The latter has many restrictions whera 1 the American child has few, while the old adage that "Children should be Been and not heard," so rife In England, Is not so vigorously upheld In this country. Kenoe that essentially modern product, f ' the Independent and self-nssured young American girl.

ANONYMOUS Milady's Toilet Table Moles and warts are a serious blemish on an otherwise pretty skin. These are sometimes merely dlscolorattons, and sometimes covered with a hairy growth. As the coloring matter lies deep below the skin, a scar remains If they are re moved by a knife or hot iron. Electric treatment Is the best, and does not harm the skin if properly applied. If this Is not available, large pendant warts may be removed by winding around them a slUc or silver thread, and after they drop off cauterizing the spot with sliver nitrate. Common warts may be removed by repeatedly applying strong acetic acid, caustic potash, nitric acid or hydro chloric add. All these remedies are liable to leave a mark If not uaed with care The bent Way IS lo apply uie aciu iu iiio uiv i .lone by means or a matcnsticu, taxing core not to get any on the surrounding kin.

Ideas in Idleness Ko woman has a right to expect a man to tell professional secret. Every day should be a step toward Warning something. Irnoranc Is the Mackeat vice. Johnson say there are two aina oz knowledge, First, to know a thing your e!t; oeoondly, to know where to find It. People nowadays expect io gainer ns from thistles. They blame the intellectual girl because she cannot cook, and accuse the stay-at-home girl of a lack of brains. A thing of beauty may be a joy forever, but we certainly get tired of wearing our lilt aeason'i clothes. "good time" and tho American woman often trespasses on this Ingrained In dulgence on tho part of husband, father or friend. The English girl, on the other hand, has often to suppress her Individuality, and her cherished ambitions, for the sake of the male members of her family, most of the money going to the education of the boys. As regnrtls freedom of friendship be tween the sexes, the American girl has cery liberty, and the tesult Is n health camaraderie between tho young men and girls. The freo-nnd-easy manners of the aver age middle-class American girl strike hei English cousin as Just n. trifle abrupt nn,i casual. The early upbringing of the child Is responsible for this, combined with the financial Independence pecullni to tho average American girl. For tin latter prefers to work Instead of staying quietly In the monotony of homo all dnv long. Sho goes to business and enjo It, too. In England the daughter of the avor ngo well-to-do middle classes docs no. woik, but here young wotnon of the mid dle classes go to business literally In thousands, and behind the counter of the great department stores. In ofllces, and in nil places of employment, the daugh ters of well-off parents are to be found. Tho disposition and characteristics of the English girl differ from those of her American cousin. She Is less worldly wise, not nearly so sophisticated. Her life Is In a way more sheltered, less In tho glare of the footlights, as It wero! For sho has loss freedom, and she has to nccount for her movements to her family circle In a way that the American girl would not tolerate. The brothers and the father of the English girl show Just the glimmer of a tendency toward "bossing" her! It seems to me that In America, If there Is any "bossing" doing, tho daughter of the family takes the lead' Not so In Eng land' The average maiden of America, seen at her best, is most attractive also the English girl. I must admit that, from a personal point of view, I ,flnd both very charming! ELLEN ADAIR. THE HIGH COST OP LIVING Mayor Mltchcl, of Now York, has taken one very decided step toward eliminating the much discussed high cost of living. It is undoubtedly true that nearly every housekeeper wastes money either through her own carelessness or the dishonesty of tradesmen. To counteract this, the May or's food supply committee prepared handbills on the subject. These were not placed on doorsteps to be thrown out as adxertlsements They were distrib uted nmong school children with orders to tnke them home. The circular Is calculated to attract at tention. .Such slogans as "Buy for Cash," "Don't Buy In Small Quantities If Yon Can Avoid It," etc , contain much good advice In a few words. Another pamph let is gotten out by the same people and will be mailed anywhere by request. It Is called "What the Purchasing Public Should Know." One reason why money goes so qulcklv for the housewife Is because of short weight. When there Is only a little dif ference she thinks It amounts to nothing. Tet In a year an appreciable amount of money haa been thrown away on "noth ing." Every kitchen should have a set of scales, and weights should be con firmed. "Don't order by telephone." reads an other line. "Go to the store and see what you are getting." There you have the advantage of quality and personal se- Women and Wisdom Did you ever notice that a pretty girl Is not allowed to have brains, cleverness, ingenuity or foresight' Campaigners rant madly against the demon rum, but there Is another green- n,A,1 mnnaf.p 4i,n? a a -Tilnm.a ,n I.a ; ""' j- .-...... w n.a home, Unfortunately, some men don't have to part from the dear one at home to go to war.

Some much-married men boast more clcthea "put away for them" than they'll ever realize. Dark Fruit Cake This recipe makes three largo cakes and has been used for over 30 years by the woman who took a blue ribbon on it last year: Two pounds raisins, two pounds currants, one pound citron, one pound flour browned In oven, one pound figs, two pounds shelled nuts, throe fourths pound butter, one pound medium brown sugar, one dozen eggs, two tea spoons mace or nutmeg, two teaspoons cinnamon, one teaspoon cloves, one tea spoon soda, two teaspoons baking pow der, one cup molasses, one wineglass fruit juice Cream butter and sugar add eggs well beaten, then flour with baking pow der sifted through It. Mix soda In mo lasses and add this and th wineglass of fruit Juice. Roll fruit In one extra cup of flour o that the partlclw will be separated. Line cans with buttered paper and bake an hour and one-half to two hours In a very elow oven. If de sired this cake may be made In on large pan. In that case bake three to four hours. Sago Fruit Pudding Take one breakfast cupful of sago, boil fn wtvter until well cooked and one pound of blackberries, which stew with half a pound of sugar in half a pint of water. Strain the juice off the black berries through a strainer, add juice to the sago, put Into a mold or basin until nearly cold Turn out on a dish and put blackberries round. Serve with boiled custard. The Attractive Woman Who are the women who go sweet heartleis through life? Are they the plain, the foolish, the dowdy, the Inslg nlflcant? By no means It M only neces sary to glance around the circle of en gaged and married women to disprove this, for Ib it not patent to every one that many of these ladles come from tha ranks of the unintelligent, the incapable, the silly and the plain-featured? And Is It not equally clear that some of the best looking, refined, clever and managing women are neglected and overlooked by menT One reason to account for this is the lack of a certain "something" In them, which "something" is none the less powerful In attracting men, because It la difficult to define. Velvet Cream Soak one-half box gelatin In one cupful white grape juice two hours. Dissolve over boiling water, but do not let boll. Dissolve three tablespoonfuls sugar In the gelatin. Remove from fire. When cooled add juice of one lemon, then one pint oream. Stir until quite cold. Strain Into mold wet with cold water and put on Ice to harden. Serve with plain or whlpr-d cream. lection, and It pays to get the name of being particular. Thero are .i good many tricks of the trade women do not know. Butter Is usually weighed in wooden dishes a good Idea for the tradesman. The' weight of the dish should be deducted from the bill When packages are done up In stiff colored paper such as coffee, sugar, etc. the extra weight of paper means so much less food. Beware of the underprlced store. The underprlced dealer Is not living under any providential dispensation that en ables him to get along without profits. The oxcusn for this underselling Is no dellery If you are oontent to go to another storo and pay part of the expense of a horse and wagon, do so. But don't delude yourself Into thinking you are getting "free delivery." What Other Housewives Know HALF-PAY PUDDING.

ATTRACTIVE COSTUMES FOR HALLOWEEN For the Week-end Girl Whon packing, always remember to put the heaviest things In the bottom. Ecnthg dresses, perishable waists and nil such dainty things should bo put on top where you enn reach them. Hang them up as Boon as your trunks arrive. A hat trunk Is not a necessity. Put your hat on the top tray of your trunk and secure it with push-pins to the bot tom. Unless the brim Is white this will do It no harm. Stuff the bodices of waists, light dresses, etc., with tissue paper. Roll the paper Into light balls, never tightly. Tho re sult should look like an article Just sent from tlvo cleaners. Feminine Sayings A good dinner Is not to be despised aa the avenue to a man's good graces. A girl who "makes up" seldom does much else. Every man Is a child at heart. He Is just as restless and as hard to entertain, and reaches for every new toy. The slender thread of "they Bay" has been the executioner's rope for many a reputation. Pope says "Every woman Is at heart a rake." Pope was a pessimist. Tho professional optimist la the most annoying creature on earth. Why some girls go with some men will always remain a question. "Each one to his taste," said the old lady as she kissed tho cow. Roast Ham A roast ham has a finer flavor than boiled. ham, and will keep longer. Soak the ham thoroughly for 12 hours, wipe dry and cut away rusty parts. Cover the ham with a flour-and-water crust, taking care that It Is of sufficient thick ness to keep In the gravy. Place In a steady oven and bake for four hours. If You Would Have a Love y Skin Good health Is the only lasting prescrip tion for a good skin. Cosmotlcs and lotions will do no good If the real trouble Is lack of exercise, sluggish liver or a disordered stomach. One must feel well before one can look woll, for nature Is not a deceiver. In the first place, avoid Indigestion. Your stomach will very soon Inform you of the foods It cannot dispose of If you take them often Be very decided about avoiding them. Don't form the habit of taking something which disagrees with you "just this once." Tea and coffeo should bo foresworn entirely; but If this Is too rigid, twice a day is the maximum Do not take these too hot, as this la very bad for the stomach. Many girls lunch dally on a dish of loa cream or some candy. A sallow. Dangers of Holiday Packing Holiday makers are apt to wonder why they so often develop a cold In the first day or two of the holiday. It la usually ascribed to a draught in the train, but far more probably tha holiday cold Is due to careless packing. The unthinking packer will put hand kerchief next to dirty boots and shoes or dusty clothes laden with catarrh produclng microbes, for even a "cold In the head" Is due to a specific germ, and naturally, when the handkerchiefs are used. Infection Is highly probable. There are still more serious dangers in careless packing Handkerchiefs and underllnen may become Infected with consumption germ from soiled boots and dusty clothes Hair, shaving, and tooth brushes that have not been kept well away from any thing likely to harbor germs may easily convey horrible skin and other dls- In packing, handkerchief, underllnen, and toilet articles should be effectively protected from possible contamination from boots and clothes. Boots should, If -possible, be packed by themselves. Delicious Toasted Cheese .Cut two ounces of cheese Into thin slices, put Jt into a saucepan, set it on the fire and add one-half pint of fresh milk.

"Yes. indeed." replied the new teacher. "Well, then," said Tommy, with an air of Interest, "I'll be there next Sunday, you bet. I've been waltln" for that kid for three weeks, and never knew where to And him." The Csarm of Cheese Thero are so many delightful ways of preparing cheese these days without cooking It. The cheese cult, like a tasto for olives, must be cultivated, only cheese offers greater variety. Roquefort relish, for instance, is made out of roquetort, with celery chopped fine and seasoning. Cream Swiss Is n decided novelty. It la made of tho Imported Swiss made In the consistency of butter. This may be spread on bread or crackers. Pistachio nuts are mixed with tho cheese. It makes a delicious tea wafer. Cheese salad, mrde with yew York State cheese, pimentos, olives, nuts and seasoning Is another dainty. These nro all very reasonable In price. muddy complexion Is the Inevitable re sult. You should make every meal as substantial ns possible and do not eat between times. Women who form th habit of getting up late, then rushing off without any breakfnst, or none to speak of, will soon show tho results of this In their faces.

Mix these together, then add four ounces of golden syrup and a teacupful of milk Stir well, then turn Into a but tered pan, add dripping salt and pepper. Boll the bone, carrot and turnip In nine breakfast cupfulls of water for three hours, then strain. Wash the liver, dry It and mince It up Into small bits, cut up the onions also Put the dripping Into n saucepan to get smoking hot. and then put In the liver and onions, and fry till a nice brown; shake In the flour and stir well When well browned add the salt, pepper and stock and a little ketchup. Stir well till It boils, then put om the lid and let It simmer two hours. Cheese and Onions Take one large onion, boil till tender; chop up fine, then chop two ounces of cheese with the union. Mix with a lit tle milk, thickened with dour. Bring to boiling point, and let It Blmmer for a few minutes Pour In a dish, add a lump ot butter, pepper and salt to taste.

By O. HOUSTON GOTJDISS t Editor of Forecast Magazine, Millions of dollars are spent dally on foo'd which has tittle other value than to swell tho doctor's receipts. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of us go to the dootor for nothing else In tlto world than to got some drug which will remove from our system tho harmful or unnecessary material that we have been foolish enough to put Into It, or for Bomo tonic or concentrated food which will provide the Indispensable nutrient that u o have not known enough to take nor mally In our dally meals. And this happens becauso our only thought Is to please the palate. Most of us know nothing about food values or what the different food elements do for the body. It was enough for us that wo get what we llko to eat. , This applies qulto aa much to the bank president who orders an elaborate luncn nt his club aa It does to the messenger boy who tries to satisfy his healthy mid day hunger with a cup of coffee and a pleceof pie. In fact, the bank president Is of tho two the worst sinner against his own Interests, because ho can buy so much more rubbish to Incorporate Into his long-suffering system. Tho toy mw bo under-nourished, but tho banker helps to make tho doctor rich. We ought to be able to depend abso lutely for guldanco upon the craving of tho body for any one kind of food. When tho taste and appetite are what they should be, the more liking and hunger for a special kind of food Is sufficient proof that Uie body needs It in Its busi ness. . . u-j - Therefore, if the messenger boy had a llttlo more money to spend on lunch no would probably got JuBt what he needs. It Is tho bunker whose palate haa been carofully trained to cravo "htgh game or overripe and highly seasoned meat as tho loading fcaturo of a meal which is topped off with rich cheese and llery liqueurs. , ,.j. This is the type of taste that leads straight to tho doctor. He thrlvoa and profits also by tho Gen eral Ignorance of what food means and of what It Is Intended to do.

To Make Candied Lemon Peel Prepare a brlno of water nnd common salt strong enough to float an egg. ifhlve the lemons lengthwise of tho fruit (some prefer them quartered ns well) and remove nil pulp and throw the peels Into k.the brine. In which they are to be al lowed to soak for six days. Then place them In fresh cold water for one hour, after which "put them Into the preserv ing pan with as much cold water ns will coer them, and let them boll till they are quite soft. To test when they nro boiled enough use a silver fork. When you find It pen etrates easily turn tho ptels, out on a sieve to drain. Whllo they are draining preparo a syrup by boiling In proportion of one pound of loaf sugar to one'qunrt of water; continue boiling till the mix ture form1 a thin syrup. In this place the drained peels nnd boll for about half an hour, or until they look clear. Now make another syrup much stronger, using for It as much sugar as the water will absorb. You must cal culate the amount you will require of this, according to the amount of peels you havo to candy, so that you may have enough to qulto cover the peels when they are put Into the preserving pan, Boll thd peels In this thick syrup until thsy begin to candy; then take them out and let them drain, and before they are quite dry place them on large dishes. Spread them out and shake a little finely sltted white sugar over them and place the dishes In some warm place for tha pels to dry. They are then ready to bo stored for use, Vte a wooden spoon for stirring the syrup when boiling, and stir continu ously. The abpve recipe may be used for orango peel, the only dlfferenoe be ing to cut the orange crosswise when halving, to cut them lengthwise to quar ter. The pulp of the lemon or orange may be utilised to mako excellent mar malade, allowing ono pound and a half of sugar for lemons and one pound for oranges to every pound of Juice and pulp.
