my work again. Now I have to do all
my arithmetic over"
"You don't mean It! That boy Is
getting on everybodys nerves. Why
did he tear your work."
"Just for fun. I laid it on the table
beside me and he just picked 1t up and
tore it in bits and ran out"
"I don't know what to do with him.
I've tried everything from sending him
to bed to whipping him. He's nui-
sance to everybody from the time he
gets up until he goe. to bed"
Tell father about him. That's
what I'd do Let father handle him"
Don't you know your father knows
all about him? He's bothered to death.
I don't want him worried any more.
But something must be done. Where
did he go?"
II don't know. He ran out when
he tore my papers. Here's Mrs.
Mooney coming. I'll bet he's done
something to her. She looks madder'n
a splitting cat"
Gertrude, don't talk that way.
Come right in, Mrs. Mooney. Come
right in and sit down"
II can't stop, Mrs. Clary, but had
to come to ask you If you could do
something with Freddy. A few min
utes ago he picked up my lovely an.
CORA and dropped her in the deepest
part of the lily pool and never
turned round to see what happened.
Really"
"Yes, ma, that's just like what he
did to Trotty Turner this morning.
Trotty was sitting nice as you please
on the porch with his fathers big hat
on his head, and what does Freddy
do but hop on the porch. squash the
hat down on Trotty's head and beat
it to school,"
20, dear! What can I do? Mrs.
Mooney, what would you do? I've
tried everything"
Mrs. Mooney was still smarting
from the hurt that had been done her
cat, but the troubled face Of the ras-
calls mother touched her heart, and
she thought for a moment before
speaking. Then she said, Gould you
send him on a visit? I actually think
that he is bored stiff with the same
ness Of things. He is an active child,
he wants to be up and doing every
second. And what is there to do that
he hasn't done before? Could he go
on a visit to some of the family?"
Aunt Edith said she would be glad
to have him on the farm for as long
as he wanted to stay. He could 60 to
school. work on the farm and be busy
as the day was long. So to the farm
he went. He did so well that he
stayed there, coming home for vaca-
tions.
'No. he gave us no trouble to speak
Of. He feeds the calves and helps
about the barn mornings. He looks
after the chickens with me and brings
in the eggs. He calls the COWS for
milking, sees them to the pasture or
in the barnyard for their exercise and
drink. He goes to school and does
pretty well. We think the change did
him lot Of good"

Quick Meal
Suggestions
BY EDITH NJ. BARBER.

CEvERAL business women house
keepers have written to me ask
ing for suggestions for meatless quick
meals. Whether they desire these for
the sake of economy or for some die
tetic reason, do not know. In any
case where meat is left out Of meal,
there must be special attention to the
savoriness of the dishes which replace
it. The meal must include something
which will supply the large amount Of
protein contained in meat.
Cheese, eggs, dried beans, peas or
lentils will furnish protein. Cheese
supplies its own flavor. Eggs have
delicate favor of their own, but when
used often demand some accent in
seasoning. There are any number Of
interesting egg dishes which are easily
prepared. If you have individual au
gratin dishes which are shallow and
made of some heat-proof material, you
may drop your eggs into them and
cover them with sauce which may
be different every time. The basis is
usually a white sauce which may be
favored with grated cheese, sliced
cooked onion or with mushrooms
plus bit Of onion. For q quick
creole sauce you may cook a little
onion in butter and add can Of to-
mato soup.
Creamed mushrooms make a good
main dish because Of their meaty fla
Vor. You may use with them halved
or sliced hard cooked eggs. Baked
beans for the quick meal may come
out of the can, but are the better for
short baking in the oven in an at
tractive bean pot. Lentils are posi-
BILE for the quick meal only If they are
soaked and cooked a day or two ahead.
There is a particularly good Geman
recipe for the use Of lentils which was
given to me by friend Of mine in
Vienna. 1t does have bit Of salt pork
in IL so 1t Is not entirely meatlessl

Dorothy Dix Says
In Some Instances 1t Is Better for Children
to Have Business Woman" Mother.

TACK and Jill were a nice girl
and boy who were very much in
love with each other, and be-
cause their parents wet-blan-
keted their romance and told them
that hard times were no times to
marry in, they eloped and got married
anyway. At first they were very hap
py. Then Jack lost his job when pay
rolls began to be cut down, and Jill
had to give up her work because there
was baby coming.
Jack is an energetic young chap, full
of pep and ambition, so he hustled
out and got any kind of work that he
could that would bring in a dollar,
but he has never had any steady job
during the last two years. Now, how
ever, he is offered good position with
a future to it with a reputable firm,
but in order to get it he must put
up bond Of several hundred dollars
and he hasn't got the money.

60 HE appeals to Jill to go back to
- her old job and help him earn the
money to get start, but she refuses.
She says that she can't leave the baby
in hired hands, and that she wouldn't
think of trusting it to day nursery.
It might get hurt, or be given the
wrong food, or catch a contagious dis
ease, or heaven knows what might
happen to it. And she feels that her
first duty is to the baby. And, besides,
1t is mans business to support the
home and the wife's business to keep
it. And so the argument stands and
they asked me to referee their fight.
think Jack is right in this par
ticular case, and that in this crisis of
their affairs it is Jills duty to do any
thing she can to give him boost, even
If that involves working outside of her
home and parking the baby in a creche
instead of giving him his bottle with
her own hands.
There is much to be said on both
sides of the question of the wage-earn-
ing wife. Undoubtedly it is true that
when man is spineless and indolent
and self-indulgent by nature, he is still
further weakened by his wife assum-
ing the support of the family, and
that when he finds that Mary can do
it he sits down on the do-nothing
stool and lets her do 1t.

YESTERDAY we were talking about

While you are drawing the water from

O good nourishing cream.
Leave the cream on and step into
the tub, which should be lukewarm

salt or epson salts will add tonic

step in an overnight relaxation rest
program. Soak for about 10 minutes.

With tissues gently remove the
excess cream from your face, leaving

The next morning the routine can
be cut down to a quick, cool shower

cleanse the skin once more, pat with

quite such an ordeal and you are less

Of Wedding
Ceremonies
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST-when q di-
vorced man or woman marries
is a church wedding taboo?
Answer: 1t is not question of taboo,
meaning a social ban, but one of
sanction by particular church, and
this no one but your own clergyman
can answer. In some churches no
divorced person may be remarked,
ever. But in others the innocent per-
son-especially when the divorce has
been granted on serious charges
sometimes permitted to be remarked
in church. However, the majority of
second marriages takes place at the
home Of the bride or at that Of rela-
tive or friend.
Dear Mrs. Post-I will be married
soon, at home in the evening. would
like to wear a blue velvet dinner dress
and my sister, who will be my only
attendant, will dress similarly, and
both of us will wear flowers. Is all
this correct?
Answer: If this is your second mar
riage, the clothes you suggest are per-
feet. But If you are a spinster. then
you know, of course, that these clothes
are not at all bridelike. On the other
hand, if you prefer not to wear white
and a veil, then blue velvet dinner
dresses are suitable because appro-
pirate to the time Of day at which
the ceremony is taking place.
y X n 4
Dear Mrs. Post-What is the cor
rect thing to say to bride and groom
in the receiving line at their recep-
ton? Several Of us are getting no
where arguing the pros and cons of
whether one should congratulate the
groom instead of giving him, as well
as the bride, best wishes. We wish
you'd write about it.
Answer-While 1t has always been
customary to congratulate the BRIDE
groom and give best wishes to the
bride, think that we much more
naturally wish both Of them happi-
ness. It would, of course, be very
tactless to congratulate any woman
upon having secured husbandl But,
although 1t is proper to congratulate
the man for having won the girl Of
his choice, IL Is equally proper to
wish him, a. well as her. happiness.

jobs, and that the woman who works
outside of the home Is bound to neglect
the inside of 1t. Nor can any one else
pinch-hit for a mother. Little chill
dren need a mother whom they can
monopolize and whom they do not
have to share with some business or
career.
No one will deny that in the ideal
marriage the husband makes the living
and the wife makes the home. This is
the division of labor that nature in
tended. For the woman who bears
and rears children and who keeps a
family comfortable and well fed and
clothed has certainly pulled of full
sized job. She should not have to
both make the dough and bake 1t.
But unhappily conditions are not
ideal in this messy old world, and it
often happens that even the most in
dustrious and capable of men and
those who would be gladdest to support
their families cannot earn enough to
dc it. Then it is that the double bur-
den falls upon the wife and she shows
her sportsmanship by the way she
meets the situation. BY whether she
takes it standing up or lying down.
y \ r
THOUSANDS of young couples could
= not marry if modern girls did not
have enough spunk and spirit to keep
on with their Jobs after marriage.
Alone and unaided man would be
middle-aged before he would be able
to assume the burdens of matrimony.
The fire of youth would be burned out,
the glamour gone from romance. the
wedding cake grown stale. But with
wife who is an asset instead OF q la
bility the story is changed and the
young may marry while they are still
young and ardent and in love.
And often 1t Is even better for chill
dren that their mother should be a
money-earner rather than their nurse,
because she more than atones for the
loss Of her personal attention by Civ
ing them better environment to live
in, better food, better medical atten-
ton, q better education than they
could otherwise have.

like appearance which Is becoming
and smart.
This dress has Q cowl neckline, but
an inspired one, for the cowl Is
yoke, pointed like a handkerchief,
and casual and careless. The yoke
buttons its length down the back, but
in front is simply draped. The blouse
is gathered onto the yoke affair, so
that the effect is soft. Then there Is
q panel, which goes the entire length
of the dress in front and in back be-
gins at the waistline and goes on from
there.
You'll see this dress in beige jersey,
and then in some nice silk, in fresh.
bright color. You'll love it in the
natural beige tone, for it will go with
all your coats, and all your accessor-
les. Beige Is very agreeable that way.
Lanvin Is showing many shades Of
gray, and some Of them are the ma
tural tones that go well with color.
Woods are so soft and light that
they are used interchangeably with
silks. The newest ones are plain in
surface design, or 50 tightly twilled,
or woven In 50 small pattern that
they look smooth. OF course this
applies to the lighter varieties, for

IT'S only q step from Thanksgiving
to the Christmas holidays, with
schools closed again for real va
l. cation and all sorts of good times
scheduled which are already in the
stages of exciting plans. The very
young people of high school age who
have no worries hanging over them
other than those incident to Christ
mas good times, must have their party
dresses selected early and with partic-
ular thought to their youthfulness and
suitability. These frocks are to be
found in the junior departments, al
though entirely suitable afternoon and
dinner frocks will be found among
the junior misses, but most Of the
evening dresses are a little too sophis-
ticated for the II to is ages. 1t Is well
to look in both Of these departments
before making your decision; you will
find them equally interesting.
From the junior departments We
have chosen several dainty frocks suit
able for dancing that are full Of
youthful charm. We are especially
fond of the changeable taffeta that
is sketched, with the inset bands
Shirred top and bottom. and adorable
puff sleeves. The colors are soft and
lovely. 1t comes in soft blue, changing
into silvery rose. and also golden yel-
low with rose, both suggesting beauti-
full sunset colors. The blue frock has
a bouquet Of flowers in rose, blue and
green at the belt that is very effective.
This frock is $16.s5.
For an even younger sister, perhaps,
there is a delightful turquoise blue
taffeta, very high wasted. with little
puff sleeves and q neckline that is
square in the front but more like a
little shirt collar in the back with a
row of silk-covered buttons placed
close together from neck to waist
The front Of the skirt is plain but the
back is pleated on, allowing plenty OF
fullness.
IVORY taffeta with pipings of bright
red makes gay party frock for the
holidays and is inexpensively priced at
S5.95. 1t has a shallow BOAT neck with
two ruff1es all the way around that
cover the shoulders, and the skirt has
founce at the bottom with heading
and lower edge bound in red. A sash
ties in the back.
A deep French blue MORE taffeta is
very smart with wide trimming bands
of dubonnet velvet. Two inch-wide
velvet ribbons come from under the
round collar and widen out at the
waist. Here is a large velvet bow and
wide bands of velvet ribbon are stitched
on one edge to the skirt, meeting at
the waist and gradually flaring to the
hem. The skirt Is very full.
All shades Of pink are dear to the
heart of the junior and so we believe
she will Just love a petal-pink satin
with a sunburst pleated skirt and
matching pleated ruffle around the
neck. Pink velvet ribbon bows add
finishing touches.

EOR an afternoon party or little
dinner the junior might wear a
darling two-piece frock, consisting OF
a blue-and-silver metallic overblouse
with high turnover collar and short
sleeves and a black fan pleated skirt
in street length.
