LOVES THAT PERISH
KIIE no longer loves me!”
* * Were the voices of women of
all the nations to unite in a great
miserere, these would be the words of '
it.
For nearly 15 years have I been
reading and replying to letters from
women. Most helpless of them all '
and most frequent, are the tragic
problems arising from the fact which 1
they invariably state as above.
A decade ago it was the custom to ■
assure the woman, wretched because i
no longer loved, that she was quite I
mistaken. The abandoned girl was'
informed that probably her lox had '
departed because he was the «rong
man and that if she remained true]
to her own sweet self, the right man;
surely would turn up.
The neglected wife was consol <1
by the positive statement that her
husband must love her truly -just be
cause he was her husband.
And if a woman was plainly a'
slave to a tyrant and a rascal, she j
was reminded that the whole duty;
of a wife was to seize upon the scrap I
of love the man was capable of feel-1
ing and make it the yeast of an af
fection which couldn’t fail to reform'
him.
And woman was expected to be ■
rather happy in her martydom.
To cure it. by forgetting it. or ig-1
noring it, or substituting something
’FINDING HAPPINESS
ONE WOMAN’S WAY.
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING
IN ITS quest for happiness at least
half of the world is rushing with
misguided haste after a will-o’-the
wisp which vanishes just at the edge
of realization.
A crystal ball which shatters at
the slightst touch, the half has called
happiness, and thenwept over the
splintered fragments.
A wanton feather-down, moved by
the wooing of any "fitful breeze, it
has called happiness, and then griev
ed when it was wafted out of sight.
A mirage, a fantasy, horn of some;
dream stuff, it has called'happiness,'
and then mourned when its nothing-,
ness was revealed.
Blind seeking. Resultant suffer-1
ing. While all along at the very
door of every seeker, the treasure■
has been unnoticed.
But of the other half—the half
who sec. They are the people who:
are instantly liked! They are the peo
ple whom the rest of the world thinks i
fortune has smiled on-- when really
it; is just the reward of their own j
willingness to value the joys which
come. 1

close for it was unthinkable. There
fore the wife of the nicest sensibili
ties and sentiments proved her per
fection by loving steadfastly to the
end of a lonely life—a quite unwor
thy man!
It wa( called "unrequited love"
in the old day; and if one didn’t hap
pen tq have-an experience of one’s
own to enjoy, one wept over the
neglected heroines of opera and
novel.
But time—or perhaps suffragism
—has changed all that.
Today women seek justice in the
relations of life, and have whole
somer views of love. For both, they
build upon the new wisdom lately de
veloped about human emotions.
The most conspicuous fact about
the emotions is that they’ are un
stable in their essence, and not be
cause human beings are perverse.
Tides ebb and flow. Stars dwin
dle to dust and new suns glow in the
ends of the universe. Peace follows
war. Pink checks turn yellow.. Noth
ing in nature is permanent.
Curious, isn’t it, that ’ we admit
change to be the law of everything
in life except love?
It is our wish to be loved through
eternity which has made us conclude
we are going to be loved that long
say the professors who weigh man’s
invisible self. But dwarfed or stifled
loves does not doom modern women
to moping.
Down in Tennessee there's such :
woman, singularly successful, singu
larly happy. Folks who know Mis;
Chari Williams, president of tin
National Educational association, sa;
that from the very first of her climl
from a small-town school teacher tc
her present position, she has givci
due value to ordinary experiences
Perhaps it was just the tacking o
bunting over a platform frame for a
school entertainment —hut she iiket
it and found pleasure in it becausi
it served well the purpose of the
moment. With a certain wom-mh
wisdom she sought the joy at hanc
instead of wishing for that just ow
of her reach.
The silver coffee service whirl
you’d find on her table at dinner—
were you there—-in a .concrete ex
pression of appreciation from .1
group with which she once worked
She treasures in memory the wed
ding of a girl employe who, with n<
near relatives, asked her to give hei
in marriage. A thousand such
things bring 'her happiness.
Are you missing much because
you are looking too far?

“I think I’ll put you and your bro ther into jail and keep you there.”
KWELL, I’ll be blowed!” exclaim- ,
ed Cap’n Pennywinkle when ’
Spike Starfish swallowed the fisher- ’
man’s hook and got caught. Os
course he should have said that he’d
be ::blown’ but where he wished to be
blown to, he didn’t mention. “»Vho’d
have thought that nice looking worm ,
was on a hook?” he went on. “Tub 1
Terrapin, if it hadn’t been for our i
young friend, Nick here, you’d have
been on the end of that line and mak
ing a second course on somebody’s
dinner table by the day’ after to
morrow.”
Tub bowed his thanks as well as
a turtle can. Then Curly, the sea
horse, spoke up. “Now that I
think of it, I believe that 1, too
wished to eat the fisherman’s bait,
and Nick saved me.”
“Then I also owe you a debt of
gratitude, Mr. Nick.” put in Cap’n '
Pennywinkle, for if Curly' had been
caught, I’d have gone, too. Where
he goes, I go.”
“I wonder what Mr. Fisherman
would have thought,” laughed
Nancy, “if he had hauled up a fairy
man on his line.”
“Oh, that’s all right," nodded
Pennywinkle. “He’d have thrown
me back into the water as soon as he
saw my badge. This badge that the
Fairy Queen gave me protects me
from all harm, you know. If iti
hadn’t been for that the sharks'
and the dog-fish and all the rest of
them would have had me at a bite i
long ago.”

SERT
' By Sister Mary
DRUNES are one of the most deli
* cious of the dried fruits if prop- ’
eriy cooked, .’l.-iey are also econmo-'
cal and wholesome. Serve them forl
breakfast at least twice a week and
use them for desserts for dinner.
Always thoroughly wash all dried
fruit through many waters. No mat
ter how carefully' the fruit is dried
and packed it is impossible for it to i
be clean. Any dried fruit that is to be i
used without Stewing should have
bciling water poured over it and be i
allowed to stand in scalding water 1
for five minutes.
Breakfast Prunes
One pound prunes, 1 lemon, 1-2
cup sugar, water.
i Wash prunes through four or five \
waters. Put in cold water to cover
and let stand three or four hours j
Then cook in the same water until
tender. Wash the lemon and cut in
thin slices. Add this to the prunes
when they are put on to cook. Let
the prunes simmer slowly rather
than boil rapidly during the cooking.
The sugar may be added during the
- last half hour of cooking if the
i prunes are the tart variety. If sweet
■prunes are being stewed stir not
1 more than 1-3 cup sugar in when re
moving from fire. It will take al
most two hours to stew the prunes.
Luncheon Prunes
One-half pound (22) prunes, 1-2
. cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, one
tablespoon butter. 2 1-2 tablespoons
almond (blanched and shredded), 3
i eggs, 1-8 teaspoon salt.

“I jij .t stopped to inquire how she

‘‘She is—upset; in bad condition,”
I said.
"I feel guilty—as hell,” earnestly.
Philip was sitting on the divan
and I was beside him.
“I didn’t realize what destruction
