HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS 6 Mr. Ellzatoth TbonVMii

You will remember a letter from "Bob," telling of his desire to leave home because of his father's strictness. Bob also resented some of the demands made regarding his stepmother, such as calling her "mother." I advised him to submit gracefully to his father's will for awhile longer. It would be impossible lor him to run away because he was not of age. I also suggested that discipline was good for his character. The following is his reply to my letter: Dear Mrs. Thompson: Maybe you will not care to hear from me again, but you were kind enough to try to help me and I am quite sure I failed to thank you before. It wasn't just what I expected, your answer, I mean. If you don't mind my being frank, I didn't like it. I guess I had hoped you would agree with me and maybe sympathize, but I suppose you are right. I imagine my own mother ould have said the same thing, and that is a compliment, for I had a dandy mother. My father is a very determined man and I guess I have a lot of it in me, anyway there is plenty of friction. Like it or not, though, I am going to try to take your aavice all but one thing calling her "mother." I can't. It Is not a little thing to submit to and I still hold that it is unfair. I am glad she is nice to my sister.

but then Sis was friendly to her from

the start. I wasn't. I never stopped

to realize her feelings. Maybe it. has not been dead easy having me around either. She has been fair, too. She has never squealed on me when I have done some little annoying things to tease her. I am sick of restraint and being made to do things. But there would be no use going away only to be brought back, and so I'll have to be a "kid" for another year. Now I want to ask you one more question. As I said before. Dad, for no reason I can see, absolutely refuses to let me go with any girls except Sis. A girl classmate pursues (that doesn't sound quite gentlemanly, but I don't know a better word) and all but asks me to take her to dances. So far I have been able to wriggle out of it. But I think she will soon ask me outright. AHow can I escape and yet keep her respect? How can I explain things when I can't even explain them to myself? She would dub me a mollycoddle or something Just as flattering if she knew. I have to obey Dad and so would most of the bunch. A lot of them go to dances and stay out until midnight, while I can't even attend a dance unless it is on Friday night, and then 10:30 is the limit. Thanking you In advance this time, I remain. BOB.

I think if your mother knows, and j

surely she does, she appreciates your refusal to call your stepmother "mother." Probably you can avoid calling her anything without hurting her feelings. Perhaps your stepmother will help you In your efforts to conquer your

father. Be considerate of her and make her like you. Then il you solicit her help she will be glad to speak to your father and see what she can do to help you. Do not worry about what the girl will think. Tell her in a mysterious way that you cannot go. She will not know why and your blind and Indifferent answer will puzzle her and make her all the more interested in you. Of course thank her for the Invitation. Your letters have been most Interesting and if at a future time I can help you, I shall be glad to make the effort.

HAVING A GOOD TIME Frightened at her own voice and her wild, Inarticulate protest Annie's nerves gave way entirely She dropped back Into her seat and burst Into hysterical crying, her face buried in her arms . There was a little commotion. The teacher in the pretty shirtwaist ushered the wealthy ladies out into the corridors with many apologies and explanations. Annie was told to go home. Which she did, wet-eyed and sobbing. That is, she went to her Aunt Margaret's, and with pathetic gulps and breath-catchings, told her of the incident in school. "Dear," said Aunt Margaret, fixing her small Iron bed for Annie to lie down on and patting the pillow invitingly, "you've got to play a little. You will be old before you've ever been

young. Your'e only seventeen, Nancie, and there's worry in your eyes. 1 know what it is. I've" a half-suppressed sigh here, "I've been through it. I want you to have some good times and to marry and be happy with a home and children. Now take two or three nights a week to have fun in." Aunt Moggie followed up her advice with tickets to the theatre once or twice. They went together and Bat in the fifty-cent seats upstairs. But Annie's mother protested that "she never got taken anywhere, and that the money was needed more for the house anyway, than for pleasure that cost so much." Annie felt guilty, and when Yetta Kaplin next urged an oft-repeated suggestion that they go together to "a grand dance place" she knew of, Annie

overdressed in cheap Imitations of the prevailing styles exaggerated.' of course. There were Jewish girls, Italian girls, Gentile girls, all of the factory type, all noisily laughing and chatting. There were many couples sitting together on the red plush benches. The boys were of two types. Most of them were poorly clothed, homely and awkward, smiling painfully at introductions, at a loss to know how to dispose of hands and feet; stumbling through the dances and flocking with other ungainly lads between numbers. These were the working boys from the factory and shop. The other young men were slim and sleek and well dressed too noticeably so. Their hair was shiny-neat, like their patent leather shoes. Their clothes were of the kind seen in the dashing clothiers' windows labeled "nobby" or "the latest." These lads

J were sharp-eyed, but easy of manner.

agreed to go I. Fldelbaum's Select Dancing Academy was on West Broadway. It was up a flight of stairs above a cafe adorned with a. sign in colored electric lights. You could hear music and laughter before you got halfway to the dought doors of the entrance where' rusty red cudtains shut off the draught. There was a long room with many mirrors, mostly cracked, all more or less dirty. Red plush seats ran along three walls. At the back on a small platform was the music" two fiddles, a clarinet and piano badly out of tune. The lights glared horribly and it was very hot, with a haze of smoke from cheap cigars and cigarettes. A dance was just finishing as Annie and Yetta came in and entered the stuffy anteroom, where hats and coats were left. Several garishly-dressed young girls were there, powdering their faces before a looking glass. All

the girls in the dancing room were j They were never at loss for words

Household Hints

DESSERTS Banana Whip Three bananas, one lemon, one and one-half tablespoons gelatin, one cup sugar, one-half cup cold water, two cups boiling water. Peel and mash bananas and add juice of lemon and sugar. Mix gelatine

with cold water and add boiling water.

Combine mixtures when cool and beat over ice until creamy. Pour into wet mold. Turn out when firm and serve decorated with a spoonful of whipped cream and a red cherry. Coffee Gelatine Two " tablespoons gelatine, two cups hot coffee, one cup brown sugar, two egg whites. Soak the gelatine in one-third cup cold water, then dissolve in the hot coffee. Add sugar and set aside to cool. Before it hardens whip in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs and continue to whip until frothy. Pour into a mold and set aside to harden. A specially delicious desert can be made by varying some of the prepared flavored gelatins. For example, add to the cherry gelatine the juice of an orange heated . with one-quarter cup sugar, beat this mixture into the partly cool beaten gelatine, and then beat in the stiffly beaten whites of two

eggs. Whipped cream may be used instead of whites of eggs.

Many feel that frozen desserts require a great deal of extra work, but if the kitchen is equipped with a freezer of suitable size, in good working condition and a heavy canvas bag and mallet to be used for crushing

the ice, a dessert which will meet! with the approval of all may be quick-1

ly made and there is nearly always an extra pair of willing hands ready to turn the freezer for a small consideration. Inexpensive, wholesome fruit desserts find their way more often to the table. Another advantage Is found In the fact that the cool part of the day and set aside to "ripen" until serving time. Pineapple Pudding One pint of heavy cream, three-quarters cup of pulverized sugar, one-half box of gelatine, a large can of pineapple, preferably Bhredded (grated or crushed) a shredded orange, whites of three eggs. Put the gelatine to soak in sufficient water to make with the gelatine three-quarters of a cup. When soft, melt by setting In a vessel of hot water. Whip the cream, fold in the sugar and fruit, add the gelatine whipped light. This recipe will make two quarts of pudding. Noodles With Cheese Two cups noodles, one-quarter pound cheese, two tablespoons butter substitute, salt and pepper to taste. Cook the noodles in plenty of boiling salted water until soft; drain. Melt butter substitute, add noodles, grated cheese and seasonings. Cook slowly on back of range or with gas low until cheese Is melted, or put in moderate oven for a few minutes. Serve as a luncheon dish.
