A charming and very youthful
movie star was listening while her
mother spoke plainly Of the misfor-
tunes Of another finn beauty. who
had loved a married man more well
than wisely.
The mother spoke c~ynicaily OF the
polygamous nature Of some men
and averred that the notion that it
must be recognized and tolerated
vas becoming too popular.
The daughter is an exquisite crea-
ture Of the utmost refinement.

but you are robbing this child Of
her dreams! Hasn't she a right 10
her illusions about iove?"
The little girl smiled; the mother
replied:
life than we older women did. she
doesn't believe that a man, when he
says he loves her. expects or intends
to love her forever; or that he is not
probably making love TO some other
girl at the same time. This new Wis
dom Of women, you see, Is her safe
guard. She never will have TO be
pitied for making an irrevocable
mistake"
But by telling her the truth
about certain phases Of life. are you
not destroying all romance for her?
Isn't her belief in ideal love essential
TO her art?"
"she will get less out OF love for
herself-and she will put more into
her art. She will act her dreams."
A curious experiment, thought l;
and I wondered how many mothers

Therefore when I was lately hav-
ing tea with a young genius, a girl
of less than twenty years who has

To my establishment, this girl

Now just what kind of a girl does

In the regular bran treatment for

Then put both the water and the
boiled bran in a bowl. Let it cool to

This is an exceedingly effective

There are many attractive ways OF
cooking fresh tomatoes. Baked,

matO must be used. AS canned to-
matoes must be used in stews and
soups during the winter months why
not keep this in mind and be sure
that tomatoes make their appear

Stuffed Tomatoes.
-Four tomatoes, 3 tablespoons Of
butter, four tablespoons chopped
green pepper, y cup cooked sweet
corn. Il cup soft stale bread crumbs,
Il teaspoon salt. Is teaspoon pepper.
II teaspoon minced onion, tomato
pulp.
Remove stem end from tomatoes
and take out seeds and part OF the
pulp. Put this seedy part through
a course cieve to remove the seeds.
Sprinkle the insides Of the tomatoes
lightly with salt and let stand up
side down for fifteen or twenty min
utes. This toughens the flesh of the
tomatoes and keeps them from
breaking during baking. Melt butter
in a VI par and add chopped
pepper. Cook five minutes. Add
corn, bread crumbs, seasoning and

NEW YORK. oct. THE unity
and friendship that developed among
women in war work show every sign
OF enduring.
The fundamental lessons in de-
mocracy, learned in sorrow and dur
ing the stress of getting their fight
ing men across the sea, they are con-
tinuing to apply in this r~econstruc-
ton period.
More than that, the women who
were leaders then, are now set upon
keeping before them and before
their children, in positive and con-
structive form, the ideals and ideas
for which the war was fought.
An illustration of this unity and
friendship lies in the quick response
American women are making to the
call of the newly organized Wood
row Wilson Foundation. The aim of
the foundation is to perpetuate the
ideals of democracy and human
rights for which the war was fought,
and to honor the man who interpre-
ted and expressed them for all men
inc women-Woodrow Wilson, for
mer President of the United States.
1t Is interesting and significant to
reflect that the conception of the
foundation hat the conception of
the foundation was a woman's idea.
One day last winter a group of wom-
en- who had worked together
throughout the war, met In a New
York home and then and there took
shape the thought of honoring the
man who, they believed, set forth
the ideals hat bound them and all
the men and ome of the world to-
gether for two years Of supreme eff
fort.
Foundation Evolved.
The first thought had been simply
of some sort of tribute. Then came
the problem of what form it should
take. The usual material form of
recognition did not seem to embody
the living idea that the men and
women felt should be expressed.
a foundation was suggested, and
that was the form finally decided
upon.
This foundation is a fund-it is
hoped it will reach 81, 900, 600 and
over-the income from which will
be bestowed from time to time as
an award to some person or group
that has rendered within a specifi-
fed period meritorious service to de-
mocracy, public welfare, liberal
thought or peace through justice"
Like Nobel Prizes.
More nearly than anything else,
though the reasons for which it is
given are quite different, it resem-
bles the Nobel Prizes.
There has been no such award in
this country before. But it may be
given, and very likely often will be,
to some person or group i~nconspicu-
Gus or obscure. 1t will be simply the
value of their contribution to public
welfare or democracy that will
count.
