Juliet Corson was largely RESPONSE
bic for the introduction of the study

published her book "a Dietary for
Schools" which she had prepared at
the request of the United States COM
missioner of education.

THE fees at the New York Cooking
School for Ladies, Miss Corson's
school. varied according to the flnan-
cial status Of the student. Rich peo.
pie paid high fees, those in moderate
circumstances. so cents lesson and
those unable to pay anything received
the lessons without the payment of
any fees.
The courses, each one Of IL lessons,
followed the Corson Cooking School
Text Book and Housekeeper's Guide
and were designed to meet the needs
Of four groups of students.
The first artisan course was for the
young daughters Of working people
who wished to add variety to their
daily fare without increasing its cost.
The second artisan course was intend
ed for the grown daughters and wives
of workingmen who could afford to
vary their daily fare at a moderate ex-
pense. The plain cooks course met
two requirements-those of young
housewives beginning married life IN
comfortable circumstances and those
of domestics wishing to take service in
families where the table was nice,
without being expensive. The ladies'
course was planned for the ladies de-
string to combine some of the ele-
gancies of artistic cookery with those
Of economical interest which it was
the duty of every housewife to study.
Despite the demands upon her time
for lecturing. teaching and writing,
Miss Corson found time to do a great
deal Of research. As a result of this
research, she was given the only award
for scientific cookery and sanitary
dietetics at the World Fair in Chicago
in 1892. Miss Corson died in 1897.
The continuing interest in the cook
cry and sewing" of Juliet Corson's first
school is indicated by the annual en-
rollment at the rresent time of over
380, 1000 women and girls in the home
economics departments throughout
this country.

WHAT we said yesterday about
" brows being very much in evi-
dence under the new hair styles applies
to foreheads too. Sweet young things
may continue to conceal the forehead
under heavy Sarah Bernhardt fringe,
but their sense Of foresight should
prompt them to keep the forehead so
satin-smooth, free from wrinkles or
blemishes, so beautiful, in fact, that
the forehead can do peek-a-boo into
| full view at combs flick.
The sweeping upward vogue leaves
brows and forehead .ntirely in view.
In spite Of its dignity and formahty,
it is essentially youthful style casting
every feature into relief. A firm, fair,
| f1awless face can stand it. And a
beautiful forehead is worth revealing.
II the forehead is not too high, II it

those tiny little blemishes which have
a way of parking on the forehead even
if they don't settle on any other part
OF the face-if, as I say, the forehead
Is smooth and clear and well nodded,
! by all means show it off
Speaking of those little blemishes.
If the hair is very oily the contact of
the hair on the forehead may cause the
blemshes. So-if your hair is oily
proceed to treat it. and in the mean
time leave it of the forehead. Also,
when giving your face treatment be
sure to include the forehead. Many
women really slip up out of fear of
getting cream or soap on the hair at
the hairline. This is obviated II a
headband Is worn. These headbands
| are 1nexpensive-or a piece of gauze
| or linen will do. Fasten it securely
and push it up on the forehead until
the bottom covers the very tip of the
hairline.
This headband will do two things

surface for your facial treatment and

rule the forehead, nose and chin are
tne oily sections of the face and do not
need cream. In case of wrinkles.
smooth the cream over the forehead,
Then remove the excess with tissues
and pat with an astringent.
When powdering, be sure to include
the forehead too. Pat the powder on
generously, then smooth away the ex-
cess. Again-wear your headband to

For the little blemishes, apply zinc

Coaxing and Patience

BY ANGELO PATRI.


THESTER was sitting on the curb
stone, weeping as though his heart
must break. Miss Marianne bent over
him, all solicitude. What IS the
matter, Chester? Are you sick? Are
you hurt2 Why do you cry like this?"
"Oh," sobbed the little mourner, II
have so many troubles I have to sit
down and cry about them"
Chester was weepy child. He wept
in season and out, for a good reason
and for none at all. He thought some
body was talking bad" about him. He
was afraid that Jimmy didn't like him.
Brother hit him. He didn't like
cereal. He was afraid of meeting
Donahue's dog. He felt like crying.
In vain his mother called him cry
baby. In vain she tried to put hope
and courage into him. Finally she
asked the specialist about him. He
examined Chester thoroughly, tested
him in every way known to specialist
and said, IF there is anything more
the matter with him than fearful
temperament T cannot find it today.
He just isn't built for rough weather
You will have to shelter him bit and
grandually thicken his skin by meas
ured exposures to life as it comes his
way"
1t won't do to call such children
cry babies. The don't mind, and it
gives them right good reason for
crying. They have been abused, so
tears are justified And they have to
be protected somewhat. Some people,
especially fathers, say. "Oh. throw him
out and let him fight his battles along
with the rest OF the boys" That won't
do either. 1t Is like throwing the
frightened child into the water to
teach him not to be afraid of it.
Take him past Donahue's and
gradually get him to see that ToWser
is gentle and wants to be his friend.
Don't make him 60 upstairs in the
dark without light. Let him turn
on the light as he goes. Don't let
the other children tease him. Give
him breathing spells by keeping him
by himself for periods daily. Quiet
strengthens his nerves, and a brief
rest wards off fatigue. Fatigue is
his greatest enemy. Early bedtimes
are in order, too.
When he cries because he feels
like crying for his troubles" say very
cheerfully, "Oh, that's all right. Here
Is a big handkerchief. You go right
in there and cry all you like. That's
all right. When you feel better come
back. Wash your face first. Don't let
anybody see you crying, but cry as
much as ever you like. It's all right"
He won't cry long if you do that
Staying by himself, with full per-
mission to weep, is not just what he
wants. He does want an audience,
some sympathy, even little scolding
would help. Don't give him his de-
sires this time. Just let him alone and
he will recover faster.
Usually such children are under
weight. That. too, is problem. We
find that feeding them five times a
day, lightly, is better than forcing
them to eat more than they want
three times a day. Keep cheerful
Save them from the worst bumps.
They recover in time.

BY EMILY POST.
THIS is the fifth column under the

THIS is tine fifth column under the
above heading. which teachers
asked me to print regularly each
week:
IL am writing for our local high
school group of the well-known Girl
Reserve Organization. Every year we
give some kind of party, usually a
small dance to which each girl invites
a special boy. One of the members
has suggested turning the occasion
this year into theater party on
Saturday afternoon with tea after
wards somewhere. Do yo; think this
plan is all right and how would you
suggest that we take care OF the
money complication because we would
not like to embarrass the boys by pay
ing their way noticeably?
Answer-I think the plan is not
only practical. but would be pleas
ant change from the usual dance.
You, of course, have your tickets in
advance and you all go to where tea
has already been ordered and paid for.
When you invite the boys, I think it
would be very we'll to tell them that
the club has taken tickets and is
giving the tea This makes it plain
to each boy that he is merely to go
with the girl who Is inviting him.
2-Quite a long time ago asked
an older man to small dance my
aunt is giving for me soon. I met
this man at the house of girl friend
on several occasions, as he is friend
of her brother. When spoke about
my dance to him. he said that he
would be in the South at that time.
Yesterday he telephoned and said he
would like to come since he got back
before he had expected to. told my
aunt and she seemed very much dis
pleased and said she would not send
an invitation to him because she |
not like him. nat shall I do since
I cannot deliberately tell him I've
changed my mind about wanting him,
can I?
Answer-It seems to me that on this
one occasion it would be utterly i'm
possible not to send him an invita-
ton. Ask your aunt whether she
wants you to tell him FRANKLY that
she won't have him. This is really
your only alternative to telling him
to come. OF course, If you were CIV
ing a dinner, 1t would be 81 rle
enough since you could tell him that
the places were all filled. But the |
number Of extra men asked to dance

Dorothy Dix Says
Husbands and Wives Should Be Able
to Stand Criticism.

and leave it to strangers who do not
have to live with them to tell them of
their faults.
It is. however, pity that hus-
bands and wives no more dare criti-
ci2e each other than they do to
place a stick of dynamite under
their hearthstone, for thereby they
not only hamper their own improve
ment but they throw away their
chance of adapting themselves to
each other, which makes more for
the success of a marriage than any
other one thing.
u x
MANY highly educated women, for
instance, marry men Of fine
minds and great natural talents but
who have not had many advantages
of early association or much school
ing. What help to these men it
would be, how much ridicule it would
save them from others if only they
would accept in good part their wives
correction of their grammar and pro-
nunciation.
Similarly, many cultured men who
have always moved in the most re-
fined society marry girls who come
from plain families who know Moth
ing of the ways of the world into
which their husbands take them, who
could save themselves infinite humili-
alton if they would only listen when
their husbands try to teach them how
to dress, how to enter room, how even
to eat. But no. The flrst-time wife or
husband ventures even a suggestion,
husband and wife flare up and as
sert that their mates are ashamed OF
them and there is such row that the
cricket on the hearth never chirpS
again.
Marriage is ruined for many people
by their husbands and wives having
irritating little ways that get on each
others nerves. Now not many people
willfully do things to offend those
with whom they must live. They sin
through ignorance and not through
malice. What pity, then, that the
wife whose every meal is spoiled by
her husbands gargling his soup or
doing the sword-swallowing act can't
tell him about it without mortally
insulting him. And how sad it is that
a husband can't tell his wife that it
gives him the heebegeebies to have
her use his brush and leave hair in it.
and that her habit of never putting
the top back on the toothpaste tube
is driving him to drink, and warn
her that her choice in millinery is
causing him to look at other women.
Perhaps human nature, and espe-
cially married human nature will have
to be made over before husbands and
wives can take criticism from each
other. But they are losing mighty
good bet BY not doing 1t.
