So not wash spinach first, but take a root in

cloaoh can be dona In fifteen minutes. Souse
ao add down In the water. The ssnd will sink

cook, the spinach twenty-five minutes with what

Dear Madam I see In this evening's paper

them Is more desolate than one who has never

not reach out for one of the little orphens- who
have no mothers of their own. Pour year ago

Proper Conduct of Fiancee
To the Editor of the Woman's Pane:
Dssr Madam I would like you to publish a
correct answer to these two questions: I have
been keeping company with a young woman for
some time (the last six months) I asked her
for her company and she accepted. Has she the
right to have other gentlemen friends call on
her and take' her to the movies and theater? I
claim she has no more right, after giving her
company to me, I have been very attentive to
her and all the time I possibly ran I devote to
her. Jsovr, what makes the question more ssrl

her to be my wife, and ahs said she would. The

for a woman after ibe has promised to be a

To your first Question, as to ths matter of
Keeping company, I would say that no man.
uniesa engaged to a gin, nag a right to say
whether she shall or shall not receive at
tentions from othtr men. Company keeping
Is never to be approved of for either a man
or woman. It Is not a fair proposition, for
it aemanas a girl time and attention, and
yet does not give her the rights of an en.
gaged woman. So to the nrst question you
ask I would say the girl s perfectly right
to see as many men as she may choose.
Her only mistake was to agree to keep
company.
But your second question alters things
entirely. When a woman has given her
premise to marry a maa she should cer
tainly consider his wishes In the matter of
receiving attentions from other men. Str ct
!y speaking, It Is not an honorable thing
to do, unleea her fiance Is absolutely willing
to have It so. I see no reason why, if she

MY MARRIED LIFE
By- ADELE GARRISON
''Remember' Dicky Said, "I Am Your Husband Not
YourPupiir
I WAS so furious at Dicky for the way tn
which he had thrown the responsibility
of declining l.llllan Gale's Invitation upon
my shoulders tljit I could not control my
voice sufficiently to answer his question for
a minute or two.
"What's the matter. Madge 7" he had ex
claimed as ha turned from the telrphone
and saw my face ; but I could not speak.
lie was the one who had not wished to
go to her houeo for an all-night revel. I
had left It all with him. And yet he had
deliberately told her that It was my fear ot
a hesdAche which hud prevented us from
coming.
Of all things r had desired to keep Lillian
Gale frorrt guessing was thAt I objected to
her friendship with Dicky And here
Dicky had put Into my mouth that sges-old
expedient of n Jealous wife, a convenient
headache, ss i reason for not going to her
home.
I could Imagine how sh tas smiling
cynically at the Idea of my grasping at
straws to keep my husband away from her.
All my softer mood of the evening van
ished. I told myself that I had been cor
rect In my crtimate ot Dicky as reealed
by his dealings with Touralns Brothers. He
had no moral backbone If a It suited his
purpose better than the truth he would
utter It gayly, carelessly.
If he were annoyed he would Indulge his
temper with no thought of whom It might
Injure.
the TAiLort nrrruiLNS
I was ready now for tho explosion oer
the bill I had paid for Dicky, and tho other
financial worries. I answered his inquiries
coldly.
"Nothing Is the mntter, except that I am
astonished that ou should nllow Mrs Un
derwood to brllete I v. as the one who did
not wish to como to her home. It puts me
In a false light before her. She will think
I am trying to keep you nway from your
old friends "
"Suppose that she docs?" Dicky's tone
was ml8chleou. "If she Imagines that,
she will bo flnttered, ns any woman would,
believing you are Jealous: white If she
thinks that an old pal like me would
actually pref r an etenlng at home to one
of her blowoutf, her little feelings will be
hurt. Those parties ot hers are her pride.
She can't Imagine that any one who has
ever been fortunato enough to attend ono
of them wou'd cer miss ono again."
"Why miss one now, then?" I asked
dryly: but the ringing ot the doorbell'pre
vented Dicky ftom hearing me.
He went to the door nnd threw It open.
and' I heard hH exclamation of astonish
ment and angrr.
"What are you doing here? I told you
I'd pay that vi hen I got good nnd ready and
not before. If you really reed It I'll send
a check this week."
Dicky had lowered his voice, but his
tones are naturally clear and vibrant, and
I heard every word. Another voice, a
deprecating olce that I recognized as Mr.
Touralne's, murmured something, and
Dicky exploded:
"What! You dared to come here and
frighten my wife Into paying this bill. Why,
you blasted little runt. If you weren't so
small I'd throw you down these stairs. I
have halt a notion to do it anyway."
I had reached the door by this time and
stepped In front of Dicky.
"I apologize for' my husband, Jfr. Tour
alne," I said as calmly as I could. "I do
not think he realizes what he says when he
Is angry. Thank you so much tor bringing
me the change." I took It from his out
stretched hand, "and good night."
AN ANGRY SdENEj
The shabby little tradesman took the
hint nnd hurried away. I.,went back Into
the living room, and Dicky followed mo
In, his face crimson, his eyes blazing with
anger. I knew that he had transferred his
wrath from Mr, Toarnlne to me; also, that
the chief cause of his anger was childish
mortification that I should have learned
about the unpaid bill.
"May I ask why you took It uport your
self to pay this personal bill of mine, of
which you knew nothing, not even If It were
genuine?"
Dicky's voice was hoarse with anger as
he faced me. I crossed the room and care
fully closed the door Into the kitchen
where I could hear Katie singing oer the
dinner dishes. v
"There Is no need of Katie sharing this
discussion." I said coldly, as I sat down In
my chair near the grate. I felt the need ot
the warmth from the blaze.
'That Is not answering my question."
Dicky fairly snapped the words out.
'There are many things I hae ta say
to you tonight besides the answer to that
question." I returned. "Out I do not care
to say anything until you can sit down
and ve can talk things over calmly."
"If that Isn't Just like you," Dicky said.
"Do something that humiliates a fellow to
the limit, then put on that superior school
ma'am manner and propose to have a calm,
bad-boy-nfter-school session. Permit me to
remind you that I am your husband, and
not a refractory pupil."
Dicky was fast working himself Into a
rage. I wanted to postpone his angry fit.
It possible, until all the points ot difference
between us hadbeen discussed. I tried to
make my voice conciliatory.
"Please don't make It so hard for me,
Dicky. I may owe you an explanation, but
It Is Impossible for me to tnlk to you while
you are storming around like that. Do sit
down and listen to me."
"Well, what have you got to say for
yourself?"' Dlcry'a words were distinctly
ungracious, but his tone was less angry.
and he sat down in a chair opposite mo as
ha spoke.
If I bad been less Intent upon settling
once for all our household finances I could
not have borne Dicky's Insulting manner. I
had heard that husbands sometimes spoke
to their wives as they dared address no
other womtn, and I was finding out the
truth of the saying. But I had too much
at stake to spend my ammunition upon
small resentments. I waited until I could
control the trtmbllng of my voice) before I
spoke.
"I probably owe you an apology for not
bringing the bill to you Instead of paying
It myself." I began, "but 'the man appeared
to need the money so sorely, and 1 had
been running so long."
Dicky flushed hotly. "He would have
been paid long ago If he hadn't been so
Infernally Impudent," he growled.
I Ignored this outburst and went on:
"You canntt know, Dicky, how It galls
me to owe anybody anything. I could not
enjoy any of these things you have pro
vided for me if I thought that the money
which bought them actually belonged to
creditors."
"You may salve your tender conscience,1
madam," Dicky sneered, "with tho knowl
edge that you have paid the only bill I owe
which has run longer than tho current
month. I am In the habit of paying my
debts I went out of the city suddenly and
forgot alt about this fellow, and he had the
Impudence to nppear at the stndlo when I
was giving a blowout. I have never paid
any more attention to him. Oh, by the
way."
He went to his room and returned with
threo ten dollar bills whlcn he scornfully
tossed Into my lap with much the same ges
ture as he would have tossed a bone to a
dbg.
"Keep the change for your trouble." Ills
olco was unbreakable.
The tone and words were tike the flick
of a whip. Self-control, good-breeding, will
power, all slipped from me liko a garment.
With the temtcr of a fishwife, I snatched
the bills from my lap and threw them full

Soft sightngs through the forest,
Low rustlings In the grass.
Small ripples on the water.
Sweet whispers as they pass
The tokens of their coming,
All unremembered they
Bear breaths of songs and fragrance
Along their Mtcrant way.
They seem like fleeting fancies.
Vagaries of tho mind.
Light thoughts and random musings
That leave no trace behind,
Sweet ripples of light laughter,
Soft, untmpassloned sighs
That flit along the border
Whence come no memories.

ATTENTION IS NKCESSART
The "younger generation" Is prone to
attach little Importance to jrrooratns;. This
accounts for so many mothers appearing;
quite ns girlish-looking as their daughters.
They pay little attention to the details ot
the toilet, and so even pretty girls lose
their attracts eness because they appear to
be "thrown together."
Do not think that It Is time wasted to
spend an hour or more In the process of
dressing Do not be afraid to faco your
mirror squarely. Let It point out your un
attrnctlvo features, and then try to cor
rect them. Never omit the searching "Inst
look." and do not think of appearing be
fore tho public unless you are thoroughly
satisfied that you will "bear Inspection."
qCARP TUB DETAILS '
To be considered a well-groomed woman
your coiffure must be perfect, your com
plexion cloar and smooth, tho figure Well
set-up, not too thin or too plump, and your
hands well manicured. Then you must
select- your clothing according to your In
dividuality, nnd not the prevailing mode;
have your feet smartly shod, your hands
well gloved and your, neckwear scrupulously
clean.
As to the coiffure tho hair this year Is
dressed In a variety of ways, so that It will
not be difficult to find one that Is becoming.
The hair Is softly waed. and may be ar
ranged rather close to tho head on the top
nnd sides with a. knot at the crown, or It
may bq combed so that a soft pompadour
will Jesscn the height of the brow, and
curling strands or ringlets will almost cover
the ears. Extreme neatness without Puri
tanic primness Is the desired effect. The
well-groomed woman will not be lavish In
the uso of elaborate coiffure ornaments.
Simple shell combs to match the hair are In
far better faste than those Inset with rhine
stones or colored brilliants.
Now that the coiffure has been discussed,
the complexion is next In line. The well
groomed woman Is faithful In giving her
skin a nightly massage treatment. Sho first
applies a cleansing cream that the pores
may be freed from their accumulation of
dust, then she nourishes the tissues with a
skin food. A- coating of the latter Is left
on the skin during the night. In the morn
ing the grease Is removed with warm water
and a bland soap and an astringent lotion
applied. Then cold cream Is applied to the
face and the superfluous greas wiped oft
with a soft towel and a faco powder of a
delicate, creamy ecru applied. If your com
plexion Is faultless omit the use of cold
cream nnd powder!
Exercise and diet play an Important part
In the dally life of tho welt-groomed
woman. She eliminates rich foods from her
menu hnd Judiciously exercises to keep her
figure symmetrical. Avoid late suppers
after the theater or dance. Take a dally
warm bath fojlo-wed by a cold shower and
a rub-down, using Turkish towels .which
havH been soaked In strong salt water and
dried.' '
Taking for granted that your clothes are
up-to-date, becoming and suited to your
type of beauty, take particular cam that
your sfclrt ta on straight, that your petti

There is a Real Difference
Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is need in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de
rived from mineral sources, ate used in
some baking- powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

"Sure," was the arisWer, "what is it?"
"Do you mean to say," drawled the passenger,
cow again?'
A train came to a stop on
a little up-country railroad,
and the passengers were
told: "A cole's on tlie
track."
A few miles further on,
the delay was repeated; and
the same explanation given:
"A cow's on the track."
Two miles, perhaps, of
continuous going, and an
other standstill. A pas
senger glanced wearily
around. "Conductor,'' he
yawningly called, "may I
speak to you a moment?"
'we've caught up to that'
The cow on the track is the High Cost of Living, and Inflated Food Values are
blocking the way., No matter whether it's some little country offshoot or the
,.main lines of Household Traffic, schedules are uncertain and trains are delayed.
Obstructions lurk at every turn and curve ef careful planning, for control of pro
duction and concentration and monopoly of interests are throttling the
family purse.
