Helga discovered four bottles of
beer .coyly reposing on the ice in the
refrigerator, whereupon her face be-

JAPANESE WOMEN IN POLITICS
Although Not Voters, Without Doubt
They Are Making Their Influence
Felt.

The participation of the women OF
Japan in a public election is a most
striking instance of the progress of
the woman movement throughout the
world Women in oriental countries
have for centuries occupied a mental
or subordinate position, and while ia
pan as the most progressive of east
ern people cannot be compared in this
respect with many of the other orien-
tai nations, the japanese woman has
been accorded the social freedom and
influence exercised among the more
progressive western nations. 1t must
be understood, of course, that the
women of Japan have not yet been
given the ballot, Frances Frear writes
in Leslie's, but in the recent election
of a new house of representatives the
wives of several of the candidates
made house to house canvass in be-
half of their husbands. The election
was of the greatest Importance, as the
last house was dissolved on last
Christmas day by the emperor be-
cause of its refusal to ratify the mill
tary program of the cabinet Com
ment was made by the Japanese press
upon the entrance of the new wom-
an" into politics, but the fact that
women in japan, contrary to all ma
tional traditions. have begun to take
an active part in political affairs ls
significant instance of the Ieavenins
process of the movement for woman's
emancipation. The development of
modern Japan shows that when that
country does begin to move she moves
with great rapidity Even more ire
mendous will be the revolution in the
great Chinese republic when the pro-
gressive principles of the West begin
to work themselves out.

However, here we are in the "cozy

so canaryishly for many weeks before

cause she finds it mighty hard to hit

eighteen hours a day waiting for the

For twenty-four hours Peaches
spent her time hurrying between the
intelligence offices and the depths of
despair, and that dinner party began
to look like cold turkey.
And the next day, just as l was
about to send out the S. o. S. signals,

man, prepared to pour oil on our trou-
bled kitchen stove.
The name of the new cook was
Helga. She was half Swede and half
deaf
Peaches asked her for recommends
tions, and Helga said that her only
recommendation was her face, but
that she tripped the night before and
broke it just above the chin.
Peaches engaged her-what else
could she do with kind and loving
friends eager to exercise our silver
ware and gurgling their hunger at our
outer walls?
Helga was shown to her room. She
kicked a little because there wasn't a
Southern exposure, but subsidized when

the apartment with her fingers

turn out to be imitation chop suey.
Our guests arrived promptly and we
could see from their eager faces that
they'd fight that dinner to finish.
Under ordinary conditions the ar
rival of trends with hearty appetites
is a compliment to be cherished, but
with a visitation like Helga in the
kitchen, likely at any moment to kick
over the can containing the milk Of
human kindness, | felt like eight
cents worth of God-help-us.

furniture out of the corners of their
eyes, and the men glanced carelessly
around to see if had box of cigars

At least imagined that's what they
were doing-having qualified as bum
sport from the moment Helga began
to rehearse a dishrag.
Presently dinner was announced
and the entire cast jumped to their,
feet as though they'd stepped on
third rail.
The first round was oyster cock
tails, and everybody drew cards.
This was Helga's maiden effort at
oyster cocktails ard she had original
ideas about the cocktail, consisting
chiefly of salad oil and tabasco.
The salad came from Italy, conse-
quently the oysters were extremely
foreign to the taste.
After exploring her cocktail glass
with fork Mrs. Fitzenstaatz politely
! inquired if we raised our own oysters,
/ but just then a gill of tabasco struck
Mr.. Fitzenstaatz between the thorax
and the epigIottis and he spent the
rest of the evening screaming for the
! fire department.

CORN IN MANY oulsEs.


NORN on the cob is the best kind Of
corn unless you end it unpleasant
to eat. Surely the flavor Of corn
on the cob cannot be equaled by the ia
vor of corn prepared in any other way.
But corn on the cob becomes mOnoto-
nous just as any other delicacy con-
stantly served in the same way does.
Therefore 1t is wise cook who has
at her fingers tips some other interest
ing methods of sending corn to the
table.
There are methods of heating up
cold corn, and, indeed, almost any
made corn dish is as good made of cold
corn not more than day old. Sue
cotash, to be at its best, should always
be made OF raw corn, although a good
substitute can be made from boiled
corn cut from the cObs, mixed with
cooked lima beans and heated with a
little milk or cream, butter, pepper and
salt.
An easily prepared dainty made of
leftover corn is corn fritters. Cut the
corn from the cob. Never cut clear to
the cob, but cut off part of each kernel
Then with the back of silver knife
rub the cob lengthwise to extract the
rest of the kernels. To two cupfuls OF
corn add "a cupful Of milk, pepper and
salt to taste, a tablespoonful and a
half of flour and two beaten eggs. Fry
brown, dropping the batter from a ia
blespoon. A delicious way to serve
corn fritters for luncheon is to cook
bacon until it is crisp in a big frying
pan. then remove it to a hot platter and
cook the fritters in the hot bacon fat.
Corn soup is another dish to make Of
leftover corn. Cut the kernels from
the cobs and run them through vege-
table cutter two or three times. Then
press through d vegetable press and
then simmer gently with slice of
ouiou. sprig of parsley and pint OF
water-for two cupfuls of cOrn-for
twenty or thirty minutes. Then add
two cupfuls of milk and thicken with
Two tablespoonfuls Of butter. Season
with salt and pepper to taste. This
soup should be served very hot.
Fer corn pudding cut corn enough to
measure three cupfuls and mix it with
fo1r we'll beaten eggs. a teaspoonful Of
salt tablespoonful of sugar and a
tablespoonful of -four rubbed smooth,
with a tablespoonful Of butter. Then
add two cupfuls OF milk and bake. The
eggs can be beaten separately and the
whites added last if desired, and the
sugar may be omitted to taste.

THE PARADOX.

sTNIS evanescence that endures;
- The loneliness that dies the soonest
has the longest life.
The rainbow is a momentary thing.
The afterglows are ashes while we gaze.
And those soft flames of song
That burn amid the hawthorn scented
hushes OF the May
Expire before the sense can fix them -"
And notes of moonlight steal across the
tender dusk
And faery Fittings wander from the haunt
ed hills
And tremble. and are gone.
All bloom and fire.
All light and color. scent and sound,
And passion. which is kin to these,
Die almost in the instant of their
They die and yet they live forever.
For by their very poisnance they are

Deeper into the texture of thar eternal
stuff
Which Is the SOUL

MARRIED man
BAWlED OUT
BY THE COURT

John A. Jackson, 3104 Asotin
ST., who left his wife and family
Tuesday afternoon for few
hours merriment in the Tivoli
cafe, and who lost his gold
watch during the afternoon, was
given severe reprimand by Po-
lice Judge Evans today when he
attempted to send a young girl
to Jail for robbery.
The girl, Miss Bee Thompson,
21, had met Jackson, aend the
latter had induced her to sit at
his table. The girl playfully re-
moved Jackson's watch from his
pocket and began playing with it.
Later, she took it with her when
she left the cafe.
Jackson Immediately caused
her arrest as a thief. In police
court today the girl declared
that she had taken the watch as
a joke, and proved by the testi-
mony of walters that she had
tried to return it to Jackson.
She was released.
II think that a married man,
who leaves his family to have a
good time in a cafe, should keep
quiet, at least, when anything of
this kind occurs" said the court.
