Pancakes are served" will
bring the family together for
an early breakfast. Especially
appropriate for the winter sea-
son is good old link sausage to-
gether with these delicious hot
pancakes. In different parts OF
the country cakes are called by
different nameS-griddle cakes
pancakes, flapjacks, battercakes,
slapjacks, Slappers and hot
cakes. Various combinatnonS
are possible to make this food
an interesting and substantial
main dish for luncheons or
late snack menus.
Test the griddle iron by throw
ing a few drops of cold water
upon it. If the water sputterS
a good deal the griddle is ready
for the cakes. Drop the batter
by Spoonfuls on the griddle.
Turn after they have been baked
from two to three minutes.
When bubbles appear on their
surface and begin to burst, lift
the cakes with a spatula to see
that the under surface is well
Drowned, then turn them and
continue baking until the other
side is Drowned. If the griddle
has been creased, wiped it with
an oiled cloth before baking
more cakes on it. Watch your
fingers!
Serve the cakes as soon as
possible. If they cannot be
served at once, keep them in a
warm place in stacks of not
more than four. Your favorite
jelly, or powdered sugar, or
tempting golden syrup are all
grand accompaniments for any
kind Of pancake.

QLACK shoes piped in white
~ seem to be the first harbin-
gers of spring to make their
appearance. Judging from the
new shoes we see dancing in
cocktail lounges and stepping in
and out of limousines, black
doeskin is the very tops, espe-
cially if it's piped in white in
the finest line of accent.
Tailored shoes have the high
built front, are unlined and are
often filled with perforations Of
varying sizes.
Heels are about two inches in
every type of shoe. DresSy shoes
have come down a bit, and walk
ing shoes have come up in their
heel heights, so that the general
average is about two inches.

dietetic truths, since there has been
so much advice offered for the cor
rection Of former mistakes, and now
everyone may have well-balanced diet
to suit his or her own individual neds.
Mr.. McCann believes, however, as we
do, that one should consult physician
before taking up any diet.
Here are some of the questions he
thinks one should study:
Is my diet balanced?
Do I get sufficient supply of neces-
sary vitamins?
Is it sufficient for my energy needs?
Do I have the proper knowledge of
calories and the correct standards from
which to judge2
Do eat regularly and properly?
The balanced diet should contain
necessary protems for body wear and
tear, among which would include eggs,
milk, cheese, and a moderate amount of
meat, energy foods in their whole and
natural form; whole-grain cereals, whole
grain breadstuffs, proportion of sugars,
honey, old-fashioned molasses, fresh
fruits, fresh vegetables which will pro-
vide the necessary vitamins and min
eral salts to insure elimination.
Donna Grace'S Ten.Day Diet, the
popular little booklet to carry in your
purse, is your best check on reducing.
1t contains the simple foods that one
finds in all lunchroonlS or hotels, and
is a real reducer, but not a starvation
diet. Try it for ten days and see the
difference. Send your name and Gd'
dress, clearly uTitten, to Donna Grace,

Valentines
Sentimental

Dan Cupid's age-old story OF
romantic attachment will be
told in a very modern accent on
st, Valentines Day this year.
While the 1898 valentines show
no lessening of ardor nor loss OF
sentiment, they speak a Ian
guage of love that seems more
simple, direct and fortnight
than heretofore. The inhibited
reticence of the older generation
is seldom evident in this years
valentine message, yet the cur
rent idiom of love is as tender
and warm with feeling as ever,
though strictly attuned to the
sophisticated emotional attitude
of modern youth. According to
the valentines, romance in 1888
is friendlier as well as franker
ORCHID INFLUENCE
Speaking of hearts and flow
erS-and you practically can't
r1ention valentine without them
the 1888 valentines definitely
have a way with them in prov
ing how versatile they can be
in their versions of these ortho-
dox motifs.
Red, of course, is the tradi'
tional color for Valentine hearts,
but this year st. Valentine de-
clares himself no respector of
tradition. There are hearts of
Mediterranean blue. for ex-
ample, outlined in scalloped sill
yer. Another heart is done in
monontone of graz and rose. If
you hold out for red after all,
you may find a heart of red
plaid or a grey heart center
roadly outlined with primrose
yellow.

The Mocking Bird"

I know a place that must have
been
Quite beautiful before man came.
The men who came could only
see
The grindstone's gray periphery,
And in their futile fevered haste
With needless ugliness effaced
The beauty that was there.
Yet in this spot I've often heard
The limpid cadence of a mock
ing bird,
And wondered if perhaps it
might not be
Nature herself, in farewell mel
ody,
Or Natures laughter, possibly.

LOvelOrn
Advice
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm an orphan boy of 18
years, and live with my grand
mother who is very strict. Dur
ing the Christmas holidays I
made a little extra money doing
chores around the neighbors'
houses. I want to save this
money so I can take out my
girl once in a while, but my
grandmother thinks I should
save it toward buying my grad
uation suit next June. Don't
you think I should be able to
do what I want with the money
I earn? MORRIS.
It depends so much on the
circumstances at home. my dear
boy. If your grandmother has
a hard time making both ends
meet, I think it would show a
sense of responsibility if you
save some of the money for
your new suit.
I'd suggest you try to earn a
little more doing chores after
school, as such a capable boy
will have no difficulty in getting
something to do, and then you
can apply some of it toward ex-
penses while you're in school.
MAKE HASTE SLOWLY"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
have a serious problem for
you to solve. 1t may not seem
so important to you, but it is to
me. Here it is:
For about five months I've
been seeing a young man, who
has treated me with the utmost
respect, but nothing beyond
that. He never has attempted
to pet, but has called on me
many times. I'm afraid I'm be-
ginning to care for him, and I'd
like to know if he cares for me.
Would you advise me to keep on
seeing him, or can you suggest
something to do to encourage
him to proclaim his love.
MARGE.
There's an old proverb which
goes something like this: Make
haste slowly" From what you
tell me, you're making out very
well, indeed. If he didn't like
you he wouldn't come to see you
at all. Men are not so unSelfiSh
that they visit girls in the same
spirit as Boy Scouts do a kind
deed daily.
Keep your emotions in check;
don't let him see how much you
care. Very often you'll find
men are as shy as wild birds: If
you get too close they fly away.

Etiquette
and
Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckn1dn
DEAR MRS. BECK
u MAN:
Will you kindly tell me the
correct usage of finger bowls
at a home dinner? A. says
they are placed separately,
that is, bowl and plate apart
and beside the plate after the
salad course, remaining
there until dinner is fin
ished. B. says they are
placed together beside the
person and at the conclusion
of the dinner. Which is cor
rect? WONDERING.
The usual finger bowl service,
and I believe the most conven-
lent one, is: Before the dessert
course and table is crumbed and
is cleared of all dishes that
will not be necessary after the
salad course Chat is, bread and
butter plates, salts and peppers,
and so forthD. Then we place
before each guest the dessert
plate with the finger bowl in 1t,
partly filled with tepid water:
on the right side Of the dessert
plate we place the dessert
spoon, and on the left side, the
dessert fork. The person served
removes the spoon to the right
of his place, the fork to the
left, and the finger bowl to the
left, slightly above the fork.
This leaves the dessert plate
ready for. the service OF dessert.
The other way, used when the
dessert is already served in, say
sherbet glasses, or when the
hostes wishes to make this serv.
ice double (first serving the des-
sert, and later placing the finger
bowl service) is: The dessert
service alone is brought in, say
the sherbet glass on the under
plate, and then, when this Is
removed, the finger bowl, also
on an under-plate, is placed be-
fore the guest.
Either service is correct
it depends entirely on the wishes
Of the hostess and on what she
considers the most convenient
way,
