Liberty-Craving ‘Fifteen’ Would Find Matrimony More Binding Than Home BY MARTHA LEE iij AM fifteen, and I crave excitement, but my parents treat me as if I were about four or five,” writes one girl to this department. The reason these parents treat their daughter as if she were about four or five is thaW: they did not, she would flit thither and yonder without restraint, ruining her health, spoiling her

good looks, dwarfing fier body, and. deadening her brain. I am not old-fashioned. I am aware of the fact that anew order prevails; that young folk, generally speaking, have a great deal more freedom than did the young folk of grandma’s time. I am in sympathy with the new order, though I am not “broad-minded” to the noint of believing that a young girl :an muss around in dirt without getting all smudgy. I am not one of those who believe that our young people have gone to the dogs. I believe that there are just as many splendid young women and fine men in the new generation as there were in any preceding generation. But temptations are greater than they used to be. Parents must be careful. This young girl insists that she ought to be allowed to do this and that, merely because she is 15. Her age is not the important thing. The important thing is whether there are brains in her head—enough brains to recognnize a danger signal when she sees one. In short, whether she is smart enough to realize that life is a meandering course and that the road that we wind up on depends a good deal on the road that we traverse when we are 15 or thereabouts.

She Wants to Run Away Dear Martha Lee. X am a sophomore at Manual Training trich School lam fifteen years old. and admired bv many decent fejlows. and am nirpd hv all mv boy and girl inenas. i do not care for any of my friends hut one who is six years my senior. I am madly in, love with him. He comes to school every day after me. X get out at 'forelock but X do not get homeuntll4 : 3o or 5 00. I hate to deceive my parents in this wav but they will not allow me to attend any shows or parrties or step my feet outside of the house after dark. If I mention a boy’s name, my mother nearly bites my head off. I cannot see why she objects as she was married at an early aK I ’ feel as If the only \thlng for me to do is to quit school and run. p®-,?, „™ OU Vf gladly consent to marry this fellow, if he only would propose to me. Please tell me in your column what The very best thing that coulti happen to you would be for you to quit school and run off. Oh, what a lesson that would teach you! And how quickly you would come crawling back, sadder but wiser! Yes, maybe your mother did marry young, but I will wager that she did not deceive her mother by staying out after school, or by going to shows, and staying out after dark! Girls married younger in those days. Moreover, if the young man proposes and you accept, you will find the responsibilities and the restrictions of matrimony much harder than your parent’s discipline. If you don’t believe me, try it. I am sorry for you • because you have so much to learn.

Wants to Join the Y.W. C, A, I’m sorry to take so much of your precious time but please help me. I love to swim, skate, and play basket-ball and ■would love to Join the Y. W. C.

Would' it be appropriate to go to th'e information desk up there in the reception hall, or have you a suggestion to make? Please print this in The Times as soon as possible, and thank you. B. H.

I am glad you are going to take this step and envy you all of the good times you will have.

Attractive Ways for Preparing Meat Sundries

In nearly every publication that one picks up these days, be it newspaper, magazine or scientific journal, one finds an article telling of the place of diet in the treatment of anemia. Among the foods considered most valuable because of their iron content are listed liver* and kidneys. If they are to appear very often in the diet—and these ironyielding foods must make up a goodly portion of each meal in cases of anAnia—it is a problem to know how to prepare them in different ways. The recipes given below will be found delicious and unusual. Baken Liver With Stuffing One calf’s or lamb’s liver, salt and pepper, salt pork, one tablespoon butter or butter srubstltute, bread dressing. Wash the liver well in cold, salted water. Make an incision in the thickest part with a long, narrow, sharp knife. Do not enlarge very much the opening where the blade enters but move the point of the knife back and forth to make the cavity bigger. Fill with any savory bread dressing. Season the liver with salt and pepper, and dredge with flour. Place in a roasting pan, lay strips of fat salt pork over it, and add a little water. Roast for one hour, basting frequently. When done, thicken the gravy in the pan and serve with the meat. Grilled Kidneys and Oysters Cover the kidneys with boiling water and let them remain in it for two minutes. Drain, dry, remove the skin, split lengthwise so that the kidney may be opened out flat. Pass a steel skewer through them to keep them open; brush with melted butter. Season with salt and pepper, and broil them, cooking the cut side first. About five minutes is sufficient for cooking a small kidney, and eight minutes for a large one. Meanwhile blanch oysters in their own be careful not to overcook. Place"* a kidney on a slice of toast and then place two or three oysters on each half. Savory Liver.

Slice one and one-half pounds of liver. Rinse the liver in cold water, then cover with boiling water for five minutes. Spread each slice of liver with a bread dressing and cover with a slice of bacon. Place in the bottom of a large baking-pan, add boiling water to about one-half the depth of the liver. Cover with waxed paper and bake slowly for thirty minutes. Arrange the liver on a hot platter and make a gravy by thickening the juices in the pah. Dressing. Mix 4 tablespoons of fresh bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons finely chopped suet, one tablespoon finely chopped parsley, one teaspoon powdered thyme, one-fourth teaspoon. grated lemon rind, one egg and a little milk to moisten. Season With salt and pepper. Liver Loaf One and one-half pounds beef liver, one medium-sized onion, one teaspoon salt, one cup hot water, one cup cracker crumbs, one eg g. Ssoak liver in cold water, then cook gently in boiling salted water until tender. Cool, put liver and onion through the meat grinder. Brown the cracker crumbs in a little hot fat and mix all together well. Form in a loaf, place in a pan and bake until nicely browned. The loaf may be covered with strips of bacon if desired.

Kibitzing Charge Flies at National Bridge Tourney B AGO? Dec. 2.—Kibitzing was charged today at the second round of thirty-six hands in the national auction bridge tournament started, famous player, 'North, should have The post-mortems on how that played his no trumper and what East could have done by trying an informative double were conducted off the main playing floor, however, so no formal protests were expected. The tournament, which drew for the first play some 300 persons who know when to lead trumps, was pronounced a success although the number of entries was much lower than was expected. It is the first tournament of its kind in American history. Proposes World Contest The experts among the experts, to whom even a duplicate tournament is more or less routine paly, cast their eyes on a possible international team match against England, proposed by Edward P. Martin, vice president elect of the American Auction Bridge League. The match would be an annual affair, sim-lar in a way to the Walker cup golf match. The only championship definitely settled in Thursday night’s tournament is more or less routine play, title, won by Mrs. Sidney Lovell and Mrs. Elliot Evans, Chicago. They scored 215 Vi match points out of a possible 342. The men with whom they played non-tournament bridge could not be reached for comments on their playing. Mrs. A. O. Lynch and Mrs. Ely Culbertson, New York, were second, with 18814 points, and Mrs. M. K. Alexander and Mrs. Rose Fleischer were third with 178%. The winners received silver cups instead of the customary candlesticks. Drapes Over Mirrors Play was conducted in the Hotel Sherman ballrooom, which is paneled with large mirrors. These were carefully draped with sheets—net that anybody would look at anybody else’s hand, but just for the sake of appearances. Wilbur Whitehead, Milton Work and the ever fiery Foster did not play. All the usual reasons why were whispered in the cloakroom, but Foster was the only one who gave a public excuse. He said he couldn’t get a partner. Bitter students of the experts’ books, who long have dreamed of getting Work and Foster into a game together, with sach playing by his own conventions, thus were hopelessly disappointed.

Woman’s Pay

BY ALLENE SUMNER This pink for a boy and blue for a girl, or vice versa, business continues to puzzle the material world. For years we have been bewildered as to whether to present new nephew Johnnie with pink or blue bootees, and whetner to put pink or blue ribbon on the bonnet for brand new baby niece Betty. But no public agitation was given the subject until it was noised about that Crown Princess Astrid of Belgium, expecting a son and heir, had optimistically prepared a pink bassinet only to have to change it to blue when the little baby princess arrived. “What ho!” cried the critics. “She’s all wrong. It’s pink for a girl and blue for a boy.” Layette departments of stores cast just about a 50-50 vote for both. Why not settle the difficulty by having it bine *for both? It’s as mean to doom a little pink-faced babe to wear pi*k as to thrust that fat? upon a red-headed girl. u n * \ “When Company Comes” “One of our leading home magazines printed a schedule not long ago for the women who does her own work and is serving Sunday dinner for six. The schedule began at 9 a. m., though it was assumed that breakfast was well out of the way and the actual dinner preparations were beginning. That means a 7 o’clock rising, at least, find then she’d have to go some if there were children to be bathed and dressed. From 9 a. m. till 2 p. m., when the six are supposed to sit down to the groaning board, believe it or not, every single minute of those five hours were consumed in preparing the average "company dinner” of appetizers, soup, roast, potatoes, vegetables, salad, warm buttered rolls, coffee and dessert. And this was the systematic schedule of a scientist in this business of food preparation! n u tt Her Own Fault One of the most unjust things with which home-making women have to contend, it seems to me, is the seven-day week. Their husbands and wage-earning sons and daughters 'may slough off responsibility of any sort on Sundays, but “Ma’s” work goes on at the same old stand, with the general day of rest only one of complete fatigue for her. / But then—it’s probably a case of getting just what she bargains for.

For cookies really “happened.” They were discovered by accident in France in the sixteenth century when the king demanded from a master baker “something different.” The baker started a batch of dough, hoping for an iqsipration, but when none came he went to the inn to drown his despair in wine. His little son, left alone in the l’oom, began to play with the dough, making it into littje round flat cakes and putting them in the oven. The result of the child’s play was the cookies, which the baker decided was really “fit for the king” and the king thought so, too. Ever since, cookies have been particularly associated with children though the grown-up children like them just as much and welcome them on any and all occasions.
