Whether they grow up to be very
domestic in their tastes or not, there
is a time when all girls love to bake
cakes, biscuit, cookies and pies. They
usually, drive their mothers quite dis-
tracted begging to stir mother's bat-
ter and soon after begin to tease to
be allowed to "bake one all by my-
self."
This stage of wanting to bake some-
thing without help is usually even
more troublesome for Mother because
she fears the result with its waste of
eggs, shortening and sugar when
there is a failure. Mother 'knows how
soon, at best, her sugar sack gets
empty and sugar must not be wasted..
Yet, how can Mother expect her
girl to grow up to be the good little

just right for a doll's tea party, why
that's out of the question when mother
is busy (and mothers always are!).
"Thus do fractions make cowards of
us all"—to misquote.
To answer the needs of my own
little daughter at five years and the
rather envious young neighbors of six
and nine whose mothers wouldn't let
them try a big cake, I hunted up the
individual class recipes which I used
in the days when I taught cooking.
These small recipes delighted the lit-
tle girls.
Because these little recipes proved
so popular with both girls and moth-
ers I wrote out a few of the best on
good white paper, put them together
to form a booklet, made a cover of
heavy paper and tied prettily. Then
with the cover decorated with a gay
hand painted design, or easier still,
by pasting on an attractive and ap-
propriate colored picture from a
magazine, I had a "cook book" to de-
light almost any little girl.
These little cook books cost prac-
tically nothing and if one has a penny
or so to spare, a few little tins add
immensely to the gift. Tiny muffin
or patty pan tins, a loaf tin about
2x8 inches, heartshaped tins, a small
pie tin, a fancy cooky cutter, all
please. If a tiny mixing bowl could
be added, mother's would not be in
use when she wanted it!
I am giving a few small -quantity
recipes here, perhaps enough for a be-
ginner, though probably everyone
who makes a cook booklet will have
at least one recipe which she will
want to reduce to about one-fourth
the family size and place with these.
Dividing recipes is not difficult if
inmind a few rules..
one keeps A
standard sized cup holds 16 table-
spoonfuls, one-half holds half the
number and so on. A tablespoon level
full equals three teaspoonfuls. An egg,
beaten fairly light amounts to about
four good tablespoonfuls, so in taking
one-fourth of a recipe calling for one
egg about one tablespoonful is used.
Showthe little girl how to make
level measurements, leveling off cup
or teaspoon by pushing off the round-
ing or heaping surplus with the edge
of a knife. - Teach her how to divide
her spoonful into halves, quarters or
eighths. • '

handling the small recipes, give her a

STARTING LINEN RIGHT.
During a recent visit to the shop of
a linen merchant who does a large
importing business, I learned that all
new linen which is not intended for
immediate use should be thoroughly
washed and irbned before being placed
in chests or linen closets. Laundering
reproves the dressing which is found
nowadays in even the finest and most
expensive linens, and prevents rotting
along the creases. +Choicelineu which

The- Beaver's Waterproof
Coat.
Wo do not wonder much at the fact
that fish can stand it to be wet all the
time; they are strictly aquatic crea-
tures. 13ut how about those animals
that are organized for a dry -land exist-
ence, yet spend a large part of their
time in water? How do the polar bear,
the mink, muskrat, atter' and beaver
manage to keep the lnternal orgauism
dry and warm enough to prevent fatal
chilling?
Nature takes care of these problems
invarious ways. Perhaps the most.
interesting thing oP its kind—positive-
ly astonishing, if you have had no .
knowledge of it—is the water -proofing
methods of beavers, ltveryone Is more
or less familiar with the "houses" and
dam -building activities of the beaver,
and we know he is in the water a
great deal indeed. The reason he does
not suffer is found in the nature of bis
coat and his method of oiling it. His
fur is of two kinds—long, coarse, red-
dish -brown hair outside and under-
neath, an inner fur of soft gray.
The inner fur provides warmth, and
is kept dry by application of oil to
the outer fur. Let me tell you, in the
words of Raymond Thompson, how
this oiling is done. The front feet of
the beaver are much like human hands
having long slender fingers. The nails
are long and slightly curved, to aid
the animal In digging and in handling
the trees, mud and stones which he
uses in his work. The hind feet, on
the other hand, are very large and
strong and aro fully webbed for swim-
ming. The nails on the hind toes are
rather short and stubby, in compari-
son to those of the fore feet, as they
are not.used for any especial purpose. -
The beaver's hind foot has five toes.<
On tile:nextto the outside toe the nail
is split or divided and at the first con-
sideratlon One would naturally sup-
pose this to be a freak. However, this
split toe -nail really explains the ani-
mal's waterproofing process.

nail

sacs,. In waterproofing his coat the
