Nine men out of ten are more interested in food than are women; this gives them a big start in the art. Men predominato in the membership of gourmet societies and in good restaurants, just as they predominate in the best kitchens.
But it is still considered rather effeminate for å man to know how to cook. You've heard the story of the man who rang up the telophone exchange to ask them how to cook a steak and onions,

WHAT MAKES LIARS AND DRUNKARDS
THE human habits of lying. heavy drinking and exces- alve smoking were attributed
by Dr. Ernest Hadley, director. of biological sciences at the Washington (D.C.) School of Psychiatry, to interruptions of feeding during infancy.
Irregular feeding exasperates the baby and this resentmeat, it re- peated, creates a paychic state called "negativism” which results in stub- bornness, according to Dr. Hadley,
In adult life, he explained, this
You might get a Continental man ringing up to ask a hundred-and- one fool questions, but how to cook the simple, steak would not be one of them, for he will have known the answer ever since. he was a small boy.
If Madame falls with a dish, and Monsieur knows all about it,
why. The consequence is that in France and other Continental coun» tries, though raw materials may not be so good, the general standard of cooking is acknowledged to be better than in Britain.

The name of the bird means night-singer (Anglo-Saxon nihte, night, and gale, singer) This reflects the popular fallacy that it sings only at night. The nightingale is beard best at night because it is then a solitary singer, whereas in the day-time its softly brilliant voice is drowned by the

Johnny breaks his TOYS
OHNNY has broken his new train, scribbled in his books, and torn up one of them to make paper darts. What a bad boy! Is he?
