and it is said that the sally lunn variety was made famous by s. bak- er there, who heard a girl of that name crying her wares in the streets. The baker bought Sally's business, and composed a popular song about her name, which made the cakes famous and the baker wealthy. Bhrewsbury cakes were the inven- tion of a Bhrcwsbhr! baker, who kept the recipe s strict aewet until the day of his death. and Ecoles cakes were first made in the Lan- cashirs town of Eooles, where they mo]; s‘ prominent part in the an- nual religious festivals.

The tiniest veils are still the smartest and those made of plain maiinc or net, and are worn mainly lo keel! the hair in place at the "offside" of the hat. Veils continue to be worn with toques and small Wat- tgau types as well as sailors. ‘There is a new circular veil of plain net with a border of chenille dots and

v s centre motif of these same dots.

It is worzfthrown over the hat so the dots trim the crown of the hat. It is especially effective in black with white dots and worn with a black hat.

Red in s gay clear shade called lipstick rouge is a color you will want to consider ,when planning‘ your accessories. Remember ‘that red, and especially this particular red, can be paired ofl with every one of the costume colors sponsored this season and with the two big neutrals~beigo and grey-it is un- beatalble.

The red handbag will be the most popular accessory in this color and it is particularly good looking in patent leather. Red belts in all widths and all leathers make it pos- sible for you to repeat this color in your frock. Many of the new fabrics have a touch of red in the design of the print or worked into the mix- ture of the liens. By picking out these bright spots in the fabric and emphasizing it by a bag or belt, one will be able to achieve anesting and individual touches.

This same shade of red is obtain- able in millinery so one has another accessory item with which tn work.

Dorothy Dix’ Letter _Box

From Good Home?--Take Pity on De- v pendents’ Pride and Humor" Their

Weaknesses, Urges Dorothy Dix - Cruel Mother Who Pinches Baby,

Dear Miss Dix-My life at home has been very miserable and I have

decided to run away. I am l8 years old. PLAIN REDS.

I also have a letter from this girl's mother in which she says that she is broken-hearted- over her daughter being un- happy at home and so dissatisfied that she is think- ing of running away, and she doesn't know why this should be the case because both she and the girl's father love her dearly and have made many sacrifices to give her every advantage that they possibly could. But the girl won't study at school. She wasn't interested in her violin lessons and wouldn't practice. she won't help with the house- work. Bhe won't do anything but mope and pity barge“, and thg poor distracted mother doesn't know what to do about it.

Answer: - I would say to the mother not to worry hflseli $10k hY lhk-lh! the situation tragically. Laugh it off if she can. 1f not at least ignore it. For what ails the girl is that she is l6 and she will get over that and come to her senses if given a little time. It is a very common thing for adolescent girls to be morbid and to dramatize themselves as filth"! 0! WU-

Very often they imagine themselves as foster-children who have been stolen from millionaire parents of high social position. They think that is why they are so superior to their parents and their other brothers and sisters, and why washing dishes and making beds is so repugnant to them. Very often they consider themselves mistreated, and regard every mild reproof as a deadly afiront, and they have a perfectly grand time going on orgies of tears. _

Now these morbid girls are bound to have an audience, and the more

GARDENING

rkunna r-nowns

I

Among thinners tender flowers are gladiolus, dahlia and cannla. the tubers or corn-ls af which are

‘ ted. These are planted in the order named, the eannas, particu- larly being rather tender and un- able to stand any frost. Plant them

. all to a depth of about three times

the diameter of the tuber or bulb in ordinary soil and slithtl! abal- lower in clay. Gladiolus and cannas prefer fairly rich open soil and make a good showing when grown in clumps, the former planted four to five inches apart and the can- nas a foot. Dahllas will thrive in almost any soil, giving good results in ash dumps mixed with a little clay. They shohld be staked, and have at least two and a half feet between plants. Dahliss are splen- did things for producing a tall screen quickly, the writer runn-

ing across an excellent example of this last aumme where Mr. Mar-

tin Haskill of Fenelon Falls, Ont-

ario, hsd planted a row of these

flowers for years in front of his

CAN START GARDENING YET

Itianottoolatetoputinmany flowers and vegetables. Of course, if possible, use started plants instead of seed. with long season things

they can worry their families and the more mother pets them and tries to amuse and entertain them, the more hysterical they get. So the best home remedy is just not to observe Mamies hysterics. There is no point in going about with the expression of an Early Christian Martyr i! no one B9951"- sntly notices that you are not grinning like a Cheshire eat. There is no i encouragement in going on a hunger fast if no onecommen‘ on your lscl: of appetite. There is no thrill in threatening to run away from home if instead of mother beeseeching you with tears not to leave she remarks that perhaps a change would do you good.

You see when you cut up you have to have an audience and if every- body slss in the family goes about their business without paying any st- tention to you, you simply can't stage your little show. I ,

To the girl I would say: Don't be a little nitwit. Wake up and try to see yourself as you are and then you will realize that your unhappiness is not the result of your surroundings, but come from your secret sense of failure in not having taking advantage of the opportunities of education that your parents have given you. It is your conscience pricking you that makes you miserable.

Everybody is miserable who is lazy and selfish and self-centered, sud

who is cheating on a debt of honor, and that is what you are doing. Your parents have made every sacrifice to send you to school and you won't study. You won't help your mother with the work and bear your part of the family burdens, and so you know you are a quitter. That is what hurts. But you are too much of a coward to take your punishment, so you blame other people for it. Just realize that and face about. Study hard at school. Be mother's little helper. And ycu will find that you have chased away the giocms, and that you are happy instead of miserable, and there is no place like home, sweet home. As for running sway, no matter what sort of home you have, you would be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. It would mean that you would have no place to sleep at night, that you would have nothing to cat except the scraps you begged at back doors, that you would be thrown in the company of hobocs, and that in all probability you would be arrested as s. vagrant before twenty-four hours were over and thrown into jail and kept there until your father could come for you. The worst home on earth is heaven compared to what a girl has to go through who runs away from it.

There is no romance to it, no thrilling adventure, no noble youth with soulful eyes and a big bank account who will come along at the critical moment and rescue you and take you off to a palace to live. ‘There is nothing in it but dirt and degradation and remorse and the gutter;

Don't be fool enough even to think about such a thing.

, DOROTHY DIX. I O O I I O

Dear Dorothy Dub-When people have to have their homes with some one else, why are they so difficult to get along with? Why do they develop such an extreme sensitiveness? Why can't they realize that others in the family need some consideration, too? Why must one trend as if on eggs in dealing with them? Why must they have special invitations to join fam- ily activities? Why must they wear the air of a martyr? In short, why can't they make the burden they are to others easier to bear?

ANSWER. IF YOU CAN. Answer:

I can't answer it. I gave up trying to answer the conundrum long ago. The only explanation I can suggest is that dependence is a shame that cuts so deeply into the soul of a man or woman that the wound al- ways aches, they are always conscious of it and always looking out for those about them to hurt them afresh, either accidentally or on purpose,

Hence they set up sensitlvencss as a sort of defense mechanism and spread their feelings all over the place so that it is impossible to move without stepping on them. It is their way of getting the attentions that they crave and making themselves important in the family circle. And that is pitifully childish, but it is pitiful all the same.

The other members of a household who belong in it by rights, who are paying thc bills, doing the work, keeping it a prosperous, going con- cern, do not have to be handled with gloves. They give and take, assert their rights, express their desires, do not think of being hurt or offended if their tastes are not considered, or they are not consulted about every- thing.

But poor old Aunt Lou, who is a pensioner, will drink her coffee un- sweetened and weep for days over the way she is treated if somebody in- advertsntly forgets to pass her the sugar. Grandma says her own children don't want her and she had better be dead, if she isn't specially asked to sec every stranger who calls. Grandpa refuses to speak for. a week at a time if he isn't consulted about things that hc knows nothing whatever about. '

0f course, all of this does make those who are dependent upon us harder to get along with, but their lot is so forlorn, they are so piteous, that those of us who do not have to find out how steep are the stairs in another man's house, as the Spanish proverb puts it, may well bear with them patientlfand take the trouble to humor their little weaknesses.

DOROTHY DIX. O I I O I I

Dear Miss Dix-Do you think it brutal to pinch a child w make it mind in the presence of guests? Ha cries, but they think he is crying be. cause I scolded him. My mother says I am a snake to do it. She is angry at ms every time l‘. do it, she loses her Head about it. C. N. O.

Answer:

I do not see how any mother coud be so cruel as to bruise the tender uosh of a little child by pinching it. You are living too late. You belong in the days of the Inquisition and would have made a grand torturer. I don't believe it is neoessa y to best up children to make them behave. If you will establish the habit of obedience of children in everyday life, you
