Why Grow Old?
By Josebhine Lowman

Many women go about with their
lower ribs virtually resting on their
hip bones. In other words, the dis
tance between their rib cage ano
their waist is far too short. OF
course, there is such a thing as
limitation by structure and some OF
us are just naturally longer wasted
than others, but every woman should
strive to lengthen this important
measurement.
If you hold yourself correctly, you
will lengthen the distance between
your waist and your head as well
as between your ribs and your
waistline. In order to do this you
will have to straighten your spine
all the way up-pull your abdomen
in, and lift your chest and your
rib cage. The taller you can hold
yourself the better off you will be
so far as health and a lovely fig
ure are concernedl
This settling in the middle is one
of the main health and posture
faults of women as they grow older
Even when sitting you should try
to keep this line as long as possible
ANYTHING else crowds internal or.

Theater-Going Fashions

An opening night at the National

black ribbons and two red, red roses
peeking up over the roll of the halo.

braids help to catch up struggling

For an alternate hair-do, comb
it the same as above but double the
braid under and tie each with a
bow. That makes two bows on top,
one on each side. When the braids

them in a coronet on top, across

The Family Life

When a mother begins asking,
Should the children's father do this
and that" it is time for both parents
to take time to consider their ways
with the children. When only one
parent has charge of the children
they are being deprived of valuable
experiences, emotions and view
points. Both parents have unique
contributions to make to their chill
dren and the children in their turn
contribute to their parents growth
Mothers naturally have more asso-
citation with the young ones. To
begin with man has not, with no
blame to him, the touch baby re-
quires and which all mothers have
almost instinctively. Then fathers
are out of the house more than they
are in and so the baby is left to his
mother. But fathers do get home
and when they do, it would be well
for them and their babies If they
spent a while with them even If all
they did was to hold them and talk
to them. That opens the association
that is to last for a lifetime.

RICH and have obtained many good
ideas from it. This time I would
like 70 offer some suggestions to your
reader who has trouble making good
cakes with an electric mixer. have
had mixer for four years and
can't make cake without it.
The general procedure for mixing
cakes is as follows: l. Sift and meas
ure flour. 2. Sift -four and salt to-
gether. Save about tablespoons of
this flour and add the baking pow
der to it. g. Cream the shortening
and sugar until fluffy. 4. Add eggs
one at time and beat thoroughly
after each one. 5. Add vanilla to
the liquid to be used. 6. Add -four
and liquid alternately. Beat only
enough to make flour vet, and turn
mixer off while adding the next por-
ton of flour or liquid. 7. Add the
-four to which the baking powder
was added. This may be stirred in
with spoon. but can be done with
the mixer if it is beaten just enough
to stir in the flour.
For the first steps, medium
speed may be used. That would be
approximately on mixer with Is
speeds. For the last steps, the speed
control should be set at the lowest
possible speed. 1t is almost impos-
sible to overmix the first three in
gradients, but all the air can easily
be beaten out of cake If overmixed
in the last two steps. l have also
found it easier not to overmix cakes
if I hold the mixer in my hand and
run it around the bowl rather than
letting the mixer sit on it's stand.
Here's another bit of advice, some
cake recipes call for beating the
egg whites until stiff, and then fold
ing them in. This folding in
process should never be done with
the mixer.
The following Is a standard cake
recipe that is easy to make by the
above method. I use water instead
of milk as I have found it makes a
more tender cake.
1,2, 3, 4 cake: One cup butter or
shortening, cup water or milk, 2
cups sugar, cups flour, eggs, 8
teaspoons baking powder, 4 tea
spoon salt, l teaspoon vanilla.
Cream shortening and sugar until
fluffy. Add eggs one at time, beat
ing thoroughly after each one Sift
dry ingredients and add alternately
with water. Bake in large sheet
pan at $50 degrees for 40 minutes,
or 4 layer pans at 375 for Is min
utes.

See the good and bad within.
Cften we should love the sinner

Could we know the powers working,
To overthrow integrity,
We should Judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
IF we knew the cares and trials
Knew the effort all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment
Understand the loss and gain,
would the grim, external roughness
Seem, I wonder, lust the same?
SHOULD we help where now we hinder?
Should We pity where We blame?
