DEPARTMENT FOR WOMEN
MOTTO: "To live and learn and be all that not harms distinctive Womanhood" Tennyson
THE DALLAS EXPRESS. DAIAASTEXAS, APRIL 17, 1020.
A MOMENT WITH THE
CONDUCTOR
JULIETTE LEE.
"OH, WELL, YOU KNOW HOW
WOMEN ARR!"
Bv Irvln 8. Cobb.
"She emerges from the shop. She
i any woman and the shop from
which ahe emerges is any shop In
does not simply that she has been
buying anything or that she has con
templated buying anything, but mere
ly that she has been shopping a
very different pursuit from buying.
Buying implies business for the shop;
shopping merely Implies Duslness for
the clerks.
As stated, she emerges. Right In
the doorway she runs Into a woman
of her acquaintance. If she likes
the other woman she is cordial. But
If she does not like her she is verv
very cordial.
Very well, then, she meets the oth
er woman at the door. They stop
for conversation. This woman and
her acquaintance take root right
there. Persons dodge round them and
gin re at them.
But does it occur to either of them
to suggest that they might step aside
five feet or ten. find save themselves'
and the pcrtostrinn classes generally'
a deal of delay and considerable, an
noyance? It dues not. It never will.
If the meeting took place Just out
side the Pearly Gates on the Last
Day when the quick and the dead,
called up for Judgment, were stream
ing In through the portals still would
they behave thus. Where they met
would be where they stopped to talk,
regardless of the consequences to
themselves, regardless of impediment
to the movement of their fellow
beings.
Having had her say with her dear
friend or her dear enemy, as the
case may be, our heroine proceeds
to the corner and halls a passing
street car. Because her heels are so
high and her skirts are so snug, she
takes about twice the time to climb
aboard that a biped In trousers would
take.
With hands encased In overtight
gloves she fumbles at the catch of a
hand bag. Having wrested the hand
. bag open she paws about among
Its myriad and mysterious contents.
' A card of buttons, a sheaf of sam
ples, a handkerchief, a powder puff
for Inducing low visibility of the
human nose, a small parcel of some
thing, a nail file, and other small
articles are disclosed before she dis
inters her purse from the bottom of
her hand bag. Another struggle with
the clasp of the purse ensues; fin
ally, one by one five coppers are
fished up out of the depths and pre
sented to the conductor.
The car has passed her corner or
Is about to pass it. All flurried, she
arises and signals the conductors that
she is alighting here. From her air
and her expression, we may gather
that, mentally, she holds him re
sponsible for the fet that she has
been carried on biruud her proper
destination. ,
The car having stopped she makes
her way to the rear platform and
gets off gets off the wrong way.
f That Is to say, she gets off with face
' toward the rear.

GOOD TIMES AT
SMALL COST
W hen a church organization wishes
to make Its birthday anniversary an
occasion for increasing the revenue
of the society, a novel Idea is to
have everyone bring "dough" for the
cake playing upon the word as it
is used In the sense of money. To
make the "cake" receptacle cover a
large round hatbox with, pink crepe
paper and decorate It with pink paper
roses green foliage. Place as many
candles on the top In the crandle
holders bought for the purpose as th'
society is years old. Make small
bags of cheesecloth of of scraps of
silk and present one to each person
on arrival with the request to add as
many pennies as he or she Is years
old and, if they wish, a few more for
good luck. When filled with "dough"
the bags are to be dropped Into the
opening In the top of the cake.
Serve coffee and doughnuts In lieu
of the usual more expensive birth
day purtv refreshments.
"She rlscth also while it Is yet
night, and giveth meat to her house
hold and a portion to her maidens."
Proverbs.
As the conductor rings the start
ing bell, he glances toward a man
who Is riding on the roar platform.
"Kin you beat 'um?" says the con
ductor. "I asc you kin you beat
um'.'"

THE RAIN IIOW WEDDING.
Sometimes on summer evenings fair
Dark clouds obscure the sky
Sending their shadows ev'rywhere.
And gusts of wind go by.
The lightning's flash and thunder's
And then the rain begins to pour.
But summer showers don't last long,
Thoy quickly pass away;
Those angry clouds, how soon they're
gone
The sun sends forth a ray.
The raindrops catch and hold It so,
It makes for them a pretty bow.
Then after the summer shower ,
The sky will wed the earth.
In that bright and beauteous hour,
Nature Is full of mirth.
For bridal chorus birdies sing
And the rainbow Is the ring.

CLUB NOTES AND SOCIAL
TESTED RECIPES.
Domestic Bdence, Dallas
High School.
To- secure the most appetizing and
palatable dishes only fresh tender
vegetables should be cooked. If how
ever, green beans, peas, etc., have
grown until a little too old and It
still seems best to gather them, a
vey small piece of baking soda ad
ded to the water In which they are
boiled makes them more tender. It
is commonly believed, and helps to
retain the color. Too much will injure
the flavor. During the cooking of all
vegetables the cover must be drawn
to one side, to allow the volatile
bodies liberated by the heat to pass
off in the steam.
SPINACH WITH CREAM.
1-2 peck of Spinach.
2 tablesprtonfuls butter,
1 tablespoonful flour,
1 tespoonful salt.
1 tcaspQonful pepper,
1-2 pint cream or milk.
Blanche and mince the Spinach. Put
the butter in a saucepan and on the
tire. When hot add the flour and
stir until smooth and frothy then add
minced Spinach, salt and pepper,
cook for 6 minutes, then add hot
milk cook S more minutes.

Boiled Onions in white sauce. Peel
Peel the onions, cut off .tops and
roots young onions or old ones may
be used drop Into cold water as fast

quart of water. Cook until tender.
