2oks the Mighty Hunter Going Get His Nose Out of Joint
Not Obliged
To Send
Present
Wedding Invitation
Does Not Require
Offering Gift
BY EMILY POST.

There is no more obligation TO
send presents in receiving an en-
graved invitation to be present at
the marriage in church than in re-
ceiving an announcement, and the
invitation is undeniably more friend
ly. 1t is true, however, that hand
written or verbally-given invitations
10 a little private church ceremony
would carry with them as much,
If not more, obligation to send, a
present than engraved invitations
to a reception. Many letters bring
up this question of invitations and
announcements, this particular one
today explaining: my brother
thinks it would be ridiculous to send
invitations to people when we know
even now they wouldn't be able to
come. He says invitations to these
people would certainly suggest bid
for presents"
So let me add to the comment
already made that whether the en-
graved words request your presence
in church or announce that mar
riage has taken place, there is no
more suggestion that you send
present in one instance than in the
other. II you accept an invitation
ito the house." you will probably
feel that you are expected to send
a present. But for that matter, you
will feel exactly the same about
sending a present to a near relative
or an intimate friend whether you
are able to go to the wedding or
not.
Dear Mrs. Post: Do you think 1t
unsuitable to have two young per-
sons-a boy and girl, both aged 12-
walk together in the wedding pro-
cession? The girl is the brides only
sister and the boy is her cousin
both counting on taking part in
some way.
Answer-If they were little chill
dren, it would be charming to have
them walk up the aisle hand in
hand. But II is really too old for
them to do this. They would look too
much like bridesmaid and an usher,
| NAllNll 40 mas NAOAASs Az pNNAiS
to me the best thing would be to
have the girl a junior bridesmaid,
and if there is no one else TO walk
with her, she could lead the brides
maids. The boy could take the
ribbons down and fasten them Just
before the brides mother is to be
seated. Or If he is big for his age,
he might be an usher If you can
provide some one TO walk with
him. A lone usher looks very aWk.
ward and out of place.
Dear Mrs. Post: How soon after
my husbands death may let my
little girl begin practicing her music
lessons?
Answer-Music lessons would be
rated the same as any other les
sons. That is, she begins her music
lessons just as soon as she goes back
to school-which may be imme-
diately.

served on toast, with jelly. How
ever, if they are very small, think
they are better roasted, as follows:
Dress the birds, clean them well,
lard and truss. Place them on rack
in shallow pan, rub them well with
butter and salt. Dredge them lightly
with flour and surround with slices
of fat salt pork. Bake for Is to 20
minutes In O. hot oven, basting
three or four times. Remove the
strings and skewers, sprinkle with
lemon juice and serve OH hot, but
tered toast. Melted currant or grape
jelly should be poured over the birds
just before they are brought to the
table.
CASSEROLE OF QUAIL.
Pluck, clean, draw and split eight
plump quail, and lard them with
bacon. Roast them in a hot oven
for five minutes. Combine two
small carrots, chopped: one small
onion, chopped: one tablespoon but
ter, one tablespoon minced parsley,
three sliced green peppers, minus
seeds. Stew one large can of toma-
toes, with one tablespoon celery
salt, one teaspoon onion salt, a
pinch OF sugar, salt and pepper, for
10 minutes. Blend two tablespoons
melted butter with one tablespoon
flour and cook until boiling. Rub
tomatoes with a sieve and pour into
the flour and butter mixture. Cook
until thickened. Combine with car
rots, onions, etc, listed above, and
pour over quail. Cover casserole,
and cook until quails are tender:
usually 20 minutes is long enough.
WILD TURKEY.
Wild turkeys average about IL
pounds for the young toms. Prepare
the bird the same as for domestic
turkey, using any good stuffing,
such as oyster, chestnut, mushroom
or sausage. Stuff the bird, truss,
and place in a roasting pan. Pour
one and half cups grapejuice over
it into the pan and roast in a mod
erately slow oven for 20 to Is minutes
to the pound. Basic every 20
minutes with the Juice in the pan.
When done, remove turkey to hot
serving platter; thicken the liquid
in pan with a mixture of flour and
water (two tablespoons flour to one
cup liquid. Garnish turkey with
celery tops, and serve with gravy
passed separately. Currant jelly Is
better than cranberry with wild
turkey.
WOODCOCK.
Most epicures don't permit wood
cocks to be drawn-but that's up
to you. Split and blanket the birds
with slices Of fat salt pork or bacon.
and broil them at a moderate heat
for Is minutes, turning frequently.
Serve on toast with melted currant
jelly poured over them-one bird
to person.

faces are slightly Drowned and pour
over the meat the contents of /
glass of currant jelly, 2 wine glasses
Burgundy or Medoc, 70 pound but
ter, salt and pepper to taste. Let
meat simmer in this mixture for
about 6 to 10 minutes, depending
upon whether you prefer rare or
done meat. Turn and baste con-
stantly. Serve Immediately with
liquid from the pan passed in a
gravy boat.
ROAST HAUNCH OF VENISON.
Prepare much as you would a leg
OF lamb, except that the oven should
be very hot, and the meat should
be roasted 10 minutes to the pound.
Doe veniSon will require less cook
ing than the buck. To prevent the
hoof from changing color in the
heat, wrap with thick slices of fat
salt pork. Basic the roast every
10 minutes at first with melted
butter and then with pan drippings,
when half done, turn on other side
for thorough cooking. Unbind hoof
when done, cover with paper frill,
and serve the haunch with water
cress and currant jelly.
SADDLE OF vENISON.
Skin meat neatly and remove all
sinews from the surface. Lard
closely with strips of fat, so that
when done the larding resembles
lacing all down the back. Wind
white string three times around the
saddle to keep it in shape. Place
one sliced carrot and one sliced
onion in the roasting pan, and rest
saddle on top of them. Sprinkle
lightly with salt, and spread melted
butter over all. Roast a five-pound
saddle for 40 minutes in a hot oven,
unbind cord and serve with the
following gravy:
Thicken juices left in the pan with
a little flour Drowned in butter.
Add u cup port wine and one glass
currant jelly. Simmer all together
until jelly is melted and serve in a
SaucebDat.
ROAST PHEASANT.
Pluck, clean and dress birds. OF
there are any nice feathers, stick
them in your hat) Lard the breasts
OF the birds heavily with fat bacon,
truss, place in roaster and roast
for 80 to 40 minutes as you would
chicken, basting frequently with
butter and pan juices. Remove
bacon before serving the birds with
bread sauce, Drowned bread crumbs
and guava jelly.
GROUSE.
Pluck, clean, remove pinions and
If tough, the skin covering the
breast. Lard the breast well and
insert two lardoons in each leg.

Report Card
Is Harmful
At Times
Teachers Cannot
Analyze Child
Thoroughly
By ANGELO PATRI.

Children are never as perfect
as their teachers, yet their par
ents expect them to be. They, be-
ing children, and as yet undevel-
oped human beings, fall short Of
adult standards in many ways and
quite naturally. Why should they
be expected to be 100 per cent?
Why do parents who never got 100
per cent any time, any where, de-
mand it of their children? Yet
they do, and so do teachers.
Parents ought to have a report
from the school every so often so
that they can have some idea of
how their children are doing, what
they are learning, what success they
are having, and what they need
In the way of help. The old card
that said satisfactory" or .unsat-
isfactory" left great gaps through
which failing children, disinterest-
ed parents and helpless teachers
could slip easily and unconscious
ly. The card that analyzes the
child minutely, in so items on char
acter alone, is even more impos-
sible.
How can teacher who meets
q pupil daily for five busy hours
know that much about child? And
how could she find the time to
study him so minutely, or to write
out those 50-odd items conscien-
tiously month by month? Does a
child t,, ~,
month? Each day? Not at all?
When and how is the teacher to
keep such minute watch as that?
Imagine the effect card of this
kind has on the failing child. He
looks down the long row of red
marks. He sees himself charted
as failure again and again. He
Is untidy, noisy, non-cooperative,
lacks initiative, ETC., down the list.
He feels himself naked to his enc
mics. No help for such a one as
he.
And what happens to him after
he gets that card? His family are
disgusted with him. So is the
teacher. He is scolded, maybe beat
en-. That's the result of the whole
tedious business. Much of what
was recorded in red ink on that
card was but the expression of his
stage of growth.
He viii grow and If he is we'll
taught and trained, he will become
as useful and as intelligent an adult
as his father or mother or teacher.
If every stage OF their development
had been posted on a card or on
the town hall walls, would they
have been any the better for it,
or as good as they are today?
Some of these new report cards
are too much for the teacher and
for the pupil, too. The successful
pupil needs no such analysis. The
unsuccessful one should be ana
1yzed by his teacher, his records
kept privately and provision made
for his growth through treatment
and wise guidance.
Records look good in the cabi-
nets and they sound well in con-
ferences, but unless they function
for the good of the pupil they
might better go down the chute
today.

"UeIy DuokIine" Tells
Anderson's Own Story

THE story of the Ugly Duck
ling" pictured on the Danish
stamp, above. honoring Hans
Christian Anderson, was the au-
thor's own life history, told in a
fairy tale.
This story tells of a little swan
ling, Matched in a flock of ducks,
despised by the mother duck and
all the little ducks for its uncom-
mon ugliness and difference in
looks and manners from them
selves. Only at the last does the
little duckling learn he is really a
beautiful swan, admired by all.
Hans Christian Anderson was an
ugly duckling. He was poor, COM
paratively uneducated, far from
handsome. He lived in a land Of
fantasy, imagining himself an &C
tor, later writing plays. People
laughed at him, even after he
achieved some success.
His fairy tales brought him
fame and, like the duckling, peo-
pie admired him; his home town
was illuminated in his honor. His
fame continued 10 spread, after his
death, and today the entire world
remembers the ugly duckling" ss
