BY MR)S. WILSON WOODKOW
No man is a hero to his valet, runs
the old saying: and fewer still are
lieroes to their -wives.
But to the woman who is closely
associated with him in his business
—his private secretary, confidential
clerk, or cashier —a man is seldom
less than a demi-god. That is, unless
he is really a demi-god. and even
some dcmi-gods get the favorable
rating.
'He is simply wonderful.'' this
woman will tell you in hushed, wor
shipful tones. "No other man in the
world could accomplish what he is
doing."
Or if she inclines more to the
vernacular: "Say. if you're looking
for the real stuff, you've got to hand
it to my boss. He's a go-getter from
Uo-getterville. believe me!"
And there's a reason for it.
The man at business is the man
in action. He is the modern expres
sion of the eternal masculine —the
stalker and slayer, a lineal descend
ant of that Nimrod, son of Cash, who
was a mighty hunter before the
l.ord.
His wife sees him only when he
returns at night to the family lodge,
spent and wearied by the efforts he
has put forth, all the edge of his en
thusiasm dulled. His step is lag
sard and his speech slow, if the
hunting has been good, he dumps
down his spoil at the door and gives
himself over to rest and relaxation.
If on the other hand things have
gone badly with him, he is apt to be
crabed and fault-finding.
He may endeavor to show an in
terest in the affairs of the house
hold. but it'is perfunctory, tepid at
the best, things so much more vital
and absorbing have been occupying
his attention. And equally his wife
.voon begins to yawn if he starts to
tell what he has been doing. There
is little excitement for her in the
bare, prosaic recital of his adven
tures after she has learned the
Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hatr
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than the most expen
sive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly Injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
tcaspoonfuls will make an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out eas
ily and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
onough to last everyone in the fam
ily for months.

! amount and quality of the game he
I has brought in.
But the woman who accompanies
I him on the hunt and acts as his
quiver-bearer has a different exper
' ience. She sees him eager, alert,
I keyed up to a supreme passion. She
1 watches him lay his snares and plan
the subtle ruses by which he hopes
to overmatch some cunning adver
sary. She crouches with bated
breath as he engages in combat with
some ponderous, grizzly or snal'ling
mountain lion, and thrills with tri
umph as he emerges a victor. She
comprehends and is able to sym
pathize with his defeats and disap
pointments.
In a word, she actually sees his
i performance, with all its hazards
! and dangers, whereas the wife only
hears a tired man's story of it aft
-ler all the hazard and danger are
; over.
; And as an example of the differ
' ent impressions created by seeing
lor hearing about a thing 1 am re
\ minded of a play which was pro
duced on Broadway some years ago
and the plot of which turned upon
a murder committed some years pre
vious to the real action of the
story.
As originally presented, this mur
der was simply described in a con
versation during the first act, and
the play promptly proved a failure,
j Then some one suggested that a pro
logue be added, allowing the audi
! ence to see the actual commission
iof the crime. Immediately the tide
j turned and the piece scored a tre
| mendous success.
It is only the woman who sees a
I man in action that can rate him at
j his true worth. She is able to real
' ize the odds against which he is
battling, the keen mental processes
I he brings to bear upon his prob
lems, all the give-and-take of the
.contest: and she admires him. as
' woman from time immemorial has
i admired the fighting qualities of
| man.
Bernard Shaw, with his unerring
!scent for human foibles, has drawn
very clearly this contrast between
the attitudes of the wife and the
' private secretary in his "Candida."
The reader there beholding the hus
band through the eyes of Candida
sees him as a prating windbag, a

; secretary, regarded him as some- |
; thing _ approaching the sublime.
And, perhaps. Prossy had as much '
reason for her opinion as Candida
had for hers: since we all are very j
apt to show to another person the
side of our characters which that j
person brings out.
j Shaw makes his Prossy in love
i with the husband, but that does not i
necessarily follow. More often than j
j not, indeed, the facts are directly
the reverse. It is the wife who sees

woman who sees only his virtues,

CHAPTER XXXVn
Copyright. 1918, Star Co.
Milton Van Saun declined to come
I in when the quartet reached the Liiv
| ingstone house on their return from
| the Philharmonic concert.
"Dora says she is sleepy," he re
j marked. "Thefefore, I think it's best
I for me to let her go to bed at once."
"Sensible boy!" Dora approved.
"Let Oscar drive you around
j home, Milton," Mrs. Livingstone
i advised.
"Thanks. I will." the young man
J agreed. Then, when the front door
! was opened by the butler, he said
j good night and ran lightly down the
steps.
He had shaken hands with Cyn
! thia, as he had with Mrs. Living
stone, in a casual way, not with the
j lingering pressure to which the girl
had become accustomed. He and
I her aunt had had a little low-voiced
( talk coming down the aisle of Car-
I negie Hall. What had she said to
jhim? No matter! Cynthia was en
! gaged to another man.
I The lower floor was dark except
for the lights in the hall. Mrs. Liv
ini?stone and the girls went directly
upstairs.
"Dad has a light in his den,"
Dora announced as they reached the
first landing. "I wonder if Gerald
is in there with him," she added
hopefully.
Pushing the door open she glanced
I in. "Oh, bother!" she regretted.
| "Gerald has gone!"
Her mother spoke sharply. "Dor! j
1 wish you would not talk in that '
way of Mr. Stewart. He is nothing
to you, and you are as little to him. I
Such seeming admiration on your j
part is in wretched taste."
Cynthia waited to hear no more, i
but hurried on into her own room
and closed the door.
Throwing off her evening cloak,
she sank down into a big chair, and,
laying her head wearily back, closed
her eyes. She was in a tangled
mesh of circumstances that tired
ami puzzled her. Mrs. Livingstone's
reproof to her daughter was certain
ly undeserved. It was plain that
Dora liked Gerald—but surely she
had a right to like the friend of the
man to whom she was engaged.
Pore Conies In
How cold Milton's manner had
been when he said good-night! But
it made no difference anyhow. As
Mrs. Livingstone had just affirmed
about Dora and Gerald. Milton Van
Saun and Cynthia Long were less
than nothing to each other.
Cynthia must soon tell Dora of
her engagement. She hoped the girl
would make it easy for her to do so.
Somehow Cynthia shrank from con
fiding the facts to her cousin.- Yet j
it was ridiculous for her to feel this.
She must get used'to conditions and
the sooner the better. She would
try to confide in Dora this very
! night.
She heard Dora go into her own
room, then the door of the little
j ante-chamber was opened suddenly
! and violently.
"May I come in, Cyn?" Dora i
asked brusquely, and entered with- ,
out waiting for a reply. Her face
was flushed and her eyes flashed.
"Mother drives me wild!" she
burst forth. "She watched me as j

j "Oh, of course I like Milton," Dora
[ began, "but I do get tired of moth

i She stopped abruptly as a knock
' j came at the door.
' j "Come in," Cynthia called.
' I Mrs. Livingstone stood in the door
-1 way. She did not speak to Dora,
but to her niece.
i "Cynthia, your uncle would like
to have a talk with you in his den.
' ! Come in at once, please, my dear."
Cynthia rose, started to obey, then
j stopped. Mrs. Livingstone had gone
• j and was already on her way back
| ; to her husband.
"What under the sun's up?" Dora
(speculated. Seeing the look on Cyn
thia's face, she tried to draw her
to her. "Cyn—dear Cyn—what's the
I matter? What's happened?"
But Cynthia did not yield to the
j caress.
I "Don't pet me or pity me. dear,"
i she said, unsteadily. "I cannot bear
!it just yet. and I must not break
| down. Dora—did you know—has
I any one told you how poor I am?
j Did you know that all father's for

| entirely dependent upon your father
1 —that he has even paid some old
| debts that my father meant to pay
—but—died before he was able to
do so?"
Dora gasped. *'Xo!" she ejacu
lated. "Oh, you poor dear, when
did it happen? How long have you
known about it?"
"I've known it for some time,"
Cynthia replied slowly. "I said
nothing about it to you. because I
could not bring myself to speak of.
it. But I wanted you to know the
state of affairs with me—before—
well. 1 wanted you to know it," she
ended lamely. "You see how much
I owe your father.. I have been un
der obligations to him for a home—•
for everything." •
This time she could not resist
Dora's embrace, for the girl flung
her arms about her cousin impetu
ously."
"You poor darling." she exclaim
ed. "That has been worrying you
all this time and I never knew it!
jWho cares anyway? You shall come
and live with me just as soon as we
are married. It will be much more
fun than for me to live alone with
Milton. And Milton would love it,
too, for he likes you an awful lot,
you know. Cyn."
It was Cynthia's turn to gasp.
This was the girl who was sup
posed to be jealous of her be-
Jthrothed's liking for her cousin! It
• was all a mystery.

j Eat Less Bread
i Every time that you eat a nour
ishing but breadless meal, you deal
a blow to the enemy as surely as
though you fired a gun across No
Man's Land.
The United States Food Admin
istration is bending its energies par
ticularly to the matter of saving
wheat during the next few months.
Grain must go across the sea to
our troops in France and to the Al
lied nations with whom we are fight
ing against Germany, in vast quan
titles if the war is to go on.
Our surplus of wheat is exhaust
led and the people of the United
States must save from their own sup
| ply at least 75,000,000 bushels to
j ship between now and the next har
vest.
The simplest way to save is to stop
using bread 'in the casual, general
way to which we are accustomed.
Victory bread, substitute mixed
bread, graham bread, wholewheat
and what not in the way of breads
are being recommended and receipts
are being suggested for them.
All these are good and should be
used when necessary, but it is better
still to cut down the dally consump
tion of bread and to eliminate the
thoughtless habit of eating it to fill
in jdle moments at the table.
In England/ the public eating
places of all types and degrees of
expensiveness serve one slice with
each meal. No more is to be had
for any price. •
In France, where bread made up
more than fifty per cent, of the en
tire amount of food eaten in pre
war days, the daily allowance is as
pitifully small. The same holds true
in Italy and In the latter eountrv,
people are being denied the maca
roni which in some sections has con
stituted the main article of diet.
To make matters worse over there,
other foods are scarce as well as
wheat.
In the United States, tlisre is no
lack of other foodstuffs.
A Hoe For
Every Home
The hoe has become a weapon of
war. The food situation was never
more serious than now. Saving food
is one solution of the world shortage:
substitution is another, but equally
important is the spring edict from
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and the U. S. Food Administration
that the county must plant and pro
duce more food this year than ever
before.
The urgency of this demand must
be appreciated and acted upon
promptly by every home in Amer
ica. Every householder with even a
little land to spare should buy a
hoe. The hoe should become the
symbol of a self-sustair.ing house
hold as regards garden foods. Every
peck of potatoes and every pint of
peas brought in from the backyard
releases that much more for the cur
rent market and saves that much to
ship abroad.
Almost every home has some
member who can devote a little time
each day to the hoe. This should
be considered as much a part of
patriotism as to buy thrift stamps
or to knit for the soldiers. It is nec
essary to do our part to finance this
war, but of what avail to furnish i
money if we fail to feed the army!
and the civilians who are waging
It?
The allied countries have little left
on the credit side of their food
ledger after nearly four years of
war, Canada has sent during these
years every particle of food she could |
possibly spare.
It has now become America's part
Jo be the bread basket for the world.
This means that America must save
and stretch and produce foodstuffs
as never before in all her history.
It means that the shipping shortage
should be considered carefully in
saving certain foods and substitut
ing others for home consumption. It
means that the rail congestion
should be thought of in the selec
tion of those foods nearest at hand.
And above all, it means that every
home with available land should pro
duce enough garden foodstuffs this
summer to feed itself and to can and
store for the winter ahead. Every
home should have a hoe and every
member of the horue should 1 see to
it that he has done his part in fur
nishing the family larder with
garden produce.

Mrs. Killer's Will
The principal question before the
court under all these proceedings
was the interpretation of the will of
Charles D. Kaier, deceased. Margaret
C. Kaier, the wife, who survived
him, named as legatees under her
will only four of the children of this
family, and these children who took
under, the will of Margaret C. Kaier
contended that under the will of
Charles D. Kaier she took an abso
lute estate in all his personal and
real property because Charles D.
Kaier bequeathed to his wife the
whole of his estate with the right to
consume.
The decision handed down con
strues the will of Charles D. Kaier
to the effect that the widow only
took a life estate in his property,
which consisted of a large brewing
property, bank stocks, real estate
and other securities valued at some
thing like half a million dollars.
The decision of the court is that
all of the assets possessed by Charles
D. Kaier at the time of his death are
the property of the estate of Charles
D. Kaier at this time, and that his
six children and one grandchild each
take one-seventh part of the entire
