A ALUE OF GOOD CHEER AT DINNER NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED DAILY SERIAL FEATURE LAUGHTER WITH ONE'S MEALS TO WARD OFF INDIGESTION Nothing More Conducive to Good Digestion Than a Cheerful Dinner Table Letter From Indignant "New" Woman r: IS rather Shocking taste after having broken bread at a house to criticize tie'a hosts but, well, the actual Incident t carefully disguised. , I was dining with an extremely clever Woman and her rather neutral-toned hus band a week or so ago. Three older chil dren were also at the table. During the entire meal the parents' conversational efforts In my direction wero Interrupted by slants taken at the children. One child was brought almost to the verge of tears by thoughtless ridicule, while another was hardly able to choke down his food be cause his father had administered a stern rebuke for his failure to obey In some particular. AND as a looker-on I wondered not at the many dyspeptics In this country. We, In America, do not fuly realize tha Value of a. cheerful meal on the digestive organs. Parents so often, because It is the only time the clan Is gathered to gether, make an Inquisitorial board of the dinner table, little realizing that the ef fect of this mental disturbance will have its reaction on the stomach. Family life on the continent differs greatly from ours In this respect. It Is the invariable cus tom to make the meal a cheerful and en livening one, and If the viands are simple, talk flows freely. As a result there are fewer dyspeptics among the Europeans. There Is always much laughing and Joking whenany one loses his appetite and is accused of "being in love," but physicians agree that any emotion will undoubtedly affect one's whole nervous system with a consequent loss of appetite. You know yourself that extreme anxiety Will make you lose all desire for food, and anger has the came effect. And although happiness is most essen tial, any extreme excitement such as a child's anticipation of a holiday which makes him gulp down his food in mouth fuls, will be disturbing to the general health. , MY EXPRESSED opinions regarding a girl's abstinence from drinking and amoklng have brought a letter from a woman who assails this view as "narrow and behind the times." She says: "You evidently ignore the fact that a woman these days Is on an equal plane with Vyvettes A nlmvheeMike feather ornament such as this should bo on a high place so that is why this hat has been built up as high as possible to support it in the breeze. men. You probably countenance a man's smoking or drinking, yet would deprive women of this privilege Just because they belong to a different sex. Smoking ha become such a common thing among women that any one who frowns upon it must be counted drtadfully out of the modem picture, quite mid-Victorian, In fact, and believing firmly in the double standard throughout." MY DEAR indignant "advanced" per son. I beliove In nothing of the sort. But, It seems to me that with a single code of morals for men and women It 13 rather better to raise the standard, to make It In fact a fifty fifty proposition, than to lower the entire code. When I spoke of the folly of leading a gay and giddy existence, I was arguing,, you may remember, purely from the physical standpoint, and not the ethical or moral.

By "MA" SUNDAY A WEALTHY advertising man from n western city, who was making a busi ness trip to New York, related recently an experience he had had with a cabaret party he had been persuaded to join. One of his eastern commercial friends, determined to entertain him according to tho standards of the White Light district, invited him to accompany him and another friend to dinner nt a famous Broadway cabaret restau rant. rT.'JwlJJA,JAulJJJalB,'''"i!S When he arrived he found three very much painted, but pretty and extreme ly young girls in the party, and he de murred, urging that he was a married man, "and didn't go in for that sort of thing." But his friend met his pro tests with a laugh. So, rather than put Ihe other in nn embarrassing position, he consented to stny with the party and see tho dinner through. As tho wine flowed more and moro freely about the tabic the conversation became pregnant with innuendoes and questionable jokes. Tho advertising man felt increasingly ill at ease as he thought of his wife and children at homo and compared the former with the painted girls. He became convinced that his friend had deceived him as to the true char acter of the pretty, blonde dolls who were their companions, and determined to speak his mind forcibly when they were alone. The climax was reached when, on the way from the restaurant to the taxicab stjnd outside, ono girl pressed his arm and, in n dulcet whisper, asked him if he were going to give her a little present. "What for?" he demanded in amaze- ment. "I can't see that you have done anything for me that I should pay you for!" "Times are hard," the girl sighed prettily, "and I have given you my company all evening. That ought to be worth something," she pouted, "and besides it is the customary thing nowadays!" The advertising man gave a short grim laugh. "I am afraid you are up against a hard-headed' Scotchman this time, who doesn't have to pay for his dinner company, and who never yet has given some thing for nothing, in business or otherwise!" The girl seemed deeply offended, but he pleasantly pushed her into a taxicab and paid the driver to take her home alone. What new species of female is Broadway breeding these days in the so called Salamander? She has the mistaken idea that if she plays safe, if she keeps her virtue, it doesn't make any difference how much she cheapens it. I have as little respect for her as I do for the other woman. The Salamander isn't even a fair sport. She clings to the pitiful little shred she persuades herself is her virtue, heedless of the fact that she has betrayed her purity of soul, even although her body may remain unsullied. ' Poor, little, foolish Broadway girls, take heed! To her who hath not the true essence of virtue even that which she hath shall be taken away and you will be despised for that which you have not done!
