KITCHEN COMMENTS
BY VILLA HOYT,

WHEN planning to make cake, think
w first Of the time you wish to use
1t. A plain cake recipe Is quite all
right II the cake is to be eaten at once
or on the day 1t is baked. Choose a
richer cake, made with more butter
and more eggs, or put together with a
soft filling, If you expect 1t to keep
fresh for several days.
Think how much more accurately
you can measure ingredients If you
have q glass measuring cup instead
OF tin or aluminium cup, and one
that Is divided not only into half-cur
and quarter-cup sections. but into third
cup sections as well. The glass cups
are not expensive.
You can suggest variety in salads
merely by using a new or elaborated
dressing with the same old salad greens
Thus you may serve sliced tomatoes
with French dressing one night, quar-
tered tomatoes with Russian dressirS
the next. and whole tomatoes stuffed
WIN mayonnaise and chopped egg dress
ing the third night without running the
risk Of n1onotony.
If you do not like eggplant that Is
fried In deep hot fat, try it sliced
fairly thin and dipped in egg, then
once IN fine cracker crumbs. Fry rather
slowly IN butter and serve at once.
The secret of goodness here Is not us
ing a too-thick or too-coarse coating
Of crumbs
Many find it more satisfactory To
serve dinner at the earliest hour possible
even as early as $50, where all mem
pers OF the family can gather at that
tlme. In homes where there are chill
dren this Is especially convenient. and
viewed from the health standpoint. the
early meal gives food a better chance
10 become thoroughly digested before
the diner goes to bed.

wouldn't bother with you.
There was good job in manu-
featuring company which she wanted.
She knew nobody at all connected with
the firm. But some people named Brown
whom she had alweys ignored, were
friends Of Mr.. Gregory, the owner. Lucy
Immediately became pleasant and po-
lite to the Browns and was soon invited
there for party.
When she arrived there she looked
around the room at once with a calcu-
lating eyes Lucy was a pretty girl and
lively, but she didn't look around as
most girls would-to see which man
would be the most fun. She was look
ing only to see whether there was any
body there who could help her to get
the Gregory job. In the corner sat
small, insignificant man. When the
hostess introduced him as Mr.. Gregory
she said it so fast that Lucy didn't
catch the name. She thought it was
Briggs. How do you do" she said, and
went to another part Of the room. She
wasn't SO stupid as to be impolite or
rude, but she didn't waste any of her
talents on Mr.. Gregory When, the
next day, Lucy found out what she had
done, she was in despair.
The end Of this story ought to be
that thereby she lost forever her chance
Of getting the big job. That's the way
it would be in nice moral story. But
that's not the way it is in life, where
the wicked are rewarded handsomely.
1t so happened that Mr.. Gregory was
a modest and shy man. He was always
being fiattered and pursued by people
who wanted money or job. Most Of
the people at the party that night were
nervously polite to him.
1t didn't occur to him that Lucy
didn't know who he was, so he de-
cided that she was a proud and indie
pendent spirit. And he thought to him.

Brown Shoes.

Brown shoes are becoming more and
more a matter OF necessity and less
something that you may choose II you
wish to do so. No one ever thinks Of
wearing black shoes with brown dress
nowadays, as they might have done in
the days when black shoes were the
most usual sort of street shoes for
cooler weather. Now you must have
brown shoes II you wear q brown suit
or dress or coat. and the chances are
that you will choose brown shoes to
go with your green costumes, too, I'M
less there Is a distinct accent of black
in the trimming Of the green dress, or
unless you have decided to wear the
new very dark green shoes.
You may choose pair Of high-heeled
OxfordS OF dark brown suede or a pair
Of straight-heeled Oxfords of brown
suede with alligator. Pumps, too. show
combination Of brown suede and alli-
gator, and there are pumps that COM
bine brown suede with brown patent
leather.
One Of the smart shoe shops shows
pumps made with outstanding tongues
and large Colonial buckles type of
shoe that would have been out of the
question with really short skirts. but
which can be worn to good effect with
the boot-top or ankle-length afternoon
dress.
And just because skirts are longer
don't imagine that you can give less
thought to your shoes and stockings
We are a long. long way from skirts
that actually hide the stockings and
shoes, and the present skirt lengths are
every bit as exacting as the shorter
skirts that are entirely out Of date.
There Is every indication that very
sheer stockings will be even more in
demand among well dressed women
now than ever before, and, oddly
enough, the coming of cool weather
seems to increase the demand for
stockings Of cobwebby sheerness.

Teaching Boys to Obey

"THAT darned old teacher! She's
given us more night work and
don't think it's fair"
Bill slapped his books on the swing
and slumped down dejectedly beside
them. His father, who happened to be
at home, called up from the lawn where
he was arranging the sprinkler. What's
the row about now? What's the mat

Night work! Darned old night work.
We've got that old Miller woman for a
teacher and she fires night work at us

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.
When You Day-Dream.

The next time you day dream stop
and think 1t over. That is, If you
can. It's easy enough to think a day
dream over after you have just had
one. It's another and quite another
psychological stunt to make An analysis
OF a day dream while you are day
dreaming. The fact is, it is next to,
II not impossible, to make a study of
a day dream in action
The reason is this: Day dreams are
constructed out of your emotional
makeup. This material hobs up I'M
Willingly out Of the unconscious. You
have no control over its coming and
very little control over the forms this
emotional mind-stuff will take. The
only way you can handle such mind
stuff is to let it have its way and then
rather half-heartedly think it over
afterward. Half-heartedly. because most
people are rather ashamed Of their day
dreams. People will talk about their
dreams, but not about their day dreams.
This is because they regard their day
dreams as something more personal
than their night dreams.
Since day dreams are so Elusive. 1t
does not follow that they are not
worth post-dreaming examination They
are very important. They are mood
indicators. And moods mean a lot in
the course Of the days work.

Don't Judge Harshly.

The parent who can get along"
aniably with her neighbors is often
q wildcat when she feels her child Is
being mistreated or sighted. She ex-
poets her offspring to be appreciated
at his full value, though she has no
hesitancy about pointing out the I'M
Hkableness of the neighbors' children.
There is no doubt that the best of
us cannot give the neighbors' children
quite the appreciation we give our own.
We are inclined to consider their mis-
behavior, their bad manners, their
quarreling, inexcusable. Our own little
lamb Is, Of course, blameless or at
least sympathetically understandable.
It Is unwise and silly to quarrel with
neighbors because of their children's
actions toward our own. The neighbors'
children are seldom any better or any
worse than ours. We view them
through distorted glasses.
Mrs: G. H. M. has familiar story
like 1t, or been partner to a similar
situation. MY little boy is 4 years
DID," she writes, and there is only
one family on our street with whose
children he can play. The children's
ages are 31a,. and 8. They are SO
mean to my little boy. When he goes
so that he always comes home crying
II he so much as touches their toys,
they strike him. But when they come
to our house, they run through 1t like
q drove of wild animals. Usually he
is so tickled to have them play with
him that he would give them every
thing he possesses. It just makes me
burn with indignation
"I have spoken to the mother about
It. but she just laughs and says. Let
them alone I don't think she cares
what they do to nv child. Sometimes
could Just cry. feel so badly for the
little fellow. He Is so lonesome and
needs companions SO badly. What shall
I do?"
The two older children should not
play with the younger ones. When
there Is such disparity in ages, chill
dren cannot be companionable. In
vite the younger child to play with
your boy and exclude the older ones.
Give them all the toys you have and
then busy yourself elsewhere, letting
them learn to get along with each
other. If they fight roughly. don't
blame the other child. but view them
impartially and separate them. Tell
both Of them that when they can stop
fighting they can play together again.
That ends all discussion of who was
