Tills gave rise to a very interesting envelopo in Prance. It Is a blue envelope. By this tlmo every one knows that It Is, as a rule, the lieutenant of a company who censors his men's letters. Can you Imagine how much fun It was for tho other fellow the Just plain private person to have tho lieuten ant reading his love letters to the girl of the town's dreams whom he was addressing tenderly at the same time? Think of the advantage. Hence the blue envelope. Who says an army Isn't human? Every week each boy in the service is permitted to have one blue envelope. When n letter Is first incased In this the hated rival with the little bar on his shoulder is absolutely devoid of pawer to read that letter. It is sent to a far distant censor, who never stops once to wonder how much of a Tight that very fresh private has to call THE GIRL dear.

"It's tough on us privates, socially speak ing, sometimes," one of them confided to me, "especially when a girl's mother is around. The mothers seem to have a craze for walking along the street and watching the other fellows salute daughter's best beau." Then I heard another side to the story. He was nice and big and qulto young to have a commission. "Gee." he said, "I wish they'd make the fuss over the officers that they make over the enlisted men. Maybe I wouldn't like to be one of that herd going down to the town hall to have a lot of pretty girls come up and ask me to dance.

Tho United States food administration has a few hints to offer on the subject. Hero Is a day's menu of leftovers with recipes for them given below: LEFTOVER BREAKFAST Stewed Fruit Combination Omelet with Vegetables Cornmeal Circles With Maple Syrup Coffee Milk for Children LEFTOVER LUNCH Puree, of Vegetable Rico with Tomatoes Green Tea Salad in Kgg Cases Coffee Ice Cream LEFTOVER SUPrER Corn Cakes with Tomato Sauce Cottage Cheese and Green Pepper Salad Applo Charlotte Omelet Vt 1 1 It VeKetnliles A breakfast omelet may be arled by spreading it Just before folding with a few green peas or asparagus tips, or a little stewed corn or tomatoes that have been heated and well seasoned. Cornmeal Circles Do not allow leftover cornmeal mush to get perfectly cold before molding It neat it wen, so tnat It will lip perfectly smooth, and pour it Into baking powdd tins, or half an Inch deep In a flat pan, first moistening the tin with cold water. When ready to use, cut In circles half an Inch thick. If molded in a flat sheet, use a biscuit cutter. Roll In milk, then very lightly in flour. Heat a littlo but ter or bacon fat on a baking tin until it bubbles, lay the circles on this and brown lightly in a very hot oen. nice With Tomntoes Seabon about a cupful and a half of stewed tomatoes extra well, adding a little onion Juice If liked. They should he stewed down thick and not watery. Use an equal amount of tomatoes and cold rice. Arrange in layers In a baking dish and sprlnklo each layer of rice with grated cheese before adding the toma toes Finish with rice and cheese on top Heat in oen Just long enough for the cheese to melt. Green Tea Salad In Ecb Cases Cut three or four hard-cooked eggs lengthwise and remove the yolks neatly. Crumble them Into rather large pieces, season with salt and paprika and toss them lightly about in melted butter. M with a cup of well-seasoned cold peas. Sprinkle a little salt and white pepper on the whites, put a spoonful of the peas In each nnd make a border around each white and cover with mayonnaise. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves.

When It Is thoroughly chilled and begins to harden around the edges, beat with a Dover beater, adding gradually tho whipped cream. When stiff enough to drop, pour into mold and chill. The whites of two eggs beat en stiff may bo used Instead of cream, and the charlotte sered with soft cus tard. Please Tell Me What to Do By CYNTHl The Tie That Does Not Bind Dear Cjnthla I have been much inter ested In what the sailors versus "The Girl With a Memory" have hnd to say The young men complain the girls are not true to them. Just what do they mean? Have they given them amthtng to be true to? In other words, have they proposed marriage to them, or are they one of the large num ber of oung folks who are honestly In love and havo what is commonly known as an "understandlnc"? Meaninu that a bov and girl havo been friends nnd sweethearts, dropping alt other friendships, until it Is an nccepted belief among ail their friends that they reallv love each other and will in the course of time marry, although as a matter ot fact the boy nas never actually asked tho girl to marry mm or given her the right to consider herself really engagea to him. It Is surprising now many voung persors, and nice persons at that drift into sucn a condition, me boy in question goa away (to war nowadays). The girl left be hind, probably truly In love with him. Is confronted with the problem as to whether he. not actually having committed himself, will come back to her. or If after she has given up any other intimate boy friends will some day be humiliated by seeing him come home with a wife from elsewhere. I see Tvnthla raising her eebrows and saying "Impossible! There can be no love between bov and girl unless they are engaged." Hut I want to assure you that the condition I described does exist. I will say, however. that nine tim nut of ten the rnndillon leads to honorable and happy marriage. The nine happy ones have ro problems to bring to vou tn solve. Now, Cynthia, go after the bovs and give them a good scolding. They have no right to monopolize a girl's time and expect her to be true to them unless they have given her the right to consider her self engaged to them What do ou say to the following? A littlo girl friend of mine had been sweethearts with nn honorable young man for uulte nome time. There was every reason to think they were really en gagea ne connaea to me tne iaci mat she had a new white dress hidden away (not even her famllv knowing About tb dress) In case he would nek her to marry him before he went to France. Well, he didn't ask her. and he went to France and ha has not written to her once since A MOTHER OK BOYS. You have touched on points that have sent many a mother worrying to bed at night and you have touched on one "f the saddeBt roles that la played in tho war the part taken by the little girl who loves but Is not engaged to the man who has gone away. I like you to think it is the boys who should be scolded. And due to your suggestion the matter will be discussed in the near future in the leading article that appears in the left hand corner of this pare each night, Let us hear from other mothers in the mean time.

For today milady cairles the handbag of beads or other expensive material, and, though there may be not much money Inside the bag, you may rest assured that the bag itself costs a good deal. This sounds as though the women were Interested only in show, but, as a matter of fact, I believe It Is be cause wonitn are convinced that the best Is cheapest in the end. To the woman who has the happy facility of original Ideas or who can copy the Ideas of others and execute them In perfecting the finished product, there is a great deal of real satisfaction in tho style of bags that are In fashion this season. But a bag Jloday must bo .well made, and also of good material to be considered smart.

"flraclous, let me rest a minute," ex claimed Ann. "And If you don't mind, just what is the matter, anyway?" She drew Bnb In the sofa. "Well, it's Just this way," explained Bab. "Doug is coming up tonight, and he's going to bring a nice young man." "Really," said Ann, adding in a dis interested oIce. "Who?" "His namp is Ray Stanley and he was n friend of Doug's In college. He's leav ing with Doug for camp in a few days, and Doug says that they want to make tho most of the short time they have left." "But where do I come In?" asked Ann, for she was Bab's guest. "Where?" repeated Bab. "Why, you big silly! With Ray, of course." But Ann thought otherwise. "Well, I guess I don't come In with any old Ray or any one else for that matter You might have asked my ner misslon before trying to put me oft on Adventures With a Purse HAVI to AVE you ever noticed how easy it is guess at n woman's ago by her hands? Hands and nails that are not well cared for soon grow old. And, after all, a few minutes devoted each day to the nails is Indeed effort well spent. Tho little "nail kit" I discovered today will make you want to fuss over your nail's all the time, for it is Indeed a compact and fascinating little affair. The simple distinctive boic Is about four Inches square, and snugly packed Inside are little packages of all kinds. Here is a round tin of rcjy nail polish and an other of nail bleach. And here is a bot tle of excellent cuticle remover, and there a cake of white nail polish. And then tucked down In one corner you will find a file, an orangewood stick and two tandpaper files for removing rough edges. This is a most complete box, and the amazing part of it Is that the price is only thirty-five cents. Just what to put on a chiffonier or chest of drawers Is cften a problem One's favorite .monogrammed silver would not show so high up, and besides, that belongs on bureau or toilet table. One thing that always looks well and proves ever useful besides Is a little ere. tonne-covered chest. One that I saw today has two drawers with cunning little brass handles and the cretonne Is of a very attractive pattern. One drawer might hold handkerchiefs, while the other would take care of all those hair- Dins. The nrlce is forty-five cents. An other style, with cretonne in rich col ors has three drawers. And, oh I the uses to which those little drawers can be put ! It stands about ten inches high and the price is only seventy-five cents.

AFTER talking with Myrd, Jack had gone on down ,to the office. There he had arranged matters to be out of town a few days, and, going home, he had packed a (bag and without saying anything to any on had left the city. It had been usual for Jack to put In an appearance at the Rowland apartment nearly every night, and, as usual, Ruth expected him on tho eve ning of the most eventful day that she had spent In her life. She was sw pale at dinner and so unusually quiet that her mother remarked about it. Orlm Martha relaxed to thei point of loqua ciousness as Bho waited on the table, and Bobby remarked scathingly that It was silly of them to bo upset about her; she was In love, "Oh, "I don't think so much of Jack Rond," he vouchsafed. "He Isn't a sol dier, and they're what count these days." Ruth flushed, and Mrs. Rowland re proved Bobby. 'IDon't tease your sister; can't you see she's not feeling well?" Bobbv ncered at Ruth and relapsed into silence, until dessert; but when he found that Martha had made chocolate pudding, he was Instantly himself again. "Mother. I havo such a headache that I think I'll telephone Jack not to come over tonight," Ruth said as they rose from the table "Oh, I wouldn't do that, dear; weren't vou co ne to nlan the trip tonignt7 - ,. ,,,- ,., ,' iv , fnlt- about It." Ruth was almost crying. "Well, of course, Ruth, If you are as ill as nil that," Mrs. Rowland persisted. "Only I should think you could see Jack Just a few minutes. Let me give you ono of my headache tablets." "No, mother; I want to He down and be alone, that's all." Ruth was wonder ing If there was a tablet she could take for an aching henrt, for her heart ached so desperately that she wanted to die. She had bungled things all around, and there was no ono to help her, no one she could ask for advice. "Very well." Mrs. Rowland rejoined, and Ruth could tell by her voico that she disapproved. It didn't matter, though; she would telephone Jack not to come nnd then she would go away Into her own room and close tho door and be nlonc. Alone with her unhappl ness, alone with another possibility that until today she had not dreamed of. It was that possibility mere than any other than Ruth wanted think about. Twice during tho day this strange new emotion had stirred in her heart, and she longed to be alone with It; sne wanted to know if It were really true., She stood In the hall hesitating until her mother spoko to her again. "I don't think you have treated Jack at all nicely theso last few weeks,' she observed. "He has been more than con siderate of you, and Is planning to give .. .,..r,.ihin n. elrl could want.

"Will you?" The possibility of not having to talk to Jack tonight was ap pealing. "Certainly. Do you want to curl up here on the couch while I call up? Then I'll put you to bed." Ruth dropped on the couch wearily. She waited mpreuto know that she would not bo disturbed than because she wished to do as her mother .asked. he could hear her mother's voice speaking Into the telephone, :md It sounded unreal and far away. "Hello, Is this Mrs. Bond," said Mrs. Rowland. "Yes, I am calling up f6r Ruth. She Is tired out tonight, and I am going to put her right to bed. Will you tell Jack?" "Ask to speak to Jack yourself, mother, and tell him, won't you?" Ruth inter posed. "What's that?" Mrs. Rowland was say ing. "He's not at home? O, then he's probably on his way over here now." Ruth started up at that. But her mother's voice went on, gathering In sur prise every second. "O, he's out of the city, gone away on business? O, I see, thank you, yes, I'll tell her.".
