&1 thb universe, for it is her choice of
food that determines her family s
usefulness.
It is in the kitchen of the home
that men and women are either
made or unmade. Drink, rascalitv,
' waywardness and criminality can
oftentimes be traced to the food
Which ia fed the family.
No two individuals can eat and
prosper upon the same food. And it
Is here that the mother must use
Iter knowledge and know that Johnny
fieeds a glass of milk and t o or (
threo extra sandwiches between
meals, owing to the fact that his j
energetic activities consume hi& en j
crgy supply much quicker than his;
sister Susie'tj do, as she plajs quietlv
with her dolls.. So, too, with bi
sister; she just abhors a heaity meal,
but she would enjoy a dainty sand
wich, a salad and a cup of tea.
So, you see, the up-to-date mother ,
who studies the requirements of her '
family must needs keep on the job.
The woman-who puts off the prepa- j
ration of a meal until the last few
minutes before it is served, and then
must madly rush to the butcher shop
exclaiming that anything will do for
A ionight, lias no time to become ae-
w quainted with nutrition or loou val
ues. Perhaps she belongs to the
class that I have named as "Five

The Commonplace House

Although its windows faced the

And uever thought It bright or

Nor saw I anything at all
To catch or hold my fancy there.
Indeed, I never might have known
How near to Heaven a House

Across the hedge you looked at

Each morning Ituth would wonder

and she was afraid not to go there. Sup.
poso she didn't go to Fleta'o and Fletn
In an apparently Innocent way told
about the bridge-playing. Ruth knew
quite well that Fleta could do It In the
nicest way possible She might drop It
casually oer at Natalies s-me after

open her eyes wide and say, "Is she that

And then rieta would say, "Of course

girl." rieta could to easily make It
seem ps though sho had been entirely
innocent In the matter.
Of course, Ruth was not aulte normal
about the entire thing, she was too wor
ried and !ho saw matters in an un
natural light. Her one idea now was
to keep It from facrtt. He would neicr
'ove her again If he knew that she was
capable of gucIi deception.
Friday morning she decided to write
fletf a little note. The more she thought
about it the more It appealed to her,
and finally sho sat down and wrote it.
It, was a simple enough little letter, say
ing that she would be unable to play
that next afternoon, and after she had
mailed it she felt better. That night
she wrs the old Ruth again. artles and
happy. She bubbled ever with nonsense,
but Scott was unusually grae. To tell
the truth. Scott was worried about his
own aafflra. The stock which ho was
dabbling In was not doing so well, and
theiu was grave danger that the money
ho had imested might bo entirely wiped
out.
In the middle of dinner the telephone
rang.
"You unswer It, will you, dear?" asked
Ruth as she flew Into the kitchen for
the coffee and dcsert.
The net minute hr heart sank a she

Mrs. Seirs, Just a minute. I'll call her

he said, coming back Into the dining

phone. She wrs fur'ously angry with
herbelf frr not waiting until c enlng to
mall the letter but bhe had been to
eager to get It off, and so rel'eed. Well,
she wouldn't go to the bridge, "he livl
said so and she wouldn't. And In some
way she would get that money und pay
it back and then "he would neer plav

telling Scott first all about It.
"Hellc." uho sPld, taking up the le

Ruth feel again that she had been h'lly
and childish bhe waveied Hgaln. When
Fleta was not near enough to Influence
her, she seemed like n bad Intlueice to
Ruth, at other times she was just charm

and unable to cope with any situation.
"lou're not ill, are jou dear?"
Ruth was try'ng to think quickly.
"No, but I can't manage to play to
morrow, Fleta, much as I'd like to. There
was nothing leally binding about It. I
srld I'd come If I could."
"Yes, but ln't It rather late to tell

Flfta's oice back of the sweetness
"I'm bj sorry, but you just told ine
you have askfd a friend so It ought
not to matter bo very much "
There was an Instant's pwkward
silence, then camo Fleta's olce. "All
right, I'm sorry you didn't let me know
earlier."
"It was thoughtless of me." Ruth
drew a long breath, "fahall I ste jou
soon?"
"Oh. yes, I'll run in on jou sometime
when you don't expect it.
Ruth hung up and turned away. Was
there something behind thobe words?
Hadn't that little laugh prophesied
something, or was It entirely her own
Imagination?
Sho went back to the dining room with
flaming cheeks. Scott looked up
curiously.
"Do you plaj cards oer at Mrs.
Sears on Saturdays?" ho asked.
Ruth started. Sho had forgotten that
she had said so herself a moment ago
oer the telephone.
"sometimes"
"la It a club or anj thing like that,

"No."
Ruth was afraid of the nut question
and almost held her breath, but it did

ABOUT WOMEN WHO AFFECT
THE NEW SLINKING WALK.
Dear Knows, There's No Harm in Gliding Around Like a SnaTtet '
, but the Question Is, Does a Woman or Docs She Not
Want to Be Laughed at?
APROPOS of the far-famed "shimmy"
" danco I heard an fleer remark:
"Tho night I first saw that all I know
was I wanted to go back to Franco
and stay there. You do not seo such
danclna; in France."
Wo wont go into tho "shimmy" dance
here, but havb you noticed the woman
who slinks Is in again? I mean the
woman who sways from aldo to side
as she walks and slightly reminds ono
of a black pussy cat with green eyes?
Why do women cultivate these ab
nurd styles In walking? Tho clothes
of the minute certainly do not demand
a spineless glide. A tight skirt, it is
true, does not admit of 'eaplng free'v
across curbstones or of getting off
and on street cars with abandon, but
most of us mana-jo to tret alont In our
new spring suits without adopting a
gait like a marcel wave, ,
Thero la no harm. Koodness knows.

To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam I read tho article in

Sooner Than Men." and then afterward
T read the letter a reader sent In. I
'hlnk that the wife and mother cannot

tinual drain on her. You can take me.
for Instance. I havo four ch ldren, all
of them under twelve. We ore pot pov
erty stricken, but with the high cost of
heln I can't afford to keep anj It Is
is much as I can do to havo a wash
woman. Now all the rest of tho work
falls on my shoulders except what my
two llttlei Klrls do to help mo and I
n't keep them In the house ery tnuch,
'or I think the fresh air does them good

The effect of the lovely black velvet
gown with its rose brocade vest was
completely lost. The hat in rose straw
waa really as pretty as it could be,
but I am sure no one gave the woman
credit for having' good taste. Good
tnste Is more or less associated with
common sense, and the woman who
elided In absurd fashion over to the
writing desk in the far corner of the
room seemed utterly devoid of it.
THB pity of it is that frequently a
woman who has adoDterl a slllj
mannerism such as this has common
sense In overv wav but Just this one,
nn1 It seems a shime that she be so
blind and thu3 ruthlessly slay her
chances for admiration and pnpular'ty
For an absurd walk, very plainly put
on for effect, can do very serious
th'ngs to a woman's popularltv. For
every man who would be wl'llng to
brave the glances of tho pissersbv in
taking her up the street there are nine-tv-nine
who wouldn't face tho rldlculo
for anv amount of money
Tho woman, who lias dellberatolj
nrfnnte'l a mnerism no mattr how
smart and clever it mav seem to her
se'f nr even to her immediate women
fr'ends, ought to consider these things
ser'nusly, if she wishes' to nvoid tho
rMleule of thosp with whom she comes
In contact and instead train their
genuine friendship and admiration.
