Bringing Up Father.

Father" in the American family is
supposed to be the one who puts his
foot down on all disbursements. He
must be educated 10 spend by his wife
and the younger element, his children.
If he spends freely he is up-to-date.
II he balks on what seem to him to be
extravagances he Is behind the times.
Bringing up father" is q great Ameri-
can pastinae.
why does father come in for all Of
the abuse and criticism. First OF all.
he Is the breadwinner, and he knows
the value Of his coin as none other
does. To him the extravaganza, figured
by others In dollars, means SO much
work to get q contract, hard weeks
"on the road" or other matter-of-fac
equivalents.
Then father has the future Of his
wife and himself to provide for. The
young ones will go out and provide
for their own needs. He can't trust
himself to depend on them or any one
else. The small amount" and little
money" that the family may plead for
to obtain pleasure or luxury may be
just the amount needed 10 provide for
that 1one-too-distaf1t future
Father was brought up in times when
q dollar had twice the purchasing power
it has today. Perhaps he was raised
In day when Its power exceeded even
that. The present generation may
therefore talk twice IS lightly about
spending that dollar than father would.

in and helped and it would surprise
you how ingenious children can be.
Tomrny's good carpenter, he knows a
lot about electricity and now he does
most of our plumbing He's learned
nearly all Of it by just working things
out and it's built him up"
We will not all want to install an

from which we all might learn a les

definite plans. and even to suggest
those pans, may be the answer to an
otherwise empty Summer.

Fashions of Today
Long Glove in Favor.
BY MARIE sHALMAR.

what about gloves for evening
wear this Summer" asks a reader in
presenting an interesting query. II am
planning to spend few weeks at a
smart hotel where guests dress for
dinner and expect to attend a number
OF house parties. Will gloves be worn
at dances2 And If so, what sort should
I wear?"
1t Is hard to predict because no one
knows precisely what will be the dis
position of well dressed women about
evening gloves during the warmer
months. At many important dances
recently women have worn gloves but
have taken them of, so that toward
the middle of the evening almost no
one was wearing them. Still, evening
gloves are undoubtedly smart, and it Is
q good plan to have them safe plan,
too, because whatever women do about
gloves this Summer they will surely be
worn again with enthusiasm next Au-
tunnn and Winter.
come nearly to the elbow or to extend
well over the bend Of the elbow. White
or very light pastel gloves are the best
choice. Long lace fnittS, in white or
black or ecru, are sold at most of the
smart stores and have been worn
enough for evening to make them an
accepted fashion Of the season. In
France women are wearing very sheer
silk flshnet gloves for evening, and we
hope to see them in this country be-
fore long. One of their attractions is
that they show rings, bracelets and
cleaning hngernails quite distinctly.

Father must feed, clothe and shelter

Few have achieved d suficient indif1er-

Fathers have slways been behind the

always had reason to be grateful for
it. Children will continue etefnally to
try to bring up fathers whose good

It was good hour after the passing
Of the airplane before any Of the in
habitants of Prairie-dog Town ventured
out of their homes again. Then two
or three of the most venturesone poked
their heads out of their doorways,
looked this way and that way, but
mostly up in the sky, and seeing moth
ing of that strange and terrible bird
that had given them such . fright,
came wholly out and sat up on their
doorsteps Then they began TO call
back and forth to each other. Hear
ing them, others came out, and pretty
soon 1t seemed as If every one In town
was out, running back and forth be-
tween houses and ali talking excitedly.
Because he had been the first to see
the strange bird and had given the
alarm, zap zap found himself person
of some Importance. He was supposed
to have had q better look at It than
any one else and his nearest neigh
bors came over to hear all about it and

that it was the biggest, most awful

ready four pounds of cooked lean veal,
and chop this in the same way. A
pound or more OF the white fat from a
inilk-fed veal animal, melted over hot
water, Is q very desirable addition, but
Is not necessary. Have ready two cy-
lindrical molds holding two quarts
pack with alternate portions of the
veal, the tongue and a little of the
melted fat, until filled. During the
nlling, the mixture should be pressed
down firmly and with all your might.
Place weights on top, and store in a
cold place until ready for use. Unmold

tomatoes and cucumbers on a bed of
chopped lettuce or cress.

your hair so that your face viii seem
more slender. Part 1t high at one
side and push the center piece back
so that the fun height of your fore
