TEDDY DOESN'T KNOW A PARASITE, DECLARES M'LISS 4, III Magazine Article the Colonel Confuses the : Clinging Vine With' the Home Keeper and Expounds Some Interesting Views TUB ladlea! God bless 'enil It's his Bull Moofllan Hlfthness, Teddy ''Imself, who's chucking the fair sox under the chin onco more. Havlns corralled nto tiki fold those ladlea who do want tho vote, ho now Issues a. sort of "Como Into my nardon, Maudle" Invitation to thoso secluded homebodies who don t. '' In tho ourront Issue of tho Metropolitan Magazine, tho redoubtnblo Colonel jmta down tho big stick, after ilret swattlnt? tho feminists a pulverizing blow with It, and wavea tho flag for tho lowly parasite. Indeed, Just as wo had como to regard this cllnglnj? vino of humanity she ,. who Is an economlo nononlty as c. Bonus that modern civilization should wlno ' out, cornea Roosevelt to tell us that tho parasite Is not n parasite at all, but ' that oho Is tho very backbone of society. Of course, It's a little dldlcult to understand Just how Teddy managed to eonfuso tho real parasite with what ho thinks tho world thinks Is a parasite. Ho doclares that tho assertion that tho woman whoso primary life work Is tak inff care of her homo and children Is a parnslto Is tho "silliest of silliness." Tho .fact that every sanc-thlnklnp person will ngreo with him does not seem to penetrate. "Thero aro man so selfish," ho writes, "so shortsighted or so brutal that they speak and act aa if tho fact of tho man's earning money for his wlfo unci chil dren, whilo the woman bears tho children, rears them and takes care of tho house for them and for tho man, Bomohow entitles tho man to bo known as tho head of the family, Instead of a partner on equal terms with his wlfo, and entitles him to tho excluslvo right to dlsposo of tho money, and, us a matter of fact, to dlsposo of It primarily In his own Interest. "Thero aro professional feminists and so-called woman's rights women who, odrlously enough, seom to accept so much of this malo nttltutio as implies that tho partnor who earns tho money Is tho siiporior partner, nnd that thorefore tho woman, who Is physically weaker than tho man, should accept aa hor primary duty tho rivaling of him In monoy making business; and thoy stlgmatlzo aa parasites tho women who do tho ono great and all essential work, without which no other activity by either sex amounts to anything. "Tho primary work of tho man Is to earn his own livelihood to do hia own business, and to do It woll in order to support himself nnd his wlfo and children, and In ordor that tho nation may continue to exist. Exactly as it is truo that no nation will prosper unless tho averngo man Is a homemakor that Is, unless at somo business or trado or profession ho earns enough to mnko a homo for himself and his wlfo and children, and Is a. good husband nnd father so no nation can exist at nil unless tho averngo Vfoman la tho homokeeper, tho good wlfo and unless sho la tho mother of a BUfllclont number of healthy children to lnsuro tho raco going forward and not backward. Tho Indispensable work for tho community Is tho work of tho wife and tho mothor. It Is tho most honornblo work. It Is literally nnd oxactly tha vital work, tho work which, of course, must bo dono by tho aveiago woman or tho wholo nation goes down with a crash." To thoso aspiring women, who dream of pursuing their careers even though they tako unto thomselvos husbands, Teddy says, nay, nay. It Is only tho ex ceptional women, ho asserts women llko Madnmo Homer, Julia Ward IIowo or Harriot Beccher who can successfully hold In tholr hands tho reins of matri mony and an outsldo-of-the-homo career at ono and tho sarao tlmo. It seems to mo that if this is truo thero aro a great many exceptional women. Tho number of women novelists who havo married, raised famlllos end pursued tholr lino of work meanwhile Is legion. Likewise tho number of Wives and mothors who havo engaged In tho work of civic betterment, while keeping a firm hand on tho lover of tho homo, Is past counting. Indeed, It Is an exceptional woman who isn't exceptional these days. k OnJ thing that Teddy writes, howovcr, will warm tho cockles of every worn oi.'s heart. It is: "The woman who keeps tho homo has exactly tho same right to a say in tlio disposal of tho money aa tho man who earns tho money. Earning tho money! Is not one whit moro tndlspensablo than keeping tho homo. Indeed, 1 am Inclined to put It In tho second place. The husband 'who does not glvo his wlfo, aa a matter of right, her share In tho disposal of tho common funds la false to hi" duty. It In not a. question of favor at nil. Asldo from tho money to be spent on common account, for tho household and tho children, the wife has Just tho samo right as tho husband to her pin money, her spending money. It Is not his money that ho gives to her as a gift. It is i hero aa a matter of right. Ho may earn it; but ho earns It because sho keeps the house; and she has Just as much right kit la a right which It ia every woman's duty to ask, and which it should ' man's prido and pleasuro to glvo he grudges It, and sho In hor turn Is tin her right." "'That ought to ba enough to get Teddy anything ho wants; and who knows what ho may not want by tho time Juno - Letters to tho Editor Address all communication! to M'LIm. Ids of the Dear M'Llss Will you kindly publish In your column the answer to the follow ing questions: Would it be appropriate for the groom's mother to dresa In a white Georgette crepe fown at a big church wedding? Also, do tho bride's parents provide rooms for out-of-town guests, at a hotel, 'when they have their house filled with relatives? I saw Mrs. Patrick Campbell In a play Mveral years ago, in which Bho was the Invalid wife of a minister and did not be lieve prayers wera answered. It waa a very Impressive play with a short tltlo, tho name of which I cannot remember. Can you And it out for me? S. A. P. 1. I do not think there could be any thing mare appropriate at this season for tho bridegroom's mother to wear than a Georgette crepe frock of white. By the way, do you know that "groom" means a. man who attends to horses. A man About to be married Is the "bridegroom." 3. Madame Grundy does not demand that the bride's parents pay the hotel ex penses of the out-of-town guests to the GOOD Good form queries should be ad dressed to Deborah Rush, written on one side of the paper ami signed with full name and address, though initials ONLY will be published upon request. On Tuesday the question discussed was, when It Is proper for men to wear even Ins dress, and today the query Ib, when should women wear evening frocks, that Is, the low-cut evening gown. The same rule which hold for tha man does not hold for the woman. These rules change according to cus tom; several years ago it would have been very bad form for women to wear law-cut gownq In the afternoon, and even those who received at afternoon teas and receptions never woro low-necked gowns, now they ro tho proper thing to wear When receiving. But the guests should not wear low frocks to afternoon affairs. The correct dress for an afternoon tea may be either ft tailored suit and fluffy waist, or a one-piece gown. It Is always proper to wear evening gowns to dinners. Hats are not wom to dinners or dances. Company Keeping Dear Deborah Rush I am so Inter ested in reading your good form column.

Yvny u this? i woma appreciate your answer, D. D. McO. Keeping company signifies an under standing between a man and woman that they will go together, excluding other men and girls, with this object In view that if they find (n this constant com panionship great congeniality, they will marry eventually. The expression is not in good form, nor pt it ever ued by refined people, further more. It la very bad form to "keep com pany." Besides being bad form it U not lair to the girl, who lets all her other friends go, and perhaps, after a time, finds jjhe does not care for tho man with whom who U "keeping company-" Aa I said onoa before la this column, expressions such as gentleman friend, girl friend, steady company and keeping company are UIr.

Take Mother's Advice Dear Deborah Rush I went to tha movies with a real nice young man last week o,nd he wanted ma to go again on Monday and yesterday, and my mother said I should not go bq often with hint so she would not let me accept. Do you pee why It was not proper for mo to go?

I should advUe you to do as your mother says In the matter. Finger Bowls .Dear Deborah Rush Should finger bowls be used at any time for breakfast? How should they be placed on the plates? J. SleN.

I havo used It for three years and havo Just ilulshcd tho last of 30 dozen nnd am sorry wo havon't 30 more. Tho tasto Is just tho saino us that of a fresh egg; tho whites and yellowM aro clear, and tho whites beat up nicely. There Is no odor nt all. To ono pint of water glass tako 10 pints of water that has been boiled ard cooled; put into a stono Jar, set lu and ordinary cool cellar. We havo ono part for fruits nnd vegetables which has none of tho pipes tunning into It I should like to Itnow if you used the same formula. Of course, you must be sure of good fresh eggs. I hope 'Render' will meet with better success. Tho shell of the egg usually breaks when boiled for a hard egg. 1 think It Is duo to tho con traction of the shell by tho liquid glass, but only a small portion of tha white boils out. I have found tho process to ba satis factory otherwise. J. A. S."

For Instance, my mother nnd her cousin nre first cousins, their children aro second cousins, and their children's children third cousins. INQUIRER." Your mother's cousin Is your first cou sin onco removed. ICnch generation is counted as "a remove." The calculations becotnn confusing after ono begins upon tho third generation.

Of course tho blister must be broken before anything clso Is done. It cannot be smoothed down to the level of the rest of the wood as it Is. If you are expert In the use of varnish you may, aftor break ing away the blister, tailing care to leave no projecting edges, apply a little thinned marine varnish to the exposed surface, or bleached shellac varnish, thinned to the right consistency with alcohol, and leave covered with a cup or glass all night. Next day rub tho varnish down with fine emery paper, and when the surface Is perfectly smooth varnish again. Pry for another day, repeat the process, and go through each stage on the third day. It roa) not be a flno job, but it will not be so unsightly as the blister. I assume In writing thus that you are not near enough to an experienced worker In flno woods to enlist his services. If you could do this it would be far better than to attempt the "cure" yourself. Wheat Bran Muffins "Will you kindly give me Information on the three inclosed recipes? Are the apples used for apple cake the dried, sweet or sour apples? They make such a dlf. ference. Could you give me a recipa for wheat bran mufllns, and where can I get the flour?

'THE HOME GARDEN FOR Plans for Colorful Flower Beds HHRn, folks, nro a few designs nnd hints for garden beds, Inspired by the following lcttor: Friend John Itartrnm Taking ad- vantngo of your Interesting column, I nm writing to nsk you If you would help ma to design a 10-foot' square plot; something colorful, which, If plnnted nt once, would bloom during tho summer. Also something to har monize with scarlet Bage. Hy so doing you wilt greatly oblige, H. S. P. , L. P. requests Information ns to proper tlmo and distance to plant scarlet eago nnd cannas. Alice wants to know somo surc-to-grow plants (from seed) for a small bed. Zimmerman wants directions for a small bed (size unstated) featuring red and yollow Mowers. All flower beds should bo dug to the dcptli of two feet nnd enfth raked nnd flnod Into a mellow, friable condition.

F. two plans havo been de signed, ono somewhat elaborato and cost ing a fair sum of monoy ; tho other moro slmplo, but nttractlvo In design nnd nt a less expenditure. Tho combination In each Is bused on cannns nnd scarlet sago. Thero aro no difficult curves, stnrs or scrolls, which usually aro beyond tho skill of tho amateur. A measuring tape and a good eye nro all thnt will bo necessary to attain symmetrical results nnd tho achievement will be a constant Joy In con tinuous bloom. In the centro of plan No. 1 Is a cnladlum csculentum ! the cost of a bulb Is 25 cents. This Is tho pivot of a group of 20 camius, planted in two rows. Tlicso will cost from $1 to $2 a dozen, according to tho variety selected ind whether tho roots or growing plants aro Used. Next, working outward, is a Rcrles of rows of scarlet sage, about 120 plnnts being called for, nt tho rate of 50 per 100. Tho finishing edgo Is a slnglo row, all around, of coletts, the requirement be ing 120 or so; tho cost bolng $4 per 100. Tho cannns should bo planted about one foot and a half npart, tho sngo nbout six Inches, tho colcus about four Inches. In each of tho four corners Is a group of halt a dozen scarlot geraniums, costing nbout $1 per dozen. Tho cannas can bo bought as rhizomes, nt n discount In prlco of nbout 20 per cont., up to tho beginning of April. About April 10 they como In grown form, which will mako tho flowering sea son earlier. Tho scarlet saga can bo brought up from seed, but this will delay flowering results.

If desired, the sections may be edged with coleus, hut this is hardly necessary, as tha petunias and popples will fill out the territory. A 25-cent package of seed of each will be requisite. The seed, which are flno. should bo sown in bhallow drills and where they spring up too thickly, can be thinned out. The petunias will transplant to some other part of the garden, but this C R.
