Richardson may able to introduce the idea in state de- partments, but it will be a long time before it will be effective in the wage schedule of the business world. Yet it would seem to be prompted by the sim plest justice, Why should not women be as well pald as men if they do equal- Iy good work? Two reasons are usually advanced— First—"Men have families to support and women haven't.” Second—""Women do not stay in their positions as well as men. Just as soon as they are fairly well trained they up and marry. "The first anawer is ‘manifestly absurd, The single girl does not use her money for herself any more exclusively than the single boy. And the married wom- an has usually just as much of a family to support as the married man, else she would not be working. As & matter of fact, marriage and family obligations have nothing whatever to do with it. Business compensations have no such ethical basis. These sentimental alibis are dragged in to gloss over a manifest economic injustice. The second answer is equally unsati factory. The day has passed when em- ployes entered a firm as apprentices and remained in its employ until death. The average male employe moves about just as does the average female employe. He is pald for his performance, not for permanence. Why should not the wom- an receive the same treatment? (Copyright. 1923.)

So at last he decid- ed that he would have to eat some of those he had hidden away. Sammy flew over to a_certain post on the top of which he had hidden peanut. He looked this way and that Way to make sure that no one was watching him. Then with his bill he noked around in the snow on the top of that post. He found nothing there. Tie became excited. He made the snow fly. Still no peanut. Sammy paused long enough to look at the other posts along that fence to make Jure that this was the right one. There was no doubt about it; this was the post where he had hidden a peanut. That peanut wasn't there. Sammy wps puzzled. He was puzzled und he-Was angry.

Now. in the first place, ask for full directions. Don't be ashamed of your ignorance in not knowing the etiquette of the matter, because visiting a girl in college Is like nothing else in the social calendar, and besides, rules and conventions vary in the different col- leges. It is usual for the girl who asks the man to make arrangements for h hotel accommodations as a matter of convenience to him, though it would be absurd and unheard of for her to pay his expenses. The usual occasion for asking men to a girls’ college is at the time of some big dance or for one of the special athletic or field and then unless the girl makes arrang ments beforehand for rooms, the man is apt to find himself among those turned away at the ne: hotels. Sometimes the hotels are so crowded on such occasions that it is necessary for a group of young men to bunk.in the same room, and then girls who room together or who are chums will arrange to have their various friends and brothers go in together in this way, though they may never have met each other and may come from widely scat- tered parts of the land. It is not, of course, usual for & man guest to take dinner with the young woman he is visiting at her dormitory or house. 1If he is a young man he would decidedly not want to face the sea of girls that such an ordeal would en- tail. But there always are little tea rooms and inns near the girls’ colleges where he can invite the girl or possibly the girl and her chum for tea or dinner, and there is no longer any thought of having to have a chaperone for such a party.

White Organdie One day a delightfully whimsical idea took hold of a delightfully whimsical designer who lives on the Champs Elysees, in Paris, where the horse chestnut trees are now coming into glory. No American who buys and- sells clothes falls to know that big white house fronting the avenue. They pick up a hundred and one ideas there, all of which are incorpor- ated in clothes we wear, knowing lit- tle, caring less for their source. The bib was one of the ideas. This was the whimsical idea that the whimsical designer had. She took a bit of white organdie, ran fine tucks over it, added an edge of lace and | placed it over a black frock to break the bateau neckline. It was a suec- cess. Everyone spoke of Jenny’'s bib. Now it is incorporated in our frocks for epring and summer. The sketch shows euch 2 frock of black crepe de chine, a fabric that no | popularity kills. Its bib is of organ- die and lace with cuffs to match. To- day these are placed on short sleeves which are revived by manufacturer and dressmaker to be sold wholesale and retail to be worn by individual- ists who seek to be different and by the girl who buys everything new when It comes out every two months. But the bib is not the only novelty on this gown. There is a Docket of tears. This is a curious appendage to the frock: even more whimsical than the bib. These tear-shaped pleces of organdie are bound with black and the opening of the pocket is bound with white. Of course, you know the source of the idea? It is the beaded evening bag which wo- men have carried for years, the kind with festoons of crystals on a net or silk surface. This very designer who invented the bib and fantastic pocl ets, also colored silk handkerchiefs harness necklaces, detachable sleeves and the elbow patch, invented the idea of turning one's discarded bead bag into a pocket. Now she fashions a new pocket like a beaded bag, re- versing the method. The bib as a piece of spring neck- wear is a suggestion of worth. All of us have odds and énds of fine old lace and embroidered muslin waiting resurrection. It will serve this new fashion. (Copyright, 1928.) Molasses Pie.

Things You’ll Like to Make A Perpetunl Onlendar. A perpetual calendar is a most con- venient thing to possess. For the holder use a box of convenlent size. A paste- board one will do. You can paint or enamel it to strengthen and beautify it, after. it is properly cut. Remove the cover and one end. Measure in @ half- inch (or one inch, according to the size of the box) from all sides of the bottom. Join the dots. Cut out the inner oblong thus formed. This leaves a narrow strip all around the bottom. (See.sketch at the Jeft of the illuatration.) Glue a narrow strip of board across the top of the box, as shown. Cut coards of three different lengths and the width of the box. The date cards are two-thirds the length of the day cards. The month jcards are one-half the ilength of the ate cards. There are sixteen cards in :all; two for the days (two days on each side of each card, one the top, one reversed_at the bottom; eight for the dates (tWo dates on each side of each card); six for the months (one on each side of each card).

Louise La Valliere and Loui Quatorze. : “Bid me die or love me! I cannot hide my misery, and the curiosity of my friends drives me mad. I implore you, in the name of God, to relent or iss me forever.” Thus did_the powerful King Louis of France address a maid-in-waiting to a court lady.

Touls' love for La Valliere was most intense. She was his mistress and favorite for many years and bore him thres children. So deeply did he love her that. when on one occasion they quarrelled, he became seriously. il 2nd did not recover until Louise came bedside. o ese. two lstters were written when Louis had to make a trip to Fontainebleau and Louise could not accompany him because of an injury she had sustained in an accident. From Louise: “Mon dieu! How inconvenient I find it to love s0 charming a prince. I have not a moment's rest from the | thousand things that overflow my 3 Ill'trul{,.l often wish you i1 iable.

I ask you to share my chagrin and to grant me your pity for the ills ‘which your absence inflicts upon me— ovils which all the pleasures promised by my court cannot soften, and which persuade me that you suffer all that Which a person who loves can suffer. _——— Sweet Potatoes With Prunes. Pare and parboil some sweet pota- toes of oval shape. Core them with corer and fill the cavity of two or more es pre viously stoned. Insert into the ends of the potatoes halves of the cores, to retain the juices. Bake on the grate of the oven with a pan beneath to catch the drippings. For six or eight sweet potatoes place in the pan two cupfuls of sugar with two cupfuls of water, and allow to remain until the potatoes are cooked. Remove these to a hot dish, place in the warming oven and boil down the sugar syrup. Pour this syrup over the sweet potatoes for a glage. Serve With roast goose, brolled fresh mackerel, or any rather rich mieat or fish. p e Ham With Pineapple. Cut some ham in slices one-fourth inch thick.

Drain a can of sliced pineapple and saute the slices in ham fat butter until heated thoroughly and llg “bm'n, or m and : . an apple each Arrange the pineapple serve very hot. ‘FEXTURES, : Your Home and You BY HULEN KENDALL. Homemade Warming Closet. One of the disadvantages of the lit- tle two or three burner gas stoves {or even larger ones) that have no hood over! s the lack of a warm- ing closet for keeping food hot or ‘warming th® dishes for a meal. In the acoompanying sketoh is shown a homemade device which an- swers the purpose of such a warming oloset and 18 quite decorative be- sides. Except that the built-in-hood s not quite high enough above the stove, the artist has shown it verg faithfully. It should be high enoug! above the stove so that large kettles, pots and large double boilers will have plenty of room and so that dishes put on the wire shelf will not become too hot. This warming cupboard is made of one plain woden shelf supported by two inclosing sidepleces. On two woodeh cleats nailed to the inside of |3 the endpleces there rests a shelf of ery heavy woven wire, secured all around the edge by a piece of heavy nickel tubing, to which the wire is fastened. The whole closet should be a little longer than the stove, not only to afford more shelf space, but to be sure the flame from the burners dose not reach the wood. The wooden top shelf is too far away to be in danger. This top shelt may be utilized to hold the teapot and coffes percolator, a serving tray, or other kitchen fu; nishings. It is hardly warm enough to be used for heating purposes. The inside of the cupboard, however, re- tains and conserves the heat from the stove, and foods and dishes placed on the wire shield will keep piping hot, even without being inclosed by doors or a sliding lid. In the cupboard shown, the wire rack is arranged so that it will lift at the front edge and turn back against the wall, leaving the space free for the use of a washboilor, a large preserving kettle or other high utensils.
