From the days of the early fur
traders on through the period when
settlers, moving west from the Car
olinas and Virginia, pushed their way
through Tennessee and Kentucky and
still later when the flood tide of mi
grafton was peopling the West many
circumstances have combined to
bring strong, brave, resourceful men
into Missouri. In the earlier days the
advantages of St. Louis as trading
post, the richness of the State in ag-
ricultural and mineral wealth and the
importance Of its rivers brought the
best there were among pioneers and
frontiersmen. They were a hardy,
fearless, keen-minded set of men,
from whom there developed the SOL
diers and scarcely less militant states
men characteristic of later times in
The State. An intense sense of per-
sonal rightand personal honor coupled
with an unflinching readiness to de-
fend both was one of the inheritances
from the pioneer fathers. In the
dueling period, as a consequence Of
these characteristics, the code was

from that same pioneer ancestry one

in opposition to the proposed increase
of railway rates. He maintains that
by conserving the revenues properly
derivable under existing rates the
railways would be confronted with no

Ask Your Husband for
Money if You Need 1t

If there is money to be had, it is
foolish for a woman to shrink from
asking for il. as if she were an un-
deserving child.
Also, if her husband is only thought
less, it is unfair to him.
Most men wish to spare their wives
every possible discomfort, and it is
silly for a wife to experience needless
inconvenience and feel sorry for her.
self the while when a little common
sense would do away with it, says
the Woman's Home Companion. Men
can't understand such point of
view.
Whatever they want they ask for,
and they can't see why a woman
should object to doing the same thing.
And a woman shouldn't.
There are times, of course, when a
woman wants more money than she
thinks her husband can afford to give
her, and when it is necessary for her
to be at home the greater part of the
time. In that case some plan can be
found If it be diligently sought

Forced Feeding for Processes

1t is we'll known that in this day
women of the East are considered
beautiful in proportion to the amount
of fat their carry-which is exactly
the opposite view from that of Vest
ern women.
1t was not known until recently
that this idea is very ancient, but the
discovery of a copper bowl, which is
about $500 years old, found in an
Egyptian tomb, discloses the fact that
in that day not only were women eX-
pected to be fat, but that they were
regularly fattened
The University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum has a specimen of early copper
work from Egypt which is very rare
1t is about the size of a large soup
tureen and belonged to some wealthy
family along about the days when
Joseph was ruling Egypt with a high
hand, says the Buffalo Sunday Times.
The remarkable thing about the
bowl is the series of illustrations
craven on the outside which discloses
the manner in which princesses We're
fattened for the matrimonial market,
to put it rather crudely.
The scene shows servants going to
pasture for the cows, driving them
home, milking them and Immediately
giving the warm milk to a princess
nearby.
She is seen to be already SO fat as to
make modern society woman groan
in spirit, but she is greedily Selling
bucket containing about three gallons
of the fluid while her nurse standing
by (who, by the way, is quite thin), is
reckoning the mixers to bring on
some more. That she is a princess is
shown by her garments and also by
Inscriptions.
The university museum has found
elsewhere descriptions of the process
and it seems that the young ladies
took readily to the treatment as the
surest means of getting a husband.
Anyone coming around with anti
fat medicine in those days would have
been kicked off the palace roof into

THE BRIDES OWN STORY
2-How Learned to Like Homework

Ever since | was little girl / re-
member hearing mother complain
about the drudgery of homework.
II hope you'll never marry man
so poor that you'll have to do all
your own work." she often said. Still
she believed that every woman
ought to know all about the details
of housekeeping, so that she might
properly direct household help. Ser
wants are apt to take advantage of
you IL you know nothing of practical
work.
Somehow, though. Aunt Juliette
seems to have an entirely different
viewpoint about homework. She
positively loves to keep house and
takes actual joy In welding the mop
and buster herself whenever she can.
She has a rather simple country
house-nine rooms. with a big vege-
table garden, an old apple orchard.
not to speak of two real babiesl And
she manages house, garden and
babies with the aid of Just one maid.
Yet she finds time for an hours nap
every afternoon, reads a great deal,
and at night she's always untired
and vivacious and ready to enter

or reading or talking of other things
than household matters.

Old-F ashioned Fashions

Grace Margaret Gould, fashion edi-
tor of the Woman's Home Companion,
writes in the October issue of that
periodical an article entitled, Fash
ion Takes Backward Steps," in which
she tells what these steps are and
what they mean. Following is an ex-
tract:
ITO be called ld-fashioned-my,
how it hurts! Yet to look old-fash-
Toned is just the way you must look
this autumn if you are going to have
any pretense to style at all.
1--WE talk of fashions asfnew, yet in
reality they are old. This autumn
and winter we will wear again the
quaint styles of half-century ago.
The modes of the fifties, the sixties
and the eighties will be the favored
modes We are to copy what the
girls then-who are our grandmoth-
ers now-wore
1--WE are going to billow, to frill.
and to flare. We are going to wear
prm, darted basques, but with just a
little of the primness taken out. We
are going to wrap ourselves in capes,
circulars and old-timey mantillas, and
looming up ahead. perhaps not as far
as we think, is the crinoline in all it's
ponderous horror"

business or professional work
Everything you do brings its mo-
notonous and discouraging days. But
| have found that homework is as
interesting-and more so at times
than any other occupation. Indeed,
it's less monotonous, II anything.
Take you, for instance, and your
art work You spent your days with
paint and brush, and If you had to
do it for a living you'd have had
many moments of utter discourage
ment and disgust, you may believe
me- If you had taught school you'd
have repeated lessons to children
which is very charming, but limited.
II you were a business girl you'd
have your little routine of tipping or
filing, or you might sell things.
Don't you think that is monotonous?
Just think of the variety of work
you can do in your home! It's al
ways changing. You can develop
your artistic side in planning and
identifying your home. If you have
a scientific mind You need every bit
of it to study foods and fabrics and
sanitation. And If ever there was a
place that required good business
head to manage it's shousei In
addition, you can get better physical
exercise within the home and garden
than In any gymnasium"
well, then, why do most of the
girls / knew at college. who've gone
off and married, just hate to do their
housework?" / asked
Because they haven't studied it
with tho interest they've given to
their biology, or psychology or peda-
gogy. You can't love work until you
are happy and at ease doing it. I
suppose those girls believe their
housekeeping is common work, be-
meath cultured woman.
when you learn more about the
many things needed in home manage
ment you, too, will have greater re-
spect for the broad knowledge which
it requires. The kitchen has as many
interesting tools as the college labora-
tory. And you'll find that planning
your home and its management for
each day and week and month is like
planning a new picture If you work
as lovingly and painstakingly in your
home as you did in your art you'll
find greater immediate happiness in
the happiness and comfort of those
around you, and the larger happiness
In the splendid plans for the future
which 1t will suggest to you"

Are Men Naturally Gallantp

In the October Woman's Home
Companion Mary Heaton Worse,
writing q story entitled THE Dis
tressing Doubt comments as fol-
lows on mans alleged gallantry:
History does not teach us that
natural man finds any shrinking
from lifting his hand to the females
of his own race. This theory of
mans reluctance to hurt those of the
weaker sex has only come into it's
full Towering in the past few years.
Man through the ages has hit, pum-
meled and kicked woman when she
proved recalcitrant, and often when
she did not, and boy unchecked will
do the same. All mothers who are
not willfully blind or sentimental
know this, and when it happens just
in play it doesn't really seem worth
to pay attention to it-there are SO
many things one has to pay atten-
ton to-

Mildew and Ink Stains

NIildew stains are sometimes a
source of great trouble, and are diff
cult to remove unless you know just
the right way. Rub a little soap over
the miidew spots, and on top Of this
little chalk and lemon juice. II the
garment is then put out in the sun
for couple of hours and afterward
washed in the usual way, the spots
will disappear, says an exchange.
Tomato is said to be successful in
many cases of removing ink stains
from white materials, such as hand
kerchiefs, muslin frills, etc. 1t must,
however, be done as soon as possible
after the mishap has occurred. A
clean piece of blotting paper should
be laid under the stain, and a Slice of
raw, ripe tomato rubbed over the sur
face, fresh pieces of blotting paper
being substituted until the ink spot
has vanished.

Evening Frocks Sleeveless

| Sleeveless evening frocks are the
rule. Perhaps 1t is the Grecian in
huence, the same that led Paul Poiret
in his costuming Of Aphrodite, that
has brought about these sleeveless
frocls.
Certain it Is that they are very at
tractive, says an exchange.
Sometimes there are jeweled bands
to hold them over the shoulders and
sometimes there are bands of flowers
or folds of tulle.
Then the corsage is cut off square
at the back and front and under the
arms.
Sometimes the bodice is made in
points that are held on the shoulder
with a jeweled clasp or single
flower.

Very Short Skirts

In the new Bechoff- David models,
which an enterprising buyer was for
tunate enough to get to America, the
skirts are decidedly short. and a
striking feature of them is that in
the evening frocks there are many
trains hanging from very short
skirts, says an exchange. Sometimes
the skirt slopes gradually from the
short front to the end of the long
train; sometimes the long, pointed
train hangs from a skirt that is short
all the way around. The effect is
novel.
