Re<3idii^ Flß^^Rigiv aivd cJI ilve EMVOKI ]|Pjpj Life's Problems Are Discussed —————^ By MRS. WILSON WOODROW The domestic problem! It is no longer a little sum in mental arith metic, but a proposition of higher mathematics. Euclid might have solved it, but it is beyond the powers of mere woman. It isn't only a question of food conservation which confronts the housewives of the country. Food— the raw product—soars. Sydney Smith's receipt for welsh rarebit, "First, catch your hare," has taken on a new and deeper meaning, "First buy your food." How simple it sounds! But it pre supposes a number of things, among others the possession of the price. Oranting, however, that you have the price, the next question that con fronts you is how to get it cooked. For some time the cook has been a vanishing lady, and now she is a mere speck on the horizon. In these (•hanging times a cook is as great a luxury as diamonds or limousines, and no one can be sure of her. At any moment she may be proclaimed I a "non-essential." There is something more subtle than appears at first glance in the admonition which is flashed nightly upon the movie screen, "When the bread is passed, say, 'No, thank you; T prefer a potato.' " It is In most cases the part of wisdom to choose the potato. To take the bread is a peculiarly reckless form of gambling, with one's diges tion for a stake. It matters not whether one is dining in the homes of the once idle, but now toiling rich, or at a smart restaurant, or sampling the fruits of a modest kitchenette, the same gummy, gray paste is offered for the staff of life, the same indescribable mess for corn bread. And one is sup posed to be showing one's patriotism by eating it thankfully. I am willing to eat clay if it will benefit my country. I would be to suffer any form of martyrdom if I could thereby help in winning tl\e war. But useless sacrifice does not appeal to me. It is a waste of energy. There is not the slightest necessity for the wretched bread and corn bread that are everywhere offered. They are merely the triumphs of bad ( ooking. I know whereof I speak when I say that excellent bread can be and is made of the various substitutes which we have for wheat and there is nothing more delicious than corn bread when it is properly made.

Stenotypy being easier, shorter, more accurate and more speedy, which is in keeping with other Twentieth Century Methods, you will do well to give it careful consideration. Schools teaching Stenotypy also teach shorthand. They KNOW both. They have watched the progress of both in the class-room and in the offices.

And by the same token there is nothing better than the simple po tato, not au gratined or croquetted but boiled or baked in its jacket to Just the perfect and exquisite degree of flakiness. How many people can make an omelet as an omelet? How many can make a cup of coffee that is the nectar of the gods and not just a nondescript black brew? There are those rarilled souls who affect not to know wherewithal they shall be fed. Well, "Aspera ad astra" is a very good motto, but unless your feet are pretty well planted on the earth you are going to bob around among the stars as aimlessly as a stray balloon. It may be a Puritanical narrowness on my part, but 1 have no belief in the mental qualities of any one who does not respect his food. I believe that one of the reasons why men are more agreeable com panions than women is that the ma jority of them know good food, and many of them can cook it. The great fst scholar I ever knew was also the best cook. Cooking is not an exact science; it is an art. And cooks are born, not made. The difference between the trained cook and the born cook is the difference between the trained, conscientious musician and the vir tuoso. Oddly enough, some of the most domestic women don't know good from bad, while some of the busiest professional and business women are corking cooks. I met a woman the other day, at tractive and interesting, and she told me that she was about to try a novel experiment. "I," she said, "am going to cook during the summer. I shall get a fabulous salary and have my own sitting room, bed room and bath, and assistants to do all the rough work. I simply have to make out the menus, market and cook." "And shall you have to take your meals with the family?" I asked. "I shouldn't think of such a thing," she replied. "Never mix up society and business." A little later a friend of mine was gladdening the moment by telling me that if the war continued in definitely there wouldn't be any more white paper, and that, therefore, the writers of books would starve. "Not I," I said with the former conversation in mind. "I shall live in plutocrats' palaces and eat the fat of the land. I can cook." France Has "Mothered" 2,000,000 Refugees Distributed Systematically I'aris. —France has "mothered" more than 2,000,000 refugees im posed upon her while she was engag ed in war, with the country unpre pared to receive a helpless mass and with but 40,000,000 population. These 2,000,00 refugees have been handled with system. They have been distributed over France with as much foresight, as to their ability to adjust themselves, as possible. Each department has now within its borders from 10,000 to 25,000 refu gees. When a city is ordered evacu ated by the military authorities, if possible trains are made up for the civil population. Groups are form ed and the whole organized into con voys and their destination determin ed by the character of the refugees and the industrial necessities of the section of country to which they are sent. The whole Is performed by the centralized French government. The transfer of refugees from the war zone to a safe place where they can settle is conducted much as is the transfer of the army from one sec tion to another. It is done with military precision so far as the exigencies of the situation will al low.

Ask HAHHISBURG, TELEGRAPH I Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax Is the co-educational high school responsible for the change in the re lations of the sexes? i ask the question in all humility; I don't know. Like the rest of the world, I am seeking light. We all khow women do not act in the least as they did a generation ago; that they have become the pursuers rath er than the pursued, and they are not the least reticent over their new role. On the contrary, they seem to enjoy it immensely. One horn of the controversy tosses the revolution on the co-educational high school, and the other tosses it on Bernard Shaw and that terribly revealing play of his, "Man and Super-Man." The most brilliant man of my ac quaintance is strong for the co-edu cational high school. He says that ! unconsciously it teaches a boy tact, j consideration for women, good man ners, and deprives him of the in nate savagery that claims him dur ing those years. He also says that the shame of appearing stupid before girls causes him to study and make him a better scholar than he would if left entire ly to the society of his own sex. But the mothers who have boys in the high schools say something like "We don't want our boys deprived of their wholesome savagery—it's the best thing in the world for them. We object' seriously to having them turned into party-going, dancing men while they are still in school. It in terferes with their lessons and it makes them 'sissies.' " All Right in Ijower Grades These mothers agree that co-edu cation Is the finest thing in the world in the lower grades, but in the high school it is a failure. As one of them said to me: "There is too much 'co' and too little educa tion as the result of putting young people in the same class room at the most susceptible period of their lives. The case of the boys' mothers against the system is something like this: "Girls are older than boys of the same age. And the high school girl of sixteen or seventeen is just bud ding into a very selfconscious young person. She has begun to take a keen Interest in clothes, she wants to go to parties, she wants admira tion and lastly—though perhaps she j is unconscious of this —she wants a I victim on whom to try the fifty-sev en varieties of cuteness that she has just acquired, "In normal circumstances, she would try out her fascinations on older men whom she would meet through ther brothers, or in her own home and they would be better pre pared to receive the arrows than the raw material on the other side of the class room. "But there they arc. poor infants of scout age, and still hibernating in the wholesome savagery that nature supplies for the proper development of the male adolescent. They love f<thletics. they love tramping, and to go off into the woods and play at he'ng a primitive man. "And nothing could be better for boys than all of this cave business: it means that nature has taken them in band and is applying her own methods to thicken their muscles, strengthen their bones and generally toughen them up for the impending battle of life. Amazons Tnke Them In Hand "But there, in the classroom, is the enemy with the fifty-seven va rieties of oiiteness and ready, in the interests of a killing:, to try out any number of them. "The young amazon looks over 'lie lot and selects her victim. Per haps she does not think very much of him —she may regret that he is not taller, that his cheeks are so nudsry. that his hands are not clean, he is always munching some thing out of a bap. But ho is a hoy —and have you ever watched a kit ten nlay with a mouse? "The campaign is opened, not in school, but at the boy's home," at that is the way it happened to my boy, the mother continued. Diana, we'll call her that, began calling up my son on the telepnone. At first she wanted to know what the les sons for the next day were—she had left her paper in school. "And it was amnsine to see how bored Bob was. 'What's the matter with her and why don't she ask someone else about her lessons." Then, after three or four inouiries of this sort, there was a change, the conversation ran: " 'That you, Bob; there's to be a little porch party at Florence Smith's to-night. there's going to he straw berry ice cream, and we're going to | turn on the nhonograph and dance, | would you mind coming for me?" "Now my poor cave-boy cared | nothing about dancing or Diana, hut he is a slave to ice cream, so he said he'd take her, "He went as Diana's partner and there he met other cave-boys, and they stumbled, over each other's feet and felt uncomfortable and nwkward and the only bright spot in the whole evening was the ice R"t after a while these | hobble-de-hoys began to enjoy play, j ing the carpet knight to the high I A FASHION'S | (By Annabel Wortliington) K_ °" I I A charmin which is particularly /I\ •¥ A ' I f ° r S " mmer matPria 's is sketched In / /yfl VAMII 1 J Xo - 88S7 - ,rhe construction of the dross / l/x\ 1 M '* romnrkab, J' *imple. though the con /W rV&filV * i J traßtln * trimmin & s mak e It very attrac -1 \ V iKlir iXvV sup nH<* dosing and one end slips throng V/V J7 I ' 3 \A I % K ' rfll °' Wh ' Vh bl,ttons on the loose panel >[/, I nt fhe ba ck.

It was another case of Pope's famous line: "Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.' "My telephone is always jingling for Bob; they dance nearly every j night, and if they don't dance it's the movies. He no longer cares about tramping and athletics; he has become an authoiity on the one-step, he imagines he is an au thority on girls, and he is an awful bore." 1 repeated, this conversation to 1 the clever man, and he said: "Non sense! That woman doesn't know what she has to be grateful for. j That poor little high school girl has taken her young lout and broken! him In, pruned down his savagery i and made him presentable. His mother has the natural jealousy of all mothers." Then I reflected: But the clever man's sons are not old enough to go to high school; how will he feel when they are? Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX FOR SHAME! DRAU MIS!* FAIRFAX: I am 21 and engaged to a man four years older, now in France. Almost every sentence in the letters I receive from him convinces me that he has still retained his affection toward me. However, I have decided to discon tinue answering his letters, since he persists in writing about his popu larity with the girls "Over There." Now. Miss Fairfax, don't you think that 1 am justified. LOI,A M. Of course I do not think you justi fied in an attitude of petty jealousy, "his hoy is far from home, lonely, up rooted, fighting for your safety and breathing in every sentence his devo tion to you * • • And still, because he tries to cheer himself a bit by "jollying" himself and you about his popularity with the girls of France you want to deprive him of the comfort of your letters. What kind of an American is any girl who is (so self-centered that she risks low ering her sweetheart's fighting effici ency by causing him to worry over her - * * * And now for the practical side of the matter—the side that makes you jealous a bit hum orous. How much chance do you think any of our soldier lads has for philandering? You know there Is quite a bit of drilling and fighting going on! And smiling at a pretty French lass, who beams with hope and good cheer when she sees the tall American swing by. is Just a tonic— not an affaire de coeur. TOO MUCH EFFORT DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Are all men enigmas? I have, on different occasions, met several who, at first sight, have taken a fancy to me. From them I have accepted sev eral Invitations, and always when leaving me, they all express the pleas ure my company gave them, stating also that I was just the sort of girl a man would be happy to make his wife. , I try always to be kind and cour teous, happy and serious as need be tactful and unassuming. In fact, I have practiced these so often until now I And them all habits from which I do not are to be freed. I have, however, a great deal of pride, and can never, without apology, forgive anv man's forgetfulness or rebukes Now, in spite ot the facts above mentioned, after four or five visits, the men cease calling. I cannot re member a time I have in any way injured them, nor can I reproach my treatment of them. What is the mat ter? DILEMMA. Perhaps you are one of those girls who took themselves and their good points so seriously that after a time they weigh heavily on the conscious ness of those who know them—begin to bore and tire their friends. Per haps you are too self-conscious and elaborately charming. Perhaps you have the fatal habit of thinking too much about yourself jyad so of talk ing too much about yourself. And perhaps your "pride" makes you touchy and difficult to get on with. Perhaps, too. you give the impression of "husband-hunting"—of taking your men friends and their attentions too seriously. At all events it is evident that men tire of you. Can't you stand off and analyze your failings instead of your good points? Can't you have a frank and friendly talk with some one who knows you?. Your letter does not reveal enough of yourself for me to undertake a serious diagnosis of your case—it Is general, not specific. I have an idea that you try too hard to pleas, and that so you undo the effects of your natural charm. CHARACTER AMI EDUCATION DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been going about with a young man whose education is not all I would like it to be. In his speech he often blunders and writes poorly. I care a great deal for him, but get so discouraged that I imagine I will not be happy with him unless he takes his English and letter-writing more seriously. I have called this to his attention, and he has only answered that he knows he is careless at times and that I expect too much. I have also asked him to read books and tried in different ways to show him how much that means t,o me. but have not been successful as yet. ROSALIND. Mental congeniality means far more than most young people in love stop to realize. Of course, an ignorant and uncouth man Is likely often to shame the woman who loves htm—but a little lack of culture is far more endurable than a little lack of character! Your sweetheart is in service, you say. Suppose you give him thp loyalty and the faith that will keep* up his Indi vidual hopes and so do your bit to aid the morale of our lighting men. It Is very likely that he will bring back from service a largeness of vision, a richness of experience and a great ness of soul that will make up for his inability to write a good letter or phrase a sentence well!
