Before 1 knew it, without intending it. without meaning it. X was em barked on one of those flirtations that almost invariably end in disaster, and prove the truth of the old adage that there Is 'no fool like an old fool.' "Let me do the woman the Justice to say that she, no more than 1, in tended any real harm. We really at tracted each other because wo were both experts at the love game, and in each other found foemen worthy of our steel. It was a match of wits in stead of hearts, of fencing instead of feeling. "But we played the game accord ing to Hoyle. There were flowers, and candy, and rides, and little din ners in quiet restaurants, and strolls through the park at night, and notes sadly sweet, breathing of a hopeless passion. And all, I swear it, mean ing nothing from either her or me. "In my heart I was never untrue to mv wife". I knew this other woman for the foolish, vain, frivolous little creature that she was. and in the very moment that I was entreating her to go out to dinner with me, or auto mobile with me, I was thinking in the back of my heart, and thanking God for it. that my wife was not of that sort, and that no man on earth could tempt her to treat me as I was induc ing this other woman to treat her husband. Also, incredible as It sounds, by the very froth of this flirtation I measured the depth of my love for my wife. "I never intended, of .course, that my wife should know of this silly affair, but one day she found in my pocket a letter from the woman full of fond and spurious endearments, and making an appointment for a rendezvous that was really innocent, but that damned me in her eyes. I tried to explain to her that I had only been amusing myself, and that I was not in love with the other woman, or she with me, but her loyalty was not of that kind of faithfulness. Women love altogether, or not at all. They are true as steel or false as perdition and that is why they never can com prehend how a man may love and honor his wife in his inmost soul, and still let his fancy occasionally wander. "And so my wife did. as doubtless I should have done under the same circumstances. She left me, and I lost the steady sun of love for a light of love." vegetables, as potatoes or onions: Asparagus, from 15 to 20 minutes: string beans, 2 hours; young beets, 45 fto 60 minutes: cabbage. 30 to 15; I carrots. 45 to 60: cauliflower. 30 to 45: celery. 30 to 45: green corn, 5 to !S>: macaroni. 20 to-30; onions. 80 to 40: oyster plant, 30 to 60; parsnips, jSo to 45; peas. 15 to 20: potatoes, : 20 to 30; spinach, 20 to 30; squash.

T\\ I I,Kj II I' SLKEI' SENSATION* In the January Woman's Home Companion appears an authoritative article about the new twilight sleep about which so much has been writ ten by physicians and others. Follow ing is a paragraph taken from the j article in which a physician describes exactly how the treatment affects tho I patient: I "The patient is drowsy and sleeps i ! lightly between her pains. When a [pain occurs, she manifests her sulfer -1 ing to a greater or less degree, and 1 again dozes. Jtut consciousness is not j entirely lost. She responds somewhat I tardily to duestions. and usually obeys |commands. Kronig lays great stress j upon maintaining a condition of semi- : unconsciousness, wherein the pains ' though apparently perceived, arc nev-' ertheless immediately forgotten. The I patient perceives n pain but does not) inpperceive it: in other words, she does j I not appreciate it. At any rate, on awakening, she has no recollection of j anything that has occurred. The pa- i tient may complain that the treatment I is not working and roundly abuse those j in charge, yet half an hour after the j birth have absolutely no recollection of j her pains or of the coming of her baby."

The secret of boiling rice is to put I it into plenty of boiling water at the start. Always shrink and set the color fabric of children's dresses before making them up.

It is true that nature and a woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E.
