Before you go away show the man of the house where things are--pots and pans, bread board, clean dish _ towels, soap, matches, milk and bread tickets, and so on. And, for goodness' view; men never can find anything if they have to look for it. And the cook book; too; he may want to look up something. -- There used to be an old song, "My Wife's Gone to the Country, Hurrah! Hurrah!" The "hurrah" means differ- ent things to different husbands. It may be merely whistling to keep your courage up. Or it may be planning to prise for the little woman when she returns. Perhaps it's the prospect of eating whenever and whatever you choose or bringing home a few old cronies for a snack at any hour. And a few there be who look forward to testing out culinary theories of their own and trying their hand at some real he-man dishes. So, you see, here are some _ very 'spaces to flip them in. With maple syrup or corn syrup they're an Al des- sert for a cool evening. Suppose you want to bring the old gang in for a feed some evening--what then? Open up the dining room table full length and spread it with the big- gest tablecloth. Better not use the best one, though, in case you spill things. Let everyone help themselves from an array of savory he-man dish- es--a whole ham, rye bread, cheese, biscuits, little green onions and a whole row of pickles and relishes. Find a big platter and pile it up with peaches, cherries, great wedges of watermelon for the centrepiece. You could even have an upside down cake. It's easy with prepared cake- flour. Follow the recipe given later on. But don't forget to light the oven beforehand. Then, when you put the batter in the oven, go off and leave it --_-mow the lawn or do anything you like for thirty minutes so long as you time yourself and don't forget it. It will make a hit and you don't need to tell anyone it's all ready mixed for you. Have a bowl of ice, ginger ale, grape juice and orange or lime juice and so on around it, with good tall glasses for everyone. If you are proud of your coffee have a fresh pot with cream and sugar for everyone to help them- selves to as many cups as they please. laudable reasons for "hurrahing." But this business of eating whatever you like any time of the day may not be so good. You don't want to look peaked and feel crotchety from badly chosen, hurried meals at a lunch counter or a corner of the kitchen table. On the other hand, don't be tempted to dine not wisely but too well; it does awful things to your waistline. If you are to be fit and fair at forty you cannot afford to pass over a few simple rules of diet, even for the few short weeks your wife has left you alone. For one thing you should really have about a pint of milk each what you have had on your porridge in the morning or in a soup, custard -or other dessert. Eat some fresh vege- tables like carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, and so on, and have a salad at one meal even if you aren't as keen about it as you ought to be. Was there ever a man who didn't like pancakes or boast about his abil- ity to make them on the trail? There are pancake flours ready-mixed and we suggest to your wife that she Now, if you go up to the cottage for the week-end, don't tell everybody how easy it is or act too pleased with yourself. Better just say you're man- aging to scrape along and have 3 special word of praise for the good dinner your wife has ready for you. Keep the coffee pot clean and remem- ber to order cream. French Toast Beat one egg slightly and add a lit- tle salt, about quarter teaspoonful, then mix with about three-quarters cupful of milk. Melt a piece of but- ter in a frying-pan, dip a slice of stale bread in the egg and milk mixture un- till it is well moistened but not too soft. Put it in the frying-pan and when browned on one side, place a small piece of butter on top and turn the bread over--an egg-turner is a good tool for this--to brown on -the other side. Serve at once with syrup: This amount of egg and milk mixture will do about six or eight slices of bread. Upside-Bown Cake. Melt two tablespoonfuls of buter in a heavy, large frying-pan. Add three- quarters cupful of brown sugar, spreading it evenly over the surface of the pan. On this arrange drained pineapple slices, drained peach, pear leave you a package.
