LETTER FROM BEATRICE ORIMSHAW TO SALLY ATHERTON Your letter has saddened me, Sally dear, inexpressibly. It has made me leally wonder if, after all, the good Lord, when he made Eve out >f Adam’s rib, did not always intend us to be subservient to man. Do you suppose Sally, that our mothers really ware as restless and unhappy as Ihe women of today? Do you not think when women knew their only destination was ::i the household of some man, w'hen they were given oy thei:' fathers into the keeping of their husbands, when all their whole tnougnts and lives were circumscribed by the ideals and idea3 of some male individual, that looking forward to nothing more, they did not make themselves as comfortable as possible by trying to please their masters? Now, of couise, every girl can or thinks she can earn her own livincr. She is not dependent on any man, especially If si:*-, has been a wage earner before marriage Coneeqi.on tly she tries to please hersc.f, Fhe does not bed-;ve everything her husband tells her about his hard work and how much of his strength it takes to keep her and his home.

Magistrate Disagrees With Authoress and Upholds American Womanhood as Finest in World —Declares Letter Sounds Like Days of Nero. By JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT NEA Service Staff Writer. | M EW YORK, Sept. 23. —Here’s comfort: maybe the women are going to the dogs, but the men. are getting better and better. At least that’s what one of the leading authorities on the subject says. She’s Edna Walker Malcoskey, 19-year-old Southern society girl, whose book, “The Debutante,’’ has made society a little redder around the ears than usual. Even if Edna was only 19, just out of a convent, and just newly presented to society, she certainly knew what was going on in the flapper debutante’s mind and she came right out and said it.

So we wrote to her to ask her what hope she held out for us and for our children and grandchildren. And this is what Miss Malcoskey wrote back: “Men are frightened and worried at the decay of morals and in consequence are leading better lives themselves.’’ • * • We took the letter to Magistrate Charles A. Oberwager, who has presided over men’s and women's and children’s courts and knows a lot about such things. “Is this true?” we said. “Are men getting better?” And Judge Oberwager said: "It is true. Immediately after the war there was noticeable a great change In the social texture of men. It was due to the general war condition, the service on the battlefield, the hatred engendered against men and women of other nations, the sudden disappearance of every indication that the Brotherhood

SISTER, Mg SAUSAGE J ITH the coming of cold weather, pork may be introduced into ..., the diet. While this delicious meat is more difficult than beef to digest, a moderate use of it can do no harm to the ordinarily healthy person. If pork is well done and accompanied by the proper dishes there is no reason why chops and roasts and sausage should not appear on most dinner or luncheon tables once a week. The amount of fat in other foods served in a meal with pork should be decreased. Sausage is almost onethird fat .pork, so choose vegetables lacking in fat. Let the salad be a simple green or fruit salad with French dressing and the dessert a custard or rice or fruit tapiocS,. These recipes for sausage may be new to you. They provide a meat

points to see a thing the same way. I hate to oe one of those kind cf people who always are saying "I told you so,” but you will remember, dear, that whea you told mo you were going to marry Sam I said I did not think you loyed him well enough. At that time you were tired, ilrcd of working at your job and I couldn’t make you see that you were-Just <*- changing jobs and that you probably would grow just as tired of your new one. Reading the letters of ray friends I am sure that a wife’3 iob is the hardest one of all, the most wearying to the spirit as well as to the body. But for all tjiat, my dear, your letter has depressed me very much. I can see where Sam Is almost working on his nerve. As Mr. Hamilton said to you, “A half blind man has much to contend with.” And the terr’b’e part of human nature, Sally. \s that we can do a great and splandld act if we ere not too long in doing it. You were wonderful to Sam when he was absolutely down and out, but now you nave grown tired of your job again. Forgive me, dear, I didn’t mean to say that but, having said it, I shall let It stand. It seems to me the only two married people that T know who are happy are Leslie and Jack. If I did not have them as an iximple I think I should break my engagement to Dick and stay a spuieter all my life. Your friend BEE. (Copyright, 1923—NEa Service, Inc.)

of Man would yet be supreme. And then there came the reaction. The lines were drawn tighter. The numbei of crimes was lessened. Men were again living natural lives.” And we showed him the letter where Edna Malcoskey had written: "Women have been offering and giving ail that they had to give which was very much more than the men desired. Men have begun to think and, thinking, have become strangely embittered that they have permitted women to all but destroy the finest and best in love, courtship and marriage.” And Judge Oberwager said: “That sounds like the reading of an ancient history During the days of Nero Rome went wild. Morals, decency were lost sight of and slavery caused the decay. I do not blame the women. Why hold them responsible for all that is bad and not give them credit for all that is good? Ameri-

Period Frocks Are Being Revived By Paris Couturiers As ‘Robes de Style’

Regardless of Vogue, You Are Supposed to Wear These Picturesque Creations.

By MARIAN HALE NEA Servloe Writer ionable Paris couturiers you ■ hear much about the “robe de style.” As I make it out, this means dressing as picturesquely and gorgeously as possible, regardless of what is supposed to be in vogue. It is the anthieesis of the standardized tailor-made frock. If you have a feeling for the stately, flowing robes worn by the Florentine flappers of the middle ages. Just copy some old paintings or print exactly, and you have a “robe de style.’’ Remember, too, to conform to the period you select with Jewels, hairdressing, shoes and all accessories. Then you can have ali the fun of being in a costume play, except that you take part from the box rather than the stage. And some of the costumes you see this year would draw the attention of the average woman from the most spicy FYench review to the spectators, themselves. Lanvin and Lucile probably have the greatest success with robes de style. Lanvin particularly has recreated the medieval modes. Some of her velvet frocks have very full, long skirts, and very plain blouses which reveal deep hoods or ecclesiastical stoles in the bank. Her manequins wear the most incourse lacking in protein but rich in fat, so supply the deficiency in the dessert. Stuffed Apples Four large apples, one-half pound bulk sausage, whole cloves. Wash apples and remove cores. Stick a few cloves into the fleeh of the apples. Fill cavities of apples with sausage. Put in a baking dish with a very little water. Cover and put in a hot even for twenty minutes. Reduce heat and remove oover and bake an hour In a slow oven. Baste with the Juice in the pan. Sausage Rolls Four small sausages, one and onehalf cups flour, one tablespoon lard, one-half teaspoon salt, three teaspoons baking powder, milk to make a soft dough. Parboil sausages for ten minutes. Cool and remove skin. Mix and sift flour, salt and baking powder. Rub In lard with tips of Angers. Cut in milk with knife. Roll on a wellfloured board to about one-half inch thiokness. Cut in oblong-shaped pieces large enough to completely cover each sausage. Roll and pinch edges together. Prick top of each roll several times with a fork. Bake forty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Served with scalloped or creamed potatoes, spinach, shredded cabbage, caramel custard or prune whip. (Copyright, 1923, NFIA Service, Inc.)

can womanhood is the finest in the world and men are leading better lives because American women exercise a power and influence for good over men.” And we showed him the letter where Edna Malcoskey had written: “Free love is the death song of a decadent people. Free love is the penalty which a woman pays for her loss of idealism.” And Judge Oberwager said: “Anything that causes decay will cause death. For the wages of sin is death. But Miss Malcoskey is so young and the spirit of youth speaks, rather than wisdom. She describes conditions as she sees them, and not a they exist universally. American women are not free love disciples. And American men are not in sympathy with it. Women will not do what men con-

But sermons have failed them, science has dismayed them, woman has broken faith with them. So they have evolved a creed of their own which may briefly be summed up in the GoMen Rule and have turned for relief to business.” And Judge Oberwager said: "I fear an age wholly materialistic, such as indicated by this young woman. An age lacking ideals will serve civilization but little, hence the sober judgment of men will not permit the destruction of all things tnat have made this country glorious.”

—Martha Lee Says Youthful Vamp Throws Away Lovely Girlhood

A girl who is “almost 16” writes that she has been proposed to three times I She admits she’s a “vamp.” But life is beginning to pall on her, already. Vamping no longer interests her, since, through her reputation as a flirt, she is afraid she is losing the man she thinks she loves.

Because she is only a little girl, trying to emulate a sophisticated woman, she is pathetic. We “can not have our cake and eat it, too.” The girl is eating the cake of beautiful girlhood. She will cry for it in vain, a few years hence. Youthful VamD My Dear Miss Lee: I never have spoken of this affair to any one but you. I am almost lfl. I have black, curly hair and black eyes. 1 am known as the "hearlbreaklnx vamp." When I go with a boy. I always tell him I am 17. I make them love me. ~ I have been proposed to three times. And when I know a boy loves me. I drop him or ret me anew one and pass him and don't speak. This was fun to me until I met the idol oi my dreams. 1 liked him very much from the start. He was not aware of my way of doinff a fellow until last week. One of the boys at whom I had lauehed when he proposed to me told him I would throw him down as soon as I lound out he loved mo He beat me to it. He quit comins. We had gone together five months. I wish X could prove to him that I love him as much as he loved mo. I see him often and we talk for an hour or more. I can tell he is heartbroken. This is the first boy I ever hurt that I was sorry for. Please advise me. THE WEST SIDE VAMP. You do not realize, of course, that you are cheating yourself by trying to grow up so fast. I am glad you had a jolt, to make you change somewhat. The thing for you to do is to stop being a “vamp," to be Just friends with boys, and to tell them your real age. If you don’t you will find, in a few years, that you are considered much older than you really are, and that you have lost your friends by misusing their friendship. Don’t worry about this boy and love. Let'that come later. But show him that you have come to your senses by being a wholesome girl once more. Foolish Suzette My Dear Miss Lee: X am a young girl 15 years old. I have been going with a good-looking young man 1(5 years old. whom I love "dearer than life." At first he seemed to care for me, but here lately he has taken a fam-y to another girl. She t§ so auburn b'orai and very good looking. What can Ido to regain his friendship? I don t know what I did to make him do this, and I am very unhappy. Shall I show that I care for him. or how shall I do? UNHAPPY SUZETTE How shall you do? You shall cease to Imagine yourself in love, and stop thinking about this boy. Os course a boy of 16 is not going to devote himself to one girl, if to any. Be friendly toward him, but don’t gaze at him with wistful eyes, Suzette. Friend Acts Strangely Dear Miu I.—e I am 17 years old and in my last year in high school. There is a boy friend who live* a few square* from my house, who was vary nice to me. He asked me for a few dates and I went out with him. He has been coming over about two or three times every week, but has quit suddenly. This was not such a surprase to me. but he pased the house several time* and did not even speak.

why he does so? Would it be all right for me to ask some member of his family? LONESOME BETTY. Next time you meet some member of the boy’s family, you might remark that he seems to be angry at you, and you wonder why. That is fair enough, as you may unwittingly have done something to hurt him.

It should not affect your relationship, for you are not to blame for your parents’ deeds.

* Inf Dr. CCRobinson YOUR OXYGEN RATION IO many conditions of bodily health depend on your daily * oxygen “diet” that it is hard to estimate the loss when one withholds it from its proper part in his daily program. Housekeepers who claim they have no time for such nonsense, storekeepers who neglect to take time, rich folks who have automobile trouble and can’t walk, and poor folks who won’t walk because they can’t ride, are among the number who suffer great loss in bodily upkeep from lack of exercise and oxygen. In ordinary every day breathing, not more than 10 per cent of your lung capacity Is changed at each breath. Deep breathing brings into play the whole lung power and increases the circulation in the abdominal organs to a marked degree. Where there is nervous or emotional stress, the blood pressure is aided greatly. Sedentary people often talk about uric acid. It is easy to explain —lack of oxygen and incomplete combustion. The carbohydrates (starch and sugar) are fuel foods. When the oxidation of sugar, through muscular aciton, is complete, the product is water and carbon dioxide. Incomplete oxidation produces another body poison, lactic acid. The increased output of the adrenal glands, which occurs under the stimulus of exercise and complete body action, supplies the cells with the growth they demand by furnishing tha required oxidation. Breathe it in—• expel it—breathe In some more. (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)
