F1cssy d. comes again with this:
Does a nan like a girl to like the
sports he does? Or does he prefer
to take UP her amusements?"
Let's go t. the root OF the thing.
The mans ctief amusement is the
girl! Whateve may be the other
interests the. share, the girl-what
she thinks. does and says--is his
favorite entertainment.
When a MAJ wants real sport, he
plays with other men.
When a girl enters a game, he en-
joys teaching her and showing her
but not playing with her, or opposing
her. BY i~nstructing her he proves
himself vorv wise in her eyes, con-
s%equently, he prefers his own game,
the game he knows best.
Few men care to compete with a
girl at anything. A man doesn't feel
chivalrous, ne feels mean" If he
beats a girl. There's no Joy in vic
tory for himself: and there's no joy
in throwing d game to a girl, for the
strepuo Is modern maiden will be
fused If size ~perceives he is letting
her win.
'Tt I've got to plry tennis with her
the rest of my days. / won't marry
herr" grumbled an engaged man
confidently, tt his mother.
That about sums up the whole
situation.
Here's a further contribution to
the subject:
According to his instinct. the
average man likes to stimulate the
mind OF the uniformed girl. He
likes to instruct innocence. In con-
sequence, childish ignorance is cul'
tivated as a asset by the sophisticat-
ed fiaprers of the time.
Now the fapper Is a receptive
young person. Her present popu'
larity extends eve to the domino
ton of the fashions for women. Be-
cause men of all ages like her ways,
women CT al ages strive to initiate
her.
However, her individual career Is
short. BY no artifice can a girl re.
main a fapper and continue to be

her sophistication must.
For a fiaprer cannot possibly as
ISOLATE with men and not receive
from them an unclassified assert
ment of the most extraordinary In
formation on a good many things be-
sides indoor 5nd outdoor sports. And
this know ledge raiccs her rapidly out
of The state of flapperdom!
Ever in ner wiser condition, and
after repeated Imitation" into the
games men like, she seldom remem-
bers the points in any sport accurate
ly enough to make a sincere fan.
And this Is because woman has
but real sport. 1t is the game Of
hearts.
In all other sports, her game is
poor. This Is because her mind Is on

her skill.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

A potato dish that is particularly
good with pork chops for dinner is
made according to this rule for
stewed potatoes. These potatoes are
very quickly prepared and cooked.
Stewed Potatoes
One and one-half teaspoons lard.
1R teaspoons butter, 2 teaspoons
-four, / medium sized onion, 1 tea
cups diced potatoes, boiling water,
parsley.
Put lard and butter in kettle.
When melted stir in -four. Ada
onion cut in thin slices. Then add
the diced potatoes and just enough
boiling water to prevent burning.
Do not add enough water to cover
potatoes. Cover closely and cook 20
minutes. The wafer should be
nearly all cooked away and the po-
tatoes tender. but not mushy. Serve
in q hot dish and sprinkle with
minced parsley.
Another way to prepare potatoes
that Is rather unusual and very
good is to make potato croquettes.
The potatoes should be boiled with
the skins on. This preserves the
mineral salts which lie so close
under the skin.
Potato CroQuettes
Four or 8 medium sized potatoes.
3 tablespoons butter. 1 teaspoon
salt, " teaspoon pepper. milk. 1
teaspoon minced parsley, egg,
bread crumbs.
Put potatoes on to boil in cold
water. Boil IS to so minutes. Drain
and shake over fire till perfectly dry.
Peel. Put through a ricer or mash
with wire masher, season with salt.
pepper and butter. Beat in milk and
parsley.
Use just enough milk to make
moist enough to handle. Let cool
slightly. Make in small balls, roll
in crumbs, dip in egg slightly beaten
with two tablespoons milk, roll
again in crumbs and fry in deep
hot fat to a golden brown.
Drain and serve. AS the mixture
is cooked the frying fat should be
hot enough to brown-a cube OF bread
in 40 seconds.
Potato ribbons are very good with
fish.
Potato Ribbons.
Peel potatoes. Let stand in ice
water for half an hour. DRY be-
tween towels and cut a thick pairing
round and round the potato. Cut
this in six-inch lengths and tie in a
loose knot. Drop in deem hot fat
and fry a golden brown. Drain,
sprinkle with salt and serve.

Your Health
Your Food
(By DR.. Il. II. Bishop

IouT EoOu
In the large intestines Is the final
chance for any portions of food not
yet digested to be sorted out from
the waste.
There are no digestive secretions
for this process. No vigorous mixing
of food ana digestive juices occurs
as in the small intestine, though a
slow backward movement In the part
adjacent to the small intestine
forces the material In this part back
and forth to insure absorption of all
that is useful. At intervals a vigor-
Gus downward push forces the waste
onward.
That these movements of large
and small intestine be normal is of
utmost importance. II too rapid di-
gestion Is incomplete and the body
loses valuable fuel. as in diarrhea.
II too slow, waste accumulates,
mechanically irritating to the intes-
final walls; bacteria prey upon the
retained material and ample chance
for the absorption OF any poisons
which they may produce is afforded.
Thus is laid the foundation for bad
compilations. headaches, sensations
OF fatigue. irritation of the appendix,
and other unpleasant conditions.
Habits of civilized life tend to him
der normal movement of the large
intestine. In the first place the abb
dominal muscles are likely to have
less exercise and hence to be less
vigorous.
In the second place food is likely
to be too highly refined. Some bulk

exercise against and this is obtain
