Cuniorst-Y enough, my first distinct
emotion lifter hearing Lillian dale
calmly tell mo Hint her husband fell In lovo
with every new face lie nan, that lio was
at ti acted by mo. and would probably try to
tn-iUo lovo to me, was resentment against
my husband
tVliy, I nuked myself passionately, had
Dlcl'y Insisted upon my filcndshlp with
theso people? Suppose they were his most
Intimate friends? I vvna his wife, and I had
nothing whatever in common with them.
Knowing them as well as ho did, ho must
havo Known ll.ury Underwood's propensi
ties Ilu must also havo known the gossip
that connected bin own namo with I.llllan'o.
Ho should havo guarded me from any con
tact with them 1 felt my anger fuso to a
white heat against both my husband and
Lillian.
An ugly suspicion crossed my mind Lil
lian Galo's absoluto calmness In tho faco
of her husband'a wayward affections was
unlquo In my experience of women. "Was
tho secret of her indifference a lack of in
terest in her own husband, nn excess of
concern In mine ' Did sho hopo perhaps to
guln ground with Dicky with tho develop
ment ot tho .situation" "Was her warning
to mo only part of a cunningly constructed
plan, wheioby sho would ntlmulato my In
tel est In Harry Underwood?
I wns ashamed ot my thoughts even as
they came to mo. Lillian Gale seemed too
big a woman, too frank and honest o coun
tenance for such a suhtcrfuge. Hut I could
not help feeling all my old distrust and dls
lllso of tho woman rush over me. I had a
strugglo to Keep my volco from being tinged
with tho dislike I felt as I answered her:
"I am vety sure ou must ho mistaken.
Mis Underwood. Such a possibility as that
would bo unspeakably annoying, wo will
not consider It."
"YOU'LL LIKE HE"
"I think you w 111 nnd you will have to
consider it." sho returned brusquely, with a
curious glance at mo "But wo do not ricea
to spoil our afternoon discussing ft. Isn t
thoro something wo can do whllo wo are
waiting for thoso onions? This bread ought
not lo bo cut until tho nillng Is all ready
to spread between tho slices.
Like an animated answer to her question
Kntlo appeared at tho door.
"Oh, Missla Graham, vot you do doso
nuts? Ilcem dry like bone. You feex now?'
"I will ho there in a minuto. Katie." I
said, and when h)io had gono I turned to
Mrs Underwood.
"I havo somo nlmonda ready to brown
In tho kilchon Hut I really do not need
nny assistance with them. Won't you talk,
lo Dicky while I do them?"
"Indeed, I will do no such thing, child,"
sho returned. "Vou can't get rid of ma that
enslly. DIckj'B no novelty. I see him every
day ; you know our studios aro on tho samo
floor. Hut I'm not ncquaintco witn you
jet, and l'vo mado up my mind to mako you
IIUo me."
"That ought not to ho hard to do," I re
plied, and felt myself a fraud and a cheat
for tho answer.
"I don't know nbout that," returned Sirs
Underwood Tho shrewd glance that ac
companied her words was an illumination
to my mind I realized that this woman
rend my dislike of her, my prejudice against
her, as she would read tho page. of a book.
Sho did not press the subject further, how
ever, to my Intense relief, but led the way
Into the kitchen as If she were at home
"Aren't you the ambitious lady, though,
to prepare your own salted almonds," she
said, as I lifted the towels and she tavy the
rows of white nutmeats, "Never mind, my
dear, two years from now you'll be buying
them nt the corner delicatessen like the rest
of us. I can lemember ages and ages ago
1 did this samo stunt, but I got bravely
over It. I am always glad to be Invited to
the home of a newly-wed. Brides are the
only women ambitious enough to do these
things, and there Is no denying that the
nuta you get at tho shops nro not to be
compared In flavor to tha ones you fix your
self." DROWNING THE ALMOND3
"I cannot bear the apologies for salted
almonds they sell In the shops," I returned,
a bit acidly. I did not quite relish (he
patronizing way In which she dismissed my
labor for the evening's supper as the ambi
tions of a bride. ".For years whenever I
have entertained my friends I have pre
pared them myself. It really is very little
trouble, and I cannot Imagine changing my
habit of years, no matter hqvv long I am
married."
I took my largest frying pan as I spoke,
poured boiling water over it, my Invariable
practice when using a cooking utensil, and
wiped it carefully Then I lighted one of
tho Jetn on my gas stove, put tho pan over
U. nnd when It was hot put n largo piece
of butter Into tho pan.
"Kntle," I directed, ns I stirred the butter
carefully so that It should melt evenly,
brown Just enough and not burn, "put thoso
nlmonds In tho bowl nnd bring them here,
then spread nomo Hhectn of waxed paper
over romo dry towels on the table where tho
nuts hnvo boon drying."
"Here, Katie," Interrupted Mrs Under
wood, gathering up tho nuts Into tho bowl
as hho spoke, "hand mo tho waxed paper
and towels I'll attend to the tablo You
hold tho bowl for Mrs Graham Sho needs
you there. Browning almonds means your
attention every minute"
I knew sho was right, so I mado no
protest, and for a half hour or more w-o
worked In silence. I put as many nut
meats as would brown well Into the pan
at a time, stirred them constantly Ih the
browning butter, keeping tho gas at Jut
the right height, so that the meats should
neither brown loo much nor taste of
scorched butter. When they were Just the
desired shade of brown I took them out
with a long-handled skimmer, shaking them
carefully, then turned them over lo Mrs
Underwood, who ".Dread them on the waxed
paper and sprinkled salt over them.
Before we had finished Dicky and Mr.
Underwood appeared nt the kitchen door
hearing between them ns It It were a heavy
barrel the tiny Jar of onions.
"Heavo ho, my hearties," sang out Dicky.
"Here's your cargo." ....
We finished tho nuts, then went back to
Ihe dining room nnd the sandwiches. Lll
llan cut the bread nhd I prepared the fill
ings. Then wo both spread the slices with
a very thin coating of butler nnd a moro
liberal ono of fillings I had made
Lillian went at tho sandwich bread like
n prnctlced hand Sho first removed with
a sharp knlfo tho entlro crust of the loaf,
then cut It In thin slices, and finally, with
my biscuit cutlers, cut Hichs Into stars nnd
circles Sho mnde also some triangles
with a skill which T could not have
oqualed . . .
I was proud ot my fillings when I had
them completed One was made of caviar
dotted with tiny onions, ao small they
looked nlmost like grains of rice. Tor
nnothcr I chopped anchovies nnd stuffed
olives together until they vveio a paste,
while for a third 1 rubbed the yolks ot
ome hard-boiled eggs I had directed
Katlo lo preparo after breakfast with nn
equal amount ot sardines I moistened all
of them thoroughly vlth lemon Juice. To
me there Is nothing so delicate, so appe
tizing, ns a mixture of lemon Julco with
almost all sandwich fillings
Wo finished the sandwiches, pllea mom
daintily upon my prettiest china plates
ami covered them carefully with napkln3
"What next"" demanded Lillian
"The next thing Is to preparo eomo sort
of supper for you people," I said, stretch
ing my hand to ring the bell for Katie
She caught my hand before I could touch
the hell.

Smart Waists
In face of the persistent upward trend of all prices,
any announcement of
Reduced Prices
comes as a distinctly welcome novelty. These
waists are the "latest cry" in fabric and fashion,
but some sizes are missing, and that is the sole
reason of the much lower prices;
Georgette Waists reduced to $4.00, $4,25, $5.50
Crepe de Chine Waists reduced to $2,50, $3.50
Mostly white and flesh-color, with a sprinkling of
navy, sand, maize and black.
The Christmas Handkerchiefs
The collection is complete and extra
attractive.

Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
" Do I prefer a pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am I willing to use a baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources ? "
The names of the ingredients printed
on, the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate
or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.
