Respect for Older Generation
Its Viewpoint May Seem Narrow, but Iw
Object is Invariably Praiseworthy.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"My folks never want to let me go out
and have a good time," writes Jennie.
"They seem to think that a girl can go
to business all day, then come home and
help get aupper and go to bed at 9
o'clock perfectly contented, without hav
ing any fun or going out with any young
folks. I can't stand It, bo I think I'll
leave home."
Of course. If Jennie la a sensible girl
she hardly needa roe to tell her that she
must not leave home but a little review
of the whys and wherfores of the con
ditions she meets at home help all the
little Jennies to a happier understanding
of and with the older generation.

Judgment of her own in regard to the

Under these circumstances it is scarcely

fail to assimilate the standards of liberty

prevalent in our own country.
Suppose Jennie's parents are American

Jennie Is able to enjoy a good home

lands chicken also
may be had, but
no other chicken
In the world has

and dukes can never get enough ot It,
or the trimmings.
There la much discussion as to what
part of America grows the finest variety
of chicken, and connolaaeurs are divided
on this point. Each section raises a bird
that haa some peculiar merits of Its own.
The western variety is large, handsome
and showy, but Inclined to be a trifle
muscular, and for thla region it Is gen
erally roated. especially by antl-auffra-glsts.
The southern species Is plump, and Is
particularly delectable when caught at
the frying size.
The New tlngland breed of chickens Is,
on the contrary, rather thin and runs a
little too much to neck.
The middle western variety la very
fresh and sweet, and when raised In a
barnyard full of corn or wheat, or In
the shadow of a browery or stock yardH.
Is noted for Its fine plumage. These
western chickens, especially the variety
known aa heiresses, form the staple diet
I would like to put this question to
the Jwlges and moralists whu have ex
pressed their opinion in this matter of
the child: If it ia not a crime to kill In
cold blood normal men and women driven
by abnormal conditions to abnormal acts,
why Is It a crime to keep hands off while
a naturally doomed abnormal Infant, that
can be snld barely to have licen, cease

If I had been the mother of that child,
and It had been, not my fourth, but my

among young men of the smart set, who
are too proud to work, and are thus en
abled to feather their nests by the simple
process of going through a marriage cere

among bon vlvants Is that, whatever may
be the merits of the poultry of other

is noted.

to catch It. here again, wo see the differ
ence that climate and environment have .
upon the different varieties. The western 1
chicken la exceedingly wild and hard to j
catch. The southern variety, being more j
dnmestlo and lees sophisticated, can easily 1
be captured by throwing tho chaff of a few i
pretty speeches before It, while the mid- :
din western chick is so tame It will come i
and eat out of your hand, and the New j
England variety will run after you.
But any variety of chicken may easily ,
bo caught if you will scatter enough ',
dough before It.
Chicken may be prepared In a great 1
many different ways, but possible the ,
two methods that apaal most to the popu- '
lar taate are chicken, town style, and .
rhlcken, country stvle.
To prepare chicken town style, select j
a nice pretty young b'rd, either plump
or attenuated, accord'ng to taste. Pay i
particular attention to Its feathers, and
see whether they are plentiful and of fine
quality or not, for this will save you ,
much money later on. Also take notice
ns to whether It looks lively and healthy,
or appears droopy and melanaholy, as
nothing Is lees tasty than a hen with the
pip.
Above all, be careful to choose a
clvcknn with a red top knot, that ruffles
Its feithers at the slightest provocation
und that shows fight and a disposition
to use Its besk. Many men disregard this
precaution, and aa a result receive hen
pecks from which they never reoover.
