Meditations of
a Wife
BY Helen Rowland
Young Man Afraid of
Women.

Young Man Afraid of
Women.
Ny daughter, be not deceived by
false signs; for men are full Of words,
and their words are full of boasting.
But, in his heart, every man
dwellcth all his days in the fear of
women!
The small boy trembieth lest a
woman may kiss him-and the callow
youth trcmbleth lest a woman may
expect him to kiss HER.
The bachelor feareth that every
damsel may seek to entice him into
matrimony-and the married man
Suspecteth that every woman may
cntice him OUT Of it.
Every man fleeth in alright from
a clever woman, lest she bait him
and fleeth in alarm from a stupid
woman, lest she bore him.
One moment he is filled with APP
prchension lest n woman may take
him seriously-and the next, he is
filled with perturbation lest she take
him as a JOKE.
He is afraid to make love to a
damSel in the bcginning-and afraid
to STOP making love to her in the
end.
He feareth that one woman will
fall in love with him-and is cast
down lest another woman may not
return his love.
He is filled with dread that one
woman may sec through him-and
filled with anxiety lest another wo-
man may not understand" him.
Intelligence and wit in the mouth
of woman Albright him as the
matches in the hand Of a babe; but
innocence and frankness in her eyes
appall his spirit and paralyze his
tongue.
All the days of his bachelorhood.
he dwelleth in the fear of many wo-
mcn-and all the days of his married
life he dwelleth in the fear of ONE
woman.
He fearcth that one woman will
seek to rule him-and that another
will seek to cling to him.
That one woman will try to re-
form him-and that another will try
to mother" him.
4
That one woman will fool him
and that another will GET him,
And, there is no peace, and no
faith, and no security IN him!

Cold Roast Beef
Candied Sweet, Potatoes
Tomatoes Tabd Okra
Celery and Apple Salad
Sweet Cider Pie

A large family has no difficulty
in consuming n IL or 14-pound roast
Of beef in one or two meals, but for
the two or three-person family it pre-
sents a real problem. Yet roast beef
is not at its best if small piece OF
meat is purchased. 1t is n wise plan
to offer cold roget beef on the day
after the whole roast made its first
appearance then defer serving it
again until later in the week.
A group of university students in
a home economies course was once
given the problem of serving four
foods-beef, potatoes, cabbage and ap-
pies, in II consecutive dinners with
out ever serving any of them twice in
the same way. " sounds like a ire
mendous task; but it really did not
prove so very difficult. Here are
half n dozen different ways in which
roast beef reappcarcd: Cold, reheated
in gravy, hash, souffle, cottage pie,
crOquCttcs.
1t is probable that the unfamiliar
dish in Mondays menu is the sweet
cider pie.
For sweet cider pie, three-fourths
cup sugar is mixed with one-half tea
spoon cinnamon, six tablespoons corn
starch and onc-hnif teaspoon salt.
These are sifted into the upper part
of double boiler and two cups sweet
cider are added. This mixture is cook
cd over hot water, stirring occasional
ly, until it is thick-about Is min
utes. 1t is then cooled and turned
into a baked pastry shell. Then it is
covered with meringue made by
beating the whites of two eggs until
they are frothy, adding one-fourth
teaspoon baking powder and four
tablespoons sugar and continuing beat
ing until stiff. Then it is put into a
moderate oven 1925 dcgrees) to brown.

Every where we went in Bombay
in India We heard of the Parsees. He
is a Parsec," one man would say, and
another, That is controlled by the
Parsees."
Foxy Grandpa" asked Bobby in
dismay, what are these ParseeS we
hear so much about? Are they school
teachers that teach children grammar
and parsing? What are they"
l had to laugh myself when /
thought how much the Parsecs were
discussed. Then L told Bobby about
them.
Thousands Of years ago in Persia,
Bobby" / commenced, there was a
man by the name OF Zoroaster, who
taught a religion and wrote a book
with all his teachings in it and the
people of Persia worShipped him and
lived up to his teachings many years
after his death"
What did he teach, Foxy Grand
pa?" asked Bobby in his usual way of
going straight to the point.
''Hc taught that there was a good
god called Ormuzd, who protected and
guided human things and that there
was Il bad spirit called Ahriman, who
was cruel and evil.
Zoroaster taught that Ormuzd. the
good created men and angels and the
sun and moon and stars, while Ahri-
man created wild beasts, poisonous ser
penis and sent diseases and storms
and earthquakes and Hll manner of
Thugs to make people unhappy"
"Um," said Bobby. "They didn't
worship this bad god, did they?"
"0h. no." i explained. ''They only
worshipped the good Ormuzd and be-
lieved that the sun and fire were his
emblems.
"Zoroaster lived in Persia" unused
Bobby, "and yet these Parsees way off
here in India still believe in his teach
ings.
But the Parsees didn't always live
here" l continued.
When the Arabs conquered Persia
in the seventh century they drove out
all who would not believe in Moham-
med. So these ParseeS, whom we sec
and hear about here, are a very intel
ligent and clever group of people who
are the descendants of those Persians
who fled from Persia and brought the
sacred fire of ZorOaSter with them
They say that the fires on the affairs
of IOroaster have never been extin'
guished but were lit from the sacred

The Wilcox family are absolutely
furious. GRANDMA EDGAR Is
MAKING A MONKEY OF THEM
1 have it on the word of Constance
Wilcox, the seventeen-year-old grand
child of the flock.
Grandma Edgar is fifty-sik. She
married when she was eighteen, her
first baby came when she was nine
teen, then she kept on having them
until she was thirty-two and was a
grandmother at thiIty-nine. For all
those years she worked on the farm
and skimped in the city. By rights
she should be withered and bent,
wrinkled and hopeless. Actually she's
nothing of the sort. Which fact her
daughter Alice, mother of young Con
stance is realizing with wrath and
dismay.
Alice hadn't seen her mother for
ten years. The last time Alice was
home Ma was fussing around thu
house in a faded Bingham dvess and
sloppy old shoes. Her hair was strain
ed back into a stingy knob, her skin
was rough and neglected. When she
did dress up to go out she wore a
black alpaca that might have been
handed down from Mrs. Noah. No,
she wasn't unhappy or abused OF
anything like that. She was simply
the typical. Woodworking, middle-aged
mother of the year 1915. Which diff
fercd hardly a whit from the domestic
model that has been popular in thu
preceding 5000 or 100000 years.
Ten years passed and Alice's hus.
band prospered in business. Alice
wrote. asking mother TO come anC
visit her and enclosed a ticket. ThcT
she went downtown and bought n Law
ender corduroy dressing robe for PoCl
Old Mother to wear in her room
some fur-edged felt slippers to put or
her doubtless rheumatic feet, and q
bottle of smelling salts. She also
cautioned the children not to b.
noisy and racked her brain for a lis
of sufficiently decrepit females who
would make Grandma's stay pleas

Then Grandma came.
GRANDMA CAME!
Ten years had also passed ovCI

Of course, it is a bit ridiculous for
