TELEGRAPH If Girls Are Going to Take the Plunge Into the Pool of Matrimony, They Must Equip Themselves to Swim Even Under Difficult Cir cumstances By Mrs. Wilson Wood row It is my privilege to write of tilings that are real and vital in our lives— tilings that eome home to all of us. Of course, I can only look at a question from my own angle, and it may not l)o yours. Yours may be the better and more illuminating. It is no fun throwing out words into cold, empty space. I want a response. I want to find out what we all think, and why we are thinking of. Won't you write and tell me where you agree with me, and where you dif fer, and why? MRS. WILSON WOQDROW. Today the art, or the science, or the business of home-making is about as complicated as intensive farming. Preparedness is the watchword of the hour; not merely as regards mili tary matters on that more intimate batUelield, the home. Why muddle along in anything? If you girls have chosen the pro fession of marriage and home-mak ing, why take the plunge, hoping that the water is not very deep and that by some miracle you may be able to keep your head above the surface? Why not, before you dive into that untried pool, equip yourself to swim even under difficult circumstances? Romance is a very beautiful and wonderful thing, but it's merely the jam on your bread and butter. Just jam without bread and butter Is a duet which not even a child with a sweet tooth would care to contem plate. Vou, let us say, are a girl who has no longing for economic inde pendence or any other kind. And, be lieve me, you have just as much right to your tastes and inclinations as the Kirl who feels that she must be out in the world earning her own money and spending it in her own fashion. But, if you have chosen home-mak ing as your job in life, for heaven's t-'ake make a success of it! Workers' Defliciency Depends on Quality of Food Self-interest, if nothing else, should prompt you to do so. Your material comfort is dependent on your hus band's earning capafclty. Your hus band's earning capacity is very largely dependent on his health and well-be ing. Workers build their mornings on their breakfast; the efficiency and en thusiasm and concentration we bring to the day depends mainly on the quality of our eggs and coffee. The good, old days of leaving a few orders with the maid, and re turning to the sofa and the last new novel, or starting out on a shopping expedition are gone. The maid is the vanishing lady of the present. The munitions factor ies have swallowed her up. And when she no longer makes shells some other big industry will engulf her; and what is left of her order, the remnant of a once great army, will work in five or six hour shifts, two or three a day, and no one but plutocrafts can afford ser vants. The day is not far distant —but that phase is an absurdity In these speed up times. To-morrow, my sisters, a maid will be as much a symbol of wild extravagance as peaches in Decem ber or an aigrette. A young fellow told me not long ago that he had solved the problem of the high cost of living. He and three other young men had rented and furnished an apartment. Each paid so much a week into a general fund for rent, food, etc. Each got his own breakfast, the earliest riser mak- BROKEN DOWN 7 IN HEALTH Woman Tells How $5 Worth of Pinkham's Compound Made Her Well.

When they had gone to their office a woman came in and made the beds and cleaned up. Their luncheons they took near their places of business, and they returned to their apartment for dinner. Each in turn did the marketing for a week and cooked the evenin gmeal, while one of the others, also in turn, looked after the table. It worked beautifully. They all learned how to cook and they were also congenial friends, never in terfering with each other. There, my dear girls, that is what you are up against. That young man may meet you to-morrow and may fall so desperately in love with you that he is willing to give up his happy, unfettered home for you and start an onther one. Personally I should feel inclined to side-step an offer from any such competent youth. He knows too much. Your only safety lies in going him one better, in being a bet ter cook than he is and in giving him a more cheerful and attractive home than the one he has left. It Is of course difficult for you to realize that your beauty and charm, great as they are, very soon become commonplaces to a mere husband. The lure of your dazzling eyes, Rosalind, Is temporary, but the lure of good cooking and of comfort in the home is eternal. For several years of my life I was a wanderer in the waste places. I be came in that time fully initiated into the horrors of average An.vrican cook ing. That soggy, fried meat! Those watery, tasteless vegetavles! Let us not mention the bread. I learned the wisdom acquired un der such circumstances, and lived on boiled eggs and baked potatoes and things that could be cooked in their own shells and skins, unless it was possible for me to prepare my food myself. It is often stated that many men become drunkards because their wives feed them day after day meals so wretchedly cooked and so lacking in nutritive value that they take to liquor to stop the ceaseless craving of their starved stomachs. Why bad cooking is not a penitentiary offense, or at least a cause for divorce, I don't un derstand. I have always noticed that most of the lofty, misunderstood feminine souls are miserable housekeepers. Idea Obtained From Chance Iteinark I'ut to Work The other day I overheard a " 'bus talker" remark in speaking of two sisters; "Jessie is a bright, cultured little woman, but Susan, let me tell you, is a mighty efficient housekeep er." I wanted to turn around and thank him and offer him 10 per cent, of what I am paid for this article; for he had given me an idea. I imme diately put it to work. In a casual way, and trusting to luck they would not seefever ride to C'alabasas Inn and there meet Galo Morgan with Deaf Sandusky and Sassoon, gunmen and retainers of the Morgan clan. Morgan demands the dis charge of a stage driver and De Spain re fuses. De Spain meets Nan but falls to overcome her aversion to him. CHAPTER IV—Sassoon knifes Elpaso, the Btage driver, and escapes to Morgan's gap, the stronghold of the Morgans. De Spain. Lefever and Scott go In alter him, and De Spain brings out Sasson alone. CHAPTER V—He meets Nan, who de lays him until nearly overtaken by the Morgans, but lands his captive In Jail. CHAPTER VI. Maintaining n Reputation. The abduction of Sassoon, which sl(f nalized De Spain's entry Into the stage line management, created a sensation akin to the exploding of a bomb under the range. The whole mountain coun try, which concentrates, sensibly, on but one topic at a time, talked for a week of nothing else. Experienced men in the high country —men of that class who, wherevei found, are old in the ways of the world, and not promptly moved by new 01 youthful adventure—dismissed the in cident. after hearing the details, with the comment or the conclusion that there would hardly be for De Spain more than one additional chapter to the story, and that this would be a short one. The most active Morgans— Gale, Duke and the easy-going Satter lee —were indeed wrought to the keen- Vt pitch of revengeful anger. It was an overwhelming insolent invasion— and worst of all, n successful invasion, by one who had nothing but cool impu dence, not even a budding reputation to justify his assault on the lifelong prestige of the gap clan. De Spain himself, somewhat sur prised at the storm he had kicked up, heeded the counsel of Scott, and while the acute stage of the resentment raged along the trail, he ran down for n few days to Medicine Bend to buy horses. Both Gale and Duke Morgan proclaimed, in certain public places in Sleepy Cat, their intention of shooting De Spain on sight; and as a climax to all the excitement of the week follow lng his capture, the slippery Sassooi. broke jail and, after a brief Interval, appeared at large In Calabasas. This feat of the Morgan satellite made a loud laugh at De Spnln's ex pense. It mitigated somewhat the hu miliation of Sassoon's friends, but It in no wise diminished their expressed resolve tp jwnlsh De IHARRISBUFIG TELEGRAPH Leletei'i uu uiijuug the stage men, kept close to the drift of public sentiment, decided after De Spalns' return to Sleepy Cat that the stage-line authorities had gained noth ing by Sassopn's capture. "We ought to have thought of It be fore, Henry," he said frankly one night In Jeffries' oflice, "but we didn't think." "Meaning just what, John?" de manded De Spain without real inter est. "Meaning, that in this country you can't begin on a play like pulling Sas soon out from under his friends' noses without keeping up the pace—without a second and third act. You dragged Sassoon by his hair out of the gap; good. You surprised everybody; good. But you can't very well stop at that, Henry. Such a feat by itself doesn't insure a permanent reputation, Henry. ,It Is, so to say, merely a 'demand' repu tation —one that men reserve the right to recall at any moment. And the worst of it is. if they ev< to get the folks here acquainted with your ability, without taking unneces sary chances. You see, people are not now asking questions of one another} they are asking them of themselves. Who and what Is this newcdmer—an accident or a genuine arrival? A com mon squib or a real explosion? Don't get excited," he added, In an effort to sooth De Spain's obvious irritation "You have the idea, Henry. It's timt to show yourself." "I can't very well do business her without showing myself," retorted D Spain. "But it is a thing to be managed,' persisted Lefever. "Now, suppose since the topic Is up—we 'show* in Main street for a while." "Suppose we do," echoed De Spaic ungraciously. "That will crack the debut ice. Wt will call at Harry Tenison's hotel, anc then go to his new rooms—go right t< society headquarters first —that's mj theory of doing it. If anybody hat any shooting in mind, Tenison's is e quiet and orderly place. And If a man declines to eat anybo'dy up at Tenison's, we put him down, Henry, as not ravenously hungry." "One man T would like to see is thai sheriff, Druel, who let Sassoon get out." "Ready to Interview him now?" "I've got some telegrams to answer." , "Those will keep. The Morgans are In town. We'll start out and find some body." It was wet and sloppy outside, but Lefever was indifferent to the rain, and De Spain thought It would be un dignified to complain of it. When, followed by Lefever, he walked into the lobby of Tenison's hotel a few moments later the office was empty. Nevertheless, the news of the appearance of Sassoon's captor spread. The two sauntered into the billiard hail, which occupied a deep room adjoining the office and opened with inrge plate-glass windows on Main street. Every table was in use. A fringe of spectators in the chairs, os tensibly watching the pool games, turned their eyes toward De Spain— those that recognized him distinguish ing him by nods and whispers to oth ers. Among several groups of men stand ing before the long bar, one party of four near the front end likewise en gaged the Interest of those keener loaf ers who were capable of foreseeing situations. men, Satterlee Mor gan, the cattleman; Bull "Page, one of his cowboys; Sheriff Druel, and Judge Druel, his brother, had been drinking together. They did not see Lefever and his companion as the two came in through the rear lobby door. But Le fever, on catching sight of them, wel comed his opportunity. Walking di rectly forward, he laid his hand OD Satt Morgan's shoulder. As the cat tleman turned, Lefever, genially grasp ing his hand, introduced De Spain to each of the Dartv in turn.

Miss Fairfax Answers Queries By BEATRICE FAIRFAX KEEP VOI R FRIENDS, TOO Dear Mtss Fairfax: For a year I have been going about with a young man, who pretends to be very fond of me, evjn I am the only girl with influence ov'er him. I in turn have learned to love him, although 1 have never shown it by my actions. I even gave up other friends who were calling for him. Re cently he has mentioned calling upon a girl out of town. Do you think this is fair to me? Should I let this go un noticed, or should I ask him if he thinks it is fair? HELEN R. I think you blundered In giving up all your other friends. I really feel that unless a man and girl are formal ly engaged it is folly for them to cut off from other interests and to grow too dependent on each other. I think ! it would be wisest to do nothing, but j define the situation, why not ask your if you have that feminine desire to friend frankly If he does not agree that It would be sensible for each of you to see a little bit of other people? I His attitude might make a good deal \ that is now uncertain clear to you. SUSPECT ARRESTED IK CHESTER Chester, Pa., April 9.

But before Janet could see the girl alone, Karen had crammed the envelope into her pocket and had run off with a hasty goodby. And then, besides, something hap pened that same evening to Janet that made her forget the affairs of other people in the absorbing Interest of her own. For a time after Karen left Janet was quiet. Jarvis noticed it, and called to her from the bedroom. "What are you so quiet about, sweetheart ;this is the time you ought to be happy. Let's go out somewhere and celebrate." Janet loved their joint celebrations better than anything elese in tho world. Whenever either of them had a particularly good piece of luck, or made extra money of any kind, it was a signal for a celebration which meant dinner out and an evening spent to gether at the theater and sometimes even a week-end at some sleepy little place in the country. The first time that they had gone on a celebration since their marriage, Janet had spoken of It enthusiastically when she and Jarvis had had dinner at home one evening. But the lesson that she had learned had taught her never to tell things again unless she could be sure of the way they would be taken. Mrs. Carew had thrown back her aristocratic head and had laughed merrily. "Janet, you amuse me so much," she had laughed. "Imagine having any fun in going out of town and leaving a comfortable living quarter even if it is up a mile of frightful stairs and be ing uncomfortable for the fun of the thing." "But it is fun," Janet had protested. "It's the kind of fun we like." And then she had met Jarvis's eyes and they were tender with memories. They made her forget everything else ] for the time being, but she never spokm of their good times again. "Oh, a celebration, Jarvis," she ex claimed enthusiastically. "What are we going to do?" "Well, first, we'll go to dinner, and then we'll do anything we happen to want to. Don't plan for anything till j the time comes." ! This suggestion immediately claim-" ed Janet's, thoughts to the exclusion of everything else and she began to dress for the evening hurriedly, determined to look as "stunning" as possible. Be fore Janet had been married she had taken her looks more as a matter of course. But now, that she had Jarvis, everything was changed. The thought that Jarvis. noticed any attention paid to her, made her more conscious of how she looked. She cared about look ing well for Jarvis and being noticed by other men when she belonged lo just one, more than she ever had when she could pick and choose. The restaurant where they went wai a place they often frequented. It lacked the formality of most places, but there was a pleasant hum of good fellowship and a memory of the same faces seen time and again, that spoko well for the place; people went thero 110 eat good food, rather than to be j seen and admired. When they were seated at the table ! and Jarvis had ordered dinner, Janet j leaned forward quickly and whispered: "Don't look now, Jarvis, but there i is a man two tables from here on your I right who keeps staring and staring, j Perhaps you know him, he is very j good looking." | "Why, said Jarvis, flushing a little j as he surreptitiously stole a glance be hind him and bowed cordially, "it's the fellow I met this afternoon. You must meet him. I'll go over and get him." But there was no need of that, for the man had quickly risen and was •now coming over to them. He was a man of about forty, with a well groom ed appearance rather than a hand some face. He was dressed well, and I looked prosperous, and he acknowl j edged the introduction to Janet with a rather overdone bow. Janet, who j very quickly estimated people, decided ] that he was a little bit 100 eager to please, but he sat down at their table and began to talk so interestingly that ' she quite forgot the slightly unpleas ant feeling that he had created. "Mr. More says that you are on 'The Children's Hour,' he said to Janet. "Yes. I have a department for about | a month now," Janet returned eagerly. And she sketched briefly her work and her hours. "Of course T am virtually still with The Chronicle," she finished, "but I ani getting more money than my position down there warrants. It's a temporary arrangement while - one of the editors is away." "Your husband Is doing some sketches of Miss Alden," the man went on. "I like his work very well, per haps we could arrange for something for our magazine. It would be rather nice if you and he could collaborate, Mrs. More." "Oh, Jarvis. how splendid," breath ed Janet, turning toward him. "Praise from you, Mr. Lowry, means a great deal." And then she stopped, for Jar vis looked unresponsive. Janet felt suddenly cold and spiritless. What had happened to make Jarvis look like that when only a short time ago he had been so anxlxous to have her meet this stranger?"
