They lend distinction to luncheons and dinners without being difficult to prepare. The thing to bear in mind is that the medallions should be round or oval. The same ingredients fashioned in squares cannot rightfully come under the heading of medallions. The idea of decoration implied in other medallions Is not lacking in edible; ones, which are frequently delightful instances of the artistry of food preparations. What They Are Made Of. The foundation -of medallio be rounds oi bread, to pastry, foods in aspic or gelatin of meat, ete. On such foundations are formed the decorations which may be the most tasty portions of the medal- lions. These may be of meat or fish and consequently very hearty, form- ing the main course for a luncheon, or they may be entrees, or even he so light and delicate that they form desser A Tempting Dish. A substantial kind of medallion which is somewhat “different” is made from boned lamb or pork chops, formed into rounds and held in shape by tying or with toothpick. Which- ever are used, the securing agents must be removed before serving. Pan broil until done. Cut pieces of bread slightly larger than the meat rounds. toast and butter them.

With a star end in a pastry tube press a largesized star of the puree on top of the meat. Dot the center with a bit of pimento. Or the puree may form a ring about the rim of the meat and cross stripes of the pimento be in the center top. Carrots and baked or French fried potatoes are good vegetables to serve with these medallions. Cereal Medallions. Medallicns can be made with rice or hominy as a foundation.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Pisces. Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are favorable, and the signs counsel the initiation of any new and important enterprise or the carrying out of any radical change about the necessity of which you are convinced. The omens apparently favor business and bank- ing transactions more than other lines of endeavor, but anything which savors of constructive effort is assur- ed of ultimate success. Do not hes tate to take full advantage of condi- tions so favorable to happy fruition. Incidentally, it is also a good oppor- tunity to contract marriage, as the in- dications point to a long and success- ful partnership. A girl born tomorrow will, like most infants, experience several ill- nesses, but none of them will be of such ious character as to jeop- ardize her chances of attaining a healthy womanhood. A boy, on the other hand, will go through his in- fancy with flving colors, but in his teens is more than ble to have at least one serious ailment which will tax the reserves of those nearest to r utmost. In temperament will be very similar. will both be a little wild in their vears, but this tendency, which need not necessarily be vicious, will isappear under proper influence and with good environment. They will in their teens soon learn to realize the foolishness o r pranks and will then acquir 1ous of charac- ter and u disposition which, later on in life, will commend them to all who know them. They will find more en- joyment in outdoor life and sports than tn scholastic work, but they will always anage, somehc or other, to “get by,” and the school of experience will teach th voung people more than the average school of learning.

Here is a new pattern in china which seems exactly suited to a breakfast room or informal dining room, where quaint charm rather than eiegance is the decorator’s aim. Old-fashioned posies in bright pink, lavender and yellow with pale green leaves are naively scattered over a ground of rich old blue. One can im- agine this set furnishing inspiration for the whole room’s color scheme. The walls would be apple green, the woodwork cream color. The furni- ture would be of rich old walnut with seat pads of buttercup yellow. Ruf- fled curtains of sheer white swiss, crossbarred in blue, would hang at the windows, and a rose-colored rag rug would be spread on the floor. “Puzzlicks” PuszleLimericks A sleeper from the —1— Put nighties of his —2— For the reason —3— He was too —4— To get his own —5—. 1.

C, WEDNESDAY, STAR, WASHINGTO we | Dorothy Dix At 17 a Girl Is Only in Love With Love and Needs to Be Saved From Her First Sweetheart Until She Has Seen Enough of World. Says Miss 17 Needs Pro- tection From Herself LONEL GREEN, 4 very rich Texan, who, with his wife, has adopted 11 daughters, says: “Girls need to be protected from their first sweethearts. A girl in the puppy-love stage needs protection from herself just as she needs a dentist when she has a toothache.” I want to add my confirmation to this statement. There isn't a mail that doesn’t bring me two or three heartbroken letters from women whose lives were wrecked because they had no one to protect them from themselves when they were 17. “I thought T was in love with the man I married when I was 17,” one woman will write. “Now I am 24, and I simply hate him. There isn't a thing he does that doesn’t get upon my nerves. He bores me to extinction, and I cannot imagine what I ever saw in him that made me think I even fancied him.” “I married when I was 17 a man for whom I thought I had the grand passion,” writes another. “I know now that it was a child’s passing fancy, and I have met the man who is my real mate and whom I worship with my whole soul.” “I married when I wa's 17,” writes still another, “now I am 23. T have four bables, and I am worn and broken in health and old before my time. I have never had any of the pleasures of girlhood and I am tired of my husband, tired of my fretting children, tired of my home, tired of marriage.” So these letters run, each one stressing some pitiful phase of the too-early marriage. Oftener than not the man in the case is not to blame. He took no advantage of the girl's inexperience to lure her into marriage. She was just as anxious to marry him as he was to marry her. He has not changed and turned from a fairy prince to a brute. He is just the same ordinary chap he always was. It is only her taste in men that has altered. Nor has he falled in his duty to her as a husband. It is only that marriage Is a life work and not a jazz party and she wasn't ready to settle down to the business of wifehood and motherhood. “ e e ONETHELESS, there is the tragedy of a wrecked life as black and piteous as can be made of broken hopes and blasted fllusions and weariness and hopelessness and despair. For there is no undoing this thing that a girl did in the folly of her youth. It is because the too-early marriage may end in disaster that it is so important to protect a girl against her first sweetheart. It doesn't matter who he is or what qualities he possesses. He may be the incarnation of every charm and virtue and the girl may be crazy about him at the time, but that is no guarantee that when she grows up she will still be attracted by that particular line of qualities in a man. For it is the girl herself who is in a transition stage, whose needs are changing every day, whose tastes are altering every hour, whose ideals differ from minute to minute and who at 17 has no more idea of what particular type of a husband she will want when she is 24 than she has of what style of hat she will feel she cannot live without seven years from now. Hence the danger of picking out a husband for keeps before she even knows what she admires and wants in a man. Heaven knows matrimony is risky enough for women without thelr taking any chances on what they are going to be and prefer themselves. Furthermore, there is this added danger: That the disgruntled and unhappy wife almost invariably finds some man with whom she does fall in love, and then, unless she is a woman of high moral principle and great strength of character, there is another unsavory scandal and a wrecked home and orphaned little children. It is the women who marry too young who are the pleasure-mad, frivolous, silly, middle-aged and elderly women who make a laughing stock of themselves by wearing flapper clothes and who get into scrapes out of | which their husbands have to pay them, with tea hounds and professional entertainers at jazz places and who carry on flirtations with boys voung enough to be their grandsons. Somehow, it seems to be a law of nature that we must all have our playtime, and the woman who misses her girl time is sure to try to take it later on, with'disastrous results. D BOVE all, 17 is the dangerous age for a girl, because then she is in love with love. She is just slopping over with sentiment. She is like a child with a dollar in its hand that it is burning to spend and she is ready to lavish the whole treasure of her heart on the first passerby without even looking to see whether he is worthy or not. In her heart she is singing as did_ the old Floradora sextet, "I must love somebody and it might as well be you.” Ever since her pigtail days she has been thinking about love and imagining how thrilling it would be to fall in love and to be loved, and out aginings and the novels she has read and the movies she has seen shioned a wondrous robe of romance that she can fling over any man that comes on the scene. In reality she never sees the man. She only beholds the lovely garment she has embroidered for him. % At 17 a girl can hypnotize herself into thinking she is in love wi drunkard, a tous, & man old enotgh to be her fathor.

Our Children— By Angelo Patri Accept the Effort. “Mother, can I stay home every Thursday_afternoon?” “Why Emmaline. What makes you think of such a thing? I thought you always liked school.” Mother nearly dropped the bowl of spinach in her consternation. Yot on Thursday afternoons. It's sewing and I can’t do it. Teacher al- ways says, ‘Awful, awful. Rip it out and do it again Two tears twinkled an instant and were pressed back. Emmaline did not cry—usually. “Well, never mind. Fat your spin- ach. The egg Is all crinkly gold just the way you like it. And the toast. Just look. Isn’t it a pretty color? Nice and crunchy. Come along now, Emmaline. It is not like you to shirk.” “0 mother, I can’t eat it when I think of sewing. You don't know how bad it is or you wouldn't ask me to do it. I do my best. I try and try and the thread gets all knotty and the rag wrinkles up and the needle drops out and it won't push in, or out. You don’t know. And then she says, ‘Awful, awful. Rip it all out.’” “Suppose 1 go over and see the teacher? Perhaps if I tell her it is hard for you she will ind some way to_help you.” “No, mother. It's mo use. She’s special. You can't talk to them like the others. She's special. Sewing's special. Please let me stay home Thursday afternoons.” %) “No, Emmaline, I couldn’t do that. You will have to brace up and do your best. By and by it will come easier.” But after Emmaline had gone de- jectedly forth to her struggle with the special mother went over to the school and told the sewing teacher that Emmaline had trouble with the sewing. Perhaps the teacher would help Emmalino & bit and cheer her up. The little girl’s fingers were stiff and pudgy and very awkward. It would take time to train them. Em- maline was a good child and tried hard always. “BEmmaline’s work is very unsatis- factor; So far this term she hasn't been able to make 5 inches of seam. She simply doesn’t get the ldea of hemming at all. The only thing I can see for her to do is to Keep right on practicing until she gets it.

The standards are not so high there I insist upon accurate work or none. So Emmaline went to sew in the | class of the regular teacher. She took those who didn’t do so well in the other group, if they were willing. Emmaline stabbed her painful way across the 5-inch stretch of unbleached muslin. The red stitches pointed in | all directions. They were long and | short, spaced widely, set close, each a | law to itself. The teacher smiled and said, “Well, well. I think maybe you can make a doll dress. You've tried hard, Emma- line.” Emmaline wiped a damp hand along her hip and drew a long_sigh of relief. She even smiled. A bleak smile, but a smile. The teacher started the hem on the new dress, a pretty piece of pink lawn. Emmalina loved pink. Now you do five stitches and then I'll do five and we’ll see how much you grow.” That was all. At the end of the term Emmaline could sew—well enough. If the child has made an honest effort to accomplish his task, smile upon him and go ahead. Don't wait for the hundred per cent. There is no such thing anyway. Take the honest effort and go ahead. Mr. Patri will give personal attention to inquiries from parents or school teachers on the care and development of children.

Last year John spent five evenings a week telling Dorothy just how much he loved her, and the year be- fore that he gave Angela his fraternity pin and asked her to wait for him. Ida knows all this, but she doesn’t care. “He didn’t really love those girls,” she tells her friends sweetly. “He onl}"’ rushed them to make them feel good.” “But he appeared so serious about it all,” some of her chums remark with gentle cattiness. “How can you be sure that he isn’t handing you the same old line?” “‘He has told me that he loves me— that he never loved any one before— and I believe him,” was Ida's proud response, and the girls were silenced by her beautiful faith. Older and wiser people were not silenced, however. They protested that John was a fickle sort of chap who would break Ida's heart in no time—that she ought to give up her romantic ideas about him. And when she told them seriously that she didn’t believe for a minute her sweetheart had ever been really in love before they turned on her and called her a conceited little fool. That made her open her eyes pretty wide. She—conceited? But why? Because her attitude was “of course, he loves me. How can he help it? Of course, he never loved those other girls—they weren’t half as nice as I am.” No, she didn’t actually say those things, but they were way down deep in her mind. Ida is so thoroughly convinced of her own importance and charm and beauty that she is perfectly willing to believe the nicest things men tell her about herself. Her belief in John's fidelity isn't a sign of tender trust—it's just a proof of her unfailing vanity. She asks herself whether it's likely that any man she honors with her love will ever tire of her, and laughs scornfully at the very idea. She is so wrapped up in her own personality that she doesn’t heed danger signals. It's so dangerous to be Ida's sort of girl. You are so easily decelved and fooled by men if you think too well of yourself. It is the finest thing in the world to trust the man you love—to believe him when he says that he will turn over a new leaf for you. But be sure that your belief is founded on what you know of him— not what you fondly imagine about yourself If you are rushing into any sort of entanglement with the idea that your beauty and charm will make a better man of him whom you've chosen— snap out of it. Be sure that there's something in him to depend on—something worth while taking a chance on before you display too much beautiful faith. And when you're tempted to take every word he says about what you've done to him as gospel truth, ask your- self whether you're being loyal enough to believe the truth or just conceited enough to swallow a line.

DAUGHTERS OF TODAY By HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR Martha Dennison, at }1, faces the fact that her husband and children have drifted away from She meets Perry Macdonald they become friends. CHAPTER IX. The Following Wednesday. If Martha had been more sophisti- cated, more used to the fascinating game of intrigue, she would not have taken Perry Macdonald's attentions so seriously. As it was, his lightheart- ed dalliance was hidden from her eyes by a veil of glamour. She told herself that he was seeking her out because she interested him, because she was different from the other women he had known. And although this was true as far as it went, Perry was not seriously im- pressed with Martha. He liked her more than a little. She was fresh and unspoiled in her viewpoints, and the fact that she was married would, of course, keep the game from becoming too serious. These were the thoughts that drifted through his mind with regard to M tha. Perry had never been seriou impressed with any woman. He was too fond of his freedom, too much the confessed bachelor to have any desire for marriage. On the Tuesday before Martha was to have dinner with Perry, John Den- n was called to Washington on ness. rtha was secretly glad. It wasn't that she wanted to deceive John, but his absence would make it possible for her to postpone the issue. She dreaded having him know about Perry.
