What a Woman is at Thirty
m
0 POISE with solid sense a
sprightly wit" that Is what the
present-day young woman has
"somehow caught tho trick of
doing, and It Is largely tills
piquant and nllurlng union of wit
and wisdom which distinguishes her
from her grandmother. Not that wit,
grace and beauty were not tho
grandmother's pre-eminently, but thcro Is
tlo evidence In history or tradition to
show that solid senso was possessed or even
desired In the young girls of her time.
Men were required to bo sensible; men
woro expected to bo brave, strong, wise,
scrlouB and self-sacrldctng, but tho girl was
encouraged and educated even to bo a silly,
cowardly, weak, frivolous, selfish nnd way
ward as a carefully shielded, over-Indulged,
untrained nnd untried Ilttlo animal, bi
pedal or quadrupedal, Inevitably tends to
become.
Nor was ehe In the least to blamo for her
short-comings. Our grandmothers, from
all accounts, seem to havo struggled up
through the two stages of an abnormal,
sunbonnettcd, pantnlctted, low-necked and
short-sleeved, paper-soled, sentimental
young ladyhood, Into neurotic creatures of
prematurely overtaxed organs and unstrung
nerves, prone In momcntB of calm to un
healthy sentimentality, nnd In times of ex
citement to uncontrolled hysterics.
On the other hand, tho young woman of
today has been allowed to develop with
nature's slow and healthy growth from a
properly clothed, hyglcnlcnlly reared baby
hood, through a rational childhood, girlhood
nnd young ladyhood, during which, with a
healthy young animal's keen delight In
muscular exercise, sho lias learned to swim
and row, dance nnd skate, play tennis and
rldo a bicycle. Sho has formed rather than
filled her mind by n reading of tho right
books and by enough, but not too much,
hard study. At 30 she Is often unmarried,
because girls of today are more and more
cherishing In their hearts lofty Ideals, not
so much of their llfo-partnors as of their
own selves, which It takes time to create.
A gracious, self-possessed woman of tho
world la she at 30, as far removed from
tho old-time woman of that ago as la the
Joyous, earnest, ambitious Bchool girl of
Chestnuts for Thanksgiving Dinners
N optimistic writer In one of tho
dietetic Journals recently declared
chestnuts to bo "tho food of the
future." The nursery catalogues
sent out this fnll would certainly
seem to Justify his faith, for while tho
latest novelty In apple trees can be pur
chased for 60 cents, a slnglo three-year-old
chestnut tree of the most approved pedlgrco
spU for S3. Thin looks as If the demand
r chestnuts were "looking up."
Chestnuts are to the south European
peasant what tho potato la to tho Irish, tho
staple article of diet, and It has every ad
vantage In Its favor. A nut tree will grow
In a stony hedge wbero a potato would
scorn to sprout, and while the latter food
must be obtained by the sweat of tho
brow, one has but to stoop to pick up the
latter when the crisp autumn frosts open
the burrs. (
But the crowning virtue of the chestnut
la its versatility, ao to apeak, for It la
equally good as aoup or roast or dessert,
SI
today from tho Dresden china shepherdess
damsels of a hundred years ago those
fragile, ornamental, sentimental maidens
of 16 or under whoso most serious occupa
tion was tho ensnaring of beaux. In those
dayn, when girls married at 16, tho woman
of thirty was tho mother of a numerous
family. Her highest ambition was to bo
called tho best housekeeper In town, and
nil her thought was given to tho hem
stitching of her linen shoots and tho em
broidering of her underclothes. All honor
to her name, for hor stnndnrds wero high
In tho only things which wero considered
legitimate for women. Standards for women
today nro higher, but they will do well
If they strlvo as strenuously to reach them
as did sho.
An exquisite creature wns our grand
mother In her girlhood; no ono so dainty
nnd so graceful as she; nowhero today Is
thcro so delicate a piece of femininity.
Today, Indeedfew women covet that praise.
It Is no longer tho tiny hand, the mllk
whlto skin, the trim nnklo and tho taper
waist that women strive for nnd men do
mnnd, but rather tho strong nrm, tho firm
step, tho bright cyo, nnd the clear brnln
no longer perfect femininity, but perfect
womanhood.
It has been said that thcro Is less physi
cal beauty In tho world today than there
wns a century ngo. Certainly thcro Is less
tnlk about It. But, viewed by tho now
standards, our grandchildren will blossom
Into such beauty as tho world has never
seen; for It has been given to us to know
many things that wero undrenmed of In
tho philosophy of thoso pretty Ilttlo mnlds
of long ago. Perhaps most Important, most
helpful of all, we have learned to seo the
fallacy of that time-honored aphorism,
"Beauty Is only skin deep," nnd we now
set to work scientifically to mnko our
selves beautiful from tho Inside outward.
Wo may Indeed havo lost some of the
fineness nnd fastidiousness which marked
the young women of our grandmother's tlmo
the belief that a cotton handkerchief
would lnjuro tho nose; that cotton under
clothing wns not only vulgar, but unwhole
some; that n soft, whlto hand was tho hall
mark of a lady; that a knowledge of danc
ing, singing, playing, embroidering and
letter writing stood next In Importance to
ns tho following recipes will show. The
small American chestnut Is best for sweets,
whllo tho large Spanish or Japaneso are
more serviceable for other cooking:
Chestnut Soup Romovo tho outside shell
from a pint of chestnuts nnd let them stand
In boiling water until tho fnncr skin will
peel off. Then cover them with water, to
which n pinch of salt has been added, and
boll until quite tendor, with a look and
n sprig of parsley, A slice of bacon may
bo added If desired. Press through a col
lander, add a lump of butter, a dash of
black pepper, n quart of milk and a spoon
ful of finely minced parsley, and let all
come to the boiling point.
Turkey Dressing Tho following recipe Is
vory much used In Franco for stuffing tur
key: Peel and blanch your chestnuts and
boll until tender enough to mash. When
mashed mix ono pound of chestnuts with
ono-half pound of eausago meat. Take a
sllco of very dry bread and rub down on
It a clove of garlic until tho garlic Is
the art of personal adornment. But wc
must still admit that thore Is n certain
mental clcganco which cornea of Intimate
association with linens and expresses Itself
somehow In tho body, nnd which wo lack
nowndnys through closo familiarity with
cottons; n certain fineness betokened by a
soft, white, shapely hand that our modern
athletic women, with their hard, brown
hnnds, sometimes fall of, nnd n cortaln
culturo that even a superficial study of tho
nrts cannot fall to Impart.
On tho other hand, women, to a greater
degreo thnr. over before, havo common
sense, nnd utilitarianism, nnd tho calmness
nnd polso that go with strength, but In
their eagerness for this physical and mental
power they may havo Bomotlmes lost In
graco and Bwcetness. It remains for those
of tho next generation harmoniously to com
blno tho two.
Thero are still to bo met young women
who cling nnd faint and shriek nnd pinch
their waists nnd toes. So are thcro those
who, to qtioto Senntor John J. Ingalls, go to
tho races with one man nnd bet, drink cock
tails, smoko cigarettes and go to midnight
suppors with another; who nro Introduced
to pugilists by a third nnd who listen to
Inuondoos, doublo entendrcs nnd unprintable
stories from a fourth.
Tho two types represent tho extremes
produced on tho ono hand by bcglnnlng-of
tho-contury restraint, and, on tho other, by
end-of-tho-century freedom. In tho ono
enso modesty, cnrrled to extremes, dogen
ornted Into artificiality nnd affection; In
tho other, liberty, Indlscrlmlnntlngly oxer
clscd, has expanded Into license nnd Inde
corum. Tho latter Is but a passing phaHo
In tho evolution of womanhood from abso-
Into dependence nnd roprcsBlon townrd In
dopendenco and Individuality.
But tho best typo of tho young woman of
today has steered tho craft of her woman
hood Bnfely between tho Scylln of effoml
nacy and tho Charybdls of mannlshness;
hetwocn tho hidden rock of prudery nnd tho
whirlpool of unrestraint, holding her course
straight toward tho haven of tho sort of
womanhood that fills our Ideal of what tha
mothers ought to be In tho wonderful
future. ALICE CARROLL
rubbed nway. Then grato tho bread and
add to your dressing. Into a saucepan put
n lump of butter, a ilttlo chopped parslev
and a bit of shalot; add to this the chest
nuts nnd sausage nnd let nil cook gently
for fifteen minutes.
Nesselrodo Pudding Brenk up a pint of
sweet boiled chestnuts In a mortar, but
do not mash them smooth; ndd half a pint
of mixed candled pool and candled cher
ries which hnvo stood for somo time In
enough sherry or brandy to cover them.
Into a doublo boiler put ono pint of milk
nnd ono pint of cream and a heaping tea
cupful of sugar. Add to this four eggs,
boaton light, and stir constantly until It
thickens. When cold beat this cream Into
tho chestnut nnd fruit mixture Stir well
together nnd freeze.
