VIII Be Receiued Eagerly BY Mothers
Yous Ages Are Considered and Each Meal Is Planned So
That the Proper amount Of Nourishment Is Giuen

spinach. endive or romaine. Serve very
| plain and not overscasoned dressing
use either French or cooked dressing.
A bit of sweet food is usually de-
mandcd by the children in the form OF q
dessert and the mother can readily un-
derstand that this demand Is very
natural one. The activities of the child
are creating constant demand for
energy and heat foods. and unless sup
piled in the form Of easily digested
starches and sugar. the child will suffer.
Plan to give them wholesome home
made goodies, such a. rice pudding,
cup custards. bread pudding. tapioca
and cornstarch pudding and brown
betty.
For the convenience Of the family,
have planned that the evening meal shall
carry the protein foods necessary. II
you can adjust your household in such
manner that this meal can be given
to the children at noon and the noon
meal at night. II will be very much
better for the youngsters. If. however.
this would entail IN extra amount Of
work. then just carry out the menu sug-
gested.
Evening Meal
For variety there IS choice OF
protein foods--cereal and nut loaf: peas
or bean pudding. boiled or baked fish,
omelct or beef or lamb stew; roast or
stewcd chicken.
Starchy foods-Macaroni, boiled rice,
mashed, baked or plain boiled potatoes.
One green vegetable-Cabhage, Gel
try. spinach. stewed. baked or au
gratin tomatoes. brussels sprouts, cauli-
flower. beets. carrots, turnips.
A green salad and cookie. piece
of sponge cake and a glass of milk.
Serve small portions so that the child
NAV cat all that Is on his plate.s
Whole wheat bread is nearly perfect
food and contains the mineral elements
that are so vitality necessary for bone
and tooth structure. Milk Is an essen
TALLY perfect food for the very small
and growing child and contains q pro-
tain element that compares fsvorabfy
with meat. II you must economize, cut
down sharply on meat and keep mifk in
the child's diet.
All natural Children crave candy; 30,

Through a Woman's Eyes

Echoes

and father to eat from when you get
old like grandma and grandpa. I'm
making them now so that when you
come to live with me I'll have them all
ready"
Something happened today that
brought back this old story which my
mother used to tell And there's more
truth than fable in IL.
1t may not happen to be wooden
plates that many young sons and
daughters are getting ready for their
parents when they are old. But you
may be certain that the attitude toward
their parents which they are shaping
and storing away is an exact reflection
on the action Of those parents toward
their own father and mother.
For many years have known a
woman who caused comment by the
unusual consideration she gave the old
mother whom she honored and cher
ished. The choicest bOnbon in the box
the finest fruit in the basket, she took
without thought or question for grand
ma. The children came to take thi:
for granted and to wait naturally and
checrtully for everything until grandms
had been provided for. Grandma lived
quite happily TO n good old age, nnd
now her daughter, soon to be grandma
herself, lives with one of her children
And there without thought OF question
she Is given first consideration and al
ways the FIRST fruits
And it works out just the same with
the woman whose children see her dis.
regard her parents or treat them with
bad grace. For the one track little
minds virgin rs n forest glen in early
spring, like it grasp everything ant
like it send back infallibly the echo.

TNHE September sun was SO hot when
l. the family went up TO the country
for a little vacation that father pro-
posed a swim one afternoon.
The boys agreed enthusiastically, just
what they had been thinking Of them
selves.
Father began thinking over all the
baunts Of his youth to which he might
fake his boys and show them how they
used 20 swim in his time.
"I wish we could get over the river
he said regrctfully. "But 1t takes too
long. We'd have to start in the morn.
ing and take lunch to go over there.
The boys laughed. ,.
"Why, 1t only takes about little
over an hour to get there in n car. dad, "
thev told him. Lets 20. We can
ret back in time for dinner
And so they went,
Jt didn't seem possible to father, as
he sat there and was pulled rapidly
over the familiar route, that he was
really taking this terrific journey, which
used to be the affair Of n week, to be
planned and discussed and talked over
for days.
WHY, they used to get up even
w earlier than usual, and hang
around while their lunch was put up
for them. then start off, sometimes on
foot. sometimes, II they were lucky, on
BICYCLES or in wagon.
Il took them almost all morning to
ret there, or so Il seemed, and often,
after a long swim. they would come
wandering back after dusk to find the
family ali through supper. =.
And there he was going over 1t all
In less hen two hours, taking his swim.

swim always brings, keeping that cool :.

going in to eat the hoyse outl
Il seemed like sacrilegel
,TNHE next day was just as hot, and
i 90 father proposed another "swim-
min hole" in a dam not more than
They did walk that, scufhing up the
dust with their feet, stopping to re-
member that il was here that this hap
pcned and there that that had been
found and all those fascinating stories
Of long, long ago when father was
boy.
At last they reached the dam where
they had another beautiful session,
getting cool. giggling and drowning one
another with impnrtiality and fervor.
And then when they were dressed and
started homeward again, father swung
out into the same road.

or Of what she would say and do II
she loved him. All of this was quite
beside the subject Of marriage as ne
had planned Il for himself, and yet ne
had come to the point where he coula
no longer hide from himself the tact
that he was thinking these thoughts.
Standing there at the railing. ne
wondered what she would say. II ne
asked her to marry him. If ne, tne
great Richard Blakeslee. should ASK
the girl who had worked for four years
In his office as private secretary 10 DC
his wife!
From a salary Of forty dollars a
week to unlimited means! 1t would
dazzle her, and the other man, some
insignificant clerk, who could never give
her anything, would be forgotten en-
tirely.
At that moment Richard Blakeslee
had a vision Of Theo's scorntul green
eyes. her lovely, mutinous chin, ana
something very like doubt crept into
his mind, but only for second. After
all, she was a woman, and IL she hau
worked for a living was really not any
different from the women he had known.

Always he was the conqueror, she
the conquered. There was no other
way possible between man ana a
woman, as Richard Blakeslee had grown
| to see and understand life:
Quite suddenly he realized that ne
had been dreaming there for some time
In thinking about this girl he had for
gotten the fact that his South Amer
lean trip was. for the time being at
least, problematical, and that the yacht
was drifting precariously far OF its
course. 1t was strange that these rela-
lively important things seemed to mat
ter SO little and that his thoughts were
far more concerned with a girl who
few days ago had meant no more to
him than ono Of his Office chairs.
But now-his mind trailed on again,

Many years ago, in a picturesque lit
tie village, a couple with two children
and the husbands parents lived to-
gether in a small house. The grand
mother and grandfather lived in the at
tic. but they never complained, and all
got along very well together. OF course,
the old couple never stayed downstairs
when there was company, but nobody
seemed to notice that.
In those days china plates were very
expensive-quite luxury, in fact, and
this family had only four. So grand
mother and grandfather ate from wood
en- plates.
One day the mistress of the house
went out into the yard and found her
young son working diligently with his
small tools, shaving off and shaping
some pieces of wood. She asked him
what he was doing.
"Oh. I'm making your wooden
plates" said the boy.

Mrs. Wilson's Answers

Ny Dear Mrs. Wilson-Kindly give
me the reason why. when making S,m.
II often occurs that among twenty
Jars of Jam, all treated alike. a few OF
them will not hold the preserving wax
firmly. I never have that trouble when
making jelly. After standing a few
hours each jar is wiped with clean
damp cloth and boiling wax is poured
in and left untouched until the wax is
hard. Does it harm the jam IL the wax
has not adhered firmly to the sides Of
the jars? MRS. f. p.
The cause Of this is that the wax Is
too hot when poured over either the jam
or Jelly and in cooling shrinks. Just
pour little moro wax around the crev-
ices and it will not hurt the jam if the
lars are kept in cool, dry place.

There are two points by which you

Among the ladies. 1t is whispered,
there are those who assiduously simu-
late the slenderness of shape by er-

But while this may prove desire
TO look we'll in the eyes of others, that's
all it does prove. For the thickness OF
the hairs cannot be disguised from a
keen eye.
Fine haired and finely shaped eye

As rule such people are neither

tics. Even in this case the indication
