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.

I tide of vie paper only.
Dear M'LIss Is it wrong for me to go walking in tho Park at evening with a
young man. It, o. 8.
It depends on yourself, the young man, tho hour and what your mother
thinks about It.
Dcir M'LIss Will editors accept manuscript written in long hand? Please
Wis t In paper. Thanking you. K. c. m.
An editor, of course, prefers receiving manuscripts thnt aro typewritten;
but good material written In a legible long-hand is naturally infinitely moro
desirable than "poor stuff" nicely typeU Tho really unpardonable sin, though,
is to w?Ite on both sides of the paper.

live inches square, that I'd bo dclighti'il

a large framed mini scene Is welcome to
It. And I also liavo a few games that
might pleaho ililldron. I hopo some one
will write for thcso things.

It sendn a thrill thiough the heart of
tho Corner when wo nro told of tho le
celpt of pieces. It assures us that the
rule of demand and supply Is working
both ways. Wo thank OU for telling us.
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. Sonk tho
gelatin In cold water five minutes; add
vinegar, lemon Juice, boiling water, sugar
and suit. Strain and when beginning to
set add icmalning Ingredients. Turn Into
a mold nnd chill. 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.
Virtue may bo Its own reward, but every
one doesn't learn it from experience.
