smo or 11 in a lunch wagon, depending on how successful the precocktail partv had proved. There were things like spring housecleaning that came around as surely as the arrival of spring itself. There were certainties that the expected dividends would be forthcoming tiie investments were preferred stock, weren't they? Well, they could never fail. There was the knowledge, which few post-war children enjoy, that there would be jobs waiting for them at the appropriate age if only they behaved themselves reasonably well and studied their arithmetic. There were evenings of lamplit peace, with the youngsters doing their home work and the family engaged in reading or playing the piano. No outside influences, or radio or telephone. disturb'd the quiet of the scene. And this bred confidence —confidence that tomorrow and next year were predictable. Such a belief makes a man or woman feel arnv>d and certain of his or her own ability to meet whatever situations will arise. For it is known what they are likely to be. Such self-possession as that has passed out of the modern world. Our children—even ourselves —were born too late to enjoy a feeling of the repetition of events. Having lost all touch with homely things—with their common, daily occurrence —we get sad cases of the jitters for the simple and adequate reason that we have no idea what is going to happen next. Parents Changed “Self-expression for youth is supposed to have brought about the great change in family life which came with the new generation,” says Mr. Canby. "It was a cause, but an! equally potential one was self-ex-1 pression for parents, who deter- J mined to stay young, live their own lives, while the boys and girls were sent of! to camps and schools. “Fathers and mothers in the earlier time put parenthood first.! To fail in that, letting the children I go wild or be sent of! to convenient institutions or to spend the family income on display while the home and childrens education suffered, set all the gossips talking. When children came young men and women gave up the right to be young and assumed the responsibility for a home, with no reserva-J tions —mental or physical." We Call Room Service Now Today that simply does not happen. Today the individual happiness of the husband or wife—ins golf club records, her facial massage; —are put on at least an equal footing with the youngster's right to the best education that money can provide. Staying young is a luxury today s parents are extremely reluctant to give up. And so we live in apartment houses or hotels. We call room service for our meals at any hour we choose, and our servitors are selected ! bv the management and are civil in! accordance with our tips. Our amusements are undertaken at the spur of the moment, and our: engagement books, with their lists j ol friends, show a terrific turnover.' When we gave up the American i home we gave up a great deal more. For we lost security and rhythm and | that sense of the slow progress of; events from day to day that makes a man or woman sure enough of' himself or herself to push through to the achievement of greatest pos-; sibilitlfs. We last the age of con-' fidence. Mrs William Nethercut. Milwaukee. has returned to her home after visiting Mr. and Mrs. Richard Habbe. H

A Woman’s Viewpoint

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE real tragedy of modern life lies in middle-class society, whence comes, so authorities agree, the best of our citizenship. Here men and women forever strive for things that are of no consequence. Should you ask them what they work for, they will answer, "For our children. ’’ and they are convinced they speax

the truth. Yet most of us actually toil harder to impress the neighbors than to make life happy and home harmonious for our families. Material wealth has become of paramount importance to men, and social p rominence

equally desirable to women. I honestly believe we could improve conditions and help ourselves and our children immeasurably if we were content to remain sincerely middle-class. Instead, our minds are dazed by tales of life among the millionaires. many of whom originated decidedly below the central stratum. Aristocracy, its foibles and fashions, beguile us, so that we follow the antics of the great and near-great at Newport. Palm Beach and along the Riviera until we lose our sense of proportion. Hundreds of otherwise good women are wearing themslves to skin and bone and goine into sanitoriums in droves, trying to be

ritzy. They insist on running a four-maid establishment on a onemaid income, and demand a butler. even though they can’t pay the butcher. More than that, they will connive and toil indefatigably to marry off their daughters to rich young men with questionable morals, instead of teaching them to be helpful wives to ordinary decent boys. In short, if we used half the energy keeping our children at home that we do keeping them in society, both society and the home would be elevated. Mr. and Mrs. William W. Behrman Jr. and children, Billy and Anne, Terre Haute, spent the weekend with Mrs. Behrman's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Flowers, 734 Graham avenue.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Many Like Food Served in Open Air [ndoor Workers Especially Appreciative of Picnic Meals. BY MARY E. DAGUE SEA Service Staff Writer Anyone who spends the day in I an office, or the best part of it in j the kitchen will find pleasure in , meals served in the fresh air. Not only will appetites be whetted but tense nerves will relax and digestion will be aided. The first consideration in plan- | ning meals for serving away from the family dining room is to reduce the number of dishes to a minimum. A one-dish combination of some sort with a salad and dessert simplifies serving as well as dish washing. Very often the salad can be put on the table in an attractive salad bowl for each member to help himself. If you use compartment plates, the salad plate is unnecessary. Casserole dishes combining meat and vegetables, fish chowders and meat and vegetable pies are splendid main dishes for dinners al fresco. And for bread make bread and butter sandwiches or butter rolls and put them in the oven to heat. Veal and Vegetable Pie This is a delicious and attractive dish that can be varied interestingly. The vegetables can be cooked early in the day and the meat can | be cooked the day before if convenient. When you want to prepare your dinner you will need to make the crust and bake it. The crust will bake while you are setting the table and putting the finishing touches on the salad or dessert. One pound lean veal, 1 cup tiny cooked onions, 1 cup diced cooked 1 carrots, 1 cup cooked green peas, 2 : cups cooked potato marbles, 2 table- ' spoons butter, salt and pepper, VA cups flour, 2' 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons shortening, : teaspoon salt, milk. Cheaper Meat Suitable Choose veal from the small part of leg since it is usually cheaper | and the meat must be cut in small pieces anyway. Cover with boiling water and sim- j mer until tender, but not broken. | Add salt and let cool in stock, over j night if convenient. Remove fat j and bone from meat, making neat j pieces for serving. Arrange meat in a buttered cas- I serole. Remove fat from stock and j strain through cheesecloth. There should be about two cups j of stock. The liquid in which the ■ vegetables, with the excepton of the j onions, were cooked can also be | used. Melt butter, stir in flour and when bubbling add stock, stirring I constantly. Variety Offered Bring to boiling point, season j with salt and pepper. Add prepared j vegetables to meat in casserole and j pour over sauce. Mix and sift flour, j salt and baking powder. Rub in shortening and cut in milk with a knife. Use enough milk to make a soft dough. Roll on a floured molding board and cut with a small biscuit cutter. Cover top of mixture in casserole with biscuits and bake in a hot oven until biscuits are thoroughly baked and brown on top. It will take about thirty-five minutes for baking the biscuits because the sauce, meat and vegetables retard the baking. Serve from baking dish. Planked dishes are excellent for outdoor serving, too. The hot plank keeps the food hot and of course a variety of vegetables always surround whatever meat you are serving. Tire individual planks are just the thing for families who do not have j the same ideas about meats and I vegetables because each one can have what he particularly likes.
