In heaven, but on earth she makes a
very Inane dinner-party. Bho Is the kind
of woman one asks to meet frumps.
Frumps always find miraculous amiabil

tho 'bright manner,' If It Is not to make
everybody Irritable and dull, must be a
natural, a spontaneous and a clever bril
liance. It Is not sufficient to find every
thing and everybody "Just too sweet for
words." Compliments without a hint of
criticism soon degenerates Into morn gush,
and everybody hates gush, except tho
gusher; she, poor soul. Imagines that her
'butter-slinging' Is having an Immense
success everywhere."
"She is usually as Ignorant of the fail
ure of her Indiscriminate palaver as the
man who, Jovially, slaps another man on
the back and calls It being Jolly. Also,
she Is Just as near to being brutally
murdered!"
"People, as n rule, do

KVEtfING LEDGEE-PHItiApELJPHIA, HOBDAY, SEPTEMBER
OYSTERS REGAIN
POST OF HONOR
IN BILL OF FARE
Their Vnluo as Food Impress
ing Itself on Housewives.
Economical Substitute for
High-priced Meats
TOOTHSOME DISHES
Philadelphia Especially Well Situated
Refrardinff Source of
Supply
Now that tho changing season has re
stored the "R" to the namo of tho month,
the oyster hns returned to its own and Is
gradually forcing Its way Into tho very
centro of the culinary stage. So that the
patrons of tpo cheap restaurants have al
ready becomo accustomed again to hear
ing the waiter cry;
"Fry a half!"
And ngnln the quiet, dignified, efficient
waiter of the best cofes Is used to serving
a half-dozen Bluo Points 'on the shell or
an oytitcr cocktail as a prelude to a meal.
But It Is Mrs. B. Z. Housewife who Is
giving the "succulent bivalve" tho most
serious attention. To her the oyster Is
often an answer to the question, "What
shall 1 have for dinner tonight?" And It Is
moro than thnt. It Is one avenue by which
she muy csrnpo running up her bill for
food to a point which often hor means
will not permit.
Housewives have found that the oyster
Is one of the cheapest foods on the mar
ket. Unlike many foods, however. It Is not
one the use of which accomplishes
economy at tho cost of nutriment. Many
physicians and food experts assert that
tho bivalve contains more nourishing ele
ments thnn any other single arttcla of
food on tho market
This year moro than ever before those
who have an eye to economy are turning
to the oyster, a frequent article of diet.
For there are many whose Incomes aro
limited who cannot afford to eat meat
dally, and who have becomo disgusted be
cause tho price of vegetables has con
tinued high despite the oversupply.
There are so many ways of preparing
o (iters that no good cook need ever be
puzzled. Perhaps the bivalve takes Its
most universally popular form when It
Is fried, for then It Is both tasty and
lllling. From C to 12 of them suffice for a
whole meal, and may well prove a substi
tute for the much moro expensive meat.
In fact, few persons care to eat more
than a half a dozen at ono time, as the
kind usually selected for frying are of
tho largo variety.
Oyster stews aro almost as popular. A
stow Is Just as satisfying as tho fried
oysters, for milk Is used In Us prepara
tion and a largo pleco of butter. Then
there aro tho crackers, without which a
Btew Is never complete.
During tho summer months, when the
oyster Is proscribed, claims aro used ex
tensively, but now that September Is hero
they have been relegated to the back
ground, At most banquets during warm
weather clams aro served as an appetizer,
but now the oyster Is back again. Served
raw on the shell or In cocktail, It Is a
delicious food, although, fortunately, not
as filling as tho fry or stew.
Ono of tho great arguments in favor of
the oyster Is the ease with which It Is
digested. No one need fear distress after
a meal composed of oysters, unless they
are fried.
' Tho oyster Is an article of food almost
tho cntlro world ,over. In 25 countries It
staple artlcio of diet. The United
States Is tho greatest oyBter-producIng
country In the World, for of the nnnual
production of more than 30,000.000 bushels
(io.i'W,uoo,qw oysters), more than 2G.000.000
cpme from Undo Sam's waters. rranco
Is next, with a supply of 3,000,000 Tjushels
annually.
Philadelphia is particularly well sit
uated as regards the source of the oy
ters. The Middle Atlantic States supply
more oysters than any other section of
the country, nnd Chesapeako Bay is the
most fertile field of this locality. So that
residents of this city may be reasonably
certain that tho oysters they eat aro
fresh, providing, of course, that proper
precautions aro tnken by tho merchants
who handle them here.
The few oyster dishes mentioned above
aro by no means all that are made.
"Oysters Ncwburg" Is a popular dish ln
the big cafes; tho oyster plo Is found in
almost every restaurant; oyster filling and
oyBter sauco aro frequently used for
meats, omelets, etc. Then there Is the
oyster sandwich and the "frled-oyster-wlth-every-drlnk"
saloon, where you grab
tho greasy blvalvo In your hand. And
thero are oysters a la this and a la that.
You may tako your choice.

Homes of Mrs. James B. Hag

Mattison Looted
NEWPORT, Sept 6. Two burglaries
vlthln 48 hours In homes of wealthy cot
tagers, the first here of consequence ln
several years, have stirred Newport resi
dents. Tho home of Dr. Richard V. Mattison,
of Ambler, Pa., and that of Mrs. James
B. Haggln, of New York, were entered.
It la believed the burglar was the same
In both Instances. At the Mattison house
he stole Jewels valued at more than $1000,
and the loss may reach )10,000. Tho Hag
gln loss has not yet been determined, but
Is probably heavy.
The Mattison home Is known as "Bushy
Bark" and Is located In Bath noad. The
members of Dr. Mattlson'a family and
several friends were at dinner about 8
o'clock on Saturday night when the bur
glar visited tho place.
He gained entrance to a room on the
second floor by climbing a porch He
searched the bedrooms nnd gathered up
all the jewels he could find. One of the
maids heard a noise on the stairs leading
from the second floor down to the
kitchen. She opened tho door and saw
a strange man descending the stairs.
"Halt," he said quietly, aiming a re
volver at her, and, according to her ac
count later, said:
"If you cry out I'll blow your head off."
Paralyzed with fear, the maid kept
silent as he continued to descend the
stairs, still pointing the revolver at her.
Entering the kitchen and within sound of
the voices of the diners In the adjoining
room, ho placed the pistol against the
girl's head and said that If she gave any
warning before he was safely away he
would return later and kill her.
He then rushed out the kitchen door
and disappeared.
When she had recovered from her
fright tho maid rushed Into tho dining
room and alarmed the family. A search
was made and the loss of the Jewelry dis
covered. WANTS POPILS VACCINATED
Dr. S. Lewis Zlegler Issues Word of
" Advice to Parents of School
Children
Dr. S. Lewis Zlegler, Director of the
Bureau of Health and Charities, issued
his final word of advice today to the pa
rents of children about to resume their
school work. It is that ell children should
be vaccinated.
Director Zlegler also believes that adults
hould take the preventive step, and as
serts that there. Is no more danger of in
fection from the vaccination wpund than
there is from any scratch. He points out
that reports of the chief medical in
spectors of the city in recent years show
that from 49 to B0 per cent, of the persons
oxpoced to smallpox were not vaccinated
In speaking of the subject he said:
'It has been conclusively shown that

Two more days of liberty remain for
the children of Philadelphia. The doors
of 333 schoolhouscs will be opened on
Wednesday to receive 200,000 boys and
girls, whose solo consolation will be that
only 10 rnore months remain until the
next vacation.
Baseballs will bo hidden in the inner
most recesses of tho family closets, ten
nis rackets will bo returned to the gar
ret whence they came and Junk dealers
will enjoy an unusually heavy business
In roller skates.
Hands that held nothing heavlor than
marbles for tho last three months will
bo burdened soon with great formidable
geography textbooks. The cheery "Good
morning, scholars," that will echo
through 6000 classrooms simultaneously
will be anything but music to the ears
on Wednesday morning.
When Governor Brumbaugh was Super
intendent of Schools he expressed tho
belief that tho average boy nnd girl did
not object to school, nnd ho even con
tended that there were some children
who would rather study than play. A
canvass of tho different neighborhoods
failed to bear out his theories.
BOYS AMAZED B QUESTION.
"Sonny, are you glad to go back to
school?" was the question addressed to
a Kensington youth. Tho boy's counte
nanco was a mlxturo of surprise nnd
disgust
"Go to school?" he repeated. "Mister,
would you like to go to Jail If you never
did nothing?"
Then he ran away to sell his papers.
Another member of his profession, who
practices at Broad and Chestnut streets,,
apparently attributing the question to a
mental aberration, pointed his finger to
ward his forehead and whispered, "He's
a nutt" to his companion.
The daughter of a prominent German
town real estate man Informed the re
porter that In her opinion "school was a
necescary evil." Her sister,, two years
younger, Insisted that It was an entirely
unnecessary ono.
TEACHERS RELUCTANT, TOO.
Teachers who congregated about the
headquarters of tho Board of Education
admitted today that they were aa unwill
ing to return to duty ns were their pupils.
If schqol la annoying to the older pupil,
to the youngster Juit beginning his or her
career It Is terrifying. Tomorrow Is en
rolment day, nnd a line of children be
tween the ages of 6 nnd 8 will be seen
near tho principal's ofllco ln every ele
mentary school In the city.
The little folk will bo accompanied by
their parents. Children who have never
been successfully vaccinated will be
obliged to submit to tho physician's needle
before they receive even as much as a
lead pencil. And' after tho painful oper
ation Is over they will be obliged to leave
their parents and content themselves as
best they can. in an entirely etrango at
mosphere Fresh from the nursery, where
there Is little restriction, they will be
obliged to sit In hard, straight-backed
benches.
For 15,000 boya nnd girls, according to
the estimate of Dr. John P. Garber, Act
ing Superintendent of Schools, education
will be a medicine of small doses. That
number of pupils will fall to find full
accommodations in the classrooms be
causo of tho congestion In the school sys
tem due to the growth of tho child pop
ulation in certain neighborhoods. Doctor
Garber expects tho overcrowding to be
particularly acute In South Philadelphia.

Billy Robin Watches the Minnows
THE very next day after Dingey Bat
suggested that Billy Robin learn for
himself all he could about minnows, Billy
planned to go to the park. But Mrs. Billy
wanted the nest repaired, so he put oft
the trip. And the next day such a rain
storm came up that Billy was glad to
stay ln his own home tree.
But the third day dawned bright and
clear, and Billy rose betimes, ready for
the Journey. He ate a light breakfast;
told his little mate good-by and away he
flew.
Billy always enjoyed the Journey to the
park, for thero was so much ot interest
One poor Utile mfnnoio who had been
, too slow
to see on tho way. But for tho first time
he took the trip without stopping to sight,
see. He was mora Interested In what be
was to learn at his Journeys end than
in any thing he might see on the way.
He soon reached the lagoon where he
had seen the minnows and found him
self a good watching place on an over
hanging tree. "Now I can see every
thing It only the minnows are her to
day," hay said, and he began hi watch.
