WILSON TELLS HOW TO PREPARE HAM This Can Be Kept for Two Weeks in Winter and Used in Various Ways Sausage Can Be Made of Remnants After Cold Cuts and Emince Have Been Taken Off By MRS. M. A. WILSON (Copyright, 3910. bv Jfr. If. A. Iflljoit. Alt noma restrvea.i THE average family who ltko linm frequently hesitate when nbout to purchase a whole ham because thev feel that It Is expensive. Yet. If the housewife will just plan her menus for about three weeks ahead she will find the purrhase of a whole ham occasion ally a real help in reducing the cost of living. Select a regular ham from a small pic remembering that a lean ham is poor meat. lie sure that the ham has a reasonable amount of fat. Nine and one-half to twelve pounds is a good buy. To cut the ham with a saving it Is necessary for the housewife to own a meat saw. This saw need not be ex pensive. Turchase a hacksaw at the hardware shop, costing about a dol lar. This will be several sizes smaller than the butcher's nnd of a somewhat similar shape. Have a good butcher knife and keep It for cutting meats. It will be a real saving to keep these two tools for their special work. Make a slanting cut across the. butt, near the hip joint, cutting the meat to the bone. Saw through the bone and then finish cutting. This butt should be about four to four nnd one-half pounds. The ham should be cooked in the .fireless cooker to be done perfectly. It prevents undue loss or shrinkage of the meat tissue. This slow method also prevents the meat from becoming ragged or overcooked. When it is impossible to cook In the flrelcss cooker place the butt of the ham in a larse saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring quickly to a boil and then place where it will just simmer, allowing one-half hour per pound. If It Is desired to serve cabbage with the boiled ham lift one quart of the water in which the ham was cooked to another saucepan nnd add sufficient water to cover the cabbage. Cook the cabbage until tender. This gives the cabbage the flavor of the ham. Replace the water which has been removed from the cook ing of the ham. Cut the amount of ham that is re quired for the Mrving and then return the but, to the water in which it was cooked ind allow it to cool. This pre vents the meat from drying out. Cold cuts may be tnken from the butt. Use the water in which the ham was cooked for bean, pea and lentil soups. Navy, lima and soy beans may be used for variety. When unable to obtain sizable cold ruts from the butt of the ham, use the balance for emince and the bone, with the meat clinging to it, for baked beans. For a family of four this four-and- one-hplf-pound butt will provide enough ham to serve with the boiled dinner, cold cuts of ham for dinner and lunch, benn or pea soups, emince of ham for breakfast and baked beans. Take the shank end of the ham and ,i) cover the cut side with a piece of wax paper. Wrap the ham In heavy paper 3 and hang in a cool cellar or in some cool place, such as the wire shelf in the icebox. This ham will keep for two or '- three weeks In winter and for about ten days in summer. Should the skin side of the ham become moldy, wipe it with a cloth which has been wrung from hot water and rub with shortening.

He meets her ly chance and takes her to lunch. CHAPTER VI LAUREL van late for dinner, which was unusual. Winona straightened up from the stove where she wai look ing anxiously at the chicken that re posed in the oven and looked at Laurel reproachfully. Ned Banning, who was making niajonnnibe in a blue bowl, an anron tipd around his wai6t, winked at her soiemmy. rram me "' mw..., Tom Benton, who had beeti asked to dinner as something quite unusual, growled cut something at Laurel over his paper. "You sound as though you were giv ing me an assignment on a blue morn 'Ing." Laurel laughed, divesting herself of her outer things. Out with It, Win, and get it over," the finished. "Whore have you been? Everything's ruined," she said in one breath, "Out to tea with firanville Bur ton," Laurel announced calmly. Ned's spoon clattered against the bowl as he dropped it and Benton from the next room threw down his paper and came to the door. Winona stood looking at Laurel as though she couldn't have heard aright. Laurel looked from one to another. "What's the matter with you people?" she nsked finally. "I haven't killed any one you kuow. "I didn't know you knew Burton," Benton spoke first. "Why, she doesn't," from Winona. "I do now." Laurel said calmly. "Lot's have dinner, I'm stnrved." Winona, recalled to tho ruined din ner, foreborc asking any more ques tions until they had rescued the chicken from the ivcn and were seated around the tiny gateleg table. Then when Ned was carving she turned back to "Well!" she exclaimed, 'Well"' Laurel returned. "What is It?" "You act as though it were an ordi nary thing to go to tea with Granville Burton.

My Dear Mrs. Wilson Will you kindly publish a recipe for making fruitcake containing raisins, currants and citron? Also what amount of each will I have to use? MRS, H. F. See the cake recipe for the Christmas holidays. My Dear Mrs.' Wilson I oxpect to have about eighteen persons at a little party and Svbuld like to have a little spread. Would you kindly suggest what would serve? I have had very good luck with your recipes. MRS. A. D.

Laurel smiled comnlncentlv. She had actually thought very little of it, but something nbout the way Winona acted and the way the two men, even Renton, who gave out the assignments, looked at her. kept her from telling them that Burton had asked her to go motoring with him some time. It an noyed her vaguely to have them think things. After all,' why was it so ex traordinary? Burton was just being kind nnd he was no different from other people excepting for his money and tho power that it gave him. Winona could not seem to tret- nver the matter at all, and that night after the men had left she made Laurel tell her in detail what had happened. "Well," she remarked finally, as she braided her huir preparatory to going to bed. "All I want to say is. that if it happened to me I'd think a lot more nbout it than you do." And she snapped off the light vigorously lenv Ing Laurel smiling to herself in the dark. Ivrn weeks slipped by and spring was well under way. May had never been so lovely in the city and the country side was a mass of bloom. Winona crew lazy and disinclined to work, but Laurel was as alert as ever. Sundays in tho little apartment both girls sat a long time in slippers and dressing gowns over their brcakfnst. Afterward they dressed slowly and leisurely nnd the dav's program began. On rainy days they lounged around, read, wrote a lew letters and went out somewhere for dinner. On clear Sundays they nearly nlways walked, ending up for dinner somewhere with some of the newspaper crowd. One Sunday morning, before either of the girls was out of bed, the tele phone rang nnd Laurel, half asleep, slipped out of bed to answer it. A man's voice snid "Hello," nnd Laurel with a little thrill realized that it was Oranville Burton. "It's a good day for a picnic," he said lightlv. "If you have nothing better to do we might go out Into the country for the day. Would you like that?" "I'd love it." Laurel returned. "Dulcle and Ornce are on their best behavior," he went on evenly, "I've promised that they mav superintend the lunch. What time shall wc call for jou, Miss Stone?" Laurel ttole a glance at the clock. It was 0:0. "At 11." tdie ventured. "Eleven it Is, nnd do you think we can mannce without the chtldrcn'n gov erness? They're very eager to leave her nt home." i "Of course." approved Laurel with n girlish little laugh. It was exciting to be referred to In this way as though d'ranvHIe Burton really cared what she thought nbout things. (To be continued on Monday) The Woman's Exchange A Class Party To the Kilter o! Woman' 1'aoti Dear Madam Our class wishes to en tertain the other classes of the aca demic department. Will you kindly publish a novel kind of entertainment? We do not wish cards, luncheon or any elaborate displays, as this must begotten up with as littjo expense as possible. A CLASS SECRETARY. Why not have this affair In the form of a reception or a tea, if It Is in the afternoon? Then for part of the time you could have shadow movies. Hang a thin curtate without folds across one end of the room. Have strong electric lights some distnnce back of it so that shadows will fall distinctly on the cur tain. Then stnge a ridiculous scene In pantomime, between the lights and the curtain. The balcony secne from "Romeo and Juliet" could be done In a burlesque fashiou, and, of course, the more that is shown in the shadows of the "work ings" behind the scenes the funnier it will be to the audience. You would have to use n stcpladder covered-with n "wall" and vines for the balcony,. If the stepladder throws a clear shadow it would not make any difference. Any other scene would do as well. You might take something from a play that has been in town this season, provided it is known well enniirh to he limler- itood by the audience. incn when It is time for refresh ments have the guests stand In line and draw numbers from a huge tray. Tell each onp to take two numbers, or three, according to the amount of your refreshments. Then tell them to hand the numbers to a member of tho class, who will bring them "eats" from a prettily decorated table, according to the numbers they present. . Of course, the guest who draws 7 and 3 will think she is going to get something entirely different from the person next to her who has drawn 10 and 14. But since there will be only punch and sand wiches, or ice cream and cake, they will all draw exactly the same thine. The suspense and the surprise cause lots ot tun. During the rest of the time you could dance, or clay games, or stace an impromptu vaudeville show, calling upon every girl who has any special talent, such as dancing, singing, re citing, drawing, or playing piano, to perform. I hope these suggestions will help you. But In What Year? To the Editor of Woman's Poor: Dear Madam Kindlv let me know through the Evenkto Public Ledger what day did the 8th of February come on.

It would not be possible for me to advise you about the strength of this concern. You would have to consult some one who is engaged In that kind of business nnd has facilities for looking up the Information. Dislnvashing By NINA T. HEIDELBERGEB In Pictorial Revlow Dishwashing used to be the bane of my existence, nnd I am glad to say I can use the past tense, for I have worked out a system so that I never put my hands into hot, greasy water, I scrape off all the grease and then stack the dishes on edge in a colander and let the hot water run over them freely. After a moment or two they are quite clean and the hot, greasy water runs away. If any food sticks to a dish it can be easily rubbed off with a long-handled mop. I put my silver into the colander too, being care ful to keep the bone-handled knives sticking up well out of the way of the hot water, but the beauty of, my sys- tem, too, is tnat because tnc water is souutii uui, ir..T u u.umcut tu hurry I simply stack them on a .tray Uljr luc ....., .. ..... u .. .- and they dry Dy tnemseivcs.

A SLENDER WAY OF BEING BOUFFANT Women must have bouffant skirts for evening. Yet they must have a sihn silhouette, and so they ac quire both by making their drapery of tulle which stands out but is not bulky. Beads weigh down the skirt ltseu and trim the bodlco A Daily Fashion Talk by Florenco Rose THE American woman certainly has not been overeager at adopting the bouffant hip silhouette launched in Paris and seen so interestingly devel oped here in stage frocks this season. Of course this side bouffnncy has been worn elsewhere than on the stage, but I must confess that there arc a good many conservative but very well-dressed women who have not adopted the fash ion and who get their most distinct im pression of the new mode from the frocks worn on the stage. You see the new bouffancy is a thing that springs out directly beneath the waistline. It makes the hipllne nppear square. Very young women and very slender women may wear this with im punity. But it is a dangerous silhouette for tho woman who is fat or forty much more the woman who is both to tamper with. And it is to the credit of the American woman that she has gone slowly. In this country the well dressed middle-aged woman was too sensible to make herself a caricature In the extremely abbreviated skirt, and she is now either avoiding the hip bouT fancy or asking for a modified form of it something that is adapted to her figure and bearing. The little evening frock in the sketch, though it was not intended for a middle aged woman, is an example of the sort of adaptation that has been made qf the new French silhouette. There Is a profuse drapery of tulle that gives the effect of much bouffancy without actu ally enlarging tue silhouette to nny con siderable extent. Moreover, Instead ol being crisp and therefore outstanding, it is soft and clinging and therefore does not add bulkiness.

There Is no sadder 'net in. this world than for a refined, intelligent single wopian (through no fault of hers) to have to depend on relatives for tt honje. If thcro was such a fund, where she could borrow, 6hc could soon establish a little business or rent n large 'house, and have rooms nicely furnished for relit. Think how many happy hearts and glad faces there would bo If some millionaire would use one of her millions for. that good cause. I often wonder why these wealthy single women do not make a will for their single sisters. That will, made by a single woman a few weeks ago, leaving $2000 for the "woman In the way" sensed tho need of Just such a fund. But the pity of It there Is, none, and the "woman In the way" will still have to endure her humiliation. C. E. R. She Certatnly Is In Loye Dear Cynthia You have helped oth ers and I know you will kindly help me, as I read your letters every night. I have been going with n young man for five months: he calls every Wednes day and Sunday evening, only once in a while he plays music with other fellows nt parties, and then he tells me and he docs not come that evening. He has a good position, but he saves and I love him very much. I think he likes me, but he has never told me so. I live at home and have all my own money I make. I often buy tick ets for shows and dances, and give them to him so we can co. Do you think it Is right to do so? I have an old sweetheart, whom, I went with for over n venr ! we rmrtcd because he said he would never get married, and I did not see him for six months. He came to see mo at work and I treated mm the same as I always did. I have been going to dances every Friday evening mil he is there. I take the other fel low along with me, but I will give him a dance, and he waits for us and walks out to the car. While he was away from me he went with another girl and they were engaged to be married and they broke it off. While I was danc Inp with him I said. "Why didn't you get married?" and, all he said was that he. made a mistake and it was for the best. I love him very much nnd I still think of him nil the time. I think he would like to go out with me, only he docs not like to ask me. because I go with the other fellow. Would you ask him to go out some time with me? IN LOVE. I don't see how you can love both these voting men at the same time. It is perfectly proper for you to take the young man to parties, but why don t vou let him tnke you once In a while? Perhaps he likes your theatre tickets and dances. Instead of you. Certainly ask the other man to go with you some time, if you want to. Young Widow to Remarry Dear Cynthia Would you kindly tell me what to do? I am a young widow. I am going to he married this spring. Now I wish you would tell me what' to do with my p-edding ring of my first husband. Some tell me it would be very nnpioper for rac to wear it after I nm remarried. But, as my husband is dead, I didn't see nny harm in it, which my fiance objects to. A YOUNG WIDOW. It is nerfectly natural for your nance to object to your wearing a ring which is the symbol of your former j marriage. Now that you arc to be. his wife, he does not want to be re- minded of any one else who oncu held . ms ni.icc in your nnccuons. wi course, youwould not wear the ring after jou are married again, for you will hae another one, anil it would be better, now that you are engaged, to agree to your fiance's wishes and stop wearing the ring. A Reply for "At Sea" Dear Cynthia In regnrd to "At Sea," I do not think that men are made for love ufler all. Tell me, ami answer through Cnthia's column, what is it that you men care for about girVV Is it the good looks? Is that true iove? I do not believe tbnt men nre mode for love after all, or know much about it. It seems as If their hearts are made of stone. They forget the lost love and leave an aching heart behind. We women are the ones who suffer, for Me alone know whnt it means. So tell inc. men, do you believe in love, or is it just a folly or pastime? Do you think it is proper for a man to leave his sweetheart or wife for a preltlrr girl? Thank you, Cynthia. Best uishes and love to you. Cynthia, for you are like a dear mother to us.

Lately he lias been acting sueer. He brings me home, but somehow he seems different. He nets coolly and I would like to know, Cyn thia, how I can win him hack. I uni not the kind to forget easily, and I don't have any peace for thinking of him. He is always on my mind. Please answer me as soon as possible, Cynthia. know you have many correspondents, but I am sure you can nuswer me this week. I hope this Is not too long. IN LOVE.

Just go about with your other friends for n while, dear, and see how he behaves. Don't by nny meanH let him see that you are worried auout mm. For Love or Money? Dear Cynthia I am just a plain working girl, but really I am perfectly beautiful, having beautiful black, wavy hair, wonderful black, soulful eves. also I have li very good figure.

I know that much myself, so I thought you could tell What Do the Readers Advise Her to Do? Dear Cynthia I am twenty and am engaged to a young man twenty live. We became engaged threo years ago against my parents' consent nnd they will never give their ,cbns?nt because he is not rich. But he makes $50 a week, which is plenty'to live upon, we think. Now this young man wishes to be married very soon ns in his position it will benefit him. My parents, ns I said, will never let me marry him so I must do it sec retly. In this case 'would it be all right to elope? We have waited so long, I am sure I love him very dearly and he loves me. Please, tell us what to do?

You know how Cynthia feels about marrying for money. Marry tho one .vou love If he Is not making enough, wait until he can support you. The Boys Won't Go Out Dear Cynthia Wo nre two girls of the same age, considered jolly and rather liked by the opposite sex, but, Cynthia, there is a question we would both like to aBk and that Is : clow is it that the boys nowadays would rather sit in a parlor all evening than take a girl out to a show or eo skating or sledding? They like the kind of girls that luvitc them to their homes and then sit in the parlor to about 11 o'clock with them. It can't bo that they arc afraid of spoiling their suits or afraid that they will have to spend their money, be cause the boys I have met are not that kind, nud I can't see why they nlways like to stay in tho house. I wish some of your other readers would kindly en lighten us, and wc would be very thank ful to them. BLUE AND BROWN EYES. Perhaps they would rather talk to you than go out anywhere. Have yon asked them this question? He Gives Them a Shame Face Dear Cynthia We arc two girls, both beventcon years old, and coming to you for advice. Can you please tell us how to get rid of a young man we don't care to have for company, as he gives us a shame face? Here he is: No overcoat, red socks, baby tie, .yj shoes end no bsndcrchlef. RUTH AND ROSE. ane oniy way to get rid ot him is to refuse to go out with him ; have other engagements when he calls. Per haps the poor boy cannot afford to buy the proper clothes. Is he all right in other respects? If he is a nice boy, it seems rather unkind to turn him down on account of his clothes. Meets Him on the Cc ner Dear Cynthia I come to you with a big problem, I have been facing for two years now. You are one of tho few of whom I would nsk advice. I have been going with a young man for five years now and care a great deal for him. Two years ago mv mother and father forbid him to come to my home. Then it was too late because I already loved him. I must meet him in the street for these last few years. I am a girl twenty-one years old nnd do not like to have other boys in my home ns I hate to sec my mother anil lamer treat them so fine. lie is Inst a few years mv senior nnd mnlrlnr- n i hie salary, nfter rnminr? nut nt tho navy. It is his people my mother and father object to. tTIiIs boy has done his duty over there, but romes home to wait on the corner each evening. He is willing to wait for me to marry nim ns long as I sav. Could you try to heln me. dc.ir Cynthia? WEST PHILADELPHIA GIRL. Oo to your mother, dear, and tell her just what you' have written. Let her know that you have been meeting 1 this young man on the corner because you oo love mm. ,1 am sure she will understand. If there is anything really wrong with his family, of course, it would not be wise to marry him, hut if your parents have just a personal dislike for them, you can surely make them overlook it. Of course. It Is not right for you to meet any man on street corners, you know, no matter how much you love him. Wedding Rings for Men Dear Cynthia I have read your column for some time nnd have al ways enjoyed it. Now I would like to put my question through your worthy column. Why isn't it the custom for men to wear wedding rings as well as the women? I think It wouldn't be more thnn fair that they should wear them just as well. I would like to hear what the readers have to sav about this. Perhaps "Ruck Private" would like to give some opinion on this. i was interested in ills question. CLEOPATRA. When the double-ring ceremony is used men do wear wedding rings. Thinks Men Worse Cheaters Dear Cynthia May I write an an swer to the letrcr on women chentiug? In my experience of married life i have found men bv far the worst cheat ers. I was brought up to respect truth and honor, and naturully thought every one did, except the degraded class, but I was not married long before I found out differently, and the nwakening was nothing less than cruel, I married a mar. before he went in the service, as he begged me to do so. nnd I thomrht n long as wc loved each other, nothing! cise maiicren, so i iook tno chance of having to take him back a cripple and perhaps work for him the rest of my life, and only ton willingly would I havs and came 'home" O.

My mother told me I wns fool ish, but I trusted and believed him lo my own sorrow, for he had not been hack five months when I read letters he had written to another girl just as loving and affectionate as thpso he wrote me. I told him of It and ho swore it was not true even over the proof. I was ready to leave him, but he cried and coaxed and begged me not to, eveu threatened to commit suicide if I did, so I gave him another chance. Now I know that It has done no good, as he is not true to inc. He is very affectionate and loving to me and gives me anything I want, but it ouly dlsgustH me, as I LadieoKeepYourSIdn Clear, Sweet, Healthy With Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Talcum THE GIRL WHO EXCLAIMS "OH, I COULDN'T DO THAT!" Doesn't Really Know Whether She Could or Not She Has Never Tried to Find Out Just How Much She Can Do ttfXB, I couldn't do that I Why, I'd J nover be able to do it." exclaimed the girl with the timid manner. It la her most frequent speech. She nover can do anything. Of course, she hns never tried, nnd she really doesn't know whether Fhe could or not. But she always says whenever anything is suggested for her to do, "Oh, I never could!" The club of which she Is a member appoints her to write up the notice of the annual dance for tho newspapers. "Oh, I couldn't," she cries, with a helpless giggle. "Why. I wouldn't know how to start, even." And so she doesn't. She "never could" knit a whole sweater, even when all the girls In sight are discussing the newest stitch, the latest style nnd so on. She wouldn t even know how to begin the nrst stucn. "Did you ever try?" somebody finally inquired. "How do you know whether you could or not?" "Oh, I just know I couldn't," she replied. The only thing she really knows how to do Is to cling to the fact that she couldn't do anything. It is n convenient characteristic, this timid ity. She Is so afraid to start, so sure that she will not be successful, that somebody else nlways comes to the rescue and does things for her. SO FAR she has managed to get throueh life very easily. But I won der what would happen if she ever think it is only to cover up A'mt he pretends his love for o cover up the other . ..An nnt call this rieeett and cheating nretenrlfl his love lor me. iuv in its true form? I have only one thing to do, leave him, and be pointed out al ways as a woman who does not live with her husband or go on living with him and bear tho cheating a lifetime, which looks very bard, as I am only twenty-one and have not Den mnrncu two years. . , . I have no doubt there are plenty of women cheaters, but,' for all, men are surclv their equal and far above. I am afraid this is very long, but I have never written yon before. TRUTHi She Makea the Girls Jealous Dear Cynthia I am a girl sixteen years old, and am considered very good ii.: h,. tho trinle sex. But most of the iri T think, are lealous of me. When. I go to a dance, which I do most every week. I cannot get any girl to go with me. I do not like to go alone in my friend's car. . . The girls always invite me to their parties if uo voung men would be pres ent. But I hnrdlv ever get invited to a mixed party by a girl. It is always by a gentleman.. Cynthia, dear, I wish you could help me. I want the girls to like me, not tu fear for their young gentlemen friends when I nm around, ONE WHO IS LONELY. Perhaps your attitude makes the girls mistrust you. I am afraid you rather glory in their jealousy, don't you? C.irls of sixteen are not quite old enough to have "gentlemen friends." desr. nn' so if you just treat them nil as boys and good friends I nm sure jou won t naw any trouble with the girls. They Agree With "Just Jim" Dear Cynthia Just a word from "Blue Eyes and Blondy" : We have read our readers' opinions about "love." We both agree, with "Just Jim" and believe him to have the right don? on the subject. As re gards the other reader, we believe him all wrong. "Passion is not love." This is being brought out strongly in ore of the recent photoplays. We hope to publish our idea of "love" in the near future. Hoping to hear more opinions on buch a broad subject as this, we remain, BLUE EYES AND BLONDY. He Was Very Rude Dear Cynthia As you have helped others. 1 know that you will help me. 1 have known n young man for over a year and we have been the best of fiiendg until lately. I promised to go to n pic nic with him. ami when lie cn-ne to the house I was s.till abed, as I had forgotten to tell mother to call me, and Avhen he came it was fi-.'M a. m. He was very angry, no doubt, when he left. I wrote and apologized, blaming my self, but he wouldn't answer, and mother, thinking he mnv not have re ceived It, told me to writo again. So I wrote a second time, but ns he didn't answer I stopped. Do you think I was wrong. Cynthia, in writing to him 1 would like to have your advice, as mother and I liked him very much. ACNES R. T. It was perfectly right of jou to npol ogize to the young man. since your fail ing' to be ready for him probably made him late to the picnic. But there was no reason for him to be so yery angry "i 5fes.HT1 -. rj WALTER BAKER & C0 found herself high nnd dry on her own resources?
