The chief trouble with the modern
woman Is that she thinks she is
mans competitor.
Thus Miss Alfretta Hallem, Bos-
ton psychologist sums UP the femi-
nine situation.
ut was never intended that wo-
man should in any way compete
with man. Her mission in the world
is entirely different" says Miss Hal
lem. And that doesn't mean that
she isn't supposed to enter the bust
ness world and be economically in
dependent when it is necessary.
But even in business there is a
specific place for a woman, a place
where a woman's brain and a wo-
mans tact is needed more than a
man..
Women should seek such places
and make their influence felt in
them rather than trying actually to
compete with men,"
Miss Hallem attributes much of
the feminine unrest, now prevalent
to the fact that women are attempt
ing to compete with men instead of
holding to her own sphere.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

There are more ways than n to
cook a young chicken, and while
frying seems to be the most popu-
lar, 1t is perhaps the most difficult.
Fried chicken must be watched con
stantly for the danger of burning is
great if cooked over gas. To fry a
chicken and have it perfectly cook
ed all through requires skill and
patience. Also a very intimate
knowledge of the chicken, a chicken
more than three months old is too
tough to fry we'll.
Chicken a la Nancy
Cut the chicken in joints and split
the breast in two or -four pieces, de-
pending on the size. Put in a sauce
pan and just cover with boiling wa
ter. Boil five minutes after the wa
ter bubbles. Drain and save broth.
Roll each piece of chicken in flour,
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
fry in equal parts of lard and butter.
Brown first on n side and then on
the other. The frying pan should
have a close fitting cover. Put
chicken on hot platter and keep in
a, warm place while making the
gravy. Rub flour in the fat in the
frying pan and add the chicken
broth slowly, stirring constantly.
Stir the flour and fat over the fire
until it is quite brown before adding
the broth. A chicken cooked this
way is sure to be tender and juicy
and the gravy is unusually good.
Smothered Chicken
Cut chicken in joints and split the
breast. Roll in flour, sprinkle with
salt and pepper and brown quickly
in as much butter as your conscience
permits and lard. When nicely
Drowned on all sides put in rooster.
Add enough boiling water to half
cover and roast about an hour in a
moderate oven.
Chicken with Rice
One chicken, 2 tablespoons butter,
2 onions, l tablespoon curry powder.
1 teaspoon ground garlic, 2 green
peppers, plain boiled rice.
Cut chicken in joints. Melt butter
and add onions sliced very thin. Fry
to a, light brown. Add curry powder
and garlic and cook a minute longer.
Roll chicken in -four, add salt and
add to first mixture. Stir the onions
up from the bottom, tightly
and cook for three minutes. Remove
cover and pour over / cup boiling
water. Put on the cover and simmer
for ten minutes. Then remove the
cover and cook until the meat is
tender. Add the peppers which have
been seeded and parboiled and cut
in shreds for the last twenty min
utes cooking. Serve on boiled rice.

and announcing to everybody. Yes,
I'm thirty-five and something of a
dull old fogey." They'll be young
eyes and they'll add unbelievably to
your charm.
Then your eyes should be washed.
Use the eye cup with cold water
not too cold-every day. And roll
them in the wetness. It's good for
them. A really better way to wake
up the eyes in the morning-if you
can do it's to put your face, eyes
open. in a bowl of clear cool water.
Move the eyes around a little and
then pat dry. 1t gives them a fresher
feeling as well as a healthy. clear
look.
And when you put skin food or
cream on your face at night. don't
forget the eyelids. They're really
very important, because so often
you're looking down when someone
comes to talk to you. And then. un-
less you've cared for it, your eyelids
are yellow against the pretty white
ness of the rest of your skin.

A little knowledge is a mighty
useful thing when someone in a
camping or picnic party has suffered
an injury that calls for first aid
treatment.
One who has suffered a fall or any
other accident that has resulted in
shock shows the following symp-
toms: Pale, clammy skin, weak
pulse, breathless in weak gasps or
signs.
In first aid for shock place the
patient on his back. Cover him up.
Move him to the best place of shell

ternal heat by means of blankets.
hot water bottles or hot bricks. Be
careful. however. not to burn the
patient. Hot water, hot tea or hot
coffee are useful stimulants.
In heat exhaustion the skin will
be cold and clammy and the condi-
ton much the same as that of shock.
The same treatment will be required.
In case of sun-stroke the body
