A. tVIUon. ill Hoh rrrvrdJ QUITE frequently there como to mo queries from those who want to know how to prepare something just for two. Most recipes arc too largo for the little housewife, and when sho has finished making omcthlng- from a certain recipe she finds that she has enough to last her aevcral days. This wise little woman will know that roasts are not for her, but she may have steaks, chops, pot roasts, goulashes, stews, meat pies, etc. When cooking chicken she may use tho wings, thigh ar.d legs for fricas see and chicken a !a Maryland, sr.d the breast for chicken a la king and chicken salad or have the breast grilled. She also knows that when baking It is necessary to use smaller pans or else to divide tho mixture, thus making a variety.

I wish you had gone Into moro of the detnlls of tho quarrel. Was It his fault or your? if It was vours It might be possjhle that the young man still cares for you but Is too stubborn to give In on the matter. If It was his fault then I should say I do not think the young man shows signs of caring very deeply. In either case I should now write him a letter myself, telling him you feel he owes an ex planation to your mother for not re plying In some fashion to her letter. Keep yourself entirely out of the let ter. Simply say you do not like to see your tnnth-r traud In th'i fashion.

Would they rather go see a girl with lI. faded skin, shiny nose i and dull, listless eyes or a girl with flushed pink cheeks, cherry red lips nnd' spark ling ees caused by shapely eye-brows and dainty white nose?

Doesn't Like to "Write Letters Dear Cynthia I have hesitated a long time before writing to you, but your advice to othera eeemed so good that It encouraged me. I havo a friend who formerly lived In this city, but who Is no longer here. For a year and a half before he left here he Bhowed me a good deal of attention, calling at least once nnd sometimes twice a week. Since he has been nway he has writ ten Infrequently and his letters come at Increasingly long Intervals. I know he Is very busy and that he does not his own neonle more than he does to me. but don't you think that he would write to me If he really cared for me. as he nppears to do when with me? He has come to the city several times and spent most of his time with me while here and seemed to be as fond of me as he used to be. Now, Cynthia, will you tell me If I can get him to write to me at reason able Intervals (he hates writing letters) or what shall I do?. Has he tired of me or la he Indifferent? MAIIV. I wouldn't let this matter of letters worry me. With some, of course. It Is an Indication of Indifference, but with the man you describe It seema to be a mixture of being very busy and nat urally hating to write letters. It la queer but true that men frequently hato letter-writing to such an extent that they will not pen letter to the girls they care most for. From your statements I believe this man cares for you. Do not try to force him to write frequently and do not answer hla let ters too soon after tou receive) them. Just by th way of no harm give him a MM M asrs 41ota Frosting Three Good bring to a boll.

Mrs. Batrhelor is one of the WOMEN DON'T WANT TO TAKE MEN'S PLACES; AIM FOR OWN Hazel Dvyo Batchelor, Author of "Married Lije" Serials, Asks That Feminine Rights Be Based on Definite Qualities Which Set Her Sex Aside. WOMEN' do not want to tike men's plncew In the world. They want to create their own. This was the trenchant summing up of the woman movement given tcday In the course of an Interview by Mrs. Hazel Peyo Batchelor, n well-known woman writer and one of the editors of a woman's magazine. This brief plat form came to answer the now prevalent nccusntlon that thousands of women let "out of the coop" during the war refuse to make way for men nnd get back Into It now that the war Is over. "Women are not and never have been men's equal," Mrs. Batchelor maintain- FOULARD COMBINED WITH GEORGETTE A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose LAST year the printed foulards and other printed silks made their ap pearance among tho smartly dressed women, and had the season been more favorable thev would very likely have struck a very popular chord. But It was, ns you will well remember, a very dark, drab season and even tho dark silks with the prints of whlta were looked upon by most of the women as far too gay, Aa It was the few that were worn served as an Introduction for thU season, Women as a whole ore ery fond of tho printed silks and there Is every rea- son why they should be, for of all the ' 111. aW. fmiln ril tnalfutl II tl a.nn iti silks the foulard makes up about tbe best kind of nll-arauna dress. Foulard can not be classed, ns a dressy material, nor can frocks made of this silk be anything but semldress affairs. But It Is the semldress-up frocks from which we get the most satisfaction, to say noth ing of the most wear. r Tho foulard dress shown to you today depicts the use. of georgette combined with the foulard. In this instance the georgette matches the shade of the back ground of the silk. The foundation skirt which Is of the foulard Is draped. The georgette la used as an apron and Is barred with Jet beads, the ends of this apron for a aash which ties at the cen ter back. The bodice Is of the aeoraette. with a band or ine (ouiara encircling the lower part of the waist, beneath the georgette. Jet beads also trim the bodice and the sleeve. The Urge hat Is of dark blue straw. with a soft crown, banded with dark blue ribbon. The right aide of the hat la decorated with a feather, shaped to conform with the lines of the hat (CftWrrlgBt.

"In some ways they nre far su perior, much liner. In others not sc fine. But they do have their own place In the world, and there are things that they can do fur better than men. The urging of right nnd privilege should not be based on equality nlone. but on the qualities women possess that set them quite npnrt from the other sex. Women don't want to take men's places In the world; they want to create their own." Mrs. Batchelor. who came from her home In New York to Philadelphia to day on a brief visit, was herself n vivid, and charming refutation to nil the fears of the nnxlous man who Is ntruld things are neVtr going tc bo quite the same for him since I'ncle Sam Invited his fair Bisters to try their slim but capable hands at his some thousand varied Jobs. Feminine nnd all real woman she look, ed from the tip of her smart close-fitting hat to her trim shoes, which wero not what one might call ground grip pe rs. And yet Mrs. Batchelor Is a believer In careers for wemen nnd progress. "The women workers to whom the wnr has been somewhat of a revelation will never go back to the old wnys of living," sho claims. "Where they do It will mean sacrifice. And right here I want to say that there will be n strug. g!e from now on between the sexes that can mean nc thins but progress." Behind the scenes In the lite of any writer of note Is supposed to be par ticularly Interesting. But Hazel Deyo Batchelor' has a special, well-defined claim to this populnr nttentlon. Mrs. Batchelor was one of the pioneer writers of the dally and Intimate serials of mar ried life that hiive during the last five years or so taken newspaper'readera by storm. For readers of the Eve.nino runtio I.KixiEn Mrs. Batchelor has especially Intimate Interest, for she Is tho author of the "And So They Were Married" serial now appearing dally on Its woman's page, and also of the "Maid and Two Men" serial which preceded It. In that first story readers followed her famous character Scott to the trenches and then saw him returned to Ruth, the girl who almost married the wrong man and whom It took a world War to lure from a match which spelled luxury to one which meant enly love and a workaday life In a little New York apartment Now readers ore watching tho married life of these two young per sons, fraught, as such life sometimes Is, with shoals. Mrs Batchelor has distinct and clear cut Ideas on trying to mannge careers and fnmtlles at the same time, "I don't think a woman can rear a family and have a career at the same time, as a general rule," she contends. "Pec pie have quoted Ethel Barrymore to me many times when I have said this, but, somehow, she seema to serve as an example In every way, which somehow falls to convince me there are many women like her, I think raising babies la a distinct career, and I do believe that when women begin to think so there will be less chafing and rest lessness." In spite of the fact, however, that Mrs. Batchelor spcakR of the progress of women, she does not take the stand of so many progressives. She Is not a woman booster Just because she Is a woman. r '"I am afraid I never could picket, nor could I address a mcb from an nuto mobile." Hut I know I can vote, and that's what matters, after all," this au. thor holds. "Seriously, I believe that women still have to Justify themselves as far as voting Is concerned. I am afraid I simply can't say that women have simply been given what they de served not yet. But I do believe that when they have emerged finally from tho transition period they will be able to vote intelligently as a class, I mean." -Mrs. Batchelor, although a younr woman, has had wide and varied .ex perience as a Journalist She Is a araduate of Smith College, where she was winner of the Ivy day aong con test In January, lsis, she made a trip through the Panama Canal to San Fran cisco and then across the continent for a New Yprk dally. Mrs. Batchelor believes writing ranks first aa a career for women, because It leaves them time for other Interests. Cuticura Soap Best for Baby eg aaB4 ln by "Ootumta; Seft.

Consult a physician before taking medicine-of nny kind. The only possible way for a smalt person to make herself taller Is by using stretching exercises 'and by holding herself very straight. Even then the additional height will be hardly noticeable. Wearing the hair high on top of the head and wearing narrow, high-crowned hats will make a short person look taller and also long walsted dresses made with long, slender lines.

Who could be com ing here nt this time of night? And then she realized that she thought It strange only because she happened to be alone. If Scott had been there, It would not have occurred to her that the hap pening was at all out of the ordinary. Then she went out Into ,the tiny hall, snapprd on the electric light and opened the door. Nick Carson stood on the threshold. A sudden feeling of not knowing how to cope with the- situation swept over her, but she forced herself to be un naturally gay, hoping that ho would not notice. He brought a breath of fresh air from the cold out of doors with him, and a moment ago she had been lonely and had wondered what to do with the evening. If, away In the back of her heart there was the knowledgo thnt sho wns not do. Ing right, she stifled It by remembering that sho must be modern. If In her heart of hearts nnd her own dlscrlmlna tlon between right nnd wrong she did not wnnt to entertain Nick Carson here tonight nlone, she forced herself lo think otherwise by recalling that It was Scott who had begun this kind of thing. And certainly there was nothing wrong with Nick Carson. He was tho Ideal friend. No girl could fall to be glad and proud to be seen with him. and he did not bother her to death with silly per sonal compliments. She led the way Into the living room and he followed her. She wished that It were a more fitting place to receive friends. It suffered by comparison with rally's, and It was hopelessly Dourgeoi. All this was quite unworthy of Iluth, but she was struggling hard to be some one outside of herself, and tho simple real things of life did not mean much to this other Iluth. Then suddenly she remembered thnt she had told Scott she couldn't go to the theatre because she had made an engagement for the 'evening. Suppose Scott were to think that she haa deliberately made an engagement with Nick Cnrson. She couldn't let him think that. But then, of course, how would he know If she didn't tell him? Ho was off somewhere having a good time himself. Nick had seated himself In the one big comfortable chair the room afforded, and Ituth hnd curled herself Into a corner of the davenport He watched the light from nn orange silk shade glint through her hair for a few minutes, con sclous that her thoughts were far away, then he said lazily: "Tou're not listening to a word I'm saying."

He'll bo learning things In school that his poor little mother won't know anything about If I'm not careful. It's the same way with his father.' Hero ho goes down to an off.co and asso ciates day alter day with business girls who aro very well informed. So you think I could expect him to havo a great deal of respect for my mind If I didn't know a thing or two my self? No, Indeed; tnklng tlmo each day to rend nnd keep up with my one) club arc ns lmportnnt to mo ns any part of housekeeping nnd lots moro Important thnn some of it." In tho meantlmo tho little woman flvo doors nway Is content to go "along her narrow little way. Foolish littlo woman picking out the path that leads to old ago first. For a woman, mind you, cannot bo younger than her spirit "Shall I tell you what you were think. Ir.g?" "You can't" "Oh. yes I can. Tou were wishing I'd go." Ruth flushed deeply. "Oh, but I wasn't. Tou're wrong this time." . "What were you thinking then?" "I was wishing we could go some where." The thought hnd suddenly oc curred to Iluth. It would solve all tho difficulties and still save her pride. "All right, where shnll we go?" Suddenly tho bell rang ngaln, and Ruth's startled face showed her true feeling. Who could thnt be? Could It be her mother, nnd If It were, what could be said to excuse the situation? Mrs. Rowland would never understand. "Aro ou expecting nny one?" Nick's question was casual. He snw that Ruth was terrified, hut decided thnt there was nothing he could do to help her out "No, I don't know who could bo com ing here." she returned. And then knowing that there was but the one thing to do unless she meant to ndmlt to him that sho would not for the world have had any one find them here atone to gether, she went to tho door. Isabel and Rill Carter stood outside. "Well." said Isabel lightly. "How are jou? We've been to dinner In this neighborhood and thought we'd run tn on ou." "Scott In?" asked Hill. Ruth shook her head. "Oh. aro you all alone?" asked Isabel, following Ruth Into the living room. Then she stopped and stared. "Well, Nick Carson, upon my word. What on earth are you doing here? Dill, look who's having a tete-a-tete with Ruth, nnd I never know they were more than speaking acquaintances," Isabel was rattling on gnyly, but Ruth could see thnt mil wns surprised.

It was as though Isabel admitted her to her own understanding of things, recognized In her something of the same quality that she herself noswssed nnd marveled at 't even while she knew It was true. Ruth didn't want to be classed n"h, Isabel. Quite sua denly sho wished she had never met Nick Carson. She wanted nil the dear safe things that she had known and believed In with Scott. Somehow she felt 'that It wasn't going to be much fun playing this other game, only that she would have to go on with It now that she had come so far.
