UNAPPRECIATED FOLKS I
HIS WIFE.
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING
VrOU aren’t as smart ami as clever
* ly put together as the girls he
sees up town.
There isn’t that elusive lure about
you,, that tantalizing sweet scented
ness which results when a vanity
case and a girl join interests.
Sometimes a careless wisp of hair
escapes the net. Sometimes you don’t
even wear a net, though you know in
your heart you’re the type which
needs one. Your step hasn’t that
attractive buoyancy and your voice
gets raspy, ragged.
You know you aren’t the girl he
married. You own it yourself. You
know that he must see a tremendous
change—but you know, too, that he
never seeks the cause.

I In those letters, we have been con-
I sideling some of the reasons science
I has lately given for human weak
; nesses, especially for our emotional
| weaknesses.
But science, in explaining why
' men and women misbehave, unfor
' tunately has provided some persons
i with apologies for their own miscon
| duct. Science today carefully excuses
; certain humans for being no better
' then they are. Criminals and the in
sane are explained as products of
drunkenness, starvation, etc.
Environment tells why we can’t
help being what we are. Thus science
has provided rather clever people, of
a certain type of mind, with pre
tences for evading their duties, and
for failing to live up to very moder
ate standards of human decency.
A disregard for the obligations of
marriage and paternity is one of the
unfortunate by-products of much re
cent information about the instabili
ty of the emotions. And geniuses
who write some of our popular fic
tion openly discuss the home, after
love has crashed, as if nothing re
mained to hold it together.
There is much in matrimony be
sides love.
There are many confusing and con
flicting kinds of love, but or right
mindedness there is but one variety
When it exists, any matrimonial ven
ture will survive.
You know that he never considers
' the fact that he accepts you in such
■ I a matter of fact way that you feel
I silly attempting any subtleties. Be-
J sides he’d probably call you sharply
for doing what he thinks is clever in
other girls.
You’re sure that he never realizes
hew many mornings he stalks away
from the house without leaving you
enough change to buy yourself a
new net if the old one snaps in holes.
You don’t expect him to see how
many steps it takes to put away the
papers and clothes he leaves strewn
over the house and to see that John
. ny and Mary don’t get run over and
don’t fall in the creek but do get to
school and look neat.
You know that he doesn’t realize
how his nagging, his petty fault
finding, his continual enlarging on
your own faults is digging into your
heart until you almost can’t speak
sweetly, to say nothing of thinking
sweetly.
And so, since you know he doesn’t
think of all these things—you for
give him!
Now hand this to your husband. ,

Whether or not independent plates

“Ouch ”
Spike was soon kicking for dear
life. “Quit biting me, Mr. Worm,
I and I’ll spit you out,” he cried. “I—-
I I’ve a most convenient stomach, and
I can turn it wrong side if you wish.
I ll let you go if you’ll only quit bit-

But Spike didn’t know that Mr.
i Worm had no say so in the matter
whatever; that Mr. Worm was on a

I was so uncomfortable.
Suddenly the line io which Mr.
Worm and the hook were attached,
: and to which Mr. Starfish was now

Down through the waves came Mr.

he, “I’ve got a bite, and it feels like
a ten-pound haddock.”

DON’T COOK FISH LONG! IT
TOUGHENS IT
By Sister Mary
INSTEAD of always serving fresh ;
1 fish use the salted fish occasion- ,
ally. Salted fish is a boon to the coun-,
try housekeeper for it can be kept
; almost indefinitely and is at its best
prepared, with milk.
Never stew fish, to freshen it. Long
cooking toughens fish and makes it
taste strong. Shredded codfish should
be freshened for half an hour in
cold water. Change the water two or
three times. Filets or whole pieces
should be freshened for several hours
in cold water. The saltiness of fish
and individual tastes have much to
do with the freshening.
Salt Codfish in Cream Sauce
One cup shredded codfish, 2 hard;
boiled eggs, 3 tablespoons butter, I
2 tablespoons flour, 1 1-2 cups milk,
paprika.
Shred codfish and freshen in cold
water for half an hour. The fish
should be soft. Drain. Melt butter,
stir in flour and gradually add milk.
Stir and cook for five minutes. Add
fish and hard boiled eggs chopped.
Let stand over hot water to thorough
ly heat the fish. Sprinkle with papri
ka and serve with plain boiled or
baked Irish potatoes or boiled, rice.
The hard boiled eggs may be omit
ted and 1 egg slightly beaten, added
just before sending to the table.
Baked Codfish
One cup shredded codfish, 2 cups
mashed potatoes, 2 cups milk, 4
tablespoons butter, 2 eggs, paprika.
Freshen fish. Mix potatoes, but
ter, codfish and milk and beat well.
Add the eggs well beaten and beat
the mixture just enough to thorough
ly mix. Turn into a buttered baking
dish, sprinkle with paprika and bake
half an hour in a moderate oven.
Broiled Codfish
Use the boneless, specially packed
! fish for broiling. Pick in pieces con
; venient for serving. Let stand in
i cold water half a day. Put on a well
I greased broiler and brown first on
j one side and then on the other. Put
on a hot platter, spread with butter,
sprinkle with paprika and minced
parsley and garnish with slices of
lemon.
Codfi'h Balls
One cup shredded codfish, 2 cups
mashed potatoes, 1 tablespoon but
ter, 1-4 teaspoon pepper.
Freshen fish. Add to hot mashed
potatoes with the butter and beat
well. Add pepper. Add egg well
beaten. Beat the mixture till light
and smooth. Drop from the tip of
the spoon into .deep hot fat. The
fat should be hot enuogh to brown a
cube of bread from the soft part of
the loaf in 40 seconds.

WHEN A WOMAN TELLS-
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING J
PHILIP AMES CALLS ON LILA
I WAS awake most of the night. I
* was suffering more than I knew
I could. I was suffering, perhaps, as i
Tom had when I sent him away and I
refused to see him. I seems that all
of the way through life is a boom
erang—everything good and every
thing bad comes back.
As I lay there in the soft darkness;
alone I felt lost—-lost in a whirlpool
of human desire and human uncer-1
tainty. My life seemed to stretch |
out before me a slow, sad Jhing iso
lated amid eternity— there was no
pause, no sheltering, inviting nook —
simply something vast, unending and
uninviting.
I watched the day come anil was
glad when I heard movements about
the house.
It was little after half past seven
when 1 entered Mrs. Ames’ room.
“I’m glad you’ve come,” she said
sincerely. “I have been awake most
of the night.” ,
“I think we’ll have some sort of
word today— at least we will all do
all we can,” I said, but my heart
was too heavy to put any encourage
ment in the words.
“Don’t try to comfort me,” Lila’s
voice was very low, “I have tried all
night to think of excuses for myself,
to find a balm for my conscience—
but each one when I apply it to my
heart burns like acid. Life for wo
men is largely a matter of the heart,
I think—perhaps it isn’t so with men
—but it is with women.”
“And it is so with men,” I heard
myself saying, “you will find behind
every man's success or downfall, be
hind every effort or lack of it, some
element of the heart.”
“I have been thinking it all over
and have discovered that I simply
didn’t understand John—he wasn’t
modern, he wasn’t my kind, even
though he sought me and I married
him,” Lila’s tone was reminiscent.
“His mother was an old-fashioned
woman and I think the thing that I
never understood about John is that
he was alwhys Galahading; never

him. 1 thought instead of being
sterling, he was simply—dumb.” The
word fell like a piece of metal and
startled me.
“But—l have held solitary inquest
over all my dead romances and fri
volities, and the fire of the funeral
pyre has been a purifying flame. If
John is f-S.hd, or comes back,” her
voice broke, her hands were cover
, ing her beautifully white face, “if I
I ever had the chance—he’ll find a
different woman, than the one he
married.”
And then we cried.
Some one knocked lightly on the
door.
Lila sat up, startled.
“Come!” her voice was tense with
I excitement.
A downstairs maid entered bearing
a silver card tray. The name on the
card was—
Philip Ames.

ORANGE STRAWS
Boil orange peel in water in a
sauce pan until it is tender. It may
be necessary to change the water
several times, as it becomes bitter.
When soft put peeling in a sieve to
dry. When cpld enough to handle
cut in strips. Then boil in syrup to
the caramel stage and dry in a mod
erately warm place.
TRAVELING HINT
If there are bottles in your bag or
I trunk and you fear the corks will
i come out, heat your sealing wax in
a flame and run the melted part
around the cork where it meets the
glass. Thus it will be held in tight
ly and only a smart twist is neces
sary to remove it when you arrive at
your destination.
