You may fhink there is not much art requîredc f0 make hot cakes for breakfas.t. But if reaily does, fake a littie art and if took a lot of experimeufing for me te get the recipe in a form that couid be givenf0 others. Ilearned-to make, sour dottghs -many years ago when I used ta hike up-f0 a lookout in the foresf. There during the sommer months an interesfing aid man kept the vigil, for force tfire?, X-He had whaf lie caled is "starter."' It was 'some very sour-smelîing, daugh in a,-bowl. I say saur smiell- ing but a good sournless. He kepf if covered and guarded if well; that is, he neyer wanted if f0 gef o warm or fa have if tchilied either, We ustle aiauigh and say he had t<" sleep wifh if' at nighf and carry if fa somie cool place in the dayftim.e, perbaps ta a monunfa-in strearn in very liot wea.ther; st leasf, ta ae shady place. The nice fhing about this starter is thaf if impraves wifh age and the more off en if is used the more active if is. ' i the first place, the starter is begun by dissolving a yeasf cake in a smaîi amount ai flour and wafer and k eeping if in a warm place until if grows and gets very ight and spongy. The surdaughIs are made by sfirring a, cupful of this starter into a larger bowl oIf four and water fa make a drap baffer; by this I mean a, rather heavy baffer. This is done before you retire af nighf, When you &et up in the morning this mass a f dough is lighf and active. Bel are you do anyfhing maore, you take ouf a cup af it and put if awvay in aý cover-ed bowl. Yý_our electric refrigerafor, if you have one, is just thce place for if and this is yourstarter for future use, Tovar Tresses.'

In addîGition to the raid ad switches of imnported hair wh whîc most oenare Lamiliar, there are ,ctiiyear pin-on tresseýs týf silk.

These tresses are already dressed in permanent form when purchased, so you need not fear your unskilled hands %vilI have difficulty coiling thern into the arrangement Aniother point in favo;r-of these mnan-made rather than wýoman-grown tresýses is thie uniform lengith of' the silk.

Then into your bowl of' dough, which, for the average f amily should be about three cups, you drop one wîhole egg, one-fourth cup, of sugar, a rounding teaspoon of sait, andbeat ail well, You beat this to thin it down so that it runs. Then dissolve a teaspoon' of soda with a teaspoon of water,,and cut it in, but do 'not beat any more. I just a few minutes your hot cakes are ready to fry. These cakes are light and deli- cious. If you preferflot to grease your griddle, youcan put-,about two tablespoons of shortening into your batter, If you do flot use ail of your sýour dough batter for breakfast, you can make roils out of it, or a loaf or' bread for dinner-in the evening, for it takes a little longer for these rolîs to come up than it does regu- lar yeast roils. Ali you do for the rolîs is to stir in more flour and a littie shortening and( work the batter up thiclc, Just as for any iight bread,- This saur dough bread 1s extra fine and has a flavour of its own.
