Mr.. James Lane Allen and Mr.. Ham

Frederick Harrison IN England, are a
few OF the discerning critics who see in
Maurice Hewlett new force in Eng
1ish literature. Many are asking if he
is the man who is to lead the way in
the new century, and it is interesting
to watch the growth in popularity OF this
author whose work won his first recog-
milton rather from his peers than from
the mass of people on whose Judgment
his fame must ultimately rest. His first
books, hailed by j few well known
writer's as literary events OF Importance
were followed by Forest Lovers with
its burst of popularity, and now by
Richard Yea and Nay" which has just
run into its twentieth thousand.

TO DRESS LITTLE BOYS.

Few mothers understand how to cor
rectly dress a boy of from two to four
years of age. They either put him in
trousers and make him look like a lit
tie monkey or they put p~etticoats ga
lore under his kits; in fact, some mo-
theirs appear to think that the more
flare" they give to the kits the pref
tier they are. After a boy is old
enough to don kits he should give up
wearing petticoats.
The closer the kilt clings the smart
er the effect. Under the kits should
be worn kilt trousers" which are
made different from the knee breeches.
They are wider and have no pockets.
It would be difficult to have the kits
keep their plaits long if the trousers
had pockets, for the temptation to
thrust the hands into them would be
too great for the little fellow to resist.
This is possibly the reason that the
pockets are left out.
1t Is not at all necessary that the
trousers should be of the same mater
ial as the kits. If you buy the trousers
ready made you will find that they
come only in two colors-blue and
black wooden ones for winter and white
and yellow linen for summer. These
colors will go well with almost any
material. The trousers should come
just to the knee.
l have always thought that the rea-
son why some ONE cling to the pet
ticoats for boys is on accoun of the
flannel p%etticoat, as they fear that the
child will catch cold without it. This
is a great mistake. If a boy has warm
WOODEN drawers to the ankle, long
cashmere wooden stockings and wooden
trousers, and lastly his kits, then he
is warmer and more comfortably clad
than if burdened with petticoats. In
very cold weather he can wear leggins,
never leather ones, which are both ug-
ly and unhealthful, but cloth, which
comes in tan and black. This with a
Russian blouse, or peajacket, and a
becoming cap makes a nattily dressed
boy.
In summer how much cooler,
more becomingly and and o
easily dressed is the little chap in his
linen trousers and kilt than with fan
cifully trimmed drawers and starched
petticoats. Boys underwear from the
very beginning. should be of fine ma
terial, leaving the ruf1es to his sister.

TEMPTED ME"

It was, properly speaking, the after
noon set aside by the woman's club
, for the discussion of missions. Be
fore the members could be called to
order, however, mi of the number
| started an informal talk on a subject
| somewhat nearer home, and the mat
| ter of missions was allowed to go over
to the next meeting.
The member waved aloft a newspa-
per and read an extra describing ar
rests made in a saloon which was vio-
lating the closing law by being open
on Sunday. The men and women
were all taken to the station house.
In closing the account of the very ordi-
nary occurrence the paper said:
"The proprietor was held for trial
for violation of the liquor tax law.
The magistrate committed the women
to Jail for a month each. He discharg-
ed the thirty-fve men,"
"This," said the member with the
newspaper, sis such a common hap
pening that it apparently doesn't rank
very high as an item of news, because
there is only very little space given to
it. But it makes my blood boil to
think of the injustice, the unchalleng-
ed Injustice, of the law as it is inter-
preted. Court Of justice indeed! HE
committed the women to Jail for a
month each. He discharged the thir-
ty-ive men.'
There is something appalling in this
inequality. I should like to know why
it is always the woman who must bear
the brunt of the moral storm. From
the time Of Adam, who tried to make
Eve responsible for his downfall, the
story has been the same. Just take
this case for an instance. Some men
and women were aiding the proprietor
of a saloon to break the law by buying
drinks from him. If that is an Alfonso
why were not both men and women
held to account instead of just the wo-
men? If it was not an ofense, why
were the women held at all?"
None of the other were ready
with an explanation. But many were
anxious to corroborate the first speak
err. Said one:
you notice the same thing on the
stage. The custom of making the wo-
man suffer solely fer the transgres-
sions of all has become so common that

when / was a little girl these things
were not allowed to be. Children were
children then, and not little men and
women, as they are to-day. We were
put to bed at a certain hour. We had
to render to our parents an account OF
our goings and comings, tell the names
and characters Of our little associates,
and behave ourselves generally. Now
it Is all different. The records of the
police court are filed with instances
of youthful misdoing, and we don't
have to go to the courts, either, to find
evidences Of the lack of restraint
why. I vas walking through the
street the other day, when I noticed a
crowd collected on a corner. / went to
the edge Of it and saw that a police
man and a youngster OF say fifteen or
sixteen were the central figures. The
boy was in the uniform of an expensive
and fashionable military school OF this
city. He was making a forcible and
insolent protest against the presence
of the policeman, who kept his temper
admirably and appeared to be waiting.
One of the men in the crowd explained
to me that the boy had been in the
habit of grossly annoying a little girl
of the neighborhood whenever he
passed through the street, and that on
this occasion the child had called a
policeman and caused his detention.
They were waiting for the mother of
the girl to appear and make a COM
plant.
This an only everyday instance.
That boy was bad, and he had bad as
sociates. But it is his parents who are
responsible for his course. They send
him to school and dismiss him from
their thoughts. 1t was not so when |

soda and they will cook in 20 minutes.
A nice way to serve spinach is to boil
in sailed water, drain, chop me, place
on a dish and make hot, adding a lib
eral piece of butter and salt and pepper
to season.
Spinach also makes an excellent
soup. Take what is left from the uln-
ner of the day before, chop fine and
put away. Heat when wanted over hot
water and gradually blend it with a
thin cream sauce, using three pints of
sauce for one of spinach. Season well,
rub through a sieve and you will have
a smooth, nice soup.
Spinach Salad-Wash and pick over a
peck of spinach; cook tender in one
small cup water. Drain and chop very
fine. Season to taste, marinate with a
plain French dressing and press into
a mold or molds. Small individual
molds are incest. Put away in a cold
| place and when wanted to serve, turn
out the spinach on crisp delicate let
tuce leaves, press a slice of hard boiled
egg on top of each mold, and put a little
mayonnaise around the base.
Repeated warming rel gives a rich
ness of favor to spinach much super
| ior to it's taste when first cooked, and 1t
is a convenience to cook several pecks
of it at one time, and repeat it as
needed. 1t should be kept in a cold
place. When cooking spinach, remem-

light green in color, but dark green if
covered.
HOW TO BAKE A SHAD-A baked
shad in the spring Of the year is some
thing very delicious, but a nice stuff
fling and proper baking is necessary to
make it SO.
Reduce to crumbs the inside OF a
loaf of bread, heat in a saucepan a lump
of fresh butter the size of ar egg, chop
one-quarter of a large onion and add
to the butter when it begins to bub-
BILE; when slightly brown add the bread
and stir well till thoroughly hot; then
season highly with pepper and salt and
a t~easpoonful of finely chopped pars-
ley. Remove from the fire, and i'm
mediately add one well-beaten egg,
stuff the shad with this dressing and
sew up; sprinkle with salt, pepper and
flour; put a few pieces of breakfast
bacon in the pan and lay the shad upon
them. Pour a little hot water into the
pan and bake in a hot oven with
a few slices Of bacon on top of the
fish. Basic very often. When done, re-
move the bacon, sprinkle with a little
melted butter in which chopped pars-
ley is mixed, and serve in a dish in
which the fried shad roe is arranged
about the fish in a nest of parsley.

dish is a watercress salad, the water
cress being simply dressed with oil
or vinegar, salt, pepper, and, if liked,
a little grated onion is added.
Onions are an ideal spring food and
at this time OF year should be served
~lavishly. They may be creamed,
boiled, plainly, served in the numerous
salads or the dainty little young ones
may be eaten raw They tone up the
entire system
A delicious flavor may be given to
coffee by rubbing the lump of sugar
which sweetens 1T over orange or
lemon rind. People who like the slice
Of lemon in their tea will appreciate
a slice OF lime instead, which will give
a deliciously piquant flavor.
Look well to the condition of the re-
frigerator before it begins it's summer
work. Use plenty of boiling water,
sa1-soda and a wooden skewer to pick
out any article of dirt. Let it have a
few hours of fresh air before closing
it up. MARTHA.

He had hoped to trap her on the fur
