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 The Flidden Hour w.-------.. BY' .i. B.

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. As the girl grows proficient in handling the small recipes, give her a r..

Her cheeks were hot with shame. (To be continued.) 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. -4 Minard's Liniment for Dandruff. --"s --�-- The great charm of conversation. consists less in the display of one's own wit and intelligence than in the power to draw forth the resources of others.

"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 told>nothing of this terrible charge' against him. For one thing, it is very e likely an invention of :;Ardington's. 1 But Merrington would not believe t that. Merrington would ` be afraid that the lost part of his life contained this awful tragedy. He is likely to be very ill for some time—no danger, mind you, as long as there are no complications.

Dar -lord Dyes 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.
