That Not Youth Alone
For Granted
Isn't her fault that she had to crow
up and achieve the aire when nil girls
more or less are supported to get mar
ried. But -my, how It does chase a
man away to know that he l suspect
ed of having Intentions before he
knows whether he would like to have
them or not.
It did not chase this young : :rx
away. It happens, but it caused . ram.
thine far worse fulirirated a mar
rlago that starts off with the obstacle
of uncortalnt'.
YOTJNO people, have to live their
own lives; anil most young people
are Rood and sincere and want to do
the thing that Is best. That Is vrhy It
Is mean and so Immeasurably hurtful
for parents to try to pour the lives
and hopes nnd lores nf their children
Into Ircm molds forged by themselves.
Tnkc the cane -of the girl cited by her
self In this letter. To fight her way
out of this understanding would have
meant living In hot water with her
people nil the time; and yet It chased
away all the other nice young mn
who would like to have come to see
her. How much a girl 1. this Is to
be pitied. There are thoee who think
helng nt loggerheads with the family.
breakfast, dinner and supper, Is not a
real trial. Hut they do not Know. Any
real girl who loves the things ot home
wilts In this atmosphere nnd at times
will make almost any concessit i to
have It cleared.
a. ND so those of -my readers who -are
A. wondering why this girl who writes
did not set her foot down and refuse
to bo paired off with womo one of her
family's choice, or at leant Ire willing
to weather any amount oT disagree
ableness In order to avoid It, must look
at the matter in that tight. I feel It
would be of Interest to have opinions
from readers on this ease. What
should tho girl have done In the first
place, and what Is there for her to
do now?

It ts decidedly bad form -to write tet

A girl Is of ege at twenty-one 1n

How to Get Acquainted
Dear rynthla t am a ynunc boy rlrjhteen
veara old. new In the pfttir and would like
the city and would
to meet some nice sLrle of Ttiy ane. I do
not know any one here and Don t havt the
opportunity of meeting ttttm. Can you auc-
eet a wy7 . noittll.
A good way to meet girls is to Join
some clam In a night sohool -where there
are both boys and girls. You oan take
up various subjects and learn imrnethlng
as well as get acquainted. The gtrri
are as a rule sociable, (thing little
parties, etc., and Inviting ins beys.
Through these girls you will meet others.
Go to church suppers, etc and you will
meet nice girls. Ask 'one of the older
women to Inttoduce you to some. Take
one or the women Into your confidence
and she will tie gliul to help ynu. An
other way is to Join tbe T. M. a A.
The boys there often nek the ones with
out dates to go out wlrh them to parties,
etc. War-rellef affairs, however, are
plentiful and you will have no trouble
getting acquainted through them.

IN A CAN OF SALMON
Cattage Pic, Chowder, Cvtlets,
Omelet and Scalloped Dish
Given Here
A oan of salmon surely deserves a
star plsre mi the emergency shelf
Many a housewife has had occasion to
rise up and call It blessed when unex
pected cortrpsny comes. And over and
above this, when there Is no one hut the
family around salmon has the attrac
tive saving grace of being Inexpensive.
Here are recipe reprinted from lie
rail's that tell novel ways 1n which
salmon oan be used In breakfast, dinner
and supper dishes:
Halmon Chowder
Tare and dice six large potatoes and
put to boll In one quart of water. Peel
and slice two onions, Kaute In the fat
from one-fourth pound of emit pork,
diced. "When the pnbm Is yellow turn
It and the fat into the kettle containing
the potato and allow to boll until the
tmtato will cut enslly. Add one can of
salmon, free from skin nnd hones, the
oil and one quart of milk. Add salt and
black pepper to thstr. When It bolls re
move from stove and cover the top with
split crackers, when It is ready to serve,
llemember a real chowder always con
tains pork and onions, and before cook
ing there should be two quarts of liquid
to one nf solids.
Steamed ffalmnn
While one-hair cupful or milk and the
same quantity of bread crumbs are
cooking to a smooth paste, free one can
of salmon from skin and nones, flake it,
add salt, pepper and two tabrhtpoonfula
of Juice. Htlr Into this the hread and
milk, add two eggs befttrn light, pour
Into a buttered mold and wtenm twenty
five or thirty minutes. This may he
made with one egg. but It will not keep
Its .shape so well. t Serve with white
auoc, to which one' cupful ot -peas haa
been added.
Batmon Cutlets
Hemove skin, ImncH nnd oil from one
can of nalmqn, mla with one tahlrwpoon.
ful of lemon Sulce, add one cupful of
thick white entice. Htlr well, turn on
a .plate to cool, then divide Into twelve
portions and -shape like cutlets. Bent
an egg slightly, roll cutlets In crumbs,
then Jn egg, then crumbs again and try
until nrown. Garnish according to taste.
I'wM-te Tl
Line a pudding dish With hot. mashed
and eessoned potatoes one tn one nnd a
Hair Inches In thickness; nil the center
with creamed salmon seasoned with
onion. Cover With mashed potatoes,
brush over the top with melted butter
or milk and baVe a delicate brawn.
flatmen LnaTes
L'aa one roll lor each person, cut off
the top, eonp out the crumha. brush in
side and outside with melted butter aa
leave In hot oven until brown. Fill these
cases with creamed salmon containing
chopped narsley. Cover and .serve.
Salmon Omelet
Make an omelet In your favorite way,
adding one-half cupful of flaked salmon
to each three rg in the mixture. Cook
as usual, but befere folding -spread one
cupful of the salmon over the top.
Heatlaoeel ftahnen
Iut Into a medlum-slxed agate dish a
layer of salmon, a layer ot white aauee,
a layer ot cracker crumbs, a grating of
onion; repeat, covering the top with
crumbs. Sake In a hot oven until brown.
THINGS TO KNOW
Beating a piece ot ice Into mayonnaise
that is ourdied will make It smooth
again. Beat steadily until the ice is
melted. This is a tried and true trick
that haa come trom an exptrt house
Veener. A handy pocket tor storing paper
hags, strings, etc., can be made hy tack
ing a square ot stout material on th
pantry door.
In place ot wrapping linens In blue
tissue Daiior. which kerns them tram
turning yellow, try blue cheesecloth. This
Is more economical and less annoying
as It does not tear.
Puttlnr a socket on the Inside of a
kitchen apron Is an net of wisdom, aa
t cannot eaten on tnings ana tear as
t docs on the outside.
Women Speeding Up
Owing to the' demands of the new
draft In withdrawing men from produc
tive service. 1t Is estimated that S.trttO,.
009 women wltl be needed to fill the
positions now held by men and to In
crease the working forces ot war work
plants to speed up production.

SIMPLICITY IS
KEYNOTE OF FROCK
Thii (town of embroidered black
atin U fashioned on tbe popular
chemise dresd lines. A deep band
of beaver fur edge the frock
A DHy Faihion Talk by Florence Rote
REaAltnt.KSS of the fact that early
In the season It was rumored that
the chemise dress, which had been pop
ular with the designers of Paris for ao
Jong, would not be featured again this
season, the majority or tne neat nouses
continue to show this style of frock.
One might say that the simple line- of
the chemise dress had proved too allur
ing to the women and, therefore, of
too great Value to the dressmakers to he
alven un. So one can dehy thai! this Is
not a oomfortalile style, and in this
original It wa a very simple affair. But
no more I fclmple It may he, tn one sense
of Uv word, but surely one never lees
ne of iheae frocks nowadays that Is
made of an Inexpensive material. Te be
perfectly truthful, the chemise trock. or
rather the majority of the chemlso
frocks, reflect studied simplicity. How
ever, this does not appear to be any
drawback to their popularity, for the
rumher of dresses on the chemise lines
has greatly Increased slnco the season
stnrted.
When I used the expression, "studied
simplicity." I had in mind the dress that
Is Illustrated today. Could any dress
be more simple In cut than this frock?
Certalnlr not. Ah. but the material and
the elecoration make quite another story.
Here ts where the dresa goes Into the
luxury clatts. For not alone is the frock
made of a tieautlful quality ot black
satin, hut the entire dress Is embroidered
tn an elaborate design ot Chinese Inspir
ation. It is hard to -concelVe In one's
Imagination the wonder ot this em
broidery carried out In terra-cotta
shaded silks on. the black satin. The
girdle is tike a rope of Silk and ta fin
ished 'at the ends with tassels and Chi
net -ornaments. A deep band of beaver
trlmrthe lower edge of the dress.
Worn with this frock la a large hat
of black velvet, which has a moderately
stxrd soft crown of the velvet. Dlsck
ostrich encircles the crown at the head

THItEK months before, Ituth Rowland
would haVa felt a sense of exalta
tion In walking out anywhere with Jack
Hond. Rhe Would have been elated at
the fact that she felt well dressed; she
would have been buoyant at the pros
pect of receiving admiration from passers-by
and of knowing that Jack noticed
that admiration nnd was proud. On the
day that she and Jack had gone to buy
the rlnfi she had been happy: today, as
she walked out Into the sunslne In her
new squirrel coat, and with jacK Desiae
her In his blue navy uniform, she felt no
sense of elation, only a heaviness and a
consciousness that she must constantly
combat that guilty feeling.
"I have a surprise for you," Jack said.
as they walked down the street.
, "Jack, what have you been doing
now? Oh! t hope It Isn't something ex-travea-ant."
Ituth remonstrated.
"We have to be extravagant once In
a while; but wait till you see It. Even
you won't have the heart to scold me."
"Is It at the apartment i- Ana iium
evinced a slight Interest.
Jack grinned and noddfd. Thy Were
on the way to the apartment te see a
few of tho new things that had arrived
and to plan where to put them, and at
this surprise that Jack spoke of Ituth
felt onlv a new demand on hrr gratitude,
for that wag alt that she felt any of the
time.
Jiiat as the aun had streamed In on
that first day when Jack had brought
her to the atfartment, aa It streamed
In over everything today, only this tlm
the lovely little rooms were almost en
tirely furnished. Ituth had helped to
select mftny of the things herself, but
there was 'something that stretched
across one corner of the living room that
made her open her eyes in amaiement.
Something big and cumbersome, gleam
Ing and reflecting lights from Its pol
ished surface.
"Jack.'' she gasped: "a piano 1"
He grinned boyishly, delighted at
her surprise and conscious IhBt his silec
tlon could not be disputed.
"I hoped you would like It," he ex
plained. "Vou dee It's my Wedding pres
ent to you. I wanted it to be a surprise,
and yet I hardly knew what was safe to
select tor you without having you see It
first, and so I asked your roomer, ana
we decided on th piano,"
"And mother knew all along?"
"Tes, Indeed, she helped select It Rhe
said she knew you had alwaya wanted a
piano; and at first I was afraid you
couldn't get a grand Into this place ; but
t picked th smallest one made."
"Oh, Jack. s la beautiful 1 I don't
know any one who has had such beau
tiful things given to her aa I have."
Ituth hesitated. She knew that thanks
6f a certain kind were due to Jack, and
she dreaded giving them ; It waa such an
effort to force her emotions )ust now,
when everything pulled at them, any
way!
She turned toward Jack and suddenly
met bis eyes. They held an expression
foreign to them, an expreslson that mads
Ruth suddenly conscious of the fact that
she waa here alone with him In the
apartment; a feeling that she had never
felt about jacK Perore.
She stood still, uncertain what to do,
and a little wavering smile broke over
her face. The next minute Jack had
cleared the distance between them and
had caught her in his arms. It waa tho
first time he had ever lost control of his
own emotlAns, the first time he had ever
been anything but dependable Jack, con
slderate and reasonable. Jack had al
ways that, a reasonable lover ; there had
hever been between them any of the
madness of two people Who are divinely
mated.
His breath came hoarsely and he spoke
dfajolntedly. His arms, about her, held
her relentlessly close; she felt smoth
ered, afraid.
"Darling, darling!" he muttered, forc
ing her head back against htm and look
ing down Into her eyes. "Don't thank
me; love me! I would do anything for
you to make you do that. I don't want
gratitude ; I want everything you have to
give everything, do you hear?"
JacV pleaSO let me go."
