FLARING FRocKs

The war for supremacy between the
narrow and the haring skirt goes
merrily on. and from present indica-
tions each will ultimately be able to
proclaim peace with victory. As the
winter social season approaches. the
flaring skirt that is wired or other
wise reinforced so that it flares
smartly about the figure is increas-
ingly in evidence. This silhouette, of
course. is confined to frocks for aft
ernoon or evening wear. Street ap-
parel adheres to the straight line.
Evening gowns are riots of color.

Can You Make an 0meIet?

What is the test Of a good cook!
Is 1t the ability to make bread
Perhaps it was once, but in these
days of bakers bread there are many

task. Pie crust? Perhaps in New
England. and in the south beaten
biscuits. At least. you couldn't claim
to be a good cook unless you could
make beaten biscuit and you. surely
have to be pretty good cook to
make them.
With the young American cook
the ability to make mayonna1se,
which really doesn't involve any ac-
tual cooking at all. might be re-
garded as the test. The young Eng
lishwoman. however, would feel that
her ability to shine as good cook
depended on her ability to make a
fine omelet. Really. it is not such
a difficult thing. though you must
have a little experience before you
can be sure of your results. The
results depend entirely on carrying
out few simple rules thoroughly.
There is no chance or trickery about
it. But you must bear in mind cer-
tain things. -

PARENTAL TEAMWORK,
BIZ H. ADDINGroN BRUCE.

When two or more persons are CALI
ed upon to work together to achieve
the same end everybody knows that
the closer they work in unison the
better the results obtained. And, man
ifestly. the more important the end in
view the greater the need for team
work.
Now, there can scarcely be a more
important end than the successful up
bringing of child by it's parents. Yet
how often do we find parental team
work sadly lacking? And with what
deplorable consequences!
When the lack of teamwork is ex-
treme even the health of the child
may be severely affected. 1 call to
mind numerous instances reported to
me by medical friends.
In one. which may be cited as typi-
cal. little girl was brought to a
famous specialist to be treated for
uncommon nervousness. She was de-
scribed as abnormally moody, irrit-
able, and timid, afflicted with night
terrors. and bursting into tears at the
slightest provocation or without
provocation at all.
The specialist searched in vain for
phySlCdl CAUSES Ol nervousness. but
as he became better acquainted with
his little patients parents he realized
that there were in the family life
abundant causes for nervousness
Themselves irritable. impulsive peo-
pie, the parents differed in their ideas
of child training. One was overin-
dulgent, the other oversevere. Orders
given to the child by one parent
would be countermanded by the other.
Thus the poor little girl never knew
what to do. And whatever she did
was pretty sure to be wrong from the
viewpoint Of one or the other parent
Reproaches and nagging alternated
with kisses and caresses.
Small wonder the child was emo
tionally unstable, nervously over
wrought. Small wonder the specialist
frankly told her parents that he could
do nothing for her unless they would
either send her away to boarding
school or agree to carry out whole
heartedly his recommendations for
her saner rearing.
Juvenile nervousness, persisting into
adult life, is a common product of
failure in parental teamwork. When
the mismanaged child is too tough to
yield to nervousness, unpleasant char

Surrounded by Enemies.

Danny Meadow Mouse had learned
this by hard experience. Now when
ever he makes a mistake he wastes
no time regretting that mistake, but
neither does he forget it He tucks
1t away in his memory 50 that he
never viii do the same thing again
and then he puts his wits to work to
get him out Of the trouble his mis-
take has got him into.
AS he peeped out OF the hole In the
far bank of the Smiling Pool, where
he had found safety. he wished with
all his might that he had stayed at
home. But he wasted very little time
that way. He hadn't stayed at home,
so the thing to do was to try to and
a way out of his present difficulties.
His home was some distance away
on the Green Meadows on the other
side of the Smiling Pool. On the other
bank he could see Reddy Fox Down
Big Pickerel, who had so nearly
caught him when he was swimming
across. There also was Snapper the
Swapping Turtle. To make matters
worse he caught a glimpse of Billy
Mink swimming along close to the
opposite bank. A fat Meadow Mouse
for dinner would tickle any of these.
Then to make matters worse he
happened to look up, and there sail
ing round and round high overhead
was RedtaiI the Hawk, and there ie
nothing in the world that Redtail
likes better than Meadow Mouse for
his meals. Danny sighed, but he took
care that that sigh couldn't be heard
more than in inch away. 1t was a
very gentle sigh, very gentle sigh
indeed, but in IT were expressed all
Danny's feelings-fear, worry and
vain regret.

The wide skirt, whether of sheer

heavy soft fabric designed for street
wear, belongs to the woman of slen-

young woman.
An interesting development in

Sacramento, Cal-The Diamond bar,
famous for nearly fifty years as a

Gerry store. The Auzerais House, in
West Santa Clara street, housed five
presidents of the United States and
was for a time the abode of a king.
1t was built in 1868, according to John
e. Auzerais of San Jose, and the bar
room was the meeting place for many
of the men whose names have been
written into the history of California.
President Grant was entertained at
banquet in the Auzerais House in
1879. The following spring King Ka-
lukau of Hawaii was guest, and in
September of the same year President
Hayes delivered an address from the
balcony. President Harrison was a

Roosevelt visited the famous old hotel

Frances Birth Rate Shows Some
Improvement.
fore the War Was Cause
of Alarm.

Paris.-France's declining birth rate
has lately been source of much con-
Germ, but a distinct Improvement has
been noticed during the present
month.
Evidence Of a great decline in births
| in 1913 was shown in official figures
for the district of the Seine, which
includes the city of Paris, which
showed that there are only 43,480
births registered in that district in
1913 as compared to the 1850 in
1911
The infantile death rate given by
statisticians is 40 per cent, as com
pared to 10 per cent before the war.
This has been attributed to the scar
city of wet nurses and poor quality
and shortage of milk for bottle-fed
babies. The shortage is said to be
due to the tremendous increase in
cheese making, especially in Nor
mandy.
However, all the maternity hospi-
tails in Paris reported increased births
thus far the present month. In one
hospital the number doubled those of
last year. and it is declared that ba7
bies are remarkable for size, weight
and general health.
