Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax Once upon a time there was a very sane, wholesome, conscientious wom an who administered her household wisely and brought up a family of children well. And this old lady got around to the time of life where twq chins grew where only one chin grew before. And when she got hold of an interesting book she was more inclined to lie down on the couch to read it than sit up bolt upright as had once been her habit. And along came a friend, one of those "Rag, bone and a hank of hair" women who always look slender and young, when heavily veiled. And the "rag. bone, etc.," lady said: "Why do you let yourself go like that? Why don't you see and take up Chutni chilli?. Now the comfortable one did not know whether Chutnichilli was a new reel at the moVies, another small country slaughtered by Germany or perhaps something new in the pickle line. But after a proper amount of hor ror over her friend's ignorance, the "rag, bone, etc.," lady explained that the queer name went with a brand new. up-to-date "seeress." No, not a fortune teller, nothing vulgar like that! But a genuine East Indian priest ess who made you well, young and discovered your historical counter part by means of vibrations. It seemed that one got fat, elderly and unlovely because one's vibrations -•ere all wrong. Getthem coming or going—l've forgotten which—the right way. and the world was yours. And the sane, wholesome woman "fell for it," and paid $lO to the seer ess with the name like Crosse & Blackwell's pickles. SorcerewM of Old Nile The seeress discovered that the fat lady's vibrations had been going on for years in a highly dangerous way. Thev were either coming "nor nor east" when they ought to be going "sou' sou' west." or something like that. I don't just remember which, but something was wrong with them and it was a wonder the fat lady had lived at all. according to the seeress. But the thrilling part of the dis closure was that this comfortable, middle-aged woman was the living in carnation of Cleopatra, the Serpent of Old Nile. . . , And instead of spending the best •years of her life in going to market, darning her husband's socks and be ing the thrifty, capable housekeeper she had always been, the misguided woman missed her destlnv complete ly. She ought to have made history by playing tenpins with all sorts of potentates. Now the plump lady had every vir tue but a sense of humor. Humor is not generally conceded to be a vir tue. but in her case it would have been one. It would have accomplished a perfect "cure" for the vaporlngs of the seeress. She would have'had $lO worth of laughs out of the vibra tions—Cleopatra nonsense—and let it go at that. But she didn't: she took it seri ously. and she began to think of the I LEMON JUICE ' I 1 TAKES OFF TAN i f i ? f • i ? Girls!

Or something like that, I when they happened to meet on the cars. And the reincarnation of the "Ser pent of Old Nile" began to reflect on the depths of despair that might lay concealed in those "Pleasant weath ers we are having." Because they must all be tremendously conscious of her power. Hadn't Chutnichilli said. "No man could ever be unconscious of it?" So the worthy matron laid the flat tering unction to her soul that the solid suburbanites were all losing weight, or putting it on, or getting gray, or bald, or having flat foot, not because of middle age, but by rea son of her fatal gift. She does not confide her awful ■ power to every one—there is a faith ful band of about ten of us, includ ing her long-suffering husband—that has to bear the brunt o the Cleo patra delusion. The nice, substantial businessman to whom she is married has been magnificent all through the Cleopatra blight. Though it has taken some of the straightness ofT his shoulders and given him a curiously appealing look, that pathetic, shifty glance of his, it always seems to be defending her, to be reminding us that apart from this $lO worth of madness "she is the best little woman alive." And, of course, the rest of us—the other faithful nine—have davs. weeks, sometimes months, off from the fatal gift confidences. But the poor husband naturally has few holi days. And she tells him all about the sub urbanites and the thrilling tones in which they said: "Pleasant weather we are having. Mrs. Smith," or "We need rain badly," or "These cars aro terribly overcrowded, don't vou think?" And she Insists it is not so much what they say as the way thev look. And that poor businessman nods his head and looks back on the good old days before his wife visited the seer ess from East India, wh'o "interprets the law of vibration and discovers the historical character of whom you are the living counterpart." The Moral of All Thl* T don t know that there is any par ticular moral to this chapter from real life. Unless it is, keep awav from fortune tellers if you are not blessed with a sense of humor The old-fashioned kind that manipulated a deck of greasy cards or saw dark or light gentlemen in tea cups were more or less harmless, but the extra fancy kind that sell Cleopatra delu sions at $lO per head are dangerous gentry. They sell more than Cleopatra de lusions. They drive comfortable peo ple who have to hear about them to despair, and. as one of the faithful nine said the other day. "Of course the Litany is perfect, hut if the Church should ever decide to add to it. I hope they will add something like this: " 'From 'the delusion of Imagining every man who says "Pleasant weath er we are having" is deeply in love with us. Lord, deliver us.'

THE PLOTTERS A New Serial of East and West By Virginia Terhunc Van de Water By Virginia Terhuiie Van De Water CHAPTER XVII. (Copyright, 1918, Star Co.) The moving picture house in Mid land was crowded that night, and very warm. As Elizabeth Wade and her escort came out after the performance she drew in a long breath of the cool night air. "Ah! how good it feels and smells!" she exclaimed. "It sure does!" her companion agreed. "And it's so nice that I :im going to drive round home by the long way." "Very well," she assented. It was not until they had been driving for a half hour that she ap preciated how long this roundabout way was. She also realized that she was chilly. "I think we made a mistake In taking this road," she observed after a while, during which Clifford had talked steadily of his affairs and pur suits in Chicago. "I am cold, aren't you?" "Not a bit," he declared. "Here, take this coat of mine," reaching into the back of the car for the garment. "But you may njed it," she sug gested. "No, I do not," he insisted. "Stopping the car, he helped her put on his light overcoat. As he did so he pressed his hands affec tionately upon her shoulders. But she, drawing away, pretended not to notice this. So, with a teasing laugh, he took the wheel again. Suddenly he spoke: "I say, Lizzie, why are you leading that city chap on? You know he's mad about you, don't you?" "He cares nothing for me!" she exclaimed. "Moreover, I am not 'leading him on,' as you say. I told you the other day that I have had only a very few talks with him. I scarcely know him." "Then why did you speak to him as you did to-night?" he questioned. "You told him you 'meant what you said.' It sounder very mysterious." "Perhaps it did," she admitted, "But it wasn't." She would not explain her mean ing to Clifford Chapin. It was none of his business, and she would not satisfy his curiosity. . "Why so solemn?" her companion reproached her later. "Are you still cold?" An Inquisitive Companion "No," she answered. "I am very comiortable, thanks to your coat. I hope you do not feel the need o* It?" "Not at all," he replied. "But I do wish you would tell me the truth about this man Butler. Did you say that Dr. Wade sent him here?" He was watching her as well as he could in the darkness, but she spoke of it unaware of his scrutiny. "Yes—so your, father says. He can tell you all about it." "Lizzie," Clifford slowed down his HARRieBTTRG TELEGRAPH car and took the steering wheel in his left hand, "since we are cousins 1 want you to kiss me." Before she could resist, he had slipped his arm about her waist and drawn h<*r to him. With a violent effort she pulled herself from him, slapping him across the face. To her amazement, he stopped the car in the middle of the road, then, turning to her, caught her hands in his. "What ails you?" he demanded, "Do you think I am the kind of a man who will let a girl strike him like that? Well, I am not!" "And I am not the kind of a girl who let's a man kiss her!" the panted. "You have insulted me!" He released her hands and laugh ed harshly. j'So it is an insult for a man to kiss his own cousin, is it? I just wondered how you would lake it. I want to test you." He paused, then added slowly: "I wanted to prove to my own satisfaction lust what kind of a cousin you are, that's all. Now I have found out what I wanted to know. I quite under stand." "What do you mean?" she ques tioned sharply. Angry as she was, she was startled by what sounded to her like a men ace in his speech. "Oh, never mind!" starting the car again. "I had been wondering, that's, all." A Bit of Hard I.uck In an uncomfortable silence, they' drove to within a quarter-mile of the farm. Then, as a peculiar sound' came from one of the rear wheels ofi the automobile, Chapin brought the| machine to a full stop, and uttered an exclamation of vexation. "What's wrong?" Elizabeth quer ied. "I've got a puncture—darn it!" he; complained. "Isn't that the devil's own lbck?" "What can you do?" the girl ask ed. "Repair it, of course," he said brusquely, getting out of the car. "How long will it take?" "If it's bad, it will take me a half hour. I am not an adept at that kind of thing." His manner was not courteous,! and she felt her indignation rising.! "In that case, I am going on home," she informed him. 'tHc (laughed derisively. "How will you go. alone?" "Certainlv!" she retorted, spring ing from the car before he could > prevent her. "I will walk." But his voice checked her as she; started away. He hurried after her. | "Lizzie!" His tone was pleading now. "Don't be angry with me. Let's be triends. You must not be| so angry with me Just because 11 forgot* myself for a minute. You forget, my dear, how very attractive' you are.

Cheese in Club Sandewichs Cheese has steadily Jogged up in the scale of popularity until almost twice the amount is used to-day that was consumed this time last year. It has a great advantage in the fact that it is always ready and can be eaten without further preparation, if preferred. In the form of a sandwich filler its possibilities are almost unlim ited. Cream cheese has long been a favorite, as it spreads readily, but equally good is the homemade cot tage cheese for this purpose. Here are some suggestions for making club sandwiches by combining cot tage cheese .with various other in gredients: • Make the sandwiches of three good-sized slices of toasted wheatless ipniiiiiiiiiiijiiiiro^ | Light, Airy Reed I | Chairs Regularly $lO 1 | Special at § W\ Just a few odd chairs in this ||i W- l°t> hence our low price—in the popular baronial brown and nat- £=§ |2 ® Ura ' walnut fi n ' s hes all high H § $6.00 FIBRE ROCKER AT. .. }j np S All our remaining stock of these J* J H comfortable, durably made, light V == p weight, attractive Rockers will be ~ H H brown finish.

Let tuce or water cress and salad dress ing are also used. The rest of the tilling may be varied to suit the taste or the larder. The sahdwich is cut diagonally across and served on an individual plate with the halves arranged in diamond shape. It is desirable to toast the bread on one side only and to cut it immedi ately after toasting, as otherwise the pressure of cutting crushes out the cheese and spoils the appearance of the sandwich. The cut slices may be placed together again while the sandwich is being tilled, and the till ing may be sliced through with a sharp knife. In addition to the cot tage cheese, these club sandwiches may contain: 1, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise dressing; 2. thin-sliced cold ham. spread with mustard, let tuce, mayonnaise; 3, sliced tart ap ple, nuts, lettuce, mayonnaise; 4, sliced orange, water cress, mayon naise; 5, sliced Spanish onion, pi mento, lettuce, mayonnaise; 6, two tiny strips of bacon, lettuce, mayon naise; 7, cucumber or green pepper, pimento, lettuce mayonnaise; s', JULY 26, 1918. sweet sandwiches may be made with lasers of cottage cheese and mar malade, or paste made of dried fruits. For these the bread need not be toasted, and the lettuce and may onnaise should not be used.
