There is nn old legend told in the
illsston Valley in Mexico of n famous
r monarch. Montezuma, who served
chocolate from a wonderful bowl of
hammered gold with a mngnitircntly
.carved golden spoon to his uucsts of
jttate on high dujs nml holidays.
The cacao tree, when in bloom, is a
' Wonderful thing to sec ; the entire tree is
covered with small pink flowers that
have a plensant odor. The lone tnper-
- Ins dark preen leaves set oft the tree to
j&, nilrnntnfi. M'lii lmrlt of the tree is ver
S3" Mnnnlli nml nf n cravish color. Tile
fruit of the cacao tree, when it is full
firowu, attains the width of two and a
half to three inches and about six and a
half to seven inches lonR, and it ically
looks very much like a badly shaped
jjcherkin. The pod, while RrowUiR, is a
beautiful shade of green, which Rrndu
nlly changes, ns it ripens, to n jellmv
and then, 'when fully ripe, to a bril
liant red. Kaeh pod contains from lift.
to 100 almond-shaped seeds, which are
of a pinkish color, when first exposed
fo the air, and nf a dark brown, choco
late color when fully dried.
Each seed is covered with a thin
brittle coverinR As soon as the seeds
arc, gathered they are placed in piles to
ferment or sweat. This softens the
&y outer cohering, which is then removed.
rj4 "ere wc find the seeds inclosed in a
Dllttery ptup. -inis puip '' -moved
mid the seeds are dried, roasted
and then they arc ready to be ground
into chocolate.
The nvcraRe cacao tree grows to the
height of twenty to thiity feet. The
tree begins to bear fruit when about
fni'r years old nnd continues to hne
fnilt ripening all the jeur round. Vsu
ally1 there nre two main crops gathered,
one later in Juno and tie other early
In January. The January crop is the
most Important.
Many delicious beverages and dishes
are prepared with both chocolate and
Cocoa. Chocolate is rich in oil, cocoa
'.butter, starch find gluten and it has a
wonderful sustaining power. hen it is
1 " properly prepared it makes a delicious
and nourishing beverage. Both the
army and navy quickly realized the
wonderful food value of chocolate anil
it was used in their emergency rations.
These rations were so made up as to
give the greatest food nlue in the
smallest amount of space, hence the
importance of chocolate in this ration.
The cocoa beans contain an average
of 47 per cent pure oil (cocoa butter),
IS per cent protein, 10 per cent starch
nnd !l per cent other carbohjd rates.
The T'nited States is the laigest ihoc-
olate, nnd cocoa consuming cmintrj in
. i the world. Commercial cocoa is sold in
powdered form with a portion o the
fat removed. In this way it ' rendeicd
lnore easily digestible, and it is fre
ipiently preferred because of this. Choc
olate is prepnied bean in the solid or
cake form. I
The white streaked appeal ance of

leadily melts at a temperature of !H!

THE EMPLOYER'S SIDE OF THE
EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR SERVANTS
To the Eitltor of Woman's raoe:
Pear Madam There nremsually two
sides to an nigument, but the reform
ers who nre ngitating the senant-girl
problem do not seem to 1ineconsidcred
the health, comfort or convenience of,
the emplojers who pay for their work.
Could any of them kindly give in
stances or instructions as to how the
eight -hour day could be nrranged
where there is a tiied, wornout, 'benn
iuvalid mother with n house and four or
fie or more jouug children to be taken
care of, and where one i , barely ablo to
afford the one maid at the present price
of wage? 1 Know of many such cases
and wonder if theie has ever been given
any forethought ns to how the pio
posed change would work out.
Possibl these reformeis have not
been accustomed to eniplo maids
themselves, consequently nre only vi
sionary about the whole matter. An
ther thing: The many servant girls we
have talked with do not take kindly to
the change. As one said to me in a most
pathetic way, "It is like beiug turned
out of a home." 1 wonder if any one
knows if shop girls and those who work
in factories have savings uauK ac
counts. I am an old housekeeper of
more than thirty-five years' experience
and hnve had several girls who left us
to go back to their homes In the "old
country." who have bad from four to
seven hundred dollurs to take home
itii thorn. I doubt if any one of them
had $." when they cnnie to live with us.
I always made n practice of insisting
1 ... ... ..1 1. 1 fpnlit til, ill n I.A9
tney save -sooii-iiiii'fe " .. "
if they were not voluntarily inclined to
do so, nlthough most generally they
were of their own accord.
I fully believe this s stein of relajs,
where there Is more than one servant
employed, would do more to demoialize
a household ami break up homes than
anything I can think of!

Please Tell Me
What to Do
By CYNTHIA
Real Love Is Scarce
Dear Cjnthla I dasli up once more
to this queer, interesting, fascinating,
verbal battlefield of "1'lcasc Tell Me
What to Do" in order to convince Miss
"Helen II." that she does me wrong
and, with an overwhelming barrage of
pen thrusts, defend the houor of the
ancient: "nonsensical dreaming" nnd
"sickening" love, ns she terms it. Now,
I hnte the medieval. I hate the old or
der that forces its shrunken garments
on the plump limbs of modern times. I
claim to be n wee bit radical. I think
the old order of court-martial did grave
injustice to many of our brave lads and
welcome the airing that is being given it
to freshen and bring it up to modern
times. Away with that "what was
good enough for my father is good
enough for me" sjstcnv! It, is detest
ahle. Hut for love . that is ab
initio.
?.ovc of woman makes or unmakes a
man. Since thetc is so little real love
existent, why wonder nt the strange
absence of manly qualities?
If there is real love, Miss Helen, why
do so many couples become divorced
after n few short (or long?) jears of
married life? Can jou tell me why?
Is mnrringe only a temporary union of
two persons, eneh anxious to find out
all about the how nnd when of each
other, then, when no more newness is
to be found, each strive to hunt new
outside elements to explore?
Admit such is the case in very, very
many people. And the source? At the
expense of being called a deadhead and
sob sister and joy killer, I Iny all blame
to this senseless frivolity that pervades ;
this absolute refusal to take anything
serious and taking n Iioly thing, love,
nnd hashing it up until unrecognizable.
Iove, and not tlic jazzy or corn
beef and cabbage" sort, is tlie'only
thing there is to live for. Eliminate it
nhl nil ta vntil - nn nn mnnv rnnnp nml .
oles arc finding out to their distress.!
Another thing you are
intensely
practical, "Helen II." a vice, I rtill it
ion have no time for "swell -headed
dreamers. Then why attend the
"movies"? Thnt is nlj impractical
"slush" and sentiment. Do jou rend
novels? (let nil tiling practical out of
them? No, but it fills one witli a nice
feeling that no one can describe a
hopeful feeling. So dream a bit, more,
become romantic even to "sweet six
teen" stnge.
While I really cannot, iu justifica
tion, apologize (for what wrong did I
do?), I do, however, salute jou for
jour tart reply. Vive d'nmour! (That
correct French, Cynthia? I know you
ore nn nuthefrity.)
I'm dropping the "mnjor" now that
I'm back in "civvies." Hesides, it makes
one think of nn old grouch with n wal
rus mustache and Mephistophelean J
lit aril! '
What do the bovs from "over there"
think of this not the beard. I mean
this whole matter? C VON L.
The Keeping Up Hope Club
Dear Cynthia As the days go by I
become moie nnd more interested in the
Keeping-Up Hope Club started by Lieu
tenant H. It seems to me that Lieu
tenant 11. has given us some idea of
the kind of girl fellows like, but do all
men like real women? That is n ques
tion which no one man can answer foi
a majority. Sometimes I think thnt
men don't know what they want. They
may wiite on paper that they like
women, but in actions men usually fall
for a clinging vine one who is not
able to take care of herself and looks
up nt the man with pleading eyes.
I am a young girl myself, who is not
a goody-goody, but I nm not n high
timer. I do not use rouge nnd I do not
wear puffs. However. I nm rather a
lively girl, like to go to a dance once
in a' while and usually take in all good
shows. I have a friend who Is a cling-in"-vine
type, nnd yet all the fellows
w ill stick to her. I don't know why, ns
it seems to me that I nm equal to her
in every respect.
Won't some more men please join this
club? Just write anything that comes
into your heads that Is true about
women. I lon't think j-ou men know
how much a woman likes to hear what
a man has to say about her, and yet
men will always be scrctive. He out
with it. Do not stand back and be
nfiaid to give your opinions.

FOR GIRLS' FICKLENESS
Scores Them on Their Insincerity and Claims Young WomcnTt
Might as Well Outdo Them at Their Own Game
IX AN unusual letter to the woman's
page "A Twenty-Ycar-Old Olrl of
Today" rises to defend her sex against
the constant charge of. fickleness, light
ness, insincerity and all of the many
nccusations brought up against girls in
general.
This oung woman lays the lurdcn
of the blame on the boys themselves,
characterizing the average one ns fickle,
insincere and undcp'end'ablc before mar

"I've rend," she says, "about the
fickle girl, tlic girl who isn't satisfied
to stay ,at home after marriage nnd be
the ideal wife nnd mother, the camou
flage used by girls nnd your parlous
other nrticles.
"Hut is the boy of today more gen
uine than the girl? It's the fellow who
generally finds out first thnt ho cares
for the girl, nnd after he's finally taught
her to rare for him his interest ceases.

what is a girl to do?
"We're 'wild In their opinion, nnd
consequently wc think as long, as 'wc
hnve the name we might as well P'oy
the game' and enjoy ourselves, too. If
we can t nave partnership wc want
nothing; if we can't he the other half
wc prefer to be nothing."
YOU arc right, dear. The boy of to
day is more fickle than the girl. He
is more iusinccre than the girl, but you
can't beat hinl nt his own game by
cheapening yourself. You said some
wonderful things, nbout women further
down in your letter true things.
"The girl of today," you wrote, "can
be a wife, mother, partner, companion
nnd is able to keep pace with her man
in every way. She can also earn the
money, if necessnry. but that isn't what
we want. That's the man's part. Hut
what I mean is, there isn't n thing she
can't do. Everything is possible for
her." ,
There, dear friend, lies woman's hone
for bringing partnership and fair play
into her marriage, into her engagement
or into mere budding friendship with n
man. It is time for a girl to be up
nnd doing when a young man expects
her to stav at home sewing on the hone
chest, while he spends night after night
out with the boys or the "cabaret" girl.
But there are two roads to choose. One
is the "Oh. what's the use" way nnd
to run nround, nnd flirt nnd not enre
what people 'think about you. The
other is to live up to the things j-ou
yourself say nbout women, llemember
you say women con do everything.
Thev can.
Well. then, let the girl of the hope
chest chuck it out tlie wihdovv nnd go
forth nnd show her j'oung man this, that
this is not the day when a young woman
has to stand nnd moou, with beatiug
heart, near the parlor window, won
dering whether he will or lie will not
come. She enn go out nnd earn more
money than he can. She can soar nn.
up in the world, meeting people he could
not have met. traveling places lie could
not'have afforded to take her. She can
marry a man n thousand times more
a man than he is. Yes, Ihere nre hun
dreds nnd hundreds of splendid men in
the world waiting and looking for tlie
partner sort of sweetheart and wife.
You won't always find them in dance
halls or standing on tlie corner watch
ing the Riris go uy. nut go out on uic
big broad highwnv. where young men
nnd women nre thinking of something
besides ceaseless excitement nnd pleas
ure. You nre npt to find them there.
THAT is the true wav to "show " the
voiine mnn who teat lies a girl to care
and then ceases to care himself. Go
out and accomplish something, how
ever small it may seem. Mingle with
people who accomplish things. Show
the voung mnn thnt though jou mny
not count with his empty-headed jolli
fication crowd, you count nee high with
fmen and' women who can do something
