Exchange
Insurance Rulinas

To the Editor Of the Womar's Page:
Der Madam-SOme time ago my
mother wrote to you aud received such
good advice that l told friend Of mine
] would write to YOU for her. She would
like TO know if insurance companies
would refuse to pay insurance in case
Of fire il she had rooms let out
Also. if the mother to whom sou
killed in France had his insurance made
out in her name died. could the hus-
band or children claim the insurance ?
S. T.
Glad to help your friend out.
The rate at which fire insurance
policy for private dwelling is written
is less than that for the policy pro-
tcctiug a boarding or lodging house, as
the hazard is that much the greater.
Therefore, upon letting out rooms the
"landludy" should inform the insurance
company and have an according policy
with increased rates written. The com
pany would most probably not refuse
TO pay any insurance il this were not
done, but only pay the amount
provided for in a policy written out
for lodging houses. etc. The original
private dwelling policy. however, covers
protection for two families in the same
home but no more. If only one family
is taken in the policy is still good.
In case of the death of his mother
the insurance made out in her name
by her son killed in France would &C
to the next of kin. her husband and
children The war risk insurance is con
trollcd by state law and it is not pos
siblc to affect it by any will.

JUDGING from the importations and
- models made by the manufacturers
here. beaded frocks will be good again
this coming season. To be sure, the
fashion in beading the dress has
changed considerably since last year and
the materials that are beaded are diff
ferent. Still, there are beads. In place
of the georgettcs. which had tremen
dous run in the past, satin, silk, crepe.
velvet, and even wool, are used as a
foundation upon which to show off the
beads for the fall.
Usually designs, such as circles, dots,
bouquets or a conventional design, are
used, instead of just the plain, straight
rows of beads. Not infrequently an
otherwise plain dress will have but one
piece of beading done in the form af a
huge bouquet on either the bodice, gir =
die, or maybe on the skirt. Then
again, as though the makers of gar
ments were endeavoring to give the
women a great variety from which to
choose. the entire frock is covered with
motives.
Shown today is one of those simple
expensive things made for the fall sea =
son. The material in this instance is
peach colorcd crepe; the bodice, as you
sec. is plain, also the skirt. The bodice
and the skirt to about three inches be =
low the hip line are embroidered in
beads in a flower design. The rest OF
the skirt is beaded in rows. The neck
is rounded and the sleeves are short
These are outlined with trimming
made of the crepe and the ropelike
girdle is made to match, finished at the
end with large tassels made of silk in :
termingled with colored beads.
Worn with this dress is a large hat
made of peach colored silk, draped with
tule of the same shade. At the side
front is pink rose and the underbriu
facing is of black velvet.

WHY BLAME PRETTY GIRLS
FOR BEING $50 BRALNLESS"?
isn't 1t Our General altitude to Expect Nothing Of Them
- but Beauty?

AFTER all, is the pretty girl so much
4 \ to blame for being what so many
are inclined to call ''brainless"? From
the first moment the world discovers
that little girl has golden curls and
eyelashes that make her baby eyes look
like stars, that same world paves the
way for this little bit OF femininity
to regard her beauty as a passport to
oil things In it.
This was the gist of a letter that
recently came from n reader in broad :
minded plea for more tolerance for and
less criticism of the pretty girl.
The rest Of u.s." the letter read in
part, "are to blame for pretty girls
brainlessness. We have so emphasized
good looks that they have assumed too
important position and pushed brains
into the background. Parents and
friends have too often taken the gen
eral attitude Of the world that if you
possess good looks, common sense is not
necessary"
From her early little girlhood. if a
child is exceptionally pretty, looks are
indeed allowed to take pre- eminent po +.
sition in her life. Almost without
thought parents do this. Her picture
is taken with her head turned in every
conceivable direction. She is kept out
of school in the afternoon because the
card party ladies asked if dear little
Muriel couldn't be there. She was so
pretty it did them good just to look
at her. Nobody ever asked Muriel to
be clever or sensible or anything like
that. They only expected her cheeks
to be pink, her little pearly teeth to
glisten, her dark eyes to shine and her
hair to form a halo around her we'll

Wants Readers Advice

Dear Cynthia-To introduce myself
Ill say: am a young man of twenty
one years. have been In love but once
In all my life. This was about three
years ago, and ever since parted with
this girl never had enough luck to
meet some one whom I could care for.
In my estimation am one of the dead
kind, too bashful to talk while in com
pany Of some young ladies for fear OF
making mistakes, so wait and let them
do the advancing.
Sometimes I stop and figure how ]
would feel IL was to marry a girl
that think would care for me. Finally
/ come to the conclusion that I would
never feel happy with her.
I get so disgustcd sometimes that I
don't know what really to do. Some.
thing tells me that some day I'll meet
some ono whom | could never learn to
love in hundred years and marry her
right off the reel and then, of course,
feel miserable the rest Of my life. MY
motto has been for some time wait and
trust to faith" But when you become
lonesome like me. for instance. YOU
will forget that there ever was such a
thing as faith.
Now, dear Cynthia. what would you
advise me to do in this case? Join a
club where ! could meet different girls :?
But you know ! don't care for that
kind. | would also appreciate very
much the opinion of your readers on this
subject. Please consider this as my
application to become a member of your
Keeping Up. Hope Club.
STILL ON THE WATCH.
Twenty one is very young, Still on
the Watch, to get disgustcd because YOU
haven't met the right girl. On the
whole not many boys have at that age.
You don't even have to join clubs to
meet the girl of your dreams. You
will just naturally meet her sooner or
later and most likely when you least
expect it., But ] believe in the club be .
cause it gives a boy chance to know
girls in a real jolly way and wears off
the edge of his bashfulness. Then. too.
you know. there's no law against run
ming across the girl of your dreams in n

An Old House and Garden

After wet twilights, when the rain
is done,
| think they walk these ways that
knew their feet.
And tread these sunken pavements,
one by one.
Keen for old summers that were
wild and sweet.
Where rainy lilacs blow against the
dark,
And grasses bend beneath the
weight they bear,
The night grows troubled, and we
still may mark
Their ghostly heartbreak on the
tender air.
Be still, We can not know what
trysts they keep,
What eager hands reach vainly for
a door,
Remembered since they folded them
in sleep
Frail hands that lift like lf1acs,
evermore,
And lean along the darkness, pale
and still,
To touch a window or a crumbling
sill.

It is necessary to have great amount

successful actress. 1t also is necessary
to have a comfortable sum of money in
reserve to tide you over the hard places.
If were you I would forget all about
this ambition and turn my attention to
something about which I knew more
The stage is not the 'snap" girls think

A DAUGHTER of sunny Italy
= wrote me the following letter:

A DAUGHTER of sunny Italy
wrote me the following letter:
MY dear Mrs. Wilson-Here are
some Italian ways of serving pep
pers and tomatoes that we all like
very much. Maybe some of your
readers would like them if you can
make them into the standard
American form. Thanking you for
the many helps l get from your
articles, l am, MRS. o.
You all know that garlic plays
very prominent part in the Italian
cooking. Most Americans think of
garlic as a pungent, bitter tasting,
odorous species of the onion family.
To the Italian this seems like libel,
for he dearly loves the delectable
flavoring of the garlic,
So before starting to give you
these recipes | want to tell you how
to prepare the garlic for cooking
and also how to make one of the
most delightful vinegars for flavor
ing. Almost every one who has
bIlGu DOIH IllG SdIllC anu lIllo NAilN
gar is delighted with it.
You know clump of garlic looks
for all the world like a well-dricd
white onion or a bulb of scme plant.
This clump contains many little sep
arate cells, called cloves, because of
their shape. Each clump usually
contains from seven to twelve cloves,
depending upon the size of the
clump.
To prepare the garlic: Break up
the clump and separate each Glove.
Peel to remove the covering and
then place the cloves of garlic, which
are white in color and lock very
much like the meat of the butter
nut, in pint jar. Heat a sufficient
amount of white wine vinegar to
fill the jar. When the vinegar is
boiling pour it on the cloves Of gar
lie. Place on the lid, tighten and
set in a sunny window for two days.
It is then ready to use. The garlic,
which has now become as sweet as
a nut, because of this method of
preparation, can be used for flavor
ing and the vinegar in soups, stews
and for salads.
The Italians also prepare the red
and green pepper, which is Il part
of their national dishes, in a man
ner peculiarly their own. Wash the
peppers, using both the red and
green varieties. Place in a baking
pan and put in hot oven for ten
minutes. This blisters and loosens
the skin. Remove from the oven
and then remove the skins, then cut
a slice from the tops and take out
the seeds. The peppers are now
ready for use.
Rolled Beef With Peppers and
Macaroni
Purchase one pound of stewing
beef. Wipe with a damp cloth and
then cut into small pieces. Roll in
flour ard brown quickly in hot fat.
Now add
Three cups Of boiling mater,
Three green peppers, prepared as
directed,
Three onions,
Piece of garlic the size Of pea.
Cook gently for one and one
quarter hours and then add one-half
package of macaroni that has been
cooking for twenty-minutes in boil
ing water. Season with salt and
paprika. Turn into a large dish and
cover with grated cheese and serve.
This dish could be served in a
menu, prepared as follows:
Sliced Ice Cold Cantaloupe
Italian Beef Stew
