WOoOM AN’S PAGE. When Going to Summer Home BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The exodus to Summer cottages comes chiefly at this season of the year,, when schools and colleges are closed.

It may be that some mnearby relative can come in for & few moments each day and sée that the bed is made and that the occupied rooms are tidied up.

Occasionally a family going away is 8o fortunate as to be able to make such an arrangement. It should always be at the owner’s risk, as it would be in one’s own home. To relieve every one from responsibility and care, put the solid silver and precious jewelry in a bank. The cost is very little. One’s valuables are worth the outlay. The Biliy Owls Are Discreet. In what vou do and what vou eat Be wise enough to be discreet —Billy owl. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Owl had fitted themselves into the life of Prairie-dog Town without any trouble with their neighbors. To be sure, their nearest neighbors had resented their coming and fcr a day or two had barked a whole lot of unkind things at them whenever they appeared. Two or three of the oldest and bravest had even made threats in the hope of driving them away. . 't notice them,” said Billy Owl “Just don't pay any attention to them. They’ll get over it in a few days and forget all about us.” ARRANGE TO HAVE THE ROOMS UP AT LEAST ONCE HAS TO REMAIN AT HOME. about returning. But just now we are interested in departures. It is no small job to leave a home, whether it is a house or an apart- ment, in such good order that the re- turn to it will be free from exhausting tasks. This is especlally true when THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Another snappy sports dress that Paris designed for youth. And to make it is just as simple as falling off a log!

Now you can't pick a | quarrel with people who mind their | business and refuse to even see you, so | it wasn't long befors the Billy Owls | were left severely alone. They seemed | harmless enough. They were quiet and | interfered with no one. | diate neighbors became accustomed to seeing them sitting on their doorstep and went about their own affairs just as 1f that house was still deserted. “We must be discreet,” said Billy Owl. | “We won't do any hunting right around home. I notice that every mornln’ a lot of half-grown youngsters are playing Bbout in the neighborhood. They are tempting, very tempting, but we must leave them alone. When we want one for dinner we'll catch one in another part of the town. ‘‘You are quite right, my dear, as you always are,” replied Mrs. Billy. “It won't be long now before some of these My Neighbor Says: If you add flour to your blue- berry pies, shake in a little salt with the flour. It will improve the flavor, as blueberries are nat- urally flat in taste. Make a funnel out of a piece of wrapping paper for pouring sugar, tea, coffee and cereals into their proper receptacles. These funnels prevent waste. When preparing parsley for garnishing, chop it very fine, screw it up in the corner of a clean cloth, hold it for a few sec- onds under the cold water faucet and squeeze it as tightly as pos- sible. Then shake it out of the cloth and it will fall like a green powder. Unless it is done in this way, the parsley will gather in little lumps.

Once in & while they would leave early and vary their bill of fare by catching some Ground Squirrels, which were numerous on the prairie and made excellent eating. v It got so that the half-grown Prairie- | dogs around their home paid no atten- tion to them. The little brown Owis were such innocent looking little people that though the older and wiser neigh- bors warned the youngsters not to trust them this advice was seldom heeded. There came a time when stories of the disappearance of certain young Prairie-dogs who had been overventure- some were told, but these disappear- ances always happened in parts of the m dht:nt from where u'; B!

Quite the contrary. Recently compiled statistics show that in England only 12 per cent of the women who take up medical work get married, while in this country the women who achieve high academic honors remain unmarried to the extent of 80 per cent. So, the more a woman is entitled to write M. A. after her name the less likely she is to be called Ma. And every woman, no matter what else she attains, finds life cinders, ashes and dust unless it gives her love and husband and children. IT is folly to deny that men do not care for very highly educated women. They may not want Dumb Doras for wives, but assuredly they do not desire wives who know more than they do, and inasmuch as the great majority of American men go to work as soon as they finish high school and thereafter read little except the stock market®and the tnm&lc !tflpl.hil l:hi:levitlhll that they should prefer girls to whom they are oracles rather than those who look down u - Sellectus] helghts, ipon them from the in Nor does a college education fit a girl for being a wife and mother as well as the practical experience she would get at home or in business, She may have majored in chemistry, but that won't enable her to make bread that is light and fluffy.

More- over, the fact that she is highly educated is apt to make her discontented with domestic life and cause her to feel that she is wasting her time in washing baby bottles and cooking dinner for a mere husband.
