"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

SATURDAY EVENING,
noring her pica: and tlie click of the
receiver hung upon its hook was the
only reply to Helen's frantic "Hello,
hello!"
"Hello," said Central, cOolly. "Wait
ing?"
"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.

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.

toast by leading hotels. One chicken
is split in half and supplies two guests.
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.
