Please let me hae eome of your good advice. CUIUS, There Is only one way, my dear Chris, to find out If tho girl will marry you, and thnt 1b to ask her. Remember, "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady." No girl with common sense will let u man be sure he can have her before he has asked her to marry him. It Is always better to know positively one way or the other. It saves many a heart ache. i Note of Regret To the Editor of IFomnn's Pane: Dear Madam Will you kindly tell me how to word a note of regret to a friend or, rather, to the parents, who are giving thi-lr dsuantH a twenty-first birthday party?

I nm nfralil If 1 set down my exact thoughts I should have to ndinlt that I had a distinct feeling of rebellion ngalnRt the expected visit of Dicky's mother. If It wens only a visit I Thcro was Just tho trouble, Then I could have welcomed my mother-in-law, entertained licr royally, kept nt top pitch till the tlmo 8ho was with us, guarded every word nnd action nnd kept from her ltnowledgo the fact that Dicky and I often quarreled, Hut Dicky's mother, so far as I could sec, was to bo n member of our household for tho rest of hor life. She herself had ar ranged It In a letter, the calm phrases of which still Irritated me ns I recalled thorn, Sho had taken me so absolutely for granted, ns though my opinion amounted to nothing, nnd only licr wishes and thoso bf her son counted, 1 had no reason to lovo Dicky's mother. I know thnt sho had objected lolciitIy to Dicky's marrying mo because sho had other plans for lilm. She had een refused to come to our slmplo homo wedding. And here sho and I would have to llvo In tho same houso for the rest of our lives! Hut' suddenly my Uieelcs llnmed with shame. After nil, this woman who was coming wns my husband's mother, nn old woman, frnll, nlmost an Invalid. I made up my mind to put nnny from mo all the disagreeable features of her advent Into my homo nnd to busy mself with plans for her comfort nnd happiness. I hurried tho breakfast, for I wanted plenty of time for the last preparations be foro Dicky's mother should arrive. Dlckv was to go to his studio for n wlillo and then go over to tho station In tlmo to meet her train, which wns duo at 11:30. DICKY'S PAUTINO SHOT "What tlmo will you be here?" I asked Dicky fur nhout tho eleventh tlmo when he had finished his breakfast nnd was teady to start for tho studio. "How do I liinw?" Dicky rejolntd Irri tably. "If the train Is on tlmo we ought to be hero within a half-hour after It gets In. That would bring us here about 12 o'clock. But those trains are often late." "Can't yon telephone mo If It Is late?" I asked, although 1 dreaded to hear Dicky's reply. "Will you tell tne why In creation t should telephone you that the train is late? If It's late, why, It Is, that's all. I'll hate my hands full with mother. I can tell you. She's more fussy nhout her things than you nre. and you're had enough " 3Iy cheeks Hushed nt his contemptuous tone, but I stroe hard to keep my temper. "You don't understand, Dicky. I want to hate, luncheon nil ready and piping hot when sho comes If 1 don't know whether the train In Into or not I won't know how to mnn.igo to keip sonic of the dishes warm, and I'm nfrald they will ho .spoiled " "Oil, plllle!" Dicky snorted. "Mother iuu't tho Queen of Kngland, nnd ou need not he so blamed particular. If she has a cup nf good tea when sho gets here that will bo about nil she'll want." Ho put his hand on the doorknob, then turned to where 1 stood, trying to keep tho tears hack. "Don't think I don't appreciate your efforts to havo things nice for my mother," he said, kiss tig me, "hut you always try to do such elaborate stunts that you get on my nerves." He went out quickly, leaving mo ns In dignant as I was grieved. Ills tono and words were so very patronizing I looked nt tho clock. Half after S! I had Just three hours before me. I looked around tho apartment to sec whnt last touches 1 had to gho things. Dicky's things were all moved from his room Into mine. He had slept In his own room for tho last time the night before, but It would take very little time to put the final touches on tho room that had been his. and which would now belong to his mother.

The bed wnn made up with my finest linen. The dressing table and chiffonier wero covered with pretty linen scarfs, nnd held nothing savo a llowcr vnso nnd n cushion for pins on each. I reasoned that Dicky's mother would have many little things of her own for which she would want plenty of room. A low rocker stood near the only window, nnd hesldo It a rending table. On this I had placed n small water pitcher nnd glass, nn Ink stnnd nnd pen rack nnd a box of plain note paper, envelopes and postcards A tiny stamp book, filled with stamps, lay Just Inside the top of tho box. Two of tho current magazines and a, book recently published were also on tho stand.

(Copyright ) ' (CO.VT1NUKD TOMORROW) Collecting a Tea Set I'nless you hao tried, you do not know what fun It Is to collect n tea set. Hut haxing collected three, 1 do know. My first beginning- was m.ido In n town by tho sea, and In n little shop which peeped out of great high hollyhocks In tho garden Of course, tho "beginning tea set wns most fetching, etcrytlting was In this lit t lo shop. And I remember 1 paid $3.50 for tho tea pot, sugar and cream, nnd siv cups and saucer. Tint wasn't much, was it? This tea set nan of a Japaneso china, such ns I had ncM-r seen before; It wns biscuit colored, with nn occasional decoration In blown, but tho most remnrkablo thing about It was the way In which green splashes had been utilized by the designer to g!o character to the whole I Just loved that tea set' And for ono je.ir I gloried In it as It was. Then I inn across a few more odd bits of it In nuother shop and purchased them. With tint purcliaso I tcalized that I had become n collector, nnd from then on, whenever 1 went to a new place, tho seashore, the mountains or a big citv I spent n small portion nt the tlmo looking for some more of my Japanese china. Ami I usually found nn unexpected piece As a reward for my diligent search 1 am now the proud possessor of enough of tlio china to uio for a luncheon, nnd every pleco has an nFsodatlon. If you do not know tho Joys of collecting some Inexpensive things, do try It! And If j oil lake my ndvlce you will begin on a tea set, for tho talc of Its collecting makes such pleatant talk over tho teacups.

WITH the Idea of doing away with the ue of fur In summer, a well-known de signer lias utilized shaded ostrich feathers for n set consisting of hat, cape nnd bag. This set formed part of the luxuriant ward robe taken by n smart woman to P.tlm Beach. The hat Is n smart turban with a nar row brim of straw nnd n medium-high crown of feathers. The cape extends from the shoulders to the walsttlne, while Hie bag has the appearance of n muff, ns there are openings nt the sides for the hands. This charming novelty Is to be had In shaded tones of rose, green, gray, tan, blue, black-anil-whito nnd yellow, (i npyrlght.) Ham Cakes Any bits f cold ham can be worked up with cold potatoes and made Into quite n tasty dish for luncheon or bteakf.tst. Put the ham through tho food chopper and m'x with n equal quantity of potatoes, using nn egg or not as preferred. Shape Into small cakes, dip In flour nnd fry In pork (salt) or bacon fat. If tho fat from frying bacon Is put Into n jar and pteserted It will be found far superior to lard for fry ing vegetables.

Then add some left-over beef cut up and some gravy and a llttlo water nnd let sim mer nhout three-quarters of nn hour. Just before serving add ono' or two tablespoons catchup. Raw meat may bo used, preferably bottom round, nnd cut It In cubes, but In this case It would havo to simmer nbout two hours or more. Don't pay butter prices for salt. Usually an ounce of salt is added to a pound of butter. This is done for various reasons to relieve flatness, lack of taste or to cover up some un pleasant flavor and sometimes just to add weight.
