M'LISS OVERHEARS.MOTHERS
DISCUSS SCHOOL PROBLEMS
Germantown Women Give Views, Pro and Con,
on Children's Strike and Raise the Question,
Is the Modern Mother Too Soft?
WHEN I f,ot on llio car at Market nnd 11th street, the two women had
their discussion well under way, but It did not tiiko me long; nfter 1 hnd
eftted myself In front of them to learn that they were Ucrmnutown mothers
an4 Ji"b tho subject that occupied their minds and tongues was the school
chllartn's strike over tho removal of Principal SOwdcn.
'"'It goes niralnst my nrtiln." Bald tho woman next to tho window, "to see
children net like -that nnd to have their parents back them up. Times are not
like they used to ie. My molhor or father would never have stood up for mo
If t had done n thing like Hint, nnd so when my Willie came to mo and told mo
all about It and; What his schoolmates were Rolnp; to do, 1 said to him:
" 'Now WllliV you keep out of It or don't expect mo to side with you.
Everybody who knows Mr. Bowdcn admires and respects him, but 1 supposo
tho School 'Hoard knows what It's dolnjr nnd It Isn't up to us to Interfere. You
go to jrehool to BcVour education nnd.so long as no one tries to stop thut 1
don't eco that wo have nny kick coming.'' "
Sho bristled Vlth righteous wrath and tho other woman took up tho cudgels.
"Wpll, I don't agreo with you," she said. "After nil Mr. Sowdon has done
for Fitter 1 think It wollld have been tho height of Ingratitude to have let him
Bo without a protest. My children didn't go there to school, but I'm sure I'd
havo approved of their protest If they had, If for no other reason than that I
remember my own .schooldays,
"My mother was a Spartan," she continued, "who never Indulged u chil
dren oven to tho extent of over permitting us to think that wo wero In tho
right. Wo wero always wrong to our faces, at any rate. Tho teacher, the
next-door neighbor, tho other child, or whoever It wtis who saw lit to lodge
complaint against us, wero always upheld and wo wore adjudged guilty
without a trial,
"In her heart my mother was the most Just of women, but It was against
her notion of discipline to ever side with us. Shu thought It would muko us
soft, flabby wenkllngs. She may havo been right In that, but I can't sym
pathize with her wholly, for I think hor unyielding methods made us a llttlo
harder, a little moro uncommunicative than children nuturally lovnblo and
affectionate ought to bo.
"We got In tho habit of never taking our troubles to her, because wo knew
in ndvnnce what tho verdict would be. 1 believe In rebellion when rebellion
Is Justified, nnd I think, the parents wero right In letting their children strike."
Forgetting tho Incident of the Fitter School tho question that rose in my
mind was: "Is tho modern woman too prone to champion the cause of her
child, blindly and partially, against nil comers, because ho Is her child, nnd not
because he is In tho right?" And how many Germantown mothers "got In
back of their striking youngsters because thoy think It Is for tho good of tho
children to have Principal Sowdcn, or Just because tho youngsters wanted him?
May bo some of my readers feel cualtfled to answer.
"When No One Is Looking
Most people think that when literary folks get together tho conversation
has Just naturally got to veer around to some such topics as the psychology
of tho soul, the subconscious self or something abstruse and erudite llko that.
Nothing doing! At least as far us I've been able to observe. Take for
Instance the Women Writers' Club, the membership of which comprises editors,
short story writers, poets, ad writers, In fact tho entire feminine genus literary.
Drop In any day at their attractive clubroom on Locust street and you'll tlnd
them, llko as not, engaged In a serious discussion of the latest thing In jabots,
or spring bonnets, and It's not at all impiobablc that nt least one of them
would bo demonstrating the best way to got olives out of a bottlo with a
hat-pin.
Disappointing? Not a bit of It. Just merely human. Incidentally the club's
growing apace, and although the attractive rooms were chosen a year ago
with tho idea of growth In mind, no one expected that tho time would come
bo soon when dignified editors (whom a few would-be contributors, at least, hold
In fear and trembling) could bo found sitting placidly on tho floor so as to
afford more room for sister members.
I supposo even the gods on Olympus liked to get into comfortable attitudes
once in a whllo when no outsider was looking.

FOE RUNAWAYS AND FAKES
The Educating Guests
Guests, according to Laura Spencer Portor In an article In tho Atlantic
Monthly, played the biggest and most interesting part In her education. Tho
peoplo who came to her house and stayed for lengths ot time varying from a
week to six months. In her childhood, did more for her than all the books ever
written or pedagogical systems ever 'devised.
If her views arc as true a3 they are Interesting, alas and alack-a-day for
tho modern child! What with whole families trying to live in bachelor apart
ments, -and with the mad rush of present day life, guests are becoming an
extinct species and hospitality a lost art. Wc might just as well try to find a
live dinosaur as to attempt to educate ourselves In that way nowadays!

Missives of Valentino Season
Show Woman Wide Awake to
Her Opportunity
WilORVnn said "man proposes"
didn't tnko Saint Valentine's Day
Into his plan In leap year, or ho would
havo been a bit reserved In his state
ments. tFor leap year has broURht about
a complete revolution In the ordinary
ways ot a man with a maid. My lady
chooses a bold, appealing statement of
her nffcctlonft, neatly nnd properly print
ed In gold letters upon a pink cord, nnd
sends It without the least hesitation to
tho object of her affections. If sho hap
pens to bo a flcklo jade, and carrlcfdy
sends thrco or four of these proposals
well, all tho worse for the bravo man tvho
refuses her.
Time nas when a bulky, anonymous
puicel, printed In atrocious curlicues, and
containing tho most Impossible of white
mica crrh (into which you squinted until
ono side of your faco ached), to see won
derful (lowers, birds and animals wns the
nemo of the smull boy's or girl's ambition.
Hut now tho rlbhotis, laces nnd lovely
celluloid embellishments of. tho old-fashioned
valentine oro no more.
It Is the s.imo with the comics. Those
horrible "personals, which wero slipped
Into dad's pocket In tho dead of night,
are no more. Uvcn the "penny" stores
nro cut of them. The paper atrocities.
which pictured tho male flirt and jour old
maid aunt, or the ovei dressed female ate
but a memory. The worst specimen of
tho kind to be seen In tho shops Is a
picture of a man about to step on a
tack with his bare feet. Underneath Is
tho catchword, "watch your step." It's
time enough to make tho small boy weep.
Tho anient expressions of undying
affection which nobody believed, but
every one liked to get, are conspicuously
absent now. One sees upon thi counters
such sentiments as the following:
In Urn anil frllli It'n Inching,
tlut the idpntlrip 1 Rrnil
Taken kockI ultl-fuplilnnoil Krctlnstf
To a boo oM-fanhloneil friend.
And the work of tho "Spugs," too, Is
evident They haven't only prevented
useless giving, but they have introduced
the utilitarian valentine. One style has a
small pocket mirror Inside, with directions
as to how this may be removed and kept
for the furtive powdering which Is bo
popular these days.
A small box about the sire of a ring
case contains a fat plccannlny, Beated
upon a tiny bayberry ball. On the lid of
the bo Is tho following inscription:
I'se a b.iybcrry haby

Other useful nrtlclcs nhloli are de
signed for the llttlo folks and come tied
by a ribbon to tho c.ird are peppermint
sticks, toys, celluloid flsli which curl In
the palm, and miniature nnimuls. Another
card has a bright red envelope full of
beauty patches tied to It.
Quite the most humorous ot tho collec
tion, to the cynical at least, aro tho or
nate missives dedicated to "my husband"
or to "my wife" Inside these folders
aro daintily executed scrolls In palo blues
and gotd, with appropriate ver.scs
I3ut If you don't happen to have a bus
hand, now's your chance. You can really
and truly propose and get away with it.
You can tell him bow long you i-ivo
adored the way he wears his hair, o. the
new dance step he Is so proud of, and
still bo perfectly proper. In short, St.
Valentino's Day and Leap Year together
won't be hero for another four years.
And a word to the wise ought to loiml
nate the single blessedness of a lot of
Belf-satisflcd bachelors.

Dear M'LIss Will you kindly send me a list of class mottos suitable, for
senior class in high school. In English, of not moro than six words? I would
llko to havo them by Saturday and not later than next Monddy, February 7.
Thanking you for a prompt reply, I nm, Yours truly, C. G.,
I should have preferred a little more time on this, but how will these do
offhand; Loyalty First: Fealty Forever to Our Alma Mater; Tho AlmaMater
Be Served; Ideas Plus Ideals Mean Success; Deeds, Not Words; Constancy in
Friendship, Nobility in Service.
Dear MXlss Can you suggest something that I can serve at 11 o'clock,
after a card party; something novel. Wo havo nlready had mostly anything
you can think of, such as cake and coffee, cold cuts, cheese and crackers, baluds
and fried oysters.
Now this week coming It happens to bo at my home, and I would bo
thankful to you If, through you and the Evenino Ledger, you could publish
something that would go well with Ice cream and cake. MRS. S.
Chicken croquettes nnd peas, though not a strikingly novel suggestion,
make a dainty and tasteful repast. Thero are patties nlso to bo considered
either oyster or chicken. Braised sweetbreads on toast with mushroom sauco
are delicious and not bo very expensive.
Have you ever had "pigs in blankets" that delicious way of serving broiled
oyattrs with bacon wrapped around them? All these goodies have tho vlrtuo
of not clashing with Ice cream and cake. If you haven't tho recipes for them,
let me know and I'll be glad to send them to you.
Dear 'M'LIss Please tell me tho meanings of the names Daniel, Lawrence,
Joseph and Ralph. BOY.
Daniel means "Judge of God." Lawrence comes from the Latin verb Laureo,
"to crown with laurel;" Joseph means "he shall udd," ana Ralph, "warrior-wolf,"
Dear M'LIss Can you glvo mo the name of the placo whero an expert
tnender Is needed. I would llko to do some work along this line. H. K, M.
Call at tho Woman's Exchange, 114 South 17th street; perhaps they can help
you.
Dear M'LIss Are white broadcloth gaiters good form In the evening? I wear
them with a tailored suit. B, G. S.
A current fashion magazine Bays that tho wearers of whlto spats are, as a
rule, "long on feet and short on brains." This Is almost too severe, for if one's
feet are ordinarily small they are very smart. They are for outdoor wear and
can be worn with a tailored suit very well.

Miss Mary Gillette, Sec
retary of Society
That Steers Girls and
Women Right
Now Working for National
Organization of Travel
er's Aid Society, Which
Is Doing Big Work
"T AM woildng with nil my associates
JL toward the ono object, and that ob
ject is national organization of the Trav
elers' Aid Society," said Miss Mary Gill
ette, secretary of the Philadelphia
branch. She talks to you ns If looking
after hundreds of men, women and chil
drensometimes homeless mortals was
tho simplest thing in tho world.
"I ran hardly remember when t began
tho work, or, It would bo simpler to say,
when I didn't do It," sho continued.
"After I finished my sociology course In
Iluffalo I came to the New York School
of Philanthropy. Hero I took a thorough
course In social work, and was nlmost
Immediately called to Philadelphia to or
gnnls'o tho Court Aid Society. From this
circumstances just led me to reorganize
the present Travelers' Aid.
Miss Gillette doesn't glvo you tho Im
pression, ot first gla'nee, of tho force
which her position commands. Sho is
slight, delicate and retiring In her man
ner, and talks to you as If tho "we's,"
which sho mentions so frequently in her
narrative were not all directed by her
clover management.
"Vou see, wc havo 10 agents, who work
In the railroad stations, meeting on an
average of 3.VM trains a month. Wo have
schedules of all tho trains, and have
some one thero to meet every one of
them, day or night. These women got
word from conductors, porters or ticket
ngents If tlicy think thero Is a home
less or runaway girl on tho train, and wo
Immediately take her In band and tend
to her needs. Of course, wo Hnd It
necessary In this case to co-operate with
the other charity organizations.
"In tho summer time we havo agents at
the ferries, too. It's a very strange thing,
our runaway girl always makes for At
lantic City. Just a short tlmo ago wo had
a case of two little girls, 12 and 14 cars
of age, who ran away from their home In
Hie country to go Into a cabaret in At
lantic City. They had a suitcase Bimply
full of long-trained gowns, rouge, powder,
creams, etc. their Idea ot theatric
make-up. They arrived In the middle
tho night, too. Our agent brought them
to tho society's headquarters, and tele
graphed tho police In their town. They
gavo fictitious names, but their father had
reported the case tn tho local authorities,
and the children wero sent back right
away. This is only one of the many run
aways. "Wo also look after foreign-born men
and women who come to the city to get
employment and don't know where to go.
Our agents are required to speak at
least two languages, and as there aro two

of them In tho Btatlon nt a tlmo, wo can
manage to get Eomo kind of conversation
with a foreigner nil except the Poles,
wo need some one who speaks Polish.
And you'd bo amused nt tho number ot
old lames who run away irom marriea
sons or daughters they get peevish or
cross nt some llttlo thing, nnd take what
llttlo money they have and leave. We put
them In homes or send them back to their
relations. If they aro Ill-treated, wc placo
them under tho caro of a local charity,
or church organization. Wc do the same
with abused children.
"Investigating boarding houses, employ
ment agencies, questionable advertise
ments and such Is also part of our work.
We keep a list ot places where girls may
stay and of all the reliable agencies for
employment. Last summer wo bad an In
teresting experience. An advertisement
was printed In the small country town
papers announcing that a medical clinic
at 11th and Walnut streets was open for
tho treatment of all diseases. Wc met a
young Slavish girl at the station nnd ac
companied her to the clinic, conducted by
a 'Doctor' Naujakos.
"For some reason or other they refused
to examine the girl when they saw our
agent. We immediately notified tho Fed
eral authorities, and they found that this
was simply a nation-wide fake. You re
member the place was closed after that."
"What nbout the white slave cases
which aro supposed to come within your
reach?"
"These are largely In the minority,"
Miss Gillette declared emphatically, "but,
of course, tho railroad stations in the
largo cities are the chief Bources from
which unsuspecting girls are secured."
SOME TOOTHSOME CAKES
TlUCru; arc many delicious cakes which

Is to keep your recipes all together, bind

For a Young Girl
Correct dressing Is by no means tho
matter of mere money that many people
think it Is. Tho woman of moderate
means can be beautifully dressed if only
she knows how. When It comes to choos
ing clothes for tho schoolgirl this npplics
with added force.
Tho schoolgirls' clothes can be as pretty
as she pleases, but they should always be
youthful In appearance For a girl ot 15
or IB to wear an elaborate frock that
perhaps would suit her mother perfectly
Is not only in bad taste, but misses the
very point tho girl is trjlng to make of
fashion.
Many young girls from 12 to 18 years
old who attend the fashionable prlvato
schools aro devoted to the sailor frock.
Just tho sort of frock that years ago used
to bo called a "Peter Thompson." Such
frocks are usually made of flno serge In
navy blue or brown, but mora often of
blue.
Emancipate the "Woman
No ono pays tho slightest attention to
that time-worn plaint about woman's
placo being In tho home.
Genius has accomplished such wonders
In tho way of time-saving, labor-saving
and money-saving devices that woman's
work Is no longer from sun to sun, us
tradition would huggest
This advantageous state of domestic
affairs Is partially responsible for woman
finding time to become acquainted with
other matters than brooms, dusters, wash
boards and other utensils of tho old
bchool.
