THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1900. 5 'I . A Social: mEzzM; THE rnOLONQED hot weather has made many chances In the pinna of summer flitters, who expected to return to their town houses the first of September. Schools nro not to open ns early as had been Intended, and thus opportun ity for delny Is extended. After nil, the heat has been so general over the country that those who have returned to Scranton from various resorts hare found the nights far cooler here than In most other places. There Is Dome thiner, however, In the quality of this weather that does not Imbue the housemlstress with her usual enthusi asm for nn energetic fall campaign, In which preserving of fruit and planning of a winter outfit figure extensively. The death of Father MncGoldrlck has touched more people In various ways than at first thought would seem possible In the case of one person whoso manner of life was so simple and unassuming. More than anything else, the dead clergyman sought to raise the Ideals of young people and to foster spiritual and Intellectual de velopments. Ills delicate tact, his fer tility of resource nnd sunny optimism had a marvelous effect on nil whom he met and seemed to Inspire worthy am bition where, perhaps, only mediocrity had been the nlm. Beyond all was his wonderful personal magnetism, which made tho multitude reached by his In fluence strive to achieve the purpose he advocated. It Is seldom that a per son can be truly said to bo Indispens able, but It now seems that the work begun by the man whose life has Jut closed can scarcely bo carried on with out his dliectlon and the Inspiration of his personality. Outside his own church plans had been discussed to secure him for various series of talks and lectures on subjects which sev eral reading clubs had been studying. Ills knowledge was so profound and his method of remlerlng assistance so delightful that his loss Is felt In most unexpected ways. Just what a tender hold ho had upon the people was pathetically shown yesterday at his funeral, when tear-wet eyes and fre quent sobs from every portion of tho cathedral told the etory.

It only makes those two fools fierce to get married. What shall we dof J S . The request Is n little out of the line of household economics as plnnned by tho editor of this column, yet rather than disappoint a subscriber we would state that two courses nro open for breaking up such a love affair. The first Is somewhat radical and consists of chloroforming the would-be bride groom. If this Is considered Imprac ticable, Invito him to visit your family for an Indefinite period. He very cor dial to him and the fond maiden will soon grow tired of her choice when no opposition Is encountered. In fact, thero Is nothing to be suggested so effective In breaking up a romantic attachment ns bringing the two young people so constantly In each other's society as to disturb tho romance of the situation. Try It, Mr. J. S., and If It falls, there Is always the chloroform alternative, you know. Among tho recipes asked for are those which appear below. It Is re quested that all correspondents de siring special recipes or wishing to publish favorites will send In their communications by Thursday. Corres pondence on household matters Is so licited.

In planning a well-balanced iic the fellow inr points must bo considered: 1. Ik use of any considerable amount 't fat m.-a: or statchy food shoidd be cs"t by the use of some material rich In protein. Thus, ,f roast pi.vk is to be eaten for dlnnr, veal, f.sh, or lean beef might well be eaten for breakfast or supper, or both. Bean soup furnishes a con siderable amount of protein, while Ixmllton con somme or tomato soup are practically useless as a source of nutriment. Sktm milk also fur nishes protein, but very little accompvajing tits and carbohj drates to increase the fuel value. 2. The use of lean nisats or fish tor all threo meals would require the use of such foods as rice, tapioca, or corn starch pudding, consider, aide quantities of sugar and butter, and more vegetables, In order to furnish sufficient fuel value. 3. Since flour, sugar, and butter or lard enter very largely into pastries and desserts, the largor the quantities of these dishes that aro consumed the larger does the fuel value tend to become, aa compared with the protein. Vvvi,)l)vt,vvv)0 ! HER POINT OF VIEW IT IS DECLARED that summer is becoming n most demoralizing sea son In this country' where prosper ity enables more townspeople each year to go awny for a portion. If not all of the heated term. At this time It Is asserted that they give not only their tired muscles and brains a va cation, but their religion and often their moral standards as well. Now this Is on assertion too sweeping In Its extent to be Justified. Many people go away for tho summer and return with no change for the worse In mor als, no weakened principles, no loss of self respect. They are as punctilious in attendance upon religious duties when away as at home. They live In the same routine or at least indulge in no laxity of propriety that would not be tolerated In the every day homo life. They go away for a rest or a change and return refreshed and up lifted physically, mentallj" and spirit ually. But these cannot bo said to Include the majorltj-, for more and more as the years pass, Is it apparent that summer resorts, are becoming notetl rather for their gaiety than for their morality. The rapidity of certain ex treme phases of city life Is penetrating even to the remoteness of quiet lake sides and country places. Like vice, these forms of dissipation, becomo less hateful the oftener seen and thus It Is that too many do not return from their summer vacations as untouched by worldllness and as pure In mind and heart as when they went away. Scranton Is a most conservative city. Our residents realize the fact more, perhaps. In the summer than at any other time. The contrast between the social pleasutes here and inanj- towns ot this size and larger Is marked to a gnU degree In the freedom from the license which prevails In society else where. This is notably apparent at tho resorts where young people, and those not so young, aie apt to give looser rein to their observation of the conventionalities than at home. Con sequently the convlvlalltj', the lack of teserve and the ubsence of what we are wont to consider ordinary propri ety cannot .but be recognized as differ ing widely from the custom In our home city. Many of our society leaders continue to be Independent enough to refrain from serving wine at dinners. Our young people are not especially famil iar with wine suppers find are willing to enter with thorough enjoyment into' nn evening's pleasure unenlivened by Intoxicants of any kind. Such ex amples aro worth more than many temperance lectures, and all the In vectives of Swallow, Woolley it Co. et al. Those who do serve wlno are so conservative In their methods that the scenes familiar to many residents of other cities aro utterly unknown here. Girls do things at summer resorts which would never occur to them to do nt home. Indeed, If It were suggested that they would bo capablo of such antics their accusers would tlnd them selves extremely unpopular. For Instance: Whav nice girl would pose for a photograph In her stocking feet with her skirts considerably nbov'e her knees? Yet on the beach she not only poses thus In very undignified and Indelicate attitudes, but with tho knowledge that the photograph with her name attached will appear In the newspapers, nnd often she Is a nice girl, too, or Is considered ns such. At home she wouldn't go prowling along on dark streets with some young man until 1 o'clock at night. At the shore, or the lake, she will sit In some secluded corner, back from the board walk or on the sands, alone with a man until even a later hour. At homo nothing would Induco her to go Into a cafe with a man nnd order drinks. At the shoro she Is quite like ly to do this, at first, from the dread of being Iaughd at by now-found friends whg are used to that sort of thing, later because she finds It ex hllarntlng and that It causes her to say funny things at which tho others laugh. Now, why she should shrink at being laughed at for being what they call prudish, when she courts their laughter at her silly remnrks made daring because tho cocktails have gone to her head, Is probably a question which even she couldn't adequately elucidate.. Unfortunately thero seems to exist a wide difference In favor of the latter situation. I heard of a girl the other da who has always been modest and self-respecting. Sho pos sessed great refinement of nature and a gentle delicacy of thought and feel ing most attractive to her friends. At home she had moved In asselect circle, where her girl friends had been reared with equal care. At a fashionable re sort this summer she becamo acquaint ed with several brilliant, dashing young women whoso home training had been In a fast set In New York. They made much of tho quieter little mnld, because of her beauty nnd ac complishments. Sho was nattered and pleased with their attentions, nnd be came one of their number at many midnight suppers taken during long rides, where a rond-house, celebrated for Its good cookery and up-to-dato drinks, was the destination. On one of these occasions she gave a toast which cannot be repeated here, but which afterward was Imparted by the men to their friends as quite the spiciest feature of the evening. I won der If that girl will come homo quite ns good In mind and heart a3 when she left. Si . ' "Perhaps I am old-fashioned In my views," said a lady the other day, a leader In the most exclusive set, beau tiful, still young, and one who can set tho pace for a largo following should she elect to do se. "If I am old-fnshloncd," she continued, "It is too late for me to revise my senti ments. Hut I must say, I can't ap piovo of tho present day careless ness of what we have always con nldeied tho proprieties. I object to peeing young women enter a ball room of one of the large hotels nt a fash ionable resort wearing n golf skirt and a more or less crumpled shirt waist, nnd clattering along In heavy golf shoes. Social forms may have In them much that is artificial and possibly insincere, but they are Infinitely pre ferable to the Indifference now per mlssable. Girls will use slang In spite of us; they will talk at the top of their voices and laugh too much, but It Is too bad for them to try to bo fast; to drink wine and smoke clgaretttcs, and In various ways attempt to imi tate some of tho people who form the noisy and careless smart set at sum mer resorts. If to feel this waj' Is to be old-fashioned, I am, nnd am glad of It, and am pleased that Scranton girls me rather old-fashioned, too." This lady does not serve wine at even her most elegant dinners, chos lng rather to be thought singular than to aitl In forming tho taste of some young person who later might flguro In one of the fashionable orgies at summer resorts.

The extreme sensitiveness of the mucous lining of every organ of a woman's body is well known to physicians. This explains why, in part at least, so few women are entirely free from catarrh.

Although Charles 1), llantord controls more scenery for classic dramas than any other uitcr in this country, he finds, himself obliged to be emi a new equipment for his new political play, "Private John Allen," which he exploits 'his fall. Mr. Ilanford does not contemplate any abandonment of his old Maine, the tragic mue, but In this campaign year of IIXXl he shares the belief of Marcus llanna and other contemporaries in public life, that there is going to be a S'rat ileal of money in politics.
