That | BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Your Judgment or Hers? 1 A young girl who supports her moth- er and herself on her zalary as a stenographer asks whether she has not the right to spend her money as she chooses. She acknowledgss her obliga- tion as a daughter, but complains that her mother’s judgment is deficient in money matters. It seems that her mother is insistent that she hold the purse sirings. There are personal elements as well as economic in these tangies, and we are best off dealing with the latter exclusively. Where a woman earns a salary and | supports herself it is fair to assume that sbe will use her own judgment in spending her salary. If she has a parent, guardian or relation with su-| perior judgment, she may be guided y_the latter to some extent. 1 Whatever the fact, it is probable that | the self-dependent women will some | day be thrown entirely on her own re-| sponsibility. If she has leaned on an- | other for decisions all through life her | DAILY DIET RECIPE | | Chocolate Milkshake. Chocolate sirup, 4 tablespoons. Cracked ice, ' glass. Milk, 1 glass.

In- deed. he is enjoying it in just the way and congeniality upon her return. For instance, certain sports. such as goif. | ete.. which are favorites with him. he does not indulge as much as he would like when she is at home. because her | taste for outdoor sports does not run in | that line. When she is home he con- | | cedes to her wishes, and with excelient | grace is more devoted to swimming and | beach pastimes. But now that she is away he spends much time upon the | olf links, trying to get his fill of it. for the time being at least | A husband who is constantly meeting | groups of people all day in conference | quite naturally does not care for a great | amount of company during the hours | when he is at home. This is not so much that he is not socially inclined as | that he is somewhat surfeited with con- stantly changing new contacts in his | business. He prefers a quiet home life. a preference which under the circum- stances his wife respects. And yet she | does not entirely sacrifice the enter- taining. of which she is so fond and at | which she has a genuine gift. Tt so happens that her husband is required to make trips twice a year and it is dur- ing those intervals that she plays hostess most frequently. In this way she is able to cater to his wishes and to | her own pleasure. It is seldom or mever that any t persons enjoy identically the same | things to exac the same extent, and how dull if they did! It is differences in tastes as well as similarities that | make persons mutually attractive. Hus- | { band or wife does well to allow a cer ‘ o tain amount of leisure to the other to indulge in the harmless pleasures which | have been part of life before mmr\a:r.‘ and to realize that a short absence, one from the other, may give such occa-| sions. It is not necessarily a sign of | any lack of devotion when husbands | and wives take their vacations separate- | | 1y. Several devoted couples of my own | | acquaintance make a practice of doing | this. Each has opportunity to indulge | | in his or her hobby, to revel in the table | they most enjoy and to get that | tive which is very valuable in st adjustment of home life dishes pers| the My Neighbor Says: When making apple sauce do not allow the apples to stew They should be cooked guickly so that the shape and color of the apples may be preserved.

No matter what one may think about one’s own judgment, or that of an- other, it is important to use one’s own. is no denying the fact the ex- ce of others only helps us to a limited extent. Expericnce in handling one's own money is the best way to| develop judgment in money matters. As in the above instance, where there is only a limited amount of money available. parents and others are some- times reluctant to allow children to gain the experience essential to judg- ment.

Yet no one knew of | any robbers in that country, and what robber would make his den In a rocky headland? Few people ever had reason to pass that way, and those few took care to avoid the spot. 1If pushed a peasant might tell you that even if you did go among the rocks no harm would come to you.

If you were inordinately curious and not afraid you might pick your way mong those rocks to see for voursell. Your guide, if he lived in that region, would carefully go round the longest way. keeping as far from the rocks as possible. Your guide would expect that when you had seen the man you would hasten to rejoin him and that there- | after you, too, would avoid the spot.

That glance, from two bloodshot A cannon, and his stolcal immobility could only be compared to the change- less aspect of the slabs of granite thar lay about him Slowly his eyes would turn toward you. his body as rigid and motionless as if he had been turned to stone. The after that glance, which would make | impression on your | mind, his eyes would turn to gaze stead- | {ly over the vast stretch of sea, in spite | of the glare reflected from it, as the eagle is said to gaze at the sun without lowering his eyellds. The man would not look up again from the waves after he had once looked at you. The man was aged, like some gnarled tree stump. His face bore the marks of the ravages of time, of & life of rough toil upon the sea, of sorrow within, of coarse food and was darkened as if blasted by lightning. His muscles stood out on his shaggy hands: he had a vig- orous constitution. In a corner of his cavern was a heap of moss on which ne slept.

Never would you see a face more awe- inspiring. more grand and terrible in re- pentance than this. Even in the con- fessional, perhaps, there was never a penitence so grand.

His sto was for the most part unknown become a legend. But il you were per- sistent you might find a peasant who knew the truth. It was like this But if you were persistent you might tind a peasant who know the truth. It was like this. His name was Cambremer. He had a son who was dearer than life to him — mother and father both idolized the boy. They would have done anything for him, sacrificed everything, to make him happy. The son was spoiled— he came o believe that since his parents endeared him so much, no matter what | he did, it would be all right with them ‘The son went from bad to Wwors From petty vices and small gambling he was lured into larger vices aad greater losses, ‘Time after time his poor old father, who earned a precarious living as A sallor and fisherman, got him out of some scrape. Time after time he was forgiven—with the cons quence that he became more than ever sure that he could do anything. and be helped out, and be again forgiven. Cambremer had even owned his house and furniture, but it was all lost be- | cause of this spolled and ungrateful son At last the mother had a gold doubloon. | | which she wished to give to a niece, so | she sewed it into her mattress and marked the girl's name on it. | The rascally son learned about that | {1one gold piece and stole it.

Cambremer went to find his son. He was playing billiards. He obtained the goldpiece {rom the cashier, where the son had spent it. It was undoubtedly the one which had been sewed in the mattress, for it had a scratch on it Cambremer took his son back lome with him, and sat_with a loaded gun across his knees. Cambremer said that if his son lied he would shoot him dead right there. But the son denied that he had stolen the goldpicce. He would not. confess to that tty crime. And his mother begged the father to have mercy. The father sald the coin was marked like the one that Lad been in the i tress. The son paled at this. His father commanded him to say his prayers. and sent for a priest that he might conf But the son was shrewd—he though that his father would not kill him until he had confessed, so he would not talk to the priest The priest was dismissed. The son went to bed, and. confident that it woula be all right with his father in the morning, went to sleep. But his father watched him, brooding, thinking ver: hard.

They were on th sea—the father rowed out to deep watcr, while the mother watched from the ghore. Cambremer tossed his son into the ocean, which forgets everything and tells no tales, The mother died soon afterward of grief. The father lived for a time al the hut. but he became queer. He burned the boat in which he had taie his son to his death. He disappea for 10 days, and when he came back he |took up his vigil and penance there among the rocks. The Man Wilh a Vow.

CRAIG. August 28, 1862.—Information received at military headquarters here today disclosed the source of the cannonading which was heard nearly all day yes- terday by persons on the Virginia side of the river and reported by many who came across to this city. An engage- ment was being fought between Scan- lon’s brigade of Gen. Cox's division of | the Union Army under Gen. Pope and a | force of Confederates at Bull Run, near | the place where the big battie of last | Summer was fought. The contest was for the possession of a railroad bridge 1t is understood that the Confederates retained possession of the bridge at nightfall, but hope was expressed in | military ‘circles here that Scanlon has succeeded today in dislodging them. | Losses in the fighting thus far havi | been heavy on both sides, reports indi- cate. The main engagement of yesterday, | however, was that of Gen. Hooker's division ‘with a large Confederate force at Bristow Station. Early dispatches indicate that Hooker has driven the Confederates back slowly toward Ma- nassas Junction. Apparently, however, the Confederate Army is in a position from which it can advance toward Washington. | The fortifications around Washington | are so garrisoned, equipped and pre- | pared as to enable them successfully to | withstand any attack which the Con- might be able to make at this time, according to the military authoritics. War Department officials are of the opinion that the Confederates mtend either to put Bull Run between | |them and the Union Army and then |0 assail the fortifications of Washing- | ton or else to attempt to cross over the | Potomac northwest of Washington into | Maryland, marching probably by way of Leesburg, Va. It is expected that | the next 24 hours will disclose their real purpose. The postmaster at Fairfax Court | House arrived hurriedly in this city at packed up his goods and the malils and | left there last evening in apprehension of a Confederate raid upon that point. | No ground for such apprehension could | be found here today, but the postmas- | ter said that as he was fleeing he looked | back and saw a bright light in the direction of Fairfax Court House, which might have come from buildings fired | by the Confederates.

It is not wise to praise a child for being too still. A child loves praise and he will do almost anything to win it. Keeping still is not the best way to make growth and it is the business of a child’s life to grow. A certain amount of noise and confusion always ac- companies his growth and it is the part of wisdom t6 provide for that. | The activity and noise of a child an- noys the adults and to secure peace they threaten or bribe. according to the nature of the parties, to gain quiet “Jacob, if you sit still, without say- | ing a word, until the clock strikes, I'll give you a quarter.” Jacob sat still and kept silence for the hour. He got his quarter and put it in the bank. It was not long before another member of the family pur- chased an hour's quiet at a high rate. Before the end of his fifth year the small boy had a perfect gift for sil- ence. He was silent and nobody had to pay him for it, either. He was so still, so silent that his mother took him | to a doctor to see what was the mat- | ter. “Let him run and play more.” “But he won't run and play.” “Oh, but he must.” said the doctor with conclusive emphasis. But he couldn't. The inward self | had taken on the task of quiet and | inaction. The inquiring mind had been lulled to sleep. The growth of the child had been retarded and it took several years of intensive training to bring the child back to the normal noise and activity of childhood | There must be regard for the rights amily. A tired worker must have rest and peace within his house. But there is no reason why it should be purchased at the expense of the child’'s growth. | The waking day is long. There is a part of it for meals, a part for play. | for work, for rest, for leisure. ‘The | schedule ought to be so arranged as to | insure activity for the child and repose | for the adult. A good administrator can manage that with ease. It is not good for the manners and the morals of children to have them think it is quite the thing to make themselves heard and felt in season and out.
