WOMEN OF THE NATION
ARE WABBLING, SAYS M'LISS
Fighting Their Instincts, Which Are Opposed to
Sending Men to the Battlefield
to Be Killed

"V EsTERDAY," said a man in the
i subway, my wife child me because
] expressed jubilation at the fact that the
country was finally showing signs Of not
being too proud to fight
IAN men love adventure better than
they do their wives and children, she told
me. They delude themselves into think
ing it's patriotism; but it's in reality the
spirit of the chase and the INST FOR blood
which actuatcd the primitive man, and
which centuries Of civilization have not
succeeded in killing. You're simply
dying for that sort of a fracas!'
II didn't say anything and she trans.
lated my silence into acquiesccnce with
her views This morning on awakening
she told me that she'd been pondering on
our talk Of yesterday and that II, mind
you, who had not uttered a word had
the wrong idea, and that she would he
very much ashamed Of me IL all the other
able bodied men of the country went
marching into Mexico and | fingered be-
hind--a coward
Can you beat it?"
think tho same sort of situation as
this man humorously described exists
in almost every household today. The
women, it cannot be denied are wabhing
They are torn between their desire to
take what the world regards as the high
unselflsh attitude Cthc stories of the sac
ri1ces made smllngly by the French and
German mothers stnl ringing in their
ears) and their desire to hold back their
husbands and sons.
War has always been the bctc uoir of
women. They are the great conservcrs
of the race, and since they have been ac-
cused-and rightly, -too--of looking at
everything through spcctaces marked
personal" they haven't the breadth Of
vision to see that war is often imperative
for conservation paradoXical as it may
seem.
With the men of the country bandyinE
about such frightful words as enlist
ment," "bloodshed" and war" the women
are breathless with fear and inderision
1t doesn't matter that it is only Mexico,
country looked upon in the minds of
many as easy meat for Uncle Sam. To "a
woman war is war, and though only one
man out Of every thousand may be killed
or wounded, it is the woman nature to
imagine that that man will be her man.

Economical Cooking

When You cook fish, meat or vegetables
remember this: Tho flavor is best preserved
by atpamug or roasting Simple boiling Is
more economical as it does not require so
much heat When fuel is expensive this is
good thing to know, but stcaming is the
coolest and cheapest method for summer
foods. because several articles may be
steamed over burner on which something
else is cooking.

aIarriage After Parents, Death

BrGr p'Durah RpfI-Nv father died two
months ago, and had intended to be married
In three weeks tron now. Would It be proper
to issue invitations for the MARRIAGE soon
after his death? MARGUERITE.
1t would not do to have large we'd
ding, but if you had decided on this time
there is no reason why you should not he
married and have your families and very
intimate friends present A large recep-
tion would be in very bad taste.

Some FORESIGHT

Here's culinary foresight for you--if your
oven is fairly large, don't do lot of un-
necessary cooking in hot weather. When
you cook tOnghts roast slip in a number
of potatoes for tonghts supper and tomor-
rows lunch, a hot pudding for tonight's
supper and pie for tomorrnw's dinner and
baking apples for the mornings breakfast
This saves q tremendous amount of fuel and
isn't half so strenuous as it sounds

Mend Wall Cracks

Cracks in the wall are very ugly, and
as the walls of new houses often set after
n year or so it may not be convenient to
rcpapar right away. The cracks can easily
be filled in with plaster of paris. Mix this
with vinegar instead of water and il will
not harden before you have finished work
ing with IT. The cracked place may be
mended so that it will never be noticed
