THIS IS THE OPEN
FQk LOSING YOUR "PEP"
The Valie of Securing a Short Furlough-Curious
Will Reflects Eighteenth-Century
Attitude Toward Women
HAVK you lost your "pep"? Are you
flehttne vour work? This Is the tlmo
sip of year when many of us nro sufferlnc
from colds or the effects of crlt. and
somehow It seems Impossible to get hack
Into trim ncnln.
If you nro feeling like this take a few
days off nml get out. of town.
Of course, you will say that this Is
your busy season, and you simply cun't
pare tho time, or that you can't afford
uch n. luxury ns a few days or a week
at tho shore.
But It Is curious how, when you are
taken seriously 111, there is ulways some
one to take your place, temporarily, at
least, and, too, you do manage to afford
the doubtful luxury of a spall of sickness,
even though you feel you must forego
soma of the clothes you had coveted for
your spring wardrobe.
Sickness Is one of the most dis
couraging things In life Feeling mis
erable, one feels that nothing Is worth
while after all. "Work loses Its comnen
satlons and play Is just n, bore. Misfor
tunes seem to pile up at n time like this;

The question of whom to Invite to a debu

a matter of perhoim! choice. It Is a gracious
thing to consult with your guest of honor
as to whether she would like some of her

good form for you to ask them, even If

often done. On the other hand, it would

A 12 o'clock wedding breakfast is ipilie

tomary to serve croquettes, chicken salad,
broiled oysters, patties, Ices, cakes, bonbons
and wine at this hour, its well as In the
afternoon or evening. Of course, a fur
less elaborate breakfast may be served.
Sandwiches, claret cup. IceH, cake and bon

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELK GARMSON
AH Till! full realisation of what Jack
Xxmcant to do came to mo I dashed to
the door of Mrs. .Stewart's upstairs sitting
room with a wild Idea of calling him back.
He must not meet my husband, even
though his purpose was lo send him to me.
I knew Dicky's hot, quick, ungovernable
temper nnd .Inck's more deadly slow rage.
Dicky would totally misunderstand .lack's
reasons for coming. I was afraid that tho
things my husband might say toiny hrtither
cousln would hr too much for .lack to hear.
Hut my rush came ton late,' As I opened
the door t hentd the outside door close,
and nti Instant later Mrs. Ktcwart's voice
evidently addressing the empty air;
"Well, now, what do you know about
that?"
Of course, It was Impossible- for mo to u
lulo the street to call .lack back, as with
a heavy heart 1 relurned to my chair anil
waited for Mrs. Stewart. The Idea of tele
phoning came to my mind, then tho lemein
branco of his angry face and cutting words
stopped me. No matter what happened my
solf-respect would not permit me to moe
first toward n reconciliation.
Mrs. Stewatt was not long In coming.
She hustled Into the room with clean table
linen over her arm, In the same energetic
fashion I had known and admired so many
ea rs
With the deft, quick movements which
ate as much u part nf her as are her sharp,
twinkling fjfs. she removed her wotk bas
ket and some bonks front her reading table,
pushed It nearer the open flro nnd laid the
cloth with places for two.
"What possessed Jack lllckett to rush
away like that when he had promised to eat
his Inst supper with me?" she grumbled.
A ItKtil'LAH OI.D-TIMi: KIMllSAn
I did not answer, for I knew, by ex
perience that she would talk on and on
about eierjthlng In general. If she hap
pened to hit upon a fresh grievance she
would forget the original one. 1 devoutly
hoped something would happen to mar Un
usually good serxlie she received front her
maids, anything lo dlvett her attention
from Jack's reasons for leaving.
"Ho can't fool me with his lame excuse
of 'something highly Important he had for
gotten,' " she went on. laying the napkins
opposite each other with geometrical )re
clslon. "Somethings lit the wind.'' She
gavo me n shrewd glanCe as she went to
a little old-fashioned coiner rtiphoaid built
into the wait and took out pepper, salt, mus
tard, oil and vinegar. The homely prepa
rations took me back to the days when
Mrs. Stewart would smuggle my mother nnd
myself Into her sitting room for supper,
keeping the meal a secret from the other
hoarders because of tho petty Jealousy
which might testilt.
"Seeing you take out those condiments
reminds me of old times," I said.
"Old times that would better have con
tinued." she retorted crossly, taking out a
tiny Jar of strawberry ptesetves of her own
making, a dainty of which she knew I was
particularly fond.
My heart almost echoed her words. Surely
the peace, and quiet of the old tlnss at Mis
Stewart's, even with their deadly monot
ony, were better than the kaleidoscopic
teinpestous life 1 had led as Uiiky's wife
"How good nf you tn Ihlnk of (hose
strawberry preseives!" I made another des
perate effnrt tn change the subject.
"They've been waiting right here for you
or .Inck Hlckett ever since I put them up
I wouldn't waste them on the trash I've got
in the house now."
Kven tlnotigh my nilsety I smiled, as I
had done many times before, at the peculiar
attitude held by Mrs. Stewart toward the
boarders In her house. Her house wns a
model for comfort, service and cuisine; she
did everything she could for tho comfort of
her "paying' guests." but admit the most of
them to any Intimacy whatever she would
not. i
JS MltS. STHWATtT CLAIRVOYANT?
"We'll make It a tegular old-time spread,"
she went on kindly, taking down cups,
saucers and plates of thin, old china, which
I knew she prized because tiiey had been
her mother's. She never alfowed the maids
to touch them, washing them herself In her
own sitting loom upon the rate occasions of
her using them
"Oh. Mrs. Stewatt!" I ptotested. "I am
always so afiald of breaking one of those
pieces !"
"Nonsense, child!" she leturned. "You're
not the kind that bleaks things unless It's
a heart," she went on In a lower lone. "I'm
ufrald you'VH done that without meaning It "
A knock at the door saved me a reply, for
which I was grateful. I knew that she
meant Jack's heart, nnd I most certainly
did not wish her to ptitsue that subject any
further.
"That's Annie's knock. I thoughf it was
tlmo they were getting themselves up here "
She opened the door'as she spoke, apparent
ly regardless of whether the maids heard
her or not.
I was dismayed as f looked at the array
of covered dishes 1 felt as If 1 could not
touch a morsel of food, yet how Could I re
fuse to eat without offending Mrs. Stewart.
"Luckily I had planned some of your fa
vorite dishes for the regular dinner tonight."
she said, beaming as Annie deposited a
steaming chafing dish upon tho table.
"Here's your Mnrvland creamed chicken, my
dear, and Krench fried potatoes. These lima
beans have the sauce you used to like. too.
and I'm going to dress this tomato and let.
'luco salad myself. Do you remember how
you used to like that French dressing 1
made with the dry mustard In It?"
"Do I remember?" I smiled at her, but
It was a smile that hid tears, for I wns near
breaking down. "I would bo an ungtateful
girl ever to forget any of the thoughtful
things you used to do for the littlo mother
and me."
"J'ooh! pooh! I never did Anything that
hurt me," Mrs. Stewart returned. "That
will do now, girls." She dismissed the
maids abruptly and slipped some bllces of
bread Into the electric toaster one of them
had attached to a socket and placed upon
the table.
"Now, my dear, If you will Just sit up
here we'll have n cory little supper, and
then when you've calmed down a little you
will tell me all about It. Maybe the old
woman can help you straighten out things a
little."
I looked at her In amazement. I had told
her nothing of my quarrel with Dicky. Wat
she clairvoyant or had Jack given her a
hint?"
"What do you mean?" I faltered,
"Eat your supper," he commanded
brusquely. "That's the first thing."

tins Is called "Homemade Klreless Cookers
and Their Use" and should be In Ihe pos

that many homemakers havo a prejudice
against tho tireless cooker. Some -.believe
It does not save much, or that It Imparts
an odor to tho food, and so forth, This
booklet gives some Interesting Information
which will convince the most doubting home
maker that tho flreless cooker dererveB n

It tells exactly how you can make n
flreless' cooker with the aid of a strong
packing box, hinges, metal container for
your cooking vessel, and a cushion stuffed
with excelsior. It tells how you can boll
und steam and prepare any food which
requires Inng, slow cooking.

Sleamed or boiled pudding, beans and many
other foods which In themselves aio cheap

No salting for
weight no wet
wrappers for
weight. It's all
