LISTEN, WORLD!
Making a Lady
By ELSIE ROBINSON

She sat down very precisely on the
edge OF the chair and apologized for
intruding. She had lace jabot at
her throat and, above it, the soft,
whitening skin was notified with pink
blotches of nervousness. The nervous
ness was filming her eyes, too-those
helpless blue eyes that made her seem
sixteen instead of forty. In spite of
her flesh and the sagging line of pro-
file, there was queer illusion Of girl
ishness about her. Like a lost child
But that was silly. A great big wom-
an like that was no child. Then she
began to talk and one " IS surer than
ever that here was a lost child.
II hardly know how to begin" she
faltered. picking at a little ruffled
bag with fluttering fingers. 81 sun
pose you'll think I'm terribly
stupid-"
Her voice was apologetic-she tried
to laugh. But behind the laugh there
stood a Fear. A bideous. naked Fear
that would not bulge. And presently
her reserve broke and she let me see
it clearly.
SHE WAS AFRAID SHE WAS
GOING TO STARVE.
Just that.
I thought she was ioking-surely it
was one Of those foolish manias that
sometimes bcset well fed, middle-aged
women. But it wasn't. 1t was the
truth and she had every reason to fear
it. She had actually eighteen dollars
between life and-that. And not
friend or relation within n thousand
miles. She had come to the city with
her husband to take up new bust
ness. They had n tiny capital-iust
enough to see them started. Then
he'd fallen ill-there had been a long
sickness. And now he was dead and
here she was.
Yes, she'd been looking for work.
She would like to work although she
had never done so outside her home.
No. she didn't "know how to do any
thing in particular. Her mother had
raised her so be just a lady" But
she hadn't thought that would matter.
Surely there must be demands for

forty. She had been quite sure that
she'd find work easily. But every
where she went they asked the same
terrible question
"WHAT EXPERIENCE HAVE
YOU HAD"
And of course she had none. How
can you start getting experience I'M
less someone gives you chance! But
no one would give her n chance. She
told them how willing she was and
how quick to pick up new things. But
it seems that such willingness didn't
amount to anything unless you had
had special training or Experience"
So here she was. still young and Wig
orous, in the midst of a rich and busy
world, yet facing starvation because
she had only been trained ito be
lady"
This picture is not Ovcrdrawn. 1t
is indeed, too mildly stated. Society
has never seen more tragic plight
than that Of the unframed older wom-
an of the present period. Fifteen
years ago there was still place for
her. She could do practical nursing,
various kinds Of clerical work, plain
sewing. and other tasks which we're
the natural extension of her own do
nestle interests. But now these fields
are all filled by experts, or by freshly
traiqfd girl graduates from business

Foxy Grandpa" said Bobby, Il
think this is a great country for chill
dren."
WHY" / asked wondering how
under the sun Bobby could have come
to that conclusion, because that part
of the Malay Peninsula, while it
wasn't exactly uncivilized, because
there were schools and churches,
wasn't exactly what we would call
highly-civilized.
Because. here declared Bobby,
parents never punish their children.
They don't have to be home at a
certain time for meals, which is often
bother when you are right in the
midst of a game of marbles or play
ing the last inning of baseball
game
COR the fish are biting" laughed.
"Yes. sir" said Bobby. "Thcy just
come in and eat when they please.
And. he hcsitated n moment. there
are no truant officers. Children go
to school when they please"
so you think this is good place
to live" / said. THAT might be all
right when you are n boy, but l am
quite sure you would be sorry you
had spent your boyhood in such a
shiftless manner when you grow up,
Bobby. Remember that is what
counts. What kind of a man you
turn ont to be-"
Il suppose So" Bobby reluctantly
agreed. but he shook his head.
During this conversation we were
sitting under palm tree in front of
the office of the engineering company
who were building a railroad through
that part of the peninsula, and near
us was a little boy running around
with n stick in his hand.
what kind of a game is that" j
asked Bobby.
Il don't know" said Bobby. I'll
try to find OFT.
Bobby was up like shot and stood
bashfully by n tree watching the boy.
Suddenly | saw his little face turn
scarlet. He was made at something.
If he had been q pussy-cat and had
tail it would have pushed out and
stood on end, because Bobby was
fighting mad.
Quickly he walked over TO me.
what is it. Bobby" l asked.
"That's the cruelest thing / ever
saw. Foxy Grandpa" said Bobby,
Indignantly.
why. my boy, what is he doing?"
ado you know what he is doing
that wicked boy? He has sticky stuff
on the end Of the stick and he is

is the worst part-he pulls off their

What work is open to the refined,
unframed woman over thirty!
Unless she is fortunate enough to
have friends who will create a situa-
ton for her, no position is open save
that of waitress, janitress, bundle
wrapper in some basement or a similar
mental task.
She may be bright. willing and in.
dustrious-but it will avail her moth
ing, unless she has definite training to
offer. For the world is too busy, too
hard pushed, TO take time to train mid.
dle-aged women to work when young
trained workers are to be had by the
thousand.
All of which cries the warning
DON'T RAISE YOUR GIRL TO BE
A LADY! Give her some definite.
serviceablc training along a marked
line. 1t is not enough to send her
through high school or even college.
The average A. Il. degree buys no jobs
in the ranks of industry. She must
be thoroughly fitted for some craft be-
fore she is safe.
And the same applies to YOU,
Friend Wife. What would happen
to YOU tomorrow il your husband
passed out of your life and the income
ceased? Are YOU fitted for anything

Lamb en- Casserole
Tomato Salad
Rebecca Pudding
Ornncn Snnnce Cake

pIdI'St CpuIlSt Ndhc
To those of us who are preparing
meals for only two or three persons,
n casserole is indeed boon. Much
rs we may enjoy starting our Sun
day dinners with a roast of beef or
lamb. it is often too expensive and
we have the problem of using up an
unwieldly quantity of leftover meat.
A casserole gives us a well-flavored
piece of meat at much smaller ex-
penditure than would be required for
roast.
For lamb en- casserole, secure one
or two slices Of lamb cut IA inches
thick from the center of leg of lamb.
Wipe them clean, put in hot frying
pan containing a small amount of
bacon fat and turn frequently until
the meat is scared and Drowned on
both sides. Brush over with melted
fat. season with salt and pepper and
bake in covered casserole 20 min
utes or until the meat is tender.
In the meanwhile parboil 3-4 cup
carrots, cut in small strips, for 10
minutes; drain and brown in one
tablespoon bacon fat to which has been
added one tablespoon finely chopped
onion. Add TO lamb with one cup
diced potatoes or potato balls, two
cups boiling water, one tablespoon
tarragon vinegar and salt and pepper.
Cook until potatoes are soft; then
add II small onions cooked until
soft, then drain and brown in two
tablespoons butter to which was add
cd one tablespoon sugar.
At first reading. these directions
may sound somewhat complicated !;
but the whole process will not require
more than an hours time and when
the casserole dish is ready the whole
meal is prepared.
Since the dinner discussed today
is planned for a small family, / will
give cake recipe in small proper
| tions. My preference is always to
make Just enough cake for one day
or one meal; second day cake has
lost much of its charm.
Most of us are accustomed to max
ing cakes which contain butter or
some other form of shortening, but
are a bit leery about sponge or angel
food cake. l can promise that if
YOU follow the extremely simple di-
rections given here-particularly the
directions about baking-you will
have a deliciously light cake with a
minimum of labor.
ORANGE SPONGE CAKE
| Two eggs.
One-fourth cup orange juice.
One tablespoon lemon juice.
| Three-fourths cup sugar.

Household Hints

When marking linen take a rather
blunt lead pencil. write the name or
initials, and follow over the pencil
mark with ink. The lead prevents
the ink from running.
After removing marks from fabric
with ammonia you may find that the
color has suffered. Apply a little
weak vinegar and water; this often
serves to bring back the original color.
Tar stains can be removed by rub
bling gently with benzine. When the
darker stain has disappeared rub
harder with a clean pad until all is
removed.

Sometimes, the modern girl insists

Some Pointers
on Manners
BY Mrs. Beeckman
Always in Fashion.
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:


A friend and / have had heated
debate.
She told me n girl whom she dincd
with embarrassed her by this remark
to the waitress: will you please
bring me a glass of water:" My
friend claims it is not etiquette to say
please" to a waitress or servant. /
replied that it is etiquette to be po
lite and courteous at all times. This
girl said some one who mingled in a
very high element told her otherwise
and she was very indignant about it.
I am positive she is wrong. On The
other hand, may be wrong.
l just can't wait to show your al
swer to my friend. R.P.
| am proud Of you that you are n
member Of my PLEASE" and Thank
YOU league. Since you are a reader
of my column, you know how many
times | urge the use of these courtesy
twins. They add so much charm and
geTtleness to the everyday world that
it seems incredibly foolish that some
people can be so narrow minded and
absurd as not to use them. They are
free and should be freely given-at
any time to any person, for any cour.
tesy. no matter how small or seem
ingly unimportant.
Any well-bred person always says
please" when making a request to n
waitress or any other person who is
in any way serving him or her. Your
friend or her friend of the thigh ele
ment" evidently have not Travelled
much, either in this country among
well bred, kind people or abroad
among people Of any class. The world
over, lady or gentleman says
Please when requesting a service, no
matter how small, and Thank you"
when that service is given. Your
friend should have been embarrassed

Don't Worry about Gray Hair
This Clean, C0sOsless Liquid will
Restore fine Criminal Shade

Thousands of people have quickly
banished grayness and have re-
stored the original shade to their
hair with the remarkable prepare
ton known as Kolor- Bak.
Physicians and scientists know
that gray hair is hair that has ceased
to receive it's normal supply of
coloring matter or pigment from
certain tiny cells in the scalp be-
cause these cells have become in
active. No matter what the cause,
it is amazing to see how the gray
ness disappears when Kolor-Bak is
used. 1t is the best known substi-
tute for the natural augmentation
1t also banishes dandruff and stops
itching of the scalp and falling
hair. If you are gray, Kolor-Bak
is all you need to make your hair
