closet to bold these things,
with low sink and running water
for filling and emptying pals. with
shelves for holding soaps and SCOUT
ing powders, floor oil and varnish,
paints and brushes, with pegs for
dustcloths and with a folding rack
whereon to dry wet cleaning clotls
A small window is part of her idea,
preferably one in which sun shines
for a part Of the day.
To Hold the Broom
And another woman thinks that
if there were a tiny closet above
stairs where broom and dust mop
and busters and other paraphernalia
for upstairs everyday cleaning
might be kept-then her house
would be perfect.
There is the ever-perpiexfng prob
lem of where to put the refrigerator.
So one housewife who has a charm
ing little house, but whose refriger-
ator must be housed in the kitchen
or cellar, goes about making plans
of little additions built here or there
I'd hold her refrigerator, and many
women plan that when they build
another house this win be one of the
first problems to tackie-this of
having a special place for the re-
frigerator where the fceman can go
without tracking the kitchen floor
and which will be far enough from
the stove so that no ice win be
melted by that.
Then there are windows. How
many houses would be twice as
comfortable if only there were win
dows where now there are nonei
One thing and this is the ideal
about which one young housekeeper
dreams, Desirable is all corner bed
rooms. This is quite possible in a
small house--four bedrooms on the
four corners. Then cross draughts
are possible in every room, And
this makes for better ventilation at
all times and for greater GOODNESS in
summer.
