other dish. Try cooking the ground
meat as hamburger steak, or spread
it on buttered toast and broil it, or
make it into meat balls and serve
with spaghetti.
Vegetables can be changed on
their second appearance at the table
If they are served with some kind
of sauce-such as cream sauce,
cheese sauce, or hollandaise sauce.
Small heads of cabbage and cauli-
flower cannot always be purchased,
and even a bunch of carrots or beets
may sometimes be too large. But
these vegetables are all suited for
use as hot vegetable one day, and
as a salad the next.
Desserts must also be planned
definitely for the family Of two.
Puddings and custards are easily
adapted to family of any size. But
If you want pie, you can make in
dividual pastry shells and put differ
ent kinds of filings in them on
different days. Or bake a cake in
cup-cake tins. Serve the cup cakes
with sliced fruit and whipped cream
one day, and with simple icing or
sauce on another day.

Reading Mail
Belonging
To Child
According to Code
Of Thoroughbred,
It Is Not Done
By EMILY POST.

In contrast to the typical descrip-
tions Of parents made helpless BY
any one of the unending list OF
charges brought against willful
youth, . letter in my mail this
morning almost made me turn to
the postmark, to see If the date
might not be that of q century ago!
The writer is 4 15-year -old girl who
complains that every time a letter
comes to the house addressed to her,
her father insists upon reading It.
On occasion, when the mail arrives
In his presence, he even opens and
reads her letter before handing 1t it
to her. 1T isn't that object to his
seeing what my friends have writ
ten," she says, but it's so humiliat-
Ing to be suspected this way"
AS I have already said, the letter
Is so far behind the modern picture
that one would have to 60 to another
age-or at least to another century,
to match it. 1t may be, of course.
that her father has cause which he
at least believes justifies his be-
havior. And can hardly take it
upon myself to agree with a child
that her fathers behavior is wrong!
On general principles, however, I
can certainly say that the higher
our social training, the more fas-
tldiouS our taste, the more exactinR
are We to our right to privacy. Only
In prison or under the exactions of
the censorship of war is violation of
privacy excusable. Even a very
young child learns to respect the
rights Of others through having his
own rights acknowledged and re-
spected. A child too young to read
should be asked, May I read this
to you?" One old enough to read.
reads whatever is sent him. Ac.
cording to the code of a thorough.
bred, May I read it?" is as far as
authority goes!
Dear Mrs. Post: NY husband
and I received some Scotch and
soda glasses as Christmas present.
The glasses have monogram of my
husbands three initials. I feel that
If the glasses were to be marked at
all, this should have been with my
initials, the way all our other things
are marked, too. My husband feels,
however, that perhaps this is not the
case about glasses to be used for
drinks. What is your opinion?
Answer-I agree with your hus-
band that these particular glasses
are more suitably marked with his
initials. The same is true of any
other glasses that are used for drinks
yet do not belong in the category Of
wineglasses with which a dinner
table is correctly set.

Other interest is found In wide
heels which look like wedges with
out taking their actual form. and
those which are slightly squared in
the back for more interest. There
has been some talk from New York
on the subject of laced-up-the- back
types, but we hardly think that
Washington women will be troubled
with that little performance.
Detailing: A definite leaning to-
ward contrasting materials such as
patent and suede, patent and reptile
and other duos, seems sure to make
shoes this season more interesting
and unusual. Open shanks and
other treatments of similar type lend
interest, as does stitching and ap-
pliqued colors, often in rainbow
effect.
Question and answer department:
In reply to the number of people
who have asked us, we'd like to tell
them that it's safe to count on open
toes and closed heels this season.
True enough. there will very likely
be some open back shoes shown,
but there won't be enough to worry
about. It's going to be something
closely akin to blessing not to see
heels Tapping up and down in time
to click-clack on the sidewalk
An about wall lasts, those squared
effects which came out with a bang
last season and somehow did not
take as well as had been hoped.
They're here again, and strongly.
For the most part they're to be seen
in spectator styles. although a num-
ber of dress shoes have the modified
square-toe effect, which manages to
fiatter the foot nicely.
That's the advance story for
spring and what with Easter COM
ing mighty early This year, it's not
such mad idea to look over the
lines already in stock More
news will surely come later. includ-
ing the outstanding new colors and
accepted trends At which time,
never fear, we will be only too happy
to shout about it all. :.

pattern, are also capable of providing
colorful touches. For instance, there
Is a black patent sandal with red
snakeskin heel and front trimming.
Another interesting development Is
the extensive use of suede as an
all-year- round fabric in almost
every color. Suede used in COM
bination with reptile, patent leather
and other materials may be ex-
pected. and we've never seen so
much brown.
Silhouette: AS usual, there is
great interest in the pump-fash-
ions darling and always the chief
player in the drama of shoes. Elias
ticlzed fabrics have made many
pumps AS comfortable and snug
fitting as the slip-on, and this elas-
ticized treatment used at the sides
of an open shank brown patent
pump made one of the best-looking
dress shoes seen recently. The
sandal is due for great popularity,
and. of course. the always COM

So" this department still feels a
slight twings of superiority on the
subject of wedges Way back last
spring we wrote about and pictured
some of these wedge soles and ven-
tured boldly to predict that women
would take to them for every occa-
sion. AS it happened, they didn't,
but from the looks of things the
story is going to be slightly differ
ent in 1910. Wedges are being sold
in Southern play shoes, they're ap-
pearing in patent and gabardine for
street wear, and their popularity for
evening really seems to be the fac
tor which has contributed more than
any other to their adoption :.
Wedge shoes this season have higher
heels. too, a significant reason for
their increased favor. They're COM
Portable, definitely oot-shortening

think-to play an important part.

dinner with an old friend, or smok-
ing a cigarette, because she disap-
proves OF tobacco"
I think the explanation of why
husbands submit to being hen
pecked is because of the fear they
have of women's tongues. They
would rather stand up before a
firing squad than before nagging
wife 1t is easier to give in to Maria
and let her have her way than it is
to fight with her over it. They
would rather drink weak coffee for
breakfast than listen to harangue
every morning of their lives over
how bad coffee is for their stomachs.
They would rather punch the home
time-clock on the dot than endure a
curtain lecture about their unpunc-
tuality. And some men suffer a
martyrdom from tyrannical wives
because they are too good sports to
WEIGH on a bad bargain.
Dear Miss Dix: I am a girl of
l6 and have been having trouble
with my mother over her silly pun
ishments of me when I displease
her. For instance, I had invited.
with her permission new girl
friend to dinner. The night before
this girl was coming my mother
didn't like something did. so she
punished me by making me phone
her on the very day that she was
coming that I couldn't see her.
Another time I had invited three
boys and girls for the evening. They
were coming at o'clock and about
7 o'clock had an argument with
my mother and she made me phone
them not to come. This kind of
punishment not only makes me mad,
but 1t spoils the evenings of other
people. Do you think my mother
Is fair to me?
Answer-No. I don't I think she
is extremely cruel to humiliate you
before your friends and to put you
in such an awkward position with
them.
If she feels called upon to punish
you for some infraction of her rules,
she might at least take some method
of dealing with you that would
save your face. She might well con-
slider how she would like it if, after
she had invited group OF her
friends to dinner, your father made
her call 1t all off because he had
got peeved with her for something
Anyway, l6-year-old girl is not
a child. She Is amenable to reason,
and the way to reach her is not
by doing something to her that will
lower her in the eyes Of her COM
panions, but by talking to her
tenderly and sympathetically and
trying to get her point of view and
meet 1t with mother love.

Dorothy Dix Says
Women Should Remember Tyranny
In Home Endanaers Marriage

A bachelor who, on account Of his
unmarried state, admits that the
ways of husbands and wives are a
mystery which he cannot fathom
wants to know why so many men
are afraid OF their wives.
He says: Il used to think, when I
heard a man saying yes ma am to
his wife and saw him jump when she
spoke to him that he was a poor
weak creature who lacked both
brains and backbone. But I have
known too many brilliant men and
too many brave ones not to have
found out that that is not true. and

talker, with broad and well-consid-
cred opinions, whom every one is

on every subject. You would think
a man like that would be the head
OF his house, wouldn't you? That
he would settle the domestic prob
lens about where they would live.
how much money they could afford
to spend; that he would decide
about how the children should be
brought up and how they should be
educated and so on.
But does he? Not bit OF it,

She is raising the children up to be

to save them. You would think Jim
was a softie whom anybody could
run over. but he isn't. In business
he is little on the cocky side and
a stern disciplinarian with our
employees.
