SUNDAY MAGAZINE FOR OCTOBER Q. 1907

The quality of the child is the best test of father

maturity of body and soul the most and best chill
dren. 1t is weakness to evade and folly to dispute
this conclusion. In it is embodied the highest,
richest, wisest, philosophy of life To secure this
end is the ultimate test by which to measure the
worth of religion, the state, the family, education,
science and all social and political institutions; for
all good or bad according they help
divert from this supreme end of man.
In fine child is not woman of reduced
dimensions of body and SOUL but different being,
a grub differs from butterfly egg from
bird. If realized this and all that it implies it
would involve great revolution in notions of
children and in the way we treat them in both home
and school. Their prime need is to develop to the
pass; not to omit them but to live them out We
must realize that they at first far less human

To-day children need retarding in their develop

One on the Press Agent
A n actor of good birth and education
\ went on the road few years ago
with a recently engaged press agent ahead
of his company. The player had earned
his right to star, after long tutelage under
the late Augustin Daily. He considered it
undignifed, unnecessary, and unprofesslon-
al to inform the public what he ate for
breakfast, or what color pajamas he was
accustomed to wear. Entertaining great
respect and affection for his wife and
children, he did not care to vent their
personalities through the public press. Ap
preciating, however, the necessity and COM
mercial value of advertising in his pro-
fession he was anxious to obtain as
much of it as possible; but there existed
with his manager perfect understand
ing that the publicity should be legitl-
mate He was glad to see his photograph
frequently printed where it would do the
most good, and always was more than will
ling to meet interviewers and discourse as
interestingly as he could upon topics deal
ing with his art; but absolutely and unre
servedly he objected to the circusing Of
his personality and his private life.
He was not acquainted with his new
press agent; but presumed that the pub
lcity promoter knew his wishes. AS a
matter of fact, the agent, who happened
to be of the sensational ilk, was familiar
with his stars policy, but did not believe
in it and considered it merely high toned
pose. He had been accustomed to exploit

NEW ONION RECIPES
GOOD DISHES MADE FROM AFRO.
MATiC VEGETABLE.
1t Would Seem That All Possibilities
OF Cooking This Valuable Food
Had Been Exhausted, But
Try These Three.

What cooks would do IL suddenly
deprived OF the onion makes one shud-
der to think. There is no savory dish
without hint Of its toothsome pres
ence. Its varied uses are legion; il
Ia not only valuable in cookery but is
useful incidentally. 1t is said that in
cases of malaria the free use of onions
is wonderfully helpful, while onion
tea is one of the latest aids in the
treatment of gall stones. Onions are
also good for those who are poor
sleepers, being soothing to the nerves.
Onions may be boiled, fried, stewed
or baked, or eaten raw as a salad in
fact, so general is their use that it
seems hardly possible to suggest a
new recipe, but here are two or three
that will be valuable:
Onion Soup.-Cup up four large
onions and brown them in six ounces
OF butter for two minutes; add salt,
cayenne and a quart of stock; cook
Slowly one hour, then add a large cup
of hot milk with two beaten eggs and
stir in quickly. Lay in the bottom
OF the tureen toasted bread squares
sifted with Parmesan cheese and turn
the soup over them.
Baked Spanish Onicns.-Take four
Spanish onions and with a sharp knife
cut out some of their centers; do not
pare them, but boil in sailed water
one hour; take them out. dry them
and stuff them with grated cheese.
butter, pepper and salt. Bake with
moderate oven. When done they may
be eaten from the skin or the outer
skin removed and a rich brown gravy
poured over them.
Onion Fritters.-Make a batter as
Tor clam fritters and add three large
onions grated, pepper, salt, and dash
or celery salt. Fry in hot lard and
serve with English chops.
