I All hiplu Ifcsmid
rpilE month of November brings to
A the markets curly c-carolle, ro
maine, California and Boston let
tuce, for anety. Occasionally the
t thrifty housewife will feel that ow
ing to the increased cost of the price
of salads, during the fall and win
ter month", she can afford to ehm
note mem entirely or use tnem occa-
sionnlly.
Suiely this i a gieat mistake, foi
timing the fall and winter months
the bodj needs the Mtal life-gmng
elements of these succulent vege-
tables, and it is far wiser to cut
down on the allowance of meat used
at the evening meal and servo at-
tractive salads to balance tho menu,
Do not waste a single bit of this
green food. Carefully pick off with
the fingers all decajed or discolored
parts and then wash the salad in
plenty of water Add one teaspoon
of salt to the last rinsing water; i
this will remove all those tiny and
:lmost invisible mites, and slugs that
frequently cling to the back of tho
talad plants.
Watercress ma also be added to
the salad list and this piquant and
peppery grass is ery rich in iron; i
it belongs to the mustard familj.
Manv combirationj may be made I
to provide variet. Left-over ege-l

! Answers Queries
No. 33
My dear Mis. Wilson-
Will you kindly tell me if there
is anything 1 can do to keep my
cakes from fulling as soon as I
take them out of the oven? I
always make sure that there is no
draft. I will appreciate whatever
information you can give.
(Mrs.) J. M. C.
There are three reasons for your
cakes falling First, the cake is not
sufficiently baked; second, too much
sugar; third, batter too thin.
No. 34
My dear Mrs. Wilson:
Will preserved peaches spoil if
the top peach in the jar is mil
dewed? I opened one jar and by
taking the top peach off, I found
tho fruit delicious. Do you think
it will keep all right? Also, what
causes mildew on preserves?
Thanking you, I remain,
(Mrs.) F. S.
Your jars are not airtight. It is
hard to tell just how far the air will
enter such jars.
No. 35
My dear Mrs. Wilson:
I have a recipe which calls for
the use of curacao and orange
peel. Could you tell me whether
there is any difference between
the ordinary orange and the cura
as orange? Thanking you in ad
vance for your kind reply,
through your valued columns,
(Mrs.) J. VanN.
Use dried orange peel in the place
of curacao.

"Plain Qlrl" Wrtlea Maury 2,
Dear Cyntiiln I would like to an
swer .unurv i6, s letter,
Maury Z. Since jou request some
plain ' and nngclle girl to answer your
letter I tnke the liberty of writing.
I am very plain but by no means
angelic and I have the Ilrst time to
use either powder or rouge. I nm
rather Blout nnd enjoy outdoor uports
and have a'perfectly clear complexion
not tho lenst bit oily.
In the first place I thoroughly dis
approve of rouge, ns it contains poison
ous matter nnd gets into the pores of
the skin, causing facial eruptions and
poisoning your blood.
Not long ago I read an article where
the doctors were trying to solve n dis
(ase of the eye nnd their consultations
found out that the particular (11m which
formed over the eye was caused by the
fi cement use of a pbwdcr puff, ns the
n.ving particles of powder bettled la the
moist part of the eye, v which in time
cuuscd blindness.
Aside from nil this what is more
beautiful than "natural beauty." the
beauty that Ood gave, even though jour
features may not be like Venus?
Yes, the airplane does improve travel,
but it cannot bo compared with cos
metics, ns cosmetics do not improve
but only tend to point out your imper
fections. While it is true that every
boy likes his girl to look her best,
do jou "reul" bojs like them to shnin
an appearance?
For instance, before mv parents
married, mj mother used a wee bit
of powder and the night before their
wedding mj father made' one request
onb und that was, "Please do not use
nnj powder tomorrow." She complied
with his icquest und now doesn't use
or need any. A PLAIN CUHI,.
We're With You, "Adam"
Dcir Cynthia We read vour inter
esting column every day and we wish
to baj a few words to "Adam."
Dear Adam We're with vou! Who
could blame any girl for dabbing a little
color on her face? We use It, but verj
discreetly.
We are two young girls who love
dancing, but not "lizards." We go
cn frequently to dances nnd although
we arc not classed us dolls, we nlwajs
have a good time.
We hnv; often noticed that the "liz
ard type" always dance with the
dolls," and they seem to enjoy them
selves. We have man) boy friends w ith
whom we go to dances, public dances;
nnd one of the chief interests are the
maneuvers of the lizards nnd dolls
while dancing. How can thev call it
dancing? It seems that something must
happen to bring this world back to
know some sense of decencj. And the
wnS- they jazz Oil ! If they were com-"
pelled to do this utter working hard all
ciaj they would complain that life was
a drudgery. Can't something be done?
Something to make these pluces more
leflned?
Of tonrse, thej have police stationed
f.t the different bulls, but thej must be
blind ti allow it nil. We thought the
shimmy was eliminated and also going
out between dances; but I notice that
ull this is still in existence.
Tell me, "Adam," what in the world
has happened to the modern generation
of the male sex? Have they all been
stunted in their growth? Heally, they
remind us of mere boys of li or 10
masquerading. With the tight-fitting
ruit, slit bell sleeves, pearl buttons, and
hair carefully parted in the middle anil
plastered down, to matcu the "dollj"'
bangs and spit curls, lie resembles a
strange species of mankind. The motto
ot our mothers and grandmothers was:
"On with trie dance, let joy be uncon
fuicd." While the twentieth century motto
seems to be :
"On with the shimmy, let joy be unre
fined." Hoping to hear from you again,
"Adam," also other leaders, we remain
"PALS."
The Testing of Julia Grant
By HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOtt
CopiHaht, 1910, by the Public Ledger Company
Julia Refuses to
READ THIS FIRST
After Dan Carson has jilted Julia
Grant for another woman, he dis
covers that she is, after all, the only
one he really loves, and he asks her a
second time to marry him. Julia,
who has taken up hospital work, has
changed more thnn she realizes, and
after she has given Dan her promise,
she discovers that she has given 'her
heart to Dr. John Norville, the head
surgeon at the hospital. She deter
mines, hovvpvpr, to hp true to her
promise to Dap, and then Lucy, her
younger sister, complicates matters by
confessing her love for her sister's
flunee.
NOW 00 ON WITH THE STORY
ffltniAT are you going to do, Julia?"
W Lucy asked after a few minutes.
Lu.cy's mind was going up nnd down.
One minute she was glad and relieved
thnt Julia knew the truth ; the next her
heart was filled with a 'strange fore
bodiug thnt had its source in the fact
that she did not understand Jullfl, und
she had no idea what her sister would
do.
"There isn't nnjthing to do, is
there?" Julia asked slowly.
Lucy felt n sudden inclination to
scream, to shake Julia out of her stub
bornness, to do anything that would
arouse her to action.
"You mean you're going on with it?
She threw out her hnnds in n childish
gesture of disbelief, and Julia caught
them.
"Listen, dear, you must not get so
excited; jou mustn't, I tell you. What
do vou want mo to do?"
"I want you to jiive him up." Lucy
sobbed wildly.
"Rut If he doesn't love you, what
then? T can't go to Dan and say that
jou love him and I am giving him up to
vou. Re sensible. Y'ou don't want him
to know that you care for bim unless
he tells you he cares for jou, do -ou?"
"Yes, I do," Lucy sobbed "Resides,
ho would tell me so himself if you would
let him. I'd make him n much better
wife. I'm not up in the clouds like you
nre; I'm not too good for him. I'd un
derstand his mistakes nnd love him in
spite of therii, You alvvavs make him feel
in the wrong. Ob, I know you can't
help it. Julia; jou're just made that
way. Rut don't you believe for a min
ute that Dan Is happy."
Lucy stopped n minute and wiped her
eyes on a handkei chief. Julia sat in
silence waiting for Lucy to go on,
"At first I was like mother," Lucv
went on. "AH' I cared about was hav
ing you mrry Don. I didn't reason
much about it nor think why, but you
had been engaged to him, and when he
left you that way you were terribly'un

What is a good inexpensive nail

The regular use of a good faciul soap
with occasional Bteamlng with hot wa
ter should make your skin free ot
blackheads. Use warm water to make
tho hither, then rinse in cooler wnter
and finish with just ns cold water as you
can get. This will stimulate jour cir
culation and iflay make the skin clearer.
If this does not help jou had better
consult n physician as the condition

Remove the stain from your shoe by
wiping it with cold wutcr nnd then ap
ply a paste of Trench clinlk nnd chloro

the paste on the stain until it is dry
then brush it off cnrcfullj .
Ask at the toilet articles counter of

kinds, nnd by looking around a little
you enn find an inexpensive one.

you suffered, but now I undeistand
better, nnd I know. I told mother
thnt I loved Dan."
"Lucy!" Julia looked at .her sister
in amazement tinged with pain'.
"Yes, I tliotignt she would sympa
thize with me, but she didn't. She wants
you to marry Dan, but it isn't because
she cares so much for your happiness.
She knows it's the easiest way out,
that's all."
"Lucy, stop; you mustn't talk that
way."
''But it's true, Julia."
Julia was silent. She was trying to
find n way out of this awful muddle
that things were in, a way that would
be the right wav for every one concerned.
Lucy's confession had divulged many
things to Julia that she had not under
stood before. She had never known
that Lucy thought her up in the clouds,
certainly she had never made nn effort
to appear superior ; but it was very
likely that Dan had thought her so, as
well ns her familj. Of course, tho
fact that Lucj cared for Dan compli
cated matters terribly. Julia could not
see herself married to Dan now, and the
thought that there might be a way out
filled her heart with a hope that was J
stiangeiy and dellcipusiy new. uan
married to Lucy would bo tho ideal way
out, and then there was Doctor Nor
ville! She closed her ejes In an
ecstasj of remembering. Even his at
titude tonight, when he had come there
for her and had met Dan, might be ex
plained awav if only she were free
again io do what she wanted, to tell him
cverj tiling.
Julia looked at Lucy suddenly. "You
say that Dan isn't happy?" she asked.
Lucy colored. "No, I don't think he
is. Ho expects jou to be the way you
were before jou went to the hospital,
and you just won't be. Ho doesn't
believe in independent ideas and in
women who do things outside ot the
home,"
"No, I know he doesn't," Julia said
dryly. "Well, I'm going to give Dan
every chance in the world to get out of
this, Lucy, and if he wants jou he'll
tell me the truth,"
"No, he won't," wailed Lucy. "Uorr
could he when he doesn't know it?"
Then Julia saw just what Lucy
wanted her to do. She wanted Julia to
tell Dan about Doctor Norville, to get
out of her engagement that way; then
she, Lucy, would get Dan on the le
botind. Julia slowly shook her head. "Np,
I'm not going to break the engagement,
Lucy," she said slowly. "I'vo given
nly promise and I've been through all
kinds of unhappincss to keep it. I
won't break it uow. If Dan wants to
break it that's quite another thing." I

Those college girl farmerettes who lived
with n farmer's family during their en-1
llstment period, it seems to me, would
have a keen knowledge of c6ndltions in
the house and community whero they
lived. They saw so much more than
the potatoes they planted, tho corn ther
shocked nnd the rows they hoed. Thc.r

they knew and felt the joys nnd sorrows
and needs of nil the other members.
Why wouldn't they be admirably suited ,
to this position?
And they have not that usual draw--back,
that "I'd love to, but I simply
can't afford it. I must earn my living."
The living earns itself in the doing.

It is not proper to ask the girls to

You can find inexpensive favors nt the

a btand-up meal, so that every one
goes into the dining-room nt the snme

others sit in other parts of the room,
or stand up while they eat.
When the guests arrive, send them
into another room or upstairs to a

one room for the girls nnd another for
the boys. Stay in tbe living-room

It will not be necessary to go with

Dear Madam Kindly reply through

tions :
What is n unique way for a bride to
cut her wedding cake?
What is the state flower for New
Mexico, Minnesota nnd Wisconsin?
J. E. n;
Instead of having the bride cut the
cake have it cut before the wedding
and placed in little white boxes made
for the purpose. Then at the wedding
have a Imge cake of papier mache or
pasteboard placed before the bride with
much ceremony. Let the bride slash it
recklessly with a huge carving knife.
When it falls to pieces there should be
curds inside for nil the guests telling
them where to look to find the boxes o
cake thnt are hidden for them.
