Food Luxuries
By BERTHA e. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

There comes a time, perhaps in
April or May, or in some parts Of
the country December and January.
| when the housewife in buying sup
plies is sorely tempted to buy, what
seems to her unwisely and possibly
extravagantly. There are vegetables
and fruits which are q little out OF
season, and she longs to purchase a
d~elicacy for the family.
There is, / think, a justification for
such expenditure at times, and the
wise woman will buy ''pleasure-giv-
ing foods, and balance her budget
by having a cheaper cut of meat or a
less expensive vegetable another day.
If during the week a meal or two
contain a surprise-a favorite des-
sert, or a cake or pie, an unusual
salad, or a choice u of meat, the
housewife ran keep her family sat
isied and happy. 1t is the deadly
monotony of food, no matter how
good it may be, that we cannot
stand without fussing.
Sometimes the color OF s~trawber-
ries are as appealing as the flavor.
Who cannot be moved by the COM
bination of strawberries, sugar, but
ter, hot biscuits and cream? In COM
bination it is the "old-fashioned'
strawberry shortcake which some
consider the only "real' one. Others
are equally pleased with a cake filled
with Berries, and white on top. with
beaten cream.
For breakfast or lunch on g. warm
spring day is there any dish more
inviting that broiled shad o on a
bed of wa~tercress?
Or some days there will be mush-
| rooms in the market, cheap and
good. One a make a meal OF
creamed mushrooms and a salad.

oucn a one can never rise high in the business world, for one
trait OF an able executive is the practice of absolute impair
uahtv. one SHOWS favor1tlsm one at once loses
the good will, respect and confidence of ones associates. Ones
subordinates refuse to do their best work for the executive
who picks a favorite.
Take the teacher. How long can she keep the affection
and respect OF her pupils il she makes her personal preferences
known. Teachers pet" becomes a by-word and both the
teacher and her favorte drop several notches in the estma-
ton of all the other pupils.
Take the home life where there is a mothers darling in
the form OF a favorite son., Is he not usually a pampered,
spoiled, unmanageable child? And when he grows to manhood
such a child is filled with egotism, selfish in every thought
and deed, disagreeable of disposition and aimless Of purpose.
Fortunately the heart of a mother is usually too Just to be
blinded by favoritism, but when it is how totally blind she
can become.
Everyone has preferences of course. But let us not flaunt
them at inopportune times or let them blind us to fair dealing

But to return to my Easter music.
Without going into the poignancy of
the terrible story OF the Last Week,
and nothing can express it like
music,-I should like to make you
hear with me the exquisite notes of
women's voices. Liquid notes, sweet
and high, dripping down out of the
clouds. they seemed to belong to the
heavenly hosts of the Biblical story.
T could hear those lyrical lines Of
Coleridge's, which to me will always
be the most musical words in the
English language:
Sometimes, a-dropping from the
sky,
I hear the skylark sing;
Sometimes all little birds that are,
How they seem to fill the sea and
air
With their sweet jargoning.'
And these "angel voices" of the
women in the ehoirs singing in per-
feet unity,--no "star soloist" obtrud-

YOUR BABY M MINE
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER sLDsgD

There seems TO be a popular be
lief that clothes for the new born
baby are different for winter and
summer. In the modern house
hold where the temperature is Of
summer warmth from October un-
til May-the actual difference is
not marked. We do not swath our
babies in layers and layers OF
clothes wen in the winter, and
We do not protect them in the sum
mer at first, so that clothes for either
season are practically the same.
Here are the first necessities for
the baby. They may be as much
more elaborate as the mother can
afford. or may be trimmed down
to two Of every article if money is
a big object and washing frequently
none at all.
Three part wool shirts without
buttons, No. ,.
Three abdominal bands OF fan
mel, seven by twenty inches left IN
hemmed.
Three knit. part wool bands with
shoulder straps; for use after the
first binders 2 discarded.
Three outing or cotton flannel
uightgowns, made twenty-eight
inches long, finished with hem and
a tape for drawing close around the
baby's feet. They are best buttoned
in front.
Three or four flannel skirts
made by the Gertrude style pat
tern, and may have a nafnsook
or longcloth top II made for the
spring or early summer baby.
Seven or eight white slipS-and

Two or three knitted. crocheted

Insurins Domestic Tranquility
BY LoRA KELLY

Eating in restaurants is Destroy
ing home life. Conversation is a
dead letter and married people never
sit down in the evening and talk TO
each other. Why don't husbands
and wives chat across the fireside, as
they did before they were married."
All right! Wen bite. Why don't
they? Wen begin with the freside,
there seldom being amy such ami
mall in the modern steam heated
days. Conversation which centers
about the temperature Of the room
consists largely Of an impersonal
cussing out OF the janiter ii one lives
in an apartment, or a plumber If one
is head OF a regular house and lot.
But allowing the freside, or its up
to-date equivalent, the radiator, to
remain as a symbol OF domestic hap
piness, conversation proceeds on its
OWL steam something like this:
Wife-"I do wish you'd put down
that paper and talk TO me. l haven't

ed seven letters to Miss Brown, ans

The Democratic organizations OF
the state have in Mrs. Pearse a
f~orceful advocate for their cause.
During the pas. political campaign
she was a notable figure in bringing
success to the Democratic party and
general indications point to the fact
