We long to be thin,
But right down inside us,
Our hearts are all right,
They're soft and they're spotless,
They're sweet and they're white.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

If you are planning a luncheon or
tea to celebrate Washington's birth
day these "dainties'' may help solve
the problem of what to eat.
Hatchets, cherries and anything
that smacks of southern colonial
days will keep the spirit of the day
in the foreground. Virginia is ia
nous for its wonderful recipes and
dishes and an entree or cake or
bread made from one of these, serv-
ed with due honors, would be in
Character and solve the what-to-
eat difficulty.
Virginia Ham
Soak ham in cold water to more
than cover for FIVE hours. Scrape
and scrub. Rinse and put on to boil
in clear cold water, and boil until
the skin slips off easily. 1t Will take
about three hours for n ~10-pound
ham. Let cool in the liquor. Pull
off the skin.
Rub one cup brown sugar into
meat roll in dried fine bread crumbs
and stick with cloves. Put in rooster
and bake al hour in a moderate
oven. Basic every Is minutes with
the spiced vinegar from sweet
cider or the juice from any kind of
canned fruit. Pear juice is specially
good.
The crumbs and sugar form a de-
licious crust with the tat of the
ham.
This chocolate pudding is from
Virginia and very good:
Chocolate Pudding
Six eggs. 2 squares bitter choco-
late, 2 tablespoons flour, Is teaspoon
salt, 4 cups milk, Y cup sugar 1
cup whipping cream 3 tablespoons
powdered sugar. 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Scald milk. Mix sugar, -four and
salt. Fold this mixture into the
yolks of the eggs beaten lii thick
and lemon colored. Melt chocolate
in a little Of the hot mix and then
add this gradually to the rest Of the
scalded milk. Stir egg mixture into
milk mixture and cook. stirring con-
stantly till thick and smooth.
Beat whites Of eggs till stiff and
dry with a wire whisk. Fold cooked
mixture into egg whites. Turn into
a buttered pudding dish and bake in
a pan of hot water in a moderate
over for As minutes. Whip cream,
sift in sugar. flavor with vanilla
and use as a for pudding. The
PuuuiHS Is SeINeu not OF ecu.
A delicious modern salad Is made
with cherries. There are large red
cherries on the market canned
specially for salad. While these are
desirable home canned fruit drained
from the juice or sunshine preserves
drained from the syrup may be
used.
Add one tablespoon ground Eng
lish walnuts to one package OF
Neufchatel cheese. Work to a
smooth creamy paste with one tea
spoon of lemon juice and one table
spoon OF cream. Fill the cavities in
the cherries with the cheese mixture
and serve four cherries on hearts of
lettuce with French dressing.
If you are having Ca make the
sandwiches in the shape Of little
hatchets and serve cherries instead
of lemon with the tea. Cookies are
easily cut out the shape of hatchets
OR tiny cherry trees. The tree
shaped cookies should be decorated
in the branches" with tiny ships
of candied cherries.

? 1.-THE average girl of 1922 possess
es those qualities. As j see them
they have a singularity serious idea
of life and are trying to work out
some idea of service, in spite of all
the talk to the contrary.
That a girl leaves her knees bare
is no sign of lacking moral strength.
Personally l frown on bare knees
because they r neither pretty nor
warm at this time of the year.
THAT a girls hair is bobbed is no
indication that she isn't intellectual.
"That she uses rouge indicates no
spiritual deficiency.
Girls Simply Follow Fashion
"Vassar discourages such habits
and so should I, personally, but"
says Dean McCaleb, those are pure
ly external things. They have moth
ing whatever to do with the mental
or spiritual girl. They might be ac-
counted for in the fact that girls are
| peculiarly sensitive to public senti-
ment. They do not like to go against
1t, so they follow fashion.
However, the girls of 1922 are as

BY RUTH 4
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.-"Amer-
lean girls 1922 are better fitted to
become the mothers of the IA than
the girls of any previous generation"
This is the opinion of Dean Ella
McCaleb of Vassar College.
Miss McCaleb has held IN eXecu-
tive position at Vassar for the past
81 years and during the entire period
has been in close touch with the girl
students.
Girls who attend Vassar come
from every part of the country.
Many come with the habit of satin
slippers and gossamer stockings in
winter; bare knees, bobbed hair and
touched-up lips. They come 1S-year-
old f1appers, with just the d exag-
garations which you see every day
on the street.
"America Never Had Finer Girls"
And Dean McCaleb wear no rose
colored glasses when she considers
them. Yet she says Of the girls of
today:
America has never had n finer set
of d-wives-in-the-makin
tha. today's girls.
'They are not fippant.
"They are not hardened or coars-
ened.
"They are not less modest.
"They are above all things neither
lazy nor selfish.
Girls do queer things sometimes"
continued Dear McCaleb, but they
do not mean to be grotesque.
Explanation of Too Tight Skirt
"F'or instance, when you see an

girl, one so extreme that it Is ugly,
itN doesn't mean that there is any
viNure lacking in the makeup of

at means simply" explains the
dean, "she neither sat down nor
walked around when she selected
her skirt!
Girls mistakes in regard to dress
are most of them sins of commission.
They give an effect hasty considera-
ton from only one angle.
"And after you buy a dress, you
know, you can't discard it right
away" Dean McCaleb smiled. per
sonally I'd rather see knickers than
hort, tight skirts.
'That brings to my mind another
thing about modern girls; they are
not extravagant!
"a great deal is heard about the
wastefulness of the modern girl. She
isn't wasteful and she's clever about
her economies. She has a good por-
ton of hard sense under her couture.
1t has been developed by
and responsibility.
st believe in a certain amount OF
freedom for girls. They may be
nut on their honor as Don as they
are old enough to discriminate. This
develops better moral fibre.

NEW TOPK.-If there is a sea-

ways of the smart it is at that
period when she selects the wardrobe

Her desire, of course, is to be the

even at the resorts there are cold
days and for thos- one must be pre-
pared.
Thus one suit which affords some
warmth with its smartness goes
along with the vacation wardrobe.
This model is the type that is be-

appeal to the average man.
But helplessness he likes. That's
different.
Helplessness indicates a lock of
experience. Dependence makes de-
mands upon his suprior powers and
thus contributes to his pride. His

whats to be done when a wife
has resolved to remain a. chiidless
invalid?"
Probably this letter is not as hard
and unjust as 1t may seem to some
readers. About rs per cent Of all
persons who ask for medical atten.
ton are nervous" patients. They
need not be, and they would not be.
If they were only willing to be pro-
perly instructed in the laws Of
health.
But that is not the point here, x
cept as indicating that a good deal OF
the sickness Of women is Imaginary.
The point to be made now Ii that
most men consider good health o
necessary item of feminine lowell
ness. while those who have studied
eugenics and genetics make goo0
health an essential qualification for
marriage.
