most sublime expression.
Kuth's ambition was akin to hers.

Alice hoped to get ahead of them
and stand higher In teachers favor,
so ■-he said : "And I'm going to be a

; like you do, Miss M ."
Miss M was delighted. She

feated before she spoke. She seemed
to realize that all the desirable pro-
fessions had been chosen. She sighed

thought came Into her mind, she said,

TREES TO ADORN HIGHWAYS
Common Sense P an That Has Been
Accepted W th Erthus 2sm by
Many States and Cities.
"When it coines to a memorial to
the soJ<Jier-<5< d. wl at on earth co^ki
begin to equal a fine parkway with its
array of trees of remembrance?"* asks
American Forestry (Washir jrton). A
thing of beauty and a joy for many
generations, it will keep green tfce
memory of the heroes of the great ctm-
4 flict gnd be as well ^ source of com flora-!
to the living, argues this magazine, and
adds eloquently:
"By all means let u« have tre^s of
remembrance. L^t us have them
abundantly and for every possible 1
memorial. They are the true monu-
ments. the living memorials God has
provided to hallow the holiest mem- I
ories of every person and of every |
race/'
Much is being done all through the
country to this good end. Chambers
of commerce and similar organizations
have been quick to see the value of
the idea. In many places fruit and
nut-bearing trees are being planted In
memorial highways. The state of
Michigan, for example, will plant its
Victory highway from Fort Huron to
Chicago with apple trees. One can
easily picture how such a highway
will look when those trees are in fuD
bloom. A cross of living trees along
roads countv-long and county-wide is
planned by Bibbs county, Ga., as her
memorial. Hamilton. Ohio, proposes
for her tribute a beautiful boulevard
along a river, planted with trees;
Brooklyn, too. plans to honor a his-
toric road a« a memorial boulevard.—

Albee Operation Adopted.
AI bee s operation for tuberculous
spine seems not to have been known
in Kngland until at a recent medical
convention I)r. A. Itendle Short heard
American surgeons speak so glowing-
ly of It that he used It in four cases
with striking success In three and
comparative success In one. The op-
eration consists In splitting the spines
of five vertebrae and Inserting a long
graft from the shin bone. When the
graft has healed the five vertebrae
form a rigid mass.
Saving for Homes.
It Is cheery and Inspiring to read
that many hundreds of small deposi-
tors are starting savings accounts with
the banks In the city, their purpose
being to accumulate funds with which
to purchase or construct homes. Their
action l* a substantial contribution to
the solution of the housing problem in
Ihe city. They are beginning at the
foundation, a very solid foundation.
Their plan will aid the city and they
"111 have a vast benefit personally
from systematic savings. They will
have a new purpose In life, a plan to
he completed, a task to he done. The
man who nurses his ambition to live
under his own roof has. made himself
a better citizen by developing that am-
bition. He will be a better citizen
for the community, because he will
have a deep Interest In the right de-
velopment of the city.—Ohio State
Journal.

SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS.
Chicken wrved In the ordinary wny
may become monotonous, so something
new appeals, try
trls:
Chicken en Cas-
serole.— Disjoint a
chicken and use
the best Joints;
roll In seasoned
flour and saute In
salt pork fat until
browned delicately on all sides. Cut
a carrot In even slice*; add an onion
for each person to be served. From
peeled potatoes, cut out a dozen and a
half balls. Cook the vegetal'.es In a
little of the fat until slightly browned,
then dispose the pieces of the chicken
and the vegetables In the casserole,
i With the giblets, neck and other pieces,
make some chicken broth, by covering
with cold water; pour this while hot
over the chicken and vegetables, and
after seasoning cover and let cook In
the oven until the chicken Is tender—
It will take about two hours. The
broth should be prepared two hours
or more before the chicken Is ready-
to cook.
Fruit and Nut Rolls.—Mix nnd sift
together two cupful* of flour, fo'ir
teaspoonfuls of baking powder and
one teaspoonful of suit. Work In one
tablespoonful of butter and one of
lard. Add one-third of a cupful of
milk, the same of water and mix to a
soft dough, using a knife. More liquid
may be needed. Toss on a floured
board, roll lightly to one-fourth Inch
thickness, cover with one-fourth of a
cupful each of brown augur and rais-
ins and one-third of a cupful of brok-
en walnuts, Over all pour one fourth
of a cupful of melted butter. Sprinkle
with grated nutmeg and roll up like a
Jelly roll. Fasten the end by moisten-
ing with milk or water. Cut In three-
fourths Inch pieces and bake in a hot
oven twenty minutes.
Chestnut Croquettes.—Shell and
blanch a pint of large chestnuts and
cook them lu a higlily seu«uiied broth
until tender. When cool, slice in thin
slices. Melt one-fourth of a cupful of
butter | add one-third of a cupful of
flour, a teaspoonful of salt, uiul a dash
of pepper i stir and cook until the flour
Is uhsorbed; add one cupful of rich,
highly-seasoned broth and half a cup
ful of cream; stir and cook until
smooth and thick, then add the chest-
nuts. Turn out on a buttered plate
and cool When cold, shape Into cro
quettes, egg crumb and fry In deep fat
making up the lovely dance and
dinner frocks that give her Imagina-
tion food for pleasant thoug.it?
W hether >he Is working for herself
or some one else, and especially if her
endeavor benefits a daughter, there is
less care and more Joy in the making
of party frocks than in anything else.
\ ouhger women are rapturous over
them, the young matrons know that
they look their best in them and ma-
turer ones travel on the road to yes-
terday when they wear them.
There is a wide choice of styles to
suit various types, and plenty of room
for individual taste in dance frocks.
One may choose quaint and demure
Ideas or be a little daring, or steer
a course between the t^ o. When there
Is so much that is vivid and sparkling
and daring, it is the simpler «>r quaint
frocks that find themselves most
charming. They do not belong to the
Jazz era, and are refreshing for that
reason.
j A lovely dance or dinner frock of
'afifeta. as pictured here, has a low
bodice with narrow straps of the silk
over the shoulders, and over this ft
pretty fichu of fine net to match, edged
with shirred taffeta strij - frayed along
the edges. The girdle, which is point-
ed at the front, recalls the old-time
pointed bodice that seems to belong
to the full skirt The fichu is knotted
at the front and has short ends hang-
ing below the waistline.
The skirt is widened at the hips
with a wire, and there are three rows
of the fringed strips set about it here
to emphasize Its fullness. Wide scal-
lops at the bottom reveal a narrow
petticoat underneath, that is finished
with the fringed strips also, and this
skirt, like many others, is noticeably
longer than skirts have t>een for some
^ime. There are several -iirns besides
this one of a reaction from extremes
In styles that may be looked for iv
ihe coming spring.
