90 CORRESPONDENT writes:
| When a young man invites a young lady out to dine with him,
~ the frs. thing she is asked to partake of is some intoxicating drink.
y II she refuses, she is told to be a sport and drink. If she does drink,
does the young a think lesso herr"
What a a thinks OF a girl who drinks depends altogether upon the
man and his standards of conduct. Generally speaking a man has less
men, plenty of them, who see no harm o. wrong in drinking and who pre-
fer a girl who will drink with them to one who Will not. They look upon
the girl who refuses as "goody-goody" as considering herself superior, o at
any rate, Is who does not enjoy the pleasures they do. She makes
them feel uncomfortable, and 10 they pass her by for The girl who will
be a jolly good fellow with them. So whether a man will think less Of a
girl for not drinking will depend upon what sort OF man e Is, what lis
ideals and beliefs are.
But is this the point % be considered2 Aren't there bigger issues at
stake than what the mai may think Of the girl?
If a girl likes a man. what he thinks of her is to be sur a very big
thing to her But after all, Is the regard of a man, who rye Ter to
drink, Sc very valuable? If she will look beyond the mere pleasure she
may find in his society for the moment, what in the long u Will such
oompanionship mean to her? Where will It take her? What will 1t give
her? VIII she have, as a result of 1t, more o. less of the real things that
that are worth while, and all the fine, beautiful things that life has to gtvef
Should one car very much for the regard of the kind of man who
enthces a girl to drink3
And though this personal side is a big one, and to the individual.
seemingly the most important, isn't there a still greater question at stake,
the great abstract question OF right and wrong7
must decide for herself where she wishes to stand. But she need only US
her eys and look about her to see the harm and misery that CONS from
drinking to realize whether she ought to throw the influence OF her
example for or against It, And 1t seems to m to take a stand to help
which is dsbasing simply o win the regard of some n whose regard ID
scarcely worth having.
And there is still another and darker side to 1t. Very often the man
who wants a girl to drink is urging her to do 1t from the very worst motives.
He has Interior designs far beyond those Of desiring her to be a sport
and q good fellow for the moment.
On all counts, / would advise the girl to refuse to drink, and I would
further advise her to cut the company OF such a a Unless indeed. she
an by being lovable and sweet, by adherng steadfasly to her principles.

WHAT TO EAT.

Let US see what we can do with
these inexpensive dishes to make an
attractive meal. We are paying now
for the cheapest cuts of meat what we
paid a few years ago for the best, and
1t behooves use to use wisdom in buy
ing any of the high-prlced cuts.
savory stew.-Pieoes OF tough and
otherwise impossible meat may be
made tender and tasty by long, slow
cooking. The stone dish or casserole
has made a great difference In our
meat bills where 1t Is commonly in
use.
Cut a round steak into cubes and
roll each cube in seasoned flour. Put
into a frying pan a little fat and fry
a minced onion in 1t until q light yell
low. Lay In the meat, fry for five min
utea, cover with cold water and SIM
mer on the back Of the range for two
hours. Season with salt and pepper,
add a halt teaspoonful Of Worcester
shire sauce and a tablespoonful Of
catsup. Serve hot with boiled rice or
mashed potato.
Bread and Cheese.-Thls bread and
cheese will be followed by kisses II
the recipe Is carefully followed.
Grease a pudding dish and put into
1t a layer Of slices Of stale bread; on
each slice place a thin slice OF Ameri-
can cheese. Beat n egg very light,
stir It into q pint Of milk, salt slightly
and pour the milk over the bread and
cheese. Set into the over until
Drowned lightly, and serve with a
dash Of cayenne. Serve hot This 10
a nice dish for supper.
Coffee tapioca pudding Is a simple
dessert. Pour over a cup Of Boftened

Take five pounds of -four, mix with
it a dessertspoonful Of salt, rub In
three-quarters Of a pound of butter and
one pound Of lard. Add half a pint Of
good, fresh brewers yeast and knead
as for common bread. II there is any
difficulty In obtaining yeast baking
powder may be used, allowing a heap
ing. ~teaspoonful of ordinary baking
powder for every pound Of material.
If yeast is used let the dough rise be-
fore adding the other ingredients. Mix
in three pounds Of currants, II and
one-half pounds moist sugar, a whole
nutmeg, a quarter pound candied lemon
peel chopped fine and four well beaten
eggs. Butter the mold and bake in o
moderate oven for about two hours.

DREAMING For Turkey,

Crumb the inside Of a loaf OF stale
bread fine and do not use the crust.
Take a good sized lump OF butter,
melt and pour over the breadcrumbs.
Mix together thoroughly and lightly.
Beat the yolk Of an egg, mix with
one-half cupful of thick sweet cream
and add to the bread. Mix as lightly
and quickly as possible. Use either
sage or parsley. The secret OF good
dressing is that it must be handled
with quick, light, delicate fingers, be
soft and crumbly and yet moist. When
ready to S put into the fowl very
carefully. If 1t is crowded in hard
and tight it will be spoiled when done
by being hard. 1t should open out In
a light, rich, fluffy appearance when
turkey is carved.

The appearance of a steam radiator
may be greatly improved by partially
inclosing 1t IN a closet. A framework
is built which resembles the regulation

tour-that Is, q top shelf and two sides
or ends to support 1t and eel
forced otherwise, OF course. to render
1t perfectly solid and substantial. This
Is painted or stained to correspond to
the other woodwork in the room. The
front Is filed In with a thin curtain,
As there Is no light to shine through it;
an almost transparent fabric may be
used, such as madras or the thfnnest
china silk. In the dining room this
sort of thing may be made extremely
useful as well as ornamental. In build
ing 1t space is allowed for putting one Or
two shelves inside, which are used as a
warming oven. The dinner plates are
warmed there, where they are easy to
get. and they are at the same time out
OF the way in the usually crowded

The Fret Christmas Tres.

Once, centuries and centuries ago,
near his palace, All at once he came
upon q sort OF clearing, and in the cen
ter of 1t stood a tall pine tree. 1t was
as straight as the mast Of a ship, as
symmetrical as q top, and its color
was darker than the deep green Of the
ocean.
what a wonderful treel' said Santa
Claus to himself. II don't think I have
aver seen anything more beautiful.
Tree, you are worthy to be the queen
Of trees. You are shaped perfectly.
l would not have a twlg, not a needle
changed. Like the spire Of a church,
you rise tall and sharp toward the sky
"a symbol of all aspiration. I must
honor you, tree, I must deck you as
is BETTING"
And that night Santa Claus had a
skein Of silver thread spun from the
moon, and he draped 1t In long lines
from the tip Of the tree. Ny, how 1t
sparkledl How bright 1t wasl And
he borrowed flakes Of fire from the
stars-red, yellow, blue and green
and he fashioned them into pretty
shapes, and these he hung on the tree.
Lastly, he gathered a great basketful
Of golden dust from the Milky Way
and poured 1t 9 the tree until 1t all
seemed to be at1ame. Never vas seen
so splendid a sight
And that, boys and girls, was the
first Christmas tree. And there was
no one to see 1t but Santa Claus.

LONG SLEEVES.

others that could be suggested. In place
Of the lace, any soft material could be
used for the bretelles with the edges
finished with hem-stitching or in any

made with a yoke and long sleeves in
place Of the short ones. There is a fitted
lining over which the parts are arranged
and the separate sleeves are sewed to the
armholes. The girdle forms two deep
points at the back, one at the front, and
the backs are crossed and closed under
the left arm. The bodice itself is closed

VeIveteen and Corduroy,


Velveteen and corduroy are used to
fashion many smart frocks for street
wear.
Plain colors are more frequently used
Tor the velveteen models. They are eff
fectively trimmed with fur, metallic
laces, Persian or tapestry embroidery.
Velveteen does not adapt itself so
successfully to draping as do the softer
velvets, so the skirts are usually plain
Or with plated insets.
The bodices are jumper effects, with
guimpes Of lace or chiffon.
Corduroys In the soft finished quail
hes are extensively used.
Frocks and coat suits are developed
of this material and seem to find a
ready sale.
The two tone corduroys in brown and
tan, blue and black or black and white
are especially favored.
In plain colors dark blue, brown,
black and burgundy are the shades
more frequently used.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Christmas Morning.

1t was Christmas morning,
The clock had just struck four
When two tiny bare feet
Stepped out on the floor,
They tiptoed quite softly
Without making a sound,
And two chubby hands
Grabbed the stockings SO round,
Then a sweet little voice
Laughed softly in glee,
For old Kriss had filled
That stocking as full az could be.
There were nuts and candles,
Sugar plums and toys
And funny made animals
That sQueaked a queer noise,
Next wee jumping jacks
On bright yellow sticks,
And the last gift of all
Was a box full of tricks,
Then the dear little voice
Whispered quite low:
"Oh, thank you, dear Krissy,
For treating me sol
"In creep back in bed
And go quite fast asleep
And beside me till morning
My presents I'll keep,
Good night, dear Kriss Kringlsi"
A sleepy voice said,
Then, tired and happy,
Crept back into bed.

Russian style.
While many Of the popular numbers
are in Norfolk style, others are button
