Hot Cakes to Eat With Maple 
Syrup. 
When making bread, after it is ready 
to be put into the tins, reserve a portion. 
Roll out to about the thickness required 
for doughnuts. Cut into strips and frv 
in hot fat. If the bread is started at 
night you may have these for breakfast. 
Dip Cakes.—One cup sour milk, one 
teaspoonful soda, one-fourth teaspoonful 
salt, one egg beaten light and flour to roll. 
Roll out thin as if for cookies. Cut into 
6282 Child’s Princesse Petticoat, 
2, 4 and 6 Years. 
small squares and fry in deep fat. They 
should be very light and puffy. 
Buckwheat Cakes.—One pint milk scald¬ 
ed and cooled, one-half teaspoonful salt. 
When lukewarm add one-fourth of a yeast 
cake which has been dissolved in a little 
warm water; one cup buckwheat flour and 
one cup white flour. Let rise over night. 
In the morning stir in one-fourth tea¬ 
spoonful soda and one tablespoonful mo¬ 
lasses. Beat vigorously before cooking. 
Save a little of the batter to act as yeast 
for the next lot. Whatever cakes are left 
from breakfast may also be broken into 
small pieces and put into the batter. There 
is no waste when made in this way.

and seamed to its lower edge. The quan¬ 
tity of material required for the medium 
size is 1% yard 36 inches wide with 2 % 
yards of insertion and 2)4 yards of em¬ 
broidery. The pattern 5282 is cut in sizes 
for children of 2, 4 and 6 years of age; 
price 10 cents. 
This long coat for infants is made with 
a little yoke and body portion to which 
the full skirt is attached and which is 
quite concealed by the cape. The sleeves 
6274 Infant’s Long Coat, One Size. 
are full, in bishop style, and are finished 
with roll-over flare cufls. The collar also 
is.tn roll-over style and the coat is closed 
with buttons and buttonholes. The quan¬ 
tity of material required is 6 yards 21 or 
3 yards 44 inches wide with 1^ yard of 
silk for lining for hood and cape. The 
pattern 5274 is cut in one size only; price

It should be woman’s office to move in 
the midst of practical affairs and to fill 
them all, were it even the scouring of 
pots and kettles, with an atmosphere of 
loveliness and joy.—Hawthorne. 
The Bookshelf. 
The Bitter Cry of the Children, by 
John Spargo. Many people still read 
Mrs. Browning’s poem with a comfortable 
feeling that the tiny slaves of child labor 
in England were long ago emancipated 
and that, in any case, such conditions 
could not obtain in free America. To 
anyone with this point of view Mr. Spargo 
offers a series of wholesome shocks. He 
discusses the responsibility of poverty for 
excessive infantile disease and mortality, 
and describes remedial measures attempt¬ 
ed in Europe, and sadly needed in many 
cases here. Photographs of ill-nourished 
rickety and tuberculous children are re¬ 
produced, with descriptions of the condi¬ 
tions responsible for them. The blighting 
effects of enforced labor (for poverty is 
ever an exacting task master) as applied 
to mothers and children, is depicted with 
a directness of expression all the more 
impressive because of its simplicity. The 
remedial measures suggested arc in no 
sense revolutionary, unless we are ready 
to consider the Golden Rule a revolution¬ 
ary and inflammatory mandate. 
It may be asked what has “The Bitter 
Cry of the Children” to do with the rural 
dweller. We have always considered the 
country home the very fountain head of 
all that is best in our National life. It is 
there that the ethics of industrial life 
should be most impartially studied, and 
every reform movement discussed with 
an open mind. In the city a man whose 
daily bread may depend upon the tacit 
support of an industrial abuse is in no 
position to look upon remedial measures 
with entire freedom from prejudice. For 
this reason the more knowledge of mod¬ 
ern industrial conditions is disseminated, 
the more intelligent is the effort to pro¬ 
cure remedial measures, and in all such 
work the city must look to the country 
for cooperation. Mr. Spargo, who is in 
close touch with humanitarian and labor 
reform work both in the Old World and 
the New, gives numerous references to 
authorities bearing out special points dis¬ 
cussed. It is a saddening book, yet, we 
hope, a harbinger of better things. Pub¬ 
lished by the Macmillan Company, New 
York; price $1.50 net; postage 13 cents 
additional. 
New England Indian Pudding. —Take 
one pint of milk, scald it and pour it over 
two heaping tablespoon fills of Indian 
meal, in which a saltspoonful of salt, one- 
half teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-quarter 
of a whole nutmeg grated, have been 
blended. Stir briskly, and when perfectly 
smooth add one-third cup of chopped suet, 
one-third cup of molasses; when this is 
well mixed add one pint of cold milk. 
Beat well, turn into a greased dish, set it 
in another containing warm water and 
bake three hours in a moderate oven. 
Serve hot with hard sauce. This pudding 
will look as if it had cream and eggs in 
it, and it should be stirred gently three 
times during the first hour and a half.
