chicken thoroughly with shortening and
cover with flour. Place in the oven and

Grandma Perkins's grandad was n Ill
ram TeoMlale, of Gloucester. England,
nnd this recipe Is over 400 years old.
The original recipe was named Chris
mas Myncc Pye, nnd on the holidays, n
great pyp of Gloucester mynee, made by
good dnme Teesdalc, was always sent as
a tithe from the county to the good
Queene Elyznbeth, and In this wnv royal
favor was conferred on this family by
the queen, who was delighted with the
wonderful concoction.
Black walnuts and hazel nuts were
used in the original recipe, but as these
nuts are quite expensive, the peanuts
will do just as well.

To Clean Velvet Hat
To the Editor of Woman's Vaoe:
Dear Madam Could you please tell
me what to use to clean grease marks
from n light velvet hat? C. A.
You can clean the hut by rubbing it
with benzine weakened with a little
water. Dry it thoroughly, but not too
quickly. That is, keep rubbing it un
til it is dry Instead of drying It over
heat. Brush it carefully to straighten
out the nap.
Wants to Be Stouter
To the Editor of "Woman's raac:
Dear Madam I am a girl nineteen
years old nnd I would like to know of n
way to get stouter. What should a girl
five feet three Inches weigh? I would
like to be stouter, as every one consid
ers me thin. I would also like to know
how to meet some nice fellows, as I
would like to go arounil with them.
BLONDY.
Eat plenty of good food, as much milk
and eggs as possible, and get plenty of
tresli nir and exercise. Try to get eight
full hours of sleep, if not more, every
night. A girl of five feet three should
weigh 120. Don't you know some girls
who would Introduce you to some nice
boys? Join a club of some kind, the
Y. W. C. A. or the Girls' Protective
League if you don't know nny girls. You
will make some nice friends there who
will introduce you to their own frlemls.

Dear Madam On the 28th of De

wedding anniversary, which I believe is
the tin wedding. Kindly givo me some
suggestions regarding the style and
wording of invitations for this occa

sport hats and snort toireerv in
general is worn appropriately only nt
the country club or at the winter resort
where you go to play golf and tennis
in midwinter. No, this type of get-up
is eminently suitable for general utility
wear in town as well. There are
smartly-dressed business women who
adopt it us their working uniform nnd
there arc society girls who wear it for
their morning shopping, committee
meetings and even for an informal
luncheon appointment.
But be sure of this: that the picture
is consistent. Don't wear a sport suit
with a llowcr toque or an ostrich
trimmed hat. Don't wear a sport coat
with white kid gloves. Don't wear
sport shoes with thin, lace silk stock
ings and don't wear high -heeled shoes,
ever, with the sports get-up.
The collar with the sport suit may
be either n high, soft collnr of the sort
that men wear most women actually
buy tlirm at the men's haberdashery.
Or the shirt may have an open neck
like the one in the picture. In either
case a soft four-in-liund is the best
necktie.
Wool jersey is still the favorite fab
ric for the sport suit and this season
perhaps no color is better favored for
this sort of suit than n peacock blue,
sorfcetimes distinctly showing a white
or Tght gray thread in the weave. Va
rious shades of beige are nlso good
and so are some of the browns, provid
ing they are not too dark. Military
looking pockets like those on the suit
shown today arc in very good style.
The straight up and down belted type
of jacket continues to be the favorite
among smart women and you can tell
from the sketch what is the Smart
length for skirt aud jacket in this sort
of suit.

Has Various Opinions
Dear Cynthia I would like to voice
my opinion on some of the letters which
were published the last month.
Now Borne believe In marrying for
money nnd some for love. A pair of
dames not long ago- wrote they were
going to mnrry rich men. Yes, that's
O. K., but how do "we" know "we"
nre?
"Wo" enn't always get what "we"
wnnt. And If "wc" do marry for money
without love, "we" arc most likely to
end "our" careers In n divorce court.
You will soon tire of luxuries, where
as true love lasts till death. Give me
love nnd a flat In preference to half a
dozen gas wagons nnd a castle.
I do not mean for a girl to marry n
man who cannot support her.
I could mnrry a certain girl in
twenty-four hours, but what would I do
with her?
I am not in a position to support her
in the manner iu which she is accus
tomed. The trouble today is thnt the girls nre
so afraid of being left old maids they
grab the first thing thnt comes along,
regardless of love, money or anything
else.
And nbout kKslng I wouldn't marry
a girl that kissed every man thnt she
"went with,"
A kiss now and then is relished by
the best of men.
Yet these kissing games nt a party
or sitting on a settee and kissing every
five minutes until the small hours of
the morning get my goat.
I admit men do it every chance they
get, but I couldn't respect the girl ns
highly us I would one that 1 didn't
kiss.
I hnve a girl whom I have kissed
many times, but she kisses no one else
nnd neither do I, nnd I respect her as
much as any girl I know.
WESSON.
These Beys Are Jealous
Dear Cynthia I nm seventeen vears
old. I met two very nice young men,
one being three years my senior, the
other one year. They nre very refined,
indeed, and havo the best dad and
mother I ever met. Thev have both
taken a very great liking for me, and.
being brothers, arc rather envious of
one another. For instance, if 1 pay more
attention to one. the other feels slighted.
They have often asked me to their
home, but I refused, thinking it im-
.i proper to do so, but they insisted that

evenings at their home. Is it wrong to
do so? TAILOU.
Be pleasant to both young men und
laugh at any idea of ienlousv. I do not
mean poke fun nt them few men can
stand ridicule; but show them that you
like both equally well. You can do this
tactfully try to persuade your parents
to let these boys visit you. It is all
right to go to their house once in a
while. If their mother asks you and your
parents are willing.
l'arents are apt to make a mistake
when they do not welcome their chil
dren's friends to their home. But try
your best to be dutiful and obedient.

It Is n pity you did let him kiss you,

nnd should not be repented.
Make other friends and do not
bother with him.
A Wholo Lot to Talk About
Denr Cynthia In my mind a girl
with a pure white chin nnd nose and,
still worse, a little daub of paint on
each cheekbone is a "freak." Now,
please don't misunderstand me. Pow
ler nnd rouge are a necessity to soma
girls.
.My friend and I arc both known ns
girls with wonderful complexions.
Her complexion is natural nnd mine
comes in box form. That certainly
proves that rouge can bo applied to look
natural. Please do not think me an
egotist, but people so often remark on
her complexion nnd mine.

Water Vessels in Home
The greatest care Is required to keep
household water vessels clean and in
good condition. Water coolers should be
of some material, such as porcelain or
enameled ware, which is easily kept
clean. They .should be scalded at fre
quent intervals. The ice, if it conies in
contact with the wnter, should be of
known quality. Doubtful ice should be
kept from contact with the water. Many
fnmllies cool drinking water by putting
it in the ice box in glnss fruit jars or
bottles.
Where it is believed or known that the
water supply is not pure, n filter should
be used. If n filter Is used every pre
caution bhould be taken to keep it clean
Advises "Worried"
Dear Cynthia Please let me answer
"Worried." Now, my denr friend
"Worried," your trouble is just what
mine was. 1 am twelve years older
than my wife. 1 wns thirty -two nnd
she was twenty. Her people did every
thing they could think of to part us,
and almost succeeded. They even fiunlly
tried the law, as she was under age.
So we waited until she was of age and
we were married. All her folks, also
mine, turned against us, but we hud
each other's love, so did not care.
For two years tlicy did not bother
us, nor did we bother them. And to
day they are all glad to come and
visit us.
Now, "Worried," if you love her ns
you say you do and she loves you, my
advice to you is, get married. When
you marry her you don't marry her
family, but her alone. So what do you
care? Let her people be cross; they
will come around nil right. Show them
that you can make her n good home
and a loving husband. They might be
cross nt first, but that will come out
all right. Every cloud has n silver lin
ing, so buck up and tell her that no
mutter if the whole world turns against
you and her, you will marry her.,
Then, if she will not marry you un
less lier people are willing, it would
show that she does not love you ns sue
says she does. Then drop her ns you
would a hot iron, because if you wait
until they give their blessing you will
never marry her.
AN OLD HEADER.
She Now Makes Friends
Denr Cynthia I wrote you once and
I told you I had nice clothing and nil

Probably thnt is why so many girls :-
go alone through life. . '
Although I am twenty-four winters,
I hnve u lot of boy friends and am con
sidered a "good and jolly pal" among
them. I have not ns yet found my
"mute." But I think the whole trouble
is that I nm unfortunate in having for
friends the kind of fellows who like
to "kiss u girl the first night." . And

them, I can't give them up, ns I see
them all three times u week at different
clubs. ,
Beforo 1 close 1 want to say n few

Don't give up your hopes'. There cef
tninly must bo one good girl for you
some place in this world. Don't think
for a minute thnt all girls arc like your
"lost" girl, because when a girl loves
she loves with all her heart and soul,
aud there is no other mun in the wide
world for such a girl but the one she
loves. Cynthia can assure you of that.
Take her advice, aud let us all hear
from you again.
By the way, why can't you let us
know who you are. Cynthia?
EVERYBODY'S PAL.
If you see no reason why girls should
not let boys kiss them, why do you
regret the fact thnt your friends are
thoso who want to kiss you? Pretty
inconsistent, don't you think? Pro
miscuous kissing is u very great mis
take, both for moral and sanitary rea
sons. Mnuy a silly girl has had reason
to regret promiscuous kissing nil her
life. There is no argument for it.
He Does Not Call Now
Dear Cynthia I am a young girl still

In September I met a boy whom I
learned to like very much. He used to
come to see me as often as three times
a week nnd this kept up for six weeks.
About four weeks ago he stopped com
ing entirely. I know he cared for me,
but, oh ! Cynthia, I allowed him to do
MARIE WANTS TO KNOW
IF DANCING IS WICKED
Her Parents Will Not Allow Her to Learn, She Says, but She
Loves Music So and It Seems to Be Such Fun
TS DANCING really f,o wicked?"
asks a wistful young correspondent,
"It seemB to bo so much fun, nnd 1
love music, but my pnrents will never
allow me to lenru to dance or go to
dances. They sny it Is wicked."
If a girl's parents want her to think 4
thnt dnnclng Is wicked, then nn out
sider bus no right to tell her anything
different. But an outsider can (and
herewith docs) put in n few words of
pleading for the sake of that girl. It's
only natural for a girl to want to dance.
If she's young and full of life and
health, and, above all, able to keep
time to music. When n girl of this
kind is very, very happy, that fceliug
goes straight to her feet. If she knew
how to dance she could start a dance
record nud dance out her joy In nbout
ten minutes. As It is, she must take it
out all dny long nt intervals in the un
graceful hops and skips of a young bird
thnt has not learned to fly. "I don't
sco why Mario walks so heavily," her
parents will complain during these
paroxysms. "Why, nt her ago I was
as light ns a feather!" She has never
been allowed to learn to be light: that's
all.
There is such a strong argument in
favor of allowing a girl to dance. If
that desire of hers to dance is strong
enough nnd it's bound to be pretty
strong when she is the only girl who
doesn't dunce among a dozen or more
who do she will learn somehow, some
where in school during recess, ut an
other girl's house, nt a party. Once
she knows how the temptation to try
her skill will be irresistible. If she is
not permitted to have thnt pleasure in
the natural, proper way, in her own
home, with the consent nnd encourage
ment of her parents, then she will find
that other wrong wny sneaking off uu
chaperoned to the public dancehnll
without permission. The fact thnt she
Is doing something that her family does
not know about, and would not allow if
thpy did know, makes a thrilling ad
venture of every visit to tho place.
And undoubtedly this is wrong. Both
what she docs and the way she does it.
rmiEN
'I along
a little girl starts prancing
the street iu time to the
grinding of a street orgun, Hint's not
considered wicked. It's cute. When
she gets n little older must she restrnin
all that love of rhythm, that gift that
is not given to all of us? Singing,
expressing u love of music with the
voice is not wicked, it is beautiful. It
is an art. Dancing may bo considered
ns simply using the feet instead of the
voice as an instrument' with which to
express that same art iu a different
way.
If Marie is taught the right kind of
dancing under the proper influences,
she will never find anything wicked in
it. If she is allowed to dance with
other girls, with boys, in her own home
with the approval of her parents, she
will be satisfied, nnd it will never oc
cur to her to sneak off to n dance hall
when she Is supposed to be practicing
basketball. Anything that a girl Is de
nied In this wny, anything that is re
fused admittance into her home and
her life, will become one of those de
lightful stolen plcnsures. "I'll do it
Just once, nobody will know," bIio
promises herself each time. But tho
hnblt grows.
Taken this wny, or rnther taken away
this way, there Is no doubt that danc
ing is wrong. But it is the wav Maria
Is compelled to find expression for her
lovo of rhythmical music, on account
of the attitude of her parents.
Vase Coasters
These pretty trifles protect table tops
from the, stray drops from the flower
vase. Have circles, nbout six inches,
cut from ordinary glnss (I got three
from a broken window pane). Cut
paper the s.-yne size nnd plan simple,
border design by folding circle in equal
parts and cutting n pattern. Pasto
paper on one side of glnss und on oppo
site side paint In the design with
enamel. For the edge: use passe-partout
binding; or take n long piece of
reed, nnd nt one end coll Into circle
nbout one and a half inches less In di
ameter than the glass. Continue to sew
rows of reed round nud round with
raffia, using buttonhole-stitch, until it
forms a little frame size of glass. Sew
two more coils inside last to come over
edge of glass. Bright-colored pictures
or milkweed may be put under tho
coasters 'if they hnve heavy cardboard
backs. Modern Priscilla.
Peasant Blouses
The peasant blouse which slips on
over the head and fastens on the
shoulders is very populnr now, and
surely there is nothing more convenient
for housework,. No buttons to button,
no collar to arrange, no possibility of
the tail of the waist coming up abovo
the belt. It is over the belt, andi so
thnt worry is relieved. These waists
are not hnrib to make, cither, ns they
are usually cut with a square or V neck
and kimono sleeves. All thnt is neces
sary is to put a band of trimming
around the edge, the sleeves nnd tho
neck, make a belt and put some snap
fasteners on the shoulders. And there
you are with a new blouse.

Edison's Musical Miracle
may be seen, heard,
weighed and tested in the

The Phonograph fl
With a Soul"

The "Chippendale," one of the most
beautiful period types of
the Edison
Why should you see this phono
graph before you decide on your
Christmas purchase for your home?
Because it is
"a convincing demonstration of the
power of a man to produce tone from
an instrument so perfectly as to defy
detection when compared side by side
with the tone of the original produc
ing artist"
Says Musical America.
Because
"the ear could not tell when it was
listening to the phonograph alone and
when to actual voice and reproduction
together"
Says New York Evening Mail.
Because it is
"impossible to distinguish between
the singer's living voice and its re
creation by the musical instrument
that bears the stamp of Edison's
genius"
Says the Boston Herald.
Because
the paragraphs just quoted were
written by music, critics who had been
asked to comparison tests of the
voices of living artists with the NEW
EDISON Re-Creations of those voices.
We invite you
to come to the NEW EDISON Phono
graph Shop at your convenience and
see and hear and judge for yourself.
This is the great music period of
the year the home period the pe
riod of long evenings indoors, when
music makes the hours fly. If you
haven't got a phonograph in your
home if you haven't got one that
gives you the sort of music you want,
Come and hear
the NEW EDISON
A phonograph, once bought, should
be the companion and inspiration of
a lifetime. It should be carefully selected.
