Mrs D. G. J. writes: Il have been

tell me how to keep her obedient.
Insist always, firmly. upon instant and

not let the breaking of one of yoTr

of the bad behavior. keep your child
away from them just as much as you
can.
Mrs a. r. G. writes: MY husband
says our boy. who is 10 years old. ought
to do something about the place. and so
he has him feed the ducks and chickens.
My neighbors tell me they think it IS
too much for the little fellow to d..

A bog Of 10 is fully capable Of doing
such things as feeding the chickens. and
his father is quite right about requiring
him to have some regular duties for

An Old Maryland Recipe.

Maryland housewives are famous
for their stewed oysters. Here is a
recipe for this dish handed down
through several generations: Allow
one pint Of water to simmer in a
saucepan. rub the yolks of three hard
cooked eggs and one teaspoonful of
flour together and stir in: then add
one half teaspoonful of whole all
spice. salt and pepper. the juice Of a
lemon and one-quarter OF a pound of
butter. cut into bits. When this has
simmered ten minutes add a quart of
oysters and serve at once. Whole all
spice added to creamed oysters gives
them splendid flavor. Oyster chow
der is an old Virginia way of serving
these bivalves. Chop about fifty
oysters. and have ready two cupfuls
of cold boiled rice and a cupful Of
finely chopped celery. Place in layers
in baking dish. the celery. then the
rice and on top of this the oysters
Season with pepper and salt. and re-
peat the layers until the materials
have been used. pouring over all a
cupful Of boiling water. Let cook
slowly for a half hour In a moderate
oven. then add a cupful Of milk into
which two egg yolks have been beat
en-. stir we'll and serve.

WHEN A MAN is MARRIED

I called little eight-year-old John In

October s-Jeasy Lind.

| Without a doubt the most generally
admired singer that ever lived was Jenny
Lind who was born in Stockholm IS years
ago today. Her native name was
| Johanna Maria Lind. and after her mar
rtage with one OF her directors. which
took place in Boston when she was %.
| she took the name Of Lind-Goldschmidt.
Jenny Lind's mother kept day school
for girls, but when she was small girl
she was sent to live at the home for SOL
diers' widows near Stockholm. 1t was
there that she was heard singing a lula
by to her cat one day by a maid in the
employe Of Mile. Lundberg. dancer al
the opera. The maid told her mistress of
the child's remarkable voice. and the
dancer. on hearing the child sing. was
de lighted. She introduced her to the di-
rector of the opera. and from that time
on her future was assured.
Doubtless the greatest factor in Jenny
Lind's success was her possession Of a
truly marvellous vocal organ. But. added
to this. she possessed unusual powers of
perseverance,. extraordinary intelligence
and-what counted for almost as much as
her voice-a charm OF personality that is
almost unparalleled in the record of great
singers.
Jenny Lind achieved her triumphs early
in life and was heard In all quarters Of
the world. but never did she fall into the
errors that SO often stand In the way of
great singers. Jenny Lind's life was
without blemish. and her only fault was
her illtollerent attitude toward others
whose moral standards were lower than
her own. She possessed one Of the most
brilliant soprano voices on record. Her
range was over two octaves and a sixth,
extending from below B treble to G on
the fourth line above It,

We all do it. We forbid them to
run in the house. We reprove them
for taking a book down from the

they ask US too many questions. we
restrict them of their liberty and their
pursuit of happiness until I think
it is a marvel that they ever learn
TO have any self-confidence or self
reliance.

raise lettuces in a frame-and proo

could raise enough. with little trou-

the frame and seed and fertilizer.
Oranges can be depended on to give
flavor to winter salads. And apples.

ARE PANTALETTES RETURNING?

Annually, for decade or more, we
have been threatened with a return
OF panatlettes-Zuave skirt, harem
skirt or trouser skirt, or whatever the
latest form of the bifurcated garment
happens to be called. But so far we
lave been spared
For some reason no one ever takes
the pantalette seriously. Even when
your favoritc actress trips her way
into the second act wearing the latest
Callot model with lace pantalette ef-
feet YOU look askancc. Even our
grandmothers, who can remember
the days when pantalettes were worn
before, kaven'ta a good word for them
though for most of the styles that
are gone they show a decided pref
erence.
They always were ugly, senseless
things" say the grandmothers, Il
don't see why any one would want
to revive them"
Perhaps those pantalettes were
ugly and scnseless. But the panta-
icttes that are being presented this
season are, supposedly. both beau
liiul and sensible. They are design
cd to take the place of the petticoat,
rather than to be worn with it, as
was the custom in the days of our
grandmothcrs. They are part of the
princess slip, the upper section of
which is the blouse. The dress skirt
proper is then slipped on over. and
very little of the pantalette is dis
closed.
Its length does not reach to the
shoe top, and glimpses of it give the
impression OF a pctticoat, and fem
ininc dignity and modesty are there
by preserved in those OF old-fash-
ioned tastes, as we'll as in those ot
ultra-modcrn ideas.
1t doesn't sound so very bad, does
it? Perhaps it is only matter of
prejudice that has kept us from &C
cepting the pantalettc seasons ago.

Society's Outcasts. (Detroit NeWS.)

Most of the prisoners who appear in police court are pitiable. They may be repulsive, degraded, undesii- able, but at the same time there is an aspect of helplessness and hope lessness about them. Few of them are deliberate foes of society. They are the weddings. Of these, the women, sullen or shrinking, are tho most wretched. They come to pay their toll into the coffers of the la- and depart to earn more. Judges, like all scientists and moralists and lovers of mankind, have no definite notion of what is to be done with the sisterhood of the street. It is problem not yet solved.
 Skulking among these unfortunates are the creatures who earn the under worlds worst epithet, "a crook 5 crook" They prey upon the feats of petty wrongdoers or those under suspicion. They drag from them their soiled dollars. They whisper false promises into their ears and, without the courts knowledge, pretend 70 peddle justice for a cheap price.
 They are hard to land, too, because they are not out for big graft. They are greasy and complacent; ,'braz2n when caught.
 Their offenses cannot be measured by the amounts they wrest from their victims. Their "sure thing" swindling harms directly only those who are accustomed to preying and being preyed upon, but their prdc- tices throw into discredit, the courts and the integrity of judges.
 Therefore it is for judges to guard themselves by ignoring the whining importunities of those parasites and by exposing them empnatically at every opportunity.
