One of the most worthy tributes to

their voices; the laughter of streams,

our love of loveliness, of delicacy, of
sweetness, of gentleness, make for us
vague dreams of woman."

J Mississippi's Secession
Mississippi, In state convention,

South Carolina, which wus the first

er who would not be beautiful? Could
you think of a woman with a baby
cuddled In her arms, even though that
mother came from the slums and wore
the habiliments of direst poverty, as
being other than a supreme expres
sion of beauty?
Madame de Rtael, one of the most
brilliant women France ever produced,
was noticeably unattractive In face
and figure, but of her It was said "She
talks herself Into a beauty."
Cultivate your beauty of mind and
thought. Spend more for books than
for rouge and lip sticks. Re sure that
no outward comeliness can atone for
an evident lack of Intelligence. Peo
ple will remember what you snld and
how you said it long after they have
forgotten how you looked and what
you wore.'
If you are a woman keep In mind
always that you are In reality the
'most beautiful of Cod's creations and
live up to the reputation.

It is appealing to the eye as well u
to the palate. Tho garnish, In other
words, Is as much n matter of good
digestion as of style.
The garnish should be edible as well
as pretty, whenever possible, and most
garnishes, with the exception of the
frilled paper tips placed on chops and
crowu roasts, are good to eat.
Asparagus Mousse.
Cook one bunc'h of finely cut as
rwrugus with some of the three-Inch
tips removed, nnd cook separately one
cupful of medium white sauce, one
tablespoonful of gelatin, one eighth
teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, one
fourth teuspoonful of paprika, one

French dressing. Serve with mayon

If made In hot weather or molded In a

Chestnuts and Ham.
Alternate thinly sliced cooked ham
and mashed chestnuts In a baking
dish, season with sage or marjoram
nnd bits of butter. Finish with the
chestnuts on top. Bake until brown.
Mashed chestnuts as a vegetable
are delicious; serve with sausage.
Chestnuts with apples make a good

be either cooked or simply blanched

ORIGIN OF "BLOCKHEAD"
By JEAN NEWTON
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
FOR the origin of this word which Is
used constantly to describe some
one who appears to us to be extreme
ly stupid, one whom we want to call
a dunce, we must go merely to our old
friend Shakespeare. It Is In his "Co
riolanus" that he coined the word as
follows :
"Your wit will not so soon out as
another man's will; It Is strongly
wedged up In a blockhead."
The reference made by the word
was to the then familiar dummy beads
which stood In the show windows of
the wig makers of the day. Like the
faces of the was figures which are oc
casionally seen in modern show win
dows, their expression was blank and
lifeless. Another contemporary refer
ence to them Is found as follows:
"As stupid as the face of a wig
maker's stand."

I Asking Sons
4
By Douglas Malloch
AGE Is always asking youth,
Asking favors, that's the truth.
What, you ask, does age desire?
If you'd know, then ask a sire.
There are favors, certain ones,
Sires ore always asking sons.
Sires are asking sons to play
In a clean and decent way.
Seeking pleasures, but the kind
That will leave them pure of mind.
Brave of heart, and strong of will.
Purer, braver, stronger still.
Sires are asking sons to spend
Time, before the time shall end.
For their hours of study, too.
Doing what they need to do
That their future may be made
Fruitful wltb some honest trade.
SIrea will labor, sires provide.
Sires will walk that sons may ride.
Asking, as each father delves.
Sons they help to help themselves.
These the favors, this the task;
Does It seem so much to ask?
