Son Fed Up
On Virtues of
Dad AS a Boy
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX


Dear Miss Fairfax:
"In his way the Dad is all
right. He's little given to pro-
claiming what a perfect 'hus-
band and father he has been,
but the thing that gets my goat
is the way he boosts his genera
ton over mine.
THE Dad is 81, which is al
most two generations ahead Of
an 1S-year-old son who gradu.
ated from high school this
June, but I'm sure sick Of hear
ing what he and his boy chums
did that my brother and I don't
do. I haven't been able to earn
any money so far, because it
took all my time to study, to
pass my examinations and grad
uate. But I'm trying to get a
job every day.
DAD CHOPPED WOOD
1.-THE Dad tells me how he used
to chop wood and earn money
when he was 10, but as we live
in an apartment house in a big
city, I don't see where I could
get wood to chop, unless
started in on the park trees.
Also, he didn't smoke. I haven't
any money to buy cigarettes,
but I take one if it's offered to
me.
THE Dads brother told me he
used to smoke tea and coffee in
a clay pipe. He was never
sassy: He never lodged going to
church. I look at his shoulder
blades sometimes to see if there
are any wing stumpS there, but
I haven't been able to find them.
"DISGUSTED."
One of the most tragic things
IN Cn1S world is the passionate
desire Of parents to be looked
up to and admired by their chill
dren. That's why father pom
tificates on his virtues, and
mother is given to murmuring
when I was a girl we didn't
do" this or that. And they
didn't do the things young peo-
pie consider right and proper
these days.
But Mother and Dad have
done the best they can for you
by sending you through high
school, and when you really
grow up and have children Of
your own, you'll probably paint
yourself as the model boy Of
your generation. I agree that
your dads attitude is difficult.

Like No. from Louise Bourbon.
which combines rich dark pur-

The brim of this hat folds
down against the hair at the
back, and the red velvet crown
is trimmed with a flower made
of white ermine.

Manners
ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
IT lost my husband about four
months ago. How long should
continue to wear mourning?
When should I wear second
mourning?
Should I wear my wedding
ring and my diamond engage.
ment ring? "S."
Today there aren't any def
mite rules about the wearing of
mourning, the type and the
length of time. It is wisely left
to the individual, and there is
far more leeway concerning it
than there used to be, when
most definite rules were pre-
Scribed.
For instance, formerly a widow
wore a long crepe veil for many
months after her husbands
death. Nowadays she usually
wears this sort of veil only to the
funeral, and then either dis
cards a veil altogether or wears
a very short face veil or a veil
only on the brim of her hat.
GENERAL RULE
In general, I suggest that you
wear black for about six or eight
months, and then for the rest
of the year tighten this first
mourning with touches of white,
a narrow lingerie collar, for in
stance.
And remember that all-white
is as "deep" mourning as all
black, and it is a relief to wearer
and observer, for both summer
wear and house wear.
A widow wears her wedding
ring always, even when she is in
the deepest mourning. She
ceases wearing her wedding ring
only if she decides to marry
again.
She may do as she wishes
about wearing her engagement
ring. She may wear it if she
wishes, or she may feel, as many
widows do, that the wearing Of
a diamond, even a diamond en-
gagement ring, is inappropriate
to mourning.

Children
Rearing Daughter
Pleasant Task
BY GLADYS BEvANS

An interested onlooker finally
let her curiosity get the better
Of her one day. She had been
watching mother and her little
girl, off and on during the sum.
mer and had decided that she
was pretty successful at her job.
The interested onlooker took
her courage in both hands and
proceeded with an informal ques-
tionnaire. It went something
like this:
@. How early did Patty &C
quire the dry habit? A. Why, I
really don't know.
@. What was your weaving
technique with her? A. Wean-
ing technique? I don't believe
I had any.
I'VE FORGOTTEN
Q. At what age did you ex-
pect her to dress herself COM
pletely? A. Why (hesitatingly)
I wish I could remember-ita all
came about so gradually that
I've forgotten when she really
reached the point where she
could do the whole job alone.
@. What did you use when she
refused to eat or made a fuss
over new foods? A. I didn't do
anything because we never had
any bother about food that I
remember.
@. What did you do when she
bit children or pushed them over
in that engaging fashion that
little children have? A. Oh!
Qaughing) Don't mention it.
1t brings to my mind a terrible
scene in a train when Paddy
almost bit through a finger of
an older little girl whom she
adored. What a good sport that
child was! And Patty didn't
mean a thing, but it hurt Just
the same. Such apologies and
regrets as went flying around!
JUST GREW UP
@. How did you . A. Please
-. . sound so stupid Don't
ask me another question. All I
seem to be able to say is, II don't
know" and II don't remember"
AS a matter of fact, as I look
back everything seemed to take
care of itself in due season. To
tell the truth, was interested in
my small daughter-I enjoyed
her so anu we did so many
things together that I don't be.
1ieve I thought a lot about all
those details.
Life was so full, and there
were so many things to do and
say and think, and places to go
to that I don't believe de-
liberately bothered much about
when she should do this or that.
1t was all part Of her gradually
growing older and more capable.

A luncheon dish, that is not
only pleasing to the palate, but
satisfactorily supplies the proper
proteins in the diet, is a cheese
souffle which 1 have included
in the luncheon menu.
Also I suggest that you try
the "little cakes" that I describe
below. The children will love
them.
CHEESE SOUFFLE
One tablespoon of butter
melted with three-quarters cup
of grated cheese, one-half cup
of water. Cook to a paste. Add
yolks of five eggs, one at time,
and q little paprika.
Beat well, and add five whites
Of eggs, beaten stiff. Place in
dish with water and bake in
oven for Is to 80 minutes.
LITTLE CAKES
Put into a bowl two cups Of
sifted flour, one whole egg and
the yolks of two eggs, one table
spoon Of sugar and two table
spoons of brandy. Knead we'll
into a stiff dough. When quite
firm, roll the dough out on a
busted pastry board and cut
into narrow strips.
Now tie each strip into a bow
or any small design. Carefully
lay them in the frying basket,
not too close together, and fry
in deep hot lard to a golden
color.
When done, sprinkle with
powdered sugar.
BAKED TONGUE WITH
CURRANT JELLY
Take a fresh beef tongue, and
cover with boiling water. Add
two stalks of celery, two bay
leaves, three carrots. When al
most tender, remove the skin,
trim and stick a teaspoon of
whole cloves into the tongue.
Place in buttered roasting pan,
dust with a little flour, pour
over a glass of currant jelly
which has been softened a little,
and cupful of raisins and cur.
rants mixed which have been
cooked in water.
Add the juice Of one lemon
and bake in a hot oven for Is
minutes.

Trim Slim Lines
Tops This Fall

Little frocks, neat and trim
and slim of line, are seen worn
by women who are evidently rev.
cling in clothes of more formal
aspect after a summer of cottons
and play clothes. There's the
dress of black silk jersey with
Shirring on the draped bodice;
its inky background is set off by
a wide girdle sash of red silk
jersey, with long, fringed tassels.
Then we like the ensemble
consisting of a frock, in very
lightweight sheer wooden in bot
tie green, with appliques Of vel
veteen around the neck to match
the little fitted jacket of green
velveteen.

A MOTHER LOOKS AT WAR

They said there would never be
another war-18 years ago, when
the world was running red with
blood, and echoing with the sobs
and prayers of hearted wom-
en-. That was war to end war,
they said; it was SO terrible that no
one would dare to start another
Eighteen years. Mother Earth has
not had time to spread a green cloak
over all the shell-torn fields; many
hearthstones still lie broken and
shattered. Soldiers who fought
that last "war to end wars" still live
with shattered brains and bodies for
which there will never be any heal
ing. And for each of these living
dead, as for each of the blessed
dead, there is broken home, a
broken heart.
No woman on earth hates war
more than l hate it-for | have not
only known the grief of every moth
er who has had sons go down to
death on the battlefield, but I have
endured the agony of seeing my fam
lily divided, my boys fighting each
other, fighting to kill-one with the
country of my birth, four with this
country which l love more than
ever loved my homeland. And l say
to you-I who know, who am call
ed the Mother of the American Le
gion-that war is the greatest curse
on earth. From it nothing, any
where, is safe.-Ernestine Schu-
