Talks to Women About Money
By MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

destined to be really great.
Only soothsayer could talk Of a
singers : .iny For that reason it is
scarcely fair to ask family to sacrifice
many materi-l comforts for a chance
that may result in nothing. If 1t is
possible to finance ones own training
and culture, that is another thing en-
tirely.
The amount Of money required to
train a voice properly for the concert
or operate stage is considerable. 1t in
cludes tuition, additions, music and
other materials, living quarters, ex-
pease3 of attending concerts and per-
formances, and so forth. Usually such
a course of training requires at least
three to four years Of study. After
that ones expenses have just begun.
Initial concerts do not ordinarily earn
money. In fact, they usually add to
ones debt. Ensemble singing pays lit
tie, and meanwhile one must continue
her lessons.
A finished voice represents the in
vestment Of thousands rather than hun
dr"fs in most instances. Finally, one
may discover that her voice is no bet
ter or worse than scores of others. She
may earn a fair living by. the dint of
much hard work. The dividends on the
investment will be disappointingly small
to those whose hopes and ambitions
scared. These are the facts and they
are cited to inform, not to discourage,

on account of being aloud to do what
ever I wunted to, so Sed Wunted to
stay home from skool and wouldent
change my mind no matter how much
pop and ma argewed, being q good eel,
and after brekfist I went out and
started to wawk around, thinking, @,
this is going to be CRATE, all the fellows
are in Skool wishing they waSeut, and
air, O, this is going to be swell.
Ony 1t waSent so very on account of
none of the other fellows being out to
see me, and If they had of been, then
I wouldn't of been the ony one, and I
looked in different store windows a
while, and everything was quiet as any,
thing on account of none of the fell
lows being out yelling and argewing,
me thinking, G, know what, I'll go
and stand outside skool, and they'll all
be in there and Ill be out there 1affing
at them.
Which I went and started to do, and
It was the quieteSt place yet out there
me thinking, G., maybe funny things
are happening in there and I'm out
here missing them. Maybe some of
the fellows are making axsidently funny
ansers and maybe even Miss Kitty

And after a while the IL o'clock

Mental Telepathy.

What is mental telepathy? The COM
Inunication of thoughts or messages be-
tween persons at distance without the
use of ordinary instruments Of COM
munication. At least that's what 1t Is
supposed to be. And supposition 1t IS,
but, superstition or not, there are those
who demand an explanation.
First, we have the resonance"
theory. The two minds are said to be
pitched In the same mental key. They
are "in tune" According to the theory,
they now and then get tuned in"
Another theoretical explanation has 1t
that we all live in what appears to be
sea of mind. And, of course, the
greater part of this vast sea of
thoughts is engulfed in the deep caves
of ocean. Its depths cannot be faith
omed. In other language, we all share a
place, a psychological portion, Of the
So-called absolute unconscious" mind
which makes us all alike in the deeper
human nature.
The other half of the theory assumes
that each individual mind is an island
in this sea of thought. And each island
has some connection with the great and
unknown floors of the ocean. And so,
now and then, waves Of thought are
communicated from one island to an
other.
The foregoing are representative
theories of mental telepathy. But they
explain nothing. They are merely fan
taStic notions.
In the case Of mental telepathy
there is nothing to explain. Mental
telepathy Is superstition.

YOU ever do a thing like thisP

Did you ever do thing like this2
Once a woman was asked out to Sum-
day tea and was told to be sure to
bring her 3-year-old son with her.
When supper was served the grown
ups were well taken care of. But there
wasn't a thing that the child could eat.
He had to be satisfied with crackers
and milk. after the hostess had ex-
claimed in some embarrassment, ooh,
forgot all about David. He can't eat
this, c2n hep"
Even a hostess who never has had chill
dren or been among them much should
be posted on what normal children
have. Now this very hostess could have
had a few sandwiches Of peanut butter
mixed with little honey and. one or
two plain bread and butter ones cut
into fancy shapes. With a glass of
milk and a bit of dessert the child
would probably have been satisfied. If
she had had a fruit salad it would have
been even better
That is, If she had remembered to
save out a little of the fruit before mix
ing it with nayonnaise. Few children
like n1ayonnaiSe and they shouldn't
have it anyway. But most children like
fruit and fruit salad is splendid II
you are having a fruit salad with a
dren make the salad with a tiny dab
of plain whipped cream on top for a
garnish, and perhaps a piece of cam
died cherry. That is sure to please
them.
When there are children to be pres
ent one of the best desserts you can
have is ice cream-plain. Both chill
dren and grown-ups, too, are satisfied
then. But above all don't have any,
thing rich and sticky and hard to han
die. A simple rice pudding garnished
with a little colored whipped cream
and candied fruit is good.
1t is best to plan with the children
foremost in your thoughts, because,
while the older ones can always eat
what the children can, the reverse is
quite, quite the opposite.
Now let's see. Surprising you were
going to have children with their par
ents in to a Sunday dinner. If you
have soup or fruit cup to begin on
it will be much safer than hors d'oeuvre.
For soup-a small cup Of cream soup
is good, or a noodle soup. For meat
pot roast or roast leg Of lamb or
chicken.
The children probably wouldn't care
for mint sauce or mint jelly, but they
would like currant jelly. The gravy
from either pot roast or lamb or chick
en- is so rich and fine that it seems
that there simply ought to be a big
bowl of fluffy, mashed potatoes to go
with it.
There should be at least one vege-
table that is sure to please the children
they can have beets, carrots, spinach,

beets are splendid. Hollow out small
beets and I'LL them with hot spinach.
Or stuffed carrots. Use rather large
carrots and cut them lengthwise and
hollow out. Reheat with buttered spin
ach in them. Or little nests of squash
filled with peas. If you have plain but
tered carrots or beets, cut them in
fancy shapes if you would please the
children. They will look mighty pretty
to the adults, too.
For salad, fruit is fine, as mentioned.
Or sliced tomatoes or celery and ap-

A salad that will please them is can

Shelf for Spices.

If your spice boxes are lost, have q
special place for them, and always
keep them there. Take two 6-inch
cans and place one at each end Of your
kitchen cabinet Shelf and place thin,
narrow board from one can to the
ether. The small shelf thus formed is
wide enough to hold the spice boxes
and raise them above other articles in
the cabinet, and then there will be no
trouble in finding spice box when 1t
is wanted. If you like, the board and
cans may be enameled to match the
inside of the cabinet.

LIKE AN ENGINE, the body needs fuel to keep it
going. This fuel is food. If we eat more
than the body needs for its daily activities, the
excess food is stored as fat. If we eat less than
we need, the body draws the fat, stored in
every bouncing :. and we lose weight!

be raised by June, 1882, as part of the
Ultimate goal of S20,000,00 by 1889.
The development program of Catholic
University was approved this year by
the church hierarchy in America, which
comprises the controlling body of the
institution. Ninety-two prelates have
accepted membership on three hier-
archical committees sponsoring the
movement.
The first of these committees. under
the Most Rev. James O'Reilly, Bishop
OF Scranton, is in charge of the Nation
wide collection tomorrow, which is ex-
pected to net in excess of 100000.
The second stage of the program is
in charge of a committee of bishops,
clergy and laity, which is directing its
efforts toward raising $1,000,000 by
next June to fulfill the immediate needs
OF the university.
Most Rev. John J. Glennon, Arch
bishop OF st. Louis, is chairman of the
third major group which will sponsor
the development program after the first
two CON mittees complete their respec-
tive tasks.
