Open Air For Women.

When women everywhere get rid of
the idea that time spent in open air rec
reatlon is time wasted. we shall see a
finer race of human beings. The girls of
the period have gone long way in ac-
ceptance of this healthful belief in fresh
air and exercise. American girls have
ever been admired for beauty and charm.
but hitherto our young women as a whole
nave lacked staying power. They have
had vlyacity, esprit and grace. but they
nave tired too soon and faded too early.

diet sleep and systematic life in the open.
be far lovelier then than at 20 and little

as an individual. there is no reason why
she should be inferior to man in vigor nor
less able than he to take on herself the

English women can no longer carry off
the palm from their American cousins for
enjoyment of outdoor exercise in an

walks and rides. Their only remaining
advantage lies in the fact that we have

There are two articles on the food list
that do not receive the attention they de-
serve as spring medicines. They are
horse radish and rhubarb. Horse radish
quickens the sluggish blood and makes
one positively frisky. Rhubarb is whole
some and cleansing to the system and is
usually prepared as sauce or in pie form.
a delicious way to serve it is to stew
the required amount with sugar and a
tiavoring of lemon peel. Line the bottom
of a charlotte mold with bread cut to the
exact shape and the sides with lady
fingers, all dipped in melted butter. Fill
the center with stewed rhubarb, which
should be very moist, cover and bake
for an hour. Turn out and serve with
cuStard sauce.
Another rhubarb dainty is made by
combining this wholesome garden product
with oranges. Peel and remove the white
pith from dozen large oranges cut
them into slices and discard all seeds
Add the thinly peeled yellow rind of half
the oranges, three pounds of graduated
sugar and two quarts of finely cut rhu-
barb. Cook gently for about three-quar-
tiers of an hour stirring almost constant
ly. Remove the scum rs it rises. Pour
into jelly tumhers when done and seal
when cold. This is an Improvement on

If you do not know what to give your

If you give him something TO wear, he
won't wear it, He declares it doesn't
fit or it isn't becoming or else he won't
wear it because he never wore one be-

She is the girl who is not too bright

She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that She cannot always have the

Ada c. Sweet in Woman's Home Com
panion, writing of what she says is the
national fault of our girls, says:
1T is painful to enlarge upon the lack
Of reverence, which is the second great
cause of our national trait of bad man
nerS Every one should strive to make
up in mature life for the irreyerence
which has marred childhood and youth.
A tine character is impossible without
great ideals, without awe for what is
majestic, respect for human achieve
ments, reverence for all good human or
divine. The boy who calls the president
of the United States by nickname or
the girl who writes to him Familiarity,
asking for his autograph or photograph,
are to be pitied. They have not yet learn
ed even respect for great station con-
ferred by the suffrage of Il mighty people.
They look down and nod at The president.
The flies patronize the lion.
The great German Goethe in the
greatest passage in all his novels teaches
that there are three references to be
learned: First, reverence for what is
above us, for God and for all those who
show his power and truth; second, rev
ercnce for those on a level with us, as
each human soul is n particle of divinity;
third, and greatest of all, reverence for
all below US, especially those in poverty,
suffering and humiliation. This last les
son Goethe pointed out to us as made
clear and illustrated by the life of the
founder of Christianity. Cultivate rev.
erence for all that is good, true and
beautiful for the human soul in its great
ness and in its weakness You may be-
lieve at first that no one is more wise
than you nor better. Smother that be-
lief for awhile and defer to others. Study
the best that is in the people around you.
Think more of them and less of yourself.
Try to make them comfortable and hap
Ply in all little ways. At heart cherish
high and unselfsh ideals. If the mass
Of ambitious American girls would do
this for awhile, the manners of Ameri-
cans would improve, for it is always

standard of manners"

a ilsh, which she had baked in a pan.
When she tried to lift it. she was Mt her
wits end. 1t stuck to the pan here. there
and everywhere She was ashamed to
have her motherin-law see the dilapida-

neighbor to help. At last the fish was re-
moved by the aid of carving knife. a

platter, so the young cook, with tears in
her eyes, made n sauce and served it

ma better pan for baking fish. There
was nothing of the kind in the stores, so
she found an intelligent tinsmith to carry
out her ideas. She had a piece of sheet
iron cut to fit loosely into a shallow bake
pan, and at each end of the tin she had
