Der man, Hey, not so high up, please!
 "rd rather stay right near the ground, if I'm to keep on floating round" The man replied, "Okay lad! I will bring you down with ease."
 Once more he said some strange words and the .Tinies watched wee Duncys land. The lad jumped right out of the shoe and said, T have a hunch.
 "A ride like that is lots of fun, and I just wish that every one could join me in another flight Gee, sir, could it be done?"
 Well. there is one thing we can do," the man replied, we'll stretch the shoe, then there'll be room for all the bunch. I'll quickly bring them here."
 He stopped the tubes, and every one was told of Duncy's plan for fun. Wee Scouty cried. "fll hclr you do the stretching, never fear Copyright 1885, NEA Service, Inc

The rubber shoe that Duncy rode began to have fun with it's load First it would bounce upon the heel. and then upon the toe.
 One of the Tinies shouted. ';,Hey how do you like to ride that way; The way the shoe is acting, there: no telling where you'll go."
 '.So far, guess I am all right, yellow Duncy. But, it Is fright the way I'm being bounced around | wish this thing would stop.
 "I'm sorry I got in this fix The crazy shoe is full of tricks Why. if I don't hang on real tight I'll take an awful fiop."
 The rubber man then smiled and said, You've had enough of that Instead, I'll make the shoe sail smoothly. It will be a big relief
 This was no sooner said, than done. The shoe just floated: My what fun! Wee Duncy shouted Now I'm having sport. instead oi grief"

spoon. There may be more than
these four ingredients but never
less. And if the moisture Is too
thick to drop from a spoon it
is called a dough.
So batter is really q thin
dough. How thin depends on
what you are making, for there
are drop batters and pour bat
tiers. BY this time you have
probably guessed the four in
gradients.
Four Essentials
For batters. you must have:
Flour. This flour may be
made from wheat, rye, corn,
barley or buckwheat. And if it
is made from wheat. it may be
bread flour, pastry flour or all.
purpose flour.
Leavening agent to make the
mixture light. This usually is
baking powder. However, it can
be yeast, or egg whites. The bak-
ing powder and the yeast form

causes the batter to "raiSe." In

II some of the pretties of this
interesting world don't quite

surprising. There's a list of prob

Instead of fluffing on powder
OF any old shade, dabbing on
rouge casually and flourishing
the lipstick, the girls will get
down to brass tacks, find out
what is best for them; and the
buy-ways and the boulevards
won't see any more billboard
faces.
The trick is to highlight the
good features, tone down those
that do not qualify. It can be
done. Makeup smarties in Holly
wood transform ugly ducklings
into screen swans; it's all in the
days job.
The girl with a seeing eye and
q mind open to suggestions can
do a lot with her face. Synthetic
aids are real force. Properly
used. they glorify; abused, they
make a girl look old and played
out.
When the complexion is fair,
hair and eyes dark, the best
powder is a blend Of ochre and
rose, which imparts color depth
and richness. The rouge should
be Medium dark geranium is
good-So as to be congenial with
the powder. A pale skin has
vitality when there is more
rachel than rose in the powder,
the dark tone imparting that
soft, creamy porcelain effect
that we're all seeking.
Tanned skin requires a match

tones like tea rose or natural
are bad selections for the
toasted face, yet any number
of bronzed beauties use them.
At this time of year, all the
athletic DianaS need powder

It is economy to have at hand
a box Of faint rose; mix a little
with the dusky powder as the
complexion sheds it's sun-cooked
scales. Faces change with the
seasons. Powders must follow
suit.
Only the white-haired, blue
eyed, fair-skinned sister can find
any possible use for mauve
powder. But it suits her per-
fectly, though she needs a light
film of rouge on the eyelids
and a lipstick of vermillion.
Those women who are az
f1icted with a florid skin make
a mistake when they pin their
faith to rachel powder. They
need a deep rose, no rouge, lip

it is combined with the batter.
Liquid. The liquid is usually
milk or water. Other types OF
liquid may be used, however.
Shortening. Shortening Is
another name for fat used in
batters. This shortening may
be butter, or margarine, or any
of the commercial products sold
for baking purposes. 1t may be
bacon fryings. Or can be any
fat that has an agreeable taste
and is not strong"
AS was pointed out, there may
be other ingredients in your
batter. The amount of these
vary according to the recipe.
A very common one is eggs.
Eggs are used in cakes. mullins.
etc., to make them light and
fine grained. Sugar is used for
certain recipes and flavoring
such as chocolate, fruit, vege-
tables. nuts, raisins, and ex'
tracts.
Two Kinds
Batters are of two kinds. They
may be made as drop" batters
or as "pour" batters. The diff
ference depends on the amount
of moisture present. Their
names are descriptive. "Pour"
batters are thinner than drop"
batters.
A pour" batter is thin enough
to be poured from a spoon in a
steady stream. Griddle cakes.
waffles, and popovers, are all
made as pour" batters.
The drop batter Is thin
enough to be dropped from the
spoon but is so thick than in
stead Of dropping in a steady
stream, it breaks midway. Muf'
fins are made from drop bat"
tiers. Nut bread, and butter
cakes also come under this type
of batter. The flavoring de-
ponds on the particular product
desired.

A Good Home

In these days Of economic in
security, there must be scores
of women in your home city
who would be glad of q good
home and a chance to mother
four youngsters. But do not
employ some flighty girl, who
would probably treat them bad
ly or know nothing about their
proper care, even with the best
intentions.
Inquire through your bust
ness associates. Ask their wives
if they know someone whom
they could really recommend.
Don't neglect to inquire through
the clergymen of your town if
they know the right women for
the job.
You might get perfection from
a registry or intelligence office
and again you might get the
reverse. The safe thing is to
get someone you know about,
someone vouched for by friends.

ETIQUETTE
Were Secretly
Married
ByMRs.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
''In the middle of last sum-
mer I was secretly married by
a city clerk. About six weeks
ago my father found out about
it and told us to come and live
with him. My mother Is dead.
We are now living with him,
and next month we want to be
quietly married I'm our own
church, which is Catholic.
II want to send out an
nOuncements. How should the
announcements be word e d?
Should they be in the form Of
letters, or printed or engraved
cards, or as plain as possible?
A few Of my intimate friends
know of my marriage. Must I
send them announcements?
81 know that aunts and per.
haps some friends will give me
presents. Should / open them
in their presence, or wait until
they leave? GRATEFUL"
Under the circumstances, I
think that it would be much
better form for you not to send
out formal engraved announce
ments of your marriage, either
of your civil marriage or Of
your church marriage. After
your religious marriage, you
could tell your relatives and
close friends, either by word Of
mouth or by note. in cases
where they live too far away to
be told verbally.
You and your husband might
have an informal gathering Of
your relatives and friends in
your home, to celebrate the &C.
casion. Then the relatives and
friends most concerned with
the news will be informed-and,
as you know, the news will
spread rapidly!
Open The gifts as the givers
present them to you. Then
thank them enthusiastically for
the generous thought and for
the gift itself.

No Longer Cares

"She went to her home town
to make some arrangements for
our marriage, which was to be
in six weeks, and then wrote me
everything was off. 1t seems an
old sweetheart Of hers had
turned up, and she felt she no
longer cared for me.
at is my children that I'm
thinking of in this new mis-
fortune. They love her and re-
gard her as a mother, and I do
not know how can replace her
as their fOster-mOther. I can
grin and bear it, as far as my
feelings are concerned, but
what is to become Of my little
children? Do you know Of any
place where a trained house
mother could be found?"

better to get someone with

rather than take chances on a

Simplicity Rules

Really well dressed college
girls scorn business in the
daytime, around the campus.
They go without hats a great
deal, and wear simple sports
felts for such events as foot
ball games and going into town
in the daytime. Afternoon
clothes can be more feminine
but any softness or frilliness IS
out for workaday occasions.
Velveteen is well represented
in the school collections that
our own stores are fast getting
ready, or are showing already.
There are two-piece affairs, sep
arate jackets and skirts, one
part velveteen, one part wool,
and either the colors contrast
or one is plaid, one plain.

DIR. Clendening ties devoted
to the prevention of those two
old menaces, in saying this, but
it is none the less true, be-
cause the age period Of death
for heart disease and cancer is
closer to the seventies than to
the twenties. It is not the de-
struction of hope and promise
that they perform, but Of what
should be accomplished, and
full fruition Of labor.
InSidi0uS
It is from the roster Of the
young, with all their work be-
fore them, that tuberculosis
reads it's death roll. Or If not
all their work before them their
accomplishments have given
promise of something greater
and finer. Keats, Chopin,
Stevenson, Aubrey Beardsley,
Ernest Dawson-the list is a
long one of the splendid and
the lyrical and the fated upon
whom that grim captain has
laid his icy hand.
Much Of his grimness lost, we
say, but still a worthy foe-one
to be remembered.
"Although the outlook Is OPP
tinistic regarding the present
day treatment for tuberculosis,
and the ever.decreasing mortal
ity rate is very gratifying, there
is no place for foolish COM
placency! Tuberculosis is still
q worthy foe. The deaths have
decreased, but the number Of
people sick with tuberculosis in
the United States has decreased
very little, if any. Every sana-
forum has q long waiting list;
every free dispenSary is crowded.
Statistics Of former years are
inadequate, and consequently
unreliable, for comparison with
present-day figures. More accu"
rate methods Of diagnosis now
reveal cases which could for
merly have escaped the tuber-
culOsiS classification. Regard
less Of whether there are now
as many or more sick than for
merly, the number is still ire
mendOusly great. Deaths from
tuberculosis rank high, SO that
there should be no contempt for
such q killer, even though he
may be Staggering!"
One of the chief reasons why
tuberculosis accomplishes its de-
struction lies in the insidious-
ness Of the onset. Like another
great disease, it often goes I'M
suspected, diabetes, it is seldom
accompanied by pain. And pain
is the thing that makes people
go to the doctor.
Symptoms
The four symptom groups
that should warn a young per.
son enough to make him go to
a doctor and have a careful
physical examination are:
Cd Fatigue, beyond any rea-
Sonable explanation. Combined
with afternoon fever, and grad
