MY MARRIED LIFE

"Would ynit please get me. a taxi as soon
as iHis'ilile?" I untried, "tlct It from nny
wlieio but the tirnnson company. I will
not lake one of Its ttixls"
"All right, tmi'nm." The cheery answer,
such a contrast to the surly impertinence,
of ihr other ninn. soothed me. I flew about
my drensllig, bntbed my face anew, did over
my hnlr nnd slipped back on the dress
and shoes I hod taken off when 1 lay down

continue to mffer this dlneomfort without
really Irving to lellote the pain. If, when

won't grow Into iho habit of wrinkling your

Now that every woman is wearing kid
ahoea of l'ght colors, which have n tendency
to make the feet appear larger, do not make
the grave mistake to buy your shoes n half

Alwaya bear In mind that your feet look

Care of Hard Floors
Naturally every housewife wants to find
the simplest way of giving her floors the
attention they need. In searching for this
simplest way many housewives have
adopted methods that experts on floor
finishes know are ruinous to the finish, and
very often to the wood itself. Hero are
rules supplied by a noor expert .
Kr Shellac I'lnish If water has been
spilled upon tho floor and it has turned
white In places, moisten a soft cloth with a
little nicohol and lightly rub the spots.
which should Immediately disappear. Do
not repeat this operation too often, how
ever, or the finish will be entirely removed.
Shellacked . floors sometimes take on a
clouded or grayish appearance due to damp
ness in the air. This condition can usually
be greatly Improved by tho same treatment
as above. U the flnlsh has becojue so dirty
that it is necessary to remove same en
tirely first scrub the floor with wood alco
hol and then bleach It with oxalic acid
never use lye, as it turns the wood black
and ruins the surface permanently. After
all moisture has evaporated the original
finish may be applied. ,.,,. ,
For Varnish Finish If the finish has be
come badly worn, thoroughly scrub It with
a brush, scouring soap and water tnever
flood the floor). After It has dried out.
apply a thin coat of varnish, or in case
time cannot be allowed for the varnish to
dry wax' may be substituted. Po not use
shellac on top or oiu varmsn, ur variuait uu
top of old shellac.
For Wax Finish Waxed floors should be
dusied dally with a broom covered with
canton flannel. Keep a can of war on

to lock the box and put away the key Upon
the occasion of last wearing; my hi Illc.rc.
J am painfully methodical, na Ulckj wteii
reminds me. Kuch an action would be
utterly unlike me. ,
Wllh a sudden, swift lorebodltuc. I pcnw
the box. The Jeweler's dainty case, wlilclt
held tho la ulllcre, lay on tho lop. I tore
it open. (irenditiB to find my treasure roiis.
No. It Mas there, apparently unharmed, but
f knew as soon as I looked at It that other
bands than mine had handled 11 since I had
last Reeii.lt. '
Nnluially careful of tny thliiRs, I had
always taken espfleinl pains wllh this orna
ment, which I prlxetl. both becauso It was
filcky'ft weddhiR present and becatiso It was
the most beautiful lltlnB I had ever owned.
I had atwavs laid tbo pendant carefully
upon tho tuilln bed llrst, then wrapped the
lone Rlondor links of tho chain around It.
Uut no jsuch careful armm;emcnt mot my
eyes.
A StlDDGN TitaroiiT
The pendant lay on top, tile crushed Units
of the chain underneath, ono letiKtb of It
even hanging outside the box. Kvldnntly it
bad been crushed hastily bnett into tho box
by some one who was Inspecting it
Who' Could have been meddling with in;
things? Not even Dicky knew where I
kept tho key of my lock box. 1 bud not told
him because I was afraid bo would lauuh at
my feminine strategy. There was only rum
poss.bln person Katie.
Klin must have watched me return I he
h Milllere back to the box and put the key
iiw.it without my knowing It. Then In my
absence sho must have opened the box.
Tho baste with which tho ornament wan
thru! back showed that she had been
nfrnld or my sudden return, alio evidently
had bad no chance to return the things
ns sho bad found them.
A sudden thought struck inn. Whether
Nbe intended to steal the la vallleio or only
to nut It back In Its place, she would prob
ably return to thp npartment in liui after
noon when she wns sure both Dlrky and
I would bo awny. Mho hud the key to the
kitrhou door, of course. I could not risk
Hint. I considered a moment. I knew she
had it cousin on the Hast Slth somewhere,
with whom sho lived before coming to inc.
So I would not bo doing wrong In barring
her for the nlKht. Then In tlio morning
I rould probo tho matter. I did not want
to loso U'otle, but. of course. If sho wcro dis
honest I would have, tn let her go.
I fastened my hi vnlllere and put on mv
lint and cloak. Tbo lock box I placed In
mv titink, locked the trunk, and put the
tt'unk. hey and my latch key to the front
door In my mesh bug. Then, drawing on my
gloves. 1 went lo tbo kitchen door, bolted It,
and went through my apartment ngultt to

cause. If you aro forced lo walk a great
deal or stand any length of time, tho feet
are hound to become tiled nnd sore. Tliero
are ways to relieve the suffering. 1 nm glad
to say.
In warm weather the feet perspire almost
ns freely us other parts of the body, and
for this reason tbo shoes should bo fre
iiuontly changed. After removing u pair of
iihoes, always open them aa wide as pos
sible nnd e-pose them to the sun and air.
When the feet uru soro and nwolll'ii. soak
them for twenty minutes hi hot water o
which a tnblespoonful of the followlpg mix

Powdered iilum . . . 1 oiineo
1'ow dered borux - ounces

This bath should be given, without fall,
overy morning. Then tlio feet should he
carefully dried nnd rubbed with alcohol or
cologne water.
Uefore putting on your shoes dust tho

If you llnd that ,slllt stockings are In

At night, beforo retiring', massage the

When callouses have formed tin the soles
or sides of the feet and become annoying
or painful, massage them with heated olive
oil until tho skin becomes soft. Then take
a pumice stone und rub away the dead akin.
In tlmo tbu callou.-es will disappear.

To Cover Kitchen Floor

for a kitchen floor. In the shop it always
looks attractive because of its smart and
clean appearance, but once on tho floor It
Is disappointing, as It shows every mark
and, unless weltscrubbed every day. It does
not look clean. A practical way of dealing
with tho kitchen floor, und at the same time
economizing labor, is to cover it with a

Bean Soup With Cracklings
In most farm houses cracklings aro fed
to tho chickens or put In tho soap grease,
but some use them In delicious cookery.
Caro must bo taken to haVo them an dry as
possible, and fresli nnd crisp, so that they
will add a delicate flavor to whatever tboy
aro used with.. They should bo small and
appetizing rnthtr than big and full of fat.
Noodles with cruckllng.-, onions with
cracklings (prepared differently than by the
rcclpo above), vegetables with cracklings,
and beau soup with cracklings wero the
recipes given. Hero is tho rccipo for tho
beau soup, quoted word for word, though
I should prefer moro explicit directions than
"cook" beans they must be gently cooked ;
Cook one pint of beans until tonder. in
plenty of water after first rarhoillng them.
Add one cup ot celery cut line, two large
onions also cut tine. In an hour or so add
tine-huir cup of fresh cracklings nnd slminor
till tho beans aro mushy. Keep adding
water as It bolls down unless a very thick
soup Is liked." Tho latter advlco Is not
good.
If two quarts of water nro used at tho
start and tho beans closely covered whllo
simmering, thore will lie no need of addi
tional water, which bus a tendency lo
flatten tlio flavor a good deal. "1'lenty
of water, Is not dellnlto enough, but Is ns
common us tho direction "cook," which
means so littlo when wu do our work with
gieut exactnass.
Sweetbreads Supreme
l'arboil two sweetbreads in milk, cool
them and cut lu one-half Inch cubes. Work
one-fourth cup of butter until creamy und
odd tlio yolks of four hard-cooked eggs.
Korco through n potato rlcer. Melt two
tablespoons of butter, add two tablespoons
of Hour nnd stir until well blended. Then
pour on gradually, while stirring constantly,
one cup of cream. Bring to the boiling
point and add the egg paste, three-fourths
of a teaspoon of salt, one-clghth teaspoon
or pepper, a few gratings ot nutmeg, the
whites of four hard-cooked eggs, finely
chopped, and tho sweetbreads. Serve In
timbale cases, patty sheila or puff paste vol
amenta.'
White Sauce With Lard
Melt a tablespoon of lard slightly In the
frylngpan and simmer .In It a good sized
hllccd onion. "When tho onion Is soft add
ono ortwo tablespoons of Hour, according
as you want a thin or a thick sauce, mix
It thoroughly with tho fat, add a cup of
milk, and stir constantly until it thickens.
Add a half teaspoon of salt and three grat
ings of nutmeg and you will have a sauco
that will bo good with macaroni or cauli
flower. It may bo used with other vege
tables, but. the latter badly cooked then
served In a white sauce, aro anything" but
attractive.

Ularshmallow and Its Various Uses as an "Addition"
MAltSHMAM.OW In lis native stato is a
pretty plant that lo fodnd In marsh
lands in both Kurope and Asia, the treat
ment ot the roots and slams of this plant
produces a colorless and tasteless gum.
which has always been used In Prepar.ng
many medicines, ilenulne marshmallow,
naturally. Is not ,-ery common, and so we
nnd that some of the marshmallow candles
we buy are not really prepared front the
gum of the marshmallow plant, but nro u
combination of sugar, coin syrup and gel
atin. t
This is bv no mentis nn unhenllhful sub
stitute, in fact, If pure Ingredients nre
used the imitation la probably more di
gestible than the genuine marshmallow.
Tho unwholcsomencss of some bought
marshmallows lies In the fact that they nre
nol prepared with the best Ingredients; also
that they are often stale, and stale cooked
gelatin Is not the most dlgestlblo food,
l-'or this reason, tho best way W cat tho
marshmallow candles Is toasted. In this
way the sticky mixture Is sotlened and
masticated more easily than It It Is hard
and tough.
Marshmallows, when used as an addition
to another dish, add it delicacy that trans
forms many a simple dessert Into nn ex
ceedingly tempting viand. Marshmallow
whip, which can be bought In Jars for 25
in 30 rnts, "an bo used Instead of whipped
I'irain It tastes quite ns good, and as it
few tablespoonfuls ran be used Instead of a
iipfill of whipped cream. It Is usually less
costly.
Hero arc a few marshmallow recipes-
MARSHMALLOW CAKB TILLING

then pour over tbo stiffly beaten whlto of

If dtslrcd. tho top of tho cake may bo
