BY ANGELO PATRI.

IN HONOR of Katherine's birthday
anniversary eight little girls and
| eight little boys were having a party
They were dressed in their best party
clothes and, of course, were wearing
their party manners. That made most
of them a little stiff and backward
all expect Winnie. She laughed first
, and always. She skipped and danced
while the others, especially Katherine
moved slowly and shyly. She chatted
and trilled and fitted about the room
charging the party with life and
gayety. isn't she wonderful" mur-
INJURED Katherine's mother wistfully
If only Katherine could be little
more like that. She is so slow to
warm up to people. Takes things Sc
soberly. Winnie is wonderful"
After the cake had been eaten and
the last game played the children
scattered to their homes. Grandfather
called for Winnie. He seemed to have
some difficulty about getting her hat
and coat on. Winnie was heard to
lift her voice in complaint and finally
grandfather was heard to say: "All
right. Put it on yourself. Why don't
you?" And Winnie forgot to say good
by to Katherine's mother, although
she was standing by the door to see
her guests safely on their way.
When Winnie reached home her
mother said: did you have a good
time, dear?"
"Oh, don't bother me-" replied the
weary child. i hate parties. I'll
never go to another one as long as !
live"
There, there, you are tired. I'll
help you change your dress and you
rest little while and then have your
supper. You'll feel better"
mo, won't feel bit better. Who
put my doll on my bed? Well, don't
want it there. No. I don't want my
face washed. You're pulling my hair
I'm not going to lie down. I'm going
downstairs and play the radio. Well
grandfather can just stop listening
can't he? Yes, they will so like me
I heard Katherine's mother say ]
was just wonderful, so there!"
There was little joy in that house
hold for the rest of the evening
Winnie was cross. She had given out
al the sunshine she could afford for
one day and the family must put UP
with whatever she had left. Or take
matters in their own hands and put
her in bed and close the door on her
until she was rested again and in good
humor.
II mothers could see the children
they admire beyond their own as they
really are at home they would seldom
covet their neighbor's child. Usually
the child they have is far better &C.
cording to their own standards thar
the one they look on so longingly. The
life OF the party usually has off hours
not easy to bear, and he is likely te
take his irritation out on others. Many
OF the nicely behaved children are
just like the ones the parents own and
deplore. ~.
A healthy, happy child is something
to be grateful for. Manners, poise,
social gifts belong to later growth
Don't try to force such things, but
let them come in their own time. They
have deeper roots and stand up better
II they have been allowed to develop
normally.

Concerning
Engagement
And Rings
By EMILY POST.

DEAR Mrs. Post: Our sons engage
ment is to be announced in q
CITY too far from here for us to be
present at the dinner. Is there some
especial way we might show our hap
piness without being there, and what
would you suggest?
Answer: Send telegram to be read
et the dinner, expressing your hap
piness in welcoming your daughter
to-be, and your disappointment in
not being able to be present. End
the message by sending love and good
wishes to them both.
X x n
Dear Mrs. Post: was engaged and
nv fiance died. I have continued
to wear my engagement ring on my
left hand in spite of the criticism
this has received from some of my
friends. They think should either
give it back to his family or should
wear it on my right hand, while 1
feel that for as long as live I may
wear it just where it is if choose to
But I don't want to show any dis
respect to him nor behave unbe-
comingly if they are right, although I
cont understand why they could he
right.
Answer: You are absolutely right
and they are as wrong as those who
mistakenly believe that a widow should
lay aside her husbands Christian
name. Your ring is yours to wear
forever. Unless it shall happen that
you some day become engaged to
some one else In that case you
would wear the first ring on your
right hand-or take it off, as your
feelings dictate.

THOSE of you who observe Lent
may be interested in a few OF the
fish delicacies some of the local
merchants will be featuring during the
coming weeks. Fresh fish will no
doubt be first choice, and, OF course.
all those in season will be available
at the local stalls. The frozen and
smoked fish will probably be second
choice, while the canned variety will
claim considerable popularity, too.
One of our fresh fish merchants will
have among his usual splendid line
one of the most unusual Of seafood
specialties-cod tongues New Eng
land treat. They are very delicate in
flavor and are generally prepared
like sweetbreads. Bostonians, we
know, will be glad to learn this del
icacy is available here. In the cured
fish you will find smoked Potomac roe
herring (cured right here in WASH
ington by merchant who sends his
smoked fish to all points in the United
States); and smoked red Columbia
River salmon-two items that are
especially tasty. In canned goods,
herring roe, cod fish (for cod fish
balls), salmon, tuna and the South
American lobster meat we men
toned few weeks ago, offer a gen.
erous variation for the fast day menus.
THE oyster soup we mentioned last
week has aroused considerable
interest and we have learned of an
other soup that we know will become
equally popular-black bean soup
the genuine old-fashioned kind. We
understand the house who has put this
soup of soups" on the market has
used an old-fashion recipe that a
well-known chef made famous many
years ago The same house, by the
way, also puts out French onion soup
that approaches any the most tal-
ented of French chefs could concoct.
These three soups-oyster, black
bean and onion-on the emergency
shelf should make any hostess feel
secure, for as q last-minute addition
to the simplest of meals any of them
would lift the menu into the dinner
party category.

who were hard and cruel and tyran.
nical; or to men who were drunkards:
or to men who .insulted them by
their infldelities. They knew they
could look for no possible happiness
with such husbands and they would
gladly have left them and built them
selves new lives II they had been alone.
But there were the children. The
children whom they had brought
unasked into the world and who had
right to a decent upbringing; a
right to peaceful, cheerful home;
a right to both father and mother;
right to an education and to the
start in the world that father could
give them; right to be saved from
being those embittered, cynical little
creatures with warped and distorted
minds and characters that the chill
dren become who are torn between
mother and father and dragged from
one home to another Of alienated
parents.
60 THESE women shut the doors
that would lead to freedom be-
hind them, and they keep the fire
burning on their hearthstones and
hold their families together and give
their children their chance in the
world at what price God Himself only
knows. And only He knows how they
keep their courage up and what
thoughts they are thinking through
the long years while they cook and
scrub and make cookies, give debu-
tante parties for their daughters, get
their boys of to college, and put up
with the sneers and complaints of a
grouchy man whose faults they try
to cover from their children's eyes.
Believe me, the Spartan boy who
smiled while the fox gnawed at his
vitals was no greater stole than the
woman who covers up the knowledge
of her husbands infidelities with such
gay cordiality toward him that people
wonder if she is ignorant Of his affairs.
Many women think that they show
courage when they throw their caps
over the windmill for the sake of
a lover, or when they break up a
marriage that proves uncongenial.
But they are towards and quitters.
The brave women are those who stand
at their posts of duty and fight a
good fight until the end. They are
those who have earned their cross
of the Legion Of Honor.

EAR MISS DIX-Which is the

greater coward, the woman
who, to avoid scandal and to
secure q good home and edu-
cation for three fine children, lives 20
years with the wrong man; or the
woman who, having found the right
man, breaks up her home and his?
Mine Is the not uncommon tragedy
Of the woman who marries very young,
is utterly disenchanted by finding her
husband is mean, selfish, tyrannical, al
most impossible to live with, and then,
when it Is too late. meets the man who
is her ideal.
Had I been alone I should not have
hesitated to have broken the marriage
bonds that CALLED me SO deeply, but I
had three children and no way of sup
porting them, and for their sake have
carried on. I have changed virtually
every habit and my whole character
In order to make a peaceful home for
them. But what hurts me is this hor-
ror of pretending to be happy and sat-
isfied when my whole soul revolts
against the situation. Shall I go on
being as kind as possible and wishing
I were dead? M. S.
Answer: I do not think that you,
and women like you, are towards. I
think that every woman who endures
the desolation of an unhappy marriage
and keeps her home together for the
sake of her children is among the
bravest of the brave and deserves to
have a hero's medal pinned upon her
breast.
IT IS easy to risk your life for
another's in some great and spec
tacular emergency 1t is easy to go
over the top in the frenzy of battle
with the whole world looking on and
waiting to applaud your valor. Even
a towards heart has its moment Of
bravery when the bands play and the
flags wave and the troops 60 swinging
by. But it takes a cold courage that
few are great enough to feel to give
your life, day after day, year after
year, for others and make no outcry;
to put away the love for which you
are starving because you are not free
to take it; to give ones own happiness
for the sake Of others.
Yet this is what millions Of women
do without ever even thinking OF
themselves as heroines. For them
marriage was a bitter awakening from
the dream Of love. They found them
selves married to husbands who left
them neglected and cold; or to men

SEDAN PEDDLERS'
 TO GET LICENSES
Milk Dealers Who Handle Small Quantities Must
 Display Car Markers

Sedan peddlers," or those milk dealers who handle small quanti- ties of milk and deliver 1t In or. dinary passenger automobiles, will have Q display milk license mark. CTS on their cars this year.
 Complaints to Milk Administra- tor s. Mclean Buckingham that many small distributors were de- livering milk apparently without li- censes, led to Q new ruling that went into effect Wednesday.
 Tn the past the dealers with "limited licenses" or those selling less than 10 quarts Q day have re- ceived no markers for their cars, only Q cardboard certificate. MT. Buckingham believes that most of the complaints of unlicensed ped- ding are due to this fact, since even though the dealer had Q license there was nothing on his car to show 1t.
 MIX dealers' licenses expired June 30 and renewals are now be- ing issued. Wednesday morning ap- proximateiy half of the $500 dealers and stores which the administrator licenses to handle milk had al- ready received their new certificates. It was estimated by Deputy Com missioner William 0. Hungerford, who is in charge of licensing, that 90 per cent of the renewals would be Issued by July l6. Last year the licensing Jagged so badly that it was not completed until November.

be eligible, among other things to on award of &6,000. He or she will be required to drive to New York city, to arrive there on August 3l, to participate in the first nation- wide motorcade of "safe drivers. After all % drivers arrive in New York there will be unique .two- day accident clinic" for the diag- nosis of "driver habits" and "driver evils.
 There will be three days of enter- tainment in New York city for the 4o safe drivers, all expenses paid. Mileage will also be paid to cover expense of driving to New York city and back. Medals will be awarded each driver by the Safety Foundation and by the A, A. A., two different medals, and each driver will be added to the auto club mem- bership.
 Manager Steele of the Motor club said the clubs executive committee had not only endorsed the AAA pro- gram but indicated Q keen interest in its progress. "In this day of automobiles and highways SO per- fected that fast driving Is @ temp tation that so many yield to, the only person." MT. Steele said, "who may rightfully be honored is he who drives safely.
 Alertness Counts
 "All who drive recklessly endan- ger even those who drive carefully. To have driven ten years or more without an accident is to have been constantly on the alert, and aware os the fact others on the highway, as we'll as ones self. are all poten. tial sources of nishap. More than Q year ago an effort was made to instill safety into the minds of mo- torists by appealing to their sense of fear. A pamphlet entitled And Sudden Death was circulated wide- ly. Millions of copies were dis tributed. The immediate effect was salutary. There was @ resultant decrease in accidents for a short time then the rate went merrily on as before.
