MARRIAGE AS
A PROFESSION
ELLEN
Thero Is ft certain type of girt who re
gards marriage as a profession. She used
to flourish everywhere at one period. Now,
happily, she Is only Infrequently to be en
countered. But she Is stilt with us, nil
the same,
This sort of girl falls to comprehend
that marriage Is the hardest and tho worst
profession that Is open to women. More
training and more accomplishments ore
required for It than for any other busi
ness under the sun. Moreover, onco It Is
entered upon n girl cannot quit If sho
doesn't like tho Job. No, sho has to stick
right there to tho bitter end; unless, of
coiiree, sho chooses to drag things
through tho courts, which nlwaya In
volves a great deal of unpleasantness, cx
pento and endless trouble.
The girl who marries for the sake of
n homo make a very poor bid for hap
piness. Tho early Victorian maiden was
a foolish creature with whom I have no
sympathy.
Nowadays, however, there need bo no
forelorn little Cinderella sitting by tho
Ore, plaintively waiting for somo prob
lematical lover to come riding by. Not a
bit of Itl Cinderella gets up, puts on
the best gown sho can lay hands on and
goes out to look for a Job, like a sensible
Strt. When her pay envelope Is coming
regularly to her every woek she doesn't
bother about the coming of the Fairy
Prince, for she's having a very excellent
nd satisfactory time without htm.
As a matter of fact, the girl who works
for her own living meets men on such n
sane and senslblo ground that she has
very opportunity for making n very
happy and successful marriage and this
because she doesn't set out originally with
that purpose at all. Her aim Is a useful
and Interesting occupation for herself.
Men are Incidental to this. If sho meets
the right man, well and good. She will
tnarry him. If he asks her. If sho doesn't
meet tho right man, then she won't shed
tears of disappointment over It. And one
thing Is certain she won't accept a man
merely because ho Is a man who has
'"Peas Poidge Hot, "
Peas Porridge Cold"
By MBS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author of tho New llouaekeeptng;.
Even the nursery rhymes have food
value "What Is "peaso porridge" served
In either degree of temperature? Most
of the child Jingles of "Mother Goose"
originated In England or Scotland, and
so It Is to these countries that ue cun
so In search of further Information as
to "pease porridge."
There, we have found It! "IJeaso" can
be pone other than the good old-fashioned
"yellow split pea," sold In quanti
ties In these countries and In less
amounts In our own. It is the ripe seeds
of a common pea plant, dried and "split"
and sold at about 8 cents a pound. It,
too, belongs to that worthy legumo family
which gives us so much nourishment In
humble form. These dried pease, then,
are solid, condensed food value, contain
ing a large jer cent, of protein or the
same quality that we get In meat.
Most housekeepers are somewhat fa
miliar with tho boups that can be made
by soaking these peas overnight and boil
ing several hours with a tasty ham shank
or other bone to give flavor. But In these
cold days, with the price ogre hovering
rear, we should all get better acquainted
with "pease porridge." "Just a soup,"
you say. Ah, yes, but If made rightly
one of tho most delicious purees you
can eat, and one you would pay 30 cents
m. plate for in a fancy foreign hostelry.
"Why not make It at home with one
pound of peas (cost 8 cents) and that bit
of ham scrap sou were going to consign
to the garbage pall?
But even pease have possibilities. In
stead of soup the same maBs can be
boiled to a still thicker consistency, be
firmed with bread crumbs, be toned with
eu onion, pepper, bacon fat and whatnot,
and shaped into loaf. This can be baked
slowly In tho oven, and when served
hot with an appetizing tomato sauce can
be put in competition with many kinds
of meat dishes.
It is also possible to buy "pease meal"
at the better class groceries. This la
merely the flour made by grinding the
peas, and In this form It can be utilized
In various forms. As a warm breakfast
cereal or a lunch dish, particularly for
children, this "pease porridge" Is de
licious, nourishing and a pleasant change
from the usual cornstarch, taploco and
similar dishes.
This flour can also be used for making
oups when time is an element to save,
as, of course, It will cook In less time
than the solid pea. It Is this flour which
is sp greatly In use In the armies abroad,
among the Oermana especially, who are
supplied in large quantities with "erbs
trurst." These are merely sausage-like
rolls of the pea flour, seasoned and fla
vored with bacon. A small section of
the 'roll" la cut off and thrown Into
boiling water, when In about 15 minutes
the soup la ready. Even American camp
ers use erbswurst considerably yaa Bn
economical space-saving form of food
product Why does the housewife so lag
behind her men folks In taking advan
tage of a good food?
Serve It hot or cold, use the flour or
the meal, but be sure to include "pease
porridge In your winter dietary.

petual meal-tlckct. Bhe will accept him
because he Is the right man and for no
other reason.
Kor the girl who works for her own
living has tasted fully of tho Joys of In
dependence. She knows what It moans to
have her own bank account If she sees
a new gown or a new hat In the stores
that she particularly fancies, why, In she
goes nnd buys It straight away. She de
pends on nobody.
When a girl such as this ma'rles. sho
certainly gives up a good deal. Bio must
bo genuinely In love with the man of her
choice before she will sacrlflco this cry
delightful cconomlo freedom and tl e
equally delightful senso of shiro in the
world's work. Yes, of course, plenty of
work will bo waiting for her In tho noire.
Uut then it is quiet, shcltorcd surt of work
without the oxcitoment and lntorest of
meeting now people dally.
Tho girl who docs not work for her own
living Is generatly tho one who reg rds
marriage as the be-all and end-nil of ex
istence. Her parents havo piobably In
stilled the Idea Into her from Infancy. A
girl of this type had bettor bo warnol in
tlmo. The average marriage Is not alto
gether a bed of roses. It means h i d
work, and unpaid work, nnd never-easing
work. There Is tho old adngct
A man's work Is from sun to sun,
But n woman's work la never done.
Matrimonially speaking, this Is very
true. Unless thcra be lots of love in tho
question, marriage Is tho very hardest
profession n girl can enter. It offers no
rosy escape from hard Rork, as so m ny
girls fondly Imagine. Hven where tho
husband Is rich nnd many servants a o
kept, there are endless dut'es and respon
sibilities that the wife cannot possibly
avoid.
As n co-operative compact founded on
true affection, marriage Is Ideal and the
best state for everybody. But marr age
regarded as a profession and an cscare
from work nnd self-support will alwnys
prove nothing more nor less than a total
failure.
Miss Anne H. Wharton
"Yes, I am knitting for the soldiers,"
said Miss Wharton, the well-known writer
on Colonial subjects and authorees of
"Rose of Old Quebec," etc. "I send every
bit of wool and material I can get over to
the other side. I spent my summer In
England, and I know Just how great the
need Is for these things. All tho Ameri
can women seem to realize this, too, for
they are doing wonderful work toward
relieving the suffering abroad. I really
believe that some of them are doing
without things they need In order to help
others.
"It Is the strangest thing, that. In the
face of this magnificent example, the
American women are accused of reckless
extravagance. Why, the majority of
women can't afford to be extravagant!
It Is astounding to know the number of
American women who do their own
housework. Compared with the mass of
plain, ordinary women, the extravagant
class Is only a small percentage.
"I always resent the bo-called 'society'
novel which brands our women as use
less nnd extravagant. Now, Edith Whar
ton's books present a unique type, not
the typical woman, by anj means. Buoh
a type Is a slur on our American women,
because the extreme is an International
type; she Isn't necessarily an American.
You can find the woman who smokes
and wastes her time In any country."
"No, I don't think that uniforms for
women would make us any more demo
cratic. Besides, they would be terribly
tiresome. When you count It all up
women don't spend any more on clothes
than the men spend on their clubs and
cigars. Taking It all together, I think
the total would be about the same."
Just at this moment a sleek, black vis
itor appeared and began to pull at the
loose strands of Miss Wharton's wool.
Bhe was the smallest of cats not kittens
and she had no tall.
"That's Bunty, and we named her that
because she always pulls any strings she
can get hold of. She Just came to us one
day and we have kept her ever since. Bhe
never had a tall, even when she was a
kitten."
"What was the roost Interesting place
you visited in England?"
"Well," answered Miss Wharton reral
nlscentiy, "I was getting data for my
new book. You seo. It is about the Eng
lish surroundings of some of our famous
Americans. I looked up the homes of men
like Washington, Ben Franklin, the
Brewstcra, and William Penn. and am
writing about them. The Washington an
cestral home, for instance, la called Set
grave Manor. It Is a wonderful old place,
and was bought by the British Govern
ment to celebrate the 100th anniversary of
the peace between England and America.
Scrppby, the home of the Brewster fam
ily, is another interesting place. The Pil
grim Fathers sailed from there, you
know.

HOW TO FILL A HOT-WATER BAG
PROPERLY.
A hot-wnter bag Is very often used In
tho homo to relievo many a pain nnd
nchc, and yet how Ineffectual It Is If It Is
not filled properly. Tho desired effect Is
obtained only by tho heat of tho water In
tho bag, ni wo nil know, and yet few of
us know that unless the air Is expelled
from tho bag we do not get tho full
benefit of tho heat. Air Is n non-conductor
of both heat and cold.
To quickly and easily expel the nlr
from tho bag, after having filled the bag
with sulllcient water, and bo sure that
we do not make the bag too heavy for n
tender pnrt of tho body, twist It, holding
tho twisted part firmly In the one hand
while you quickly screw the cap on tight
ly. Then hold the bag by tho bottom and
shake vigorously, to make sure there Is
no leakago at the cap. It is very lm
oortant that every hot-water bag Bhould
have a nice, warm cover. Outing flannel
Is very good for this purpose. This cover
can be kept clean, nnd It feels very much
nicer next the skin than would the rub
ber of tho bag.
A prize of ?1 hn been awarded to Sirs.
Joek Kolonky, 718 South 10th street, for
tho following BUEKeatlon:
"In looking over a trunk recently I
found n lot of waists that button In tho
back. I picked out the prettiest ones,
and bought several yards of lawn nnd
some narrow lace and got to work. They
made lovely dresses for my littlo girl,
who Is 3 years old. I took ono of her
dresses, which I found to bo 24 Inches
long, and made a skirt of the new lawn
which I had purchased. This skirt was
about 8 Inches long. Then I cut my waist
down to 1G Inches nnd attached It to the
skirt. The place where they were Joined
was hidden by a snsh when she wore It.
Of course, tho shoulders and sleeves had
to bo shortened a little, and I put an
edging at the bottom of the skirt."

Your Silk Stockings;
How to Treat Them
With n little care and attention .silk
Btocklngs may be made to wear two nnd
even three months. If before wearing
they are washed through lukewarm
water they will become more glossy and
also strengthened, as silk takes very
kindly to water.
After ench wearing, also, the stockings
should be washed In lukewarm water
and white Boap.
If the stockings are white, they should
bo put In a dark room to dry. Never
dry white or colored stockings In the
sun. The Japanese are said to put nil
white silica In a dark closet to dry. This
will absolutely keep them from yellow
ing. The use of hot water, according to
those who know, Is prohibited In the
washing of silks. Also avoid rubbing.
And now ns to the wearing of silk
Blockings. They absolutely must not be
worn tight. If the stocking Is pulled to
Its full length and caught at the hem
there will be few, If any, "runners" oc
curring within a reasonable time. Wear
your stockings comfortably, not too loose
or too tight. One extreme Is as bad as
another.
A stocking with a lisle top and foot
will wear better than an all-silk one.
Rich Cake
One pound of flour, one pound of
sugar, one pound of butter, eight eggs,
half a pound of ourrants, a level tea
spoonful of salt. Beat the butter to a
cream, add the sugar, and beat for some
time. Beat the whites and yolks of the
eggs separately; add them to the butter
and sugar, putting In the yolks first, and
stirring the whites in gently. Sift the
flour in very lightly; it must be dried be
fore using; add the currants. Put Into
well-buttered tins, and bake In a mod
erately quick oven. The butter, sugar
and yolks of eggs must be well beaten,
or the cake will not be light.

A Pretty Little
Elinor Is still shopping frantically In
preparation for her expected trip to tho
South. I am acting as guide, philoso
pher and friend, and havo Just planned
out a very pretty littlo dance froek for
her.
Sho bought somo yards of lovely pale
blue satin a year ago, and It has been
lying up In her bottom drawer over since.
I pounced uponit with delight when I
happened to come upon It accidentally.
"This Is the very thing for a dance
frock," I cried, and fished It up out of
tho depths.
Elinor looked doubtful. "You can buy
rcady-mado things so cheaply In the
stores,' said she, "that I hardly llko to
put money In getting that satin mode up.
Dressmakers chargo such a lot nowa
days." "But let's make It between us, Elinor,"
I Insisted. "It would bo such fun, and
I fhave a vory good Idea of Just tho atylo
that would suit you."
I drew a littlo sketch of the gown-to-be
as I saw It and wo started to work that
vory day.
Tho foundation Is of pale blue satin,
fitted closely, In the princess style. Over
this comes an overdress of blue chiffon,
set In tiers of flounces. There are nine
flounces altogether and I wired tho bottom
of each, bo that each sticks out with the
approved "flare."
Just below tho waist line la set a section
of laco medallion Insertion. I worked
"Tho same boat," said Denham,
"At
least I think so."
Lord Arthur stooped and picked up
something from the shingle. It was nn
old briar plpo with a blackened nnd worn
howl nnd a vulcanite mouthpiece very
much bitten down tho loft-hand side. He
examined It carefully and then handed It
to Denham.
"You'd better keep that," he said. "It
may provide a clue."
The detective nodded and put tho plpo
In his pocket.
"I think, my lord," he said after a
pause, "that we shall havo a good many
clues after this night's work."
"Tho motorboat," said Detective In
spector Murray, "was built at South
ampton three years ago by McKenzle
Brothers. It was ordered and paid for by
a man of the name of Colonel Locker. Ho
used her for a season and then sold her
to a man of the name of Tearle, a
stranger, who paid cash and took her
nwny from Southampton without giving
any address. According to Colonel Locker,
this mnn was tall and dark, with a mus
tache, and might havo been Doctor An
derson before the latter grow a beard."
"That doesn't get us much nearer to
Anderson," said Lord Arthur Morlet
"The boat left Harwich," Murray con
tinued, at 12 o'clock that day. We havo
found a man who saw Doctor Anderson,
but we can get no evidence that there was

provisions. The boy may or may not havo
been on board. My own opinion Is that

Island so early."
"HaB the boat been seen before In the
neighborhood?" queried' Russell.
"Yes at least three times. Once at
Pin Mill, up the Orwell, once In the Wal

"Any one else with Doctor Anderson?"
queried Lord Arthur.
"The men don't seem certain on that
point, my lord. In any case, they can't
give a description of any one who was
seen on board. I particularly asked about

Bwear to it."

at present?" queried Lord Arthur.
''Yes all that refers to tho boat. Now
