MUST ONE GO OUT TO WORK
TO HOLD HUSBAND? ASKS M'LISS
Softie Do Say That Staying at Home and Mind
ing the Baby Induces a Proecss of
Vegetation Which Bores Spouse
WlLVT la a poor, weak woman to do, anyway?
First comes Teddy to toll us tliat onty tlio exceptional woman can marrj'
nnd go out of tho home. Comes now Mrs. Chariot George she's nn aelreat and
In addition a prominent Massachusetts woman, tho nleco of a Clocrnor and nil
that who declares that tho only way to hold one's husband's affections la to go
out and work.
It does seem such n very dlfllcult feat to perform this "holding one's lilis
band's Affections." Judging from the reams that arc written about It, one would
imagine that as soon ns a man turns from tho hymeneal nltar his emotions tow aid
his wlfo do a back somersault and his ardent lovo turns to nurplo luito. The
distrait wlfo then, by means of curl papers, French gowns, good food nuiett
good food bends her efforts to winning hint back.
Some say she must bo womanly as womanly as a Dickons lieroliio lilits a
Richardson lady rolled Into one. Others declare portentously that she must bo
an ''economic entity."
If only wo dHn't have to slcept If It were possible, nl-tst to bo tho ideal wlfo
nnd mother and homekcepcr for 12 hours a day and tho busy little commercial
beo tho othor 12, what an Eljslum would obtain and what a silencer would bo
put upon tho dissenting commentersl
Now Mrs. Georgo believes that In order to keep her husband for lief Very
o-vn It Is necessary for n woman to hold tight to her profession. Not that itiott
aro "brutes and like women to bo monoy-gettei s, hut merely that tho woman who
ceases to rub elbows with tho world loses something that makes hor nioro nttrne
tlvo than tho woman who submerges her peisonnllty lit the homo Sho says:
"I don't bollcvo In a woman's giving up her work If sho can hoi!) It, for this
reason: A man Is a ltally actlvo crcaturo mentallj. Ho not only likes to bo
entertained, but, whether ho admits It or not, ho likes a woman who is bright
enough to bo ablo to keep abreast of him. Now sho can't vegetnto and do that.
Tho thing that keeps us llko burnished sword blades muntallv, quick nnd bright
and supple. Is tho constant polish of keeping up with current events. If a woman
wants to keep a man's Interest Rho must stay allvo. and to do this sho must bo
In a position to see tho things that aio going on about her. Meanwhile, however,
Bho must guard ngnlnst the serious nicnnco that lurks In this the danger of
becoming so Involved In the tilings going on about iter, so nusoi licit that sho
becomes abstracted and loses her sympathy with hut husband's Intotcsts.
"Thero aro two pltfnlls which a woman nnd her husband must beware of
Hnd ono Is as great as tho other. Sho must be on her gunid not to bocotno ro
Interested In him and In nothing but him that sho bores him to death; and sho
m'ist not bo so Interested In outsldo things and nothing but outsido things that
sho hurts him bojond euro by her neglect."
Wo renllj ought to consider outselves blessed, I suppose, to bo living In this
wondorful woman's nge. But has It not Its disadvantages'' Mon nro beginning
to expect so much of us. Wo mustn't boio them; wo must keep our mentality
"burnished llko sword blades," wo mustn't glow old; wo mustn't demand too
much of their monoj; wo mustn't neglect out homes; wo mustn't relinquish our
professions. All mo! I'm beginning to boliovo that tho shackled dames of
medloval times aro the enviable ones, after all.
What do you think about lt7
We Never Learn
Says tho philosopher of the olllce. who Is homethlng of a pessimist:
"Tho only logical thing about life Is tho cei utility Unit It must etui. It theio
bo nny logic at all nbout what goes on between lifu nnd death men would havo
found It out long ago nnd wo should
school, whereas we spend our lives under
sho raps us over tho knuckles every othei moment becatibo wo cannot leant out
lessons and be good without being prigs, and do right without sticking It thiough
other pcoplo's peace of mind as ono sticks a pin through a buttoiily."
I don't ngreo with him that men havo found out evci tiling either nbstiact
or concrete but 1 llko what ho tays about being good without being pilgs
Somo peoplo do succeed in making viituo so obnoxious. Just as otheis havo the
wicked faculty for being vicious and attractlv o! M'USS.

GIRL DIVES 8 FEET;
FRACTURES HER SPINE
Daughter of Millionaire in Plas
ter Cast in Effort to
Avert Paralysis
NEW YOttK, April 8 SIlss Marjorle S.
Chase, 10-year-old daughter of Irving S
Chase, millionaire clock manufacturer of
Waterbury, Conn, Is in tho Poljcllnlc
Hospital. She Is Incased In a plaster
cast, which reaches from her chin to her
hips, and the rear part of the cast envel
ops the base of her skull. ,
As a result of a dive in which Miss
Chase miscalculated tho depth of tho
water she will bo forced to lie In a rigid
position for several weeks
One of the upper vertebrae of Miss
Chase's spine is fractured, and this treat
ment was resorted to as the only possible
means of averting paralysis or inflamma
tion of the spine.
Despite her suffering SIlss Chase la a
cheerful patient and is able to converse
with friends over the telephone at her
bedside.
The plaster, which was wrapped about
the torso while suspended In the air, was
wound so the arms are free.
Miss Chase was hurt on March 27
In diving at the beach ot Tort Antonio.
Jamaica. She and several others accom
panied her father; who was making a tour
of the West Indies.
Miss Chase, an expert swimmer and
diver, dived off a rail about eight feet
above the water. Although she made a
specialty of diving In shallow water, she
overestimated this depth and her head
struck the sandy bottom with such force
that her spine was fractured
Although stunned, she was able to stand
up and felt no pain Miss Chase did not
know she was Injured to any great extent
until she tried to walk, when she discov
ered she had lost the use of her limbs
Mr. Chase and members of the party
carried her ashore, where medical examin
ation disclosed the nature of her Injury

THE HOME GARDEN FOR
PLEASURE AND PROFIT
By JOHN
HINTS ON PLANTING TIMES
Tho tlmo for safe pi inting Is a matter
that worries tho nmutfur girdenir It
Is better to bo suro than sonv Karly
planting Is nil very good In cortnln iltu
atlons. well drained with eastern exposure
and protection from tho north and west
winds If this aggregation of circum
stances Is not possible, it Is bei,t to dolay
until nature gives a relWblo signal Ono
of tho best indications of tho safe time to
put flings Into tho ground is tho blossom
ing of tho trees
The earliest planting Is ot tho peas,
tho smooth sealed varieties Tho wrinkled
varieties must bo put in when the ground
is warm, but tho others resist cold and
oven wet ground When tho leaves appear
on the maples It Is safo to put tho smooth
peas In Tho flowering of tho peach Is
tho signal for the other varieties, which
nro of a moro dollcato ilavor, but lack tho
earllness which makes tho smooth kinds
so 'tastj" before any other crop is ready
About tho samo time it Is hafo in thiH
latitude to put out onion i-ets The"o
aio tiny bulbs which have been grown the
preceding jear Thej give n good crop
of scullions for early eating and tho
ground used for them can bo later sown
with beets or tome other crop A pint,
planted to the extent of half a dozen feet
for a row. at Intervals of three or four
days will glvo a sueeesslon Ono long row
can bo planted to mature In the ground,
onions can bo dug up from time to tlmo
for ut.e. the row thus Is thinned out to
allow room for tho remainder to attain
full size
As soon as tho ground can bo worked
Into a fairly fine condition a couple of
rows of spinach can be seeded in This
will give room later for another crop.
When the cheny blossoms open Is a
good tlmo to put In onion seed for the
main cron. These can bo thinned out
generously for tnble use, permitting the
residue to mature fully
This, too, Is a safe time for putting out
lettuce plants, which can be bought for
nbout 15 cents a dozen, or started lit a
cold frame or in boxes indoors.
ilndlshcs can safely bo planted In the
open at this time
You will have to wait till the pear trees
blossom before putting out the early car
rots, turnips and parsnips
I'arslej' and t.ago can be planted for the
herb garden (which every amateur should
have, as it takes up only a few square
feet of ground In a corner) at this time
The parbley Is very slow to germinate und
should bo soaked over night to give the
seeds a start before they are put Into their
place In shallow drills This Is a safe
date also to put out, cabbage plants if
any have been grown In the cold frame
Cabbage plants of the early varieties can
be bought for a few cents a dozen at the
nurserymen's.
Late tomatoes can be planted out In the
open In a temporary seed bed at this date
But It will be too early to set out plants.
Strawberry Dessert
Now that btrawberrles are getting more
reasonable In price, strawberry desserts
are in order A tapioca pudding with
a garniture of strawberries Is easily made.
First of all, the berries must be cleaned
and drained well.
New prepare the tapioca with a quart
of scalded milk, using about a half cupful
to the tapioca. Cook for a quarter of an
hour in a double boiler. Beat together
the yolks of 2 eggs, a half cupful of sugar
and a plm of salt Stir this Into the
milk Cool the mixture, and put Into
individual glasses. Now, in order to util
ize jour egg-whites, beat them to a stiff
froth with feome powdered sugar, add to
this a cupful of fresh strawberries,
slightly mashed. Serve as a dressing for
the pudding. This dessert should be
chilled before putting on the table.
For Future Reference
Twisting soft corks on to the places
where the knobs of cooking utensils used
to be has saved one woman many small
burns.
