WOMA Desserts for Warm Days BY LYBDIA'LE BARON WALKER. OLD desserts are the kind that are most enjoyed when days are hot. They seem to give the whole meal a refreshing touch, even though the rest Of the food may have been heating. There are many varieties of desserts that can be served chilled, and which BNOWBALLS WITH CHOCOLATE OR OTHER. SAUCES _ARE TEMPTING TO. SERVE IN HOT ATHER EITHER FOR OR FOR are almost as gratifying as ices and decidedly less trouble to make.- Inci dentally, they cost less, too The majority of cold desserts are in pudding form, stiffened with gela tin, corstarch of eggs. The latter are served in individual cups or in large dishes without being unmolded, while those stiffened with gelatin o cornstarch are apt to be made int attractive forms by molding. chilling and unmolding.

Bohby €oon had shuffed off in the moonlight along the bank of the Laughing Brook in the direction of the Smiling Pool. Peter watched him WHERE HE COULD WATCH BOBBY. HE SAT DOWN out of sight, all the time scratching his ears. Why had Bobby Coon been =0 interested in what Peter him about Mrs. Snapper the Snapping Turtle digging on the roof of Jerry Muskrat’s house? Why had Bobby so abruptly lost all interest in fishing and started off down the Laughing Brook? Why had he been so anxious to know exactly where Mrs. Snapper had dug that hole? Peter couldn’t find a satisfactory answer to any one of these questions. So after a hit he started on after Bobby (‘oon. He just had to know what Bobby was about. Bobby shuffled alons 1y. He didn't Stop, as he usually to investigate everything that catches his eve. He just kept right on until he reached the edge of the Smiling Pool where the Laughing Brook flows into it. There he sat for a few mo- ments_staring over at the house of Jerry Muskrat. Peter took great care that Bobby shouldn't know that he had been following. He sat down where he could watch Bobby, but where he could himself be unseen. Robby began to wade into the water. He was wading straight out for Jerry Muskrat's house. When the water got deep enough Bobby. bezan to swim. When he reached the house he climb- ! ed out on the roof. He shook himself. Then he began to hunt very carefully all over that roof. Peter could see him very plainly in the moonlight. Bobby seemed to know when he had found the place where Peter had seen | Mrs. Snapper the Snapping Turtle digging a hole. Anyway, it was right there that Bobby Coon began to dig. He pulled out the dead rushes and the mud with those little: black hands of his. He worked fast, did Bobby Coon. At last he took something out thing white, dge of the water, washed it z ate it. At once he went back 1o hole and got another. He did <ame thing with this one. Whatever it was that '"Robby was eating. he certdinly was enjoying it. Peter lost count of the ! | the bank had told | quite rapid- | does, | from fresh fruits, will prove squally delicious. A fancy dessert is made by combining cake with the snowballs in the following way: Cut a rather thick piece of plain cake—sponge and angel cake are each excellent. Cut a little bit from the center of one side, so that the snowball will be firm when | mounted on it. Pour a large spoonful of fudge sauce over the ball and dot the cake each side with whipped cream. This makes a dainty dish to set before guests who are at a party. | The blanc mange must be icy cold, and the sauce nearly cold, too. Chilled Rice Mousse. Rice mousse is another dish that is different. It is excellent for families where the children are old enough to come to the table and eat whatever the adults do. Stir well cooked rice that is dry and whole into whipped cream made extra stiff with gelatin. The cream should bhe well sweetened and flavored, and tinted, if you like. Suit the flavoring to the color. For instance, pistachio should be used with green vegetable coloring. Strawberry, | raspberry or peach are good with pink ing, orange or lemon with yel- ete. Fill a large, fancy mold with the mousse and chill for several hours on-ice, but do not freeze. Unmold and serve with or without whipped cream.

BURGESS number of times Bobby pulled some- | thing out that hole. After a long time Bobby felt around in that hole and brought out nothi at all. He tried again, with the s result. It was quite clear to Peter that whatever it was that Bobby had found none was left. Then Bobby didn’t bother to fill that hole in again. He once more began to go all over the roof of Jerry Muskrat's house !looking for another place in which to | dig. But he found nothing to interest | him and after a bit_he swam ashore. | Almost at once Bobby saw Peter Rabbit. He saw the look of curiosity in Peter's face Bobby grinned. “Thanks, Peter,” said he, “for the fine dinner I have enjoved.” “Dinner!” exclaimed Peter. “Din- ner! Whist dinner? And what are you thanking me for?" Again Bobby grinned and his grin was broader than before. “I've just had,” said he, “a splendid dinner of ezgs—the eggs of Mrs. Snapper the Snapping Turtle, and if you hadn’t told me where they were I shouldn't have had that dinner. ‘How could T tell you about them when I didn't even known Mrs. Snap- per had any eggs?” demanded Peter. Bobby chuckled. ‘“‘Some folks can tell more than they know.” said he. And that was all Peter could get from him, (Copyright, 192! MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. by T. W. Bursess.) Training in Thrift.

What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Virgo. Tomorrow’s planetary aspects ron tinue as favorable as they are today. until the early afternoon, when they assume a rather dubious and adverse character. The new enterprise or undertaking that was launched on Wednesday ean be followed up with energy and vim during the early hours of Thursday. Thereafter it would be wise to ease off a little and to take careful stock of what has been accomplished. It will also be essential, during the latter part of the day, to exercise a good deal of self-restraint, as the dissatisfaction caused by the changed conditigns will engender impulsiveness, acerbity and pessimism. Children born tomorrow will, in all probability, enjoy fairly normal health, although there are indications that they will be more than ordi- narily prone to risk of accident. They should be trained, in a physi- cal sense, not to attempt to “bite off more than they can chew.” In dis- position a girl will be from babyhood both winsome and sweet, with a wonderful degree of compassion and pity for those who are in trouble, and a heart big enough to render help | to all those who need it. A boy, on | the other hand, will be rather selfish- {1y inclined and more disposed to help himself than glve assistance to others. He will possess financial in- sight and will carve out for himselt a successful -position, regardless of all obstacles that he may have to overconie. 1f tomorrow is vour birthday your moet remarkable ~attribute is judgment or intuition. It rarely, ever, deceives you and your perience has demonstrated to vou that implicit trust in vour percep- tién is always justified by results. You have very little sense of hunjor and take life_very seriously and thoughtfully. You derive very little pleasure from sports or pastimes and secure your greatest happiness in study and-research. Your conversa- tion—and -you always carefully choose the words with which to ex- press your thoughts—is always in- teresting and instructive.

Afid we pose as blameless martyrs whno/are the ful victims of man’s perfidy. “Of course, it saves our faces to'be able to’lay all the blame for our wrecked homes on others, and it sootheg our hurt vanity to bewept over as & poor, innocent, deserted wife. “But in the still watches of the’night, when we have it out with our own souls, there sre mighty few: of us who can shrive our consclences and know that we ars ‘blameless, “Most of us know ‘{n our heart of hearts that if our husbands’ love died, we did our part in administering the lethal dose., 'We may have done it through' ignorance, through carelessness, through hiundering stupidity; we may have even done it with the best intentions'in the world and with the firm conviction that we were forcing down their throats a remedy that would cure them of all the little ailments and weakness of character from which they suffered. But the point is, we did it. We were accessory to the crime, and we could have prevented it it we would, “Now, as you-know, my’ husband forséok me for his secretary. T called her a thief who had used her position to rob me of a husband and my little children of their father, and T looked upon him with bitterness and contempt, as a poor weakling who let an adventuress make him forget his honor as a man and his duty to his wife and children. I called Heaven to witness that I was fnnocent and that T had been a good, true woman, who had always done her duty to her family. “It took me a long time to see that, if my husband grew weary of me, T had made him tired by my incessant nagging and fault-finding; that if he ceased to love me {t was.becauge I was no longer lovable, and that the other woman had not-really siolen him from me. T had simply handed him over to her on a silver salve ““You gee, T was one of the wives who did not, realize that it is easy enough to get a hushand, but the woik comes in’in keeping one.

I forgot that he went {rom a sloppy Wife to an office where a trim, perfectly groomed woman, younger and better looking than I, waited for him. 1 forgot that he went from my nagging and fault-finding to a girl who was paid to agree with him and whose joh depended largely on her flattering him and telling him how wonderful and great he was.® “It -wouldn’'t have been human for him, not to constitute a daily com- parison between us, and it was i{nevitable that when he did I should lose out. If T had kept my-doers locked and my burglar alarms in working order no one could have looted my home. And so T am just as responsible for the wreck of it as are those who broke. it up.” - My hushand was a pleasure-loving man,” said tihe second divercee. “He always wanted to be going somewhere. He loved to be in the thick of crowds. He adored dancing, and restaurants and the bright lights. He loved fine clothes, and always wanted me to look ke a fashion plate. ow, I am a serious-minded woman and was brought up to take a serious view of things, and I felt it my duty to cure my husband of his frivolity by leading him up to what T considered the higher life. “I began by trying tp wean him away from his old friends, on whom 1 turned such a cold shoulder that they soon ceased coming the house. I lectured him about his extravagance and the way he threw away money, and finally got possession of the family purse and doled out dimes to him. T wouldn't go out with him:ef an eyéning, and L rarely let him go without a scene. “At first he submitted, but he looked bored and sulky. and then he broke out of Jail, which was all his home had come to be tn him. and that was the beginning of the end. “For. of course. when I wouldn't play with him he found some other | woman who would. and who wouldn't wet-blanket every occasion by her moral { strictures or spoil every meal at a restaurant by looking at the pay check. “If T had been willing to flatter him, a..2 jolly him, and dance with him, and let him spend his money on me, he would never have left me. But I wouldn't do it, and my austerity got on his nerves. He wanted a playmate Indtead of 4 censor, and =o 1 feel that T am just as much to blame as he was.” “T lost my husband through ambition.” said the third divercee. “He was mn artist of great talent. and T was mad for him to win fame and money, so I never let him rest. I prodded him on all the time. T was forever a goad in his side, and so ¥ became to him sort of an incarnate conscience, a perpetual reminder of all the unpleasant duties of life. “He was temperaniental @ ¢hild of impolee, and T became his task a slave driver to him.

Recent]ly one of my cotemporaries burst into print, announcing that the quickest and most effective way for a #irl to chieapen herself was for her to begin meeting young men outside of her own home. She asserted that such action involved deception of lov ing parents and that this deception gradually lowered the girl's’ moral standard. All very true as far as it goes, but this writer has not given much of a chance to the poor girls whose prob- lems have come to my attention. ‘There are still some parents in Amer- ica who go on the old-fashioned theory that girls shouldn't have anything tc do with boys until they reach a mar riageable age. And so the old folks put their foot down and say, “No male baing shall enter this home until vou're 22 (And the poor girl knows ger!ect v well that by that time she'll ave missed a whole heap of good times that were coming to her) Of course, this procedure is unnat ural. It deprives the girl of all her rightful enjoyment and pleasure, and her only reaction to it is the impulse to deceive. Is there any girl in the world who, if she meets a nice boy who asks to come and call on her, isn't trightfully disappointed when she told that there's nothing doing in th calling line—as far as her fond par ents are concerned? Why shouldn’t she see the boy? It's not her fault that her parents are still muddling along in the Middle Ages. Do you think that she ought to glve up all her chances of making nice boy friends and having gay times just because she hasn't the privilege of asking them to visit her in her own home? No, she shouldn't. She ought to make a final appeal to her parents: | and if they refuse to see the light tHen she ought to tell the boy frankl how the matter stands—not hedg: about and hurt his feelings by pre tending she doesn’t want him to come to her home. Probably the bov. if he's an under- standing person. will see how utterly hlameless she is for her course of action and will like her none the less for it. He may be indignant at her parents’ attitude, but he can't blame her for that. Then the only thing for these two voung people to do is to meet at the home of 2 mutual friend. Girl friends are alwavs so convenient about th matters. you'll find: and surely there's no-harm in meeting at the house of a friend whose parents vou know and like. There's no necessity for meet- ing on street corne: n low danee halls, which so many of our reformers are fond of tellinz us is the vouns people’s babit today. You can be just as decent and above beard in an unfortunate situation like this as you could be if vour parents were the everyday type who didn't ob ject to boy and girl friendships. The main thing to avold in cases of this sort is putting your boy friend off with slight excus He will be hurt at first, then anzry and then openly contemptuous of a girlwho pre- fers to make dates at other people’s houses rather than in her own. If vou tell him fairly and squarely that it's no fault of vours he'll feel quite differently about it.
