My NeighborS Says

Shin of beef makes good beef a la mode. Gut it up the same as for a stew, brown the pieces in hot fat, then add water; cook in pot same as for pot roast and serve with gravy. By browning the meat it retains its juices and this adds greatly to the flavor of the dish.
 Chops can be baked in the oven on ironing day when it is desired to keep the top of the stove clean.
 When lettuce is being prepared for the table it is always advisable to break off a little of the midrib as that is likely to be bitter.
 Tulle hats that are apparently hopelessly crushed and shabby may be made to appear almost as good as new by steaming over boiling water. Hold the hat as close to the steam as possible without letting the tulle become wet. Then hold a light towel around the hat for few minutes, after which expose it to the air, and it will soon dry and look fresh and crisp.
 Silver will be as bright as new if it is covered with sour milk, allowed to stand for half an hour and then Waahed and rinSed.

"It is far more decent and mod est for girl to come right out flat footed and let man know that her intentions are honorable, and mean marriage, than for her to try to snare him in the dark, with out his knowing that he is being lured into captivity.
 Goodness knows that if there is one thing that a woman should be permitted to pick out, it is the man whom she has got to spend the next, twenty, or thirty, or forty years, during which time she is go- ing to get mighty weary if she has not got something that fires her fancy and comes up to her ideal. For women are mighty choosey, and husbands are just as much a matter of taste as onions.

was to sit on the anxious seat and wait for the man to happen to notice her and lay little traps for capturing him. Sometimes the man noticed her, and sometimes the traps worked, and some- times they failed. Anyhow, the girl had the degraded feeling of remnant on the bargain counter that anybody could take home with him if the right one didn't want it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-03

Well. what if they do?" respond ed her friend. Good thing, I say. If there is any one thing that woman has got right to do, it is the right to pick out her husband and the father of her children, and to my mind there is no other such idiotic convention as the one that has prevented her from doing this freely and openly and as a matter of course.
 Bernard Shaw says that women al- ways have been the pursuers, and that no man would marry if some women didn't drag him to the altar. This is true, to certain degree. But women have always had to conduct their love campaigns under cover, and get in their work by stealth and subterfuge and this has cramped their style.
 "A woman couldn't go frankly up to man and tell him that he looked good to her, and that she was an Al cook and a nickel nurser, and that if he would marry her she would make him happy and comfortable home and be a real helpmeet to him.
 Nor could a rich girl say to a poor man: I love you. You are the sort of two-fisted, hustling man I admire, and I would just love to give you the money that would give you good start in bus mess and save you years of. anxious struggle

"No woman knows why one especial man is the one man she desires out of the whole ruck of humanity any more than she knows why she picks out one particular hat out of a whole millinery store. She just simply knows that she would pawn her soul to get the one, and that she'd loathe the other as long as she lived if she had to take it as a makeshift.

"If either the man or the woman has to be suited in a marriage, it is much better for both parties for the woman to be. For one thing, every wife is ten times as much married as her husband is. He has thousand other interests and diversions outside of his home, and if his wife isn't all his fondest fancy painted he can absorb himself

Miss fucker Is Honored With
 Lovely ca

Miss Dorothea Tucker of Nashville, Tenn, who arrived Monday to be the guest of Mrs. Alfred McCarty, was the inspiration for one of the prettiest parties of the summer when Mrs. Me Carty and Mrs. Tom Mayberry enter tained jointly yesterday afternoon at an afternoon of bridge followed by tea at the residence of. Mrs. R. G. Mo Carty at Hanover Circle.
 For the occasion summer flowers in brilliant hues were used effectively throughout the reception rooms.
 ! Assisting the hostesses in receiving were Mrs. Lewis Ford, Mrs. Alan Dren- nen, Miss Katherine Redd and Miss Katherine Massey, who served punch. A number of the friends of these two charming matrons were invited for a number of games of bridge and later about forty guests called for tea after the bridge games.

in other interests and find plenty of other companionship.

 "But woman is tied to her home and her family, and unless she can find her happiness in 1t, God help the house hold and God pity her. Unless wo. man loves her husband and feels that he is worth working for and sacrificing for, she finds neither pleasure nor profit in life.
 Moreover, a happy and a con- tented wife is good wife. The woman who has got the man she wants strives with might and main to please her husband and serve his interests. It is the women who have had to take the men they could get, instead of the men they desired, who are the disgrunt- tied, discontented wives who don't care whether tlfeir husbands like what they do or not. It makes lot of difference whether woman's married her opportunities or he, preference.
 "Women are wiser in matters of the heart than men are, anyway, and there would not be so many foolish mar. riages made if women could be the pickers instead of the pickees. Many well-educated, intelligent woman knows that she would make lieee com panion of whom some intellectual man would never tire. Many middle-aged woman, who is filled with the maternal instinct, knows that she could make some widower with houseful of chil dren supremely happy. But the men. taken by the pretty faces of silly young flappers, marry beautiful morons and girls young enough to be their daughr ters, and live miserably ever after.
 There is no other one thing on earth that would do, as much to promote domestic happiness as for women to choose their husbands, and so 1 say all honor to the mod ern girl who is a matrimonial go- gatter. Here's wishing her luck"

well and the engines are in perfect
condition"
Shortly after 1 p. m. today the
above message swas relayed to the
United Press from the Zeppelin ZR-3
by the Radio Corporation of Amer
icas ltion at Chatham, Mass.
The report. the first direct one re-
ceived from the oncoming dirigible
this afternoon, indicates DR.. Eek
ener has abandoned the flight by
way of Bermuda and is strealxing
for the northern coast to avoid
storms.
The ZR-3 reported to the Radio
Corporation of Americas station at
Chatham, Mass, that it had reached
the position 47.20 w, 1870 N.
The Zeppelin is now expected at
Lakehurst, N j.. between 6 a. m.
and II a. M. Wednesday, in view
of the fact it is now heading north
ward for Newfoundland, whence it
will swing down the coast to New
Jersey.
Navy officials early today received
two messages from Captain Steele
Of Marion Ind. American observer
abroad. via the Boston Navy yard.
Storms were brewing in the
dirigible's path and a local tornado
was reported by the N. S. Navy
weather service at 8 a. m.
American warships were scurry-
ing to positions whence they best
could aid the ZR-3 with reports of
weather conditions, which now are
the only cause of concern.
The United States Army transport
Henderson and the cruiser Milwau-
kee were two which spoke" to the
Zeppelin after the North German
Lloyd liner Stuttgart reported the
airship's position.
Throughout the night and early
morning, the ZR-3's wireless kept up
steady stream of reports-some-
times spluttering vainly for connec-
tions with land stations, sometimes
ripping out a series of VS., the wire

all crossings.
