RECIPES FOR CHILDREN
Well - Cooked Meat and
Vegetables Are Necessary
for the Growing Boy or
Girl
Beef Stew on Toast With
Baked Potatoes Is Nutri
tious, Inexpensive and
Appetizing
By MRS. M. A. WILSON
(tonrHiM. ISIS, bv lira. It. A. Wilson.
Alt
FEEDING the growing child properly
well -cooked food ninkes the mother
realize that haste makes waste and
that for the physical well-being of licr
child it is vitally important that all
vegetables and meat should bo well
cooked.
. 'I'his means that tne cellulose struc
ture, of the vegetable? mutt be softened
and that the starch content should be
dextorized and ready for digestion.
Cook potatoes by first thoroughly
scrubbing them to cleanse and then
dropping them into boiling water and
yoking until tender. Drain free iruiu
the water, cover with a piece of chccsc
.cloth and allow to steam for five min
utes on the back of the range. This
will produce a dry mealy potato that
U easy to digest.
When the potatoes start to cook bring
the water quickly to the boiling poinj
and then reduce the heat so that the
water will boil evenly and allow, for
email potatoes abmit 18 minutes; for
medium-sized potatoes, So minutes ; and
for large potatoes, about 30 minutes.
)6 not pare; much of the valuable
mineral elements lie directly under the
thin, paper-like skin and are needed bv
tho growing child for bone and tooth
tissue structure.
Well-cooked carrots, cut into dice,
spinach, cauliflower, mashed turnips,
celery, onious all afford a splendid
variety.
Never use soda for any purpose in
"Cooking your chlldren.'i food. Soda not
only destroys tho valuable titnminos,
but It also causes other digestive dis
turbances. Allow nil foods sufficient
'time to cook thoroughly.
Meat may bo given to children from
the time they are two years old. Tender,
well-cooked beef, minced orl scrapped
fine at first; beef and lamb stews m
baked in casserole dishes; chicken,
boiled or baked fish free from skin and
Jmncs all offer wide opportunities.
Do not give young children bacon,
hom, pork or veal, sausage or corned
beef or any other pickled or preserved
meats. Pot roast, steamed or stewed or
buked and broiled methods may be used
for cooking. Never permit fried foods,
cither meat or anything else; dried
beef or smoked fish hac no place in the
child's diet.
Supplement the regular menu with at
least three glasses of good, rich milk and
a liberal serving of pure creamery nut
ter' and well-baked home-made bread.
Do not season highly any of the chil
dren's food. Spices and seasoning all
vteact iu' ovcrstimulatiug the liver nnd
kidneys.
Place a half pound of hamburg steak
in a saucepan and add
One and one-hatf cups of boiling
tatter,
One branch pf celery.
One-half onion.
Bring quickly to a boil then place
where It will simmer for three-quarters
of an hour. Thicken with cornstarch,
then season and add
One teaspoon of finely chopped pars
ley. Pour over well-buttered toast. Tills
amount will serve three small or two
large children in the following menu ;
Dinner
Tieef Stew with Toast
Baked Potatoes Spinach
LcttUdi
Apple Tapioca Cocoa
How to Halie 'Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then
place in a saucepan and cpver with
boiling water. Bring quickly to a boil
and cook for ten minutes. Drain nnd
"Wipe, dry, then rub with shortening aud
place In a hot oven to bake. This has
tens the process of baking by thoroughly
heating tho potato.
Be careful about utilizing leftovers ;
ratter cook sufficient for the meal. Tsc
-day-old bread and toast; never hot
wakes, fresh bread, biscuits or pastry.
There is a beautiful Irish legend that
the lads and lassies who eat their bread
toasted will have the shiniest eyes, the
whitest teeth and the curliest hair, so
tench vour little ones to chew each
"" mouthful of food before swallowing it.
Qulping food means intestinal disorders.

A SIMPLE DESIGN,
BUT LINE' IS GOOD
$M-
Jel is the trimming that forms these
rings all over the frock of Mack
satin. Jet also edges the short
sleet cs and trims the net for "le
girdle. The home dressmaker would
not find this at all difficult to fol
low and yet it Is the height of good
style
Dally Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
THIS is just to show something that
you may know already. However,
if you arc like the majority of women
jou do not fully realize it. That is,
that the smart things of this season arc
really very simple in design. In spite
of all their resplendency of color, their
embroidery, beaded effects nnd their
metallic brocades, the design itself is
not elaborate. In fact it is very simple.
How much more successful would the
womcu be who make their own frocks
or who have them made by the small
dressmakers if they only realized this
fact! The trouble so often is that they
attempt something intricate. They plan
a frock for borne special gorgeous oc
casion and they look through the fashion
magazines and select one of the most
intricate of the designs. It would be
far more sensible to belect a simple de
sign and concentrate on that, making
Sure that the line was well carried out
and that the material was properly cut
and draped.
Now in tho frock I nm showing the
material is black satin, which continues
to be one of the most highly favored
fabrics with the. high -priced designers.
There arc rings o'f jet nallheads all over
the frock and a narrow jet fringe on
the smart short sleeves, and jetted net
is used for the girdle and the bow.
Now 'the less skillful designee might
nave given in to tne temptation to add
just a little more here or there. ' She
might haver touched up the frock with
a lace collar or added some skirt dranerv
or let a little fullness in the bodice
and if she had, the dress would have
ceased to be Interesting ceased to be
a work of art. For the art in this
frock, as in almost all other frocks
tliis season, depends on its simplicity.
Take any group of small-town women
gathered at a tea or card party women
who spend freely on their clothes,
women who think more than they would
like to admit about what they wear.
First you are struck with the fact that
with very few exceptions they are not
well dressed rich fabrics are there to
be sure, lovely laces and priceless furs
mayhap. What is the matter?
TJsually If you observe closely you will
see that most of the, frocks are too
much trimmed, too complicated. There
are too many fashions begun and too
few carried put. You can't always
blame the dressmakers. It is usually
.the fault of the women who bVe not
opeaed their eyes to the act that it is
the line in fashion that plays the Im
portant part ad that the frock that is
too much trimmed i.,rebb of lt jd

in her way und the owner who would
not come for it.

not want it I hope she will writo to me
so that I can tend her iininii und ad

so glad to take the pinno out of hir
way. This seems like a most satisfac
tory arrangement, if the owner of the
piano is ngreeablc to it. 1 hope it will
work out all right.
Needs Physical Culture
To the Vditor of Woman's l'aoe:
Dear Madam My neck is very bony
and the bones In my chest arc very
prominent. Will you tell me how I can
overcome. thlr? How enn I make my
legs thinner?. They are very stout.
I do a great deal ot walking. Do you
think- that causes it? How can I re
duce a large bust? it. y, jics.
Walking is just the right tiling for
you to do. When you do it tuke deep,
long breaths, inhaling for several steps
and exhaling just us slowly. Th'is will
help develop your chest, and cover the
prominent bones, if you do it regularly
enough. Consult u physical culture ex
pert for exercises that will make our
circulation more regular and reduce
your legs and bust. The walking would
not affect your legs, except to make
them firmer. Regular prescribed exer
cise will reduce you where you want to
reduce, and fill you out where you want
to develop, but an expert will have to
give you the exercises.
Surprise Freedom Party
To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam I am going to give a
freedom party to my boy and I want
t to be a surprise party, too. Kindlv
inform me how to go about it: how to
fix the table and the room. The com
pany will be all his boy and girl
fi'IlUf, READER.
Arrange the table with a large bunch
of flowers in the center and candlesticks
at the four corners of the centerpiece.
Keep the party a secret until the guests
arrive. Ask tlu-in to meet somewhere
and come together. As thev arrive,
have them ring a "Liberty Bell" td
proclaim the -freedom" of their host.
Have small Liberty Bells as favors.
Ufcc flowers as decorations for the room.
Sash for Velvet Dress
To the Editor of Woman's Paoc:
Dear Madam I have a velvet dress
and would like to know whut kind of.
a sash or bow would bp appropriate to
wear with it. MISS M. K.
A girdle of soft satin with long ends
would be pretty on u velvet dress, or
one of the metul girdles, "ceintures,"
that are so popular now. These metul
belts ure usually tied in a single knot
low about the hips. A belt of the
velvet, finished with a pretty buckle,
would look well, if you have any of the
material.

It is bad enough to have shoulder

SYNOPSIS
Virginia West outers boarding
school und immediately becomes
friendly with Kathleen Foster, the
lender of tho school. Virginia's
friendship is disinterested, but Kath
leen's is selfish, nnd the matter of the
iinminl school play proves this, for
Virginia unexpectedly shows talent
for mimicry and is given a lending
pnrt, which doe3 not exactly please
Kathleen.
MISS MASI.AM), the head oi inim
ertown school, was not the spinster-
like, dried-up tjpe of sMiool mistrcRS
time is so often nninted in fiction. She
wns tall and stately, with a crown of
white hair, nnd she made a genuine ef
fort to run Palmertowu fairly, to make
the girls happy, to uc as orouu us s.u
could be and still keen the reins ot gov
ernment over 200 girls in her own
hands. Therefore, after the play that
evening, when Kathleen nnd Mrgiuia
made their entrance into the reception
hall, even though Miss Masiand was
startled, she did not do anything Im
pulsive.
She wns shocked nt Kathleen s ap
pearance. The girl wns beautiful, but
she looked like a vampire in a moving
picture. Her dress waH uqt only eu
tirelv unsuited to her. but it gave a
wrong impression of the school for the
townspeople to sec one of Us members
dressed that way. Nevertheless, she did
not call Kathleen over and make her
cminge, Kathleen was- givcu a chance
to hnU her small triumph.-and her en
trance. Wth Virginia, who Was tall and
slim and very virginal looking in her
simple crepe gown, was quite sensa
tional. Men flocked about her. and irglnia
felt for the first time -the wonderful
di awing power that this girl possessed.
Aud Kut ileeu scintillated, dimpled and
sighed with all of them and allowed
i'i"ii i..ir ii lmr reflected glory.
The man Kathleen had called Jimmy
came up with the blond man whom
Kathleen had not met., Virginia found
herself looking up Into very blue eyes
as she acknowledged the introduction,
but only for n moment, for he turned
immediately to Kathleen and had no
eyes for any one else the rest of the
evening. The man Kathleen had called
.limmy was a benior nt Grant College,
ii. 1,0.1 taniriiini- in-own eves and gave
it.n imnroKslnn of being small . because
ho was so wirily built. Beside the blond

"Did you really mukc it nil your
self?" ouo of them asked one time, ad
miringly. "Indeed I did," she an
swered, emphatically, "every single
stitch! A nil jou may think it was
easy, too. Those little tucks they look
pretty now, but I tell you there were
times when they didn't look pretty to
me. Yes. ma'am, I'm responsible for
every little inch of that, and I don't
know howj soon I'll make another one.
either. Not until I have more pntiencq
than I have now, anyhow." And no
body could blame that friend for think
ing to herself. "Well, if it gave you
so much trouble, perhaps I'd better
ghe it back."
A drink of water or a ten-cent hand
kerchief are beautiful gifts if the true
spirit of giving is back of them. I
know of n family who received the most
atrocious ten-cent-brooehes with glass
jewels in them from the precious scven-jcnr-nld
son ns Christmas gifts.
They wore the pins nnd have cherished
them ever since, because of the loving
thought that lif- put into the choosing
and bujlng and presenting.
But an automobile or n diamond
necklace seems like a slap in the face
if it is given with n whining explana
tion of how much it cost tho giver. Tf
it were really necessary always to work
up appreciation of a service or n gift,
what would ever become of that joy
that comes only with the real giviug
of oneself nlong with it?
confided to Virginia, glancing nt the tali
blond giunt hovering over Kathleen.
"Couldn't bee any one else in the piny,
but, to my mind, there vas some one
else I thought much better."
Virginia liked this gay method of fe
pioach, and sho laughed. And then
people began to press up to her nnd to
tell her how splendid she was in 'the
play, nnd Virginia, with spots of flnme
in her cheeks, laughed and talked with
an abandon she had never tlmnr-hf .
self ounable of until she had played the
rart of the naughty peddler in the piny.
All the while she was holding court she
was conscious that this .limmy boy was
tii'vpiug eius? to ner. mat i.e never re
leased his hold on her for a moment.
Once she looked around for Kathleen.
but she had dlsnnnenred. Virctnin r.u
guiltily conscious of the sigh of relief
that sho somehow could not renrcss. She
felt it unfair to Kathleen, disloyal", but
she somehow could not get over tho
feeling that Kathleen would not HI hor
to be popular.
"See here, now," Jimmy said to her
after a time. "Can't we get away from
this crowd? I haven't hud a chance to
say n word to you tonight."
Virginia thought immediately of the
sorority room, nnd suggested going up
to see it. He' laughed.
"Qh. I forgot, you've seen it of
course," she said quickly1.
"Oh. yes, I've been here before,"
he said easily. "But let's wander up
there, I have an idea we'll find some
others there too."
The school was built with a central
building nnd wings on each side. It
gave the building a fnu-shaped appear
ance from the .outside which was very
attractive. Inside the wings were con
nected1 with the rest of the building by
wide swinging, baize-covered doors. The
sorority rooms were In the west wing.
(Joing up the stulrs, Jimmy Anderson
reached suddenly for Virginia's hand.
She felt ills hard fingers close quickly
on hers and her heart jumped, as she
snatched it quickly away.
"Don't!" She said childishly.
She felt n sudden sense of estrange
ment from him. It spoiled things. He
h'ad been srf friendly, and now, this J
Then they reached the door of the
sorority room nnd pushed It open,
Jimmy holding ,bnck the long, black
curtain that hung before it.
Tho room was dimly lighted, but In
the gloom stood Kathleen and the bload
i'iapt whoso name Jimmy had told her
was Bill Lyons. The man had the girl
la bis arms, and Virginia noticed with
a shock of disappointment that Kathleen
was holding her face up to his. Vir

Dear Cynthia and fellow-readers: I

sorrow nnd linpplticss. She has 1111 op

Thinks Mother Unjust
Dear Cynthia I nm a young mniii
seventeen, nm working steadily, earn
ing a fairly good salary, which I turn
over to my mother every week, keeping
only a small amount for spending
money. Now, a society ..of which my
father is a member, is giving a banquet,
slmw nnd dunce for the members of the
society and their families. My mother
owl father are going together and I have
been Invited to go along. 1 expressed inv
desire to invite a girl to go, too, as 1
felt I would be out of place, not know
ing any of the j'oung folk there, und
not wnnting to stick "around und hear
the older people gossip. My father hud
no objection, but my mother said
that I was too young, notwithstanding
the fact that both she and my father
would be there. I believe my mother
is rather unjust in this matter. What
is your oplnlou?
As to this "doll" argunient that has
been filling j-our column for the lost

When I have young men call my
"kid" brother comes In and "grabs" all
the conversation. Indeed, he knows
some of my friends betlertthnn I do,
from his going to the, same school na
they do. But when he comes in nnd
monopolizes everything wo say it's pcr-
icctiy iiwiui.
Mv mother nnd father won't do nnr-
thing with hint. You can't blame them,
for be. has becu through sb many acci
dents thnt he is very dear to them, bo
he Is very spoiled.
.My friends all like him, and I would
not mind his coming in nnd saying a
"good evening" or somethlne. but when
ho refuses to leave the room till my
friends must go. I'm in despair.
, Please. Cynthia, print Oils letter, nnd
1 would like to have omo of our
mutual friends answer. They may
know of something that can bo done.
IN DESPAIR.
Do you know. C.vhthln thinks .vou are
rather n fortunate littto jgtrl to have n
brother every one likes. 'Sometimes a
girl has n smnll brotlic'r every, ope votes
n nuisance. Of course, it lis trying to
have, him always join Jn tho conversa
tion, and id fact, mnkci it ail his own
when thn bos come lo'itpp vou. Hove
jou ever, asked him not to? Vhy not
trout nun as If he were your owu ngo
nnd hnvc a little confidential talk with
him? Tell 1 in ccttine used to talk ne
with the boys when they come to the
house will help you when you nro older,
nnd thnt once in a while vou would
appreciate it if he would not come' in
to see them unless they nsk for him. or
if he does come In to just stay a little
while. Be sure to be nice and straight
forward about it. And if he is the nice
younger brother I think ho is you will
not have nny more trouble.
At tho same time. dear, be careful not
to get sentimental with these boys.
Perhaps vour older brother would
talk to the jounger for you, .
Wants Nico Friends
Dear Cynthia I nm a cirl of nine

takes 1110 homo he nsks 1110 for a kiss.
I refuse him. and I never see nnvtlitnir
of him any more.

whose friendship I could depend upon.

You nre lucky, indeed, thnt these

the kind of men you would want for
friends. Thev nro men who must nt.
