Rag-Time Salad.-The salad looked as though it might
make a floral centrepiece for the table instead OF being
meant to be eaten, for the glass dish was traced about airily
with cress, and in the green nest rested a picture in green
and red. The bowl was first fringed with cress. inside it was
carefully laid a ring of thinly sliced radishes, next another
ring of cress, then green beans cut into small pieces, and
in the centre a mound of small beets cut in tiny circles.
The whole was marinated with a delicious French dressing.
This is a new salad. 1t not only looks attractive, but Is
good eating.

r Girls Needed.

The chief end of doctors is to
teach people to keep we'll with the
minimum of doctoring. The chief
end of authority is to qualify people
for self-government. The chief end
of parents and schools is to train
children in wisdom and knowledge,
that they may be able to take care of
themselves. That has long been un-
dsrstood in its relation to boys. The
idea of education for boys is to train
then up through obedience to lib
erty. We want to make them free,
and wise enough to thrive on free
dom. AS fast as they can bear it we
put upon them increased responsible
ity for their own conduct, and their
one use of time and of money.
What we want of them finally Is
not merely to respond with docility
to the care that is taken for them,
but gradually to become qualified to
take care of somebody else. And
steadily and rapidly our civilization
has been coming to have a like atu-
tude toward girls. They are not boys
in skirts, but very different creatures;
their needs are different, their ideal
work in life is different, the processes
Of education which seem most profit
able for them are different, but in
them, too, we grow more and more
solicitous to develop the capacity to
take care of themselves, and eventu-
ally of others; to develop, indeed, all
possible capacities that are not incom-
patible with n another, and with
the highest and best and most impor-
tant destiny that life holds for girls.

He Began Swimming Toward tn
Sandbar.

the throng of bathers which went down
every day into the bay to play in the
waves. And each being champion,
naturally it was not long before they
became acquainted.
Many were the friendly contests they
held In the water until old salts and
summer girls alike talked of their
prowess. Now Somers Point is sep
arated from Ocean City by the Great
Egg Harbor bay, four miles wide. and
furrowed at one stretch by the sweep
of the current as 1t rounds Beasley's
Point, bound inland. The folk along
the seashore looked at Ocean City
across the bay and then at the two
swimmers sporting in the water.
Could they do It?
The challenge was passed, and, ac-
companied by launch to help in case
of trouble. the two started on their
long swim. At first the waves parted
easily before them and their 1.-the
limbs struck out in unison. Then
they met the strong current sweeping
or its way from Beasley's Point. Miss
Swanson found the waves rougher.
Swimming became an effort, then an
impossibility. Hager, by her side. no.
ticed her exhaustion and called to the
launch.
But-and perhaps it was only a
whim of the little blind of love-the
engine of the launch would not work.
Hager realized the danger for Miss
Swanson, and, telling her to rest her
hands on his shoulders. began swim
ing for place where the quietness of
the water told him there was sand
bar. All but exhausted he reached it
with his burden. The water was only
shoulder high and the two rested
there until the launch was able to
reach them.
And then they were married-just
two days after their adventure.
