Stationery Tips

The prices on fancy stationery are soar

else, and this Is not an unmixed evil for
II has one good result-it will do away with
the futuristio affairs that have been used
for writing purposes heretofore. There is
no sane reason for spending a lot OF money
on stationery, for good-sized sheet of
white. unscented paper is the best of all
styles, and the most conservative. Then
there are other standard styles. such as
plain gray. dull blue and cream that are
smart and inexpensive Monograms and
fancy borders are all right, but they change
styles frequently. and will prove an un-
necessary expense to the woman who can't
anord to buy the various styles. Vivid
colors are passe, unless they form the lin
ing Of the envelope. The sheet itself must
be conservative.

8 CHILDREN THROWING OFF
: ' RENTAL CHAINS? M'LISS ASKS
the Mothers Sacrifice Be Thing Set Aside
and Forgotten When the New
Order Reigns?

nariiy good mother takes great Joy in
working and planning for her children.
1t becomes habit. But besides being a
habit, II is to many sumptuous delight
a rare diversion, fount at which the
emotions may drink long draushts of re-
freshment. And It is pleasant to think
that the world calls the thing you love
TO do by a desirable name. Now, the
thrill of righteous exaltation that follows
upon the consciousness of duty done Is
one of the hardest things in this world to
give up. And in order to keep It thou
sands OF blind but kindly intentioned
mothers bring up their daughters to be
entirely dependent upon them.
Columbia University, In dormitories and
apartment houses, from all types of girls,
rich and poor I have heard bitter indlct-
ments Of parents for the cultivation of
this rhelpiessness. My mother neve
taught me anything My parents made
me helpless and 80 on; pitiful tales OF
domination, opposition, selfshness, of the
tragedy of many futile attempts at ad.
Justment, of final heartrending breaks,
which only the strong and the courageous
could face, all for the right to be self.
reliant, to get out and challenge the
world.
"These cases are all the more tragic
when, as often happens, there are people
of strength and quality on both sides of
the struggle. It is a terrible thing to

Those of us who have gone through It
in the fight for personal freedom never
quite get over It.
There are three great things most
sheltered daughters are denied-friends,
freedom and fearlessness. without
friends who will respect ones individual
desires, and who will stand by one In the
pursuit of those desires, one can be
neither free nor fearless"
In conclusion, the New Republic writer
believes that the only way a parent can
keep her daughter is to give up every
claim upon her; to cease, In fact, to take
advantage of the accident by which
nature made me her parent"
What do you think about 1t?

Geranium Cake

Summer is the time when the rose ger
anium Is blooming in every garden, so why
not make a rose geranium cake? Line a
squares hallow tin with buttered paper
and line with rose geranium leaves. Cream
half cupfu of butter and cupful of
sugar. add gradually two-thlrds of cup
full of water and two cupfuls of flour sifted
with a teaspoonful of baking powder. Fold
in the stiff whites of four eggs, turn into
the pan and bake. When the cake Is cool
the leaves will pull Off easily, leaving no
traces except a faint, pleasing taste of
geranium. These cakes are pretty when
covered with rose-colored icing.
