The Rhyming
Optimist
In Storm.
BY Aline Michaelis

The clouds hang low, the wind is
keen and in a yellow glare the sup
plant trees, wind-tossed, are seen by
lightning's fitful flare. Unrest and
strife walk down the world, the waves
rise mountain-high, and flags of temp
est are unfurled across the sombre sky.
And yet go upon my way, undaunt-
ed, undismayed, secure as though the
sunlight lay on paths where summer
strayed. Because the care that guards
my way will never fail or cease, as
close by night as in the day, I'M
changed in storm or peace. The raw
ings Of the tempest fall UNDECIDED on
my ears; in vain the Furies shrek and
call; for me, no doubts or fears: for
me, no timorous retreat. no panic or
alarm; the lamp that lights my climb
ing feet shines on, through calm or
storm,

POINTERS ON ETIQUETTE
The Birthday Card.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
l was introduced to n young man
at a summer resort and during the
evening he paid me quite bit of at
tention and called on me again the
following day. During the course of
our conversation he mentioned that his
birthday was to occur in about a
week. Consequently, l sent him n
card for this occasion but have never
heard from his since. Was this too
bold for such short acquaintance, for
l. have never again heard from the
young man? l.. OC.
No. you need not be worried that
you did an improper think. l think
that it was most friendly of you to
remember his birthday. And no one
could be offended" by having a birth
day card sent to him. A birthday card
is such a slight gesture, and such a
friendly gesture, that it could not, i
think, be misintcrpretcd. Was the
message on it or that you wrote on it
open to misintcrpretation? II not,
then you need not worry. Either the
new young friend has been too busy
for social doings or you will hear
from him soon again.
By the way, a gentleman is intro
duced to a lady. Notice your first
sentence. 1t should read, "A young
man was introduced to me-"

LISTEN, WORLD!
By ELSIE ROBINSON
Poor Kids!

Ma Meyer is so worried over lit
tie Clara. All last year that child
had trouble at school. Just couldn't
seem to get along with her teacher.
Strange-she'd always been man
ageable child at home. But every
day at school there was a squabble.
Lots of other mothers were COM
planning about Miss Jones, too. But
il was hard to put your finger on
the trouble. Tho principal said she
was good teachcr-knew her work
well, her classes always stood high.
You couldn't deny that. Even Clara
seemed to learn a lot more with her
than she had with most Of her teach
ers. But all the same, there was
trouble all the time.
And now Ma Meyers worrying
about what will happen this year
with the new teacher. Is Clara 60
ing to get into more fuses? Is she
maybe going to turn into one of these
young outlaws that everyone is talk
ing about? Or was it really Miss
Jones's fault?
There's a book which might help
Ma Meyers solve the riddle. 1t is
YOUTH IN CONFLICT" by DR..
Miriam Van Waters. DR.. Van Wa
tcrs knows lot about little school
girls who can't get along with their
teachers. She should. for she is Ref
cree of the Juvenile Court in Los An
gcles. She also knows lot about
school teachers who don't get along
with little girls. Nearly always such
women aren't getting along with
themselves. with lifc-says DIR. Van
Waters. And they take it out on
the youngsters"
The teacher herself should have
made adequate adjustment to life,
should not look to children to supply
her with opportunities for outlet to
anger, fear. wish to dominate, or to
be dominated. She should not use
affections of children to crafty her
need of love and approval; her own
adult human relationships should be
established satisfactorily"
Think over the school teachers you
have known. Some of them you'll al
ways remember with grateful dcvo-
ton. But how many were of the
disappointed old maid type? One
does not necessarily need to be dis
appointed because one is an old maid.
There are countless interests in the
world which might take the place Of
one peevish husband. But there are
many women who fail to fill their
lives with either interests or husbands.
Such women are the banc of the
school room. Restless, dissatisfied,
mortified themselves, they spread their
pecvishness throughout the room.
Those who are frankly bad temper
ed are the least dangerous of this
class. The sticky sweet variety do

infinitely more harm. They wind
themselves around the children like
lady octopu, imposing their prejudiccs
and opinions, smothering the person
atty of the children. Those they
cannot smother they drive into open
revolt.
This is what has happened TO little
Clara Meyer. Although Clara is quite
capable OF raising Cain on her own
account, she is easily managed by any
sensible person. But Miss Jones is
an aging woman, lonely and unhap.
by, who finds her only emotional
outlet in the school room. She has
many favorites,' particularly amongst
the boys. But independent little
Clara antagonized her early in the
term and they clashed steadily there
after. Since Miss Jones can't en-
bark on matrimony, she'd better take
up golf or politics or even have her
face lifted and her eyebrows plucked.
Anything that will give her chance
to blow off steam outside the school
room will prove of great benefit to
herself and the commonwealth.
And now, having fortified the
mothers with an article to show
teacher. / shall proceed TO spike their
guns by the statement that teacher
isn't the only one who needs an emo
tional outlet OUTSIDE the school
room.
MAMA is QUITE AS APT TO
TAKE 1T OUT ON THE KIDS
AS TEACHER.
Mothers are as greatly in need OF
adequate adjustment to life" as edu-
Gators. Mothers 'are even more dang.
crously prone to use the affections OF
children to crafty their need of love
and approval or as ''outlets for an
ger, fear, the wish to dominate or be
dominated"
There is a highly esteemed slogan
which runs thusly: Il HAVEN'T A
THOUGHT IN THE WORLD OUT
SIDE MY CHILDREN"
Ladies uttering this statement in a
melting tone are nearly always re-
warded with gilt medals and fire
works. But. as matter of fact
THE MOTHER WHO SAYS SHE
HASN'T A THOUGHT IN THE
WORLD OUTSIDE HER chill,
DREN OUGHT TO BE FIRED
FROM HER JOB.
For the sake of the children them
selves she ought to have a lot OF
thoughts outside her family-varict
interests, vital contacts, all of which
broaden her horizon and give her
an emotional outlet. The mother who
lacks such outlet is a bad mother
and a worthless citizen. She an6
the peevish. neurotic school teacher
combine to keep humanity in the dark
ages.

The two most frequent causes of this
bad cooking arc overlooking and cook
ing in too large a quantity of water.
Here is a collection of hints on
cooking vegetables which have gath
cred from various sources:
When vegetables are not fresh they
should be soaked in very cold water to
restore their crispness and firmncsS.
This does not mean that it is wise to
allow them to stand all day in water :
that is a poor plan. Half an hour is

OF course, all vegetables should l.e

COOKING VEGETABLES.
With the exception Of dried beans
and dried peas, vegetables should be
cooked in boiling sailed water-Just

of salt to quart of water. This

The underground vegetables (pota-

1. Was the turquoise first found
in Turkey?
2. Do wells ever run over?
Answers to these questions may be
found.
1. No. The turquoise was not
first found in Turkey, but took its
name from that country because it
was through Turkey that these stones
were first introduced into western
Europe from the provinces of Persia.
.. Yes. Wells do sometimes run

For the Groom to Wear.

What sort of shirt, collar and tie
is proper for the groom and for the
best man to wear with a business
suit? 1t is an afternoon wedding,
but dress clothes are not desired as,
frankly, there would be no further use
for them. A. NJ. B.
When a man wears business suit
ut a wedding, he should plan to wear
the accessories that are most appro-
pirate for a business suit. He should
not try to adapt the accessories that
are usually associated with some other
kind of suit. That is q safe rule to
begin with. Therefore the shirt should
be white or light-colorcd, or white
with very light stripe. The collar
