Level Measurements
In all of Mrs. Wilson's recipes
level measurements are used. By
this Is meant to slice oft the little
mound of baking powder, flour,
cornstarch, etc., that piles up on
th spoon until the contents of tha
spoon are perfectly level. Mrs. Wil
son uses this method of measuring
because there la no other way to In
dicate the exact amount of flour,
etc., to be used. As an interesting
experiment, some time, measure
out two heaping or een rounded
tablespoonfuls of flour and two
level ones into separate cups and

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
THERD Is much,dlscusslon these days,
especially by those who have been to
Paris and seen the. new fashions, as to
livelihood of the American woman
adopting the fashions as worn just now
In Paris. There are three of these fash
ion points that are the cause of the dis
cussions. One Is the try short skirt,
another the sleeve that Is above the
elbow, and the extremely low neck-line
on the street dresses Is the other. My
opinion la that It wdn't be long before
we see all three adopted on this aide
of the water, possibly modified, of course.
The skirts that are raising the hub
bub are from eight to sixteen Inches
from the floor. Few could' or would
wish to wear the ones sixteen, but there
Is a happy medium in all things and
the American woman Is sure to And It.
Borne of the sleeves are so short that
they cover only the top of the arm. For
street wear, the sleee la anywhere from
the elbow tor naif-way .to the armpit.
The most unusual thing about these
short sleeves Is the style of glov. that
Is worn with them. It Is not the long
glove, as one would suppose, but a
glova that reaches about five Inches
above the wrist, the slip-on variety,
without buttons and flaring above the
wrist The arm Is, aa you see, left un
covered from the top of tho glove to the
edge of the sleeve. i
The lov neck, like the short sleeve,
we have had and worn before, so I see
no reason why they should not be worn
again. It Is onij because these styles
re radical changes from what has been
worn of late that they seem impossible,
but later It will be like tha colorless
dress, we will wonder how we aver wore
anything jklse.
The dress of today Is of orchid-
trimmed with tiny ruffles of net. The

something to carry to the off'ce, a book,
some papers, and dear knows what all.
A large bag, somewhat like the patent
leather overnight bags, once you carry
one, will become Indispensable. My
friend carries hers to the off ce l(i the

It out at noon, but leaves It there. "When
she has some of the little packages and
things that every woman can t seem to
get along without, powder puffs, and the
like, why, there a her bag! And when
she stays overnight with her Very best
friend, why, there's the bag again. Most

Where Arc the "Vamps"?
Dear 'Cynthia As a dally reader of
the Evening pudlic I.EoaEn I often
fiance at the woman's page so that
mav see both sides I. e.. the opin
ion of both sexes thus enabling me to
Judge fairly. Allow me to say that this
amplre talk makes me laugh. "There
ain't no such animal." If there Is it Is
a very rai-e one. I refuse to belle e
there are such people. I take as an ex
ample my own dear mother, and after
teeing the stuff she Is made Of I do not
soo how any one of her sex can be other
wise 'vamp" is simply the Imagination of
a i ouq heart. Of course, there are
some bad glrla era some bad boys also,
and the girls who complain (In your
piges), of the popularity of "vamps"
should not sorrow, as only "birds of a
feather flock together."
A little while age the readers of your
page expressed their opinion as to why
women grew older than men. I would
like to say this much about It. "Women
grow older oulcker because they try to
look younger, longer." Paint and pow
,der never made a girl look better.
In this one respect most girls are
"vamps," as they do so, not to take the
"shine" off, as the girls will say, but
because they wish to Improve their com
plexions. .
This Is, I think, the decent boys' opin
ions on the matter. When I see a girl
pass by with her nose ablaze with glory
and powder (mostly powt ; I turn my
face away. It Is Blmnly disgusting.
The glrla only jook at their side of the
question, and I am sure If they can be
convinced that powder and paint never
yet made a good Impression upon a
decent fellow, they will soon stop bom
barding their noses with slxteen-lnch
poder guns.

Worried Mother ,
Dear Cvnthla I am i mothe- i
sweet girl, twenty years of age. and
have always taught her from a babv up
never to allow a man tb'klss-oc caress
her until she is engaged to marry ; aiso
never to visit cafes or restaurants with
the boys when returning from n '
or the theatre unless accompanied by an
older person. As she Is the only ch'id
I have, naturally she confides eery
thlng to me. and I could take a solemn
oath she has always followed my advice.
But now she is beginning to waver and
It Is almost breaking mv heart.
In the first place she Is a member of
a club to which fifteen other boys and
girls belong, and I am almost sure they
all attend the different cafes from what
my daughter has said,
Eery" night, when she comes hrtme
she will tell me what has happened, how
the girls make themselves so forward
with the boys, allowing them to kls
and caress them at -any time and any
where What she cannot understand Is
this. It has always been said that the
boys respect and care for the girls who
will not allow them to do just as they
please: but no matter when or where
the boys always take home the girls
who are forward and also make the hle
pest'fuss over them, while the good lit
tle girls hae to take what is left. She
also tells me thaV she knows for a cer

THE many instances In which mar
ried men represented themselves
as single men during the confusion of
the war and paid court to girls ought
to teach Girls a good, sound lesson
They should knofv just who and what
a young man' Is before they encourage
Ills devotion no matter how attractive
It may bo.
To some drla a few honeyed words
or a stolen kiss Is about all that la
needed to vouch for a man's past,
present and his future. Tho slightest
suggestion on the part of any one else
in the household that It would be well
to And out a little moro about the
young man before he Is admitted to the
freedom of the family circle Is taken
as unwarranted and branded as rank
suspicion.
NOT long ago a mother wrote to tho
page Baying that her daughter was
about to marry and go to the other
end of tho continent with a young min
who was In the navy! The girl had
known tho young man for six months.
The mother did not care for the boy.
Still she would not have stood in the
path of her daughter's happiness but
for one thing. She knew nothing
about him. He Just reemed to have
dropped In from nowhere other than
to casually mention once in a whllo
relatives some 2000 miles away, in
tuitively tho mother felt something
was wrong and her mother's heart
shrank from letting her daughter
gamble hor life away. It was then tho
letter camo to the page and tho
mother was advised to write to certain
authorities and make Inaulrles. Within
a week she wrote a grateful little note
saying she had been Informed that tne
boy had a wife and child in another
city.
It would not do to suspect every
young man who rings the front door
bell of concealing encumbrances In an
other city, but in a matter as weighty
as matrimony there Is no reason for
a girl to rush Into thfiigs. A lifetime
of misery and heart-break may b
avoided by looking at things from four
sides 'and taking time.
THERE arev many vayH to ,flnd out
about the young man from the far
away city without putting a detective
on his trail. If a man loves a girl he
is going to tell her about his people
and he Is coin to tell his people about ;
her and tn letters his mother will make
mention of this new-found sweetheart
and perhaps want to write to her. I
know' of many lovely friendships that
have been formed In this way. Every
boy is not fortunate enough to have
a mother, but he usually has some one
whom he Is only too proud to tell about
his girl. These Instances stand In
sweet and safe contrast to the stranger
who looms In town and makes a dark
secret of all his affairs. -
QUICK decisions are all well and
good in the business world, but
wheie a girl's lifetime happiness Is at
stake the old-fashioned way of think
ing things over must always stay In
style.

START THIS STORY TODAY
RUTH drank only coffee In the'morn
lng. . Scott ate a regular breakfast,
Including' fruit, cereal, and on Sundays
becon and eggs and hot bread. Uuth
always Insisted on this, and she actually
enjoyed getting his meals.
. This morning, after she had turned
the gas flame down under the coffee, she
flew Into the dlnlnsroom and opened the
windows. Outside It was spring, ana
the air was soft and warm, She drew
tho table nearer one of the windows
and hustled out plates and silver, then
she went back and woke Scott.
He heard her singing as he dressed
and smiled a little.
"She's probablyforgotten all about her
feerlsh desire to work," he thought
to himself as he chose a tie and knotted
it, which was all wrong, because Iluth
was thinking of that and nothing else.
A man always feels that he understands
his own wife perfectly, and yet It re
mains for another woman who may not
be even a friend to understand hsr far
better.
Ruth had reached the stage In her
married life whero the first Intimacy had
been robbed somewhat of Its' romance.
So much was, taken for granted now.
For Instance, she loved Scott dearly, and
yet she knew just how he looked when
he needed a shave. She was apt to
notice If his Bhlrt were not quite fresh
and to tell him so. She had nursed him
when he was 111, and knew him for a
cros3, spoiled baby, not a dream knight.
All of this does not matter so vitally
to a woman, because her love for a
man Is different. The aerage woman
accepts the gradual awaKening ot mar
riage more philosophically than the
average mu, and if she Is cleer she
applies her own knowledge to the mind
of her husband and wonders how he
Is reacting under the same experience.
Nine times out-of ten a man's reactions
are entlre'y different.
For Instance, she realized that she was
no more mysterious to Scott now than
he was to her. He had Been her not
quite at her best with her hair frowsy
and her nose shiny. Ruth wished some
times so hard that it hurt, that she
m'ght always maintain that first charm
that she had had for Scott, and which
is possible only where there Is unlimited
money, and then life Is often unnatural.
She knew as well "now as she always
had that a woman ought to maintain
barriers In marriage In order to retain
a man's entire Interest, but no one but
a woman who has lived in a small apart
ment or In the heart of any family of
average means knows how hard It Is
should? The good little girls will not , bo a,,vqys mysterious. Mental reser.

Today's Garden Lesson
The gardener has a choice between
vegetables, but In the long run It will
pay him both for his own sake and for
the help he can be In fighting world
food shortage to stick pretty close to
staple crops.
The backbone garden crops are po
tatoes, lima beansi snap beans, sweet
corn, tomatoes, cabbage and onions.
These crops make a good fighting or
working ration, but don't neglect the
good "eats" like Peas, beets, carrots,
radishes, lettuce 'and others. Olve,
right of way to .the main crops, and'
plant the cecondary ones In between
them If land Is scarce.
By good planting you can grow early
spinach, lettuce, raaisnes, oeets, car
rots and turnips In rows between the
rows ot themaln group and get them
out of the way when the mancrops
need all of the room, And then' later
In the season, when the backbone crops
are maturing, you can plant another
crop, of the others for fall use.

all kinds upon one's partner In marriage.
That Is where a man and a woman differ.
A man doesn't like to ue DOtnered with
trivialities, and a woman likes minute
details the moro the better.
This new resolution of Ruth's was as
much an outcome of this striving for
effect with Scott b for anything else.
She hoped that way to build up again
on the old foundations a new Ruth,
Infinitely wiser and with far greater
depths. She wanted to be adored and
marveled at. . She wanted to convince
her husband that she was living WITH
him because she wanted to, not because
she had to let him take care of her.
Therefore, It was with shining eyes
and flaming cheeks that she seized upon
a square envelope that had come in the
mall, an envelope that bore the address
of the employment bureau where shs
had registered. Her fingers trembled
as she tore It open. Could It be an
answer "to her dreams so soon, and with
so little efforOon her part?
Tho note was short and to the point.
''My dear Mrs. Raymond If you will
call at the office sometime tomorrow
Miss Jeffries will be glad to talk over
a prospective position with you.
"Sincerely yours,
"Maud Chambers."
Ruth wondered why Elsie Jeffries
hadn't'TVrltten herself. In college Elsie
had been a girl- Ruth had jUBt Bpoken
to and that was all. She had been
quiet and ntudlotis, never In for any
fun. and rather unattractive, physically.
Ruth rather resented this high-handed
manner of dealing with her, but then,
of course, there might have been some
good reason for It. She wouldn't, begin
to be supersensitive and easily hurt. In
stead, her face was wreathed In smiles
when Scott came out to breakfast and
the large, white envelope was placed
rather conspicuously near her plate aa
though It had been carelessly opened
and flung there.
He did not notice It Immediately,' and
she almost called his attention to It.
In fa?t, she just saved herself by re
membering that In future she was not
going to foo'lshly chatter. She was go
ing to think before speaking. She did
not want to be only a wife to Scott.
She wanted to be a hundred women In
one. She wanted to be as close to him
one moment as she was when she loved
him most dearly, and then to puzzle
h'm the next with her vague mysterious,
ness
Ruth did not know that she was not
the first woman with just those same
Ideas and yearnings, nor did she know
how fortunate she was In being married
to a man of Scott's caliber, a man with
more of the finer elements than there
arc In the average man.

What I Learned
at the Canteen
Down sit the canteen, whire I worked
during the war. I learned how to make
a lot of vegetables Into tempting dishes
Inexpensive vegetables, too. One of
them Is eggplant. Jim never used to eat
eggplant, but when I cook It for him
now In this new way well, I wish you'd
see him eat It I
I cut up my eggpiant IrHo squares and
boll until It's Under. Then J put It Into
a baking dish and season It with pepper
and salt. I cover the eggplant with a
layer of tomato sauce and chopped
hard-boiled egg. I bake all this tor
about twenty minutes, but, .of course, It
Isn't complete without the delicious
flavor that Jim thinks the moBt lmpor
tart part of any dish Al Sauce. It
makes a wonderful entree, and some
times I serve It aa the chief dish Of the
meal, ji woum d ncou, anyway, nut
