A standard sized cup holds 16 tableâ€" rpoonfuls, oneâ€"half holds half the number and so on. A tablespoon loveli full equals three teaspoonfuls. An egg! beaten fairly light amounts to about‘ four good tablespoonfuls, so in taking, oneâ€"fourth of a recipe calling for one! egg about one tablespoonful is used.| I am giving a few smallâ€"quantity recipes here, perhaps enough for a beâ€" ginner, though probably everyone who makes a cook booklet will have wt least one recipe which she will want to reduce to about oneâ€"fourth the family size and place with these. Because these little recipes proved so popular with both girls and mothâ€" ers 1 wrote out a few of the best on {ood white paper, put them together o form a booklet, made a cover of heavy paper and tied prettily. Then with the cover decorated with a gay| hand painted design, or easier still, by pasting on an attractive and apâ€", propriate colored picture from a magazine, I had a "cook book" to deâ€" light almost any little girl. These little cook books cost pracâ€" tically nothing and if one has a penny or so to spare, a few little tins add immensely to the gift. Tiny muffin or patty pan tins, a loaf tin about 2x3 inches, heartshaped tins, a small pie tin, a fancy cooky cutter, all please. If a tiny mixing bow! could be added, mother‘s would not be in use when she wanted it! Many mothers who would really like to begin their daughters‘ training early find it hard enough to divide a recipe for themselves when they want to make only half the quantity called for; and when it comes to dividing a recipe into quarters, fifths or eighths, to make a cake or a batch of cookies just right for a doll‘s tea party, why that‘s out of the question when mother is busy (and mothers always are!). "Thus do fractions make cowards of us all"â€"to misquote. To answer the needs of my own little daughter at five years and the rather envious young neighbors of six and nine whose mothers wouldn‘t let them try a big cake, I hunted up the individual class recipes which I used in the days when I taught cooking.

Let me tell you, in the words of Raymond Thompson, how this oiling is done. The front feet c the beaver are much like human handâ€" bhaving long slender fingers. The nai are long and slightly curved, to ald the animal in digging and in handlin« the trees, mud and stones which he uses in his work. The hind feet, on the other hand, are very large an strong and are fully webbed for swim ming. The nails on the hind toes are rather short and stubby, in compari son to those of the fore feet, as th« are not used for any especial purpose The beaver‘s hind foot has five toes On the next to the outside toe the na! is split or divided and at the first con slderation one would naturally sup pose this to be a freak. However, this split toeâ€"mail really explains the an mal‘s waterproofing process. Conne~! ing with this opening at the toons are tiny ducts which lead from the 0| sacs. In waterproofing his coat the beaver simply combs his fur with :s hind feet, this action causing the oil to flow from the sacs to the opening at the split nail. Mr. Thompson says that when he was first told this, by an old woodsman, he regarded it as n joke. But afterward he took every op portunity to watch, and, like other: found the statement to be abso‘ute!; true.=â€"L,. E.
