What Children Should Eat

of an approaching meal spells amaze
mia and loss of energy, Not because
the child has eaten too much candy,
but because it has been accustomed
to spoil its appetite for nourishing
meal.
Tea and coffee, on the other hand,
are as bad as strong drink to chill
dren and are anatherna In all sane
households.
Be it remembered also that under
no circumstances should mother al
low spicy, gingeryy or highly seasoned
articles to mingle among the child S
victuals. Worse even than the OBJ
noxious fried foods of the fat pan
are pickles and peppers, kidneys and
tripe. herring and spices, griddle
cakes and chow-chow, celery sauce
and chill sauce, catsup and alcoholic
liquors.
And it may be said, in conclusion,
that the mothers who forbid their
children to eat hasty buildings and
the other lead-heavy buildings are
quite correct in their practise.

country went to get in the wheat and
grain.
In the morning, when the people
were eating their lunch they heard

BABY, and they saw the mother of
the child climbing up the mountain

took it in her arms. But how was
she to get down again, All of a

To Clean a White Feather

Dear MISS Doom.
Will you kindly tell me through
your column how to clean white
feather Thanking you in advance,
MAY T.
1 take it for granted that you
mean an ostrich feather.
Gasoline will clean 1t nicely Il
you use care and patience. 1t is
important to let 1t soak thoroughly.
This will take at least fifteen min
utes. Then run through the fingers
several times, until you feel that ali
of the soil has been loosened. Soak
and rinse in clean gasoline and hang
in the air to dry.
Caution-Do not use gasoline in a
warm room or near a fire, as it IL
highly inflammable.
Here is another way:
Draw the plume carefully through
a warm latherY of white soap several
times, rinsing in tepid, then in cold
water. Hold them a short distance
from the fire. and curl a little at a
time, as the portion dries, by draw
ing the feather brislSly between the
thumb and a steel knitting-needle,
or the blunt side of silver knife.

Will you help me? Suppose l was

I was the first to leave, should

Introductions are a bugaboo TO
you simply because you make them
so. Try not to be self-conscious.
When young man is presented TO
you say whatever comes into your
head-within bounds, of course. In
clining your head and repeating his
name will suffice. II is not neces-
sary to shake hands, but this would
be a pretty courtesy if the young
man is a close friend of the one who
performs the introduction. II am
happy to know you" How do you
do" This is pleasure" are
among the correct phrases that come
easily.
Do not think in advance about
what you are going to say, and you
will have no trouble. If you feel
that you are going to humble" do
not try to speak at all. Nod your
head and smile instead.
A woman does not rise when
man is presented to her. She does
rise when a woman is introduced.
When leaving a roomful of people
it is necessary only to say good-by
to your hostess and assure her that
you have had lovely time whether
you have or not).

was walking along Broad street
yesterday when / saw a dear little
rosy-faeed boy, all dressed In gray
He had a gray box coat. gray
leggins, gray cap with black vel
vet earlaps and furry gray gloves.
And he had big brown eyes that
snapped merrily as he trudged
along beside his mother, and cheeks
that glowed rosily.
Altogether, he made a delightful
picture.
But
In one hand he carried a paper
bag. And suddenly he stubbed his
toe and fell down, and the bag hit
the edge of the curb, and the paper
tore. and red and pink and green
and yellow and white candies went
in every direction.
Gone was the sunshiny face of the
little boy as his mother hastily
stood him on hiss feet.
He was not hurt, but terrible
rage elbowed all of the merriment
out of the big brown eyes. And his

Then, with howl, he threw the

boy, and at the dinner table last
night she told Dorothy and Dayie

They listened with interest.

Tabby, the Black Kitten

One evening a little girl named
Lucy washed her black kitten,
brushed down its fur and sent it out
for a walk. The kitten went through
the lane and met two boys. The
kitten called them giants, and they
picked her up by the tail and threw
her into the air, which made tabby
cry.
When she came home her fur was
all dirty and her mistress did not
know who was to blame, but she
went out with tabby and the kitten
showed her the two boys. The end.

They Want to Make Money for
Vacation Time

Dear Miss Margery Doom
Ten girls have formed a social
club. We have several plans for
next summer, but are unable to
carry them out because we have
no ready cash except that which
we bring in monthly.
Would you kindly tell US several
ways in which we can raise money?
Your suggestions will be gratefully
received. CLUB.
Why not make fancy articles and
place them on sale at the Woman's
Exchange? Centrepieces, pillow
tops, table covers, cushions and
the like bring large profits. You
could do the embroidering, ETC., at
your meetings.
The department stores sometimes
buy fancy articles and canned
fruits, too.
Here are some other ways in
which you might make money:
Make candy, stuff dates and salt
almonds for sale among your
friends (these articles are also ac-
cepted for sale at the Woman's Elk
change): read to old ladies at so
much per hour; make favors and
paint place cards for luncheons and
dinners: sell magazine subscrip-
tions. Have | helped?

The children's cold-weather break
fast should consist of fruit or plate
OF milk with cereal, with an egg and
bread and butter. They should never
be given fish or meat, no matter how
old they are. Indeed, it is doubtful
habit even for the groun-ups.
The children must have at least one
hot meal or dinner u day. What ]
call good dinner is not warmed
over, stale meal. but one that is
served fresh, with non-greasy soup.
Many women who pride themselves
upon their soups are sadly mistaken
in their vanity. Often their soups are
SO rich, fat, greasy and indigestible
that the children of the household go
through life tongue-coated, nervous
wrecks.
The meat at d good dinner, like the
soup, should be cooked without grease
--broiled or roasted-never fried One
good non-starch vegetable, with a
baked potato and a wholesome des-
sert-ice cream or junket--make up
the dinner of most children at school
or college.
WIN the auultlon OF green NeSeta-
bles and steWed fruits, supper should
differ but little from the breakfast.
Needless to say. milk should always
be given the child at this meal, as
well as at breakfast. 1t should be
slipped slowly.
Chocolates peanut taffy desserts,
custards gumdrops, cakes and all
sweets may be eaten with impunity
after meals. Sugar is necessary to
growth and does no harm. But there
is a time and place for eating sweet
meats that each parent should OBJ
serve. To eat them within two hours

The AII-Inportant Brassiere

The brassiere Is a positive necessity
for every stout woman and should
serve also as a corset-cover. thus
saving the wearing of two similar ar
ticles of apparel.
1t must be well-cut, carefully fitted
and boned at each front dart, SO that
the figure be held we'll in place.
A good brassiere cut from fine cou-
til or twiled muslin. with very little
trimming, will preserve the outline of
the figure, conceal the top line of the
corset, back and front, ard make pos
sible a perfectly fitting gown.

Chocolate Hearts

Melt, by standing over hot fire,
three ounces of unsweetened ohoc-
olate. Add two cups and half of
sugar sifted (powdered). Mix
thoroughly.
Work to a stiff yet pliable paste
with the unbeaten whites of two
eggs, adding vanilla to flavor. II
the paste is too soft, add a little
more sugar.
Break off in small pieces and roll
out about one-fourth of an inch
thick, sprinkling the board and
paste with granulated sugar instead
of flour.
Cut with a heart-shaped cake
cutter or any other small cake cut
ter. and place on pans oiled just
enough to prevent sticking.
Bake in u very moderate oven.
When done they will feel firm to
the touch, solid crust having
formed over the top.

will loosen easily from the pan
after being allowed TO stand for a
moment to cool.
