When purchased in the usual
size her point was we'll taken as all
apartment dwellerS who have one
time or other purchased and
schemed for days in order to con-
sumo the contents of the roast will
agree.
To make such a delicacy prac-
tical, they must first be brought
down to a "two-some" size. In the
case of the roast this can be done
by purchasing a thick steak, then
having the butcher lard, roll, and
tie it. The roll can be scared and
cooked quickly in an oven set at
$50 degrees.
For veal and lamb, a Stuffing
might be added before the slice of
meat is rolled and tied. These
must be watched carefully to avoid
overlooking and drying out. FIRE.
quent basting is important. You
will find the meat roasted in this
way satisfactory, however.
There are several meats that can
be purchased for individual Serv-
ingS. Small fish, such as butter
fish and smelts, are of this type.
oysters which are beginning to
come in abundantly are also good.
Instead Of attempting a roasted
chicken, have you considered the
SQUAD of the guinea? The guinea is
favored dish in France. They
may be broiled or stuffed and
baked. The stuffing and the sauce
chosen for it are important.
Fresh mushrooms sauteed in
butter give this stuffing an ele-
CANT flavor. The guinea needs
additional fat added in order to
be moist.

LOST CONFIDENCE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"What confidence can be put in
q man who promises to do better
and constantly fails? We have
been married seven years and have
three children. My husband
spends all of his money on an.
other woman, comes home intOxi-
Gated and is brutal and abusive.
"Yet, when threaten to leave,
he cries like a baby and says he
will never act that way again. But
still he goes back to this woman
and spends his money on her. On
one occasion my furniture was put
in the street for nOn-payment Of
rent.
"My father has told me l may
come home and bring the children,
but that my husband must never
darken his doors. I've had a high
school education and q year Of
business college, and yet hesitate
to break up our home, such as it is.
"UNHAPPY WIFE"
I only wish that other women
who write the same kind of letters
as yours had fathers who would
willingly receive them and their
children. You are Singularly
blessed. Also, your education is
another advantage.
Why not return to your fathers
home for a given period of time,
say year or two, and see if your
husband is in earnest about pulling
himself together and escaping the

Here's Cne background!
A Worn-out housewife wrote me
a letter and said that after her
husband lost his job, she opened
q boarding house because she was
q good cook. AS 1 recall it, she
cooked for 10 boarderS and four
members Of her own family. She
did the houseWork with only the
assistance of a student who
washed the dishes.
The thing which caused her to
rebel was not the cooking, market
ing, planning or cleaning up. but
the fact that there was a wood
range in the kitchen (they got the
house cheap because it had few
modern convenienceS
Her husband was supposed to
chop the wood, but as he had Sc,
cured employment by this time,
and frequently had on his good
clothes, he declined to chop the
wood, and left that extra chore
to his wife.
I sympathized with this lady,
and suggested that when she had
to cook, market, plan and do the
housework for IA people-and
then chop the wood-it might be
q good idea to let the boarderS GO
unfed till her husband again re-
turned to the wood pile.
WOMEN APPROVE
And what an avalanche of brick,
bats and bouquets my suggestion
has brought down on my head!
Women readers flocked to my
side of the argument. They tolo
me Just what they'd do to such
husband.
They said that, since the hus-
band is now employed, the worn,
out wife should go on vacation,
get rested, and hire help to cook
for the boarderS. They thanked
me for being the champion OF op-
pressed womanhood.
Some of them confided that
they chopped wood daily to keep
the home fires burning while hus'
bands settled the affairs of the
nation at the crossroads store, and
they knew just how Carrie Nation
felt when she welded her little
hatchet.
These wives chopped wood only
because they had young children
who needed a cereal, long cooked
Otherwise the wood stoves in their
kitchens would have been cold
when friend husband returned
from the forum on the cracker
box at the crossroads store. These
letters made me purr.
AS MEN SEE 1T
Now for the brickbatS!
Men who could hardly control
their RACES, fountain pens, or pen
cils wrote along these lines:
"Why shouldn't women chOT
wood? They vote, sit in the Sen
ate and House of Representatives
and do jury duty. I'm all fol
giving them the ak and letting
them chop"
Another gentleman's argument
was as follows:
"Dear Miss Fairfax:
Gas the entire female sex l:
bent on keeping as thir
as matches, why not let them chOJ
away and reduce? The wOOdpilt
is certainly cheaper than going tt
a gymnasium, or to a beauty par

BeIgians Turn Clock Back

in November.

WISE, Belgium, October 3.-Twice
In November this quiet little city on
the border Of Belgium and, Holland
will deck itself in festive array and
hold celebrations reminiscent of
medieval times. On the eighth its
ancient Gid Of the Arquebusiers will
hold fete, while the Gid of the Free
Arquebusiers plan to make merry a
week later, the fifteenth.
Even though. the, arquebus, a
sixteenth century gun, which preceded
the musket, went out of use about
1870, its carriers in this city, the
arquebusiers, have kept up their
ancient gilds and today membership
in them Is still looked upon as a mark
of distinction. Twice annually they
turn back the calendar 400 years and
stage these November celebrations with
all the color of the Middle Ages.
Other Belgian cities as well as Wise
preserve gilds and contests that date
from medieval times. Just as colorful
