Bonnie was suffering And I was the cause I will do something find some nay to make him see things as thy nre But now t would see George Arnold again. I said the name oer softly to mself. As we went Into the house. I rang for Julia. "Would Vou do my hair to-, night?" "With pleasure, Miss Lane." I Jumped Into a warm, fragrant bath. I put on my daintiest things ' Then I touched the button beside my bed, and asked for Julia. "Shall I do your hair high, with curls?" Some Instinct guided my choice. "No. simply, as last night, with the tiny sller ribbon " My hair was done. Again I slipped Into my little white frock of chiffon. I had worn It every evening at Longue Vue But he had never seen It, I did not leave my room until seven. At the turn of the stairs I met Mrs. -hby She was even more stunning than usual She was dressed In tanacer scarlet She seemed more like the "Car men" than ever. Long black earrings swung from her ears. A black onjx band rlrcled onp bare, white arm MargOt was already In the drawing room She was posed In a high-backed chair of heavy oak. Against It she was lovely. Mysterious and enticing, the green lights In her stiange eyes were enhanced by her sea-green frock. I felt like an untried schoolgirl there. Well I might ; for George Arnold acknowledged my presence only with a bow. Then he was caught in the quick light banter of their talk But Bennle. too. sat silent. He did not look at me Did not seem to notice my presence. But I knew he was aware of the slightest turn of my head It happened when the desert was brought In. Margot told a story slightly risque. Thsn Mrs Ashby followed It by another. i ery one burst Into roars of laughter. But the color burned In my cheeks, and my eyes were on my plate "Only to get away." I thought. The next moment I was still startled, frightened. For Mr. Arnold was on his feet. "I drink to the girl who can still blush. Miss Lane" They drank the toast, but there was a subtle difference. No one told another story. . And when the men rejoined us rn the drawlnR-room, George Arnold stepped to my side. Mond.) A Letter 1 Written YESTERDAY'S ANSWERS 1.

EVKRY provident and patriotic woman mind Is thinking of canning Just now But .1 great many have vague fears canning sounds like such a high brow process to those who have never tried It Looking at the matter from a distance, too, canning seem's to require so much paraphernalia. Well, this Isn't true. Canning Is neither high-brow nor does It require a lot of tools that have to be bought. Fruits and vegetables may be succes fully canned with very simple and cheap appliances. Thousands of women, girls and boys every year can fruits and vegetables successfully with home-made equipment tn fact, eo successfully that many find a profitable outside market for their surplus home-canned prod ucts. 1 To can almost any fruit or vegetable or fruit Juice especially for home use the conserver needs only: The Wisdom of A Daily Fashion Talk THE decided change which Is taking place in the routine of the 'life of tlje present American woman is leaving its irark on her mental attitude toward everything, and many things that here tofore seemed vitally important to her happiness are never even given a pass. Ing thought, while common sense Is very much in the limelight. One of the strongest Indications that common sense Is very much with us Is the Interest women are taking In the buying of corsets. Hitherto, many women have seen the corset as an' un important adjunct, They now realize If they are to be correctly costumed in the business or public world the correct corset ranks as the most Im portant part of the coBtumlng. It Is also' vital to health. A corset that fits gives them the substantial aid that noth ing else can do. It is a well-known fact that for years the doctors fought the corset, as an In jurious piece of wearing apparel, but as science has developed, the doctors, now pot "only advocate corsets, but re quest that a woman who desires to do her best work should vvear a corset that fits and one that lias been con structed on- scientific lines, which Is the, case of all the representative makes now offered- .Every woman miy secure this help, be, she rich or povr. as, the selling price is also figured carefully, ao that, the poorer, sister may be made Just as comfortable as the wontan who works because she enjoys it, and not because It is necessary.

A false bottom for the processing ves sel Is practically an essential.

Since all successful canning Is depend ent upon sterilization by means of heat. It Is most Important to apply sufficient heat to really sterilize the product. Do not let filled Jars cool before they are sealed. Seal them tight while they are still hot from the bath. The hotter the product when sealed the less chance that molds and bacteria from the air will enter the Jar. live and cause the canned goods to spoil. , The Jars must be absolutely airtight hermetically sealed. The slightest leak anywhere tn a Jar or can at the rubber ring or through a crack means that the air, carrying with It germs, may enter and the product will not keep. Bear In mind that the hot product In the Jars will shrink a little when It begins to cool- This shrinkage will draw air Into the Jar If the seal Is not perfect and there Is the slightest opening. Molds, yeasts and bacteria are likely to be car ried In by the air and the very things the conserver tried to kill by heat and keep out by sealing are present In the Jars and all effort and labor Is lost. Examine Jars or cans carefully. Throw aside bent lids, even If the lower Up Is dented only slightly. Discard jars with faulty screw threads or unevenneas where -the rubber must fit. Take no chances with leaks. Every leaky con tainer must be reprocessed and sealed absolutely tight before It can be expected to keep. Use only new rubbers and test them by stretching between the thumb and forefinger. It the rubber does not spring back It la dead. Don't use It.

M Alice Kent and the Day's Work The Story of a Business Girl Who Would Not Fail By MARTHA HEELER Copyright. IBIS, by XXIV RICHARD and I were among the-lasl to leave the scene of the lawnf fes tival. As we drove home In the moon light I forgot the unkind comments of Miss l'lnk Parasol and, Instead of being a gfrl from nobody knew where who tried to make a living by going from door to door In Wessex canvassing I became for the time being the well informed young lady to whom a tall figure turned for counsel on matters varied and debatable. Richard was. my senior by almost six years and to have him ask myioplnlon about anything was extremely flatter ing, especially as In each Instance (with the sole exception of canvassing) he conveyed the Impression of accepting my say-so as the last word on that sub ject. Also, he listened with an air of absorbed Interest to whatever else I could find to talk about; this wasn't much, since except for answering his questions I much preferred listening to him Arriving at the farmhouse we found Mrs. Carruth waiting up to give mo the nourishment she insisted on my having every evening an eggilog; " also to hear about the lawn party and to have a good visit with her son. I felt guilty, anyway, that all evening she had been deprived of his society when he had already been absent In Rutland a whole week, so I lost no time In making way with the eggnog and bidding them good night. Next morning I was up betimes, pick ing rosea for the breakfast table while they were. still drenched with dew. This was my last day with the Carruths and I meant to make the most of It : having set beforehand the time of my departure I felt that I must not now postpone It, although Richard, like the other members ot the household, urged me to. Had I followed my own Inclina tions undoubtedly I would have lingered, at least for a few days, until I was sure that Mrs, Modry had returned to Bell tngton : but I had the handicap of the New England conscience. It was born The Art of Cooking Rice Southern people, who use more rice than the other people of the United State, have many good methods of cook ing It. They will tell .you that rice, when well cooked, has each grain well swollen but separate from every other grain. To Boll Rice Southern Style Have a quart of water boiling rapidly. AHd a level teaspoonful of salt Wash a cupful of rice carefully and add it a little at a time, slowly so that the boil ing does not stop. Boll for about twenty minutes or until a grain taken between the finger and thumb is soft. Dialn through a colander and pour a little hot water through the rice to sepal ate the grains. Cover with a cloth and set In a warm place on the stove for about ten minutes to allow the grains to swell, or place It In the upper part of a double boiler over hot water, cover and allow to steam. If you cook rice In this way the water In which the rice Is cooked should be saved, as. much starchy ma terial Is left In it. Use It for thickening soups. One cupful of raw rice makes four cupfuls of boiled rice. Other Ways t Cook Rice -Some peo ple prefer to cook rice in a double boiler, so that none of the food material Is lost If you cook rice in this way, use only two and a half or three cupfuls of water to one cupful -of rice. Have the water boiling tn the upper part of the double boiler, add a teaspoon of salt and a cup of well-washed rice. Cover and allow to cook over water until the grains are soft. When rice Is cooked In this way, the product Is more moist than when cooked southern style, so when used In scalloped dishes or In breads less liquid is required. Rice Cooked In Milk If you have Flenty of skim milk, try this way: Use our or four and a half cupfuls of milk to one cup of rice. Add the rice to the hot salted milk and cook until the milk Is absorbed and the grains soft. The milk greatly Increases the food value of tho dish. Rice prepared In any of these ways may be used for making many dishes. Scouring the Floor Before scouring your floor, sprinkle a good washing powder mixed with sand over It.

At last I "P18'"0.,'.1?,.!. felt In duty bound to wt te Jr. Hll-IMC afi soon as possible abou giving up tns canvassing. ,., "But why can't o wrlte,.l.h";.

Say, Alice, why not let me write to him? I'd like nothing- better thjn to tell him my opinion of the chap who set you to canvassing" At this I was up In arms. "Hes not to blame I You know I wanted work. "Yes, and It war almost the death of yqu." At Intervnls all (lay he kept recurring to the canvassing after sup per he and his mother look me In the buggy back1 to Belllngton. After fare wells had been said and Mrs. Carrutth had assured me she would cpme to eee me soon, Dick called out, as I stood on the doorstep of my boaraing-bouM, "Don't take any mora chances with a Job like that" , , NEW-STYLE WINDOW BOX Nasturtiums and Geraniums Turned Out to Admit Row of Onions There Is a new style In window boxes, A woman In San Francisco, CaU started It. Mrs Hugo Mansfeldt has a larffe music studio, but she became so Inter ested in the War Oarden Army that she couldn't stand It to think she didn't have an inch of ground to dedicate to Uncle Sam. So she tore the gersnlums and nar cissus and nasturtiums out of her long row of picturesque window boxes and planted onions, radishes ana carrots In stead. She hadn't made this change In her window decorations for longer than a day before her neighbors In the sur rounding studios began to follow the, fashion, and now every studio building In San Francisco and Uii Angeles and half of the business houses of San Diego have miniature gardens on the window ledges. This sounds like a joke coming from California ; but It was no Joke w hen tt reached New Tork. Tile settlement workers there caught tit Idea, and so have the children of the tenement dis tricts. Llttlo Isldor Jacobs, of Cherry . Hill, and Qudo Bacct Gilupl, of Mul berry Bend, have put out an onion garden on a fire ' escape of their re spectlve homes, and woe to any stray cat that dares intrude upon the sacred precincts of those gardens. .Teaching Conienslion In Delaware a colored woman has been employed to teach food conservation to the colored peqple.
