AN ENGLISH CRITIC ON THE THAW
CASE.
Our American Ways Receive a Sharp
Commentary.

/ To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | see from report IN an American
paper just to hand that a Dr. Austin
Flint. an aiienist, who has testified 10 his
belief in the insanity Of II. X. Thaw on
several occasions in the Fast, mas replied
TO the lunacy commissioners Judgment
upon his present mental state by state
ments to the effect that Thaw, granted
his liberty, would assuredly embroil him-
self sooner or later In trouble; that any
BODY who killed him would certainly be
acquitted under the circumstances, and
that ANY tough vino would Kill Thaw
would be hero.
There is something very interesting in
the psychology of the American people.
In spite oil occasional protests against the
lawlessness which is said TO permeate
YOUR civilization. one feels that il is really
inherent in and congenial to the Ameri-
can temperament, because 1t crops out so
unconsclously, even in those who would
call themselves. no doubt. upholders Of
law and order.
Thus. a public man makes statements
OF this kind casually III connection with
such a grayely important matter as the
setting free or not of person who has
been once declared a lunatic. but who is
not now suffering from any form of men-
tai disease-and, apparently. no one finds
in them subject for comment. I should
have thought they would have peen re-
garded as an almost direct encourage
ment for any person who felt an inclina-
tion 10 establish himself as a hero with
very little risk TO draw Thaw INTO a
quarrel and shoot him down. II might he
even unarmed. or for that matter Tor
any person with a personal grudSe against
| the man 10 act in the ssme manner.
I, DR. Flints comment upon the iudg-
ment OF the commissioners, money did

WHEN THE LINEN
NEEDS REPLENISHING

-
Before the season begins every good
housewife goes carefully over her draw
ers of table linen and towels to make
certain that she has sufficient of every
thing to Keep the family properly
equipped during the summer.
The only marked difference in towels
for general use is that the fringed tower
is very little in evidence. 1t has been
superseded almost entirely by tine hem

never so practical as the plain hemmea !
article. and tho small particles Of hemp
and bits OF string which would come of
the fringe proved to be too much of a
nuisance.
For ordinary family use a grass
bleached towel is shown in the shops.
1t Is an inexpensive towel in white. with
an inch hem. finished In machine-made
fancy stitch and having a border in bars
of red or blue. Until it is washed the
towel is little harsh, but after a good
boiling it becomes absorbent and soft

Bath towels seem to grow larger each
year. until some of the outputs of the
factories at present are sufficiently large
to wrap oneself in and be quite well
covered. In the unbleached form these
large towels are selling in quantities
Even the old Turkish towel is seen mors

breakfast use. A dinner cloth in double

shows the Empire pattern. Napkins con-
tinue in their generous dimensions and

EGGS. which are a staple article of diet
for the invalid. should be chosen with par.
ticular care. To make sure that an egg
is quite fresh hold it up against q strong
light; a lamp or candle is better than
strong sunshine. The good egg will have
a fres. pink look all over. When an egg
is old it has a hollow space at one end.
II You find a dark spot which does not
disappear when lightly shaken. it means
that the egg has lain in cold storage until
the yolk has adhered to the shell. Dis
card any eggs which do not look clear
and full.
The one great help to the person who
does the catering at this time OF year
is that all garden and dairy products
can be purchased perfectly fresh. II
seasonable fare is selected with this in
view and cooked simply and delicately.

ture may be substituted. and these can
be nodded in very pretty shapes. When
the same meat or fish must be served
frequently, 1t can be rendered more ap-
petizing by the introduction of a simple
palatable sauce. and If served in dainty
paper cases it is even more appetizing.
The garnishing of dishes counts great
ly in the sick room. A little spray of
parsley, q crisp bit Of toast or slice
of lemon will glorify a simple dish in the
tired eyes of the invalid, and the ad-
dition of flower to the tray makes it
attractive.
Broths and eggs usually follow milk
in dietetic order. with fish next. fol-
lowed by chicken and beef. Veal and
pork should be excluded from the sick
room. Tripe. IL properly prepared, is
beneficial. Vegetables and fruit should
be given only under the doctors orders,
and then the fruit should be seeded care
fully.

ONION IN SALAD.

Onion is indispensable to a good salad.
but its presence should never be obvious.
The best way to conceal 1t Is to rub the
sides OF the dish with a section of an
onion. and not to put any onion in the
salad at all.
Another way Is to use half q teaspoon
ful Of onion juice in the salad dressing.
This Is for the French dressing, of oil
and vinegar, salt and pepper. The juice
is obtained by grating the onion. 1t IL
well to set aside a small crater for this
purpose. as the onion will cling to It.
Crate the Juice into q saucer and use
