THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

PUBLIC LIFE WILL NOT HARM WOMEN.

[BY EDITH SHACKLETON.]

I cannot imagine why Lord Mal mesbury thinks that public life will harder women.

It has not yet hardened men..

Moreover, there are hard women aiready. There were hard women before women had the vote, before Married Women's Property Act was passed, before it was common for women to learn even to read and write.

Better Opportunity At Home. If a woman is of the sort to harden she has better opportunities for hardened in the domestic circle, where, in her limited orbit, she holds full sway, than any committee or in any civil or basi aess chair.

The woman at home can be ab solute monarch. The woman on the town council or the board of direct tors has to listen to reason, and the woman M.P. has to gain the Buf frages of her constituency, to please her electors, and explain berielf to them...

The woman at home, when her children or servants ask for a reason for any hard command, can say, Because I say so "--and leare it triumphantly at that.

As Hard As She Likes. All over the world thrones, are falling, absolute monarchy is in dis- repute, industralism is being freed from tyranny. It is only in the seclusion of the homes which Lord Malmesbury appears to imagine can only be inhabited by tender-hearted, sympathetic women that supreme dictatorship is still in fall working ordet. Only at home can a woman grow as hard as she likes without being pulled up by associates or workmates,

· Desirable In Women.

A certain degree of hardness is surely desirabe in women, whether they are in public life or not. If Lord Malmesbury ever has to have abandage adjusted over a painful!

BEADED BODICE.

An unusual note is struck in this dance frock designed for d young girl. The bodice is close- ly beaded while the full fared skirt is left plain so as to give a pretty futtering movement when dancing.

ERMINE ON HATS.

A hat of black panne velvet has an original decoration in the form of an ermice's head, worked in the natural fur and finished with block beady eyes. To accompany this model there is a scarf, also of panne velvet with similar heads and ermino tails at either end.

POCHETTE.

wound he will be very thankful for the hardness of the nurse who can perform the feat with much less dis tress to himself than any fainting. sentimentalist could.

I do not know if Lord Malmes- bury thinks that somebody should be waiting with a bouquet for every woman who asks to be excused from from a jury if a case is particularly unpleasant, instead of with the grown-up equivalents of the "Cry- baby! and Cowardy-custard!?' which shirking of any kind gets in healthy nurseries:

Bofiness Not Due To Home Life, Softness is not necessarily gen erated by domestic life any more than are countless feminine refine- ments. know one woman who has lived in the secluded sovereignty of a house of her own for fifty years, and yet remains without any of those feminine traits which are sup. posed to be home-bred.

I also know pioneer women in 'professions who contrieve to keep about them all the femininition in the way of flowers and ribbons and perfumes, and are unfailing caree- sing in their manner to all their friends. Softness is not inevitably. made at home, like cowalip wine and crochet mats.

Public Private · Life. Lord Malmesbury is anxious that women should not begin to think their public life more important than their work at home. If he means that a woman guardian should hasten through, say, an ap- plication for out-relief from widow with three children lost her child's hair should not be curled. or the flowers not be arranged for her own bridge party, I disagree with him violently.

And if abs did. I should say that it was she who was hard, not some other guardian who might patiently consider the case even though there were stockings to darn" at home.

These Children Of Ours.

FIGHTING THEIR OWN

BATTLES.

Mothers should make themselves learn to let their children fight their own battles. They shouldn't interfere until it seems that murder may be immient.”

Waiting in a doctor's office not long ago with me were two little girls of about the same age (four ör five) with their mothers. Un- fortunately, although there were two little girls, there was only one fetching little wicker rocker. The one with the yellow curls made for it without hesitation. After eyeing. her deliberately for a moment, the one in the blue beret made a dash for the chair and tried to unsent the occupant.

Fellow curls didn't like it a bit. She had seen it first and got it

first and it was her!. Then ensued

what would have been a highly diverting battle except that both mothers felt called upon to take a hard in the proceedings

Peggy, let the little girl have the chair, she was there first.

"Oh no." countered the second mother.Pansy must get up now

he has had her turn."

And so it went on until both

mothers dragged the children apart -and the lovely little rocker stood empty...

CHESTNUTS PLAY MANY: PARTS.

SOUPS, ENTREES, VEGET- ABLES AND SWEET

DISHES, A Chestnuts are not yet properly appreciated by English people, the chief reason being that they take

Ittle time to prepare.

One method of shelling chestnuts" is to put them in boiling water on the stove for a few moments to make it easy to remove the outer shell, then to boil until soft and the inner shell will come off easily. The 'second method is to cut a half-inch gash on the fat side of the cheat- nut, place in an omelet pan, allow- ing half a teaspoon of buiter to each cup of chestnuts, shake over the store until, the butter ia melted. Put in a warm oven and let it stand for a few minutes, remove from the oven, and with a sharp kaife take off the shells.

Chestnuts can be used to alt places on the menu either for soup, entrée, vegetable, or sweet. They are perhaps best known in England as the stuffing for the Christmas turkey, but the same stuffing can be equally well used for. the everyday chicken.
