and this would provide n satisfying nnd
nourishing meal. Mnny people will
feel that tills amount of meat is a small
allowance, but it is used in this dish
for flavoring nnd when cooked will pro
vide six fairly good sized portions. If
we are really to combat the ever soar
ing cot of food, we will need to start
in by reducing the amount of meat.
European nations as a rule have meat
but twice a week in well-to-do families
and not more thin three times monthly
among the working people, yet they
nrc wonderfully healthy ; intestinal and
other dNturbanees that are due to an
overabundant diet of meat are prac
tically unknown over there. Usunlly
no butter is placed on table with this
meal.

Making More Money
"The Goldfish (Juecn"
pnFOIlE ho located her "big idea,"
Miss Kathcrino f'ooper was secretary
to tho mayor of Omaha, Neb., but her
salary was not sufficient to meet her
needs. What was more, the outlook for
tho futuro was distinctly limited. She
knew that she would have to stop out
sldo her ofllco routine to earn more
morty, but she felt that her business
experience would enable her to do this
onco she found something on which
she could specialize.
Ono day the boUIHsIi In a department
store fountain attracted her attention
and she formed the habit of spending
most of her lunch-hour watching tho fish
and asltlnir questions about them.
"It suddenly flashed upon me," she
afterward explained, "that most of tho
profit was in the globes and food. If
I could only sell tho supplies I could
afford to give the fish away."
Thereupon she had somo cards printed,
nrmounclng that every child who called
nt a certain drug store would ho given a
goldllsn, proviueu mey nrougnt some
thing to put u in rtne uistnnuteu
theso cards at tho schoolhouse, nnd be
fore C o'clock the same day overy ono
of tho goldfish liad been carried away
In JarB, pans, cans, glasses and even
coffee pots.
Until 8 o'clock that night I thought
mv plan had failed." says Miss Cooper.
"Then they began to troop In. Parental
love and tho fact that obviously gold
fish rnrmot be kept in coffee pots camo
to my rescue By 11 o'clock I had sold
all my stock of niobes and food nnd had
wired for more." ....
On the proceeds of several similar
ventures Miss Cooper opened a small
establishment lit Chicago, gradually ex
panding through tho South and South
west until, nt tho present time, sho haa
built up a business which pays her Just
about Ave ttmes her formor salary as
secretary. And It Is all based on that

NE can never have too many towel

I nm sure thnt I could spend all my

saw today for moistening envelope flaps
nnd stnmps. It ronsists of two squatty,
well -shaped bottles, equipped with
sponges nnd daubers for moistening the
envelope or postage stamp. The tops
are decorated, nnd remind one of these
lovely perfume bottles. And they come
attractively boxed in one of those pretty
gift boxes with n poem on the top. The
price of the pnlr is eighty-five cents,
you'd better look shnrp if you nrc in
terested, for I snw only one set.

In the mnking of rakes and the like
that requires accurate measuring, it is
no end of a trial to use first one spoon
of one size, nnd then to stop and find
n larger or smaller one for the next
measurement. Which is why the spoon
I havo in mind is so uncommonly con
venient. It is n metal spoon marked
with lines showing teaspoon size, tnble

Mother Won't Let Him
Dear Cynthia i havo also come to
you for your good advice.' I have been
going with n young lady nlmost ft yoar
nnd loved her dearly. She said she loved
me until n few weeks ago sho told me
not to come to see her nny more. The
reason wns that I wnsn't drawing enough
rnlnry. That l true, ns I nm lennlng a
trndo nnd It will tnke two years bcfor
T complete It. Now this Is what I
wanted to know. I love this girl anil
know I enn win her back, but mv
mother positively forbids mn to go back
to her. I tried to sneak to her about
same but In vain. IlEAnTBIlOKEN. .
As you nro young enouprh to have to
obev In these matters you bad better let
well enough nlone. You nre not nble to
mnrry tho girl nnd she evidently does
not wnnt to wait for you till you nro
older nnd mnko money.
Defends Dancing In Public Halls
Pear C.vnthln This letter Is in answer
to elrls going to ilnnco halls.
F(rst of all I hnve met very nlco girls
who go thero nnd thev are Just ns much
respected by thele friends na the ones
who do not go. They nre not the doll
kind of girls. They don't put powder
on their faces nn In6h thick or nnv
other thing to give them tho nnpenrnnce
or the rreaks that nro seen on Chest
nut street. Thay don't think overy fel
low who speaks to them is going to
marry them, but talk to them nnd
dnnco with them nnd thoy come home
nt a decent time nnd not t or 2 In the
morning. And nny wny. 1 don't think
nnv girl should be lookod down on be
cause aho dances In public dance halls
lust to pass an enjoyable evening. And
I think dancing at homo Is very nice,
but ono does not always have a big
enough house to bring his or nor friends
around to dnnco.
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY.
Thero Is certainly no objection to
dancing In a properly conducted placo,
nnd It Is always easy to find tho proper
place to go.
Join the Boy Scouts
Pear Cynthln I nm a young boy of
fifteen. I would llko very much to
know how to mnke friends. I have Just
moved to the "Cltv of Brotherlv Love""
from a distant city and I enn't make
friends. I do not seem to understand
the people hero In the Kast, or they
don't understand me. I have gone to
church nnd I thought maybe I could
mnke friends there, but tho people don't
even seem to notice me. I do not go
to school hero because my father has
been verv sick and I had to help with
tho family expenses. He Is so very
cross, which aeems to take all the
pleasuro out of my young life, and
makes me feel so blue thnt I can't seem
to gather courage enough to go out and
make .friends.
I live In n, new section of the city and
there are no boys my age that live near
me.
Will you pleaBo publish this letter In
your columns and glvo mo a satisfac
tory answer, so I may go out and make
friends? LONESOME.
Go to Boy Scout headquartors and
Join a troop. You will mnko many
friends In this wav nnd be In tho way
of making others.
Ask Him to Go With You
Dear Cynthln I nm a constnnt reader
of your column and I have written to
you onco before. Tho advice that you
gave me was simply wonderful, and I
want to take this means of thanking
j-ou. Now another problem has conn
up. which I want you to solve. I went
w-lth a young fellow, two yenrs mv
senior, for somo time. I met his sister
n short tlmn after, nnd sb nskd me tn
como up to her hpuse. Well, I did not
llko the Iden. but she persuaded me so
long that I flnallv gave In nnd went up
there ono Saturday afternoon. Well, I
met her brother, nnd although he Is not
much older than me, ho carries himself
that way. Well, I suppose I appealed
t6 him, and ho asked to take mo out
several times, nnd I alwnys went. He
was up to see mo one night, and there
was no one nt home He told me that
not enre, but Just wants mo to marry
him, but he was too much n. mnn to
kiss me, which Is very unusual, as I
know the hoys of todnv. They will kiss
vou and all tho girls thoy take out, but
he Is different.
I had a quarrel with him, nnd now I
would not care to break friendship, ns
I am getting to love him. Now I would
appreciate, dear Cynthia. If ynu would
tell mo through vour column how to ro
galn his friendship. A friend of mine
Is prolng to give a party In n few weeks,
nnd do you think it would bo all right
for mo to ask him to pscort m" there?

THE DAILY NOVELETTE
Wanted: An Ice Cream
Ily MYIITLE E. WHITTEMOBB
MISS CHARLOTTE dropped her work
In her Inp nnd censed to rock.
Dressed In lavender negligee sho sat In
the little sowing room on tho north side
of tho houso crocheting. It was the 31st
of July, with the thermometer register
ing 94 degrees In tho shade. No won
der MlsB Charlotte was finding difficulty
In concentrating her mind on her pat
tern. "Oh. how I wish I had an Ice cream,"
sho sighed. "But It's Sadie's afternoon
off, nnd surely nobody else wnnts to go
out in this terrlblo heat." Mechanically
she resumed her work.
A moment later, hearing tho click
clack of French heels on tho Btone pave
ment, sho stepped to the front window.
"Oh, Elizabeth," she called. Aro you
going down town?"
Abruptly the trim young lady halted
nnd with a twirl of her yellow parasol
smiled engagingly.
"Yes. Miss Charlotte. Is thero some
thing I can do for you?"
Tho oldorly lady bramed with pleas
uro as sho wiped her brow with a
dnlntv lnce-cdgod handkerchief.
"Would you bo willing to bring me
some lco cream?" she asked. "A small
box, you know, of the dry packed hnrle
quln." Elizabeth smiled hor sweetest. '"I'll
bq glad to," sho said. "If you are not ln
nny hurry. I'm going over to Grnce's
to tea and can't promise when I'll be
coming home."
Miss Charlotte's faco fell, but she
bravely smllod. "Well, never mind, dear.
If you're not coming right back. But 1
do hate to telephone for them to send a
toy up with such a small ordjr."
Elizabeth repeated her offer, hut it
wan declined. S'o In all the vivacity and
gaycty of her youth she Bklpped down
the streot, while Miss Charlotte lazily
picked up her crachetlng.
"Threo open, two closed nnd threo
open," she murmured to herself, but
her hook fnlled to keep pace with her
counting. Suddenly nn idea came to
her. Laying her work In tho basket,
"I'll nak Mildred to bring It," she ex
claimed as she reached for the phone.
"Give me 43," she called. "Hello Miss
Corey? This Is Miss Charlotte. Would
you do a little errand for mo on your
way home from the bank? I'm simply
roasted up here on the hill and am dying
for nn Ice cream. Would you bring It
up when you come. The last
day of the month? Why so It Is, Mil
dred. I didn't th'nlc nbout your work
ing lato tonight That's too bad
Thank you Just the same. I'll get along
bomehow."
Resignedly sho leaned back ln her
rocking chair.
"Four open, ono closed and flvo chain
threo times," she counted. Thus tho
nfternoon dragged wearily on. The heat
seemed to become moro oppreslsvo as
tho sun traveled farther west and shot
wavering benms Into the room from be
tween the motlonlcps leaves on the trees.
Nobody was astir. Not a bluebird sang
nor a sparrow chirped Even tho dogs
seemed to prefer the shtdo of their ken
nels Gradually Miss Charlotte's fingers
began to lag and her head to nod.
Suddenly she was roused from her
rapping by a knock nt the back door.
On tho piazza stood a little boy nliout
nine vrnrs old barefooted, his faded
blue blouse turned back at the neck and
his sleeves rolled up to tho elbow. Per
spiration had washed little roads down
h's cheeks nnd several smudges could be
Plainly seen ln his nock whero soiled
hands had left their mark. But through
the dirt he smiled.
"Want to buy somo blueberries?" he
asked. "They'ro high bush and Just
picked "
Miss Charlotte was not especially fond
of blueberries, but that hot afternoon
she was very lonesome nnd her heart
went out to tho little chap who. had
worked so hard trying 'to earn a few
pennies
"Won't you come ln?" she nsked ltlnd
Iv "I can use a quart, I guoss. How
much arn they"'"
"Twenty-five "
"Vou look dreadfully hot," sho con
tinued, as she brought a small dish
"Did you havo to go far for tho ber
rifn''" .,
"eYs'm, wav down to Beaver Pond s
where tho best terries grow. Twas
somo hot walking up to town, bcllcvo
me "
Miss Charlotte went to tho pantry
nraln nnd returned with a larger dish.
"Do ynu want to let me buy what ber
ries you have " sho asked, "and I'll have
saciie put tiiem up tomorrow.
"Would ynu like to do an errand for
me down town?" sh nsked.
"Sure, what is If"
Miss Charlotte counted out the change
while she explained. "I wnnt some Ice
cream Oo tn Lane's nnd nsk for a pint
box of dry-packed harlequin. Can you
remember all that?"
"Pure," again camo tho prompt reply
as h repeated tho errand before start
ing out the door.
Not five minutes later the doorbell
rang nnd to her amazement Miss Char.
lotto snw Elizabeth
"I've brought you tho lco cream " said
tho gill. "I came homo enrly as I hated
to think of you sitting here all ajone."
"Vou dear child," Bnld Miss Char
lotte "You'll stay, of courso, and help
mn eat It, won't ynu." nnd she hastened
to set the tablo with her pretty glnss
dishes
Jim as they had begun to eat, the
doorbell rang nraln. Greatly amused
by this time, MIsh Chnrlotte ushered
In Gertrude Corey carrying a small box
in lie r hand.
"Mlldrtd told me you wanted somo lco
crtnm," nhe explained.
"Vou f'lei'i"'" exclnlmed Miss Chnr-
ii "Elizabeth has brought me borne
Ion. Won i i)u come In and foin us?
We've got lots moro than wo can oat."
So Gertrudo snt down to tho table, de
lighted to eat with her ciders.
It seemed only a moment later when
i hey wein Interrupted by a knock at the
back door.
"That's mv little blueberry boy" Ms3
Charlotte excused herself. "Ho's brought
me some crenm, too."
She laughed ns sho confronted the
boy with tho package "Well, my little
man. It looks as though you would havo
in oat all thtt crenm yourself, for 1
hnve had two boxes brought me al
ready." The child's eyes grow as big aa
saucers. "Honest?" ho asked doubt
fully "Of course. Como In nnd sec " and
nho opened tho screen door. The boy
peeped Into the dining room and was
satisfied.
"Can I tnke It homo to mn?" was his
immediate qquestlon. "Sho likes Ice

"You may do nnythlng you llko with

Another Surrender
This Is a story of a girl who took
marriapo too Uahtlv. Burbara Knight
wanted society and love afterward,
when she married Keith Grant, al
though she really loied her husband.
It wasn't until she discovered several
things about the life she was leading
that she actually began to think about
it all. Sho saw her younger sister,
Llennor, about to make a loveless
marriage for money, she saw tho shal
lowness of the friendship she had made
and she saw her husband become
interested in another woman, an in
ttoccnt friendship enough, but it was
gallina to see that some one elso could
give Keith what she had never taken
the trouble to give him.
JEITH analyzed his feelings on tho
way homo that evening. Ho was
going to mlssi ICatherlno's friendship
more 1hnn ho realized Just at present.
Ho wondered what marrlago would do
for her. Would It spoil h"r nttltudo to
ward life? Surely not thnt, for sho was
marrylner a man who liked to do the
snmo things she did. Bob Craig was a
splendid man and between them there
should be a complete understanding
rrom the beginning.
lie reached homo nnd found Barbara
In his den. Sho wore a simple little sum
mer dress and the windows were open
to the breeze that was blowing cool and
direct Into tho cosy little room.
Keith stooped to kiss her, nnd said
lightly, "I didn't know you ever camo
here. You know you hnto the furnish
ings they'ro not a hit fashionable." Tho
words were light, hut tho meaning be
hind them stung. For a moment Bar
bara's prldn rose In nrms nnd sho was
about to retort hntlv, and then remem
bering, she said softly;
"You're quite right Keith, but I came
hero today because thero Is so much of
yon In this room."
Keith sat down and looked at her
searehlnglv.
"Why Barbara sentiment from you?"
"Im nfrald so "
"Keith. I want to talk to you," she
said burvlng still moro of her pride.
'About life," she went on tremblingly.
"I've mnde such a mess of things, and
rvn been a failure ns a wife."
That brought Keith to her In nn In
stnnt, nnd he knelt nt her sldo, his nrms
about her. "That's not true."
"Yes It Is," and Barbara's voice trem
bled. "I can remember whn you nsked
me to mnrry you. from tho very first
I thought only of myself, never of you.
nnd It's been thnt wny ever slnco. I
never troubled to so If you liked tho
same things I did ; I Just expected you
'n live anyway; you know It's true,
Keith "
"It's truo that I've never had enough
of you," ho said passionately. "That's
true. It's true that we've never had a
real friendship slnco our marriage, and
even our lovo has been nandwlchcd In
botween social events."
"And so you made a friend of Kath
crino Newbery," Bnrbara said quickly.
"Barbara '."
"Dear I don't blame ynu I think
sho Is splendid. At first when I heard
of It I hated her. and then I went down
to your olllce and met her and liked her.
It wns then that I began to realize how
things were going. I knew that she
saw you nil clay, and that you liked
her enouch tn go to her home, to bo
friends with her I saw that I had no
nno to blamo but myself, nnd when 1
looked nbout mo nnd saw Leslie's mar
riage, and Elennor's outlook toward life,
I'Mt sick"
Kelth'si nrms drew her closor.
"I thought perhaps you didn't care at
nil anv more, but I was determined to
turn over a new leaf so I refused to
tako tho Challoner house."
"The Challoner house 1" Keith drew
away to stnro nt her.
"Yos. I knew that If wo went up
there things would go on Just as they
always have, that wo would be drawn
Into tho whirl without being able to help
ourselves."
"Barbara, sweetheart, listen to me n
mlnuto, and believe mo. I llko Kather
Ine Newbery, sho Is a splendid girl, but
I lovo you! Tills afternoon Katherlne
told me of her engagement tn a news
paperman and I shall miss her friend
ship, that's all "
"But you needn't mlss her friendship,"
Barbara Interrupted quickly. Sho was
silent a moment nnd then she said shy
ly. "Why can't I bo Invited to the
Thursday nights?"
"Barbara Grant, what do you know
about the Thursday nights?"
"I know all about them, and I was
hoping thnt perhaps In tho fnll when we
come back, Katherlne Newbery inleht
like another member." "u
And sho burled her head on Keith's
shoulder,

The Wild Cnndy Factory
TTUM-M-M-M! Buz-z-z-z! Hum-m-mt
J"L Buz-z-z I
Peggy, Billy and Toddlo Pupklns lis
tened wonderlngly to tho murmur from
tho tree thnt Lonesome Bear said wm
a wild candy factory. The hum und th
buzz sounded familiar to Peggy anr
Billy even though thay never before h4
heard of a wild cnndy factory in tha
woods. ,
While they were listening, Toddle Pup.
kins suddenly gave a sharp yelp, and
leaped bajkwards, tumbling head over
heels. And no wonder ho had yelped
and Jumped, for a bee had lighted on his
nose, and If he hadn't moved as fait as
he did, he would have been stung, as
It wns be shook tho bee off Just In time.
Toddle's Jump was so funny that
Peggy and Billy started to laugh, But,
right In tho midst of their laughter Blll
gave a yell, and he, too, went tumbllm
backward. A bee had lighted on hli
hand and had stung him beforo he could
brush it off. Billy was still rolling on
the round, when Peggy gave a shriek
and dashed away with a big bee buiiln
around her head.
Lonesome Bear Bat down and liujhed.
"Waw, waw, waw! Now you know who
the wild candy makers arc I" he roared.
"Oh, they nro bees and the wild candy
factory is a bee tree. Why didn't you
tell us beforo I got stung," yelled Billy,
running to tho bank of a nearby creek
and putting mud on the plnco where the
beo had used Its stinger. That was tha
best thing that Billy could havo done,
as the mud quickly soothed the smart
ing of the sting.
"If vou aro nfrnld of gctlng stun?
you d better stny away while I get tha
wild candy 1" laughed Lonesome Bear.
Ho didn't need to give a second warning
for Peggy and Toddle Tupklns were al
ready running to Join Billy at a safe
distance fmm the treo.
Lonesome Bear didn't nppenr to be anjr
moro nfrald of the bees than ho h'.d been
"f the nnts on which ho had fe.i'?d
earlier In tho hunting trip. Perhapj
that was because his fur was so thlcK
the stings of tho bees could not reach
through It. At nny rate he didn't pa
the slightest attention to tho angry bee
gunrds thnt buzzed nbout him. but went
right to work forcing a way Into the
wild cnndy fnctory.
Peggy, Billy nnd Toddlo Pupklni
couldn't sea any opening In the tree,
but Lonesomo Bear found a sonall crac'K
In the bark. Through this tho bees wer
pouring out to fight him. Lonesome
Bear went nt that crack with claws
and fangs and ln a very short time M
had torn away a hole large enough to
get his paw through. When he got hu
paw Insldo he pulled out great niajse
of honeycomb dripping with honey, rnu
ho carried away through the woods.
The bees buzzed nngrlly around mm
for a tlm?, but when thoy found the)'
could not harm him, nor save tneir
honey, they went back to their tree ana
left him nlone. Then Lonesome Bear
