Just Research Work


Curiosity is one vice not becoming
ito a gentleman.
1t isn't mentioned in the justly
famous Ten Commandments as one
CT the major deadly sins, but it can
stir up trouble just the same.
For instance, what can be more
perturhing than the right answer to
the question, who was that lady
saw you with at lunch the other
Gay?"
The reply. approved by all our
best burlesque circles, is, of course,
THAT was no lady that was my
wife!" Curiosity deserves such a
we'll ed rebuke. But just the
same, it involved embarrassing pos
sibilities, especially SO when the in
quirer happens to know that your
wife is tall-and red-headed, and
that this person with whom you
we're having a noon luncheon confer
ence is petite and blond.
Curiosity, as such. isn't definitely
catalogued as a masculine shortcom-
| ing. No, indeed. When the lord OF
| the manor gets an attack of this
| sort. he calls it research work" OF
looking for information, smoking
out the fact" "unearthing the
truth" or going to the bottom Of
the matter"
They are all pretty titles. high
sounding enough 20 salve the mas
culine vanity. But they'll he curren
as long as curiosity is the root of al
| divorces.

Good Diet For
Babies Explained

When does the artificially fed in
fant need more than milk?
Father and grandmother or Mrs.
Friend -of-the-Family frequently an
swer that question for the mother,
"Oh, don't you think that Betty can
have a taste Of apple sauce? Why
just look how she enjoys it," "A
little taste of potato can't really hurt
her. I never did believe in these
fussy new tangled ideas!"
And so Betty gets her first taste
of new foods, not when her body IS
ready to take care of them, but at
the whim of some member of the
family. Perhaps she should have
had that particular food weeks ago,
perhaps she should not have it for
several months.
The normal artificially fed baby, ac-
cording to DIR. Florence Powdermak-
er, who as nutrition specialist of the
New Jersey College of Agriculture
has made a scientific study of in
fant feeding, should have ca
spoonful of orange or strained toma-
to juice diluted with an equal
amount of water by the third month.
The amount should be increased
gradually to a tablespoonful by six
ders larger amounts.
Prune juice Cooked without sug-
arr may be given at months, and
by a year the baby may be getting
the Juice of fresh ripe peaches and
pineapple. and the pulp of baked ap-
pies or applesauce.
Strained vegetable soup-about i
ounce-may be started at g. months
and this may be increased to or
6 ounces by 8 months. A teaspoon
full of thoroughly cooked greens or
carrots put through a sieve may
then be tried.
Bottle-fed babies may get leve!
tablespoonful of cruel at 6 months
and this amount may be slowly IN
creased so that at year the BABY
may have 4 tablespoonfuls. Don't let

bread which has been thoroughly

MORENEWSFROMLOCALW WOMEN
TRAVELLING IN FOREIGN LANDS

Letters recently. received by DIR.
Frederick Niedermcyer indicate that
the local people who are cruising in
the Mediterranean are having a va
riety of experiences. Aboard the
Empress of Scotland. Mrs. Nieder-
meyer write:
Il want to tell you of the glorles
we have seen, but there are no words
to do them justice. I feel bit like
getting off in a corner and crying,
for Athens has gotten into my heart.
Il was pretty rough in the harbor,
and we had bad time getting into
the tenders, but that was nothing
compared to getting back on the
Empress at night. We were at 1t
from Z to 10 o'clock, and most of
the time were not more than three
feet away from the steamer, but the
ropes would snap. The Greeks have
produced some wonderful thigs, but
poor sailors. / thought the officers
on the Empress would die laughing
at them.
1.-The Acropolis impressed me be-
yond my widest dreams. Surely
nothing that we can see can sur
pass it! We were there in the late
afternoon, when the sun was be-
hathed and softened the scene until
il appeared almost unreal in its
Colds and purples. Athens is a mar
BILE city, and I verify believe that
even it's dust is marble dust.
THE refugees are sWarming into
the city from Smyrna. They live in
tents, for the most part, and was
surprised to see now healthy the
children looked. They cheered us
iustily, as we went By in automo-
biles. We were warned not to eat
any uncooked food, either in Athens
or Constantinople, as typhus is rag
ing"
I'VE steamed up the Bosporus this
afternoon" she writes under a later
date, and how the boys on board
the American battleships did cheer!
I cannot realize that / am actually
seeing the things we used to read
about. The Bosporous made me
think of the Hudson river. The mail
from the States has not arrived. and
we are all wild to hear from home.
Tomorrow we go ashore at Con-
stantinople. I have not had an ache
or a pain, and we have taken some
fine pictures"
After having seen Constantinople,
sh writes, while sailing through the
Dardanelles, az am more or less re-
lieved to get out of the land of the
Turk. Our first injunction upon

to give up our passports. Mr.. Bitter

for the carriages in regular Macy

! All Constantinop1e seems to be on
edge. Firearms are being passed out
quietly to the Turks. If anything
should break, or give way politically,
every Turk in the streets would turn
and stab the nearest Christian. All
British women have been ordered
home. There are some 100000 arm
ed Turks in the city, and about S0.-

Tomato Sauce
BY BERTHA e. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

Probably no sauce is used more
often or with more satisfying results
than a tomato sauce.
OF course one made with some
meat stock is richer and better fla
vored but with plenty of seasoning
a good one can be made without
stock. Such, for instance, is this:
Prepare two cups tomatoes, one
small onion (thinly sliced), two
tablespoons bacon fat, two table,
spoons flour, one teaspoon each of
sugar and salt, one whole Glove,
one-half teaspoon peppercorns, a
small piece of bayleaf and two table
spoons chopped celery, or, instead of
the celery have one-half teaspoon
celery salt, a sprig of parsley and
one-eighth teaspoon thyme.
Fry the onion in the bacon fat
add flour and brown. Then add to-
matoes and seasonings and cook
slowly 20 minutes. Strain, rubbing
every bit of pulp through the sieve.

emerald to some woman for two
thousand dollars. No, it did not cost

Here is something funny. Since
there are six of us, we nave been
pretty self-sufficient, and have not
mingled with others. AS a result,
we have gained the reputation Of be-
ling very learned. One of us is a.
Greek scholar, but folks can't find

HOW TO GET A HUSBAND
By THYRA SAMTER WINSLOW

Here are ten recipes for get
ting a husband, tried and tested
by the girls OF Civil war days.
Always ask mans advice
and pretend you take it.
Let the "oh-you-big-strong
man" line occur frequently in
conversation.
Don't play one man against
the other; you are too apt to
lose both.
Let man talk about himself,
but not too much.
Make up, but never let him
see you do it.
Pout frequently. He'll, exert
himself to learn the cause.
Have a time limit for his
calls and occasionally have
other interests that prevent your
seeing him.
Dress neatly and daintily.
Have your hair so well
groomed he will yearn to stroke
it.
Let all overtures of affection
come from hinl-or seem to.
