6 \fr2o(Y)en T^rJnreftes "Their Married Life Copyright by international News Service I - J "AVhere would be a good place to call up Warren?" said Helen to Louise as they walked slowly along Fifth avenue. It was one of those cold blus tery days when Winter seems to have actually arrived and Helen was mud dled up in the fur collar of her suit. Louise had a very handsome set of red fox and Helen could not help being the least bit envious. She had wanted a good set of furs for ages. The warm colors of the fox fur seemed to blend beautifully with Louise's olive skin and dark prettiness. How well she (Helen) would look in that soft shade of bluish gray that so many of the women were wearing, ssfcc was sorry now that she had had her neckpiece cut up Into cuffs and a collar for her suit. This year fur on suits was given away and she hadn't an excuse in the world to get new furs. Helen and Louise had been discuss ing the funeral which had taken place over a week ago, and Helen, sighing, had remarked how aorry she was for Warren, and then had come some question about calling him up. "He promised to be home for an early dinner." she explained, "and then we are going over to the Stevenses for a chat. 1 don't suppose Warren will feel like playing cards, although there isn't u reason in the world why we shouldn't play. I'm glad Warren was so sensible about my going into mourning. After all, Louise, that custom is certainly dying out, and I am glad of It." "So am I," said Ix>uise; "I don't want any one to go into mourning for me. Shall we go in here. Helen?" —as they passed the Giltdorf. And Helen followed Louise up the steps. She went into the telephone booth, and gave the number of Warren's office. Louise put her head in the door and said gayly: "I'll wait for you at the magazine place. I want to see if this month's Scroll is out. Are you read ing Frances' Knowles' 'Nimrod'?" "Of course 1 am; isn't It great? Oh, liello operator, can't you get that number?" Louise turned laughingly away and Helen turned back to the telephone, t'entral was a terrible while getting that number. Warren couldn't be out either; he was never out at this time of the day." Warren Answers Query Over Phone "They don't answer," satd Central tartly. "But they must answer," said Helen crossly, "some one must be there. Will you try again, please?" Again she waited while the wire clicked and snapped and finally war ren's voice said "Hello," as Helen thought cautiously. "Hello, dear, whatever was the mat ter iliat you didn't answer before? <'entral has been trying to get you for ages. Yes, I am downtown with l,ouise. but I am going right home now. You ought to be startirtg soon, dear. Kemember dinner at six; it's after five now." "Don't wait for me," said Warren again in that queer tone of voice. "Don't wait for you—of course I'll Watt for you. Can't you get home as early as you expected?" "No; that's it." volunteered War ren as though relieved. "Warren Curtis, what on earth is the matter with you?" said Helen, ex asperated. "Yes, all right, good-by," came from Warren. "Good-by!" exclaimed Helen, be wildered. "Wait, don't ring off," said 1 lelen, a suspicion of tears in her voice. What could be the matter with Warren? He certainly was acting strangely. "Good-by," said Warren, again ig PeflTgift to the whole Happie Family |j Father's quandary as to the gift which will make the whole family happy is easily solved.

"No, never mind," said Helen, hang ing up and pushing the door open. She walked tround and found Louise with two copies of the Scroll in her hand. "I bought one for you, too," she ex plained. "Whatever is the matter, Hilen ?" "Come on, let's go out; we can walk over to the subway," and Helen led the way out. "Warren acted so strangely that I almost believe he has been drinking," she said, a sob rising in her throat and choking her. "Now Helen." remonstrated Louise, "you know better than that." "Or else something else has happen ed. Oh, Louise, you don't think -*lt could be that girl again?" "Who? Miss Evans? What non sense! Of course not. Don't let your self get so worked up over a tritle, Helen." Explanations Tliat l'ail to Explain But Helen refused to be comforted and by the time she had left Louise and reached her own apartment she was ready for tears. Warren had done enough to her lately, but this certainly was the limit of endurance. To have him speak to her that way over the telephone, humiliate her before the operator. She was ecrtain that some thing out of the ordinary had happen ed. Just then the telephone rang and she waited for Mary to answer it. "It's for you, Mrs. Curtis," said Mary coming to the door. "Who is it, do you know?" said Helen. This was such an unusual question that Mary stared. "It's Mr. Curtis, ma'am." "Tell him I haven't come in yet." Again Mary looked her astonish ment. "Go .on, do as I say," said Helen sharply, and then as Mary hurried to do as she was told, she called: "Never mind. Mary, I'll come." "Hello!" came in Warren's usual brisk manner. "Say, what on earth was the matter w'th you before?" "With me?" said Helen, "yes, you may well ask that question. If you called up to explain, you can ring off, because I don't wish to hear any thing." "Well, if you're not unreasonable!" protested Warren indignantly. "How could I help answering you as I did? The boss was in here and had asked me up to dinner. Could I tell you how sorrow I was that 1 couldn't get home, and have him say that any other time would do just as well? That would do just as well? That would be a hot state of affairs, now wouldn't it?" "I think you could have explained. You spoiled my whole evening, and then expect me to be perfectly reason able about it." "Of course I expect you to be rea sonable. I don't have a chance to get In with the big boss every day. Don't you understand, Helen?" As a general rule, Helen would have considered Warren's explanation en tirely satisfactory, but she had allowed herself to get nervously worked up. "No. I don't," she said pettishly. And then again heard the click of the receiver as Warren, with a smothered expletive, hung up. Helen burst into tears. She was right. She felt that she was right and Warren had treated her abominable. (Another incident in this interest ing story will appear here soon.)

B». / HARRISBT7RG TELEGRAPH I POULTRYinem Milk Feeding Poultry in Crates Sure Way to Large Profits ' HOUDANS COPYRIGHT. 1915. The Houdan is the most extensively bred fowl in France, where it origi nated. In America it has been popu lar since Its introduction more than fifty years ago. Aside from the fact that it is a handsome-looking fowl with Its black plumage mottled with white, the Hou dan is a wonderful utility breed. The hens are heavy layers of large white eggs. They are particularly de sirable for the backyard flock because of their docility and because they thrive in confinement. They are hardy and good foragers so that they may be left to rough it on the farm. Fattening For Market by New Method Takes Fourteen Days; Does Not Require Much Skill Good Eating Qualities Make Milk-Feds Easy Sellers; Bring Higher Prices By Frank C. Hare Poultry Husbandman, Clemson Col lege, South Carolina. COPYRIGHT, 1915. Because of tlie bin- money in fatten ing poultry by the mtlk-l'eeding method, anil because It requires less experience and skill than other branches of tlie poultry industry, many amateurs are taking up this depart ment of tlie business exclusively. In this article, I*rofessor Hare tells how to l>e successful in lliis work and gives some valuable suggestions on the prc|Mirutiou of birds for market. WITHIN the last few years there has been evolved a new depart ment in the poultry industry which has become a national factor in the commercial poultry world. This new department Is the milk feeding of chickens in crates. Throughout the country there are hundreds of plants where anywhere from a dozen to 40,- 000 chickens are fattened by this scien tific method at one time. A livelier demand, a greater con sumption, a better price and cus tomers fully satisfied are the results of this novel rvstem of finishing chick ens for market. It marks the differ ence between a green and a finished product, between the product the crit ical buyer wants and what he has to accept because there is nothing better at hand. Flesli Is Tender and Juicy Only those who have eaten a prime milk-fed chicken, properly prepared for the table, understand the super iority of its flesh to that of the well fed chicken allowed free range. In the case of the milk-fed the muscular tissues have been so softened by close confinement that a thick portion of cooked meat' can be severed with the fork, whereas the activity of the chicken on tlie range maintains the toughness and natural resistance of its muscles. Globules of fat are dis tributed through the lean meat of every portion of the body of the milk fed. giving a delicious juiciness and flavor when cooked that is rarely found In any other fowl. Milk-feedii.g chickens is a simple undertaking that can be successfully conducted by anyone. It is a money making business, because the chickens are not permitted to exercise and waste their food, and there should be no loss from disease. There are only four requisites: A supply of fattening crates in which the chickens are confined, suitable chickens for feeding, a mixture of ground meal and a quantity of butter milk or well-soured skimmilk. Construction of Feeding Crates Fattening crates are generally made about 10 feet long, 18 inches wide and 22 inches high, and set on legs about 30 inches above the ground. Each crate Is divided into four compart ments to prevent the chickens from walking from end to end. The floor is covered with wire netting so that the droppings fall to the ground, keep ing the crates sanitary. This wire netting floor will not affect the feet of the birds. The back ends and divi sions are also covered with wire net ting. The front of the crate Is covered with narrow laths nailed on vertically to provide sufficient divisions for all the chickens to eat at once from the V-shaped trough at the front of the crate. This feeding trough rests on notched supports nailed to the ends of the crate, and should be remov able. The roof should project far enough over the crate to protect the chickens from rain. Place the crates outdoors in any sheltered location, under some trees or in an open shed. The chickens are confined closely and require abundant ventilation. One of these crates 10 feet long will accommodate 60 pounds of chickens —15 pounds to each com partment. The most suitable chickens to milk feed are young Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons and Wyandottes. Crossbred and common ! or mongrel chickens fatten satisfac torily. Leghorn and other light-breed cockerels are excellent for making fries and should be finished when they weigh 12 ounces each. They do not milk-feed profitably when confined at an older age. Chickens of any breed weighing from three-quarters to one pound each can be made into milk-fed fries as plump and tender as quail. When killed and plucked after the feeding tiruiiofiil thuV u/ftigh ft rnnrifl p The males weigh from seven to eight pounds and the females six pounds. For the average table this is a good sized fowl. Their skin is thin and the flesh is fine grained. It is full of breast and the bones are small. The legs are mottled white and black and harmonize with the plum age. There are five toes on each foot instead of four. The skull of the Hou don. too, differs from that of other varieties in that it '.'.as a "bump" on the top from which the crest grows. In newly hatched chicks this is par ticularly noticeable. In addition to their crest the full grown birds have a V-shaped comb.

The cost of each portion is from sev enty-five cents to one dollar. Chickens of one and one-half to four pounds I weight at the commencement of the feeding make delicious broilers and ! roasters. Heavier Spring chickens can be milk-fed but not as profitably. There is small gain in feeding matured I fowls, except that which results from I the improvement of the quality of the flesh due to the confinement. Unless the fqwls are of poor flesh, prior to the feeding, there is almost no gain in weight. Making a Success of the Squab Business Mr. William E.
