The amount of meat can be reduced, which in Winter is more needed for its stimulating quality. The increase in number of fresh vegetables and the ad- dition of fruits not easily available in Child Is Father to Man. You may remember that oft-quoted line from a famous poem, “The child is father to the man.” It is a para- dox worth reflection. Without shifting responsibility too much, it reminds us that folks who grow up 1gnorant of how to handle money either had no money to handle in youth or were not trained to handle it properly. Your child’s allowance is not only a fund for buying candy .or going on picnics or buying trinkets, It is part of your investment in his education as well. We sometimes hear of little boys being given allowances to the exclusion of their sisters. This we believe to be wrong. There are one-third more widows than wodowers in this country, and none more than a widow needs to know how to handle money. Many & parent who would not dare place his or her child at the wheel of a car to drive be- fore giving lessons, will die and leave money to his or her children when they attain the age of 21.

A Pleasant Feature. ‘The homemaker can add zest to a menu by making each now vegetable or variety of fruit served an especial fea- ture of the meal. This may be, either in the nature of a surprise for’ which the minds of the family have been pre- pared or it may be mentioned that such and such a dish of vegetable or fruit is planned for the meal, thereby making a bit of pleasant suspense or anticipation precede the meal. Fresh rhubarb sauce with a roast of veal or fresh rhubarb pie with a lattice crust through which the succulent veg- etable is glimpsed has a tempting sound. Strawberries, red and tasty, served with whipped cream and home- made sponge cake, supplies a dessert or supper dish to appeal to the epicure. Fresh asparagus on toast with butter or with a cream sauce made with rich milk s hearty enough for the main dish for a light luncheon or supper dish. A slice of cold meat on the side gives a heartier menu. From the time when new potatoes begin to appear as a native vegetable to the time when the last of the Fall fruits and vegetables appear there can be a succession of table delicacies, fresh and delicious, to give menus an appe- tizing appeal. While these foods are in | season is the time when they suit con- | stitutions best, for nature suggests that they be served then, and she is the wisest guide. Moreover, foods are their very best, most luscious and full flavored when they are in season. So, both for health ,and for the advantage of get- ting foods at their best let them have places on menus while native ones are available with all the delicacy or zest of freshness.

They might as well be expected to pilot an airplane. Ex- perience is an enoromus factor in spending money, and children should be given a chance to acquire it. How can spending pennies and nickels qualify a child to spend sizable amounts? Because in spending those pennies and nickels, later quarters and dollars, a child is taught the principles of spending, thrift and saving. Once learried, these principles may be ap- plied to sums of any amount. Our problem with regard to the child and his allowance would seem clearer if we would remember we are training the man as well as the boy, the wom- an as well as the girl. At what age should an allowance begin is another question? Usually when a child begins to attend school, he is old enough to learn the rudiments of money, too. However, mothers can best decide when. We frequently remember, when our children are grown, traits that were first manifsted in their childhood. Spending is not unlike these personal traits. As a child spends, and saves, so will the man or woman spend or save. Skill acquired, judgment de- veloped, thrift inspired are well worth the pennies of childhood. Watch the Children! THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1929;' 4 Delicious Foods for Warm Season DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX ! JABBY JEAR MISS DIX: I left my husband five months ago. It was the fourth time I had done 50, and for no other reason except just a foolish argument. Each time I just put on my hat and walked out and went to some of my relatives. My husband is a good man who gives me all of his salary. He loves me and is willing to take me back, but I am ashamed to return to that neighborhood and ashamed to let my people know I want to go back to him, because in order to Justify myself I have lied about the way my husband treated me. 3 Now I am with a brother, but he-will not be willing to support me and my 8-year-old son much longer, and I am untrained and have no way to make a living for us. Just what would you do? . J. MAC Q. Answer: Well, Mrs. Mac Q., my earnest advice to you is to go back to husband and eat humble pie while there is still a chance to do it and hence- forward to try to conduct yourself like an intelligent, grown-up woman, instead of a petulant, spoiled baby. Doubtless you think you make a fine gesture of independence when you slam the door behind you and walk out on your husband whenever you have a disagreement with him, but in reality you only proclaim yourself a quitter and show how little appreciation you have of the binding nature of a contract and the seriousness of the obligations of a wife and mother. According to your own showing you have not really tried to make a go of your m:rflnzg You not only have not attempted to keep your home together, you have done your best to wreck it. You have exercised no self-restraint. You have never controlled your temper. On the contrary, as soon as you encountered the slightest difficulty and you couldn’t have your own way in everything, even to the last say in an argument, you scrapped all the vows you took at the altar and ran away from such a minor unpleasantness as a family spat. A pretty poor sport you are. Doesn't it make you feel ashamed of yourself when you look about you and see the women who have had the courage and the steadfastness to endure marriages that were earthly purgatories for the sake of their children and because their own self-respect would not permit them to force other people to pay for the mistake they made in marriage? I often wonder that the ladies who rush so gayly and with so little provoca- tion to the divorce courts never stop to consider how unfair they are to their unfortunate families. For when Mary decides that she has lost her taste for her husband or becomes green-eyed over her husband’s having a pretty stenographer and picks up her children and goes back home, it is her relatives who have to pay the bill for her matrimonial grievances. She and her children have to be supported, and it comes pretty hard on those who have about all they can do to take care of themselves in these times of the high cost of living. All of us know fathers and mothers whose old age is deprived of every comfort and made hard and poverty-stricken because their pittance of an income has to be divided with a divorced daughter and her youngsters. All of us know brothers and sisters whose own families have been almost wrecked by having a divorced sister and her brood foisted upon them. “Fuzz tries awful hard to reduce, but you know some women are such poor losers.” (Copyright, 1929.) i g Baked Bluefish. Clean and scale a bluefish. Slit open and remove as much of the backbone as possible without dividing the fish.

For, after all, it isn't their fault that she doesn't get along with her husband. Think this over, Mrs. Mac Q. Realize how unwelcome you are at your brother’s and in your other relatives’ houses and perhaps it will make you decide that it is better to be mistress in your own house than a forced guest in some- body else’s house. 5 Bl A DOROTHY DIX.

For the world is full of girls of every variety and description—tall ones and short ones, demure ones and bold ones, plump ones and slim ones, morons and highbrows, chatterboxes and Dumb Doras, brunettes and blondes, and they all have the come-hither-lock in the eyes for any personable man, and they don't have to be shanghaled in order to get them to a dance or into a restaurant or to take a joyride.

PARIS (#).—The Prederick Chopin transfer the remains of the great com- poser to the Wawel of Cracow, the pan-~ theon of Poland. Chopin was born in er attaining his majority. A girl to be popular with boys has to be good-looking and well dressed and peppy and carry & winning line of jolly and know how to dance, but girls aren’t so particular about boys, and almost any youth can be & riot with them if he is fairly pleasing in personal appearance and néat and if he doesn't step on their feet when he dances and if he is willing to spend a little money on them. Usually when a boy isn't popular with girls it is for one of three reasons. It may be because he is so conceited that he bores them to death talking about himself. Girls are pretty patient about that and will stand a lot of hearing about how great and wonderful a fellow thinks he is and what a marvelous car he has and how people tell him he looks just like Valentino and so on and on. But after a while this monologuing about himself gets on a girl's nerves and she decldes that having to listen to-it for a couple of hours on a stretch is too high & price to pay for being taken to the movies, The second thing that queers a boy with a girl is for him to patronise her act as if he thought she should be down on her knees in gratitude to him for noticing her and condescending to take her out. Girls loathe this grand sheik pose, and a little of it goes & long way with them. Also, it makes a girl mad through and through for a man aiways to be gibing at her sex and making her feel that he considers every woman a fool. The third thing that makes a boy persona non grats with girls is for him to be a tightwad. This is the case with girls who are not gold-diggers either. 1t is just that all girls feel that & man should be willing to pay something for the pleasure of their company, and they just nat despise -the chap who shows up regularly around mealtime and eats mother’s good and then thinks it is so much pleasanter to sit in the parior and listen to the radio than | i it is to go out and burn up a few gallons of gasoline or to go to the theater.
