One-Tmck Girls.

Don't think a one track girl is just
| a plain dumbbell.
There are a lot of women with good
brains who fail in the class of the
one-trackers - women who have
| studied for years, and know their
stuff.
a one-track girl may have "a lot of
! gray matter, but she uses 1t the
wrong way.
She uses it all up on one subject
one hobby-one branch of art.
Virginia, for instance. loves books
is simply mad about them. She
| knows all about them, too. You can't
name an author of whom she knows
nothing.
She talks about them well. She
amuses people with her comments
and criticisms.
Book lovers rave about Virginia.
They find her charming and intelli-
gent.
Musicians. on the other hand, can't
stand her She doesn't know IL thing
about their particular hobby, and she
| makes no effort to learn.
Instead, she endeavors to steer the
conversational no matter what
company she finds herself-back into
the channels with which she is most
familiar.
She is lost at sea, thoroughly mis-
cradle on any subject but that of her
beloved books.
And Agnes is just as bad about
dancing. She can talk her head off
about her favorite dancers, their
technique, their different methods,
etc, etc.
But, ah. What a heavy silence
falls upon her when the crowd gets
going on sports other than her
favorite.
SO it goes. Judith is wild about the
movies-she wears your ear away
going into raptures over her heroes
rehearsing their latest plays for your
benefit, listing their virtues and de-
fects.
Anne is perhaps one of the most
CHASTITY forms of human peSt-she
makes your life miserable with a de
scription of her golf games. Nothing
could be more horrible.
Not one of these danes would be
so bad if she'd keep quiet or just
murmur amiable nothings when
people We're talking on a subject with
which she was unfamiliar.
But the awful trouble with the one
track girl is that she's convinced
everybody would rather hear about
her particular hobby than anything
III tne world.
She can't rest until she's acquaint-
ed her friends with all latest infor1na-
ton on the topic of chief interest to
her. And once she's started il would
take public riot to stop her.
Yes. EirSinia's n good kid when
she's off books" Mary tells her hus-
band.
And he agrees that Virginia may
have her good points. But. gosh.
she is too much when she gets going"
he asserts gloomily. Just as soon
we didn't have her on the party Fri
day. I'd rather not so if | have to
sit next to her
So the Marys and their husbands
drop the one-trackerS gradually. just
because they don't want to be bored
all evening.
Darn nice, intelligent girls-drop-
ped because they've lost their sense
of perspective. And with just a little
more versatility they'd be sought
after by every one.
Don't concentrate your interest and
gray matter all along one line.
Scatter them among many inter
ests and occupations and make YOUR
self interesting.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper provided stamped

one strong recommendation for this
pie is that it is adaptable to whatever
you may happen to have at the time.
All sorts of vegetables can be included,
SO that the flavor varies and there is
an element of interest in the novelty
that this affords. Potatoes are gen
orally used, but this does not mean
that they are absolutely essential.
Onion or a bit of garlic always adds
zest. Root vegetables can be com
bined with succulent and other top
vegetables in varying proportions.
Celery gives good flavor which is
rather missed If omitted. This is also
true of the onion. Leftover peas,
string or pole beans. lima beans, beets.
carrots. turnips. etc, are excellent.
1t Is important to have the ingredients
blend, so that one does not impair the
flavor of others. Another hint may
prove helpful. Avoid vegetables that
lose their form or separate when
cooked. For instance, squash, pump
kin and spinach, when cooked long,
will become watery and separate, Civ
ing color and taste withut substance
to vegetable pie.
Making the Crust
The crust may be of plain pastry. of
baking powder biscuit dough, mixed
with sufficient liquid to form u batter
dropped on with a spoon, or dried and
rolled if preferred. If Of the consist
ency to be dropped it will spread with
the heat and entirely cover the top of
the vegetables in the dish during the
baking. Put the spoonfuls rather close
together Mashed potato with dots of
butter on top helps the browning. or
plain rice THAT may be left over) can
be substituted for the pastry crust.
These pies must be carefully seasoned.
A dash Of chilli sauce or some condi.
ment may be liked in them.

PROGRESS MADE BY
UNION

New York. - In addressing the
twenty fifth convention of the United
Textile Workers of America, Vice
President Duncan, Of the A. F. of L.,
called attention to conditions in this
industry quarter Of century ago
At that time he presided at a meet
ing that resulted in the unity of dual
textile organizations. The delegates
gave the trade union veteran a rous-
ing reception when he was introduced
by President Mcmahon.
The latter said that when the pres
ent union was launched, the textile in
dustry was on 60-hour basis. "There
has been an outstanding gain in
shorter hours, better sanitary condi-
tions and safety devices, as well as
higher wages" he said.

James H. Maurer, president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation Of
Labor. "The new movement" the
trade unionist said, "is being cloaked
with company unions, and other
forms of paternalism. The workers
pay for these things in lower wages
or by speeding up"
The hosiery workers gained 5000
members the past year. The roots of
organization have been planted in
every unorganized district, including
Canada, Reading, the south and the
middle west. Officers reported that
organization is the most important
problem facing these workers.
