To this end they not only spend vast sums of money in the beauty shops, but they. heroically submit themselves to the tortures of the inquisition. Many a_martyr at the stake has suffered less than the women do who are parboiled and skinned alive in the attempt to acquire a schoolgirl com plexion; who undergo all the agony of siow starvation trying to attain a hoyish figure, and who grow old hefore their time tolling at the never- ending iahor of trying to keep young And the pitiful part of it all is that it is love's labor lost. These frightful sacrifices are made i vain, for in spite of all effort no one can cheat time. The yvears put their brand upon us, and no matter how artfully we dye our locks or how skillfully we hand-paint our complexions or how near we understudy a living skeleton, we cannot really camouflage our age. After 40, every inch we take off our waistlines we put in the lines of our faces. Our hairdresser can give us young-looking hair, but he cannot give us the fresh, young faces to go below it. We can bhuy ourselves flapper clothes, but no eartly ¢ can make us look like a flapper in them. So, inasmuch as nnot be young and beautiful at middle age, no | matter how hard we strive to do so, it often occurs to me that we might far betier spend our thoughts and energies developing spiritual attractions instead of physical one: IFor, after all, a woman's looks are a very small part of her. They are merely her shop window where she hangs out a few charms to catch the eye, but if she holds our interest and our affection and admiration she has to carry 1 bigger stock than that. She has to have qualities of brain and heart that all wool and a yard wide, and that are warranted to wear well and not shrink in the wash. Suppose, then, that instead of doing her daily dozen to keep her body supple a woman did her daily dozen to Keep her mind and her sympathies Don’t you think she would realiy better results?

As reliable in the hands of the novice as in those of the experienced housewife: Perfect leavening —even texture—good ap-- pearance—wholesomeness— economy! All are yours in the baking if you use spiritual dozen as religiously as they do ntly exercise their minds and It women would do their daily their daily physical dozen: if they would consta their hearts and keep from getting rigid and stiff in their opinjons; if they would keep themselves standing on tiptoes with new ideas and interests and enthusiagsms, they would keep perpetually yvoung. Or if they didn't nobody would know it or care, beciuse they would have the charm that makes them ageless. that takes the joy out of life for women nowadays is counting calories, becau: whow they are always about twice as much as they should be, no matter how litile vou seem to have eaten or how often vou have denied yourself dishes for which your mouth watered.

C. MONDAY, MAY 3. 1926. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. An Economical Blackboard. One mother say My little “kindergartner” wanted a blackboard of her very own at home. The family finances did not permit the purchase of one, so her father started to work out in the woodshed. Selecting three planks, he sawed them to the required size and nailed them together. Then he padded the smooth side with several lavers of newspaper and stretched tightly over this a good grade of dull black ollcloth, tacking it to the rough sides of the planks. The finished blackboard affords the little one all the delights of a store product. Strawberry Sandwiches. Work one tablespoonful of hittgr until creamy. Add one tablespoonful of pulverized sugar gradually, beat- ing well. Then stir in one-fourth tea spoonful of vanilla if liked. Spread the paste on unbuttered slices of hread.
