HOW TO BE POPULAR

IF you are woman and wish to be
popular with women, never tell them
the truth. Tell them something pleas
ant. They will think you are charming
and will desire to meet you again.
The woman who hides her intelligence
under guileless questions will find her
self admired and sought by men, but
despised and avoided by women.
"A woman who is popular with men is
rarely liked by women. She is gener-
ally q clever actress and her sister
women see thru her.
When. a woman finds all else fails in
her efforts to attract and hold man,
she appeals to his strength. Unless he
is strong, that generally fetches him.
As long as men have faults, women
will condone them; and as long as
women condone them, men will have
faults-and longer.
A man does not admire brilliant
and witty woman unless he is more
brilliant and can match her wit and GO
her one better. If she is brilliant and
witty and beautiful, more men will
admire her if she hides her talents be.
hind her beauty. If she is merely beau.
tiful, all men will admire her.

THE BEST OF VEGETABLES

In Isabel Gordon Curtis helpful pa
per entitled 1.-THE Progress Of a House
wife, In the July DeHneator, she gives
some useful hints as to how to make the
best Of vegetables.
Root vegetables, such as beets, tur-
nips, carrots or parsnips, should have
moist, dirty roots and fresh tops. If
the roots are very clean and the tops
cut away, you may be sure the market
man, has tried to freshen them. The
smaller these vegetables are, the more
tender. Parsnips and carrots require
scraping,i except when they are young
and tender. Turnips should be pared,
while tho skin Of beets should not be
broken Or the tops cut more than two
inches above the beet, otherwise they
will lose color and sweetness.
When buying Lima beans, choose
green, juicy pods with small, finely
veined beans. Cook for one hour and
. half IN just enough boiling water to
coyer. Add salt when nearly done
drain oR part Of the water, season with
pepper, salt and butter, and send to
the table piping hot. String beans are
cooked in the same way, after being
strung ana snapped.

HOME REMEDIES

To cure a ringworm, apply strong
solution of borax and water three or
four times q day and cover the place
with the fine powder very often.
If a pan Of sliced raw onions is
placed in a room in which there is diph-
iberia, they will absorb the poison and
prevent the disease from spreading.
The onions should be renewed every
day:
Turpentine Is one Of the best rene
dies for Group. A piece of flannel should
be saturated with sit and placed on the

boiling water over them and let stand
until cold; fill the Jars, pour boiling
water over the berries until they are
covered and then seal. You will find
the berries as solid as when first gath

To make escalloped asparagus, when
possible select the green variety Of as.
paragus, for it is Of better flavor and
is less liable to be bitter. Gut The ten
der part in three-inch lengths, drop
into boiling water and cook for ten
minutes. Fry soft breadcrumbs in but:

A CIIILD's HAIR

A child IS hair can be encouraged to
grow down on the forehead. If little
Oil is massaged into the roots Of the
hair, along the line Of the forehead, it
will encourage the hair to grow. There
are few things to be remembered by
the woman who is trying to make the
best Of child 8 looks. And they are
rules which can be applied to grown
persons as well as children.
IL the hair grows too high on the
forehead, rub the roots with sweet oil
every night.
IS Never use more than six drops Of
oil for the entire forehead.
Never brush the hair back from the
forehead. Draw it gently back with
the fnger-tips and with a soft brush.
Don't pull the hair. Better let. it
snarl.
Try not. to wet the roots Of the hair
any oftener than necessary. Washing
the hair is q foe to heavy hair.
5 Use little hair tonic once q week
to keep it from growing thin back ]. of

Most Of us are selfish to the back
bone.
Sometimes wonder if selfshness is
not at the bottom Of much of the ma
ternal affection which is lauded to the
skies as the most self-sacrifcing devo-
tion known to humanity.
Certainly it is the root of that blind
and mistaken idolatry which leads SO
many mothers to sacrifice both them
selves and the child's future good to
it's present whims. They "cannot bear'
to refuse it anything, because, forsooth,
they love it.
How singular that we should call
this love. It is rather cowardice, be-
cause it shrinks from pain reacting
upon itself. A good part Of such "lov-
ing' indulgence, sad to say, is just
plain ignorance and weakness.
Surely a mother who attained the
heights Of love for her child would be
capable Of putting aside every consid.
GRAFTON save the ultimate well-being of
that child.
Ism It there good deal Of selfshness
at the root Of the passionate worship
the young mother pours out upon hel
babyY Why is she so inordinately
proud Of it that she must hang over ii
day and night, calling on all the world
to observe how much smarter and more
beautiful than other babies it Isl
It would be nice to suppose that the
reason Of this is because she realizes
the provilege and responsibility of hav
ing tiny soul committed to her care
for development and training. But
such sentiment would be good dea
more likely to inspire her to reveren,
silence.
It is to be feared that her extraor
dinMry adulation of the infant is due
to the fact that it is here-her hers
She does not think of it as belonging
to the universe-as a little fellow-be
ing whom she is privileged to start OF
the road Of learning to live for him

If they have to use spectacular means,

She lives Systematically, and, no mat

she does not employ social secretary,
she and her companion, who has been
with her many years, attend to her cor

The SeIfishness of Average Motherhood
BY POLLY PENN.

is strong in her. Hear her: "My
baby! Ny son! Ny daughter" Even
to old age throwing around the mature
son and daughter pitiable claim OF
ownership, which finds it hard to under
stand that each must stand alone and
live his or her own individual life.
Idolizing it in babyhood because
she regards it as her possession; indulg-
ing it in childhood because she (wit-
ness the heroic self-sacrifceD cannot
bear the pain of refusing it; seeking to
restrict its individuality and hamper
its freedom in manhood and woman
hood, because "she is its parent, and
and therefore it owes first duty to her!
How many lives have been sacrificed
on the altar Of this maternal selfish,
ness mistakenly glorifed, as love! The
little child that should have been
treated in rational manner, and re-
garded as charge for the good of the
universe, instead warped and de-
frauded by reason Of his mothers alb
normal sense of possession. Later
cheated, thru her softness Of heart, out
of the training and discipline that
would make him strong and sef-reliant.
Finally, impeded in his progress and
forever hampered in the expression of
/. his individuality by the delusive dogma
that he or she is son or daughter be-
fore everything elsa child owing fill
ial duties above and beyond duties to
| the world and self; member of a
| family, rather than human being with
| the primary inherent right of every
| one Of God IS creatures to be free.
The sooner we have done with this
fetich of Glowing" motherhood,
which is not loving because it is sell
| fish. the better it will be.
We need motherhood wise enough,
impersonal enough, and unselfsh
enough to be concerned first of all with
the lifelong welfare of the child, and
to have this end in view from the ear
liest days Of its infancy up to that in
evitable day when it is capable Of
choosing for itself, with rights to do 50
| fully equal to those of its parents.

DAINTY" WOMEN

The most expressive word that can
be applied to a woman is dainty.
A woman may be stylish, well
dressed, good looking and lots Of other
things, without any considerable ex-
pense, but to live up to the require
ments Of dainty means something more.
It means absolute freshness Of neck
ties, light gloves, ETC., and can be
achieved by the woman or girl of aver
age means If she will have weekly
wash of muslins, laces, gloves, etc., her
self, and not grudge the extra time
spent in getting up these dainty ar
ticles. It means soap, starch and water
in abundance.
Women who would be shocked at the
idea that a stranger should see them
in dishabille, or with hair in crimping
pins, infict untidy hideousness upon
husbands and sons, fathers and brothers
quite as a matter Of course.
