Family Menus

v BY SISTER MARY, t NEA Service Writer A good plain cake rule that can be varied in several ways is often wanted. The following rule makes a cake that is very satisfactory to serve with fresh fruit at this season of the year. It's economical, too. The variations are many. Two or three tablespoons of cocoa can be added to make an acceptable emergency chocolate cake to serve with vanilla ice cream. The addition of spices results in a tender cake delicious with apple sauce and requiring no icing. Cake Can Be Dessert A layer cake with a. custard filling, using the yolks for the custard and putting the white in the cake, can be concocted to furnish the whole dessert. Half the rule can be used to make a Washington cream pie, cup cakes or “upside-down" cake. In the case of the "pie,” the egg white is saved for the top frosting and the "pie” is filled with jam or fresh fruit. The spice or chocolate cake‘can be made with a combination of butter and lard in place of all butter. Extra salt must be added to take care of the lard, whieft is an unsalted fat. Keep in mind that the flavor of cake made with any unsalted fat is improved if extra salt is added to the cake batter. tt n u Plain Cake Recipe One cup granulated sugar, Vi cup shortening. 12-3 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, Vt cup sweet milk, 2 eggs, 1 2 teaspoon vanilla, M teaspoon salt. Cream shortening and gradually beat in sugar. Stir in 4 tablespoons sifted flour. Mix and sift remain-

ing flour with baking powder and salt. Add well beaten eggs to first mixture and beat hard with dover beater. Add milk and remaining flour mixture alternately to first mixture, stirring just enough to keep the batter smooth. Stir in vanilla and pour into oiled and floured cake pan. Bake 40 minutes in a moderate oven. If baked in layers, bake 20 minutes. Half the rule will make twelve cup cakes. P. H. N.

Teach Children Manners by Your Own Courteous Ways

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON "How shall I teach my children manners?” * ‘‘By being manerly yourself.” A hard question with an easy answer. And that’s a fact. If we watch the gentlemanly, thoughtful boy, or the courteous, likable little girl, we jump to one conclusion: "What fine parents they must have!” Children can't be allowed to act like pirates imtil they are 6 or 7, and then, the family taking a notion to teach them the amenities, be expected to respond to such orders as, "Be polite to the lady.”” Say ‘Thank you,’ Johnny,” "Let Mary go first,” “Stand up when Aunt Jane comes in,” "Don’t grab the first piece out of the box,” and "Gentlemen don't slam doors and throw their things on the floor.”

Start Teaching Early No. the time to breed gentleness in the bone is wtien the bones are forming. Children may and do profit by reminding and watchful suggestion, but the lesson of manners goes a hundred times deeper and lasts a thousand times longer if they see it done instead of hearing it talked, about. And they must see it from the cradle up. A boy who sees his father slamming doors and throwing newspapers on the floor will naturally expect the same right. I wonder how many fathers realize the George Washington they are to their small sons. The man idealized can do no wrong. What he does is right, to his boy, whether it be shouting at people, walking ahead of his wife, cussing the neighbors or kicking the cat. Then, too, girls imitate their mothers. The woman casual of behavior can scarcely expect her daughter to be otherwise. On the other hand the gentle mother who stresses her own good manners should have the same type A daughter. Allow for Impulse Os course we often see discrepancies in the behavior of children of refined parents. But we * must make allowances for the and impatience of childhood.

Sept. 6.-Stylists have determined to keep the problem of doubtful skirt lengths alive as long as possible and seized on the first mention of long skirts for evening in the first cable report from Paris to try to start some more of last year's fireworks. However, this has fallen rather fiat on a style world too well informed to be agitated further on a subject which it realizes has, for the present at least, found itself. The agreement of Paris creators on the subject is rather amazing, considering that in the ranks of the Haute Couture there are so many individualists. Controversy Is Avoided It is obvious that any controversial attitude to the fall season’s fashions is exactly what is being avoided by Paris as well as America, and in other fashion relations there seems to be a pleasant unanimity which should make it a rather simple process to schedule the styles for fall. Just to make it more emphatic, we say it again, the lengths which American creators agreed on in showing their first groups of fall fashions have not been materially changed through the reviewing of French collections. Twelve or thirteen inches from the floor is a fair average for the town costume. The same may?serve for sports skirts. More Variation Here For the afternoon frock there Is more variation, but it is a variation which is agreeable enough and need cause no discussion. The afternoon frock, it is recognized, must be longer than the town costumes and shorter than the evening gowns, but whether it is eight inches from the ground or falls lower to reach the ankles, whether it has an even hemline or a slightly irregular one, may all be made to suit the whim of the customer. For evening, an even instep or floor length still is approved, but there is good authority for cutting the skirt up a bit at the front and letting it trail at back. Simple Service By placing a whole dinner course on one .platter, both serving and dishwashing problems are simplified.

Your Child

Time will tell a different story and almost invariably such children emerge a little iater with every evidence of good breeding and good manners. If not, there is some other reason. So I repeat that real manners are ingrained by example and polished by suggestion. The superficial credos of behavior never will have the ring of the genuine if they are merely veneered on top of a cheap article. And so, as we ever are staging a show for the critical and analytical eyes of our youngsters, I think It behooves us all to amend the motes in our own conduct before we try taking out the beams in either those eyes or the conduct of their owners. True manners, like charity, begin at the doorstep—and if we want them as company for the children, we will havf to urge them to stay as our own guests.
