Ijiflj Readiivf and all Ike EsmiKj Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax Whenever I get a letter from a correspondent beginning: "My hus band is the best man in the world, but" Then I know that the wife of his bosom is going to clear out the card Index she has been men tally keeping for years in regard to him, and start all over again with fresh reserves of patience, tender ness and affection. For love may be blind, but the most loving wife seldom is. And the "blind" wife never really holds her hushand like the one who is tn full possession of all her faculties, tier "blindness" means she is de ficient in those womanly intuitions that neahle a little ninety-pound •wisp of femininity to twist a two liundred-pound husband around her finger and have him rejoice, in his subjugation. For because of the long, black flight of medievalism from which women are Just beginning to emerge, She is still a creature of Intuitive Impulse and her intuitions are Invariably right. Intuitions were originally the method of protection supplied by na ture, during long eons of time to defend her from creatures of great er physical strength. To enable her to secure greater tolerance for her- Fclf and her children the wife of the cave-man knew she must please. She knew that she enjoyed the shel ter of the cave, subject to the same man's whim. And if he got "mad" he would be likely to cudgel her and her chil<Jjen out of doors to take their chances with weather and Wild beasts. A Question of Survival She gauged her lord and master's moods as it was a ques tion of survival With her. So you may be sure that sitting in a dark corner of the cavern, patching with Jier bone needle the cave man's fur shoulder cape or his "Mary Garden wjpf Opened Easily Sealed I pHLORINATED I Lime must be kept i sealed to retain its strength. !

From this intense study of symp toms she evolved a magical sense of clairvoyance in regard to people which we call, at the present time, I "feminine intuitions." And these same institutions were the weapons that stayed by, and, along with the material instinct, helped to develop her through the long ages, from the uncouth, dirty, grunting cave woman, into the exquisitely dressed, coifed, groomed, manicured product [ we see to-day. And the modern woman has still kept cave-great, great, great—and , some hundred times more great grandmother's marvelous legacy. With this talisman, .she still gauges the moods of the cave-man's mate descendants and works her magic —black or white—accordingly. And sometimes she applies the talisman to her fcllow-womarv, only she, too, has the intuitive method to fall back on, and it becomes a case of diamond cut diamond with the ladies, and is not to be depended upon as in the case of a poor, de fenseless male. Too Busy For Intuitions Back in the good old cave days, he was so busy hunting for food and furs that he had no time to cul tivate his masculine intuitions, which accounts for the fact that he hasn't any worth mentioning to day. So he must depend on a bleak process called logic, for getting him self out of his difficulties, and stav ing off "feminine Intuitions" from various quarters. So when people say a woman Is "utterly blind" to her husband it does not mean that she loves him any more deeply than the wife who sees. Only that nature has "passed her up," forgotten to endow her i with this very valuable inheritance. But the triumph of love is, when | a wife not only sees all the strength , and weakness, good and bad, the scrap of divinity along with the I scrap of Satan, that goes to make | up her man, yet loves him through thick and thin in spite of every thing. This is the kind of love that en- | dures, in spite of the ravages of ill- j fortune, through better or worse, "until death us do part." The mar- ! r!ed love that has a large element of the maternal in its make-up, up pears to have the most enduring qualities. And material love sure- Iv sees, even when it affects to be blind." It is for this reason, In all prob ability, that marriages between older women and younger men are so often conspicuously successful. The older wire makes allowances where a girl lacking in any acquired knowl edge of human nature, is apt to ex pect too much of her Prince Charpi ing. A Skilled Weather Prophet The young girls intuitions also are less well developed than those of the older woman; she has not yet acquired that exquisite fineness in anticipating what we may call "barometrical conditions," other wise she has not become the skilled domestic weather prophet that the older woman is likely to be. The fair young creature, unless she bewlse beyond her years, will disregard many Intimations of fatigue on the part of her husband and suggest an evening at the "movies" or some other outing, de manding more driving power from the already "tired businessman." The older woman, with more tact Is apt to bring the head of the house his slippers and house coat, with the suggestion that she read to him from an amusing book she has Just picked up at the library. So a face showing wrinkles may have moments of rare charm, and seem more valuable, as a household possession, than one having a com plexion of peaches and cream—and with It the heedlessness and want of thought that frequently goes with youth. Now that the war has speeded up the evolution of women so tremer dously, and she is daily regarded as more of a responsible person, she will require the legacy of intuition from her cave-great grandmother less than formerly. And in the course of time —if she continues to exercise her new-found reasoning faculties—she is apt to lose it altogether. No longer will she have to gauge the mood of the cave-man's great grandson, many times removed, for the purpose of wheedling from him a blue hat, a pair of high-heeled shoes or a li mousine. Perhaps there will be no limousines In those days, as wealth will, undoubtedly, be pretty equally divided. Instead of wheedling, this woman of the future will take counsel with her own logical faculties in regard to the—then equivalent—of the blue hat, high-heeled shoes, or the limousine. And she will decide in her own court of final appeal, whether or not she will take unto herself these vanties. There will, undoubtedly, be more real love matches in those future days, and fewer of. what we now call "marriages of convenience." Men and women will be on an en tirely equal footing—and the wel fare of the children will be the greatest concern of every one. How to Conserve Canning and Paekinu For Win ter's IJse Explained in Detail by National War Garden Experts. CANNING LIMA BEANS Lima beans should be canned the same day on which they are picked. This point is covered fully in the canning and drying book which the National War Garden Commission, Washington, will send to you on re quest. A 2-cent stamp to cover post age should be enclosed. The beans should be In prime con dition, and shelled and sorted care fully. The large ones are often canned for succotash. After shelling do not wash. Blanch five minutes. Cold dip and pack in jars, taking care not to break the skins. Broken beans will cause a cloudiness in the liquid. Add one level teasf>oon salt to each quart and pour in boiling water to cover. Put on rubber and top and adjust top bail, or screw on .top with thumb and little finger. Sterilize 180 minutes in hot water bath or 60 minutes at five to ten pounds' steam pressure. Remove, seal tight at once and cool. The commission will be glad to answer any questions written on one side of the paper and sent in a self-address ed stamped envelope.

This sentence keeps ringing over and over in my head: "I have failed Jim." There is no excuse for me. Four days ago I married the man I love better than any other being on earth, and tonight—tonight, by be having like an awk-ward school girl with stupid prejudices and ungra cious manners-I have shamed htm be for his friends. Cp/i I find iny excuse for myself? When we came through the terrac ed court-yard of Towers—by—the— Sea to the great oval room crowded with tier upon tier and ring upon ring of laughing, shouting human be ings. I felt as it all the three-ringed circuses in the world had been con gregated In one spot and were com peting against each other to make more noise than any human being ever before had heard. It fairly deafened me and made me dizzy. "Have you never been here?" Jim seemed amused by my shrinking and •the way I clung to his arm. I felt as if 1 \\#re accused of some horrid crime and misdemeanor—prim and unpopular, undesirable. "Well, you see," X hesitated. "I've only lived in New York three years, and he Haldane's magazine crowd doesn't exactly fit in with these—in terior decorations." Jim gave my afrm a quick squeeze and laughed: • "They are 'interior decorations.' Their materials are champagne and guinea hen and strawberries out of season. You have a way of sizing i people up, little Princess." A Cutting Remark Just at first we couldn't find Betty Bryce's table. My heart beat fast— perhatps we would not be able to lo cate her In that great hurly-burly! But Jim turned to a waiter who led us to our party. That waiter seemed either very much Impressed or very much amused because we were friends of Mrs. Bryce. "Tommy and Jack couldn't wait— they had a party on over at Marcel's and of course they wanted me to come—but I wotildn't desert you two •precious children." "Oh, why didn't you go?" I began eagerly—but Jim's hurried face stop ped me. i The deprecating "poached egg" ex pression on Miss Moss's face changed to a puzzled one, but Mrs. Bryce re mained charming. "Dear child, it's sweet of you not to want me to miss any Jolly times, but I'm twice as fond of Jimmie as of Tommy and Jack together, and besides dear, I wanted to know you. There's no escaping me once I decide I'm going to be your friend." "Why do you think you're going to be my friend?" I demanded, wide eyed. "I haven't done one thing that I 1 FASHION'S FORECAST (By Annabel Worthlngton) / A VtTy Btr,kin * combination of mate r V \ Hal * ,8 ? he " ecret ot smartness of tbia L/j§\\ * I \ drM *' N(J ' 8872 ' Jt 18 rea "y very simple TV\l iZ / rdr 10 mak '' f ° r the Upper part lB 8,1 ,n one from t*ie shoulders to where the skirt section ipins it The closing la made at een- I ' ront * row °' tiny buttons set ver y c los together.

Mrs. Bryce sat back and lr#jked at me slowly, almost pityingly, out of ner gray-green eyes, and then she said: "I know Jimmie pretty -well little Princess. I know the kind of girl he d marry. I've studied you, too, and you—y° u remind me of a spray of lilac." I like lilacs. "Do you remember, Jimmie, the night we sat out watching the stars fade a;#.l fitting all (Tie girls we knew names? There was that poppy person, Jeanette Royce, and May Varden, a litly of the valley. We didn't know any lilac girls then, did, we Jimmie?" So even when Jim said that I look ed like a spray of lilac in my lavender organdy he was quoting Mrs. Bryce! It seemed to me as if he had learned all he Jtnew about women from her. I couldn't bear it. Suddenly I heard myself saying it aloud. An Explanation "Do you think it quite fair to wo men, Mrs. Bryce for you to analyze them so pitilessly men?" My voice was cutting. I knew it and I couldn't help it. The rest of the evening wasn't a great success. At last Mrs. Bryce Driving us home. All the way she and Jimmy talked about Tommy and Jack, and May and Jeanette and a lot of other people they seemed to know very well. But they seemmed to be avoiding something in their con versation—avoiding it by mutual agreement. I made no effort to talk to Mrs. Moss. When we got back to our inn, Mrs. Bryce bade me good night as amiably as if I had been all sweet ness and charm. "You must let me know as soon as you get back to town, little bride," she begged ever so graciously. You'll need some one to help you find an apartment. Jimmie is so imprac tical?" So she knew this, too, about my husband—lt was a discovery our fourj days of married life had not enabled me to make. , Our little chintz-hung room looked stiff and unfriendly when we got up to It. The bluebirds did not carol a welcome Jim was very silent. He whistled a bit "now and then. He asked me a question or two about arranging windows and shades—but there was no note o-f tenderness In his voice. I waited until the lights were out —then I asked Jim a question: "Was I an awful failure, Jimmie?" "Well, dear, I think you must learn to be more gracious to my friends. Betty Bryce is a very wonderful wo man—or she might have taken offense at your coolness. She is one of the best,friends I ever had." -v "And now she'll hate me, I sup pose?" "Oh, no—she's too big and splendid for that. Don't worry about it. Good night dear." There was no good night kiss. Long after the regular breathing from the little four poster next to mine told me that Jim was asleep,- I lay stifling my sobs-in my pillow. Has Jim married the wrong sort of woman? Am I going to be a handicap to him? Is he sorry—sorry he didn't choose a queenly person like Betty Bryce, Instead of his poor, awkward frightened little princess Anne? I lay wide-eyed and lonely in the darkness, wondering what daylight would bring. • (To Be Continued f , B Advice to the Lovelorn BV BEATRICE FAIRFAX A SECRET MARRIAGE DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: | I am 18 and have made the great j mistake of secretly marrying after I an acquaintance of only one month. I I have, had a good long,talk with my husband regarding our future, but |he is determined about our living j apart and things remaining as they are. * Shall I speak to his folks or my folks about it? Ido not need his sup port. CLAIRE K. I dare say there is no use scolding > you now that you have done this very foolish thing of making a secret mar riage.

I believe I'd take some member of ! my family into my confidence, prefer- I ably ypur mother. , HELP HIM , DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 18 and for a year have been ' corresponding with a young man now 1 in the service. He has been a close | friend of the family for years. Our letters became very interesting and affectionate. A couple of mdnths ago ' he was on a long* furlough, called to 1 see me often and we grew very fond of each other. I had not one thing against him, in fact, I thought him almost perfect, his actions toward myself, mother and sisters were be yond reproach, until a few days ago he called, and to my astonishment I detected the odor of liquor on him and very soon found out that he had some with him. This sickened me so that I wrote and told him I would have nothing more to do with him. Since | then he has begged fne to forgive him. as he loves me dearly and was sorry to have caused me one moment's un happiness. Now. I think a great deal of this young man and want to ask you this question: "Shall I give him another chance?" MADELINE. Of course, give him another chance. First of all it isn't fair to condemn anybody for one mistake or to refuse him the chance to make good. Per haps if you deny this young man his opportunity you will actually drive him - deeper into thb throes of his bad habit. Of course, I would never want any woman to marry a man who was a slave to the drink habit; and no | girl who has seen the sorrow drink can bring into a home would risk it. But your lad is young, and with your help will probably conquer his temper. Why not help him. my dear? Continue your friendship. Some day, when you have helped him make a strong, brave man of himself, you may consider the more serious question of love. SHE OUGHT TO CHANGE HER "JOB" DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 16, employed in a downtown office. About five or six weeks ago a salesman began paying attention to me. He is married, about 25 years old. At first I tried to stop him and pretend I misunderstood, hut it was no use. And the proprietor's son, a boy of 17, has begun to act in the same yay. They encourage each other in his conduct, and it grieves me very much. I have reported matters to the proprietor, but he can't get along without the salesman. I have tpld my mother and she advises me to leave. 8. N. I should leave Immediately a situa tion like the one you describe. Every girl who works for" her giving is en titled to her self-respect, and you could not keep that long in an office like the one you speak of. Fortu nately. it is very easy to get work these davs. and I should lose no time in advertising for another position, or you might put In your application the the Young Woman's Christian As sociation, or any similar organisation in iwhich you may be interested. DON'T APPEAR TOO EAGER DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Kindly advise me In this matter: A gentleman made an appointment with me a week ago. and when he called at the appointed time, informed me that he was sorry, but had to work that night. He did not, however, make another engagement, and I am beginning to think it was Just an ex cuse. Do you think, If he Invites me out again, that I ought to go, or do you think I will appear too eager to go out with him? For I care for him, but do not want him to know It. It will be all right for you Jo ac cept the next Invitation, Ir you care to, but I should not call him up, or make an effort to see him till he took the first steps. He will appreciate you more if you are not too eager. t MOTHER GRAY'S SWEET POWDERS FOR CHILDREN, A Owt aloßeliof (or PtTorllbDCN, Disorders, and D mlroj AUGUST 8, 1918.
