Knitting the Latest Accomplishment of Phila
delphia Men Robert Louis Stevenson
Was an Adept in This Gentle Art
DA.If.'r the liowt nbout woman's monopoly of vhnt tho stronger sex likes
to consider fields particularly its own ascends.
"What nro wo men golnR to do nfter tho war?" tho cry goes up, "when
wo como bnck and And that you women refuse to let us take our rightful
places In the factories, on the farms, on tho trams, tho Btreot cars and In the
municipal departments? Aro wo to becomo fifth wheels, useless appendages
In tho scheme of things?" And they will pull long faces, as though they be
longed to the really oppressed.
But aro not tho gentlemen a bit unreasonable?
Only tho othor day as I was dallying In that most fascinating department In
nny shop tho nrt needlework when a strong nnd virile specimen of tho male
persuasion stepped shamelessly up to tho counter and In resounding tones de
manded that ho be served with "two pounds of Oermantown wool."
"What a nice, well-trained husband!" was my instant thought; "he docs
his wife's shopping so capably and so cheerfully."
But when tho purchaser continued with u technical and absorbing discus
Blon of tho merits of the use of two needles over one and tho superiority of
tho wooden over tho steel for a shell-stltch scallop, t drew nigh to gnzo upon
tho queer specimen.
"Queer?" tho saleswoman repeated when ho had departed, wool In pocket,
"not a bit of It. Lots of men knit and knit welt. They know how to crochet,
too, and to make Irish lace. Some of them even do lino embroidery, but tho
majority confine themselves to simplo knitting.
"Many sailors from League Island come In hero for yarns, particularly
right before they'ro going off on a long voyage. And when they como back
they bring In tho finished product wonderful shawls and scarfs, with colors
beautifully blended. Cllvo them away? Not much. They mnko u regular
practlco of selling their knit goods. I have heard thut some of them mako
almost as much as their pay.
"Firemen llko to knit also. They while uwny the leisure time by clicking
tho needles Industriously I luivo ono quiet little man nn a regular customer who
says that no's a novelist!"
Does this seem so very strnngo? Hobcrt Louis Stevenson, If you remem
ber, was an enthusiastic knitter. Many an hour, It Is recorded, he whlted away
on tho Island of Samoa In this foshlon. Perhnrs "whlled away" Is tho wrong
phraso. to use, since doubtless golden hours of thought woro spent while tho
master-author's slim hands wove tho bright colored yarn diligently.
Knitting is conducive to meditation, and meditation, so the copybooks tell
us, Is likewise good for tho soul. If knitting Is necessary to Inject some medi
tation Into tho lives of our fathers, brothers and husl inula, I am not the ono
to decry this adoption of what Is generally, and by some contemptuously, re
garded as peculiarly "woman's work."
But let them not rail at our invasion of their premises. Let them remember
that much of this so-called woman's work they long ago delegated to them
selves, without so much as a by-your-leavo. They entered the culinary and
the sartorial fields. That they "made good" wo neither deny nor hold against
them. But wo ask a llko generosity.
In tho meantime, do you consider knitting an effeminate accomplishment,
and would you prefer your sweetheart or vour husband to be devoid of It?
Gustctory Heading
Are you bored beyond endurance with life and the weather? Does tho
very thought of having to go down to the noxt meal make you wish to turn
your toes up In the daisies and fade away to another world, where one could
live on air, or thought, or good Intentions?
If so, there's a cure. Get out the cookbook. This Is the recipe suggested
by an nnonymoiiH writer In a diverting little essay on "Our Wlttles" in a cur
rent magnzlne. Ho, or she, quotes tho example of the man, desperately 111,
who, having passed the crisis of an Illness, needed only, the doctors asserted,
an Incentive to get better and live onco more.
"Ho had had dire misfortunes and had lost all Interest In living," the writer
Bays. "Neither his business, nor his motorcar, nor his children, nor his wlfo
sufficed to lure htm back to the trials of temporal existence.
"Then some Inspired relative thought of tho cookbook. She put It Into
tho hands of tho sick man ns ho lay withering on his pillow. He turned it
over Languidly; then ho fluttered the pages with transparent fingers; presently
ho nsked to be propped up In bed.
"Beforo long ho was whispering fervidly of what he was going to have
to eat when he got well: those pig-hocks with dumplings, hot waffles and syrup,
schnlttbohen with sour sauce, What were rissoles, and ramekins, nnd ban
nocks? And why had ho never known about toad-ln-the-holo? These wero
tho sentiments that wooed him back to life."
Perhaps, after all, tho cookbook haB not received tho proper literary
recognition and maybe tho tlmo will como when Mrs. Rorcr and Mrs. Harland
will bo considered worthy of taking their place with the real Immortals.
May Forbid It
Apropos some words by mo recently In this column on "Spanking versus
Moral Suasion," there Is a bill before the Massachusetts Legislature devised
to prohibit corporal punishment In the public schools. From tho many letters
that have come to mo on this subject, Philadelphia mothers would hotly resent
such legislative interference. M'LISS.
Letters to the Editor of the Woman's I'affe
Addrm nil communications to M'1.In, care of thr limine I.edior. Write on one
hide of tile puirr only.
Dear M'Llss Pardon a passing stranger for "butting" Into a Philadelphia
paper's columns, but many years' experience with something more than 2000
orphan children makes me bellcvo my opinion of some value.
To say that most small boys and girls are not helped by an occasional
nursery spanking Is silly, and my objection to such discipline Is that the one
who Inflicts it Is so often not fitted by temperament or training to do it.
It Is not tho use of the slipper, but tho abuse that has brought this best of
punishment Into such disrepute, and when God picks out only wise women
for mothers and the school authorities suitable teachers for our public schools,
we will find that corporal punishment will have Its place In tho remedies- for
naughty children.
I havo been active in haying whipping abolished In tho schools of my homo
city, not because children do not need It, but because tho majority of women
teachers cannot bo trusted to use It.
I am not so old that I have forgotten certain private interviews with
mother and tho, much better girl I was afterwards, and I have spanked too
many disobedient boys nnd girls not to know tho good It does; always supposing
that it's done at tho right time and In the proper manner and spirit
AUNT PATIENCE.
P. S. Gain a small child's confidence and ask it tactfully what It thinks,
and you will find that ho or she bears no malice, but feels that they only got
what was coming to them and that it did them good.
Dear M'Llss What Is a sautoir? CURIOUS,
It is a narrow grosgraln ribbon, usunlly black or white, with sliding orna
ments of metal on It. It is worn around the neck and Joined In front, usually
having a watch, locket or some trinket at the end. You've seen them on
many women recently.
Dear M'Llss What shall I do with about 10 friends of my little boy, who is
14 years old? I am asking them to come to the house some evening.
MOTHER.
Why not let them havo a room to themselves, where they can play children's

of In English stories. Heat to a cream
two pounds of butter and put Into It two

beaten to a froth, and followed by the
beaten whites. Mix with two pounds of
browned Hour, two pounds of raisins, four
pounds of currants, two-thirds of a pound
of citron, two-thirds of an ounce each of
cinnamon, nutmeg and mace, quarter of
an ounce of cloves. Add last hnlf a gill
of brandy, heating thoroughly tho whole
mixture. Bake about live hours in a
moderate oven.
"MRS. M."
1 do not iccollect that I ever saw an
other recipe for cake that called for
browned Hour. Does It not affect tho

Nutritive Value of Foods
and High Cost of Living
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D,
A fair division of expenditures for a
worklngman's family, or any other fam
ily, la about ns follows! One-fcUrth of
the Income for rent, one-fourth for
clothes, ona-fourth for food, and one
fourth for education, Insurance, recrea
tion nnd health.
A family having an Income of $100 per
month may spend not over $25 per month
for food. A good many families spend
moro than one-fourth of the Incomo for
food, but this Is mere extravagance, usu
ally due to Ignorance of tho nutritive
values of different foodstuffs. The United
States Department of Agriculture issues
various bulletins explaining In detail
tho Values of all kinds of foodstuffs, nnd
theso bulletins aro Intended for free dis
tribution to any cltlncn who cares to
apply to the Secretary of Agriculture for
them.
Somo of tho bettor and cheaper foods,
which aro at the same tlmo very appetiz
ing and wholesome, are beans, peas
(canned), cornnieal. rice, macaroni or
spaghetti, cheeses of all kinds, apple,
rhubard or pumpkin pie, mutton, salt
pork, oleomargarine.
Contrary to tho popular Idea, a work
Ingman does not need meat every day.
Unless his work is vory heavy ho Ib bet
ter off with meat three or four times a
week, nnd If ho cares to ho may maintain
perfect health and endurance on a diet
with little or no meat. Hread and butter
(or oleomargarine, which Is quite as
wholosomo and nourishing), beans, rice,
cornmcal and cornnieal Is mighty good
eating when properly cooked nnd cheese
will tuko the placo of meat in the tllot.
A soupbono seems to bo good enough
for tho Inblos of wealthy people. It ought
to bo good enough for the poor. A house
wife who knows her business can ex
tract flavor, temptation and nutriment
from a cheap soupbone.
llcatitlful labels nnd pretty boxes nnd
promlums and prizo packages ure penny
wise, pound-foolish things to buy.
Kood manufacturers might well open
a campaign of advertising based upon
tho caloric or fuel valuo of their prod
ucts as retailed to tho customer. Stated
In cold llgurcs, on unquestionable author
ity, the nutritive value of a foodstuff
would mako an Impression that tho hack
neyed adjectives "nutritious," "digest
ible," "strengthening" and tho llko cun
hardly equal.

HOW WOMEN CAN SAVE MONEY
Practical Suggestions for Managing the Weekly
Income Are Worked Out by Efficient House- '
keepers You Can Do the Same
TtlE great number of worthy budgets
which have been submitted to tho
Kv'ENWd liEDOEn prizo contest during tho
past few weeks complicated tho deciding
of tho awards. After careful deliberation
the Judges, however, have given the first
prlio of r to Mrs. II. A., 2211 North 33d
street, Philadelphia, whoso savings, pro
visions for nccoseltlcs and plenstitcs and
scientific management In general nro a
splendid object lesson for the woman who
has only $100 a month.
The first two sentences of Mrs. II. A.'s
Introduction to her budget contain, In n
few words, tho whole secret of how ono
woman makes n dollar give up every cent
of Its valuo to herself and family. Sho
has tho problem of clothes, for Instance,
reduced to a fltio art. She alms for smart
stylos without going to extremes.
Again, she speaks of taking advantage
of tho special sales, the seasons nnd all
tho opportunities which nro at our elbow,
but too frequently overlooked. Her budget
spells system nnd n real understanding
of financial Intricacies of insurance and
sick benefits, which usually caitso Women
to flounder.
This Is her budget.
Budget Editor Evening Ledger;
Sir Tho question of the high cost of llv
Ing every housewife is seriously inter
ested In, but In solving tho problem wo
ore not to draw the line too close upon
somo of Its phases. The most Important,
to my mind, nnd the ones wo try to follow
nre, firstly, adapting oneself to present
conditions, systematizing tho household
and general working conditions, using
good Judgment In all buying and buying
llttlo or nothing on credit.
Wo save a largo amount by taking ml
vantago of the sales; carpets at January
sales and furniture at August sales, coal
at April prices, winter clothing ns tho
season tins far advanced, summer clothes
likewise. Would you behove a family of
four couhi save $."I.G0 per year in tills
Item nlono? Having good clothes (not
extremes, but good styles).
As to hired help, T would not have any
about mo unless absolute 'orced to It.
Do your own laundry; if you aro not
strong, send the large pieces to tho laun
dry nt 30 cents per dozen.
By all means (especially In living-room
or reception halls) tnko up rugs In tho
spring, beat and air them thoroughly,
plnco camphor In them, fold and wrap in
newspaper and lay them away until fall,
buying now rng rugs, which are clean,
light and inexpensive.
tiny potatoes uy tho bushel; plenty of
milk, ns nothing is so chenp or Whole
some; bake your own bread, cakes, pics,
etc. It is foolish to pay 40 cents for but
ter and cook It all away; substitute for
this a vegetable fat, which Is cheaper and
wholesome.
Economy Is nil right, but you must
know whero to draw tho line; don't sacri
fice your health nnd happiness to put tho
dollar in a "savings bank," or, in other
words, don't get money mad. Do not
misunderstand me nbout saving, for I
challenge any housewlfo In a largo city
to llvo In reality and save moro money
than mo out of a $2i) weekly wage.
Every family should carry Jlfo Insur
ance, but tho 10-ycar endowment policy Is
the best, which expires in that time, giv
ing $1000 back with dividends making about
$1H00 in all, and your family has been pro
tected all tho while. Hy making each pay
ment yearly In advance you also save G
per cent. Tho best sick beneficial societies
nre the ones that break up each vcar, re
organizing anew, dividing all " moneys
equally among their members; this costs
about 5 cents per week, instead of 15
cents, paying $j per week sick benefits
