RECIPES FOR
COOKIES

COOKIES are a delightful. and
~ ingenious compromise be-
tween candy and cake. When too
much sweet is frowned upon but
not forbidden during the holidays,
cookies may be dispensed to the
children freely. In them it is pos
sible to use the same favorites as
in the holiday candies-brown
sugar. cocoanut. nuts and as much
decoration as you wish.
A cookie that is quite as good
as penoche candy is this recipe:
To two well beaten eggs add one
cup of brown sugar and beat well.
Add little salt and one cup Of
finely chopped nuts-pecans are
most delicious, or good brand
of fresh walnuts. Then add one.
half cup Of flour. sifted. with one
half teaspoon of baking powder.
Stir this in we'll and drop the mix
ture by teaspoonfuls on a we'll
creased baking sheet, leaving
plenty Of room for the cookies to
spread in baking. Bake quickly in
3 hot oven. From three to five
minutes IL, an oven at 375 degrees
Fahrenheit is about right. Lift
the cookies from the sheet while
hot and roll them lightly into a
hollow roll. These cookies are
really quite as good as candy, and
since they have both eggs and
brown sugar are a desirable form
of sweet for children as we'll as to
serve at afternoon tea.

PROBLEMS IN
COURTESY
BY Lucy Lowell

FoRMALIFY. in a reasonable
L degree, is a very fine thing to
cultivate.
For many problems are those
brought about by the long and
close contact Of association, friend
ship or relationship; contacts so
intimate that the formality which
helps along equable terms with
more casual acquaintance slips
away.
And with it goes much Of the
fine courtesy and the delicate re-
serve that are the safeguards Of
all human contacts.
Very few there are with whom
you can afford to put aside all
formality-with whom you can be
quite sure of understanding. For
complete understanding is based
on an open mind and entire sin.
Gritty. And while that combina-
ton does exist. it Is a rare thing.
Perhaps you will say that for.
mality destroys spontaneity and
gives one the appearance OF being
cold and unfriendly.
But 1t need not. Formally must
not be confused with shyness,
which does act as brake upon
good humor and good manners.
It Is much more likely that the
free and careless attitude of taken
for-granted intimacy may draw
criticism and give offense. For
very often 1t robs Of dignity and a
general atmosphere OF kindly con-
sideration even the closest Of fam
lily contacts.
Courtesy is the most effective
protection you will find against all
the problems of contact.

HOME WORK
PROBLEM

Don't try to keep up with your
chlldren's school work. And when
you find you can't solve some
simple school-book problem" that
your boy or girl brings home,
don't feel discouraged-don't think
your mind "is disintegrating."
This advice to mothers is con-
tanned in an article in January
Good Housekeeping Magazine,
which says in part:
do not revive your Latin and
Algebra to keep pace with your
children. Some mothers have
done this successfully but many
others have not made a good job
Of 1t and have ruined their chill
dren's sense Of self-reliance by
helping them on.
Instead of reviewing the old
knowledge as the family gathers
around the evening lamp, Instead
of helping the children with their
lessons which the school expects
them to master unaided, take out
your own books and begin where
you left off last night In the read
ing and mastery OF some special
subject in which you are keenly
interested"
