by DOROTHY DIX.

A young woman, who comes from q
rich and socially prominent family. and
whose husband Is suing her for divorce,
makes this pathetic pIes for herself. She
saws:
Nobody ever taught me anything
about duties. or responsibilities, OF self
control. I had an allowance of $3.50 a
month for Pin money, and spent II
all and more. Nobody held me account
able for it. II 1 had been taught diff
ferently, II had known even that one
value OF money would have been able
10 gaage the values % other matters,
and perhaps ] wouldn't be sued and
suing for a divorce to-day"
This hapIesS young creature, who has
made havoc Of her life before she Is
tGenty-one, has probed through her
own sad experience TO the very heart
Of the divorce problem.
Learned socioIogists and nigh-browed
nioraIiSts puzzled their wits over why
marriage is a failure. and why there is
so much divorce. This girl mas answered
the question. 1t is because parents don't
tain their children for marriage. They
don't teach them anything about its
trials, its difficulties, its hardships.
Parents Most Surprised.
They let an ignorant, untaught, un-
disciplined boy and giri plunge into an
experience for which they are totally un-
prepared, and then when The young crea-
lures come TO grief, who are so surprised
as their parents? Yet they might as
well be astonished at a man who had
never seen salt water, and knew nothing
OF navigation, running the Lusitania on
the rocks if he attempted TO pilot her
across the Atlantic.
In the vast majority of cases il is
he rpSnnnSibla
unhappy marriages in the world. 1t Is
the parents who are the first aids to
divorce, because although they know
that their children are practically GER
tain to marry, they do nothing to fit
them for it.
From the time girl is born she is
taught directly or indirectly, to look
forward TO being married as the career
most desirable for a woman. But her
mother never teaches her that marriage
is the hardest job on earth, the one beset
with the most difficulties, the one that re-
QGircS the most self-restraint and skill
to fill wOTthily.
On tn" contrary she is led TO believe
that it is a sort Cf fairyland. in which
she Will 1--we on chocolate creams. and
do nothing but listen to her husband
chanting her praises. What marvel, then,
when sne bumps into the stern reality
Of matrimony and finds out that ii means
hard work, and poverty, and d husband
who is Erouchy ard unaIPreciative, that
she lacks the strength to endure it?
Who ever hears OF a mother teaching
her daughter a sense Of responsibility
because some day that girl' Is going to
marry, and the welfare OF her husband
and children viii depend upon her ap-
probation of her duty to them and to
the community?
Who ever hears of a mother teaching

To color very delicate French lace,
which is usually silk, it may be stretched
with thunib-tacl:s upon board. with
clean w':ite blotters beneath IL, and
painted with gasoline and ell paint made
very thin. This is done when laces are
so tender that they would moi stand dip
ping and wringing. A broad, new ver-
nish brush is used for the painting of
lace, and the process is a most delicate
one, involving great care.

Potato Croquettes.

Beat the yolks Of two eggs light and
add TO two cupfus of mashed potatoes.
Mix well. Add one tablespoonful of
chopped parsley. four tablespoonfuIs OF
cream, a very little onion Juice, salt and
pepper 10 taste. Stir together in a
saucepan over the fire until the potato
Is heated through and, sticking together,
comes away from the side OF the pan
when stirred. Cool, make into cork
shaped cToquettes, cover with egg and
breadcrumbs and fry in deep hot fat.
When croquettes are TO be fried, GER
tain points are TO be noted. In the first
place. the egg called for always means
whites and not yOlkes. YOlks have suf-
ficient albumen to make a grease-proof
covering. but they have also so much fat
In themselves that they will not make so
dry and perfect coverings as the whites
alone. The egg is put over the croqueOs
mixture because the albumen coagulates
as quickly as IL is submerged into the
hot fat, thus protecting the mixture in
side from soaking up the grease and
breaking to pieces. II Is economy to use
the white of one egg, which should be
beaten slightly and mixed with sufficient
cold water to make a thin covering only.
This not alone makes a better and more
delicate croquette, but the egg goes
further.
Breadcrumbs are specified because they
make a better covering than cracker
crumbs
To fry means to immerse in hot fat.
To saute means to brown first on one
side. then on the other: and in the ma
jority OF cases II is better to fry than to
saute things. The fat should be tried
for its temperature. and the best test is
TO use a small piece of bread. II II
browns quickly. the fat is ready for
frying already cooked articles. such as
croquettes, &c. II It browns more slowly,
then 1t is ready for frying raw articles.
such as doughnuts. &c. With some fats,
to be smoking hot means that they are
too hot for frying. and the person cook
ing should learn to test the fat properly.
When the fat is too hot the article burns:
when too cool, 1t becomes grease soaked
before frying and often breaks to pieces.

II You have been too generous in the
use Of salt in seasoning a soup, add a

Lived Double Life.

/ ST. LOUIS, May 18.-How a youth
managed to pay the dual role of a re-
spectacle young man by day and 6
daring burglar at night is expected tc
| be revealed in the circuit court here
next week, when Samuel A. Cheatham
| is placed on trial for the murder OF
George Wurzburger. Arrangements
have been made to begin the trial
Monday. The murder of Wurzburger,
who was a clerk in a well known pawn
shop, occurred in the office of the es-
Establishment on the night of Jan. 81
last. The crime evidently was the deed
of a thief, as watches and money ag-
gregating $4,000 were stolen. The find
ing of pair of sleeve buttons led the
police to suspect Cheatham, whose
mysterious disappearance from his
lodging place had puzzled a large cir
Gle of friends, who believed him to be
young man of responsibility and pos
sessed of means. At the time of his
disappearance he was supposed to be
engaged to marry an estimable young
woman. Cheatham was traced through
the south and thence to New York, but
it was not until his return to this city
that he was arrested, but later ell
tered a plea of not guilty.

AT a meeting of prominent business
men and property owners last night
the fact was brought out that the es-
Inmates on paving, figured by the city
surveyor at $2.10 per square yard,
were purposely made high, and that as
matter of fact the cost of paving
will not exceed $1.75. The city officials
preferred rather to make the esti-
mates extremely high so that there
could be no possibility of deceiviug the
people. In other words the people are
being treated fairly, with no effort to
mislead them. The paving is going to
cost considerably less than the es
Inmates given. Some think it may
go as low as $50 per yard.

The republican party of Idaho need
have care in the selection of its candi-
dates in the state this year There
are men high in the party councils who
are now feeling of the public pulse.
and some who have SHE'D their hats
into the ring, whose records will not
stand the light of public scrutiny
Idaho has ample cause to view with
suspicion any candidate or comhina-
ton satisfactory to State Chairman
Hoffman, and notice is here served
that the lid will be lifted when the
time comes. The republican party of
Idaho did itself no credit when it
placed Hoffman at the head of the
party organization in this state. 1t is
doubtful if any slate or combination
he may advance will be able to win.
Hoffman has never played politics
with any other motive than to advance
Hoffman through the pull it has
given him. And he has never neglect
ed his opportunities. 1t is his purpose
to once more play the game from be-
hind the scenes.
Hoffman is an attorney. AS an at
torney he knows the value of dicta-
torial power over state officials. Thus

irent ex-governor reelected by the
