ELLEN ADAIR'S ADVENTURES
She Goes to Stay With Pleasant Friends, Who Take
Her to a Gay Little Dinner Party,
XXVllt.
The advice that had been tendered me
by New England's spinster lllled me -with
a strange disquiet Yet why should I be
affected In the least by any such gratul
tou Information? No doubt It was per
fectly two. A man of such attractive
ness as Mr. Dennlston could win hearts
wherever he chose. This -wealthy girl to
whom he was reputed engaged was very
lucky and In my heart I really tried to
wish her happiness.
Sincerity toward oneself Is very hard.
Wei women hate to acknowledge such
things as envy or Jealousy. Yet this In
formation that had been suddenly thrust
upon me hurt mo In a vague, blind way.
What was the matter with myself? I
asked angrily. Surely on a two days'
acquaintance this attractive man had
gained no permanent hold on my fancy!
I resolved to put him out of my thoughts.
A couple of days later I received my
dinner Invitation. The party was a small
one, and to be held in the Bellevue-Strat-ford.
I decided to refuse my Invitation,
and sat down to pen a polite and formal
little note.
Just as I was sealing the envelope a
visitor was ushered in. It proved to be
my kind little hostess of the other night.
"My dear," she cried, "have you heard
about this delightful little dinner? Of
courso you are going! No, don't be
ridiculous, child! 1 shall take It as a per
sonal slight If you refuse to Join us all!
I came round to talk about clothes."
"I havo nothing fit to wear," 1 said, In
a dull voice. "I really cannot go."
"Please don't be absurd!" cried the lit
tle woman. "This dinner Is got up en
tirely In your honor, if jou only knew
HI Georpro Dennlston has been round to
ate me about It I have guaranteed that
you will come, and come uu shall! I'll
lend you a gown."
"It Is very kind of you
but ically I
could not accept It,"
hotly.
"Pride, pride, what
pride Is!" cried she.
said, blushing
a dreadful thing
"well, then, you
foolish child, I have another suggestion
to make. My dressmaker Is coming to
sew for me tomorrow, and will work for
three days. Your present position at the
office Is over tomorrow. I want you to
come and stay with me for a while, and
my dressmaker will make you a gown for
the dinner. Now. don't refuse again! You
can pay her yourself."
I thanked the kindly little creature, and
agreed to accept her delightful Invitation.
As for the dinner party, I did not antici
pate much pleasure there.
"You have made such a hit with George
Dennlston, my dear," continued the vola
tile little lady. "I think surprising things
will be happening soon!"
"Please don't Imagine anything of the
sort," I said at once, trying to speak It
a very light tone. "I cannot understand
why he bothers to include me In the party
THE MAGIC OF
THE MOVIES
The Modern Girl Must Take Care of
Her Eyes and .Avoid Overstraining
Them at Picture Shows
5My' dear," cried a young girl the other
evening to her best girl-friend, "I am
simply longing to go with you to the
movies tonight, but I am afraid I can
not go. Ycu see, my eyes get so dread
fully sore whenever I go thre, and when
I como home afterwards they ache for
quite an age. I really don't know what
to do about It, because as you already
know, I am Just crazy to go!"
"Why, Dorothy," replied the other girl,
"you should adopt my plan. My eyes
used to get very tired, too, through going
so frequently to see moving pictures. So
I thought It over, and bought these am
ber-colored glasses. I know they do not
look very pretty when thoy are worn,
but nobody really notices them In the dim
flight of the theatre. It docs relievo the
strain very greatly, and I do not got
headaches at all now."
"How curious," said Dorothy, "I wonder
why those amber glasses have that effect.
Do you know?"
"I think that what hurts the eyes most
Is the violet and ultra-violet rays pro
jected by the electric arc light. The
flickering of the pictures on th screen
Is rather trying, too, but tho harmful
ness of tho violet rays can be done away
with by the wearing of these amber
colored glasses. They neutralize the hurt
ful rays. Do vou see. Dorothy?"
"Yes. I do." said the othet, thoughtfully.
"It seems a very good plan. Let's go
right off Just now and get a pair for me.
and then we can go straight ahead to
the moving-picture show."
What Other
Housewives Know
How to Make Shirred Eggs.
The materials required are six eggs and
one tablespoonful of chopped parsley.
Take six cups and break one egg Into
each cup. Put each Into the oven and
bake from five to eight minutes. If
tho even is not ready to receive them, or
js too cool, place the cups In a pudding
pan of hot water on the outside of the
stove. Put the lid on the pan and let
the water boll for from three to five min
utes. Sprinkle the top of each egg with
parsley. The results wilt prove excellent.
Creamed Bacon on Toast
The above Is a delightful and most
tasty dish. Take half a pound of thinly
sliced bacon and place It In a hot pan.
Fry until It Is nice and crisp. Remove
most of the drippings, then sprinkle about
a. tablespoonful of flour over It carefully
and mil. Now add a oup of cold milk
slowly, and let the whole ooll slowly for
three minutes, stirring most of the time.
Then serve the cruamed bacon on four
jdeces or toast and garnish with sprigs
of parsley.
The Successful Sauce
The transformation of a scanty or
kadly cooked dish by a good sauce Is an
old-establlahed fact. The Freneh chef
has the gatat faith In the power of
sauce, and the American housewife has
adopted bis view to a great exteot.
Great cr must be taken In the mak
ing of the- sauce. The must trifling little
errors will completely ruin It- What Is

at all. Of courso you know that he Is
engaged to be married, don't you?"
"Indeed I don't," she cried, aghast,
"Wherever did you hear such a thing?"
"I know nothing about him," I said,
"but let me tell you that ho Is In no way
Interested In me. If you think such
things, you will only make mo feci un
comfortable." "Tut, tut!" she cried, In an Amused
voice. "Well, then, 1 won't tease you
any more. I shall expect you at my
houte tomorrow night," and off ihe
hurried.
The following days were busy ones
yet t had time to feel vaguely unhapri'
I did not try to guess the reason why.
The Idea of the dinner party did not
appeat to me in the very least. I felt
sure that the girl of Mr. Dennlston'
choice would be there, and somehow It
was a dreadfully wrong spirit 1 did not
wish to meet her!
My new dinner gown was fashioned by
the dressmaker, and was beautiful bo
yond words. It was of pale pink put In
and It fell In shccnlest, softest fold.
When the evening of the dinner came 1
gazed at the new Image of myself In tin
glass and wondered If this radiant rilrl
could really bo the sad, dispirited Ellii
Adair of only a few daye ago. Why, I
looked almost beautiful!
My spirits rose at tho very sight of
that brilliant image In tho glass. 'Tins
feathers, not good looks at all!" said I
to the girl In the mirror. Yet In spite of
this stern discipline, I felt a new elation
such as 1 had not felt for many a day.
"My child," cried my little hostess, ns
I slowly descended tho winding stalrcns
to the hall, "you look perfectly bewitch
ing tonight! You will literally turn
everybody's head at the dinner!"
It Is a strange, but none the less true
fact, that we all like compliments. Th's
compliment, although I realized that it
was untrue, did please me.
The brother and Bister ushered me out
to the waiting taxi, and we set off. My
cheeks felt very flushed and hot. I
began to wish that the evening were over.
Tho Bcllevuo-Stratford soon was
reached. In all the long mirrors every
where I saw reflected a slim girl In u
pink satin gown, with very flushed cheeks
and very bright eyes. Could this bo
really I?
A waiter ushered us Into a private din
ing room, and the first person that I saw
was Mr. Dennlston, tall and distinguished
In his conlng clothes. Ho Is tho hand
somest man that I have over ween.
Beside him stood a very pretty girl,
and he was smiling down at her with
the most fascinated, attentive air. Tho
sight of them together gave me a sud
den sharp stab of pain. How foolish I
was'
When he caught sight of our party ho
hurried forward to welcome Us nt once.
"Good evening. Miss Adair," ho said to
me. "a friend of yours Is here tonight."
nnd turning, indicated a tall, dark man.
My heart gave one wild beat, then al
most stopped from sheer surprise. It
was mv Sussex friend of days gone by
the English artist man!
Milady's Toilet Table
Blackheads are a source of great annoy
ance to many women, and varied causes
give rise to this unfortunate condition.
An inactive skin Is a frequent agent In
creating them. Every night before go
ing to bed. the wlsef woman will follow
out the following hint. A good cleans
ing cream should be made up thus:
Whits ael!n 1 or.
Whit -nax 1 oz.
Oil of snect almonds -t oz.
Extract of Wolets 10 drops
Take a small portion of this cream on
tho tips of the fingers, nnd rub It well
Into the face and neck with a rotary,
gentle movement. Great care must be
taken to massage gently and with not
too great energy. Then wipe the cream
off carefully, with n soft clean towel,
preferably with an old silk handkerchief.
Next apply the following blackhead lo
tion: Borarls acid oz.
Alcohol 2 o.
Itoso water 4 oz.
Leave this blackhead lotion on all night.
In the morning, use toilet water on the
face Instead of ordinary water. If neces
sary, the eyes can be bathed with cold
water, but not tho face. A good recipe
for toilet water Is as follows:
Elrlerflower water 2 oz.
DUtlllca water S oz.

Outward beauty Is often but a reflection
of the soul within. The weary heart goes

True happiness can be cultivated. It

The value of such is Inestimable.
Keep up the spirit of the country In

CHARMING NOVELTIES FOR AUTUMN
Woman's Drudgery vs. Man's
By MRS, CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author "The New Housekeeping"
I know and am willing to admit that
woman has and has had a great deal of
drudgery to do In tho home. She haa
spun flnx, made apple butter, baked bil
lions of pics, brought up trillions of
babies, I would not bo competent to list
the different kinds and degrees of drudg
ery to which women have been subjected
through nil the ages.
Nevertheless, I believe In a spirit of
fairness, and I want todny to say some
thing about the drudgery of men. You
have all heard .many women tails as If
drudgery was a quality of work confined
solely to dish washing, mopping floors
nnd bathing babies.
But I want you to consider a moment
If while woman haa been occupied with
these tasks of drudgery man has not at
tho same time been taking his share of
them? The average woman talks as If all
work In the homo were drudgery nnd
that all work In shop, factory and office
wore play. She bees her hueband depart
In the morning, and In her mind she
thinks ho partakes In a moving picture of
agreeable daily tasks In a standardized
ofllco or shop whero conditions nre 100
per cent, perfect, whllo she stays at homo
Incarcerated In a kitchen, doomed to a
round of routine labor.
I think this Is a totally unfair nnd
biased view. In tho first place, every
mnn from boyhood haa Instilled Into him
tho responsibility of supporting a family,
and that responsibility Is, In Itself, drudg
ery. Not nearly as many women have
instilled Into them, from childhood, the
responsibility of managing a home and
thinking of assuming the responsibility of
efficient home management. Whllo their
brothers are learning In business or fac
tory they m3y bo only butterflies, or at
least not seriously considering training
for their future responsibilities.
Again, how many, many men In tho
ordinary occupations and positions ara
absolutely slaves to a system, and only
cogs In the wheels of big business? Hun
dreds and hundreds of clerks add up
CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS
SEND OUT APPEAL FOR AID
With Winter Coming on They Face
Financial Crisis,
An appeal to all Phlladelphlans on be
half of those In distress Is made by six
charitable organizations of the city so
they may care for the unfortunates this
winter.
It Is pointed out In the appeal, sent out
by It, M. Little, general secretary of tha
Society for Organizing Charity, that a
financial crisis faces all charitable or
ganizations, largely because of the Euro
pean war. Mr. Little and his fellow of
ficials of other organizations suggest that
the Mayor and Councils continue work
on all city contracts which will give em
ployment to the needy, and also urge that
tho people generally realize the condition
of affaire and sacrifice luxuries In order
that the poor may live. A voluntary war
tax Is suggested on luxuries, grand opera
and theatre tickets. The societies an
nounce their treasuries are exhausted,
and say their borrowing capacity Is lim
ited. The appeal Is signed by the following
societies:
Union Benevolent Association, Philip
H. White, superintendent.
Hume Missionary Society. W. Arthur
Warner, superintendent.
Protestant Episcopal City Mission, II.

walks of life, are lied down by routine
and discipline to oversee other employes,
to superintend, to cnecx up, to nanuie a
thousand dry, uninteresting details, mere
ly because they must do It in order to
Eupoprt a family?
So often women have shown In their
talks that they think every man In every
Job Is doing what ho really wants to do.
that thing which best expresses himself.
On the contrary, statistics show .that nlne
tenths of the men In all positions aro
thero not because they wnnt to be, or
becauso they are particularly fitted for
It, but simply and solely because they
are doomed to be, and Btay whore they
nre In order to earn enough money to
live.
It Is true that many tasks In the homo
havo been pure "chores," but, then, too,
certainly many tasks out of the home as
performed by man are no different. Even
standing hour after hour and operating
a high-class machine may be drudgery.
So I feel that this attitude about work
which many women, especially married
women, have Is entirely unfair. J think,
frankly, that It Is only an excuse to
escape from responsibility; because they
do not like to do something, they call it
drudgery and refuse to undertake It.
What would happen If all the men who
hated their Jobe refused to do their
work? The solution will be to develop
mare Intelligence, In both sexes, so that
drudgery In both men's work and wom
en's work will be eliminated as much as
possible.

Each year novelties appear, the thistle

The essentials of dress, however, come
back to us each season, tricked out In ft
new bravery that elves them the mere
tricious charm of novelty to cloak the r

HOUSEWIFE AND
HER MARKETING
There Is etlll time for the housewife
who has been away nit summer to fill
the shelves of her preserve closet. Late
peaches and pears, yellow tomatoes, an
occasional watermelon or citron, and
grapes galore aro still In market, while
quinces are Just beginning to come In
In abundance.
Both green and ripe tomatoes are avail
able In quantities for chopped pickle of
various kinds, and wilt bo "until frost
catches them." as a market woman ex
pressed It tho other day. Peppers are
also cheap and plentiful, though onlortS
aro rather scarco and certainly higher
thnn usual Cabbage Is, of course, al
ways with us, string beans aro still In
market, nnd that best part of mixed
pickle to many palates cauliflower Is
Just making Its snowy-headed appearance
on market benches.
Many housewives nre arguing that tho
high cost of sugar makes home preserv
ing a doubtful economy, but as "bought
en" preserves will undoubtedly cost more
than usual the coming winter, tho situ
ation Is practically unchanged. Where
time Is no object It certainly seems worth
whllo to make preserves In tho homo, es
pecially If there are growing children to
devour them.
In preserving, as In all forms of cook
ery, the essential thing Is to be reudy
before actually beginning work. Tho
housewife will savo both time and nerv
ous wear and tear by having on hand all
the sugar, lemons, splccs-and vinegar
she will require, to say nothing of enough
Jars and new rubbers, Jelly glasses or
other containers, before the preparation
Of fruit is undertaken.
Brandled peaches Instead of peeling,
place Whltehcath peaches for three min
utes In scalding water In which a small
lump of washing soda has been dissolved.
The skins can then be rubbed oft easily
with a coarse towel, leaving smooth, firm
fruit. Drop peaches, a few at a time,
Into a syrup made of five parts of gran
ulated sugar to ono of water, nnd boll
until they can be pierced with a clean
straw. Take from the syrup, cool, and
arrange In glass Jars. When the peaches
have nil been cooked, let the syrup boll
until It Is qulto thick, then cover peaches
with equal parts of syrup and white
brandy, nnd seal. This Is by no means
hurry-up work, as only a small quantity
of fruit can be handled at a tlmo.
A quince recipe from nn old cookery
book published In 1738 Is not only Inter
esting because of its qualntness, but
makes a good preserve. As "pippin
liquor" Is undoubtedly elder, It shows
that tho popular apple-quince combina
tion existed from earliest times.
"To make whole quinces white Take
the largest quinces of the greenest color
and scald them till they are pretty soft;
then pare them and core them with a
scoop; then weigh your quinces against
so much doublo refined sugar, and make
a syrup of one-hair, and put In your
quinces and boll them as fast aH you
can: then you must have In readiness
pippin liquor; let It be very strong of
the pippins, and when It Is strained out,
put in the other half of your sugar, and
make It a Jelly, and when your quinces
clear put them Into the Jelly and let
them simmer a little; they will be very
white; so, glass them up. nnd when they
nre cold, paper them and keep them In
a stove." From the author's use of
"stove" throughout the book. It must
have been the old name for our present
storeroom. He Invariably uses "Are" as
the place where the cooking Is done.

attractions of rol-iois and fripperies that

One of the accessories of dress that Is
centuries old, yet that reappears every
season In very attractive form, Is the
rucho. It Is capable of so many varia
tions that It tan be worn qulto generally
and to the plain tallor-mado Biilt it ',
often an effective addition. Tho one
sketched today Is a charming affair, a
double ruffle of dark blue taffeta caught
and held In the centre with violets ahd
roses. With tho ruche Is a hat of velvet
on which Is set a smart bow of tho taf
feta, with violets and a rose In place of
the knot.
A ruche and hat to match nre featured
extensively this year. Tho hat and muff
of the same material aro also offered by
the best shops. The muff pictured Is of
taffeta, an elaboration of a ruffle motive
that is dainty and attractlvo In Its effect,
The hat that accompanies the muff Is a

WIDOW TELLS
TALE OF HER OWN
RESOURCEFULNESS
Being left n. widow with a child to sup
port, I took a position In a largo depart
ment store, selling stockings.
Hero I concentrated every effort on
success In my work. I studied the stock
carefully, asked questions of tho buyer,
learned to compaie and know thoroughly
the differences In quality and cut. I
consulted books on cottons, merinos, silks
and dyes. Of course, I loso rapidly over
the younger and more indifferent sales
women, until I was assistant buyer.
Unfortunately, tho confinement and lack
of fresh air began to toll on my health.
Consulting a physician, I was told that
I must Immediately give up" my position
and find some out-door work. . I demur
red. He pointed out to mo that my little
girl was friendless In the world once I
should be taken from her, and that I must
guard my health and life as Hrst duty.
Ten days later, on a Saturday night, I
left the store.
All day Sunday I worried over the fu
ture of myself and my child. Do ou
know what it is to be a woman, un
employed, and to have the support of a
child your first caro in life?
By evening, I tried to look at my prob
lem In a calm, disinterested way to "take
stock" of myself, so to speak. I found
the stock pretty low. I waa a good sales
woman, but I must not sell Indoors. I
knew one lino of goods thoroughly stock
ings. In my capacity of assistant buyer,
I knew the principal stocking makers in
America. Light began to dawn.
Next morning I started on a tour of
the big stocking mills In the city In which
I lived. During tho week I visited them
all, showed a knowledge of Sea Island,
Egyptian and Peeler cottons, of llsles,
silks nnd mercerizing processes, of dyes
and wools, cuts nnd weaves. At a touch
I was able to "value" many stockings.
Identical to the eye.
I mado a favorable impression and had
several offers us outsldo seller. My de
cision tcok thought and comparison.
Finally, I accepted a position which,
whllo it did not offer mo tho highest
salary of the lot, included a percentage on
sales and my carfares.
I began In prlvnto houses, selling high
grade stockings lower than tho stores
could afford to, as the goods came
straight from mill to consumer. At first,
the list of names was supplied by tha
manufacturers. Then I added a few old
friends, who recommended me to others,
and I also hail quite a following of cus
tomers from my old store patrons
I saw that the firm stood behind all Its
goods, and I loBt no customers once I
had gained their confidence. My trado
has grown rapidly, I make many friends,
and am considered ono of tho firm's Al
salesmen. Recently several of the large
department stores havo been given to me.
among them my former place of employ
ment. I wouldn't go back for the world
Twice my salary has been raised, but I
enjoy my commission most of all. It
seems so absolutely mine. Besides, I put
It all Into an annuity Insurance for old
age, and live on my salary.
My health Is perfect, and I am content
I represent an honest Arm, and I have
"mado good."
