when Mrs. Howe came in.
You see that I have taken you at
your word. and have come to ask your
opinion about certain things" said Mrs
Howe to her hostess, who came forward
with a smile Of welcome and greeted
her visitor by a friendly pressure Of the

Although Mrs Howe was quite
familiar with the rule that two women
merely bow when introduced, she knew
the exception TO that rule which IS that
when a person introduces two people,
both intimate friends of hers, they are
expected to shake hands She offered
her hand in cordial friendliness to the
girl, and looking frankly in her eyes,
said, Il have heard Mrs. Wright and

THE SOFT ANSWER THAT TURNETH
AWAY WRATH

Parents frequently complain to me Of
the rudeness and irritability Of their
children. This complaint reflects more
on the parent than on the child. If
parents and teachers had self-control
enough always to speak courteously and
softly to children in their charge, most
of tiie irritability and rudeness found in
the modern child would be done away
with When first began my work as
a kindergarten in large slum kinder
garten, among rough class of children,
their manners were beyond description.
A kick in the eye from dear little
playmate, so happy and glad" was re-
garded as quite an ordinary attention.

dish towels, hose, etc, are folded
smoothly as taken from line, and put
away unironed. The children put polish
on the windows, and on rainy days
polish the silver. Mother completes the
work. The greatest strength-saver in
the kitchen IS a rocker, where mother
prepares the fruit and vegetables, and a
hammock supplements this on specially
strenuous days.
Machine stitching, cutting and fitting
are done at home, and the buttons and
buttOnholes are done while visiting
with friends who come in the after
moons, or while making neighborly calls.
A trusty neighbor girl stays with the
children for q stipulated sum per hour,
while the mother goes out in the after
noon o. evening.
Friends are entertained with the idea
that It IS our society rather than the re
freshments which brings them, and the
service is simple, though dainty. Thus
entertaining is never a burden.
In this way everyone helps, the work
Is sufficiently systcmatized to leave no
extra hard days, and everyone is healthy,
hearty and happy.

sides that. the favor is also more per-
fectly preserved.
It would escape into the air with the
steam if it were not held by being COW
cred. AS you 60 on you will find that
there is a good and perfectly logical
reason for every direction which is given
you, and that the more implicitly you
obey the better success YOU will have,
and it won't be luck, either. It will
be because you took care and obeyed
rules

Training Children

The place to begin training children
and especially so-called inco-rigibles-
is with the parents. Lei the parent
train him or herself. and the little imi-
tatOrs and rc5ecto-s Will be al right so
soon that everybody Will suppose they
were born SO.
The W0uId-be Civilizer Of a Young
Savage should try the affirmative treat
ue1t On her boy. Never mention his
faults to him if YOU can help it. When
YOU must do so, be brief and speak as
YOU would TO an equal IN age and good
intentions. For instance, in the case OF
q plltered storeroom where the thefts
were denied, can YOU control your own
fault Of temper sufficiently to say, "SOn,
did you take thus and 50 from the store
room?
And whatever the reply, accept It
courteOusly (as you would be obliged
to from your husband or brother), and
add, 4 just asked because I need to
know. I wondered If you got all you
wanted or needed at the table. l wish
you to co so. Whatever there is in the
house IS for you as for the rest OF US !;
but I'd rather not have it taken from the
storeroom between meals"
You may say that such mild measures

facing to the south utilize that for your
parsley box; you've no idea how cheer
full it will make the room, and what is
better for the room in which so much
time is necessarily spent than cheerful
ness?
With the expenditure of a few cents
in money and 4 few minutes of caretak-
ing every day, this is wholly possible.
Boiling Leg Of Mutton
Now we viii boil leg of mutton. as
our next step in learning how to cook
meats.
You will wipe the meat, remove all
the fat, and when the meat is thus pre-
pared put it into boiling, sailed water.
Take care not to have the water too salt,
just palata0ly SO. | will give You the
reason for this care later, but be sure on
this point. OF course you have weighed
the leg, so as to know how long time
to give it for cooking.
Allow twenty minutes for the heat to
penetrate the meat, then skim off what
ever may have arisen to the surface. set
the kettle where the water will simmer
gently, and cook in this way until the
meat is done, allowing twelve minutes
to each pound, counting the time from
the hour at which You set the kettle back
for the simmerIng process, and have FIN

| in this way keeping the juices flowing
! from side to side, but not escaping, is the
way to ensure a successful broiling.
/ Done carefully in this way, you needn't
| fear TO offer a steak or chop to 4 most
fastidiOus guest, provided that you have
made a wise selection OF meat, and that
you serve i at once, on hot plates, from
hot platter
Do yOu want to try cooking beef
steak Just as an experiment to see if
you can carry out the directions?
BroiIing Beefsteak
| Well, then, in the first place wipe the
slice with a clean, damp cloth.
Now grease tn bars Of the gridiron
very lightly witt some OF the fat, bits
of which you have trimmed from the
edge of the slice Have the fire clear,
and brOII the cal at once, not letting
the gridirOn out O. your hands, and
turning it eve. time YOU count ten. If
you like you steak rare cook it about
four minutes-that !, il it is from
three-Quarters o. al inch to an inch in
thickness; out give a longer time
say three minute 4Ongcr-It you wish
it we'll done Serve at once on a hot
platter, seasoning with salt, butter and a
little pepper If you want the dish to
look very attractive garnish the platter
with sprigs Of parsley or Water-cress.
You will understand if you are to
serve steak for dinner that the vege-
tables must all be ready for the table
before you begin the broiIing, and the
plates heating, so that your family may
have their meat at its very best. If for
breakfast, have the potatoes and muf-
fms ready. Instant service is one of the
secrets of successful broiling.
Pan BroiIing
There is another way of broiling that
is called pan broiIing,' which is en-
ployed where there are no Goals, as in
cooking with a gas, gasoline or an oil
stove, or by electricity. It is done on a
griddle or in a frying-pan, which is
heated kissing hot, the meat put on it,
without any fat, cooked one minute, then
turned to the other side, then cooked

Braising Meat

DEaISIug ASAL
AS to the length Of time that meat
should boil, that depends wholly upon
the weight. It will take about twenty
minutes for the heat to penetrate
through a piece OF meat so that it will
be ready to begin to cook, and so that
time doesn't count in the cooking; but
reckoning from the end of the twenty
minutes, twelve or fifteen minutes should
be allowed for each pound. If the meat
is cut thick the longer time will be
needed; but if the piece is thin and fiat
the shorter time will be found to be
sufficient.
Braising, which is another way Of
treating the tougher fbered meat, is
cooking in the oven in q covered pan,
smOthering the meat in its own juices
and having a good deal Of herb season.
ing il the dish with the meat Meat
thus prepared is most delicious.
Roasting meat IS, properly, cooking it
before the open FIRE, by subjccting it to
d high degree Of heat That is the way
grcat-grandmOthcr cooked her roasts,
and under the roasting meat was a big
pan which caught the juices which made
the gravy, and in that way got the name
of ''dripDing-pan," a name which the
rOasting-pan has borne ever since. In
these DAYS of ranges and stoves of vari-
Gus kinds. in which all sorts of fuel are
used, from coal to electricity, we bake it
in a heated oven and call it roasted"
just by courtesy.

PROFESSIONAL
Dentistry

Is an honorable profession, and the average
Dentist of to-day is studying and laboring
to maintain the high standard of efficiency
and popular respect i'll which his profession
is held.
But sometimes men creep into the profess
ion who either have not the ability to do
high. class work. or for some other cause do
not remain in any immunity long enough
to do gooi work and let that advertise their
merit. These are the men who drag dow II
the standard of an honorable profession into
the mire of mere CnmmerCialiSm-wh have
for their motto-'Get EN- once. but get EN-
hard" and with cheap bills an cards an
nounce what wonderfully painless work
they lo-"Plates, Best, s., etc, etc.
Now, there is no secret about dong cheap
work Any Dentist can do it, ami the reason
why he does not is-beCauSe his practice is
large or because he knows what cheap Dem
tistry means to him. or because his home
and interests are here with you and yours,
and he will have to face you for years if you
and he live, and cheap Dentistry does not
last for years.
But II your circumstances are SUCH tnat
YOU cannot afford the higher class work and
you are thereby tempted to 90 to some cheap
office. it would be wiser to consult an estab-
lished ethical Dentist, known both rs a cit
izen and practitioner; who undertands his
business and does not scatter bills and cards
to lure patronage. Tell HIM the situation in
your case; how much you can afford, and
the result will be far more satisfactory than
taking chances with an office whose greatest
advertised merit is its cheapness because,
should you ever have occasion to 90 back
you, while the handful advertiser in all
probability for some reason or other will
have decided to move again"
