Women Parasites? Certainly Not!
From the Philadelphia Stal

From the Philadelphia Star
Should domestic. home-making women
of the middle class" be regarded az
sslf-suprortins and helpful to their hus-
bands, or are they wholly supported by
the men and burden upon them?
Mrs. Jessica G. Finch. who runs a high
toned girls school in New York. declares
there Is q certain common type Of the
American wife who Is frightfu artifi-
cial and without sympat! ! w. er hus-
band or sense Of respoL sibilty, and can
only be described as parasitic. She in
cludes most women of the great mid
die class Well. there may be some.
There may be some husban !, too. There
are whole families that ar nothing but
parasites upo, society.
But with all respect for Mrs. Finch's
high-falutins notion. Just stop and think
a minute. If housekeeping does not pay.
then the domestic woman earns nothing.
II horue-makins does not pay. then the
wife is not self-supportins- If the rails
ing Of children counts for nothing. then
the wife and mother IS parasite.
But think again. If the home and its
influences were taken out Of our civfli-
zation for a single generation. we would
revert to savagery. All the mighty works
of man. that he brags 50 much about
and that pay" SO well. would turn to,
swift decay.
We hear a lot about "seif-made" men.
But the "self-made'' man who really
amounts to much 10 generally ready to
admit that he is not seh-made but moth
er-made. 1t would be hard to convince
any real man that the mother who gave
him health. character. and high vision
was a parasite. The busy husband who
finds his home a haven Of rest and
fountain Of Inspiration, cannot look upon
his wife. who makes that home. a.
unworthy Of her keep or as not contrib
uting her share. It II q safe bet that
there are more husbands who fan prop
erly to appreciate their wives helpful
ness than there are wives who arc para
sites.

Ham in Virginia Style.
From the Philadelphia Star

In the first place. be sure you have a
Virginia ham, which is far cry from the
hams usually sold here. In such cases
this is the real way of preparing it:
Wash the ham thoroughly in tepid (not
hoO water and scrape clean. Soak over
night in tepid mot hoD water. to which
enough New Orleans molasses has been
added to give decided flavor In the
morning cover with clear cold water,
bring slowly to the boiling point, then
simmer from eight to ten hours, accord
ing to the size of the ham. If you have a
fireless. so much the better. for then the
ham needs no attention aside from twice
taking out. bringing the water again to
the boiling point and returning to the
cooker. When tender. let the ham stand
in the water in which it was cooked un-
til cold.
Take out. skin, trim neatly. glaze with
curraut jelly softened by heating. and set
In . steady oven for thirty minutes.
Some cooks prefer to coat the ham be-
fore setting In the oven with q dressing
made from one beaten egg. two SPOON
fuls brown sugar and rolled bread crumbs
OF cracker dust beaten together and
speead over the surface.
After the ham b put in the nan tn
bake. q pint OF sherry II poured over il
and the ham ba8ted with this until tha
wfne v ahsorbeA and the top of the ham
wen Drowned.

Blowing Soap Bubbles
Makes a Merry Game

Children always have a good time
when they are blowing soap bubbles.
That good time can be turned into a
merry game 10y little ingenuity.
Give each child a gay colored clay
pipe and fan of paper to match. The
colOrs should be is varied as possible.
Across one part of the room should
he a broad red ribbon and behind il
should hang a huge grab-bag filled with
all sorts of cheap trinkets and favors.
Here should sit the hostess TO distrib-
ute tickets whose numbers denote how
manv tries a child can take at hitting
the bag.
The kiddies are ranged on opposite
side of ribbon before several big bowls
of white soap suds. In which a little
Slycerine has been mixed to make the
bubbles bigger and more brilliant
As soon as a bubble Is blown from
the pipe the child tries to watt II across
the ribbon with it's fan. If he succeeds
the hostess hands to him a pretty bas-
ket from which he draws his number ed
ticket.
When the bubble blowing is over, or
at frequent intervals during the con-
test. these tickets are cashed in as II
were. Each child is blindfolded and
given stick with which to hit the big
bag. If he succeeds he is allowed to
draw as many times as his ticket de-
notes.

"Mothering" Is Taught
In an English School

In an English school they have added
in the curriculum a class which may be
called 'mOthering. practical and theo-
Tetical" real, live baby has been en-
gagged as the subject" while trained
nurse from one of the hospitals explains
to the pupils the best way to bathe and
clothe it and generally how to be a good
mother.
Girls must be seventeen or over to en-
ter this class. Each girl takes her turn
in looking after the. baby, a plump little
girl, aged thirteen weeks. Every little
duty which the careful mother has to
attend to in the home is taught the
girls by the trained nurse. How to
bathe the baby. how to cut out and
make clothes for it. how to mix foods.
scientific feeding and hygiene, cooking
for the home and how to detect illness.
They are taught to distinguish the
''teething" cry from the stomach" cry,
the pin cry from just plain temper.
That all this is valuable training even
the old-fashioned ones must admit. Our
schools are turning out thousands of
girls every year that are in no essential
fitted for matrimony. Every woman
should know about the care of babies,
whether their own or those of some one
else

How to Prepare Ham
For Luncheon Serving

Sliced ham is more tender If it is
baked than If fried. But a slice three
quarters of an inch thick, put it into
a small enamel pan, turn three-quar-
ters Of a cupfuI of milk over 1t. cover
and bake for an hour and a quarter,
basting every fifteen minutes with milk
For luncheon grind the ends of a
boiled ham and mix il with a button
onion that has been chopped fine and
little minced parsley. Put the mixture
into a pan with little butter and
moisten with hot water or cream. Sim
mer four or five minutes and then heap
on slices of toast.
For Curley bacon cut il very thin and
nalf cook it in boiling water, then curl
it, fasten in shape with toOthpick and
brOil it over the fire.
A little grated American cheese mixed
with minced ham used in sandwiches is
delicious If the sandwich is fried brown
and served very hot.
Cold ham is tasty If il is shredded and
cooked in cuTrant jelly sauce. Put
cupful of the shredded ham into a
saucepan with a level tablespoonful of
butter and half Cupful of currant
jelly. AS soon as the jelly and butter
begin to bubble add four tahlespoonfulS
of sherry and a seasoning of paprika.
Simmer the mixture about five or six
minutes and serve with toast.
