IDEAL IN" HOUSEKEEPING.
Many of the Old Ctuatoms and Con
dition* Are Pas«hnK Entire
ly Away.
A generation ago to be an ideh^ house
keeper was the chief ambition of Svost
every woman. No girl desired a
fate than to be placed' at the head of k
household with a good and loving hus
band to supply all her wants and make
her the mistress and the queen of his
heart and his home. In most cases, says
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in theart under the tuition
of her mother. Sheloved to decorate and
beautify the house which was to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
grimage. She loved to create delicacies
for her husband and her children, and,
disguise It as we may, much of the af
fection she received was due entirely to
her skill as a homemaker. When her
children grew up around her this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry
were the chief attractions in their world.
As they gre w older the ties only grew the
stronger. When they acquired families
of their own the old homestead, with
its abundance of good things, still had
attractions for them. The kind old
mother was still their best friend. She
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy were
worth more to them than gold. The
grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she finally went away from the home
circle she left a vacancy which could
never ue iinea.
But we are assured with every symp
tom of rejoicing that these conditions
are passing; that women have been
emancipated; that in the future they are
to be the rival, instead of the helpmate,
of man, and that they must combine to
I enforce their just demands against the
hostility of the male sex. This is non
sense pure and simple. It may be true
that there are more mannish women in
this generation than there were in the
last. It is unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female popula
tion has been forced to be self-support
ing, but, it is not true that women enjoy
the so-called “liberty” which goes with
tolling for a living.
The home Instinct Is too deeply
planted in the heart of women to be re
moved by the effects of a generation of
club work. It will never be removed. A
few women may go after strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still
find her highest ideal of happiness in
a good husband and a cozy home. The
clubs may succeed in making such homes
impossible to a few men and women by
making the young women feel that they
have a more important work In the
world than the prosaic duty of home
making, but among the masses of the
American people the mother will con
tinue to be the bond which unites the
unities of that holy institution the fam
; Hy, and she will continue in this exalted
role until the jnd of all things.
WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK.
j She Was Happy and Yet There Wai
an Awful Possibility Op
pressing Her.
“Darling,” he said, as he placed his
arm around her waist and drew her ten
derly to his breast, relates the New York
Times, “why those pearly tears? Is the
home that I have brobght you to less
i magnificent than you expected?”
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed. "It is g-grand
er than I dared to h-hope."
“Have you found since our marriage
that I am less exalted than you had sup
posed me to be?”
“Oh, F-Fred, you are a th-thousand
times more exalt-t-ted than I thougBt
you to b-be.”
Stooping down he kissed away two
large tears that were trembling upon her
long, graceful lashes, and asked:
“Has it grieved you to be taken from
your parents and the scenes of your
childhood, little one.”
“No, no, dear-dearest,” she replied.
1 “I would g-gladly go anywhere w-with
you.”
“Great heavens!” he cried, in wild
alarm. “Perhaps you are ill. Tell me,
is it so, sweetheart?”
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst
of tears, “it is not that.”
A look of deep perplexity overspread
his handsome visage, and, pushing her
back so that he could look down into
her big, beautiful, fear-dimmed eyes, he
asked:
“Then, what in the dickens is the
trouble?”
“I was j-just think-thinking,” she re
turned, “how miserable I should be if
you were to die and I w-were to marry
s-some one who wouldn’t appreciate aU
this magnificence.”
Mock Terrapin In Chafing; Dlnh.
Take the dark meat of a chicken
cooked the day previous and half a
pound of calf’s liver; put together in
the chafing-dish, add two cloves of
garlic, one small onion sliced, two
stalks of celery; cover with boiling
water and cook 20 minutes. Take
out and cut into dice. Cleanse the
cbaflng-dish and put in a quarter of a
pound of butter; while the butter is
melting, take the yolks of two hard
boiled eggs, mash to a smooth paste,
adding gradually a cup of cream. Add
a tablespoon of flour to the butter, mix
and add the cream and eggs, stir con
stantly until it reaches the boiling
point, then add meat, a teaspoon of
salt, a dash of cayenne and just a sus
picion of mace. Serve hot on rounds
of buttered toast—Ladies’ Home Jour
nal.
In Cooking Apples.
When only russet apples are to bs
had, a favorite way we cook them
is to pare, quarter and bake them in
the bean pot all day. Add a little su
gar and plenty of water. When cold
| it looks and tastes like cider applt
