Mainly for Women UNJUST MOTHER WHO AL- LOWS GIRL TO SUPPORT BROTHER Dear Miss Din -LI have a brother who is a big husky young Mari in perfect health,who has not done a lick of work. in, five years. My Mot- her supports him in idleness on the money that my father and I earn. It takes every cent that we make to run the house. When I come home from work my mother demands that I help her withthe house work but. she nev- er asks mr brother to do anything. Why is it that so ,much is expected from a girl? WORKING GIRL Aliswer. How a mother can sacri- fice a daughter to a son' and force a girl to work to support an able- bodied boy, is one of the mysteries Of the human heart that nobody can solve. Mothers are just made that way. You would think that a mother, be- ing herself a woman and knotting that a girl is of frailer physique than a boy and less able to: stand behind a coun- ter or banging a typewriter or runn- ing a machine, would be filled with such. sympathy for her daughter that she would not only protect her in ;every way herself but would teach her brothers that it is in every way their duty to guard their sister and .care for her and help her: You would -think that the mother would pity, the little young girl who had to go out ,in the world and earn her own living, and that when she came home 'she would coddle her and pet her and ' if there were any tasks to do she would make her sons do them and not- her daughter. Such is not the case, however. When either the sons or the daught- ers have to be sacrificed, mother of- fers up the daughters without a .min- utes compunction.. -In a great ma- jority of households where the dau- ghters and sons both work, the mo- ther makes the girls turn over their pay evelopes intact ;to her and she She does not: dream of taking such a high-handed g i ded way With the boys, She takes w3hat they choose to give her as board money and boasts a- bout what good. and generous sons they are. She would not think of conscripting .. their entire wages .as She does the girl's, She considers it: nothing more than the girl's duty to give all that they make for the general family support. but she thinks - it all right for the. boys to spend the money an their own pleasure. Mother expects the girl to help with the housework, no matter 'ho* weary they are when they come home of an evening, but she doesn't ex- pect the boys to do any household chores. They are tired, poor dears, and they Must sit down and rest and smoke their cigarettes while Sadie and'Maimie do the dishes and finish up the cleaning and perhaps wash out brother's silk shirts. If son is too lazy to work mother thinks it is perfectly all right for the girls to support him, and if they ob- ject 'she throws tip her hands in hor- ror and wants to know haw they can be so cruel and hard hearted as to• begrudge their own dear brother the food he eats and the bed be sleeps in! Ofcourse, it is all wrong from ev- ery point of view but there is nothing you can do about it because no moth- er is amendable to reason where her son is concerned. She can't see his faults, She con- siders that his lazines is perfectly jus- tifiable and the reason that he is al- ways out of a job is because employ- ers are so unsympathetic and heart- less and because he has never just found the particular thing be liked to do. You can't convince her in a thou- sand years that it isn't honest or fair to slip him Money to play pool that his poor little sister has earned with breaking heart and weary feet. When a girl has a lazy brother that her mother forces her to support, her only recourse is to leave home and take her t e pay envelopes with her. Yet she can't do that or mother will starve ifhshe has to depend on her prodigal son.

This paper may be had in a variety of colors and comes in large pieces and in narrow strips as well and is so very pliable that it is easy to work with it. By pulling the edges a dainty fluted effect •may be produced for an edging. It may also be plaited with nice effect, For the children, especially, crepe paper may be used in many ways. Shades for the lights in the nursery niay be made of it• And it may serve for a substitute for table cloths and napkins. Even the window curtains mayy be of paper. The large pieces edged with narrow fluting and tied back with strips are really very dain- ty. Because the paper may be re- newed often it is very sanitary and the `color scheme may be changed at. will. In the kitchen too, crepe paper is. a great convenience. The towels of it may be used in cleaning the pans, the sink and stove mote satisfactorily than a cloths and for decoration it is lovely to edge the pantry shelves and on the breakfast table. These are but a few of the ways .in which crepe paped may be used. Per- haps you can think of many others. DO YOU KNOW THAT: (1) Hands, which are constantly` in water about the kitchen can be kept soft if a container for liquid soap is ,filled with glycerine, a few drops of carbolic acid and rose water and is fastened above the sink? (2) After preparing fish or onions if ground mustard is rubbed on the hands and frying pan, the odor will. disappear? (3) During the cold months deli- cate skins can be prevented, from chapping if oatmeal or almond meal is used instead of soap when bathing? (4) Camphor ice applied lightly to the lips and hands before going out of doors will prevent chapping and will .keep the hands white? (5) The taut feeling that the skin often has after bathing may be re lieeed tby adding a softener to the water? (6) A few slices of dried orange peel kept in the tea pot, when not in' use, will lend a delightful flavor to the tea? (r.) if :soup is salted ton Much while cooking, if . h damp cloth is placed over the top of the kettle the salt will evaporate and cling to it? (8) After a large tin or jar of olives has been opened, a layer of olive oil to cover the brine will pre- serve the . olives indefinitely without the objectionable 'white smut which usually forms? (9) Time may be saved in prepar- ing pumpkin for pies if—instead of steatnin >• it—a hole is cut in the top,. � 1, the seeds removed, the top replaced and it is set in the oven to bake and. when tender the inside may be scraped out easily, is not soggy, and is ready for immediate use? • (10) Brown sugar will keep moist and soft and can be handled the same as other sugars if it is kept in the ice -chest? (11) To guard house plants against insects they should be sprayed once a month or oftener with a solution made by dissolving half a cake of: soap shaved fine in a quart of:boi.ling` water and adding four gallons of cold water, and then rinsing with clear watei half an hour later? (12) Pillow cases will last longer if seamless tubing is used, for when a case shows wear, the seam can be ripped at the end, turned and the fold stitched? (13) Cards for the recipe file will last much longer, if after the recipe is typed or pasted on' the card, the card is gone over with •a clear shellac or waterproof varnish? RECIPES Chocolate Fudge Melt two sgbares ofunsweetened chocolate over hot water, add one- third cup of butter iti small bits, stir- ing, until the butter is melted; theft add gradually one cuts of milk .and zontinue stirring. Bring to the .and point, add two cups of granulated sugar, and let cook until mixture will form a soft ball when tested in ice tinter, or to 238 degrees Fahrenheit on the sugar thermometer, the dine required being about twenty minutes. Cool slightly,' add one teaspoon of vanilla and; beat until 'thick enough to. lift with a spoon. Spread on a but- tered platter and cut into squares. Marshmallows cut into quarters and chopped almonds or pecans may be added before removing the mixture from the pan. LIVEIttY AND 1 t STAtDl ;9 J. A. Currie has opened a feed stable 'hi the old livery, Josephine street and also has a few good horses Tot the, w ALIS off' I3YZANTlil , • uxlc Prefect Says J;5011~ 'onr-(Bd Battlements 11tist (io, New Turkey is contemplating aa act which history, many assert, will pot soon'.forglve her, The 'report • is current that the ;nightywalls of Byzantium, which have encircled the seven hills Of iStambui for 1,500 years, withstood twenty -size faiuotts slcges and surviv- ed forty-four,disastr-)us earthquakes, are to be demolished. With the borrowed wester'n'siogan of "safety first” on his lips, the pre- fect o4 Constantinople itas issued a statement that the thirteen -mile chain of cru'nbling majestic stone Is a menace to the gypsy hovels crouch- ing under its ramparts, that the municipality cannot assemble the. money needed tot• repairs and that the walls must therefore be razed. The statement says that an effort will be made to savesome, of the battlements deemed of a "certain his- toric interest, but the latest addition to the Byzantine ramparts dates from. 1150 A.I). and it is difficult to un- derstand how the prefect will find any of the stones recent enough not to. be "historic," These are the ramparts which Schlumberger describes As "more gi'andtose than the walls 'of Rome, more poetic and more savage than. those of Avignon, infinitely more ex- tensive c ten i s ve and more important than those of Careussone. These 'are the ramparts 'before whose might even Attila quailed, and these thewalls from which the. Iast of the emperors of; eastern Christendom, Constan- tine XII., onstantine..XII., plunged to death when the Ottoman Turks broke through the barrier in. May, 1453. The 'traveller to modern Constan- tinople still reaches the city via the walls, whether he comes by land or sea., From the Simplon Express, whiiehpierces the land walls near the Golden Gate by the Marmora, the traveller beholds the double line of battlements flanked by 400 crumbl- ing, ivy -colored. towers, :stretching' northward to the Golden Horn. The traveller by sea rounds Sera glio`Paint, where gray 'fragments of the single line of Byzantine sea walls still cling to the shore they once pro- tected from many a hostile fleet, and, on one phenomenal occasion from thecrashof icebergs which the swift Bosporus hurled down from the Black Sea. Beauty, grandeur, mystery, the history of mighty centuries, live in these thirteen miles of stone which a modern mayor will have no more of. Only one voice in the new Turkey has thus far been publicly raised against this impending outrage.. The Constantinople Daily Akscham alone among all the Turkish press attacks the mayor, writing boldly that the destruction of the Byzantine walls will constitute an irreparable loss, which nothing under the SIM can jus- tify, and hazarding the suggestion that it is the itrperiled' gypsy hovels and not the battlements which should come down. GOOD WORD FOR WASPS. Sets an Example to World 1n Hatter of Industry. There is a good side to wasps, ac- cording to a well-known naturalist. The hot weather of last July, he writes, exactly suited these tiresome' insects which devour our fruit, our sugar, and our jam, rob the bees of the honey which we ourselves pro-' posed to steal, and make outdoor pic- nics impossible. Now and again, too, the wasp— quite without provocation, as it often seems to us—reminds us very forc- ibly that it carries a weapon 01 de- fence, whiofr if does not hesitate to use when it feels that the oecasion requires it. But the wasp is not really an offen- sive creature—it stings only when we happen to get in its way. It sets an example to the world in the matter of ' industry. It is up and doing long before the dawn and it never goes to bed until long after sunset. Even the black sheep among wasps spend three -parts of their time and more in the public service; the rest spend they whole of it in that way. The wasp's main object in life is bringing up little wasps. It does not really care about anything else.' And never forget that it is the wasp—largely carnivorous in its hab- its—which rids um of countless' mil- lions of inserts• which are a far great- er menace than Itself to our health and happiness,-- the poisonous mos- quitoes and the detestable and die- ease-earrying files.
