TheSO radical opinions nro not mv own. rrrmtln ronilor. tlplnir n wnmnn t Vrould not daro to presume to launch them, even were I bold enough to entertain thm. "Tiey como red-hot from tho pen of one Th. Kby, who writes flntterinirly about our. capabilities In a current mnirnsslnc. There has only been one froldcn lute, accordinc to this writer, nntl tho work of that nffe was characteristically woman's work. It was an afro before tho advent of canned goods, vacuum cleaners and husbands who know how to wear their dinner coats, Women have been responsible for nil these changes for the civilization of food ns well as of man; for the taming of tho wild carrot as well as for tho transforming of tho shaggy male creaturo into a veritable Prince Charming. It seems that she Just sort of henpecked a man Into keeping himself decently shaved and going around fully clothed. And might he not have gone on forever preferring raw bear meat and wild berries for bis evening meal, had sho not cult!." -d In him a taste for pate dj fols gras and t harlotto nio' In thnie days a man nnswered to m innther or bis wife for his every uct, nnd, according to the Eby viewpoint, It was a merry life for the ladles, nt any rate. It should bo that way now, ho hnll. Bu dark days succeeded and man gained the nsccndcncv He jeenmo strong nnd active and woman soft and passive. Tcmpti3, however, fuglt, and 6 ecem to bo back at the old place again. The most Important work of today Th. Kby says, Is the "breeding nnd upbringing of tho next generation, the rescue of tho homo from the disintegrating inlluenccs of a degenerate military and exploitative order, and the resumption of progress In the domestic nrls for Want of which life has become so conscious nnd barren." "This In womun'i work," he declares, "and the present Is by nature a woman's ngo. The world Is beginning to see that the true present function i property Is tho maintenance of woman nnd her dependents. Kvcry man who nmounts to anything looks upon bis house nnd wealth as more fundamental! his wife's than his own. Property belongs to women. Inheritance ought to follo-v tho femnla line and women alone should receive bequests." , Turn your pockets Inside out, gentlemen, and give ns everything. And then you do tho begging for tho small change. Turn about Is only fair play. I doubt, though, if Mr. Ebys views, agrceablo ns they spem nt llrst reading, will coincide with thoso of the majority of sano-tblnklng women of todnv ' Somehow we're a llttlo tired of slavishly and patasitlcally taking things. In deed, c'vo come to tho conclusion thnt tho day Is almost nigh when wo inn have done asking when, Just as a man has been free to do. wo can choose nnd take what wo want, whether It be pleasures, careers or husbands. I believe that our golden ngo has arrived, or very nearly; but not as .Mr. Kby construes it She Disapproves Regarding my comment a few days ago on the precedents for widowers established by those two famous men, tho President and tho Governor, who remarried In less than two years after their llrst wives' death, A Mnylnn wife and mother signing herself K. D. II. sends mo n hot communication. She says: Dear M'LIss Apropos your article on quick second mnrrlnges, which appeared In the Evuxiko Lkdoer of last Monday, I should like to say that it greau interested me, as do all opinions on what might fitly be termed "Tandem Polygamy"; for I live In hope that .some time I shall rend something that- will convince me that such marriages aro not so wicked as they now appear to mo. Of course, I havo heard numberless times the oft-repeated and ridiculous statement that a quick second marriage is a proof that the llrst wife was dcaily beloved. I have even heard one woman say that she felt It was a decided stigma on tho character of tho first wife if a man did not remarry soon. Besides tho humiliation of being compared to a hat. coat or other material object, whoso good wearing qualities havo made another of the same kind seem advisable to tho owner, one mght us well say that a gcnulno polygamlst compliments tho wifo first chosen by getting others during her lifetime. After all, how much real difference Is there between tho man who has many wives' at the same time and one who has them In succession tandem fashion? How can we account for men and women, within tho very shadow of the sepulchre, beginning In six months the new courtship, with all that courtship Implies, and which 13 to culminate in another marriago by tho end of a year? How can any one believe that during such courting tho memories of tho dead obtrude themselves between tho lovers, whoso every thought Is now stimu lated by, nnd centred on, tho warm flesh of tho living? In tho meantime, while theso things are going on, what Is happening In tho minds and hearts of tho rising generation; for under the cloak of apparent In difference, tho youth of our land aro watching their elders and taking notes. Of what are they thinking? Arc they becoming cynical concerning marriago? T3o tho devotion nnd self-sacrifice necessary to tho right sort of marriage appeal to them,? Do. tho girls who seo tho mother, after a llfo spent freely In loving toil for tho husband and children. Ho down In her silent tomb and becomo a forgotten thing (for she surely must bo), do theso girls long to glvo their lives In a llko 'manner? 1 doubt it. Of course, they ought to want to glvo themselves to their work; but when they seo this worn-out parent supplanted almost immediately, it is natural that they should prefer tho rosier, tho moro selfish path. Is not marriago with its heavenly beautiful possibilities being desecrated by the quick succeeding marriages? Of course, It must bo granted that knowledge comes only with experience, and those of us who havo not lost our mates In life may not understand. After all it is largely a matter of taste not &o much a question of wliy do they? as how can they? The whiff of roasting human flesh has a dcllclousncss to the cannibal which proves a horrlblo stench to the Christian! Every man to his taste! A New York divine has said that those who object to quick second mar riages belong largely to tho list of unmarried women who nro too old to hopo for marriage. For very obvious reasons, I have found this class very favorable to such marrluges. As a wife and mother, I cannot claim membership In this distinguished body, but gladly admit that I am ono of thoso "silly sentimental ists" who bellovo thnt tho marriage relation differs from every other relation, that it la sanctified only by u love so deep, so puro and so self-sacrificing that when tho loved one has left his (or her) earthly home, he or she still lives in kplrit. When such a marriago exists, tho body will, Indeed, have cooled off, and the flowers havo long sin- . withered beforo tho thought of a second such rela tionship can be tolerated. p, rj. tt.

Perfection Salad "I have lead with Interest and a little amusement tho several requests for n rccipo for perfection salad, nnd if there be ono'nnxlous housemother who has not scented tho coeted foi inula she will find it herewith Inclosed. 1 havo tiled It, and moro than once, to innkn fcuro how far It deserves tho high hounding title: Ono en velope of gelatin, half cup of cold water, half cup of mild lnegar. one pint of boil ing water, ono teaspoon of salt, ono cup of llncly shredded cabbage, julee of ono lemon, half cup of sugar, two cups of celery cut in small pieces, quarter cup of sweet red poppers, llnely cut.

Serve on lettuce leaves with mnyomiaibo dressing or cut In dice and servo In cases mudo of red or green peppers, or tho mixture may be shaped in molds lined with pimentos. A delicious accompaniment to cold sliced chicken or veal. "As will be seen by ono accustomed o giving ami pat taking of well-managed dinner nnd luncheon parties, this la a lolish rather than a salad. It would make a sou' bhow as a salad course, accom panied, as Is usual, by crackers and cream cheese. JIuy I tell of a 'salad as Is a salad,' of which I partook with great de llKlit at a beautiful luncheon last week? Pino, largo rlpo and ruddy apples wero ex cavuted, leaving tho peeling and walls In tact. Then they wero set In tho Ice while tho tilling was prepared. This was white grapes, peeled and seeded; tiny flukes of pineapple, small cubes of grapefruit and oiange, wee bits of crlt.p celery, and just a sprinkling of minced maraschino cher ries. All wore judiciously combined, chilled lor nn hour n tho Ice, and then mixed lightly with a good maonnalse, albo Iro cold Tho apples were filled and heaped through the opening left by cut ting off the blossom end. A maraschino ehcrry cupped the filling, and nbout tho apples wero crisp stalks of romalne. Just dashed with mayonnaise. Cream cheeso balls and crackers were served with this peifertlou salad. "Am I presumptuous in offering tho contilbution to the Corner repertoire of choice iceipes? Hecolicct, the delicacy was not my Invention, but my friend's. I got tho formula from her next day.

Ingenious Method Followed by Mnny Girls to Utilize Dis carded Evening Gowns i 1 Many a girl who claims sho Isn't inter I cstcd In Bowing enjoys making dainty I blta of filmy negligee for herself, beeausa I the prices charged for tho same In tho I shops Is, nlas, too frequently, beyond her ' slender purse. One of the most Ingenious 1 "stunts" of a cry ntnbltlous young lady , h to make stunning negligees, matinees, or "Just plain" lounging robes out of her 1 dlscnrcd evening gowns. Tho Idea Isn't a now one, by any means, but there Is always an original . way to dress up an old Idea, so that tho nppcaranco Is novel, at any rate. A pretty stylo Is shown in the illustra tion developed In tones of flesh pink chiffon, with a shadow-lace over-drapery. , Tho chiffon comes by the yaru, or nw bo the left-over from a too-narrow-to-bo- I fashioned evening frock. The bottom. , which might have become a bit ragged from high heels catching In tho thin ma- i terlal, Is cleverly hidden by a Boft rullle. 1 Slnco short skirts are tho rage, the gown may bo made as far from the ankles as tho fair wearer chooses, Strips of plain pink-satin ribbon are seen falling from tho Empire wnlstllno to good crtcct. Tho style Is quite now nnd claims Parisian origin. The pannier effect nt cither hip Is smart i and shows tho lace up lo naamaKo, without necessitating much cutting or fitting. Tho bodlco has a metallic iaco bow at tho front and French roses. This little gown, so claborato when made up, may bo easily planned and ex ecuted at home. The results are far moro effective than one would be Inclined to believe, especially If ono's tnlents In tho sewing lino are doubtful. Try It, girls, you'll need a nlco negligee when you go nwny on your next week-end trip. For Evening Wear Spangles aro very smart, especially for uso on fine silk net; many new effects In rich colorings are seen. Among the fash lonablo shades are African brown, Joftro hlue. a clear emerald, bronzo and bor deaux. Flounces and bands are much used for skirt decoration. Sometimes as mnny as eight rows of bands In gradu ated widths are used around a skirt. Spangled pendants or drops aro used In such colors as opnl, green, sapphlro and amethyst tones. lOlghteen-lnch cup span gled nil-overs are used in forming peasant girdles and panel trains. Minlaturo clus ters nnd ropes of roses and variegated llowers are seen on many of tho smart est party frocks of lino silk not. They are used for outlining hoops and for dec-ni-ntinir .rhn skirt foundation. For tho Lorsage, long floral sprays with pendant streamers aro attached to the shoulder or tucked in tho belt at the back. Beaded fringes are used to edge boleros nnd tiered skirts. Gingerisras If wo never desire until wo deserve, what contented lives we shall live. Too many books spoil the author. Says tho Psalmist: "I said in my haste 'all men are liars!' " Ah, Davy, my boy, wore you among us now, you might say it at your leisure. "Learn to live well" If your purse and digestion stand the strain. "PnetB are born, not made," but In tho name pf tho Muse, whence theso near poets? Fine feathers make fine dusters. Don't spend all your money In one shop. You get lots more fun and variety by ex changing purchases in different places. Madam, remember tho salesgirl may be taldng a mental Inventory of you, too. "The npparcl oft proclaims tho man" to bo in debt. A dollar In your hand Is worth two In your purse that is, to the merchant, for by this sign he knows It i3 coming across the counter. Tho sweet buy and buy applies espe cially to tho swain who thinks he must send her n box of confections each week. When lovely woman bucks tho lino nt a bargain sale, football pales Into tho inslgnlllcanco of ping pong.
