FOR THE VERY YOUNG COOKS.
If you would have gifts for your
daughters or for the little girls of
your acquaintance at small cost per-
haps you will like my plan which
seems to give pleasure all out of pro-
portion to the expense and effort re-
quired.
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

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
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
2x3 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 ani 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 faintly size and place with these.
Dividing recipes is not difficult if
one keeps in mind a few rules. 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.
1 Show the little 'girl hew 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 oe
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, T learned that all
new linen which is not intended for
immediate use should be thoroughly
washed and ironed before being placed
in chests or linen closets. Laundering
removes the dressing which is found
nowadays in even the finest and most
expensive linens, and prevents rotting
along the creases. Choice linen which
is to be laid away for some time
should be carefully wrapped in gen-
erous folds of dark blue tissue paper
In order to preserve its snowy white -
pees.

She left Dedbury at one o'clock and
told Phillips to drive her back to Lon-
don. She had decided not to return to
South Barton. It had occurred to her
instinctive fight for life even in the
case of a suicide who flings himself
into the water."
"Mr. Merrington must be told no-
thing," said Ruth quietly, and then
after a pause. "Do you really think
Mr. Ardington was mad?"
"0f course. Could there be any
other explanation of the way he be-
haved to you—of his apparent hatred
of Merrington—of the accident?"
"`I don't know, Dr. Trehorn. I—I
was wondering."
"He's always been a queer chap,"
Trehorn continued, "and his . father
was a bit queer. Well, I think you're
right about Merrington. He must be

against him. For one thing, it is very

Phillips said he would like to return I
to South Barton that night, that he
would leave about six o'clock, and that I
he could take a message to Fletcher.
So no telegram was sent, after all.
Ruth had tea and then went up to
her bedroom, more beautiful than
ever, so it seemed to her after her
long absence. Ruth had a bath, chang-
ed her clothes, and went down to the
library, where she got on the tele-
phone to Dr. Trehorn and asked for.
the latest news of Merrington. He
told her that the patient was still
asleep and that everything was going
on all right. He added that he was
glad she had returned to London.
"You see," he said, "we can keepin
touch with each other on the 'phone."
She hung up the receiver and was
about to leave the room when the tele-
phone bell rang and she returned to
the instrument.
"Hallo," she said and a woman's
voice asked if Sir Alexander Bradney
was at home. The sound was very
faint as though there was something
wrong with the line.
"He is not in yet," Ruth replied.
