Upon First Seeing Snow Fall.
(New York Herald Tribunel


 One of our correspondents arriving at the office yesterday from the hinterland of New Jersey re- ported eloquently upon his young daughters first view of a snowstorm His own spectaces were limmed with snow and he bore every evidence of having had of those hard tusses with the elements which keep commuters the sturdy pioneers that they The daughter, aged nine months, was held up to the window to observe this new sky, white and whirling. She opened her mouth in amazement and uttered sounds plainly expressing at the least wild surprise
 It would be rather good test of the youth and freshness of any adult mind to know how it reacted to yesterdays beauty. Snow on the ground snow on the roof of a great city, has its merits. So has hoar frost Of motionless fog. But nothing in all nature holds the excitement of falling snow.
 To New Workers in year like the present when snow comes late it is perhaps not hard to blink with smazement when the sky suddenly begins to move n every pattern of the dance. But, rare or fre- luent the thrill is always there for any eyes that ;an still see. Here is no question of association with the past, with bobs and bells. The memories belong with the static aftermath when the snow down. ready to be trampled underfoot or cut 1y a runner.
 What we are praisng is the most beautiful metamorphosis through which the earth passes Dawn can be far splendid; twilight and tha moon have their occasional magic. But here as the sky turns white, is utterly new moment transforming everything natural human into single vivid beauty It moves like the particles within the atom like the spheres of the solar system like everything that lives and, like every moment that is perfect, it is silent Perhaps this soundlessness especially in city of dreadful noise is it's greatest marvel. For with the comes hush as if even the busiest and most raucous of humans had paused With open mouth, like the nine months-oid daughter to admire and worship They certainly should

EUROPEAN WAR SCARE.

Europe, always overcast with clouds, is again looking with alarm as Germany evades direct answers to all the features embodied in the London security program which has the endorsement of France and Italy. The Reich has hlnted it might go along air pact but golden silence has ensued when general agreement to a peace agreement has been preached.
 It is admitted in European diplomatic circles that the famous Treaty of Versailles is dead far ts it's effectiveness is concerned and the "bg three" of Europe-Britain France and Italy-are determined to act In plain words they have said that if Ger many will not go along a program for peace until economic conditions improved. they stand ready to join in forcing the issue.
 They doubtless hold the balance of power in Europe at the present time but it is unlikely they will use it for it is evident that no single nation the afford There many indications that several could on small pretense be imbued with the spirit Of armed clash, but wars cost money and none of the nations have an ade- quate supply of money credit to carry a successful conflict of any duration. Thus peace loving people need not be overly alarmed when the great powers make faces at another All of them are too experienced in the science and strategy of war to start shooting without having ample funds to give assurance of good supply of ammunition

If you want to live in the kind of a town like the kind of a town you like you needn't slip your clothes in a grip and start on long long hike You'll only find what you left behind, for there's nothing that's really It's a knock at your yourself when you knock your town; it isn't the ,own-lts you Real towns aren't made by men who're afraid lest somebody else gets ahead When everyone works and nobody shirks you can raise a town from the dead.

20 YEARS AGO
 From The Empire

For the purpose of relieving the tremendous strain under which the Russians had been laboring for the last ten days as a result of the German attacks in East Prussia and other sections, the Allies be- gan active offensive operations in many places along the western front. The result of the sudden attack along the line from the sea to the Alps was a general gain, which was successfully fol- lowed up for three days. The AL lies captured miles of trenches and many prisoners.
 Tenakee was enjoying a busy season, with more than 200 people there taking the baths and waiting for the season to open up, return ing Juneauites said.
 Master Elliott Fremming was preparing to leave on the MaripoSa for Seattle where he was to meet Fred B. Stevenson, master me chanic for the Alaska Gastineau. and travel to the San Francisco fair as MT. Stevenson's guest.
 Many people from Juneau at tended the dance given by the Sons of Norway in the Eagles Hall, Douglas.
 Legislators who had arrived in Juneau included Senator c. P. Hubbard, Senator O. P. Gaustad, Representative c. K. SncN, T. H. Holland, Ernest B. Collins, T. B. Tansey. Senator Hubbard was ac- companied by his wife and daugh- ter.

The Straight-hair coiffure must,
of course, be perfectly groomed. A

in place. The very simplicity of
the arrangement calls attention to
the quality of the hair itself. The
hair must be brushed and brushed
to bring out its natural luster. 1t

that you need never use a soiled
one. Soap and water washing is
the most effective way of cleaning
them. but when this is not conven-
lent brushes may be freed from oil
and dust by dipping them in flour
and then rubbing them together.
This is done several times until the
bristles are clean, then the -four
is blown off and the base of the
brush is wiped. When washing hair
brushes. use warm soapy water with
a few drops of ammonia in it. Do
not immerse the brush, but swish
the bristles in the water horizon

the brush, unless, of course, the
base has become soiled. Rinse sew
eral times. Let 1t dry with the

q UMMER fashions for little girls
have never been lovelier than
this year. The trend in prac-
tical styles is toward high
necklines, dropped shoulders in
stead of sleeves and button trim
ming.
The dress in the accompanying
sketch has youthful charm which
will bring out the loneliness of
every little girl who wears it. This
model is typical of the latest Gus
tom-made' clothes for children. 1t
is an example of simplicity at its
best. One view shows it in polka
dot and the other in wavy stripe
going cross-wise down the back.
In one frock a dark contrast is used.
This detail is both smart and prac-
tical. The buttons are always
matched to the contrast. which in
the smartest dresses repeats the
predominating color in the print.
This design is smart enough to
merit an analysis since it follows
trends that are important in grown
up fashions. The neck is high and
collared. the shoulderline smooth.
and a bolero treatment is featured
in the shaping of the yoke. To
achieve center fullness pointed in
sets are introduced in the skirt.
Little panties. made on the bias
of the material and cut in one
piece, are included in this model.
The materials in dresses of this
type range from lawn and dimi1y
to percale, poplin, linen, pique and
rub silk.

With Touch of Science
How Desired Hues Are Retained While Meal

Vitamins Considered.

But, with lid on the pan. the acid
vapor is held close to the vegetable
and causes fading. Therefore, if
you leave the lid off, and let the
acid escape, the vegetable remains
unharmed.
DED vegetables-beets, red cab
~ bage and red onions-are COL
ored by a pigment called antho-
cyanin. This pigment changes from
red to blue very easily, and in the
process of cooking may change from
one shade to another. Red cab
bage, for instance, turns purple
when cooked in hard, or alkaline
water. II you add soda, the cab
bage becomes blue. To keep red
caggabe red, add a little vinegar to
the water.
Beets can also be frightened by
adding a little lemon juice or vim
egar, although the beets themselves
contain almost enough acid to keep
them red. alone. Beets lose color
for a different reason; they bleed
if cut up in water, or if any cut
surface is exposed to water. There
fore, the less water used the better
in cooking them. Cooked in their
skins. the beets cannot bleed much
especially if an inch or so of top
is left on them during the process.
White vegetables will stay white
if cooked in soft water. Adding soda
turns them yellow. Too long cook
ing does the same thing. The pig
ments that cause this change are
called f1avones, which are colorless
in acid, and yellow in alkali. A
pinch of cream of tartar in the
water helps keep caulifioWers,
onions and celery white-a table,
spoonful of milk added to the water
will do the same thing. Personally,
I like the milk method best.
CARROTS get their color from a
~ pigment called carotin, as do
sweet potatoes and yellow squash.
Carotin is a fast color; cooking
changes it very little. Usually

table is a great source of vitamin A.
That is why specialists talk so much
about the food value of the yellow
vegetables. Vitamin A is not af-
fected by cooking any more than
is the carotin-in fact. chemists tell
us that carotin in the plants be-
come vitamin A when absorbed by
the human body. But even so. don't
cook the yellow vegetables too
long, for they have many other
vitamins which are damaged by
cooking, and it is a pity to lose any
of them unnecessarily.
And just one more word. TO 60
back TO the pigment known as chlo-
rophyll. 1t is interesting TO know
that mate, the famous South Amer
ican tea, which is noted for its
energizing and staying powers,
derives those very qualities from
the superabundance of chlorophyll
with which its green leaves are
endowed.

bent would prove distinct failure.
There is a reason for all this.
The really good cook wants her
vegetables to keep their green col
oring, not only because it appeals
TO the eye, but also because in the
green coloring matter there is a
great source of vitamins and iron.
EOR years a pinch Of soda has
been added to the water in
which green vegetables were cook
ing to produce a bright. appetizing
color. The Bureau Of Home Eco
nomics Of the Department of Agri-
culture explains the chemical rea-
son for this:
The natural colors of vegetables
are due to the pigments of different
chemical composition. The green
pigment is called chlorophyll, which
is important to the plant in much
the same way that haemoglobin in
the blood is important to the human
body.
Chlorophyll dissolves hardly at
all in soft water. When you add
soda, however, the cholorphyll
chances-decompo chloro-
phyll salts, which are vividly green.
That is where your emerald color
comes from.
But the soda. that gives the color,
also takes away some of the vita
minis and iron from the vegetable,
so that specialists now tell Us not
to use the soda, but to keep the
fresh green color by another method
of cooking. This is simply to cook
the vegetables in very little water,
with no cover on the saucepan. and
to cook them the shortest possible
time.
You see, if you were to add a
little acid instead of soda to the
cooking water. the chlorophyll
would dissolve into compounds that
are dull yellow or brownish. You do
not do this, of course, because the
brownish color is just what yol,
don't want: But you have to deal
with acid. anyway-because there
is acid in the vegetable itself. Cook
ing Softens the vegetable and re-
leases the acid. some of which
evaporates quickly with the water.

nOUBTLESS it is because men
are so welded to the theory
that once they get wife. they
can't lose her. that they take so
little trouble to keep their wives
in love with them, but this is a mis-
take on every count. 1t is a mis-
take, because women are just as
tickle as men are Wives tire of
their husbands just as easily as
husbands tire of their wives. and
women no more have the faculty
of loving the unlovable than men
have.
A woman, for instance, is no
more enamored of a man with a
two-day stubble of beard on his
face than a man is of woman with
cold cream smeared over hers. A
frowsy-looking man. sitting around
the house in his stocking feet, and
in a soiled shirt, is every whit as
repulsive to woman as a sloppy,
slovenly woman is to a man. A
woman no more enjoys the society
of a nagging husband than a man
does a nagging wife, and a heart
hungry woman, married to a cold
and neglectful man, who takes her
for granted. is just as likely to steal
a little Of romance as man is.
60, IF a man wants to keep his
~ wife in love with him, he has
to be up and doing, and use just
exactly the same tactics that wom-
an does in holding her husband. He
has to keep himself looking good
to her. Fortunately, women don't
put the ridiculous stress on beauty
that men do, but they do demand
cleanliness and neatness. Personal
tidiness. Then husbands must make
marriage worth while for their
wives. Give them the appreciation
and the praise that turn houSeWork
from dull chore into fine career.
If a man is going to keep his wife
glad she married him, he must keep
up the love making with which he
won her. The fire goes out on the
altar of a woman's heart. unless it
is continually fed with tenderness
and affection and compliments and
jollying. You can't treat a woman
like a Ladylove on one side of the
altar and a household convenience
on the other and expect her to
like it.
A ND if a man keeps his wife in
love with him, he has to show
her little attentions. Notice how
she does her hair. Praise her new
gown. Make her little presents,
and tell her every day she grows
more and more wonderful in every
way.
Men don't think it worth while to
bother about keeping their wives
in love with them, but it pays to
do so. For the woman who is in
love with her husband is on her
tiptoes to please him, while the
wife who has fallen out of love with
her husband says. Whats the
use?" DOROTHY DIX.

In Daily Run
Of Events t
Some Questions Are
Hard to Answer in
Puzzling Cases.
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST.-Is it con-
- sidered proper for a young
woman to 60 to dinner and to play
bridge and to dance with man
who gives her such invitations from
his friends? l am a comparative
stranger in this town. and it seems
to be a general custom to invite
unknown young women in this cas-
ual manner. l don't want to be
considered unnecessarily prim, and
vet it's all so strange to me.
Answer-This is one of the hard
est questions to answer for the very
reason you yourself give. 1t has
always been considered lacking IN
dignity to make practice of being
the girl brought along" And yet,
in very informal and friendly
circles propriety must be deter
mined by qualifying circumstances
Judged by your own good sense.
This is rather questionable advice
from one who specializes in eti-
uuette-especially since it wou!o
seem simple enough for hostess
TO telephone you, Il am Mrs. Jones
"a friend of John Smiths; my hus-
band and l would like you to come
with John on Friday evening" /
But if you are quite sure that the
,Joneses and the Browns and the |
Robinsons and all the others m !
YOUR new community think that
YOU are merely putting on high |
hat. it is decidedly better to adapt !
yourself TO the point OF view OF
the Joneses. the Browns and the !
Robinsons. But one word OF Ser'-
Gus advice: Be sure to find out what
their point of view really is.
Dear Mrs. Post.-Recently l
gave a small dance for young
cousin and her fiance who visited
me. It is true that l am no longer
young. but in spite of this l telt
that the young man should have
asked me to dance at least once
during the evening. Also. they have
been gone now for over two weeks
and neither one of them has writ
ten me a note. Am I expected to
overlook such thoughtlessness. or
il not. be considered fashioned?
Surely some of the amenities of
yesterday ought to be exacted in
the social world of today
Answer-Properly he should
have had the politeness to ask you
TO dance. And had he been young
man of the world. his failure to do
so would have been inexcusably
discourteous. On the other hand,
if he was a provincial young man.
it is entirely possible that he did
not know any better than to sup
pose that you neither cared to
nor perhaps even could-dance.
But I do agree that at least she
and for that matter, he too-ought
to write to thank you for your
kindness This discourtesy is not
so easy TO overlook since it shows
a lack of appreciation. which even
common decency would otherwise
have urged them to express.
