ELLEN
Bachelors Who Should
When a man marries he exchanges tho
tarofreo, happy-go-lucky ltfoof the Ir
responsible Bachelor for tho adber duties
and responsibilities qf the Denedlct To
fee wore accurate, that Is what he should
do. But between what a man should do,
and what In reality ho does do, yawns a.
tvery Wide gulf. Herein lies the root of
many a matrimonial upheaval and many a
domestic earthquake.
The Bachelor who Is about to become a
Benedict had better pause and consider be
fore putting his Head Into the noose. Tho
word noose has an unfortunate ring to it,
yet, although the poets do assure us that
the chains are flowery ones, marriage
certainly Is a nooso. Nowadays, however,
tho matrimonial noose has certain gossa
mer qualities which render It peculiarly
liable to ho broken at any moment.
There la a certain typo of man who
should flee from matrimony as a bird out
Of the hand of the fowler. To continue
tho mixing of metaphors, he' Is Incapable
of running In doublo harness and will only
end In .upsetting the wagon.
The male flirt, for instance, should never
marry. For tho confirmed flirt Is quite In
curable, and he will continue on his flirta
tious pathway till the very end of tho
chapter. Nor will any matrimonial cords
hold him back.
I always feel sorry for the wifo of the
married flirt. Her position Is just a little
bit undignified, to soy tho least of It. Bhe
la rung up so often from the ofllce at the
last frantlo moment when the dinner has
bosn ready and watting for quite on hour,
only to be told that hor better half (tho
expression Is absurd, by tho way) will bo
detained very late by press of business.
And sho believes him, the trusting, un
suspicious little soul that she Is. That
la tho pathos of It. How wives can be so
utterly gullible surprises me Intensely.
Over and over again they will believe that
ancient, threadbare excuso of lato time
work at the ofllce. It would be cruel to
undeceive them. Imagtno saying to some
loving, trusting little creature: "Don't
talk to mt about the long hours John has
to workl He Isn't down at tho office at
all. he Is having a glorious time of it with
a wholo crowd of other men, playing cards
and drinking at the clubl Don't be so
simple as to believe that ancient office
excusel" "Why, It would bo too cruel. And
aha wouldn't believe It, not she!
Or Imagine saying to her: "Your hus

Shall the Home-mailer Haoe a Personal Allowance?
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
AUTHOR 'Tim NEW HOUSEKEEPING."
Hvery so often I receive a letter from
a homemaker who asks me my opinion
on the personal allowance question. Do
I believe that the woman who manages
tho home shall have a set fee for her
IS; services? Do I hclleve that a wife should
receive a set sum of money monthly with
the privilege of expending It entirely on
personal needsT
The situation cannot be settled by
simple yes or no. Let me first give my
idea of the relationship between husband
and wife as copartners In the business of
home-making, whose profits both share
equally. I know an actual business of
two partners run like this: One partner
A goes out "soliciting" business, "landing
accounts," "on the road" and getting the
contracts which mean the money to run
that business. The other partner, B, has
tho "inside Job"; he oversees the stenog
raphers and employes, plans the details,
lays out work, but never leaves the
oftloe routine. When It comes to dividing
the profits they follow the plan of pooling
the earnings, paying commons expenses
and dividing the surplus profits. Does
any one disagree with this planT
This actual business arrangement is my
personal ideal of the -way family finances
should he adjusted. The husband Is out
"on the road" bringing In the money, Just
Ilk the soliciting partner; the wife Is
the "lnsldef man, attending to the man
agement of the business, and supervising
employes. Why not pool the family earn
ings, deduct the Joint expenses of shelter,
operating, clothing, advancement, eta,
and share equally In the savings or sur
plus, whloh may be In the form of a bank
account, a piece of property, or life In
surance T
Tela view Is totally opposed to the
-personal allowance" idea that one part
ner shall have a sot sum for her own
separate needs. In my opinion this Is
totally opposed to the needs of the fam
ily as a whole. It makes for selfishness
and often Winds the woman to the future
needs of the partnership. In addition, it
appears to me Just like saying to a
woman, "Here's your money (or your
tone); take it and be satisfied, Tou
aren't able to understand my business
affairs and I give you this Uttle sura
to keep you pacified." Now, doesn't this
seem the view of such a situation?
I know families which have for W years
followed mjr partnership ideal ; the Income
tfco husband earns I regarded Jointly;
ttia nous expenses and the expenses of
aacis are drawn from the common fund,
each having In njlnd future needs and
savings. If bo needs an overcoat, It is
tsBght without question; If she needs a
gtyt, the saws holds tru Neither setf
tihly takes a petty sum and says, "This

the prettiest little thing Imaginable, and
she hasn't a notion that he Is n married
man I Nor will she, If he can possibly
help It"
Some men make the excuso that they
can lovo two women whole-heartedly at
tho same time. This may be so. Man Is a
polygamous animal, as the ancient philos
ophers assure Us. And they ought to
know. But the man who professes to be
in love with two women at tho samo tlmo
is something more than o, fool. Ho will
get all the trouble that Is coming to
him, too, for when his two loved ones
meet thoy will make things pretty lively
for him, depend upon It.
The selfish man should never marry,
either Of urse, this Is taking the ad
Jectlvo In Its Intensive form. All men
are more or less selfish; but I refer to
the exceptionally selfish tho ultrn-cgotls-tlcal.
Unless a woman Is prepared to
sink her entire Individuality beneath the
selfishness of tho typo sho should remain
an old maid all her Ufo rather than ruin
her own happiness by giving it into tho
keoplng of any such) masculine nonentity.
The selfish husband Is a veritable tyrant,
and his petty kingdom is the hearth
stone. Tho man with a roving disposition
should avoid marriago-unless he has
plenty of money and can tako his wife
along, too. Otherwise sho may find her
Bolf In the proud position of deserted
wife, and be forced to earn her own living
and that of her children.
The man with a perpetual grouch should
nevor marry. A certain type of husband
Is always merry and bright where the
outside world is concerned, but by his own
hearthBtono he Is as dlsagreoable as a
bear with a sore head. His unfortunate
little wife has a dreadful time of It, and
the perpetual soft onBwer whloh turneth
away wrath 1b called Into requlstlon every
other minute. Sho has to act as buffer,
too, between her husband and the chil
dren. ,No, the wife of the Perpetual
Groucher has no bed-of-roses career to
look forward to.
When a man marries he Bhould make
a few good resolutions, and then stick
to them. Marriage Is as much of a com
pact as any business proposition and
should be entered Into In a spirit of com
radeship. Otherwise, as in any other part
nership, the affair Is apt to be a failure
and the partnership to end not in bank
ruptcy of money, but In what Is assuredly
worse bankruptcy of love.
must bo tolerated because the nartles
(have not yet entered a grown-up and dlg-
nmea metnoa or adjustment.
If It needs an "allowance" to make
a homemaker realize that she Is "Inde
pendent" something Is wrong. The allow
ance plan is only a childish makeshift,
no matter whether applied to man or
wife. Why not a dignified, equable part
nership In the family, as In other rela
tions? The Economical Housewife
Do you waste bread? To waste bread
Is a sin; this Is one of the first rules of
the kitchen. It Is the way you make
use of the little scraps of bread, stale
toast ends of loaves, crusts cut from
bread and such that shows the skilful
housekeeper. All theso ecraps should bo
used to the best advantage, and this re
quires a definite method of disposing of
them.
The day's needs must first be dealt
with, with the crumbs or croutons re
quired sorted out nnd put on one elde.
Every left-over scrap should then be out
Into fairly uniform squares, placed In a
baking dish and baked carefully in a
slow oven to a delicate golden-brown
shade. It so often happens that the care
fully saved crusts issue from the oven
as charcoal that it Is a good scheme never
to quite close the oven door when -bread
is drying, so that you oan tell by the
odor how things aru progressing.
Tou can make use of your extra
crumbs In a variety of ways. The wise
housekeeper knows that all fried foods
are mors digestible If they are coated
before cooking with a thin coating of egg
and bread crumbs. The thin Jacket thus
formed around the food helps to retain the
flayor of the food and prevents undue
absorption of fat. If you cannot obtain
eggs, a little milk may be used In their
place. In hoth cases the fatproof Jacket
will prove more efficient If the crumbs
are finely powdered. Pish cutlets, cro
quettes of all kinds, calves' brains, scal
lops, all will require fried bread crumbs,
and it will save you time to have a Jar
of them at hand. They are really dell
clous sprinkled on tolled ham, bacon, and
with cheese, eggs, tomatoes, etc, cooked
au era tin.
To test the proper baking of the bread,
break one of the thickest pieces; If It
snaps crisply the bread Is ready to be
taken from the oven. With a rolling
pin and baking board the bread can soon
be made Into fine crumbs and may after
ward be sifted if uniform fineness be de-
sired. A good many housekeepers use
the mincing machine with good results In
making bread crumbs. It Is well to re
member that bread should te made Into
crumbs as soon as It Is baked, for It
loses Its crispness when it stands In the
air for any length of time.
The cook who rescues her scraps of
bread from the asholn and turns them
Into the golden outer rind of delicious and
appetizing food Is the original "efficient"
cook. Bread so treated Is bread saved
against a possible day of want,
Delicious Eggs
Deviled Eggs One-half dozen hard
boiled eggs, one tablespoon ful of butter,
salt and mustard to taste. Cut length
wise, remove the yolks and mash, adding
salt, pepper, mustard, butter and enough
vinegar to make a paste. Bub smooth, and

.Then he turned to Itussell. "About this
man Vertlgan?" he queried.
"Vertlgan has never left his lodgings
all the time, Murary not even for a walk.
He has been 111. What about Mr Hlch
ard Meriet? Tou folk have been watch
ing him."
"Tee but he gave us the slip." ,
"And vou don't know where he 1st"
"I think we can find him," said the
detective guardedly,
"But you don't know where he Is?"
queried Lord Arthur.
"Certainly I do not."
"When did you lose sight of him?"
"The day after you took the unoney to
the Island." '
"He was In his rooms that night?"
"Yes the houso was watched all night
and he was seen In the morning. He went
out about 9 o'clock and then he gave us
the slip. Well, I must be off now, gen
tlemen. I havo to catch a train to Lon
don," He took his departure, and Lord Ar
thur and Russell were left alone in the
private sitting room at the Meriet Arms.
"This is a shocking business, my lord,"
said Itussell. I I hope her ladyship is
bearing up."
"She does not know all the truth, Itus
sell. I have told her that the money la to
be paid over a month from today, But
she la ill very 111. Good heaven, Russell.
I'd give a hundred thousand pounds to
get this boy back safely again."
"I'm sure you would, my lord. Now, if
I may venture to give you a piece of ad
vice
He paused and stroked his mustache
thoughtfully,
"Well, what Is It, Russell?"
"You'll have to be very careful, my
lord. You may be the next."
"You think the boy is deadl"
"I'm afrali) so, my lord, I'd bo very
careful, if I were you."
Lord Arthur shrugged his shoulders,
"If they'd wanted to get rid of me," he
said, "it would have been easy that night
on the sandsplt."
"Perhaps It did not suit them, my lard,
and there were complications, I've no
doubt. They're at war in their own camp,
I fancy."
The door opened and Detective Inspector
Murray was shown into the room.
"Hello," said Lord Arthur. "You baqk

on his way up from the station. They've
found what they believe to be your car,
and I want you to come along with me
and Identify It"
"Where?"
"Just outside London; If you're quick
we can catch this train."
"Right you are," said Lord Arthur.
I'll come along with you now,"
They hurried off to the station and were
Just in tlmo to catch the train as It had
begun to move.
"By Jove!" gasped Lord Arthur, "that
was a near thing."
"Yes, my lord," snld the detective with
a smile. Then he turned to his subordi
nate, a falr-halred young man with a
Bmall mustache.
"Where did you say the car was,
Hardy?" he quorlod,
"Richmond Park, sir; they'd run It
right up on the grass by one of the plan
tations." "Is It all right?" queried Lord Arthur.
"Yes, sir at least It looks alt right.
No attempt has been made to move It."
"Any other news, Hardy?" said Mr.
Murray.
"Only about Crane, sir."
"Crane?" queried Lord Arthur. "Wno
is he? Oh, yes, of course; the yokel who
TvtiB driving the cart and gave a stranger
a lift and got knocked on his head for his
kindness. What about Crane?"
"His story was a pack of ilea. The
man gave him a couple of sovereigns and
the fellow Just lay In a ditch for an hour
and smoked his pipe."
Lord Arthur laughed. "Upon my
word," he said, "It's difficult to get the
truth out of any one nqwadays."
"Yes, my lord," sold Murray, dryly,
"but wo usually get hold of It In the long
run."
CHAPTER XXI.
"He Is dead," moaned Lady WImberley;
"he Is dead."
John Erlelgh took her In his arms. His
face was white and drawn more terrible
to 190k on than the face "of the woman
who had lost her child. For there was
more than grief In his heart there wns
shame and dishonor. But for his own
cowardice, but for his fear of Vertlgan
the science master would never have been
allowed to remain at the school, and In
all probability the conspirators would not
have been able to lay their plans for the
kidnapping of Lord WImberley, And as
ho held her close to him confession was
on his lips,
"Anne, my dearest," he whispered,
"God will give him back to you. I will
do all In my power the whole of Eng
land Is against these men. How can
they escape? Anne, dear, you must be
calm."
"There Is nothing left for me In life,"
she sobbed, "nothing."
"Yes, Anne, dear even if Quy there
Is. Joan and I lovo you "
She freed herself from his embrace.
"You do not understand," she said pas
sionately, "how I loved him how he was
more to me than anything else In the
world. I would give everything every
thing else If he could be given back to
me."
"Everything else. Anne everything?"
"Yes, Jack my health, my life, my
happiness everything."
He walked to the window of the library
and stared out at the grey waters of the
lake. It was raining and the clouds
were being driven across the sky like
smoke from a furnace. It was nearly
dark, but there was still enough light to
see the dreary landscape. A month had
passed since Lord Arthur had gone on
his fruitless errand to Bartsea. And
there wag still no news of Guy
WImberley, John Erlelgh was breaking
down under the strain.
"You mean," he said after a long pause,
"that If let us suppose, Anne, that you
had, to choose between me and Quy no, I
have no right to speak to you like that
You know that I would give my life to
bring you happiness yes, my life."
She came to hi side and laid her hand
upon bis arm.
"Jack, my dearest," she said in a low
voice, 'you know how I love you, You
must not be unkind to me must not talk
about my choosing between you and Quy.
I love you both one as much as the
other."
"Nol" ho broke In fiercely. " am
nothing to you or you would not say that
there is nothing left for you In all the
world when you know that as long as I
live you have my love."
"Jack," she said plteously. "Jack, you
must not tain like that."
know that you blame xne for what
has happened," he went on, "that all the
world blames me. Well, I shall suffer.
The school will suffer "
"No, Jack dear, no; how could you
help it7"
"The school will go down. ThOy-work
of all these years will bo broken to
pieces. Parents will say that I'm not fit
to have charge of their sons. All Eng
land Is tnlklnfr of It now already I have
had letters. Well, I can tako my punish
ment. If the good of tho school demands
It I will resign."
"No, Jack, no you must not do that."
"If Guy Is not found I shall resign,"
he said sternly. Then he suddenly caught
her again in his arms.
"Anne," ho said passionately, "I'm a
bruto to talk to you llko UrlB. What are
my own troubles to yours"? The boy Bhall
be found. I'll glvo my life up to the
work "
"Jack, dear, do not talk like that. What
can you do?"
"I don't know. But I'm sure I can do
something. There is a man they suspect
one of tho masters In the school. The
pollco are watching him. But they will
not find out anything. I will see the man
myself force the truth from him force
it from him with my hands at hia
throat."
Ho spoke wildly. Incoherently. Lady
WImberley, looking at him, thought he
had taken leave of his senses. His face
was flushed and tho veins stood out on
his forehead. Then beforo sho could say
a word he had left tho room. Sho follow
ed him, and called out to him, but he did
not seem to hear her voice. Tho hall
door opened and closed and he had gone.

Mrs. Caroline Earle White
It was a very cosy library where Mrs.
Caroline Carlo White, our noted philan
thropist and antl-vlvlsectlonlst, was
seated. Hor large, dark eyes showed the
Intelligence and determination of a
woman of thirty. You would hardly have
believed that she had celebrated her
golden anniversary several years ngo
unless she had told you yourself.
"I am very busy Just at present," she
sold. "Wo have so many holidays nowa
days that they add to the work we al
ready have to do, I am still attending to
some of my Christmas duties. Just at

You know the Jury disagreed last spring,
"Don't you think that It Is more or lss
Justifiable to Inoculate animals for the
benefit of human belng7"
"No, I do not," wns the decided answer.
"I think that It Is wrong to harm an
animal. Of course, they are not so im
portant as human beings, but they should
never be cruelly treated. The doctors
know the organism of an animal better
than any one else, and they can devise
the cruelest tortures for dogs especially.
The dog Is the most faithful of animals
and It Is Inhuman to hurt him in any way,
no matter how good the object"
"Do you believe In suffrage?''
"Yea, Indeed, I do, I have always be
lieved In votes for women. Of course, I
don't favor the English methods, but I
believe that all who are governed by the
laws should have a voice In making' the
laws. The Constitution says that "all
Just governments derive their power from
the consent of the governed."
"But don't you think ths ought to
be an educational qualification? Do you
think that every immigrant should vote J"
"Of course I do Why not?" replied
Mrs. White quickly, ''A woman has the
Intelligence to know what Is best, whether
she Is educated nor not. She still has the
power to decide for herself. No, Indeed, I
don't believe In limitations of any kind."

at the result; and If you will cultivate
the habit of breathing through tho nos
trils constantly tho neck hollows will be
filled out without any great effort.
The last thing at night and tho first
thing In tho morning, In a well-vcntl-lated
room and while you are in your
nightdress, Is the time for practice. It
will take" only about ten minutes of your
time and Is well worth while. To begin,
place tho fingers In tho hollows on each
side of the collar bones and take a deep
breath, through the nostrils, with the
mouth closed, until you feel your lungs
can hold no more, and when the lungs
expand the hollows can bo felt by tho
fingers filling up. Hold your breath until
you count five, and expel through the
nostrils slowly. Practice this ten times
at first and gradually get up to 25, and
Btop there. By that tlmo. If you have
practiced faithfully, you should breath
entirely through the nostrils and deep
breathing has come to stay.
You will feel so much better and
brighter when this Is accomplished, for
the lungs arc given us to use and All
with God's good, pure air.
A few exercises given below will assist
In making tho throat round and full:
Take n. deep breath, bend the head
slowly forward until" the chin touches
the neck; exhale and relax the muscles
entirely. Take nnother deep breath, then
stiffen the muscles and slowly raise the
head; bend backward as far as possible,
exhale at once and bring the head back
to Its normal, position. Repeat this ex
ercise ten times, and by that time you
will feel tired. Do this for five nights
and then add the following:
Breathe' and exhale as described above,
and bend the head tp the left and then
to tho right Repeat this only five times.
After using these two exercises for five
nights, add the third and last:
Tnko a deep breath, making the muscles
of tho neck tense, and turn the head,
looking backward over the right shoul
der as far as you can. Exhale and re
turn to the natural position. Breathe
again and turn the head to the left and
exhale.
These three exercises, It used faith
fully, will accomplish all one needs. They
are safe and will develop the neck, as
well as permanently preserve the youth
ful contour,
Clenn.ilng cream should always be used
before you begin to exercise. After
