OUR WEEKLY RECIPE GOOD BOY: Into a large melting pot pour one portion of medium hard work, and an equal portion of care- fully prepared play; stir with rod until properly mixed; flavor with several ounces of parental advice, not too hot, and season to taste (may be omitted if the kind in larder is of poor quality); add a number of good hooks; a nioder- ate amount of spending money, and a good sized opportunity to develop per- sonality:" allow to cook slowly for twenty-one years! Whip mixture at intervals with rod or slipper—never with tongue! - Should be delicious when done, but can. easily spoil in cooking! If unpalatable it is not your fault and 1T SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GIRL IN THE 1<1RS‘T PLACE ANY- WAY! YE CAN'T TELL ME!
