But your children!
Bone of your bone. iieeh of your

And to leave them forever!
Such a woman and such a man

After all, fickle parents. chil-
dren have a few rights. More im-
portant than 'your own. if you
would believe it.
One is a right to two parents:
DOt legal guardians, but natural,

together for the divine purpose of
creating a little heaven on earth
for those children.
Another is the undivided.
patient interests of their mother
—undivided. that is, by too many
soul-mates or other outside inter-
cats.
The third is a home. which
should be as firm in those chil—
dren's little world as the Rock of
Gibraltar. A rock unsbaken by
vicissitudes, the ups and downs of
life, the wear and tear of the
years, the changes in the human
heart.
And that home can be a tene-
ment room, or a manor in the
midst of many broad across, but
always it must have two wise,
kind, patient, loving parents in
dual and happy control, and nary
the breath of an outsider, male or
female, to shatter the children’s
faith in it.
To stand by your own children
appears to me to be the most ele—

To divorce your own babies the
most detestable and outrageous of
all offences.
When You I Cook Cheese
“KPERIMENTS show that un-
cooked cheese is as a rule more
wholesome and more easily di-
: rod than cooked cheese. because
and cheese is apt to be over-
‘cod. When this happens it is
to contain bumed or decom-
wl tats. For this reason there is
.visdom in the custom of sprin-
'- r: dishes with grated raw cheese

grated and should be added after
the sauce is made, and stirred over
hot water until the cheese dissolves
and is thoroughly blended with the
sauce. About an ounce of cheese-—
3. quarter cup when grated—should‘
be allowed to a cup of the sauce.
In making any cheeeeoilavond
baked dish. such as cauliflower. cab-
bage, potato, macaroni, rice, spa.-
ghetti. otc.. it is better not to put the
grated cheese over the top of the
dish and then to heat it in the oven.
In this way the cheese is overcooked
and is apt to become indigestible.
Instead. make a rich cheese sauce
and pour this over the food in a
baking dish. After that sprinkle the
dish with a. thin layer of buttered
crumbs and let it brown slightly.

of him. -
"Kim? Oh. that's Cy Btockwell,”

“But what does he want to wear

“Why. old Cy'e just plain unfor-

swore he’d wear one whisker if the

on wearing it till he was."
“Don't they make fun of him?”
"Well, they guyed him some, but

"It's awful," bobbed Laura to

Are Your Ankle: Slender?
slender, well-formed ankles is
to arrange, if possible. to in-
herit ankles that are—slender and
well formed. For heavy, stodgy
ankles, like squirrel teeth, receding
chins, eagle noses, run in families.
However it is possible by persis-
tent exercise and attention to keep
stodgy ankles from becoming stod-
gier. and to prevent naturally slen-
der, shapely ankles from taking on
unnecessary girth. During the re-
gime of high shoes for the street,
ankles. as a general rule, were slen-
derer than now. Obviously the rea.
son was that the high shoes kept
them so. This was not always en-
tirely beneficial from the point of
view of more physical development.
The high shoe constricted muscles
as well as kept down fat. Ankles
were more slender, but they were
probably also more likely to become
strained and sprained. Some of the
slight additional size of the ankle of
today is due to the development of
n BOUT the surest way to have
perfectly normal muscles. And oftou
Kan ankle thus developed is more at-
tractive to behold than the very
slender ankle that has not been
properly developed. A
Shoe manufacturers tell us that
by actual measurement the ankles
of women of today are larger than
were those of a decade or more ago.
it is because of such observations as
this that a number of French wom-
en. who have been afraid that their
ankles would become too big. with
wearing low shoes all the time, have
laced them into high shoes .for
boudoir wear. This is indeed heroic
treatment. Why spoil one's chances
of perfect comfort and attractive ap-
pearance in one's moments of rest
and relaxation so that when one is
abroad one may appear to son.
“slight advantage? This sort of rein-
edy always reminds us of the device
ascribed to Empress Eugenie for
keeping her complexion always love-
ly. She slept with a raw beef-teak
plastered to her face!

N’l‘IL within fairly recent years
U flowers—outside e of nature—
were regarded as the rightful
property of miliiners. They alone
of all the artificera of clothing were
regarded as having any special right
to use roses. And yet there had
been a time—some two hundred
years ago—when even in England
men wore an artificial rose on each
foot. But that was most excep-
tional.
Now dressmakers are using roses
on women’s frocks. The interest
focuses in roses, to be sure, as a re-
sult of the particular attention that
has been paid to the Spanish shawl
of late. The sketch shows an un-
usual arrangement of roses on a
black satin frock. Large artificial
pink roses are placed on the frock
with leaves and ate wrought in
embroidery of green beads. The
scarf is of rose-colored tulle.
There really doesn't seem to be a
producing a. nose that has not been
mane use of this spring. There are
printed georgettes, chlifons and
crepe: with striking rose patterns,
and sometimes when one of these
materials is used for an evening or
formal afternoon frock the effect of
brilliance is heightened by having
the outline of the rose picked out in
bead embroidery.
Ribbon has been twisted and bent
.and turned about to make roses of
most charming characteristics. Often
these roses are made of metal-shot
rose or red ribbon—making formal
looking roses that suggest the cac-
tus dahlia.
Even with some of the beltless.
waistless frocks there is still a large
rose placed somewhere in the region
that once was called a waist. There
is then no girdle or belt. but a single
rose is posed at front or sldchthe
sole distracting note in the perfectly
unbroken line from neck to hem. - i

Lyrics of “Life
THIS IS DAD
I've had instructions, more or lea.
Regarding human righteousness:
I know the Ten Commandments, .
know
The path a mortal ought to go;
And yet I guess I never did
Till' heaven blessed me with a kid;
And then a truth of healthy size
Just hit me here between the eyes:
I saw the youngster growing fast
And something hit me hard at last.
'Twas when he first began to play
With other boys the usual way.
When I came home from work one
night.
Not really wrong. not really right.
Outside the gate his gang I met;
And I recall, remember yet.
The way he hurried to my side.
His head held high in boyish pride,
And took my hand, my little lad,
And said, "Say. fellahs, this is dad.“
It was a challenge that be buried
To all the boys in all the world
To show a father anywhere
That with his father could compare.
It spoke in look, it spoke in voice,
And something made my heart ne-
joice.
And something filled my heart with
fear
The boy might learn some other year
The father now whose hand he
sought
Was not the father that he thought.
Oh. I'd been doing well enough.
Some folks would say. for life is
rough,
But then and there at once I knew
That “well enough" would never do.
And then I found a. father’s code. ‘
And there I chose a father's read.
And from that day I've tried to be
The man that he imagined nae-—
To have him always proud and glad.
To say, “Say, fellahs, this is dad.”
