Concerning the General Misunder-

pretty nearly always; with
a man, more often than not; with a
woman-neverl"
So says Nicholas Alder, in w. E. Nor
ris' exceedingly entertaining story.
Troubled Tranton."
Which reminds us that one of the
things that really amuses women in this
curious world of ours Is mans settled
distrust of her sex; distrust of her wis
dom and her foolishness in her intention
and lack of intention, of her love and
her loyalty; distrust of ali sorts of Curl
GUS WITNESSES that exist only in mans
uneasy imagination.
Despite the fact that men are dependent
upon women from the cradle to the
grave, they are constantly blindly feeling
their way about wonan's nature as a
bat feels its way with sensitive wings
rather than with sight.
They miss entirely the tranquility that
woman feels in her relations with man
who just confides the whole weight of
things to her husband with the supreme
confidence that in his hands all pertain
ing to her is in safe keeping; she trusts,
W lille the man mistrusts-that's the diff
ference. What she does not understand
she takes on faith; what man does not
understand, he regards with suspicion
The more intimately woman becomes
acquainted with man, the more COM
pletely she realizes the impossibility of
revealing herself wholly to him; not be-
cause she has anything to conceal, but
because he somehow can never fully I'M
derstand her meaning or her intention.
Sometimes 1t seems as if the cave
men must have met together in a sort of
"Elks' convention" affair, aeons and
aeons ago, and formulated and accepted
an estimate of women that has never
been revised up to this good day. They
did not understand the ''cave'' women Of
their day and generation, and their de-
scendants are quite as uninformed con-
corning the womanhood Of today.
A woman and her ways are as easily
read by another woman as a printed
page, but man attempts to read wom-
an as a blind man reads in the dark, by
d sense Of touch, and one of his pet grew
ances is, as stated by Nicholas Alder,
that with woman he never knows
where he's at"
AS consequence of his bewilderment,
perhaps he leads woman rather an eccen-
trio route of friendship, or love, or most
any other old path, that the spirit in
clnes him to follow
If she has wisdom she will follow him
so far as common sense dictates and then
stop; but if she has committed herself to
love, wisdom forsakes her, and she
scrambles after him willy-niliy, upheld
by that very faith in him which he on
his part fails to accord her.
1t is usually the woman whose faith
in him is most enduring whom he elects

Society Women Use

THE HOUSEHOLD
EDITED By ANNE R1TTENHOUsE
B,
WHY NOT RABBITS

we have all seen rabbits hanging in
markets.
We have all seen men and boys going
autumn.
Most Of us have heard of farms where
rabbits are raised for food.
Many of us have eaten and praised
rabbit ragout in a French pension be-
fore we quite knew what it was
But for some reason we have, most of
us, an aversion to rabbits as food And
agriculture with the suggestion that we
might effect wise economies and do
much to ease up the shortage of meat If
we cultivated taste for rabbits. They
are easy to grow and inexpensive to
grow-all we need is the taste for eat
ing them That ought to be easy to Gull
tivate.
OF course, there are. thousands of peo-
pie in this country who do already eat
rabbits occasionally. They know how to
cook them The following recipes are
some that cooks who have prepared
many rabbits have used.
A rabbit should not be hung longer
than two or three days unless kept in
cold storage. The age of a rabbit may
be told by the paw If there is a little
nut in the paw which may be easily
broken with the thumb and finger, the
rabbit is young; if 1t has disappeared
and the paw resists pressure, the rab-
bit is too old for anything but a stew.
In dressing a rabbit there is a little
secret that will remove the gamy odor
which is so Objectionable to some 1t
is to remove the thin membrane which
extends from the flanks over the in
testines. The strong flavor will be re-
moved and the flesh made delightfully."-
sweet. The gall bladder must, Of course,
be carefully removed.
STEW RABBITS IN MILK
Two very young rabbits. not nearly
half grown, IL pints milk; one blade
OF mace. one dessertspoon of flour: a
little salt and cayenne.
Mix the flour very smoothly with four
tablespoons Of the milk, and when this
is well mixed add the remainder Cut
up the rabbits into joints, put them into
stew pan with the milk and other in
gradients. and simmer them very gently
until quite tender. Stir the contents
from time to time to keep the milk
smooth and prevent 1t from burning.
Half an hour will be sufficient for the
cooking of this dish

WHEREAS, There has been hereto

opinion that said assessment in the

provement is by the division of said
assessments into installments, and the
