WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW THINGS
: ELLEN ADAIR'S ADVENTURES
I The Dinner Party Brings a Variety of Reflections
and a Different Point of View,
I XXVIII.
The sheer put prise of meeting my long-thought-ot
friend, the English nrtlst
rnan that evening nt the Hollcvuc-Strat-ford,
quite- took my breath away. I stood
for a moment In amazement, forgetful of
everything else In the utter unexpected
ness of the meeting.
He, on the contrary, seemed consider-
, nbly less amazed Unit t was. With a
genuine cngerncss ho sprang forward. "I
nm more thnn delighted to meet you.
little- Miss Adair." he cried, In tones of
pleasure thnt were mo'l flattering to me.
'Inm to he your dinner partner for tho
evenlng-lf you will have me! It was
pimply splendid of Dennlston arranging
that I should meet you like this'"
It seemed Just like a dream to me. c
all went In to dinner, and In a vnejuo
way I seemed to hear the artist talking.
At first mv wandering w Its did not qulto
take in Just what h was snyltig. After a
i few momenta had elapsed I realized that
. he was speaking of Hnglnml and my Sua
ecx home.
"I was dreadfully sorry to hear of your
mother's death." he said; "the news of II
only came to me three days ngn. when I
heard from DennHtnn thnt you were In
America. I have been In Philadelphia for
over a yenr, you know.'
"Thnt docs seem strange." t answered,
when you were In Sussex you did not
have any Idea of coming over to this
country, had you?"
"Well, no." said he. "I went to Rome
Just after h-avlnp Sussex. I met some
Americans then- and, getting tho offer of
n. really good position, I decided to como
over to this country, t meant to look you
up before I came, but could not manage
to do so as I sailed direct from Italy to
Amcrlcn."
He nsked me many questions about my
eld home. Then he Inquired particularly
about my doings and myself. "I always
thought that you had tho makings of u
very flno character. Mls Adair." said
he, "and now I think you have proved
It I hope I trut that we shall see a
great deal of each other In the future."
I think a year ago this proposition
would have rilled me with a vety great
happiness. Why did it now rouse but a
mild plasur" I ecrtnlnh was glad, very
Kind, to se him once again. Old memo
ries a eon of homesick longing, were
awakened hv the very sight of him. t
thought him no whit less pleasant than
before. Ho had the same kind, genial
look and yet
"I think your thoughts are wool gath
ering now." said ho at my elbow. "You
nre a different girl today from the little
English girl who used to live a carefree
existence on the Sussex downs."
"She was a very foolish person, and

RED TOMATO CATSUP.
The following Ingredients are re
quired: Two white onions, 40 small to
' mutoes, one red pepper, ono cupful of

Wash tho tomatoes carefully, nnd cut
" them Into pieces, but do not skin them.
Put onions and seeded pepper through

It Is sometimes rather difficult to dis-

to dip either a clean stick or tho handle

It will be a simple matter to ascertain
the final depth, and compare It with the

A Singer's Experience

out by reports sent out of Austria about

"The reports were greatly exaggerated,"
said the singer, who recently arrived

hurriedly.
"I il not wish to think that," the artist
man replied gravely, "because that little
English girl was r very attractive, un
sophisticated sort of person, and I liked
her tremendously. I should hale to lose
her altogether. She was a very fresh
nnd charming girl "
"f wns asleep In those old days," I
said, "and now I have wakened lip,
that's nil."
' The chrysalis has emerged Into a verv

gallant air.
"1 like you better when you do not talk
that way," t said. "In the old days you
did not malie those pretty Rpeeehes."
I may have thought them, alt the
Same," said he.
To change the subject tt embarrassed
me I nsked a question, "you are a
friend of Mr. Dennlrton's, you said?"
"Why. yes, of course. He Is a splendid
fellow, and has been very kind to mo."
t could not refrain from looking ncross
tho table at tho subject of our conversa
tion. He had for dinner partner tho very
pretty girl whom ho had been tnlklng
with Ro deferentially at our entrance. A
fudden pang shot through me nt the

Tho nrtlst-man followed the direction

he. "but not so pretty as nnother girl I
know a llttlo Hngllsh girl who used to bo

I hardly seemed to hear his words. "I
think her very pretty; she Is Mr. Den

When It was over, Mr. Dennlston camo
to me. "I do hope you have had a good

Just with these words tho nrtlBt-man

Mr. Dennlston moved off immediately

Milady's Toilet Table
Many nnd varied are the causes of
falling hair, and the woman who values
her own appearance Is naturally much
troubled and annoyed ovor such a
catastrophe.
This defect can be remedied, and the
following is an excellent tonic which will
tone up the ncalp nnd stop the falling
of the hair. A mixture Is formed of half
a pint of alcohol, half a pint of water
and 1 ounce of beta-qulnol. The three
Ingredients should be well shaken to
gether. Hub the mixture well Into the
roots of the hair, taking care not to
use too much force, as the scalp Is verv
sensitive. Its application with a smail
sponge Is to be recommended.
Another excellent euro for falling hair
Is as follows: Mix 1 oz. of beta-qulnol
In a pint of bay rum, then apply to the
scalp cnrcfully.
Excessive perspiration Is a most an
noying trouble. Applications of hydro
Ilzed talc will prov3 offlencloUB. It is
both cooling nnd delightful to use, Is
very cheap and will counteract nll( un
pleasantness arising from perspiration.
Dandruff In tho hair Ih another annoy
ing trouble. Its only cure lies In dissolu
tion. No amount of scnlp scrubbing with
soap will remove dandruff, because of
tho alkali tho boap contains An ex
cellent remedy Is eggol. Put a"teaspoon
ful of this Into a. cup of hot water,
then apply carefully to the scalp. It
will at once dissolve nil fatty accumula
tions, and leave the head both Invigor
ated nnd free, from dandruff.
Perpetual Youth
An old Iftdy, who managed to retain an
appearance much younger than her years,
with a bright eye and a smooth, health
ful skin, although her age was over TO,
was naked how she contrived to rataln
her physical charms. This was her
reply:
"I know how to forget disagreeable
things..
"I tried to master the art of saying
pleasant things.
"I did not expect too much of my
friends.
"I kept my nerves well in hand, nnd
did not allow them to bore other people.
"I tried to find congenial any work that
came to hand.
"I retained tha itluslons of my youth,
and did not bolleve 'every man a, liar'
and ever' woman spiteful.
"I did my best to relieve the mtfery I
came In contact with and sympathized
with the suffering.
"In fact, I tried to do to others as I
would be dona by, and you saa ma in
consequence reaping tho fruits of happi
ness and a peaceful old age."
There are many of us who might do
woria than begin to try that old lady'.t
coda of behavior and see If, after a year
Of diligently practicing Its preempts, we
agree with her mothod of Insuring per.
petual youth.
A Hint About Lamps
When the lamp wick la too large for
the burner and does not turn up readily,
drawing a. few threads from the middle
of the wick, instead of cutting down tha
sides, Is more satisfactory, as It keeps the
wick from raveling.

DINNER DRESS OF GRAY SATIN AND TULLE
Betrothal Customs
There nro many curious betrothal cus
toms In Germany that are found in no
place else In the world. As soon as a
German girl Is betrothed she Is addressed
as "bride" by her fiance. The betrothal
Is a more ferlous affair than In England,
and Is not so easily broken.
Immediately upon the betrothal the
lovers exchango rings, which. If tho course
of true low runs smooth, are to be worn
ever afterwards. The woman wears her
betrothal ring on tho third linger of her
left hand until she Is married, and then
it is transferred to tho thhd finger of
her right hand. The man continues to
wear his ring Just as the wife wore hers
when sho waj a bride.

As the summer sun filtered through
the Ince curtains, the boarding house sit
ting room looked almost cozy and attrac
tive. Tho brightness and comfort thawed
the heart of the oldest lodger.
In an expannlvo moment ho turned
toward the landlady, who was. his only
companion In the room, and, clasping her
hands fondly, murmured:
"Will you be my wife, dearest?"
The woman did not start nor blush. No
maidenly coyness shona from her clear,
cold eyes.
' "No sir," Bho replied, with calm de
liberation. "I'm sorry, but I cannot marry
you. You've been here four years, and
aro much too good a boarder to be put
on the free list "
Mind Over Matter
A Christian Scientist found ft small boy
rittlng under an apple tree doubled up
with pain.
"I ate some green apples," moaned the
boy, "and, oh, how I do ache!"
"You don't ache," answered th C. S.i
"you only thnk so."
"That's all right." paid the boy; "you
may think so, but I've got Inside In
formation." A Useful Hint
To remove paper labels from old bottles
easily, wet the face of the label with
water and hold It for an Instant over any
convenient flame. The steam formed
penetrates the label at once and softens
the paste.
Removal of Stains
Stains on blankets and other woollen
goods may be removed by a mixture of
equal parts of glycerine and yolk of egg.
Spread the mixture over tho stain, leave
It half an hour, and then wash the article
cs usual.
Unflattering
A weird-looking lady had been address
ing a somewhat hostile meeting, and In
conclusion said, "Now, do I make myself
perfectly plain?"
A voice from the back of the hall "I
don't know. Somebody must have done
It."
The Care of Oilcloth
After washing oilcloth and linoleum be
sure to dry It properly If left damp it
will speedily rot, and finally become to
tally spoiled. It Is a great mistake to use
too much water for washing It Thp clo'h
should mereiy be wrung out sd passed

The Cult of
Advice Which Will Bring Health
The beautifying effects of cold water
cannot be overestimated. From tho health
point of viow, also, Its value Is very
high. If only women would realize the
necessity of drinking ft glassful of water
tho first thing In tho morning and the
last thing nt night there would be fewer
nervous breakdowns and Infinitely fewer
doctors' bills to pay.
It la well to form the habit of drinking
water freely between meals. The com
plexion will be vastly Improved after a.
cours-e of this, and the general health
will be greatly benefited. '
The cold tub In the morning has a
splendid tonic action on the system. Many
women, however, claim that they can
not stand the shock of the cold water.
The Response Literal
The Sunday-school teacher was talk
ing to her puptla on patience. She ex
plained her toplo carefully, and, aa an
nld to understanding, she gave eaoh pupil
a card bearing the picture of a boy fish
ing. 'Even pleasure," she said, "requires the
exercise of patience. See the boy fishing:
ha must elt and wait and wait. He must
be patient."
Having treated the subject very fully
she began with tha simplest, moat prac
tical question!
"And now can any little hoy tell me
what we need most when we go fishing?"
The answer was quickly shouted with
one voice:
"Bait!"

Cold Water
and Happiness Into the Home
If such be the case, and a warm bath be
tnken instead, it should always be fol
lowed by the cold shower. Tho water
from the shower can be gradually cooled,
so that no shock at all will be experienced
from the carefully graduated change of
temperature.
The drinking of Ice water Is not to be
advised. All extremes of both heat and
cold are to be avoided. The digestive
organs will be weakened If too muoli Ice
water Is taken. Cold spring water has a
most beneficial action on the system and
should he freely taken.
Every woman should determine to pre
serve her health and beauty, and to this
end the cult of cold water is most heart
ily recommended.

Jungle Monkey Girl
An amazing discovery, which recalls
the story of Mowgll In Rudyard Kip
ling's "Junglo Book," has been made In
India. In tho Jungle near Nnlna Tal a
wild-looking crenture, apparently a hu
man fomnlo child, has been found.
That she Is human la proved by the
fact that thoro are vaccination marks on
both arms, but exposure to tho elements
has cnused a thick growth of hair down
ench sldo of the fnco nnd spine, which
mnkes her nppenrnnce more like that of
a monkey than a human being.
Thero Is evldonce to show sho has nl
ways walked upright, but her sitting
posture Is that of n monkey, ns nre nil
her actions. She was very frightened
when first caught, and cried nnd whim
pered. She would cat only grass nnd
raw potatoes, but later was Induced to
take bread and milk. Sho Is, of course,
unablo to talk, but there Is no doubt
that she can hear.
Everything points to tho conclusion
that she was abandoned in Infancy and
monkoys were her foster-parents. Nn
tlves In tho baBaar, however, declare that
tho child was reared by bears.

carry n girl a long way, and Dorothy
does flatter the men In tho most blatant
fashion."
"What I object to so much," said the
Hostess, wrinkling her brows perplexedly,
"Is tho manner In which she collects all
tho other girl's men-friends around her.
Now, yesterday afternoon, that nice fel
low Jim Smith was nnxlous to take Mary
for a walk, nnd ho asked ma to help
him to arrange It. He has been in lovo
with Mary for months and months, but
she keeps him rather nt n distance, and
the poor fellow Is dreadfully hy any
how!" "What happened to out tho course of
true love short?" said tho other, laughing
"Why, Dorothy, of course," nnswerod
the Hostess, emphatically. "That girl Is
really bare-faced! She knows perfectly
well that Jim Is head over ears In love
with Mury, and sho saw him hurry out
of the house to overtake Mary on her
afternoon stroll. But Dorothy llternlly
cannot bear to seo another girl set at
tention from n, man, and so sho niBhed
to get her coat and hat, too, ran down
the road nfter Jim and told him that
sho had to mall a letter at the village

Chats With the
Business Girlj
The preservation of her health should
bo tho first caroof the Business Girl.
Lack of proper exercise combined with
ml lll-UilvaDU ii. uiu jcuuiug luciors in. i
the freauent nervous breakdowns wmi. 4
beset that young woman's pathway. I
If the Business Girl would only decide
to rlso half nn hour earlier In the morn-
,lng, and Instead of taking a trolley car 1
to her work, would walk tho whole way i
Instcnd, sho would be. nn Infinitely health- i
Icr person. Freedom from that "tired
feeling" she so often complains of would
at once result, nnd she would go through '
tho day with a brighter outlook and a. ,
utetircr uriim,
The Business Girl's lunch Is nnothei
faotor thnt works ngalnst her health.'
She frequently finds that she has not
much nppctlto for It, and out of a. varied
menu frequently selects tho cheapest and
most IndlgeBtlblo dishes, It la a surpris
ing but nono tho less tttlo fact that many
girls will lunch on Ico cream and choco
latn eclairs and orangendo nnd then ex
pect to keep well nnd strong, fluch
foolishness lnevltnbly results In an lm.
pnlrcd dlgestlvo system.
Tho "early-to-bed" habit Is to be meat
strongly advocated in tho case of the
Business Girl. It Is a sheer Impossibility,
to burn tho candle nt both ends. Each
girl who earns her own living should try
to be In bed each night not later than
half-past 10, Hor work will then bring
her more pleasure, her health will im!.
prove nnd Buccesa will como to her surely
nnd steadily. Tomporance In nil things,
combined with regularity In everything,
nro rules of tho very highest value In
the schedule of tho Business Girl's lift.
Not Where Johnnie Was
As n, young man wab walking along
reading the ovonlng newspaper ho was.
nccosted by an old lady who neemed Inter-
ested 'In Jho war.
"Any news from tho front, young manf
sho exclaimed. "r
"Not much," he replied. "Big battle
In progress."
"Well, thank heaven," she said, "that
It's not In Belgium, where mv tw.
Johnnie Is gone."
Stained Knife-handle
To remove stains from knlfo-handlei
nnd nlso to keep tho Ivory from turn
ing yellow, rub tho handles woll with a
cut lemon; nftcrwnrds wnsh well in soap
nnd wntcr nnd dry immediately. This re
moves the stains and keeps tho Ivory a
good color.

postolllce, and would he come with her,
as sho felt so nervous on tho country
loads nlono?"
"My dear, ho could hardly refuse a plei ,
sucli as that, could be?" said tho Hostess"
friend. ,
"No, ho scarcely could," said the
Ho.itcss, "although ho was dreadfully dis
appointed about missing Mary. The post
olllco lies in tho direction opposlto to
the road that Mury had tnken. Jim did
suggebt that ho would take the letter
later on his blrycle, but Dorothy Insisted
thnt tho mall left In half nn hour, nnd
thnt the letter wns so Important she must
innll it herself.
"In tho evening It was tho samo tiling,"
continued ahe. "Dorothy Insisted that
Jim piny nil her nccompnnlments. It
mndo mo simply furious. I always think
of the spider nnd her web when I see
Dorothy trying to attract nil tho men
nrounil her. Thnt girl ennnot benr to see
tho other girls get any attention. I don't
Intend to ask her back hero again."
Tho Hostess' friend pondered for a mo
ment. "I do not think thnt Dorothy;
really means to be unkind." sho said,'
nt length, "she loves to , exert her power,
nifd show the other girls that she is
cloveier, mom attractive than they are.
Yet she has spoiled many budding little
romances by her thoughtlessness."
"I think that tho word selfishness Is
more applicable) to Dorothy's case," re
pllod the Week-end Hostess, grimly.
