How Happv She Could Bo With Either To the Fdltnr of Woman's Paor: Dar Madsm Won't you give me the benefit of jour advice? There are two boys comlne to see me regularly. The first on Is Just my s. twenty, while the other one Is a jesr or tnn older. Both sre nice looking snd show m n rood time. One of them saja he loves me. and although the other has not said so. 1 know h does. I know my parents would like either ot them. Is there sny way I can makn up my mind which one I really love? MARGARET. If there Is a shadow of doubt In your mind, you evidently do not love either of the young men. You had better wait a year or two ; you are still young. Youths Pursue Them To the Editor ot Woman's Pacrs; Dear Madam I am a youns clrl of sixteen, not try tood-looklnjr, although I have nice clothes. lily friend Is the same are, and we are always together. There ar two boys on tha street and whenever they meet us tske It as a good time to stop and talk or cut up In soma way. and both our parents object to this very much, as they dislike them. Could you give us any advice how we could associate with another crowd and avoid these boys? Or. do jou think we are too young to go out with bars? GAIL AND CONNIE. You can very easily avoid stopping and talking to these boys if you do not care to do so. Have you no other friends at school with whom you could associate? A girl Is nover too young to nave noys as playmates ; but at sixteen you should not bo having silly love affairs. Luncheon of Eight Courses To the Editor of Woman's Page: Sear Madam Will you kindly suscest a luncheon of eight courses tor a party ot tetl girls? I would like It to be as Inupcnslvo as possible, but still I want nice things. What would you suggest for favors; KDNA. As we cannot bo too patriotic these days, why not use small flags and red, whlta and blua flowers on tha table? For favors use tha tiny, old-fashioned bouquet holder of whlta paper lace and fill it In the center with a red rose, a row of lilies of the valley and a row of violets. Tie tha weo bouquets with red, white and blue ribbon. An eight-course, luncheon Is bound to be rather expensive, as It must Include a fish course and an entree. Since you specify eight courses, however, the following would be about the cheapest: (1) Oyster cocktail ; (2) clear consomme, with alphabet noodles; (3) lobster cutlets, cream dressing; (4) broiled french lamb chops, green peas, potato balls; (6) sweet bread and mushrooms, creamed and served In pattl shells; (6) salad of apple and cel ery, pimento cheese, crackers and hard bis cuits ; (7) Ice cream meringues, fancy cakes, candles, salted nuts; (S) coffee In demi tasses, served In tha drawing room after luncheon. This seems a rather elaborate luncheon for ten girls. Why not give them five or six, courses at the most, as : (X) Fruit cup; (2) puree of tftmato soup, croutons; (2) broiled chicken, peas, potato balls; () asparagus, tip salad, crackers, cheese; (5), whipped cream meringue, can dles, salted nuts; (6) coffee served in demi tasses. The first luncheon, not counting the flowers, may be procured within twelve dollars, the second about seven, and the second Could be made less expensive by substituting lamb chops (or the broiled chickens. wm, .. , PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS I WENT home about noon and sot twenty cents out of my father's pocket for a can of sardines and a loaf of bremJ. When I got thorn I mooched a piece of doe; meat for rtowdy which I fried half of and it was good. Then Ilowdy and I rambled.

I went n wholn day onco with nobody telling me they Miould think my mother would turn oier In lier gr.ne, I saw two men fight on tho street snd they med half a brick and a stick and a cntt of corn and a loaf of bread nnd a bag of sugar nnd a elrtn of bacon and one got hit faco rubbed on tho pavement and tho other got his coat torn and tho pe troleum wngon camo nnd took them both nnd It wna cry exciting nnd satisfying 1 wish Old Maid Tompkins had r-een it for sho wns good to me I hfd the sldo of bacon till I camo back, Then wa went out to the very end of the street and turned off down to tho river and It was very warm and thcro wasn't any wind nnd wo walked beside, the river until wo was gone quite a way and then wo came to a plntn on the hnnk whero there were a lot of clothes nnd a lot of boys In swim ming. They were Wilbur Carpenter and all tho boyn on our street and they were splashln' and dlvln' until they raw mo nnd then thoy sunk Into tho water until only their chins nnd enrs and nosei and eyei nnd hair were out. They said, "Clo away from here " I said, "You ain't my boss " Then 1 said, "you kids know your mothers do not want you to go in nwlmmln' In that river." Then Wilbur Carpenter said, "What's it to you?" I said, "I will show you what It's to me.

An easy way to detect them Is to note the spot where the bulb was scaled. Artificial pearls aro also made by another method. The glass bulb 1b coated on the Inside with 10 per cent gelatin solution, allowed to dry only partially, and then a small amount of sodium phosphate added, nnd the coating dried very slowly. The Iridescence Is an extraordinary optical effect caused by mlnuto wrinkles, parallel, formed on the gelatin.

Itcverso and repeat the process from the other side. All this should be done as soon as posslblo after tho stain has been made.

They wouldn't do It and I remained thcro sceral hours, but they were stubborn. At last I told them that I should get some stones nnd bounco off their heads and I went to do It, but there were no stones, though I kept looking and going for a long way and didn't find nothing but some pieces of dried mud. I went back with them, bu. the hoys had got their clothes and gone and tho water looked oo good that I went In and tlowdy went In too and wo paddled around nnd It was fun. Then I camo out and dried my clothes In what was left ot tho sun and wo rambled for home. Tho bacon was all covered with red ants when I got It, but they hadn't eaten enough of It so you could notice It. I brushed off the nnts and the bacon wni all right.

Cheese Is nt hnportancn hecatlo of Its high nutrltiv value, particularly It? high percentage of pioteln or imuscle-f nilng materials, be cause of tho ease wiv which It can bo kept and prepared for th table and because of its appetizing flavor and the great variety of ways In which It can be served. Judged by the kind of nutrients It sup plies, chiefly nitrogenous material and fat, and the proportions In which they nre pres ent, It resembles such foodstuffs as meat, fish and eggs, which means that, like them, Its rational use In the dle is in combination with other staplo foods to form well-balanced meals. Ilxperlments have shown that when eaten cither raw or carefully cooked, cheese Is as thoroughly digested as other staplo foods nnd Is not likely to produce psyslologlcal disturbance. An ounco of cheese, roughly. Is equivalent to ono egg. to a glas3 of milk or to two ounces of meat. Although uncooked cheese resembles meat In composition, cheese dishes prepired after ordinary recipes, with milk and shortening, aro likely to contain moro fat than the usual meal. If little fat is ordinarily used, this may be an advantage. If a great deal of fat Is ordinal lly used. It may bo desir able to lessen the nmount In tho cheese dishes. This can readily be done by omit ting the shortening and using skim milk or water in the preparation of such dishes, a change which also lessens their cost. The fact that cheese, like meat, contains neither starch nor cellulose suggests that, like meat, it should bo conblncd with bread, potatoes and other starchy foods, with vegetables and with sweets.
