Proprtety of KissinE.

U. r. s.-A man has no right to ask
kiss from a young woman, except as
seal to the plighting of their troth.
The fact of a long-standing friendship
does not constitute sufficient grounds for
demonstration which should be only
given as a token Of love, and promise.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-18

Here is, a true story that turns a search
light upon one of the unconsciously
cruel and unjust situations Of life:
A woman's husband died, leaving her
with a boy and girl baby and no means
Of support. By the most heroic efforts
the mother managed to rear these chill
dren. AS soon as the girl was able she
went to work to help her mother. The
mother expected, even demanded, II Of
her, but she spoiled and indulged the
boy so that he grew up to be idle, shift
less, and worthless.
Girl Supports Family.
The mother is not able to work any
more now, and the girl supports the
family, the husky brother included. She
is a delicate little creature, permaturely
aged by long years of grueling office
work, but she sticks to her post like
a martyr. Silent and submissive, she
hands her pay envelope over to her
mother every week without even so
much as a peep at the contents. She
denies herself everything possible, even
necessary dental work, while the mother
supplies the son with money for cIga-
rettes and baseball and beer that the
girl has earned.
1t seems impossible that such a con-
dition as this could exist, or that any
mother could ever be so prejudIced in
favor of a. bad son that she would be
willing to sacrifice a good daughter to
him, yet such cases occur every day
know one similar to that cited above,
The Washington herald., 1911-11-18
By DOROTHY DIX.

in which, when a fraIl girl rebelled at
having to support a big drunken Ioafer
of brother the mother turned upon her
fiercely and reproached her for being
so hard-hearted and stingy as not to
be willing to feed her poor brother. The
best and most dutiful daughter on earth
has to take a back seat in a mothers
affections when the prodigal son comes
along.
Biologists tell us that there is a per-
fectly good reason why mothers love
their sons better than they do their
daughters, and why a mother has a ten
derness and sympathy for even a worth
less son that she doesn't feel for an an
gel daughter. It's the way mothers are
built, and they can't help themselves,
poor things.
Anyway, we do not have to be biolo-
gists to perceive that this is the way
the world is run. 1t is always the cakes
and ale for my sons, while the crusts
are good enough for my daughters, so
far as the mother is concerned.
This partiality of mothers for their
sons Is common to all ranks of society,
but nowhere else is It so plainly exhib-
tied as In the unjust attitude which poor
mothers exhibit toward their children
who work.
In almost every case in which a girl
is a bread-winner her mother requires
her to turn over to her her entire earn
fngs, and the mother then gives back to
the girl what she considers proper for
her to have. The rest OF the girls earn
ings go toward the fWnily support
But does q mother treat her son this
way7 Not once in q thousand times.
II he is a good, conscientious lad he
pays his mother q reReohable board, and
keeps the balance ofShis money for his
own enjoyment. And morner goes about
among her acquaintances boasting Of
The Washington herald., 1911-11-18

what a perfectly lovely son she has got
because he gives her a little money.
But she never dreams of confiscating his
pay envelope as she does her daughters 8.
Many households are entirely support
ed by the labor of the daughters Of the
family. The cons are lazy and dissi-
pated, but in such cases you never hear
OF a mother who is fair enough and
Just enough to shut the door in the idle
loafers' faces, and tell them that she
will not permit then to live upon the
labor of aheir sisters. On the contrary,
the mother thinks that 1t is nothing
more than right that the girls should
provide for their brothers.
Observe, also, the difference in the de-
mands which mother makes upon her
sons and daughters. When Tom comes
home from his days work mother has
his dinner all ready for him, and a COM
Portable chair for him, and after he has
eaten he Is perfectly free to sit and
smoke, and read. or put on his hat and
go out to find some amusements. Mother
wouldn't think of asking that poor, dear,
tired boy to do a great lot Of chores
that she had saved up for him.
But when Mary comes home, exhaust
ed with her days work, mother expects
her to get busy and help with the dinner,
and after dinner to do the dishes, and
assist her with the family sewing, and
lend hand in dozen tasks that have
been laid aside for her. II Mary were
to sit down and leave mother to do the
dishes alone, as Tom does, or II Mary
were to put on her hat and go out to
enjoy herself, mother would consider
herself the most ill-used woman In the
world, and Mary the most ungrateful
daughter.
Yet Mary is far more tired from her
days work than Tom is from his. She
needs rest and change and diversion a

Dressing for Turkey.


Mrs. c.. A plain dressing with
which to stun a turkey is made Of finely
minced bread crumbs seasoned with
salt, pepper, and either sage or thyme
leaves. To this is added small Jumps
Of butter. In the South the filing for
fowl is made Of one-third corn bread
and two-thirds white flour bread. The
bread should be well dried out. oysters
may be added to this dressing II the
family is fond OF them.
CD The kidneys are skinned and the
white threads removed, for kidney stew.
Cut them into squares and place them
in a saucepan with a little butter
When they begin to brown add enough
boiling water to cover, salt, pepper, and
stew slowly. Make a drawn butter
sauce, or, II you prefer, you may add
small button onions and Irish potatoes
TO your stew.
90 Soak the kettle in which your meat
burned in a strong soda solution, after
which clean thoroughly. II all particles
of the burned food are removed, other
food cooked in the same vessel should
not stick.
Your other two questions will be an

when 1 can be of any real assistance TO

ers Of working girls may perceive how
unjust they are to their daughters and
treat them with little more considera-
ton.
The girl who earns money has Just as
much right to 1t as any boy has to his
pay envelope, and II she pays her way
at home she is entitled just as much to
be the star boarder as her brother.
More than that the working girls

served than boys, and her mother

.YOUCAN MAKEYOUR
FANCY HANDBAGS
At Little Cost and with
Small Trouble. -

Fancy handbags held by q long cord
match or correspond with the gown with
which they are worn. 1t is not always
possible to buy q bag that matches the
costume; but don't let that disturb you,
for they are not hard to make II you
are fond Of sewing and can embr0ider.
The bag that is to be carried with
your black velvet suit, for example, can
be made OF velvet. embr oidered with
gold and inset with imitation Jewels
thus making a very handsome bag.
The envelope bag is pretty and easy
to make. Let US consider a bag Of black
velvet and gold. It can be made from
a half yard of velvet, the same amount
Of gold-colored satin for the lining,
three yards OF heavy gold cord and
enough gold-colored floss and gold thread
to embroider any design you may fancy.
First cut paper pattern fourteen
inches long and ten inches wide. Four
inches from one end mark a dotted line
all the way across; measure two inches
above this and mark another line.
Measure two inches from each edge
Of the top OF the paper and draw a
line to the lower edge. Then find the
centre of the top edge. and from there
mark a line to each edge Of the top
cross line. Now cut along these lines,
making a pointed flap, and also cut along
the lines drawn from the bottom corners
to the top, and fold over on the dotted
line.
Ready to Cut.
You have then the shape OF the bag.
Lay the pattern on the velvet, having
the nap run toward the bottom. and
cut, allowing a half inch for seams.
Now fold the pattern over on the dot
ted line and cut another piece Of velvet
that size. The lining satin is cut ex-
actly the same as the velvet
Sew the lining and velvet separately,
joining them only at the open edges.
Before joining tack a piece of whale
bone along the edge where the flap folds
over. The design is embroidered both
on the flap and the front portion Of the
bag before 1t is made up.
After joining the lining and velvet,
sew a row of cord all around the edge,
allowing two yards Of cord to be
doubled and fastened to the flap COR
ners to slip the arm through when car
rying the bag.
The flap is fastened over with a nat
glove snap.
A variety of materials and designs can
be used for these handy bags, Silk. satin,
tapestry, cloth, and velvet are, however,
the most popular fabrics. All are en-
broidered or ornamented in some artis-
tic manner, and the up-to-date woman
win have one to match every costume
she wears.
