vt is a curious thing that parents
do not seem to realize that they
mold their children's estimate of
i each other and that Junior and
Sally take them at their mothers S
and fathers valuation.
Mothers and fathers literally write
each others price tags. If a woman
looks up to her husband and regards
him as the embodiment of wisdom
and an ideal of manhood, he will
always be an oracle and pattern to
his children. If a man admires his
wife and puts her on pedestal, her
children will adore her and burn in
cense before her as long as they live.
But if a woman constantly belittles
her husband and harps upon his
faults and weaknesses before the chill
dren. they will never see him as any
thing but as poor makeshift OF a
man for whom they have contempt
and whose opinions are not worth
considering.
Likewise, II a man always derides
his wife's views and tells her that she
doesn't know what she is talking about
and criticizes everything she does,
the children grow up in the settled
belief that she is moron. Good, but
dumb. One of the feminine nitwits
who never find out what it is all about
and to whose ideas it would be silly
to pay any attention.
Parents are always complaining OF
the lack of respect with which their
children treat them ana beWalllng
how little influence they have ever
their Youngsters. They blame the
children for this, but the fault Is
theirs. not the children's. Every child
begins by adoring its father and mother
and considering them infallible.
Every little boy likes to boast that
his father is the strongest man IN the
world. Every little girl likes to brag
about how beautiful her mother is
and what pretty clothes she has. Pride
of parentage is one of the Fundamental
passions of the human heart. Chill
dren would go on reverencing Their
fathers and mothers if only father
didn't make them see what a poor
weak creature mother is. and mother
didn't keep the spotlight trained or
fathers every weakness.

be chilled on frosty crystal-and don
let them skimp on the parsley! The
prettier things are, the more you are
going to eat.
And now, just what will you have
to eat, exactly? Well, perhaps q cup
of steaming hot clam broth, to which
half as much tomato juice has been
added, with a spoonful OF whipped
cream floating on top. Melba toast
with this, followed by deliciously
cooked breast of chicken, with drawn
butter and parsley poured over it. Peas
or baby lima beans with this, unless
you can persuade your best beau to
send you a tiny bunch of hot house
asparagus instead of flowers. For
dessert a perfectly chilled caramel
custard that will take you back to
your favorite restaurant in Paris!
Then there are sweetbreads. They
may be creamed on toast, of course
but why not broil them on a long
skewer, with bits of bacon between the
pieces? Start this meal off with a
frosty tomato juice cocktail and serve

like other men. or his miseriness, or
his bossiness without regarding him
as a weakling. or a tightwad, or a
tyrant. because that is the picture
mother has fixed in their minds.
Nor can children see their father
treat their mother with contempt,
hear him deride her every idea and
speak to her with lack of courtesy
he would not show even a servant
without coming to feel that she is
a person of no importance, fit only
to be drudge, and that she rates no
consideration. That is the way their
father has taught them to .egard their
mother.
Hence it is not surprising that so
few parents are heroes to their chill
dren, or that children do not turn to
their parents for advice and guidance.
Their fathers and mothers have taught
them to despise them. They havs
pushed over the household gods ana
showed the children that they no
only had feet of clay but were mad
of mud. And the children see nothin
in them to worship. They have be

Cooking Hints.

Add half cup OF boiled rice TO
your regular waffie recipe if you want
to serve waffies with creamed fish or
chicken. Cooked corn may also be
used in such manner.
Never melt chocolate directly over
a fire, since it is easily burned. Put 1t
in the oven or melt it over pan Of
hot water.
Use individual paper cups for hold
ing mixtures to be frozen in me-
chanical refrigerator. They not only
save time in freezing, but they are
easier to serve and also save dish
washing.

be Interestingly cut both back and
front, and trimmings must be unusual,
even silly, to please the fancy of
"fifteen" and seventeen" And if the
frocks carry amusing names like High
Stopper" Jack Sprat" and Sweet
Adeline," so much the better.
A certain blond young lady, very
"junior miss herself. and with an
eagle eye for smart clothes, decided a
few years ago to design just the kind
that she knew young girls want to
wear. She believed that the Junior
miss should have clothes that express
youth in much more emphatic terms
than most dresses that are designed
for that age and size. She expert
mented a little and all of a sudden
found herself a successful designer
with a whole batch of new ideas, in
cluding the wooden dolls that she uses
for models.
CHE does not follow the dictates Of
~ Paris, and in fact, is not even al
lowed to spend much time browsing
around in New York for fear of being
influenced by something that will de-
tract from the great originality of her
own creative genius. She believes in
simplicity with a dash of spice. She
likes wide belts on slender walstllneS
with perfectly enormous buckles, or
else no belts at all. Buttons are either
conspicuously large or very tiny.
Waistlines are always high. Baby
lace is a favorite trimming and so Is
velvet ribbon. She calls her skirts
that flare from the knees flip skirts. "
Aren't the wooden dolls perfectly
adorable? All their joints are movable
and their yarn hair is in many weird
colors. But the dresses are true min
iature reproductions of frocks which
we're modelled at fashion show given
this week in local shop.
The favored materials in this COL
lection for daytime dresses were plain
crepes, thin r-0olens and prints. A
good example of plain crepe is a two
piece frock of a reddish earth shade
with a standing collar of white EN-.
broidery banding, With an aqua velvet
ribbon bow at the front. The three
quarter length sleeves were finished
with a cuff and bow to match the
collar. This is High Stopper"

NANK1NG. October 9.-The city Of
Nanking itself has not been bombed
much of late. Ordinarily We might
think that the strong protests from
other nations against these outrages
had effected change OF heart at Toxic
were it not for the unfortunate and
tragic news pouring in on us at head
quarters OF the daily and systematic
destruction along railroad lines lead
ing into Marking and the bombing Of
isolated towns around us.
Thirty civilians, including women
and children were blown to bits and
hundreds wounded Thursday morning
at Hainchow near Whampoa. The
casualties in several other villages in
the vicinity of Canton. which were
bombed have not been fully reported
to us at headquarters. About so pas
sengers aboard an express train bound
for Shantung were killed and manned
while the train was standing at the
Wuseih Station on the ShanRhai-Nan-
king Railway.
Two passengers. as we'll as many
wounded. were the casualties at a
similar bombing at Likuoyeh on the
Tainpu Railway. The same thing
happened at Yuchon and Pingyuan in
Northwest Tainan.
The station at Chufu. which is the
birthplace Of Confucius, was again
bombed with destruction of many cR-
ilians. Hauchowfu junction was
bombed Thursday and yesterday as
part OF Japan's constant effort to de-
stroy our transportation system.
I'his same systematic bombing of
rail and stations occurred at Tainan
and Taingtao, and at Tenghsien and at
Honan 20 bombs were dropped, in
volving refugees on a train. Most of
these escaped ic-stricken. but five
were killed, eight wounded and MANY
became shell-shocked before they could
get out Of the range of the explosions.
The technique being adopted by
these flying destroyers Is to bomb the
stations and use machine guns above
on moving trains with no respect be-
Ing paid to the nature of the trains.

toward the living, now they are train
