THE YOUNG DAUGHTER
Great Tact and Patience Are Required to Male the
Wheels Go Round.
' ty dear. 1 am so worried about my
)t '(t daughter," one harased mail on
confided to another lately. "She diwsn't
teem to have ,nn Idea beyond young men
and clothes Just how' t am qulto nt my
wits' end to know what lo do! Indeed,
I've talked to ner till I'm tired!"
Why, what did you say?" said the
other. In her calm, pleasant voire
"I told her that 1 would not allow her
to wear such dreadfully loud clothe?,
and that I was utterly ashamed of her!
The other morning t found her seated
at the ulnrion, smiting to nil the hlgn
school boys as they p.tssed. And tn my
knowledge she didn't know nne of them!
Yes, shr was sitting there making eyes
at each and all of them Indiscriminately,
and llterall beaming! No, don't laugh, It
wasn't at all fiinii ! ? told llcr how
perfectly disgusted I was, too'"
'How old Is .-our daughter?" the other
(aid.
'Just sixteen," was the answer." and
quite old enough to know better a t told
her. Tour daughters seem such attrac
tive, ladylike girls. Do tell me how you
manasro with them."
The second paused meditatively, then
tal'l: "I am very, very careful of their
feelings, to begin with. No matter how
foolishly they may have acted, 1 al
ways remember that they are young, and
that only .ears can bring wisdom' If
I were you I should not have spokpn

is Just the network to hold together the
starch and salts, which are really held
In solution In the vegetable or plant

Now, with this Idea clearly In mind,
think of hoillng a vegetable In a quan
tity of water-say, three quarts. The
tolling bursts the starch granules as
well ns cooks them, softens the cellu
lose and releases the mineral salts, which
pass off into tho water.
It we "drain" our vegetables In the
common matter we throw away those
three qtmits of water In which are dis
solved tho most valuable constituents of
any ft uit or egetnblp. What we have
left Is a residue of starch with the cellu
lose fibres. It Is tru that the fibres

staicdi represents a certain amount of
definite food material.

the phosphates, these nrp nil wasted
w hen wo commit the great American sin
of throwing away water In which vege
tables have boiled.
We can get the same amount of starch
from other foods llko grain, and the
fibres of tho vegftables are the least Im
portant part. The main function of the
vegetable Is to furnish to the body those
chemical constituents which are partic
ularly needed to adequately develop
heat, other bones and to purify tho blood.
Now, this practice Is not necessary. It
Is simply duo to carelessness, haphazard
methods of Ignorant workers who never

Ing as on pint The proper way Is to
cook tho egetable in Just sufficient wa

this small quantity In some kind of sauce
so ns to conserve it Others may utilize
vegetable water In soups, as is commonly
done abroad, and as a basis for stock.

This accounts for the fact that vegeta

To go on with the list again, there
Is baby lamb and sealskin for coats, hats,
muffs and collars and for banded trim

the loveliest things In tho world for tho
debutante with a complexion of her own,
and lovely, too, for babies.
Raccoon must not be omitted from tho
list of fashionable furs, ndr can opossum

The furs pictured today arc sealskin

Tho barrel muff Is not ln evidence hero,
possibly because the lltch shows to bet

A wholo animal Is used and is held In

The little animal looks caught and trnpped

Joys the distinction of being the first of
her sex to act ns an Assistant United
States District Attorney, has Just taken
up her duties under John W. Preston,
United States Attorney for the Northern
! District of California.
Mrs. Adams did not win her appoint
ment easily. Several months ago, when
Preston took office he sent to United
States Attorney MoBeynolds the names
of Mrs. Adams and three men whom he
wanted appointed his assistants. Mc
j Reynolds held up the name of Mrs.
' Adams, although President Wilson fa
1 vored the appointment. Later 'when Mo
Reynolds was elevated to tho Supreme
I Bench and Watt Gregory appointed to
hla place, Mrs. Adams' name was brought
up again. Gregory saw no reason why a
woman should not be a Federal prose
cutor, bo appointed her.
Mrs. Adams has been assigned to crim
inal work.
"I have never pleaded before a Jury
In a big case," said Mrs Adams,
"and am anxious for the experience. I
have done considerable work In prepar

practice has been chiefly In the Superior

Mrs. Adams was admitted to the bar

Once upon a time that most delight
ful of writers, Max O'ltell, made nn
amusing after-dinner speech on tho sub
ject of wifely Independence and wifely
submlsslveness as perceived by himself In
different countries. In pursuance of this
Interesting study the eminent author had
seated himself near the door In a variety
of restaurants, where ho could qulatlysl
watch the entrance of tho particular
couples whose matrimonial bliss he wished
to scrutinize.
His deductions proved most entertain
ing. Tho English wife, he stated, came
In shyly behind her husband, looking
qulto nervous nnd flustered, her lord and
master preceding her with a majestic
and self-conscious frown upon his
countenance.
The French couple, he said, came sail
ing In arm In nrm, n beaming smile
Upon the features of both monsieur nnd
mad a me.
The American combination did not ap
pear to him so happy. The wife marahed
Into tho restaurant first, determination
In every line of her face, while her little
submlsslvo husband enmo meekly trot
ting behind. This marital attitude struck
the eminent author rip being peculiarly
significant of America.
I havo frequently noticed that, although
It pleases the Englishman to refer to his
wife as his "better half," ho would be
the last man In tho world to believe nny
thlngs of the sort! But, on tho contrary,
the Ktenchman docsl Ills wife Is some
thing more than his right hand to him.

WOMAN OUTSIDE THE
legal profession. When I finally did
start to fulfil my ambition, I found tho
study fascinating, and have found the
practice even more so. Thcro Is real
Joy In working up nil the different rami
fications of a case. It Is a game of com
bined skill and intuition. Some "of my
friends nnd lelatlves rather disliked the
Idea of a legal c.tieer for a woman, but
I could not see why It should not be ns
good a field for one sex ns for tho other.
That It Is has been proved by the ex
perience of both Miss Ogden and my
self "Of course, when we were admitted to
tho bar and when we had our first cases
we got a little nowspaper fame that
might have helped to give us a start,
but after wo had become established we
found that being women made no dif

October's Soul
Soft days whose silver moments keep
The constant promise of tho morn,
When tired equinoctials sleep
And wintry winds nro yot unborn:
"What ono of all the twelve more dear
Thou truce and Sabbath of the year?
Morn restful art thou than tho May,
And If less hope be in thy hand.
Some cares 'twere grief to understand
Thou hast, as Is the mother's way.
With mists and lights of fairyland
Set on the borders of tho day.
And best of all thou dost beguile
With color friendliest thought of God!
Than thine hath heaven Itself a smile
More rich? Are feet of angels shod
With peace more fair? O. month divine.
Stay! till thy tranquil soul be mine.
Robert Underwood Johnson.
