WHEN A WOMAN TELLS

1 HAVE AN ODD TALK WITH TOM
« V ( »-J didn’t really think I was go
ing to let you get away with
out a word with you, did you?" Tom’s
voice was very kind, half playful.
The door was once more closed and
we were alone in his private office.
"I’ve been trying so hard to g '
you, Tom'" Tears almost reached
the surface.
"I know you have—*-but I wanted
to give you time to really know.
Helga. And if it wasn’t for that I’d
kiss you now—you look ' sweet
enough, but you must be sure now."
And without giving me time to ay
that I was sure, Tom was rushing
into plans for helping Mrs. Ames.
"I think he is safe somewhere—' <
hasn’t done anything desperate, 1
know, because he isn't the sort who
would. He may have just decided
that he was tired of the game and
that it wouldn’t bo worth a fight, so ,
' he just eliminated himself jn his i
brother’s favor."
"But I’m sure that can't be it." I
said, "because John Arne, thought it
was worth fighting for -he is more j
fond of Lila Ames than anyone
would suspect. If he had not been
so fond of her and so foolishly eager
to grant her desires —there never
would have been the related tri- |
angle.”
"Phil Ames is a man I never could
get!” Tom was running his- fingers
through his hair. ‘ John I.as been :
practically a father Io him from the!
very beginning, put him through col
lege. got him out of one scrape after
another, supported him, is practically
supporting him yet still he doesn’t ■
hesitate at going into his brother’s!
borne and wrecking it.”

Price or Value
Price is the question of a moment—
Value, a proof of worth.
People who buy solely by the figures
on the price tag often pay dearly for
the service rendered. People who con
sider value frequently find it cheaper
in the end pay slightly higher prices
for a far greater amount of service
received. Our prices are low when
quality is considered.

"I often wondered how he made 1
a living,” 1 said, the weight of John
Ames burden just beginning to
dawn on me.
"Ke didn't make one—he just de
i pended upon his brother for it —and
I’m not sura that John wasn't a
chump to stand ail that he did. 1
: can’t see the virtue of a man's giv
ing up his wife to another man and
then supporting the two in the bar-
I gain."
Tom laughed gently and then add
ed: ”1 wouldn't do it—Helga!”
I wondered if he would ever get
to our own affairs.
“Now I'm going to send you along.
Helga," Tom said, “and you must be
ready to do your utmost to comfort
that woman who may awaken any
minute to what she has lost.”
“She has awakened,” 1 said soft
iy-
Tom looked at me a minute. '
"Fine," was all he said, but in his k
tone was something I failed to catch <
the meaning of. I
‘ Trot along now .and later, if you 1
think we may. we'll talk of our- '
selves. Tell Mrs. Ames I’ll let you 1
know from time, to time what I find
out."
Tom’s outer office was deserted. 1
Mrs. Ames and Grace I found wait- v
ing for me in the car at the curbing. !1
The trip home was an awkward
thing. Grace smiled reministcently r
every now and then. Mrs. Ames was
silent; her face began to show lines '
of care, and I was uncertain whether
I should be angry at Tom or grateful j"
to him. .

You thought all of the hard things
•ou could of her. But what you did ’
■ not think was that you went into J
| the store at the fag end of the day c
' and that your own disposition was )
! a little ragged.
And you hadn’t watched the pro- |
i cession of women, just like yourself, >
: top at the linen clerk’s counter a <
: while, absently finger things over ■
‘ and then pass on.
You didn’t realize that there weie |
I days when it seemed to the young .
! woman clerk that every woman in
I t won had started out te look at
■ linens without the h ast idea of who.*
i she wanted and not prepared to pur
ch ase anyway, and so turned away ]
from the counter unsold.
You didn’t understand that on such ■
! days the floor manager seemed to
I be always at hand and sent a ques
tioning look after every disappear
ing back.
You didn’t know that after about
so many disappearing backs and
blank saleslips, something would be
said about them.
And then, perhaps, you didn’t care ,
very much anyway, because, after
all, she was just a strange clerk!
How about it do you consider
her?

AH at once Spike S tarfish made a leap. /
SPIKE STARFISH peered around
this way and that with each one
of his points, for, you know, each
point had an eye on the point of it.
Then he sniffed, but dear knows
where his nose was! I don’t. Then
he smacked his lips.
You’d never have dreamed that \
Spike had been broken into two
pieces a month before, because he I
wa as perfect now, and as whole,
as a new-laid egg. Only of course
he wasn’t so round or so smooth. The
queer part of it was that right be
hind him came another starfish, his ,
twin, as Tubbv Terrapin explained.
The queerest part of it all was that
this twin had grown out of the pieces
that had broken off Spike. Every
time Spike looked, he looked and ev
ery time Spike sniffed, he sniffed, and
everything that Spike did, he did.
Cap’n Penny winkle and the Twins
saw everything from their hiding
place beside the oyster bed, where i
Tubby Terrapin had .taken them. |

as the fairyman once said, lying *•
their with their shells open an<> let

they snapped their shells shut, one ■ '
after the other, until the oyster-bed j '
looked like a cobble-stone pavement, *
just a heap of round, smooth bumps *
that never moved. 1
All at cnee Spike Starfish made a 1
leap and landed right on top of one t
of them, and Slick, or Slim, or Slip

name was, landed light on top of 1

SISTER MARY’S
KITCHEN
VEGETABLES ARE NUTRITIOUS
By Sister Mary
is a vegetable deserv- 1
ing greater popularity than it
enjoys just now. Its delicacy of flav- a
or and the many ways of cooking it
aside from its richness in vitamines <
make it a valuable vegetable for sum- •
mer use.
Kohl-rabi is sometimes known as '
turnip cabbage, but t' ? taste is more ‘
delicate than either turnip ()1 - cab- I
bage am' the pungent odor of the
coarser 'vegetables is lacking. Choose (
young roots.
Kohl-rabi Saute 1
Pare vegetables and cut in quar- 1
ter inch slices. Cook in boiling water
till tender. Drain and fry a light 1
brown in half butter and ha'f bacon 1
fryings. Sprinkle with pepper and
serve. Use just enough fat to allow
the slices to brown ouickly. *. •
Fried Kohl-rabi
Pare and slice vegetables. Cook in !
boiling water until tender. Roll in 1
dried bread crumbs, dip in eggs
slightly beaten with 1 tablespoon wa- 1
ter, roll again in crumbs and fry in
deep hot fat till a golden brown. The
number of vegetables necessary de- ■
pends on their size. Two large vege- i
tables should serve four persons.
Baked Kohl-rabi
Pare and slice vegetables. Cook sin
boiling water until tender. Drain and 1
shake over fire to dry. Mash and i
season with salt and pepper and but-1
ter. Add a little milk and beat well.
Put into a buttered baking dish,
cover with coarse bread crumbs, dot |
with bits of butter and brown in a j
hot oven.
Kohl-rabi in Cream Sauce
Pare vegetables and cut in half
inch cubes. Cook in boiling water
till tender. Drain and season with
salt and penner. Make a white sauce,
using 2 tablespoons butter, 5 tea
spoons floor, T-2 cun milk, 1-2 cup
cream. 1-2 teasnoon sail, 1-3 tea

OROKEN engagements, like di
vorces, have increased since the
war.
“1 was engaged five years. Seems
absurd, I suppose, to a person of
sense. It’s absurd to me, now I’ve
broken with the man. Many times
I asked him why we couldn’t marry. 1
The only answer I ever had was <
‘Because!’ Then followed extrava- i
gant demonstrations of his devotion. I
“I wish you would write some- !
thing good and strong about men
who are too selfish to marry. I’m
convinced it would do some of them
a world of good.—Foolish Virgin!”,
I am convinced that no procras
tinating suitor would be influenced
one bit by the printed word.
Character is not made in a day
n d it cannot be made over by a
single sermon. But it may be read
in a day, and it does seem that the
girl who stays engaged for five years
ought to ake a little time off in
which to look for flaws in the man
of her trust. ' •
“What kind of a man is this who
swears that he 'loves nm but is
never ready for our wedding?” is
surely a reasonable question.
Most unfortunately (from a sym
pathetic view noint), 1 have a large
assortment of letter'-- from girls who
have dragged through long engage
ments to a disastrous conclusion.
One girl thus confesses her hurt:

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1021.
“My engagement was broken aftei
four happy years and I am mise
able. I have wasted the best yea
of my life, i worried for monti
before ending the affair, and I ha\
lost flesh, and my good looks, ar
energy and ambition. I have bee
humiliated before my friends, and
have wasted hundreds of dollars on
trousseau I shall never need.
“I know I am doomed to be an ol
maid. The man was utterly se
fi/'i—” And he was, judging from th
remainder of her long letter.
“Selfishness greed for gettir
all and giving nothing back is th
secret of most of this distress.
There’s only one hit of comfo
for these too-trusting girls: Mo:
of them end in exactly the san
situation which would have engulf<
them, had they married. They ai
alone, as old maids instead of ;
divorcees. The men merely tired <
them before the wedding instead <
afterward, and for this they are I
be congratulated.
Theirjetters make valuable reai
Ing for uncritical women who nee
to learn that love alone cannot pn
duce permanent happiness.
The important querry is:
“What kind of a man is doing tl:
loving?”
The only advantage of a long ei
pavement is the chance it gives
girl to find out that.
