JUVENILE ~REFORMATORY.
Miss Emily Butt, of jackson,
chairman of the Mississippi Juve-
nile reformatory.
Many legislative candidates have
addressed letters to Miss Butt, some
of them being voluntary communi-
cations, stating that they will sup
port the juvenile reformatory bill.
Similar letters are being received
from the State press, and the aggres-
slve campaign planned by the as.
ISOLATION is now well under way.
The following very tense and
logical reasons setting forth the need
OF a reformatory have been prepared
by Miss Butt:
/: What we should look for
most carefully in a boy is not faults
OF boyhood, but his larger qualities
that may be developed.
3. The quality most needed for
boyhood, is the courage to do right
because 1t Is right, and not because
they will be punished if they don't
do it.
). The love 81 right is in all
boys, if we will only go at it in the
right way.
4. The gospel OF work should be
taught every boyi the gospel of the
worker that works not for the
money there is in it, but for the Joy
of the work itself.
>. Proper care of juvenile Of
tenders against the law, is economi-
CAL, 1t saves dollars and cents, but
the most important Saving is in
manhood, and citizenship; no effort
is made to estimate this. for it is
beyond calculation.
6. Our method Of handling bad
boys must be efficient. If done the
wrong way, kindnes may be mis-
taken for weakness, eympathy for
justification, and what is permitted
to be accounted loniency, may be-
come almost as dangerous as
brutality.
Z. It is a fundamental law that
a crime may not be committed by
one who is unable to appreciate the
nature and quality of the act,
s. Every community is mersur-
ed by its citizenship, God give q.
men, not convicts."
9. It is not tn the death of her
criminals that the state is the loser:
it is in the loss of the force Of
character, which might have been
examplifed in a reformed life.
10. The last legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for the eradica-
ton Of the cattle tick, but not one
cent to save the wayward hoya.
II. Mississippi has probably
the best prison system in the
United States, but it is not nor was
it ever intended to be q boys re-
~formatory.
II. Morals are contagious. We
have learned to isolate diseased peo-
pie who may contaminate others,
but we still allow children to be-
come morally contaminated by con-
tact with degraded criminals.
Ii. The problem of the children
is the problem Of the State. As we
neglect or pass them by, the blame
for government to como must res,
upon US.
IA. Boys are what men are made
of-what kind of men can be made
in jails?
ID. Would You want your boy
to be educated in the penitentiar:
16. Who r the criminals:
Convict boys, or the State that fail,
to provide them with rsfoFmatoriesi
II. It is easier to make them
unmakea convict.
Is. What ideals are held up {
the boys in our prisons.
10. A person Is tho most eifectua
means known for destroying ideals

Little Bedtime Tales By EDITH n4xzsz
THE AUTOMOBILE TRIP.

When Roland and Leita went out
into the barn to feed the rabbits tney
found their father busy at work oiling
the auto.
Hello he said, pausing in his work,
where are you little people going?"
I'VE are going to feed the rabbits. -
answered Roland. holding aloft a large
carrot, the cook had given him but a
moment before.
And where are you going?" asked
Leita, noticing that the auto looked
more spick and span than usual
You caught me, didn't you?" said
Mr.. Corbett, laughing.
He went over to the barn sink and
commenced washing his hands.
Are you going somewhere in the
carr" questioned Roland, eagerly. for
on some OF the trips Mr.. Corbett took
the children.
Yes; I must confess I am," answered
MIR. Corbett. Il meant to keep 1t a
secret little longer, but now that you
have caught me I shall have to tell
you"
How would you like to go of on
a long three days trip?'
The little folks screamed with delight,
and how Mr.. Corbett laughed as he
watched them dance about the barn
floor
For some time the good father had

For a Chinese luncheon table. both ef-
fective and easy to arrange, use. across

paper, according to your purse.
Have the bands form an x crossing in
the center Of the table and on them
write marks in imitation Of the Chinese
characters in black.
For the centerpiece use chrysanthe-
NUNS, real or artificial, especially the
small garden variety, II these can be OBJ
tanned. Or employ cherry blossoms. nat
ural or Of paper, or Chinese lily bulbs in
a nat blue and white dish with bits of
rock and shells.
For favors get or make the funny little
laundry lists that represent John China
man in pigtail and native costume and
wearing his Heather Chinee smile.
What to Serve for Refreshments.
In wee cups of Chinese pattern. for in.

or Phoenix design.
Secondly come Eastern sweetmeats,
which can be obtained through an ORR
entail shop. and Hchee nuts.
Bor low guy. the celebrated bird's-nest
soup, Is cut of the question without a
Chinese cook. Some other good soup
should be substituted and eaten from wee

Next have a course Of fried chicken

In the meantime the children had
scampered into the house to get ready.
and a short while later the great car
whizzed away from the house. They
were off.
Straight down town they went. and
then slowly out through the suburbs.
In half an hours time they were spin
ming along the country roads at a mer-
~ clip.
Oh. how glorious the air was and
how wonderful 1t was to see the funny
looking farm houses and the great
stretches Of green meadows. One field
appeared in the distance like a lake Of
gold, dotted with black, and on COM
ing closer the children saw that it was
a field of ox-eyed daisies.
Mr.. Corbett brought the car to q stop,
and the children got out and gathered
hundreds OF the pretty flowers.
They stopped that night in one of the
great cities, about 100 miles from their
home.
The second day took them up steep
mountain roads. and the wonderful
sights they saw would indeed be hard
to describe.
Can you not imagine what a lot they
had to tell their little friends on their
arrival home on the following night?
Never will Roland and Leita forget
that wonderful trip.

PUZZLE Is. USED
IN NOVEL DINNER
"Culinary Courtship" Affords
Fun to Twenty Guests.
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

But one more day remains to you In
which to solve the Culinary Courtship," &"
for the contest ends at noon tomorrow.
Are you. or are you not, going to be
a prize winner this week
There is no reason for saying that you
are not because you could not decide
what the weather was on the wedding
day, or the answer to some other number
OF the puzzle, for no one has found the
truth in many numbers, particularly in
| the course of Meats and their sauces 4"
Number two Of this group ('What did
his mother give him?') remains a mys-
| terry; II seems impossible for the puzzle
circle to solve.
So don't worry over your list Of an
swers. but hurry it in before it is too
late.
Even the lists sent me yesterday by
the menu presented them from which to
order was the Culinary Courtship'O
were most incomplete; which only goes
, to prove that even many heads put to-
gether could not reach an agreement.
The hostess who gave this interesting
dinner to twenty guests writes me that
she had hard time deciding what should
| be prepared for serving them in answer
to each question asked in the puzzle.
She wanted to have the edibles correspond
to the correct solution If possible, but
when she came to the Weather on the
wedding day. as a soup; What his
mother gave him. as meat, and
What they had in the house her father
gave her." she admitted that she was
totally At sea, and, as a matter of fact,
she served her guests something passing
strange in each instance.
The menus were found at each plate
when the party entered the dining-room,
Just as you found it in The Herald last
Sunday, and again on Tuesday.
In ordering the guests wrote each num-
ber and his or her answer to it and
then had difficulty in refraining from
turning their heads to see what was be-
ing brought to them.
In nine cases out of ten the order Tor
the very first number of the mystic
menu was a totally different soup from
the one served them in response to the
question, and so on down the list
1t was an exciting little dinner, filled
with speculation and laughter, occupy
ing almost an entire evening
And when the dinner was at an end
each s;uest recovered his or her list OF
answers, wrote his or her name and
address upon them, and sent sent them
to me. The hostess sent me also nst
of what she served for each course IN
answer to the Culinary Courtshlp
questions.
1t was certainly an original entertain
ment and one we'll worth copying, es-
pecially after you have the correct list
of answers to the puzzle on Sunday

TIMES TO MARRY
The Old-time Superstitions
of Many Lands.

Many superstitions have always gath.
cred about that most auspicious occa-
sion. the wedding day. and in the earliest
times no marriage ceremony was per-
formed without consulting the Druidess
or prophecies, whose oracular words
were accepted with reverence and awe.
Many omens and supersttions were
handed down throughout the ages and
still remain to US.
Lame Hawk Good Omen.
AS far back as Pliny there was the be-
lief that a lame hawk was accounted q
lucky omen at weddings.
In England slices Of the bridecake were
three times, sometimes nine times, put
through the wedding ring, which were
afterward laid under the pillows Of the
young people when going to bed for the
purpose Of making them dream of their
lovers. or Of exciting dreams of love and
marriage.
There was an old German custom
where the bride, on being conducted to
her chamber. would sremove her shoe and
throw 1t among the bystanders, and
whoever caught 1t would soon be happily
married.
Must Enter House Under Sword.
There was also an old superstition that
for a bride to have good fortune she must
enter the house under two drawn swords
in the shape Of st. Andrews Cross.
Then there was the unpleasant super
stition that whoever should walk under
a ladder would not be married that year.
There was strong feeling. too. concern
ing the lucky and unlucky times of the
year to marry. None ever welded on
r.,
was conceded to bring bad luck il
chosen for a wedding mo couple
chooses to marry except with a grow
ing moon, and some even wish for
flowing tide
Youngest Should Marry First.
There was a curious superstition that
If the youngest daughter of a family
should marry before her older sisters
they must all dance at her wedding with
out shoes. This will in the end procure
them husbands.
Again, that the bride should not step
over the threshold of her husbands
house the first time. but should be lifted
over by her nearest relatives. She was
also to knit her fillets to the doorpost
and anoint the sides to foil the mischief
Of witches.
Bad weather was considered to be
most unlucky for the wedding day. and
It was unfortunate If the bride did not
weep on her nuptial day.
Pea Pod Omen.
A bride often tried by means Of
pea pod to discover whether she still
held the affection of the bridegroom. She
selected one growing on the stem, and
when snatching it away quickly IL the
peas remaining in the husk were pre-
served, 1t was a good omen.
It was also considered bad omen
for a dog to pass between a couple to
be married; so great care was taken
to prevent this catastrophe; and great
attention was paid to leaving the BRIDE
groom's left shoe without buckle or
latchet, which was a preventive against
the influence of witches.
Indeed. the superstitions Of all nations
concerning marriages are tnnumeraole.
But the best omen Of all is that they
are rapidly dying out, at least in prac-
tice, and soon we will only know them
as belonging vaguely to forgotten past.

Figured materials are used to SO great
an extent this season that the majority
of models are rather plain. In the illus
tration we have one of the most popular
styles, and surely nothing could be more
simple. There is the customary small
yoke. with its standing collar attached.
and below this the bodice is quite plain.
there being no seam at the shoulders, and
the sleeve ends just below the elbow.
The outline of the yoke is trimmed with
a band of fancy design. and the lower
edge of the sleeve has a fancy cuff. in
harmony with 1t.
Foulard, messaline, satin. pongee, and
the like are the materials most used for
these waists, and also all sheer fabrics.
The pattern. 54s3, is cut in sizes 80 to
a inches. bust measure. Medium size re-
quires two yards Of 36-inch material
The above pattern can be obtained by
sending 10 cents to the office Of this paper.

SLEEVES MUCH THE SAME
AS IN THE PAST SEASON

Sleeves are much the same as they
were last autumn. although one finds
many fioppily-draped arrangements in
chiffon with the ever-present kimono
or peasant sleeve. The drapery is of
the simplest kind. however, and is often
accomplished merely by catching up a
corner or edge at the sleeve bottom and
turning it up in cuff fashion, attaching
1t to the sleeve in such manner that
a soft irregularity of folds on movement
will be attained.
There are long sleeves Of chiffon, also
fulled little along one side or both
sides and caught in loosely at the wrist
