FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

There seems 10 be two classes OF
mothers who need reforning-those who
see too little OF their children and those
who devote too much time TO them-and
Of the two classes the former are the
least harmful, according 10 a statement
recently made by man Of sufficient I'M
portance 10 create more than mild de-
gree Of surprise by his frankness. II is
needless TO say that he is not an Ameri-
can, for however badly behaved our chill
dren may be we think there are none bet
ter cn the face OF the earth.
/
! The child who Is turned over TO we'll
paid attendants is usually well looked
after as far rs health and morals are
concerned. It is safe 70 say that reason
able attention is given TO department. but
the consideration toward others and the
reverence and respect 10 which elders are
entitled are entirely lacking. The young
sters become accustomed 70 strangers at
an early age and regard parents as con-
venient attachments 10 comfortable liv-
ing There is no deep affection on either
side no self-saeriiee and no fear for the
future.
Children born into such surroundings
become Independent at an early age.
They also get arrogant ways and grow
up in selhshness and hardness Of heart
There are innumerable examples Of this
kind Of training. youths who defy their
parents by wild escapades and rash mar
riages and girls who wantonly sacrifice
their happiness by a mistaken display OF
Independence. One Of the number Is now
whining over his misfortune in being dis
inherited for marrying a supper acquaint-
anee and being deserted BY the wife for
whom he could not supply the necessities
OF life, 10 say nothing Of the luxuries.
It is safe 10 say thar the young woman
would never have considered him Ssri-
ously had he not belonged 20 a family OF
wealth for he had never done anything
useful in his whole life.
The child which is coddled beyond rea-
son and made into a companion for its
mother IS being robbed Of its childhood.
1t is missing the sweetest part Of life and
coming into knowledge which should be
reserved for maturer years. Parents
have mistaken ideas regarding the inno-
cence and ignorance Of children. Nobody
knows where they get their understand
Ing, but that they have It there is no
doubt, and very many subjects that are
freely discussed in the presence OF chill
dren should be carefully avoided. II is
distressing 70 see boys and girls grow
ing up with rude. forward ways. a nui-
sanee 20 everybody but their parents.
No more wholesome object than a real
child exists. and under its magic touch
the hardest heart gives way and sour
features relax into genueness. A group
Of children causes CONSERVATION even in
such places as railway cars, because the
passengers are almost sure Of the annov-
ing things they Will do. Il IS hard 10
make parents understand that their
acored offspring can be distasteful com
pany to anybody, because they fan 10 |

air OF arrogance and selfshness which (
the public sees. There are lovely children 4
in the world. many OF them, but they be /

Making Iced Tea.

From Fashion.
In spite Of all the doctor may say on
the subject. most OF US will 90 cheer
fully on our way, drinking iced tea, as
long as It is hot
II We must have it. however, let US
make sure that it IS good.
An excellent but extravagant. way TO
prepare IL is 70 pour freshly brewed hot
tea over lump Of fee. pouring them into
glasses half filed with shaved ice.
More practical for most people is the
brewing Of the tea hours before needed.
and putting It away in the fee chest. The
tea IS made strong, and weakened with
ice water before being used.
Iced tea must be cold, and It cannot be
cooled BY q few Jumps in the pitcher.
Ice must be placed in the glasses.
Lemon is really better added before the
meal than at f.
Mix the sugar and lemon when the ice
water is added
Still another way IS that adopted by
Russians. Of grating the rind Of a lemon
and pouring hot tea over Il.
II lemon must be passed. because all
members Of the family co not Ike II. II
is better to cut It IN lengthwise sections
than thin slices
In addition, a small glass pitcher flled
with extra lemon juice may be passed.

CHOICE OF FRUIT.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Ripe fruit has a fresh. slightly fra
grant odor.
When It grows stale It loses this pleas
ant aroma.
This IS true not only Of berries. but of
peaches, pears, cantaIoupes. oranges and
lemons.
Another point 20 notice IS weight
II oranges, grape fruit, OF melons OF any
kind are unduly light, there is sometblna
wrong with them. They are either IN
ripe or spoiled.
Cantaloupes should be rough on fbA
outside, and heavy, and neither too green
nor too yellow. Usually, the smooth
streaks which divide the outside into
sections should be yellow. and the rest
green
The best strawberries for doing un are
the Ladyhngers. They are a little more
expensive than some Of the other varia-
ties. but they more than make ur for the
difference in the deliciousness OF their
flavor
Never use Oranges berries for preserv-
Ing. They are big, round coarse-looking
berries with heavy green caps. Sharp-
less, although good TO eat. are not par
tcularly good for cooking. on account of
the little green tips.

WAVED PAPER.

From the Boston Herald.
Every careful housewife should have
plenty OF waxed paper or parafine pa
per about the house.
It is OF the greatest value in preserving
eatables from the air and keeping them
properly moist
In the sandwich basket it is indispen-
sable.
Cake wrapped IN it viii keep moist and
fresh for much longer time than If
put directly into the box
When the paper has become sticky, run
cold water on II, and It may be used
again.
Cheese wrapped up in It and put in the
refrigerator will keep a week. looking as
If freshly cut
Fruit merchants wrap fne fruit in It.
This is practicable also for the picnic
basket
II a plato Of sandwiches is prepared
beforehand for a luncheon or any other
purpose, where they must be daintily per-
feet II Is a good plan 70 pile them up
on a plate and then wrap plate and all
IN the parafine paper

NEEDLEwORK NOTES.
From The Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
A convenient idea. in respect 10 the

lar this summer. is 10 have the band OF
the same color as the gown It prevents
the little line Of white under the col

lace.
Use tube muslin for pillow cases. It is
only necessary to sew one end and hem
the other. and the deed is done.

recipe for chop suey in the Chicago Daily

WOMEN AEROxAUTs.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
Women aeronauts are not only OF to-
day, The first woman Of note was Nine.
Nadar. who lost her life with her hus-
band by being cast from a balloon at
Nieubourg. Hanover. Next we find Nine.
Sage crossing the Channel IN I7S5. The
party set out with the intention Of sur
prising a friend in the country. and de-
scended very near their objective. Mile.
Garnerin. sister Of the inventor Of the
parachute, in five years made forty as
cents. This was from 1S15 TO 1920. Nine.
blanchard was the star under the en-
pire. She had charge Of the aeronautics
at the coronation fetes, in consequence
Of Garnerin having incurred the dis
pleasure Of the Emperor, the aeronaut
having been the creature Of misfortune.
He ascended at Milan with q balloon car
Tying an imperial crown The air cur
rents carried him cut Of his course. and
the neXt day in making his descent. he
broke the crown on the tomb OF Nero.
Ihis untoward event cost him the En-
peror's displeasure, for the coincidence IN
some quarters was considered significant.
Nine. Blanchard during her career
achieved some note At the marriage Of
the Emperor with the Archduchess Of
Austria she cast flowers on the process
sion from her balloon and she did the
same on the carriage Of Louis XVIII on
his entry into Paris. She perished in her
seventy-seventh ascent in 1878. through an
explosion when aloft. Notwithstanding
that husband and wife perished In their
balloons. this did not defer other women
seeking similar fame. IN 1927 Nine. John
son crossed the Mississippi in a balloon.
Then for a time the. novelty waned. and
has just been revived, its second advent
being marked IN France by the founda-
zion Of woman's club. under the dIrec-
tiOn OF Nine SurcOuf.

Washable white silks are fashioned
into shirt OF unusual beauty this sea-
son. One fascinating model OF heavy
China silk finely tucked was inset with
bands of heavy Cluny lace. The sleeves
were tucked long and trimmed with
tucks and inset band Of lace.
Among the soft taffeta silks are some
attractive ones with a white ground
showing narrow black stripes The
front was buttoned across and fasten-
ed with two fanciful buttons OF crochet
silk. The collar was Of soft white mus
lin inset with bands Of lace. The sleeves
were short and the cuffs deep and fas-
tened with two crochet buttons.
Bands Of dyed Cluny lace or en-
broidered flet net made over white and
trimmed in self color satin make COM
paratively inexpensive and smart blouses,
repeating the eolors Of the froek with
which they are to be worn. And blouses
formed entirely OF heavy Cluny, dyed
and made over white in quite severe
effects. save for big frogs or fancy but
tons.
For serviceable wear much can be said
for the blouse OF japanese and Chinese
crepe. It has the quality of laundering
well and many modes are made I'D in
this material for dressler wear. The
hand embroidered sorts are much liked.
While the waists for street and busI-
ness wear are 50 strictly plain. those
intended for the demi-dress occasions
that will permit Of a blouse are most
beautifully ornamented. For wear on
the vacation. when one does not expect
10 be too dressed up or for quiet little
affairs just among ones own particular
friends, some very pretty models are
shown. Batiste lawn, linen and cotton
wash crepe are all suitable fabrics for
such waists. Embroidery as a trimming
has lost none OF its popularity. while
lace and braidng is stu used as much
as formerly.

SILK SHIRT WAIST POPULAR
Coolest for Hot Weather Wear.

Empire styles may wane and directoire
fashions fade. the Marie Antoinette style
may succeed the Moyen Age and the
whole gamut Of fashion NAV undergo Nd
heavels, but to the business woman this
matters not a whit. For here there Is
but one practical garment, and that is the
time-honored shirt waist which was
doomed 10 extinction by the prophets OF
one-piece gown, that garment OF the un-
broken line, and unnoticeable waist line
But, contrary TO expectation, the shirt
waist held its own, and is as popular as
ever for summer wear. Linen, pongee
madras. and silk are favorite materials
for the summer waist SILK is a particu-
larly cool fabric, and comes in all colors.
Many women wear dark silk blOuses
for business purposes that exactly match
the costume. thus coming within range
OF the one-pieee suit. and for the same
reason that they always look fresh with
nice neckwear and, moreover, are not so
trying to the woman of years. BY the
way. what is called the lingerie blouse
is tabooed from business hours.
The fact is that the blouse has as
wide range Of appropriateness in the
matter of time and occasion as any
feature OF dress
Next to linen. which is found in all
eolors. are the pongee waists, which are
also made on tailored lines. and may,
like the linens. be procured in the popu-
lar tones OF the day. The pongee waists
are economical, for they are easily
washed out at home, and II you have a
gas arrangement you can make them look
like new by ironing Con the wrong side)
while very damp until they are dry, when
they will have the same crispness as the
new material. Without one is we'll situ-
ated 10 do the work, the linen waist
must nearly always go to the laundry.
