LETTER FROM MRS. MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT TO HER SON MR. JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT MY DEAR. JOHN; I do not wonder that you nounced to me the news of your adoption of a child through the clipping from daily paper without any comment. I cannot understand why lou would do such a terrible thing, particularly after my telegram to you which I sent immediately upon receiving Mrs. Hamilton’s letter telling me that you had some ridiculous ideas of doing this silly thing. John, have you no pride of ancestry? When I think that yop, a direct descendant of John Alden. should take into your home sdjne nameless brat whose mother had no more maternal love for her offspring than to leave it before your door. I turn sick. And that you further have insulted your illustrious predecessors by giving that child not only yoipr name but the name of the ancestor of whom we are most proud— John Alden! It seems incredible. Why John, do you realize that this child is probably illegitimate? No woman, no matter how poor, would give up a child In this way, refusing to disclose her identity, unless that child was born in disgrace. The only reason I can think of whereby Mrs. Hamilton would agree to this awful piece of insanity is that both she and her husband have come, as you might say, from the soil, and they have no feeling of the duties and responsibilities that Pelong to us who count among our progenitors the splendid Puritan forefathers who built up this country. I do not think I shall ever recover from this terrible disgrace. Os course sou know it is all silly nonsense that Leslie would not have recovered If she had not had a baby given her. Other women have lost children and still retained their sanity. Leslie’s mind must be weaker than even I thought it was. You must never expect to bring that child into my house. You must never expect it to be given, in my will, any of the heirlooms which have come down to us from the John Harriet Perkins, Agnes Gahagan, Gertrude Gahagan, Rodney Perkins, Virginia Lee Hosmer and Kathryn D. Hosmer. The lawn' was decorated with American flags and Japanese and French lanterns. A garden party followed the plays. Mrs. Hosmer was assisted by Mrs. Edgar A. Perkins, Mrs. Leola D. Underwood and Mrs. William Roland. There guests. V• • • Mrs. Hannah Means, 2133 N.

Miss Nora Rieman will be married Tuesday night at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Rieman, 102 S. Bradley Ave., to Herbert Louis Fye, son of Mr. and

Alden family. In fact, today I am making another will and giving all my old furniture ar.d other precious momentoes of filir glorious family life, to dear Priscilla Bradford. She has so deeply sympathized with me ir. this great trouble which you have put upon me that I cannot help but love her more than ever. Dear Priscilla says she feels that no one has the right to adopt a child of doubtful ancestry, and that she would not think of adopting one unless It were the child of someone in her own f;-mily, or perhaps in mine. Ever since I have read that terrible article—-(to think that such a thing should be written about one of my name, in a public newspaper)— I have taken to my bed. I consider it a disgrace that any one belonging to me should have her name in the Taper In connection with the berth of a child. You were not mentioned among my friends until you were christened. However, since you have married. John, you havo paid very little attention to my wishes and I expect we will now drift farther apart than ever. Your devoted mother, MARY AWDEN PRESCOTT. P. S. I have not received that money for the painter yet. NEXT:—Alice Hamilton to her mother—The seriousness of marriage.

Household, Suggestions

Household Plants If the roots of your household plants seem infested with worms, otlck the sulphur ends of matches in the ground around the roots. This will not injure the plants. Old Straw Hats To make a black straw hat look as bright and glossy as it did when you bought it, smear a little butter on an old piece of velvet and rub the hat with it. Leave the butter on for about fifteen minutes, then polish with a dry piece Os velvet. Ironing Hints Starched articles requirS a hotter iron to make them smooth than unstarched ones. Hence it is well to begin the ironing with the coarser things until the heat becomes even and the iron smooth. Stored Clothes If you will put light washable covers over your dresses that hang in the clothes closet, they will be saved much dirt and dust and will need cleaning less frequently. Stored Vegetables Always store your vegetables and fruits in the coolest and dryest parts of the basement. Bluing Water A little common table salt or a little soda added to the bluing water will distribute the bluing evenly and keep your white cloth er from looking itroftkcd. j /

Harding’s Last Words as Private Citizen Just Before Inauguration IOW President Harding as President strove to fulfill the ideals he cherished as a private l ___ citizen is forcibly shown in the following statement, made by him March 3, 1921, just before he was inaugurated—his* last words as a private citizen of the United States:

This republic cannot and will not fa:’ if each of us does his part. If we but work, are thrifty and seek that understanding which reveals mutuality of interest., no differences can long abide. Our great assurance at home lies in an intelligent, resolute people, In a land unravaged by war, at enmity with no people, envying none, coveting nothing, seeking no territory, striving for no glories which do not become a righteous nation. If there Is one thing In my heart more than another It Is that at the end of the coming Administration there remains the America we inherited from the fathers without the surrender of a single part. I only wish for our America a soul truly American. I know there is not e man or a woman who does not rejoice in American solidarity and who does not want it preserved. We crave fraternity. We wish amicable relations everywhere, we offer peace and choose to promote it, but we demand our freedom and our own America. I believe an America, eminent on the seas, respected in every avenue of trade, will be safer at home and greater in influence throughout the world. I like to_think of an America whose citizens are ever seeking the greater development and influence of the republic, and I like to think of a government which protects its citizens everywhere they go on a lawful mission—everywhere under the shining sun. There is anew world relationship and when the

BEND, Aug. 4.—Farmers of St. Joseph County are planning a large central milk distributing station to be run on the cooperative plan. The farmers’ move Is in protest over the action of South Bend dealers In raising the price charged for milk 'without paying farmers more for the product. CAPES AND SHAWLS Capes and shawls are very popular for evening wear. Besides the colorful embroidered Spanish shawls are those of lace or brocaded fabric, or of plain colors with .long fringes.

Mrs. Joseph R. Best of Milwaukee, Wls., came to attend the wedding of her sister, who Is now Mrs. Joseph H. Bell.

next Administration comes into power we’re going to play our part We’re going to ask for nations associated together in Justice, but it must be an association which surrenders nothing of American freedom. Our governmental good fortune docs not lie in any surrender at either end of the avenue (at either the Capitol or the White House at either end of Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington), but in the coordination and co-operation which becomes the two branches in a great and truly representative popular government. I have been thinking all the time of getting an organization best fitted to serve this country, I am a partisan. I believe in party government I have chosen a Republican cabinet, but no selection has been made because of party obligation without consideration for the best service of the country. I would rather have the respect and confidence of my home-town people, who have known me Intimately all my life, than to have been’elected President And I have a feeling that so long as I can continue to hold tbeip/ respect and confidence I will be c-edited at least with doing my best for all the American people. When I am through down at Washington I want to be a bale to come back home and again be a part of the home community ‘ (Copyright, 1923, by NEA Service).

I E sure that tne sugar you users j for canning, preserving and ,rU jelly making is pure cane sugar. Beet sugar will not make good jelly. Clear, sparkling jelly is the result of quick work in boiling the, fruit juice and great g:are in extracting the Juice. The first juice whteh comes through the jelly bag will n ake the clearest jelly. It is better not to try to make too much jelly at one time. The wider the kettle the better, because quick evaporation means a light-colored jelly. the sugar before adding it td the juice. This does not cool the juice or regard the boiling as much as if cold sugar were used. The sugar is heated in the over after measuring. Apple Jelly Astrakan apples can be used for jelly if practically ripe. The jelly will not be as light-colored. Oiler varieties are used for Jelly w r hen quite green. Wash auid quarter apples. Remove ary bad spots and defective corts. Put in preserving kpttle. with just enough water to prevent burning. Cook rapidly to a pulp. Put into jelly bag and let drain over night. Measure juice. Put juice in clean preserving kettle and boil rapidly. Skim as much as possible and add warmed sugar slowly. Do not let boiling stop whild adding sugar. Boil rapidly until a teaspoonful of tried on a'cold-plate forma jelly. Pour into sterilized glasses and cover with paraffin when cold. Astrakan apples will "jell” if threefourths cup of sugar is used for every cup of juice. Most other varieties, containing less pectin, require measure for measure of sugar and juice. Old-time jelly makers put a rose geranium leaf in thp bottom of part of the jelly glasses. The boiling sirup extracted enough of the real fragrance to delicately flavor the jelly. Mint was often used in the same fashion, except that the sprig was removed from the glass before the jelly hardened. Grape Jelly Grape jelly should be made before the grapes ripen. Strip grapes from stems-and wash. Put in preserving kettle with a very little water, just enough to prevent burning. Bring to the boiling point and boil rapidly until the skins burst

Self-Centered Person Is One Kind of Egotist

Every one is an egotist. In some persons, egotism is more pronounced than in others. The most common sort of egotist is the braggard. Then there is the self-centered person, who may not boast, but who canijot mind off his own affairs for more than a few minutes.

A third type of egotist, the most to be pitied, Is the self-conscious one, a bit different from the self-centered. He fai’s to realize that other people are not constantly thinking of him as he is thinking of himself, “sizing him up.’’ _He cannot carry on an interesting conversation because he is thinking of the impression he is making. The only way he can overcome selfconsciousness is to transfer his attention from himself to others. Difficult Task Dear Miss Lae. I wish you would advise me some way to overcome self-con-sriousness. 1 have tried hard to master myself. but so far have been unsuccessful. It seems to be a vory difficult task. I cannot <ymcentrate on one subject two seconds ■Without a half-dozen other things springing up. What is the cause of this, and is there no remedy ? SELF-CONSCIOUS GIRL. Your failing is a common one. Don’t you find other people interesting? Os course you do. Then remember your interst in them, instead of worrying about how you are getting on, when you are talking to them. Another thing—to crowd out the “half-dozen other things,” be really Interested In what you are doing or discussing. Read enough, especially current papers and magazines, to have a fairly good knowledge of a number of subjects. Then you will be able to converse intelligently, interestingly and interestedly. It will take will power, at first, to keep your thoughts from wandering. Friend Changes Dear Miss Lee: I lost my best friend last month. X went away on my vacaUon and when I came back I found my old friend changed very much. She riins around with "trashy" boys. She calls me

open. Put In jelly bag and let drairt over night. If . grapes are cooked early In the morning five or six hours will extract the juice, and jelly can be made the same day. Do not squeeze the jelly bag, as this makes the juice cloudy and the Je’ly will not be clear. Measure juice and return to the fire. Bring quickly to the boiling point and boil tea minutes. Add as many cups of sugar as there are cups of juice. 801 l rapidly until juice "jells” when tried oij a cold plate. Blackberry and Apple Jelly Use e jual parts of apple and blackberry Juice. Add the juice of one lemon to four cups of the combined juices. Boil ten minutes, add three cups warm sugar and boll until sirup jells when tried on cold plate. Many fruits that will not "leU” by themselves can be combined with apple juice. This makes a firm jelly, with the "other" fruit flavgr perdomlnatlng. (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

Martha Lee Sayi

an “old Molly” because I will not allow “petting parties." X love her. but am not allowed to go around with her on, account of her company. Mother says X may go with her if she improves hor ways. How can I win her friendship J I have stopped going with boys because there is not a "decent" one to go with. Don't you think that’s right? TROUBLED JANE. Oh, yes, there are quite any num-‘ ber of "decent’’ boys, Jane. But you are right to wait until you find some of them. It will be difficult to handle your girl friend, t as she probably would not werry about your opinion just now. Don’t express any opinion about her new friends, but let her see that it is possible to have a good times and still not mix with undesirables. HEARTBROKEN J. M.: The only way you can win this man back is to show him that your love for him has regenerated-vou. Do not call him or go to see’him. Instead, tell him that you will be waiting, if he ever regains the trust he has lost. Try to make him see that it is the future, not the past, that counts. At the same time, do not let yourself become discouraged. If life were worth living for no other reason, it would be worth while for you to try to keep other girls from making the mistake you made. Not Sheiks Miss Martha Lee: After talking it ever with a fellow friend. I find that we both have practically the same views upon girls and their colbplexions. We think that if a girl is gifted with a beautiful complexion, she would be foolish to try to improve It with paint, powder and other things. But if a young lady who is not the owner of a good complexion uses cosmetics to a moderate degree, she is perfectly right. But the idea some girls have of painting like an Indian and using powder enough to bake a cake is all wrong. Os course, we are no "Valentinos." so cannot expect to be much of a judge of beauty, but we hope this letter settles argument on such an important question. K. J. L. AND J. E. R. Finish School Dear Miss I<ee: My father Is unkind to my mother. I work and get about 517 every two weeks. I have graduated from, grade school, but everybody wants me to go to high school. Should I go or stay at work to help my mother? I am 15. M. A I think you can help your mother mere by continuing your school work, so you will be able to earn more money, and advance more rapidly, when you are through school. Father Troubles, Girl. Dear Misa l>o: My father is 31. He goes out with another woman and comes in at 2 to 3:30 in the morning. He has a car for which my mother helped pay. He goes out every night. Please advise a lonely daughter how to win his love. M. First, make yourself lovable, so that he will want to be with you. Do the little things that men like—have his paper and house slippers ready when he comes home in the evening, etc. Then be quite frank about your loneliness. Tell him that you like to have him at home and that it makes you unhappy for him to leave your mother alone. Tell him, too. that you don’t like for other people to talk about him. Friendship First Dear Miss Lee: X am a boy of 17 and I love a girl my age. But somehow her attention is drawn to some other boy. whom she says she does not love. Please advise me how I may win her love. She does not encourage me. BROKEN-HFARTED MIKE. It would bo better, and easier, I think, to her friendship now, and not bother about love for a few more years. POULTRY PRIZES LARGE More Than $6,000 to Be Awarded Fowls at State Fair.
