Her Lonely Evenings
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am %, and have q baby
three months old. should
like to go out sometimes in
the evening, but there is no
one to stay with the baby ex-
cept my husband, who hasn't
offered to do it. So mostly
stay alone. !, What do. you
think Of this?
YOUNG MOTHER.
I wish you had consulted me
earlier, my dear. before your
husband had begun to form
such inconsiderate habits. Be
gin now to show him. always in
sweet, friendly way, that part
Of his responsibility toward you
is to see that you don't suffer
loneliness and boredom. Since
there is no one else to stay
with the baby. why couldn't
you both stay at home together
half the time, which would be
no great hardship. On the
other evenings, could you not
take turns in going out? Many
otherwise excellent husbands
develop this sort of selfishness.
You must see that yours does
not.

AXES TO GRIND

In all this world its hard to find a
man who has no ak to grind. A man
beholds my garden fair, and all the
roses blooming there, the cockleburs so
tall and bright, and dandelions left
and right; into an ecstasy he goes, en-
thusiastic fits he throws. Now here, +"
I mutter, els a gent who Is by love of
beauty sent to gaze in rapture on the
things which might be praised by
queens and Kings. No Sordid motives
can inspire this man who comes here
to admire" A while he views the Won
drouS scene, then says: You're using
paris green to kill the worms and other
pests, and STAY the microbes in their
nests. But paris green's all out of date,
not worth dime hundredweight. I
represent Prof. Snide, who makes the
new insecticide; a man of large and
lofty dome, he studied bugs in Greece
and Rome; the scientists Of every cline
consider him a man sublime. One box
OF his inSecticide you use, and all the
bugs have died, and you will have a
garden then that will delight all pass
ing men," bid him skip, bid him
fade, and roundly smite him with a
spade, and chase him seven blocks or
six, and pelt him with lot of bricks.
For 1t is grievous thus to find a caller
has an ak to grind. I'm so obsessed I
look for guile in every man who wears
smile. used to think the smiling
man was built upon a goodly plan;
thought he loved his fellow jays, the
human race and all its ways, the milk
OF kindness filled his form, his heart
was large and good and warm. But
now I think some gratis designed; I
say, He has an ak to grind"

By J. r. GLASS.

To man so gallant and chivalrous as
Commodore John Paul Jones nothing
could have been more humiliating than
the story which he read in American
papers.
This story related that after Jones' in
the Bonhomme Richard, had conquered
Capt. Richard Pearson, in the Scraps,
Pearson was court-martialed, but ac-
quilted, following which King George
III knighted him for his bravery in de-
Tending his ship. It added that when
Jones heard of the honor shown his late
adversary he remarked: IF ever catch
him at sea again will make a lord of
him.
Commodore Jones Redeemed with en-
barrassment when this morsel came to
his attention. He heatedly denied it.
However, 1t lived to humiliate him. A
few years later, when he went to Eng
land, it arose like a Specter to i'm
pugn his gentility.
Among the first persons he encoun-
tered in London was Capt. Ralph Willet
Miller, a native Of New York, who had
eSpoused the cause of the King against
the colonistS. AS they had many mu-
tual acquaintance in America, Jones
found his company pleasing.
do you know" said Miller one day,
that on my last cruise TO America /
read in the papers that you had said
that If you ever caught Sir Richard
Pearson at sea again you would make
q lord of him.
"Oh," replied Jones, ct have always
denounced that tale. 1t exhibits me In
the character of buffoon. The facts
which gave rise to it are these:
"A long time after the battle of the
Bonhomme Richard and the Scraps, I
was at Versailles. One day was a guest
at luncheon of the Duchess de Chartres.

Kidney Stew.

Skin and clean six pairs Of veal kid

IN salt and water for three hours. Wipe
dry, put back in bowl, and squeeze over
them the juice of three lemons. Let
stand for two hours. Seed three green
peppers, put them in bowl with two
Spanish onions and chop fine. Put three
tablespoonfuls of olive oil in a kettle,
and when hot add the kidneys. Cover
and cook slowly for half an hour, add
pepper, salt and onions, then cook for
half an hour longer.

There was a large company present.
Before all these people, her royal high
ness informed me that his Britannia
majesty had just knighted Capt. Rich
ard Pearson for his conduct in the en-
gagement that ended in surrender to me.
81 at once said that the information
was gratifying to me, particularly as
had told Capt. Pearson upon his sur
render that he had defended himself
with credit and hoped his sovereign
would suitably reward him.
"I told the duchess, also, that as re-
wards were then going in the British
navy, knighthood was too little for Capt.
Pearson; that dukedom would not
have been extravagant.
ITO some Of the ladies this seemed
persifage. assured them of my entire
candor. Capt. Pearson, said, by his
desperate resistance had enabled his
large and valuable convoy to escape,
which would not have happened If he
had surrendered sooner
Commodore Jones assured Capt Miller
that it was this table talk which had
given rise to the spurious anecdote he
had read in America. And now Miller
delighted the American hero immeas-
urably.
LET me tell you," said he, that
Capt. Sir Richard Pearson also has seen
that story in print. But he did not
credit 1t. He said:
at do not believe that Mr.. Jones
ever made such an observation regarding
me. cannot think that any brave Of
f1cer would be capable of such a re-
mark"
Commodore Jones Strengthened as II a
load had rolled of his shoulders.
Permit me to thank you most sim
cerely, Capt. Miller" he said, "for CIV
ing me the opportunity to set this silly
story at rest"

to be slum district anywhere in Amer
lea. We are the most prosperous. peo-
pie in the world. We are enlightened,
we understand the requirements of
healthy citizenship. We have the means
and the power to use them. Why then
should any child live in an undesirable
neighborhood?
Again beg to bring this matter Of
housing to the attention of the women's
clubs of the country. Women are in
control of the housing situation. It is
women who set the standards for the
home. 1t is they who protect the home.
1t is they who set on foot every reform
for the home. Will they not undertake
this one and dwell with 1t until through
there is not a single child forced to live
in neighborhood that pulls him down
to the level Of the prison reform school.
Already this reform is on the way. A.
M. Bing of New York is fathering the
garden town. Out at Radburne, N. j.,
he and his group are building q lovely
place where every child may live in q
pleasant home surrounded by gardens,
safely protected from motor traf1c,
while on the way to school or while at
play.
In italy the city government Of Rome
has taken over the idea of building
homes for its workers. Here we find
the teachers settlement, here the news
paper mems home, here the professional
groups settlement. The children are
born in pleasant homes and endowed
with their birthright-the right to q
good start.
In England the garden villages are
well known and increasing in number.
But America began long ago when
A. T. Stewart settled Garden City and
made 1t village for workers. We know
what to do and how to do 1t. We have
great leaders already in the field. Why
are we so slow? Take the children out
Of the slums and we. viii need no re-
form schools. We win not have juve-
nile crime problem.

ment or vigorous service in benalf of

wealthy men who shun publicity and
prefer to have their benefactionS garh-

must be obvious. There are thousands
of others who attempt every subterfuge

takes all sorts of forms.

About the hardest thing for a man
to do is to ask for raise in salary. The
boss might be perfectly willing to listen
to his argument, but pride and the fear
of failure frequently deter the aspiring
fellow from entering the lions den.
One day certain chap of our &C
quaintance who had been poStponing
the ordeal finally developed sufficient
nerve to approach "the old man." The
chief was noted for his particular abil-
ity to growl. Therefore, when the self
appointed candidate for higher wages
entered he was received with a growl,
with several additional banks. This
completely unnerved the applicant, and
he began to stutter: "Go-o-o-o-d-
morning, Mr.. Blank. It's a very nice
day, don't you think? simply wished
to bid you good-morning."
With that he backed from the office
The boss looked up in amazement. He
may have known what the young chap
wanted. Otherwise he probably con-
Sidered him queer under the hat. His
employees were not given to entering his
Office merely to wish him good-morn-
ing.

Housing Children.

When there is evidence of ill health
It is better by far to look for the cause
than to try curing the patient with
ones favorite remedy. When one finds
that a great many children from one
section of the town are going wrong it
would be intelligent to search for the
cause, would it not? Instead of saying
that these children come from a bad
neighborhood and all of them ought to
be sent to the reform school and taught
trade would it not be better to clean
up the neighborhood and give the chill
dren the right kind of education in the
public school?
We have found by careful investiga-
ton that poor housing gives us poor
citizens. Poor in health, poor in intel
ligence, poor in life relationships in
whatever field they try to function.
Once the houses have been cleaned UP
and light and air, sanitary living con-
ditions secured. a bit Of beauty allowed
to have its way, the people respond and

Afternoon Dresses
BY MARIE SHALMAR,,

The phrase afternoon dress has come
to indicate just as distinct a type of
dress in q woman's wardrobe as the
evening dress, yet the fact that dress
may be worn appropriately after IL in
the daytime does not mean that it is
an afternoon dress, and there are, of
course, many times when an afternoon
dress would be most inappropriate for
afternoon wear.
One thing worth noting is that the
real afternoon dress it not worn in the
morning by the woman of good taste
in matters of dress, and since the skirt
for afternoon dresses is fairly long and
frequently of uneven hemline, the
woman of good Judgment does not wear
dress Of this type for street wear at
any time. Many of the new afternoon
