The naturnl instinct to putter nnd fuss oer a bit of food our selves Is as old as the history of man, and while most people who live alone usually dine out In the evening, ever once in so often there comes n longing for the impromptu feast which can be provided by one's own hands.

In Which Harriet f7rarI'c Jiurton hai been married otfore and has two children. He is head of a big corporation, and Laurel Btone is sent bg the Chronicle to in terview him.

Up knew whut she was thinking nnd it made itbsolutelj no difference to him. "Don't jeiu think nu'd better make the best of it?" he asked. Hurriet was thinking rapidly. After ,tll Mrs. Kennw had said, "that beau tiful joung woman." and then. too. Gran was too fastidious to be suited with just an one. Besides it wns quite fashionable since the war to af fect a democratic attitude. And she could not aftoul to iire.ik with Jruti. He wns too firmly established If the irtrl were at all ores, ntable. he 'mild carry her with him wherever he liked; she might have anj triumph and suielv if she, Harriet Long, declared herself on their side she would have more in fluence in the future than she would It she were disagreeable. So she forced a smile to her face and said quickly : "Of course, dran, you can't blame me for being surprised " "Oh, every one will be surprised." And he shrugged his shoulders. "Aren't you going to tell me any thing about her?" And Harriet forced one of her brilliant smiles. "There's nothing else to tell. We're jolng to be married next Monday," "Next Monday!" Harriet had not dreamed of such huste. "Well, why not? There isn't going to be a weddiug. I went through all of that once." "Oran. how can you?" Harriet s tone was shocked. "Well, I tell jou. this girl is differ ent; there's no nonsense about her, and I believe, Hurriet. that jou were urging tne to murry not long ago." "Yes, I was, (Jrun. but I thought tome one In our own set. some one who would know how to manage your bouse and take care of of jour children."

"May I call on her?" she said finally. "Of course, by all meuns," he re turned. "All right, Miss Rhodes," as the secretary appeared in the door. "I'm reudv for you now. Sorry, Harriet, but I must turn you out." ' And Har riet, much to her chngrin, found herself rising mechanically and walking past Miss Rhodes, whose calm indifference vas broken by a faint expression of amusement ts Mrs. Long pabsed her, Harriet called on Laurel the neit day. Oran over the telephone had given her Laurel's address on East Eleventh street and she wondered at herself as she r limbed the three flights of stairs. She rang the bell and a tall girl with a mass of ruddj hair opened the door. She wore a plain neutral-colored frock of graj . embroidered In orange wool. She had amazing eyes. Behind her a rather attractive room made a pretty background. The tall girl held out slim fingers; her manner was quite perfect. Harriet was a little breathless, and she said a little jerkily, "I am Oran ville Burton's sister-in-law, Harriet Long." , Laurel colored. "How nice of you j to search me out up here," she said her heart hammering furiously but her manner quite calm. She drew out the most comfortable chair in the room for Harriet, and curled herself up on the black velour divan with the vnricolored pillows piled at her back. , Harriet thought she hud never seen any one so loej- us this girl No wonder flrnn was in love with her. she was quite enchanting, quite different. It was rather difficult to fathom the girl. Here wus no cheap adventuress, but a woman of breeding, a girl who made her own way in the world, but who was evidently of a good fumily and was lovely to look at. Harriet had come to patronize, but she found no opportunitj . She was glad now that she had taken this cnnrm. and had come to call on the girl. She congratulated herself on her cleverness. "I only just heard the news yester day," she explained. "And, of course, I wanted to meet von. (Jrun tells me that you are going to be married quietly next week. Aren't the children going to be there?" "No, 1 dou't believe so," Laurel said slowly. "I wnntcd them, but Mr. Bur ton thought it best not to have any one." She made no effort to tell their plans, she felt intuitively that Harriet had not come in the spirit of welcoming her into the family, but simply out of curiosity and when Harriet left Bhe knew no more about anything than she hud before.

Last evening while reading it oer I was very much amused with the outpourings of n certain persou who signed herself "Anxious," particularly when she touched upon the nationality of her friend, who, from her own de scription of him, certainly -must have been n perfect gentleman.. As to his Italian nationality, I am proud to say that 1 am descendant from the same good, old race, Whose in domitable spirit and bravery have been the admiration of the world, especially during this war. However, if this young man was an Italian, it certainly was not to his credit to say that he was French. AMERICAN. Stands Up for Sailors Dear Cynthia Permit me to give my opinion regarding the sailors. After rending several nnswers I could not re frain from lauswcriug. I can form no opinion whatever of the people that have no respect for the sailors. Who was it that took the boys over to France? The sailors were never shown the re spect that is due them. These boys were disregarded during the war. It simply is outrageous the way these bos are treated. Some of them may be far away from home nnd would like to have a little pleasure, but when they see the attitude of some of the girls, why. it just disgusts them. We must remember that they are only humans and have feelings the same as civilians. Some of your readers may think me a sailor iocr, but I am just sensible and con siderate. Many of my friends arc wear ing the blue today and they are more re fined, have more manners uud, as one girl sins, 1 would not be afraid to meet them 'in front of the President of the United States. Of course, we uH know that good and bad are found every where, but if some girls came across the bad why judge the rest accordingly? We've all met fresh civilians, but do we form our opinion of the icst on these? So, sailor haters, please change vour attitude towaid these boys and be just a little considerate. bome of the girls during the war weni wiui me sailors only to get out of them what the could, such us their neckerchiefs, prc'ttv odd pins nnd pretty rings that the sailors had. Never mind, girls, our dm will come, too, when you will sit up i nnd think to yourself, why did I do 1 this and why did I do that? But it will all be too late. I only wish there was some kind of a navy for girls to travel mound and see the world. It would not be five minutes before I would wear the blue. In my eyes there is uo prettier uniform limn the sailor's. I hae no brothers, no relatives in the navy, but when I saw the sailors parade some timo nan mv attitude changed, and jou will notice by this letter to whut.

I would like to tell jou, "Experience," that a separation of a week from my friend has brought him to his senses, uud blncc I last wrote of Many Things to Cynthia Here's a Challenge for All the Readers! Dear Cynthia Here is an argu ment my friends nnd I had one eve ning. It will afford much food for thought, yet will always remain n mystery. Now I would like to hear what your .readers have to say on this argument, and what arc their opinion and reason on the sub ject of "Love nnd Death." Which is the stronger, dear readers? Let us all have something to say on it. T am sure it will amuse us nil to hear what each one of us has to say on the matter, as I, later on, will also voice my opinion. What do you say. Cynthia? What do jou say, renders? Come on, let me hear from J'ou all. Say everything jou can; you cannot be ashamed of what you say, and hide .vour face in the corner it is only print and we will let "Cynthia" decide which wins. My subject, as I have stated before, is entitled "Loe and Death," or "Love or Death." I saj "Love" is the greater. Come on, readers, what do you say? I am, A PRETTY LITTLE BRUNETTE. to Cynthia I have noticed a remarkable change in my sweelTieartj which, if defined, jvould mean that he has realized that a person doesn't know a good thing when he has it. So, "Experience," may "Innocence" offer you a tiny bit of advice, and that is, to be careful, becnuse a person can stand so much and no more? ' Please accept my heartiest wishes that jou'll soon be rid of that demon "jealousy" and will then enjoy fully your worldly riches.

I am answering "Anxious' " letter, the one who loves a lieutenant. When I read it, my blond was boiling with rage. Why do some always knock the Italians? Are tliej not as good us anjbody else? Tell me what makes you better than the Italians V The one who discovered Amer ica was an Italian. And if it wasn't for him you wouldn't be here. So give us jour opinion thiough Cynthia's col umn. What makes jou any better than them? Now, "AWious," when I read jour letter I thought, why do the majority of the Americans marry Italian fellows? I'm sure they must like them. So, I think jou are brain- i less in speaking against them. So please do not say. anything more ugainst the Italians, as they are just as good as jou. And, furthermore, if I was to meet you face to face, 1 surely would give you a piece of mv mind. Well, I don't believe he enres for you. I suppose you love his good looks and candy? Well, Cjnthia, I think I have said enough. Thanking you very much. TWO AMERICAN GIRLS, B. B.

They Don't Trust Her Dear Cynthia Noticing the wise answers you have given to others, we ask your advice on the following : We are four club members, under the leadership of a young lady about twenty-three years of age. Her motto seems to be, "New faces, new fancies." She selects n few girls und shows great affection for them, and nfter making them love her goes back to her old motto, and breaks the girls' hearts. She is beginning to show a great deal of affection toward us girls now, but, profiting by others' experiences, we are undecided whether or not to continue her friendship. Please tell us what to do. as we are waiting for your answer in the Evening Pudlic LnDacR. HB.,R. Y. M. T. It may be that this young woman is following a plan of her own by which she intends to get to know all of her girls. Is she disagrceublc to these girls after making them love her? If she simply becomes intimate with a few at a time, and turns to another group when she has become friends with a certain number, you surely cannot criticize her. She cannot be intimate with all of you right away. I am afruid that you arc allowing youselves to get "crushes" on her and worship her. If you do this jou are bound to get broken heurts. You would be much better, more loyal club members, if you accept her friendship, and try to help her instead of putting her on a pedestal that she is bound to tall oft of.

Who Dance With Whom They Like and Completely ' 1 Overlook Politeness ST. tl VALENTINE'S Day! This is nit rtav of creat mvstcrv to tnoso very youthful "loverB" who wait anx iously for every mail 'and try earnestly to recognize tho carefully disguised printing on the envelope. This is the day when Betty enters the office be hind a large bouquet, and Peggy offers rhocolates from a certain heart-shaped box. And on this day there are parties nnd dances, where Betty and Peggy and all their friends will play nnd dance nnd slug and laugh. And nfter those parties there will be some girls, perhaps not so pretty ns Betty nnd Peggy, perhaps just ns pretty, but not such good dancers, perhaps just as pretty, just as good dancers, but just a bit shy, who will go home and say to their mothers: '"Why is it that the boys only dance with certain girls nnd never bother about the others at all?" And they will tell of rows of boys standing along the wall, looking over the dancers, watching, smoking, while plenty of girls, crazy to dnncc, and able to dance, sot near and also wnited. They will tell of boj-s dancing with certain girls, and certain girls only, because they are sure of not getting "stuck" with, them. They will tell of coming home alone, frightened and unhappy, because nil the boys wanted to walk home with these certain girls. Oh, they tell many tnles of "choosy" boys who would not think of doing anything they did not want to do, who would be rude rather than inconvenienced, who would hurt some one else rather than annoy thcin sejves. I1, WONDER how they would have managed during the old Romnn Valentine's Day, these young boys who would break up a drawing for partners f Hmw realized that thc.v were draw ing a girl they did not like? For in Adventures With a Purse DIDN'T you always think that the Japanese kimonos in colored crepe, with white flowers embroidered on them, were probably the kind worn by real Japanese women in summer time at least? I am quite sure that I did, until I was shown some of the cunningest challis kimonos with large gayly colored flowers on them. These, I learned, are the real Japanese kimonos worn by real Japanese women. The particular shop I have in mind has just n few of them left in stock (for they have been very popular), and they have been reduced to $7. Originally they were almost twice this price. They arc lined with white silk, nnd ,are exceedingly at tractive. Dorothea knows everything. "Are blankets ot such nnd such u brand. I said, naming the brand, "particularly good ones?" "They lire about the best that come," she replied with such con viction that it left no doubt in my mind as to their superiority. "Well," I continued, "I saw some, double-bed size, with pink or blue borders, well bound, for $12.50. And it wns said that thev are worth at least ?lfi..r0." "Why don't vou write nbout them," she asked. "1 will," I replied. And I have. This is an adventure for the lover of Japanese prints. For I write of a sale of prints thnt have been reduced from ,$'', ,"i0 to $1.50. Among them are a col lection of studies by u very well-known Japanese landscape artist, Hokusai, whose work resembles slightly the work of our own impressionist nrtists. Tliej are printed on Japanese rice paper, which is almost like n fabric, nnd many of them are lovely. They have that delicute color treatment that makes the Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Editor of Woman's Page, or call Walnut 3000, for names of shops where articles mentioned in Adventures with a Purse may be purchased.

But what a good thing it would be fjj them? And how some of these gfrls who have been" overlooked for little ot no reason would laugh to see thtn caught nnd held in the vise of a custom that could not bo broken. I think it would be amusing to sec one of the least polite of these young things "wished on" a girl with whom he had over nnd over again refused to dance. T think she couid not be blamed for being just n little, or even a great deal, houghty and disdainful with him. I bhould like very much to see it happen! prints fairly glow.
