American Girls Haze Best Chance
to Make Successful Marriage
BY MAY CHRISTIE

customed to be always with the boys,
even at school. all day long. and this
fact does away with any shyness or
constraint In after years. IT gives
the girls an understanding Of the men.
to be, their hopes, their aims and their
ambitions. Also their weaknesses!
And every clever woman knows that
a knowledge Of the weaknesses and
foibles Of mankind Is the finest asset
she can have to win a man!
The idea of comradcship between the
sexes which pervades the United states
inevitably leads to more marriages than
In countries where such an ideal Is non.
existent.
And then the business opportunities
for women throw them In contact daily
with the men, and on an equal footing !!
The American girls salary Is good: she
where her ambitions are concerned.
What is to hinder her from marrying a
millionaire il she has set her heart
upon 1t?
For. unlike in England, every man
here is a potential millionaire. Our
hide. bound class distinction. where most
men. generation after generation. rise
no higher than their fathers did before
them. isn't known.
In England a stenosrapher wouldn't
work her way up in the Office to be
manager. She can do go in America
If she's got the grit and brains. There's
nothing really to prevent her.
And the story Of King Cophetua and
the Bcggar Maid comes true 80 often
in America that II causes no surprise.
This is young and rising country. full
Of golden opportunities. and her future
lies in girls own keeping, so that
she may rise to any height.

THE lesson today Is a continuation OF
l. the methods Of cooking and serving
vegetables.
MCSHROOMS-The mushroom is a
delicacy. and is served In many tasty
dishes. as for example:
Braised mushrooms, usually served
with steaks and chops.
Creamed mushrooms, served IN cream
sauce and served on toast.

chicken a la king.
Mushrooms as served with braised,
stewed meats, also used with lard in
meats and poultry.
Mushrooms are prepared by pecling
the tops or caps with silver knife; the
stems are trimmed and peeled also.
Cover mushrooms with boiling water,
and cook for five minutes, then drain,
and turn on cloth to absorb the excess
water. They are then ready to use
in any number Of dishes.
OKRA, or Gumbo, are the green seed
pods Of plant originally from the West
indies. The young and tender pods are
best. and when cooked are OF thick,
mucilaginous character.
The pods can be cut in slices. and
the rings threaded on string, and dried
for winter use.
Okra is used for soups and stews and
goulashes, it Is also served as a vege.
table when plain boiled and seasoned
with salt. pepper and butter, also with
tomatoes.
