SUMMER MEATS

There are SC many people who feel they have not had a real dinner if this has not included meat. It Is hoped that they adhere to beef, lamb and chicken during the summer. Many good cooks substitute the offal portions for meat on warm days and these can be converted into delicious and satisfying meals.
 There is the liver which can be braized. baked, fricasseed, stewed or fried with bacon. Calf's brain, if properly prepared, is quite as tasty as sweetbreads which are higher priced. Lamb kidneys are excellent either fried or stewed. A calf's head cooked and served with sauce 6 la Tortue and garnished with boiled beets, parsley and oress makes an appetizing dish and the broth mak es a good mock turtle soup.
 Lamb tongue is nice either hot or pickled. Tripe can be fried like oysters or in a batter. This Is also nice fricasseed with onions, and tripe salad Is delicious. Beef tongue makes good fillets and it may be either scallOped or praised to equal advant- age. Jellied beef tongue Is a nice hot weather dish. Veal tongues fried and served with tartare sauce are good, or they can be cut into small pieces and added to a bechamel or hollandaise sauce. Beef heart, stuff fed with vegetables. affords good nutriment.

NEW YORK-Special Correspon dence. )--Frocks for small parties have their style problems, too. Their waist lines give them trouble, just as much as ours do. The question now being settled Is, shall the low waist line. featured in recent French fash ions for children, dominate our de- cisions as well?
 Of course 1t will. We follow where Paris leads, even to sashes that al most tumble off wee skirts, so low are they set.
 At present we are trying to com promise in young peoples clothes from to 10. Some go on making the straight line, with flare, of course, and some only hint at the low dividing line between waist and skirt by setting trimming there. But it won't do. That is, We must come to Paris way eventually. At least we usually do that little thing.
 Style makers are already in con ference over the model point of the coat waist line for fall. Early models. even tiny ones. are given to showing something of the belt. BE ger ones have tiers and the circular movement, so called.
 We shall hate to give up the straight line, hanging unbelted from the shoulder and suiting thin little tads as well as chubby ones. But they have worn the kilted things before' and we have fancied them as well. How about the little girl of embon. point right above the waist line Who will be her friend? Have q heart, style makers!
 Fussiness and frilliness are things of the past with children's clothes. We are going in strongly for pracu- cality, becomingness. and ultra sim plicity. Mothers are getting wiser about children and not turning the m into walking art galleries for the benefit of onlookers, but are consid- ering the child's own pleasure and comfort and, in addition, training the children In the best art of dressing that of looking appropriate to the occasion. It Is keeping the child looking like an arrangement for a portrait rather than studying good taste in dressing her that tends to

DO YOU TALK ABOUT YOU LOVE AFFAIRS?

When you meet a nice young man what do you dor Do you go around telling all your girl friends how much he was impressed with you or vice versa, or dc you just keep quiet and see how things work out?
 If you choose the latter method you arc wise.
 If you bore your friends with ,e- tails of what Inc said" and q said,% you arc putting a damper on your chances with Cupid.
 | Everybody dreads to sec the girl coming who talks about Ted Jones" or Bill Smith" sixty seconds every minute and sixty minutes every hour. They don't care whether he wears the latest style collar. knick- CTS and sport stockings. or whether he has adorable freckles and runs nifty roadster. They don't care whether he dances divinely and takes you to all the best shows in town. or whether he makes love better in the moonlight than on the beach at sunset.
 Your words arc wasted on tho desert air and with them all your own deep-dyed respect for Ted or Bill. Tell others about your love affairs and you seem to open the door I Refuse to talk about the young man you meet and everything runs along as smoothly as new motor car on an oiled road.
 And after all there's a pyscholo- gical point here.
 The moment you tell Susie and Bessie and Marion about "hiI-. yon find yourself painting an ideal hero. You really make him out a much better man than he Is. You tell them he is far handsomer than you know him to be. you tell them he Is a far better dresser than he really is and you mako him out @ financial wizard though you may know his weekly pay envelope is barely as large as your own.
 Therefore right In tho beginning you put damper on love. | When you arc with him you are sorry that hc does not compare with the ideal hero you talked about. In- stead of appreciatinE him for his real qualities you are wondering If he will ever sum up to the colossal characteristics you gave him when describing him to your friends.
 Talk him over with mother. your older sister or big brother but do not toss him about at the mercy of your own set of girls. Many times. just to be witty or create an air of ex- perienoe, these girls will mako res marks about Ted or B4u which change your view toward him. He has feet like Charlie Chaplin" or ''he thinks he's a regular lady kill. Ter" will cause a change of heart with many a girl If she had 1nly kept still and not talked 50 much about her new friend these girls would have been silent, but after that-well, Ted or Bill never looks quite the same again.
 The girl who cares deeply about man never talks about him when with her girl friends. She wishes to keep her friendship as something too sacred to air before the public continually. Until her engagement Is announced she rarely tries to give the impression that she cares seri- ously about him at all. But the girl who is flighty, flirtatious and easily impressed is always the one who talks about her men friends as pos- sible husbands and goes into detail about what The said" and where "he took me"
