How to Make Cracker jack
and Popcorn Marguerites

TVTANY a cold wintry nifrht may
" be turned into an eveninp's real
enjoyment with a supply of popcorn
and a corn-popper. Keep it in a
convenient place nnd bring it forth
on a snowy night, when the young
folks arc bemoaning the fact that,
they will miss seeing their favorite
movie star.
Popcorn can be made into inex
pensive confections nnd, if not over
indulged in, is nutritious and wholc-
enmn T,-., BA.n 1a !n. tin- I
sweetened popcorn with milk nnd
sugar in place of a cereal for break
fast nnd for the children's luncheon
and supper dessert.
Now the most important thing of
all is to have tno corn nnnnnl rirM.
Few, if any, housewives know that '
the real secret in having delicious
popped corn is to pop it very slowly.
To help retarding the com from
iuiv.it jjupyniy, puur com water over
the grains after removing them
from the ear; then heat it very slowly
over a medium hot clear lire, shaking
the popper continuously. It will Re
quire about four and one-half min
utes to pop a shaker of corn. If
you apply the heat gradually each
grain will pop about the same time.
Wetting the corn before popping
softens the hulls and creates a steam
tfcnt hnln. fhn ,; n-.
ciently softened and heated, so that
when it does pop, each kernel bursts
open from thc center. In this way
no hard particles will be left in the
center, ns is frequently thc case
wth.corn popped in the ordinary
manner.
To save the hands the corn mav
be removed from tho cob with a dull Buttered Popcorn
knife or the back of a heavy iron Melt three tablcspoonfuls of but
spoon. Do not overload the popper, ter in a deep saucepan and add two
Put in just sufficient corn to cover P'nts of freshly popped corn. Toss
the bottom nicely, then dip tho pop- m pan near gentle heat until the
per in a pan of cold water for one coin becomes thoroughly coated with
minute and shake dry and proceed
to pop. This corn will bo light nnd i
eliciously white 113 the driven snow,
n almost unlimited variety of can-
'dies can bo made from popcorn.

Bring to a boil and cook for ton
'a minutes und then add the citron.
f Bring to 11 boil, cook slowly for ton
j minutes and then set aside for twen-'

a woman who has two dear little chil

somo cause to ask for a divorce. Can
you not possibly be reconciled for your

marry, and If their religion does not for
bid remarriage many do. IJut thero are
so many thliiKs to consider. You would
do well to consult some one" who knows
you nnd your husband and who would
be fair In his or her Judgments. What
do your parents say?

Acknowledge Your Love
Dear Cynthla-SeelnB you have given
others such good advice. I nm sure you
can help me. I am e.ghteen years old
and have known a young ptTitleman for
bout six months whom I dearly love.
Vow. Cynthia, before he left for France
he wanted mo to marry him. I told htm
I thought I was too young nnd If he
wanted me to wait until he came back
and see how I felt, which he did. He
came back about a month ago, and I
answered him the 'same way. 1 have a
Invetv home and people and don t reel
as though I would like to leave at pres
et, although this man can give me a
home of my own and nlso a servant.
Ab?ut a week ngo when he left me he
Void me he would call me up ns he ex
pected to go away nnd couldn't "''"
ong. ns he was on business. He l"
now and has not called me yet. Would
It bo improper for me to write him and
nsk hlmvvhv or call him up? I have
never had to do nn thing like this be-

I'm pntty. Ho often gets sore nt me
"shall I write him or try to forget
him and wnlt until he comes oack to m,
because I think I have done nothing nnd
always acted like a lady. Which would
you do? . C.

Mother Is rocking thy lowly bed
All night long, all night long;
Happy to smooth thy curly head,
To hold thy hand and to sing her
song;

Nor tho song of thy father, stanch

And the burthen It beareth la not

But It's "Love, love! nothing but

Mother's love for dcarlo!"

BILL OF THE U. S. N. ABROAD
MIXES UP HIS TWO LETTERS
And Madeline, Who Got thc One Meant for John, Finds Out Exactly
What He Thinks of the French Girls Information for
Our Yankee Sisters
Wl,
E SHALL call him 13111 Schultz,
the United States Navy In for
elgn service, and leave It to your JudR.
ment as to whether or not thnt Is
his name. Anyway, you havo frequent
ly heard of writing two letters, ad
dressing two envelopes nnd then put
ting tho wrong ono In the wrong en
velop? Well, 11111 Is the sort of boy
who doesn't hear nbout these things.
He Just goes ahead nnd does them.
And so somewhere In America there
Is a hoy shall wo call him John7
who Is reading a letter that should
havo gone to a girl named Madeline.
And somowhero In this great big city
Is Madeline digesting some very Impor
tant truths that were meant for thc
home consumption of John.
One of them she toys with frequent
ly. In fact, it Is such an Interesting
llttlo fact for any girl to toy with thnt
she consented to have it printed where
all her sisters might look upon It and
gloat over It on certain and all occa
sions. Hero It Is:
"You remember, S said thnt ho
was going to go over and get married
to some llttlo French girl. Well, I
wish I could havo his opinion on "that
subject now. The ones I saw wcro so
homely we used to walk backward to
keep from seeing their faces."
NOW Dill didn't mean to ho unkind
because In the very next breath
ho said: "Just the same, the people
there treated us llko whlto men." And
thereby hangs a talo upon which the
American girl might do well to medi
tate. For the good of the public or for
the benefit of a single girl, Tom, Dick
or Harry of the United States army
or navy might write about how tho
French girl won his heart, but when
It comes to a heart-to-heart, Bill-to-

John, why there's the way to know tha
truth.
Propinquity was ever a great match
maker, and tho French girls were
surely good nnd kind to our boys, nnd
In spite of what Hill says there are
plenty of them very pleasing to look;
upon; but now thnt tho war is over
there's Just one llttlo tune running;
through tho mind of the Yank. He
wants his girl back home.
EVEN If Dill hadn't been so out
spoken In his lottcr to John there
iwere plenty of other ways to know
how he felt nbout things. This u tha
way he started out: "Iterelved your
letter some time ago, but ns there Is
absolutely nothing to vvrlto about I
have been letting Jt rock." And then
this Is tho finish: "Well, old top, It Is
getting rather dark and anyhow them
Is nothing to write about, so I will
cut this little sheet of nothing short.
Your old teammate, Bill."
In tho meantime, tho young lady
who learned all these lmportnnt things
Is wondering Just what John Is fltldlng;
out in tho letter that was meant for
her.
