all being summoned when the feast
was ready by the ringing of a great
bell. This was, consequently, called
"the pancake bell"
According to John Taylor, the
Water Poet, in his "Jack-a-Lent" of
1880, Shrovetide pancakes were
made as follows:
Then there is a thing cal'd
wheatn f1oWre, which the sulphory,
necromanticke cookies doe mingle
with water. eggs, spice, and other
tragicau, magical inchantments,
and then they put 1t little by little
into a frying pan Of boyling suet,
where it makes confused, dismal
hissing-like the Lernean snakes in
the reeds of Acheron, StiX, or Phle-
geton-until at last by the skill Of
the cooke it is transformed into the
forme of flap-jack, which in our
translation is call'd a pancake, which
ominouS incarnation the ignorant
people doe devoure very greedily-
having, for the most part well dined
before-but they have no sooner
swallowed the sweet candied bate,
but straight their wits forsake them,
and they rune starke mad, as
sembling in routs and throngs
numberlesse of ungovernable num-
bers, with uncivil commotions."
Mr.. Taylor's obviously intense dis
like Of the custom of eating Shrove
Tuesday pancakes undoubtedly re-
fleets his general religious view
point at that time, and need not be
a deterrent for those of you who
wish to serve the traditional concoc-
tions as a last course at dinner on

Woman Is Most Charming After
Passing Her Thirty.ffth Year
Gabriel Moulin Photo.

And I think that our own expe-
rience and observation bears this
statement out, for it takes a woman
that long to acquire the fine art of
being woman and TO learn how to
add to the charms she had as girl,
and to substitute for the lack Of
graces she had as hobbledehoy.
All of us have seen the miracle
that time can work in a woman.
We have seen it turn big, homely,
lumpish, awkward girls into stately,
handsome, poised women Of the
world who charmed all with whom
they came in contact. And We have
seen women who were ugly in their
youth turned beautiful in age just
because their goodnes and kindness
Shone in their faces like light
through an alabaster vase.
1t takes half a lifetime for a
woman to acquire tact, which is.
after all, the conjure to which we
all succumh. The young think only
Of themselves. They are needless of
our susceptibilities. They wound oalr
vanities.
But the middle-ased woman has
learned to walk warily among our
prejudices and pecunarities without
stepping on our toes and to stroke
our fur the right way so that we
purr under her hand.
And surely no one can deny that
the woman past 35 is more interest
ing than the one below it. Young
girls who have not had time to get
acquainted with life, who do not
even know themselves. make heavy
conversational going, but the Wom-
an who has read and thought and
studied and travelled, who has known
people and seen strange things hap
pen to herself and others, makes a
fascinating companion.
Even the dullest woman who has
known love and marriage, and work
and struggle, who has borne children
and wept over little coffins, has had
her part in the drama of life, and
has acquired q wisdom and phil
osophy Of life that makes her in
teresting.
So. after all, perhaps middle age,
which women 50 dread, Is their most
attractive time of life.

Mother Must
Weigh Baby
Regularly
Invaluable Guide
To His Health
And Progress
good as tt looks!
By Lettice Lee Street,

By Lethce Lee Street,
One Sunday morning brsnd-new
father. proud and jovial over the
safe arrival of his son, watched the
sacred ritual of baby's bath. Half
seriously, he joked, You'll wear the
baby out weighing him, Mary! You
always look so worried, too, when
you watch the scales. Why do you
keep that chart of ounces when we
can watch him grow bigger every
week? Anybody could tell by look
ing at that young fella how healthy
he Isl"
Mary laughed and answered that
she didn't know exactly why she did
keep the chart except that the doc
tor had told her to, and she was
bound and determined to follow his
instructions to the letter. How right
she is!
A record of baby's weight the
first year is almost necessity. In
case of illness it is an invaluable
guide and clue to the doctor of the
baby's condition. It tells, as moth
ing else can as accurately, how the
baby is progressing and is meas
ure of his physical normality.
An infant should be weighed once
day the first month of his life and
once week from one to six months
and every two weeks from six to IL
months.
The first week of q baby's life he
loses four to eight ounces. Then he
should gain four to eight ounces
each week until he is six months
old. After this, until he is a year,
he gains about two to four ounces q
week.
The important thing to watch is
that the average gain is steady
one. A we'll baby will gain right
along during his first year, but many
healthy infants do not show an in
crease in weight every week. A lapse
in gaining will often occur in hot
weather or when a little baby is
teething or otherwise temporarily
upset.
However, the mere fact that q
baby is gaining does not necessarily
indicate perfect health. II his diet
does not contain sufficient proteins
minerals and vitamins which are
found in foods additional to milk
| either mothers milk or cows milk
he may become fat, but he will be
f1abby. For solid, strong baby you
must let your doctor prescribe a
Well-balanced diet that will provide
the necessary food elements for the
growth Of good bones and teeth and
muscle tone as well as general
strength and size.
The breast-fed baby will be apt tc
gain more rapidly during the first
weeks of life than the bottle-fed
infant This is because the latter
must become accustomed to cows
milk and this sometimes takes lit.
tie time. He may suffer slight diges-
tive disturbances that necessitate
the weakening of the formula which
will mean that during this period hi
is not receiving enough food or
which to gain weight.
A table of weights for the average
infant is as follows:
Birth-7h pounds.
Third months pounds.
Fifth month"; pounds.
Ninth month-19 pounds.
Twelfth month-21 pounds.

Permanent Is
Investment
In Beauty
For Good Results,
Secure Best One
You Can Afford
By Patricia Lindsay

1t is better to get one good perma-
nent wave year than to get two or
three or four poor ones. Even
though during the last two months
of the year your hair may look sort
of wilted.
When spring comes women yearn
for a new wave but unless your old
wave has pretty well grown out wait
a month longer. Of course, if your
hair is long enough 50 that the re-
mains Of the old wave may be cut
of without making you look
"scalped," then you may go ahead
with your plans.
Even though some hairdressers
have tried to convince me that hair
can be repermanented new wave
over an old one) l have yet TO be
shown the successful head on which
this was tried. It is better to get
your wave on hair that has never
before been waved. Have patience
until the old curl has grown out.
You should consider your perma-
nent as an investment in your
beauty and get the best wave you
can afford. Go to the very best
hairdreSser you know of for hair
shaping and wave And If you can
possibly do so. go to him at least
once before that for a shampoo and
setting so he can determine what
hair texture you have.
That is important, for every man
ufacturer of permanent waving
processes will warn you that the
success of your wave depends
greatly upon the competence Of the
operator 10 whom you trust your
head, and his knowledge of your
hairs peculiarities.
Tinted or dyed hair is more diff
cult TO handle. naturally, and in all
fairness to your operator you should
confess what product you have been
using and how frequently you use il
on your hair. Then he may better
determine the type of lotion and the
amount Of heat you need.
Never 60 for a wave when you
are not feeling fit. Your body's
state reacts on your hair. Wait un-
til you feel well and strong because
you want a glossy, soft curl which
will make you much more beautiful
than you were before you got it.

A girls club asks me at what time
OF her life is woman most attrac-
tive. No definite answer can be
given to that question, because it de-
pends not only upon what qualities
one admires most In woman, but
upon the individual woman. Some
women are at their peak at II,
others at 10. To those who rate
beauty as Woman's greatest charm.
she is at her best in girlhood. But
while beauty may, as the poet says,
draw us by single hair, it is a
perishable commodity that does not
stand the wear and tear of life. Age
pales the roses on the falreSt cheek.
1t SllyerS the hair and turns the
most WilloWy form into the similitude
Of a feather bed or a string bean,
and Of all sad words of tongue or
pen, none are more tragic or pathetic
than those we hear said so often
about so many middle-aged women:
She used to be so pretty when she
was girl" Also, while young girls
may be balm to the eyes, they are, as
general thing, poison to the ears,
for few Of them possess a conversa-
tional repertoire that goes beyond
'he said" and II said" and their
giggling is as the cracking of thorns
under a pot. Undoubtedly the great
majority of men consider that a
woman is most attractive in her
girlhood, as is proven by the fact
that the years between l8 and Is
are the ones in which she is most apt
to catch a husband.
This vagary of masculine taste
explains a number of things-Why
so many brilliant, middle-aged men
have faded little dumb dolls for
wives; why so many husbands lose
their taste for their wives when
the beauty and youth for which they
married them are gone, and, above
all, why women are so hell-bent on
retaining their looks at any cost in
suffering and money.
If youth and beauty are what men
find most alluring in woman, they
are going to try to stay that way as
long as there is diet or q beauty
shop left in the length and breadth
of the land.
But cheer up, sisters. A famous
novelist, who is a profound student
of human life, says that long ago he
found out that women grow pro-
gressively more attractive after they
are past 35. and that every year he
finds his wife grows more and more
interesting and delightful to live
with.
