Taking Child To ChurchIs Best Solution| Youth Needs Religion, but Parents Should Co-operate. BY ANGELO PATRI. REN'T you going to send that boy to Sunday school, Mary?” “I did, but he doesn't want to go and I don’t want to force him. If I did that he might get to dislike the idea altogether.” “I think he ought to be made to £0. My mother made us go to Sunday school whether we liked it or not.” “Yes, and now what? How long is it since you went to church?” “I'm a grown man. He is a child. I had my religious education and it means something to me even if I don't 80 to church.” “Well, Dick doesn’t know that. way, he hates it.” “You make him go. Tell him he has to go. That's all there is to it.” Unfortunately that is not all there 15 to it. One may take a small boy and set him firmly on the chair in the Sunday school class room. One can force him to sit there. His body is controlled by force. That at least assures his presence. But the child is still in control of his mind, and as that is the part of him that you want Any 1o reach you have to go a bit farther | along the way with him. Granted that many Sunday schools are dreary wastes as far as the chil- dren are concerned. Accept the worst. ‘The fact that the children need and must have religious instruction re- mains. The Sunday school must function in their lives. It is the first stage on the way to church, the nsti- tution that is to foster and maintain the spiritual life of the community. It is not enough for a parent to say that the church fails to do so, that it fails to hold the young people, that it fails to battle successfully for the rights of men on earth as in heaven. The church is a human organization and depends upon the intelligence of its members for its health and vitality. Staying home, withdrawing from its activities in critical mood is doing less than duty demands. ‘Two facts stand out in this situation. Children need spiritual stimulation toward a good life. Parents must do the greater part of the stimulating through their daily example. Sending the children to church and Sunday school while staying at home yourself Goes not work. Children obey the force of the attitudes of those about them, not their commands. Physical obedience is useless for the growth of spiritual attitudes. Say what you will in your heart, you know that unless these spiritual attitudes are stimu- lated, fed, encouraged to full flower the life of the individual is blighted. You would not toss out the Golden Rule. You would not discard the ‘Ten Commandments. You dare not forget the law about loving your neigh- bor as yourself. How are the children to gather such ideas? They are not born with them in full development. It takes years of teaching and example to instill them to the degree where they take hold and grow into fixed behavior. Everybody agrees that children must have standards of living. Reverence for all that is good and true and lovely is as essential to human life and human happiness on this earth as food and shelter. Then let us set to work to enrich the children’s lives with these qualities of the spirit. Don’t send them to Sunday school and church. Take them. There is all the difference in the world between those two ideas. One will succeed be- yond your expectations. The other will fail, (Copyright. 1035.)

Useful and Pretty Dress Very Simple to Make. BY BARBARA BELL. HE “little” frock is a term of endearment that has become attached to those dresses which are so casual in appearance, so simple in construction that some spe- cial term is needed to express their mission in life. It is the sort of dress that fits into those chinks and crevices in a wardrobe, between the more formal daytime dresses and the cos- tumes that are designed for after 5 o'clock. It is indispensable and, be- cause of its extreme simplicity and disarming youthfulness, is the kind of frock that smart women love to wear. Made in just four pieces, today’s pat- tern is the easiest thing in the world to put together. Anybody could make it in an hour, or two, we think, and the time, and effort, and cost is no indication of its chic. The dress is & one-piece affair, darted at the waist to make it fit perfectly. There are pleats at the sides of the skirt for full- ness and there are no armholes to fuss with, just abbreviated little raglan sleeves that defy you to make them seem intricate. A round collar fin- ishes the neck, which is slit for a way down the front of the blouse. And that is all there is to it. Cottons, of course, are best for the frock illustrated. Blue chambray, the same material that men’s shirts are made of, in the same color, is much seen in the shops. Wear a tie and belt of dark blue dotted in white and BARBARA BELL, ‘Washington Star.

HOPPING around the food stores the other day I found many things that should prove of help to the hurried cook and to the kitchenette housekeeper. These included all sorts of “quick snack” tricks, which may be accom- plished with little time and effort. First and fore- most, 1 met the wonderful frost- ed foods, which include in their scope fiuits, veg- etables, sea food, poultry and meats. T was told that, recently, a revolution- ary method of “sealing in” the fresh whole- someness of cer- tain foods had been discovered. In- tense cold was applied in a particular way to the foods which did not change the texture or value in the slightest. All the kitchenette cook has to do is let them defrost accord- Betsy Caswell. |ing to the directions that come with each purchase—and a delicious and wholesome dish is the result Reposing in special refrigerators in one of the larger shops 1 saw oysters, golden bantam corn, fillets of fish, sirloin steaks—all arrested in devel- opment at the peak of their career, as it were, waiting for the magic wand of the cook to bring them to renewed and vigorous life, * % Xx X% THEN for breakfast in a hurry, and for fced coffee with no heat and bubbling percolator, there is the new coffee essence that comes in amusing Iittle containers, just enough for one cup or glass. This is also wonderful for motor trips, picnics, etc., and may be used in making desserts where cof- fee flavoring is indicated. A new seasoning appears which is a blend of fine herbs and spices. When it is used, no other salt or season- ing is required. This should prove helpful to the cook who has little space at her command for a lengthy array of spices and condiments with which to bring her dishes to per- fection. It may season soups, meats or poultry, gravies, seafood dishes, croquettes, macaroni, and so on. For your more festive occasions s wealth of variety awaits your choice. Tiny liverwurst sausages, suitable for cocktails, served either cold or grilled on toothpicks, come in tins, all ready for use. There is also a liverwurst | pate, which may be used for cold suppers, thinly sliced or mixed with soft butter or mayonnaise, to make & creamy canape or sandwich spread. Sunday night supper may easily become a deliclous feast, with little trouble for the hostess. In cans may be found & number of tender, savory frankfurters, nestled in a bed of juicy sauerkraut. All the cook has to do s to separate the “dogs,” grill slightly and arrange them in a circle about the sauerkraut heaped on a platter. With plenty of rye bread and cheese and your preference in liquid refresh- ment—what more could you ask? * X X ¥ AND last, but by no means least, there is the wonderful new soup As a extract that comes in a tube. CCORDING to statistics near- ly half of the divorces are se- cured during the first five years of married life. This A would seem to put a somewhat sar- donic crimp in love’s young dream and to indicate that it is not made of the stuff that stands the wear and tear of domestic life. Considering that the great majority of men and women marry because they feel that existence without each other would be dust and ashes, it is surprising that so many find within so short a time that life with each other is impossible. The setting of the honeymoon is too sudden. The disillusionment too quick. 1If in the course of years and years of marriage a husband and wife got fed up on each other, it would not be surprising. If the inevitable friction of matrimony wore some of the gilt off the gingerhread, we could under- stand it. But for two turtledoves to be metamorphosed in the short space of five years into fighting cocks peck- ing each other’s eyes out is a trans- formation so hideous that it shocks us. * ok ko Yl'r. after all, it is not difficult to see why the first five years of marriage are the most dangerous. They are dangerous for the same rea- son that all beginnings are dangerous. Because those undertaking them are amateurs who lack experience and skill and technique; who are so igno- rant that they do not even know what dangers they are due to encounter, much less how to avoid them. Although boys and girls have ob- served marriage as a working institu- tion ever since they were born and have seen that it functioned none too smoothly and successfully; although they have assisted, in the French sense, at the daily spats of their par- ents, they are still convinced that their marriages will be entirely differ- ent. Their marriages will always be glamorous and they will always be ro- mantically in love with each other. They will always see each other as godlings. They will never squabble over bills. All will be peace and beauty. On the romantic platform they marry, and it gives way under them. And in their youth and inexperience in far too many cases they proceed to to patch up the weak places.

At one of the embassies, at dinner, the hostess told us of the wonderful new discovery which she had made when confronted with an unexpectedly large bridge party to whom she had to serve a late supper. In some way a tube of the extract had found its way into her kitchen, and the chet proceeded to try it out. The result was delightful—all the guests waxing most enthusiastic about the delicious bouillon. Since then the ex- tract has become an indispensable part of the embassy’s food stock. The extract comes in an average sized tube and also in a larger, jar-shaped contalner and 15 simplicity itself to prepare. I am told that this particular beef extract comes from South America and is made from fresh beef with the fat removed. In addition to the beef, the soup contains salt, vegetable ex- tract, powdered white pepper and a little onion. All the cook need do is add boiling water, and presto!— “soup’s on!” Many other things may be made froi this boulllon, using it in the snme way as one would any con- centrated beef stock.

BY MARGARET WARNER. OR Midsummer in town it is often the smaller accessories of dress that catch the eye and interest us, as well as give & fresh touch to a frock no longer new. This is particularly true of those | delightful creations that are always appearing in the neckwear depart- ment,_ where a square of colored chif- fon with matching felt hat imme- diately suggests a way to look differ- ent at small expense. Here we find assembled many fascinating ideas among which a very clever one is a little jacket in your favorite pastel crepe, covered with tiny pin dots, with a round collar and bow, and short, pleated sleeves. This 1s ensembled with a white crepe hat, Breton type, faced and banded with matching dotted crepe. The jacket has pockets and a back yoke, and the two pieces will completely change a plain white frock. There are also squares of the pin-dotted crepe which may be worn with the same hat in- stead of the jacket, if preferred. *x % x Tfl! ‘Windsor tie lu enjoying quite & popularity at the moment, and comes in white with various colored polka dots, and also in colors dotted in white.

This comes in several variations and is found with the blousettes in the neckware aisle, and not in the regular blouse department. Cotton lace blousettes in white are cool and comfortable, and good to wear with linen suits. * x ok x it comes to the question of gloves, you must admit that mesh is quite the coolest thing, and when this mesh is hand crocheted in Austria by women who have been noted for their handwork for centuries, you will add both besuty and interest to your nends.

The glove with Irish lace pointed cuff is particularly lovely and may grace your smartest afternoon frocks. These gloves are conspicuously distinctive on the hand, and furthermore they wear wonderfully well and launder easily.

BY EDITH M. BARBER. COURSE all the year around is chicken season, but July brings a plentiful supply of broilers. And what is better than a well cooked broiler or | more disappointing than to find one badly prepared? 1 know several otherwise goog cooks \ who insist upon cooking broilers first | in a little water beforq frying or| broiling them, which is of course in- excusable as the flesh is so tender that it needs only a short time in touch with the fire. Perhaps you will say that broilers | are so often raw inside. This will not be the case if after rubbing your broilers with fat you broil your chick- ens about 2 inches below your flame | with the door open while you cook the | flesh side. Then turn and put the broiling pan about 6 inches below the heat. They will take 20 to 25 minutes | to cook. I am particularly fond of oven-cooked broilers, which need no attention after they have started to cook, except for an occasional basting. OVEN-COOKED BROILERS. Arrange broilers which have been quartered in a baking pan with the skin side up. Dot liberally with but- ter, cover with sliced onions. Cook un- covered in a hot oven (450 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes. Lower temperature and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Baste occasionally. SMOTHERED CHICKEN. Have broilers cut into pieces for serving. Roll in flour. Brown in fat. | Place the pleces of brown chicken in a casserole. Rinse the frying pan with one cup of water, pour water over chicken; add one cup of cream and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 45 minutes. Serve from casserole.
