the most earoodeal food you can buy. No other food, no

Bovril's wondurful bs,dy-building powers. Bovril saves

e: turn her head and make her feel above
't her family? If she would go on are
do somstiline afterwards you might
do it, but she'll only get married and
- there's all that money thrown away.
This is your line of areament. But
what of the child? Is your child per-
- tectly contented with the very, very
. ,
little bit Ehe knows? For the work in
t
t Public school is really not even a
drop in the bucket. Is she perfectly
satisfied with the future you have
mapped out for her -to stay at home
and help mother until some boy asks
her to marry him and she goes •into a
home of her own? Or has she ideas
of a life a little fuller than one con-
cerned merely with material things,
money, clothes and food? Does she
love books, pictures, music? Has .she
a mania for taking care of sick folks
, and animals?
Has she been "nagging" you to send
her to high school so that she may be
able to do the thing she likes boot?
Is she ambitious for something, outside
the kitchen. Of course, we want her
to know all about home -making, but
does she crave something more?
And is her expressed desire for
higher education based on a real de-
sire for knowledge, or does she just
want to go because her chum is going
and they can have a gay time .in town,
free from parental eyes? If she is
sincere in her desire, what are you
going to do about it? Are you going
to arbitrarily refuse her the : to give her all the help you can to
oppor-
tunity, because you never cared for
such things yourself, or are you going
I improve her God-given talent? Are
1 you going to let her be herself, help
her to be herself, or are you going to
force her into a mold of your liking,
a life of material things the making
of money, cooking of food, things
entirely of the earth earthy?
Is she to grow into the sort of wo-
man God meant her to be or the sort
of woman you think she'ought re be?
Isn't she entitled to a choice of the
sort of life she'll live. After all, she
will have to live it. You may die in
five years, during which time you have
spoiled her life. Will you die more
cheerfully knowing that her life-long
thought will be, "If father and mother
had only let me follow my natural
bent how much better life would have
been."
The idea that because a girl is to
marry and become a home -maker, her
education is wasted, is really so ab-
surd it should have died long ago.
But like all bad things, it dies; hard.
Isn't it true in your cese that the more
you learn about everything the better
you are able to do your own line of
work? The broader your knowledge
the greater your success. And doesn't
it follow that an educated woman is
better fitted to bring up the right sort
of citizens than the uneducated one?
Would you rather your son would;
marry a girl who left school at the I
third book, or one with a high school
education? Wouldn't you feel that the;
last girl would, other things being'
equal, make him the better helpmeet?
Hasn't your prospective son-in-law a
etight to demand that you do as much I
for his wife as you want someone to
do for your son's wife?
Is a woman a poorer mother be.,
cause she can select the best in books:
and music /or her children? Will it:
be better for the ehildren to hear Bee -I
thoVen or ragtinie? Won't you feel,
prouder to have your gaandcbildren;
choose such works as Shakespeare
than to have them turn to "Deadwood
Dick"? Is money wasted which helps!
a girl to make better men and women!
ou ofher children? I
If you want a more practical rea-
son, there's the very good one that
every girl should be able to earn her,
own living before she is allowed to
get married. If she could, there would' i
be fewer widows left stratided. lust i

woman who teaches Latin in our 1

sauuld
• hermemze- that-ts, they should all
adhere strictly to the note of shit-
! plicity.
The arrangement of the plate, glass,
' napkin, and silverware for each per-
! son. is called the "cover." Each kind
of mull has its own particular pieces
of silverware necessary for it, but the
same general rules apply to all.
In all eases the plates and silver-
ware should be placed one-half inch
from the edge of the table. The dm-
, n•er knife and fork are always placed
nearest the plate. The knife, with
the blade turned toward the plate on
the right of the plate, the fork with
tines up, on the left of the plate.
The other pieces of silver are placed
• the order in which they will be
used, beginning with the outside. The
spoons are placed to the right of the
knife, while all forks are placed to the
left of the dinner fork. The butter
spreader may be placed either on the'
butter plate or at the top of the!
"cover," with the point toward the
- fork.
The glass has a correct place at the.
tip and slightly to the right of the
krtife. Thenapkins are el atthe
left of the fork, with the loose edges
parallel to the edge of the table and
fork; or it is rolled and placed in the
same position.
The. butter plate is placed at the
tip and slightly to the left of the fork.
The table linen may vary for the
different meals, as a lunch cloth or
doilies for breakfast and luncheon,
and a tablecloth for dinner. These
should bear out the same keynote of
simplicity as the table decoration.
• Fruits of Experience.
There are different ways of remov-
ing scorch. One is to melte a paste
of cornstarch and water; hang near
the fire after applying the paste to
the scorched part. Some people are
successful in removing scorch
if they dip the place in cold water
immediately, and lay it out of doors
on the clean grass to bleach. If the,
scorch is deep, use Javelle water as a;
bleach. -Z. I. D.
To Avoid Odors of Cooking Vege-
tables. -When cooking cabbage, on-,

from permeating the house, place al

table is cooking.

yet many women neglect it. -F. R.
Economy in the Use of Lemons. -
Submerge the lemons in hot water,
and let them stand for five or six
minutes covered. Then use in the,
customary way and you will find that
you will get almost twice the amount
of mice and flavor as when they are
used without the "hot bath." This
method is also useful when the lemons
save become hard and dry. If only
a few deeps of lemon juice are needed

Life took its ordinary course again,
beautiful with anticipations, rose col-
ored with hopes. Leaning on Mme
Chanters arm, he smiled at his pro-
gress, measuring the distance he cov-
ered each day. After walking around
the house he made n tour of the lawn,
then of the garden, Finally he opened
the gate into the highroad. Mme.
Chantel followed his recovery joyless-
ly. One day when he had taken a
longer walk than usual he asked her:
"Aren't you glad to see me getting
along so well?" •
She answered evasively:
"I am thinking of the separation
which draws near."
"How can at be helped? I must
return."
"What service can you render? You
have told me what life in the trenches
is like -hew much courage and
strength are needed by the man who
fights and. the man who cominands. I
know that you have courage enough.
But have you the strength?"
The sweetness of inaction, the at-
tention with which he had bean sur-
mlded every- minute, had softened
hill.' a little. He agreed that he still
tired very quickly. She explained to
him that that was not at all surpris-
ing. She would not hold him hack for
anything in the world, she said, But
prudence and even duty required him
to remain. He listened to her thought-
fully. She avoided intermingling her
love and her egotistic desire to retain
him with her algements based on

"Why go? Why die? I gave you

life is precious to me. You have shed

He answerea with firmnesa:
"Who knows that he has clone his
duty eo long as he has not done more
than his duty?"
Then she 'geared out her love, Inc
self-pity, her rebelliousness anti her
tears.
"Haven't you also a duty toward
me? Is our love so poor a thing?
Besides, a soldier's duty is not always
in the first line., It is everywhere,:

"What doctors?"

He listened an silence. The slow ,•
work of the winter months had borne
lts fruits, weakening his will, diluting
his colerage. He yielded.
Now, attached to a service in the,

life of a garrison, From Mine to time,

t him out of danger. She sought to
fathom his thoughts. But he smiled
so tranquilly and sank back into the
,! depths of his easy chair with such
abandon that she felt em:barrassed on
his account and changed the subject.
Almost unconsciously she became
less tender. He felt the change, was
alarmed by it and ended by saying to
her:
j
"You are no longer the same, I
.1 speak to you; you don't understand
me. You seem abstracted, far away
indifferent."
! She defended herself. How could
he have such ate idea. She was sad,
perhaps. But what woman wouldn't
be sad; saddened thinking of the many
men who were fighting and dying?
Her response had never been so
• direct. He had never s I cruelly under-
' stood how fa:se his owfl. situation was
-how humitiating, even. He replied,
with bitterness:
"No doubt they deserve more tend-
erness than thcse who remain behind."
Without measuring= its brusqueness
or brutality, she blurted out the word:
"Inevitably."
Her tone seemed to hull to convey
a certain hostility. Her look was
harsh and contemptuous. He thought
her savage, unjust and hateful.
I "I)o you mean to reproach me for
being here?" he murmured.
She was silent. Ws gorge rose.
"Have you forgotten that if I an
here it is because of your entreaties
-almost because of your commands?
Wasn't it you who counselled me and
influenced me? Have you forgotten
what you repeated to me over and
over again with tears: 'Don't go; don't
abandon me; keep yourself for me'?
Was that a piece of acting on your
part? Didn't you think what you were
, asking me? Then -for your looks,
your attitude, your gestures, your
1 silence, all you are and do annoy and
humiliate me -then what have you to
!reproach Inc for now?"
She raised her head and ansevered
petilees,y:
"For having obeyed me."
(The End.)
Train the Coming Generation.
Beyond doubt it is true that fathers
in the past have not paid enough at-
tention to sons. There has been too
much haphazard growing on the part
of boys, too much trusting to luck, too
much of the spirit of "Oh, well I was
IND nesse and I t have
tiny coddling and I grew up all right;
1 guess the boys of to -day will grow
up to be all right, too."
If you strip the whole activity of the
rac'e down to its essentials, what is
the race trying to do, anyhow? Is it
not to improve itself from generation
to generation? And yet is it not true
that too many of the adult generation
care 'very little, in so far as their
ectivities indicate, what sort of folks
the generation following them shall
be? Parents of to -day seem more
widely open to indictment in this par.
toiler than those of many preceding
generations, The boys are given not
nearly so much home training as in
former days, and as for the girls -
there le abundant evidence of how
badly they have been trained for the
Ferlotts business of advancing the race
by another generation.
It Is true that there is room for a
tremendous Inert-et:41 of effort and good
result:, in public mid general service
of the boy. Nothing should prevent
the making of that increase. At the
same time it Is pathetically true that
too many boys are In need of the help
of publicemirited men when the boys'
own fathers and mothers are slight-
ing the bids' training. There is a lot
of 'bore work" needed in the boy's
home.
