- . %s "When a Girl Marries " By AXN LISLE A New,. Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorb ing Problems of a Girl Wife. 1., CHAPTER VII (Copyright, 1918, by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Set back from a white-paved crossroads corner in the heart of Long Island there is a place called Flower Dew Inn. Thg name sounds as if the place were a little garden spot, white, red-awninged and set in green sward. in reality it's a great rum bling structure of lemon-colored frame with porches and chimneys of red brick tacked on at random. .Three boys preside over the graveled entrance and graciously grant you permission to park your car some where In the barren brown court yard that blossoms only with auto mobiles and their shining nickel and enamel. Flower Dew Inn is the gay-1 est place on the island. Feverishly, laughing like a child playing hookey from school, Jim i turned in at the entrance. The ball Was crowded with people waiting! for places in the great, brlck-pil-! lured, brick-floored diningroom. The place looked avaricious and cold—I: Wondered bow Jim could afford to bring me there. Just ahead of us stood a party of four. There were two men In bluo serge coats and white flannels that looked as if they might cost more than the suits the editors of Hal-1 dune's wore down to the office. The! Women were in billowy chiffons andi picturesque, floppy hats. I Suddenly the girl in blue turned. Her wide eyes of corn-flower blue widened still more between their thick, light lashes. Her full red lips pouted their way into an amazed a delightful smile that brought out a spray of tiny dimples at her mouth corners. She looked like a very knowing little child. "It's Jim! Jimmie himself —come back to us!" She called and darted over to us. A Challenge to Jim A moment later she stood looking tip at my husband challcngingly, herj head uptilted, her little body quiver ing. She had two aspects—one, a pleading, "Don't hurt me" air; the other, worldly, a gay little air of impudence and indifference as to what the people in her party might think. "Evelyn!" cried Jim—and I de tected a bit of annoyance in his tone. The girl had caught his hands in hers and was looking up with the Wistful air of a child who doesn't want to be punished, though it knows it has been very naughty. "When did you get back? Why haven't I seen you? Are you still angry with me, Jim?" The blue eyes misted over, I was sorry for the girl. Evidently Jim had hurt her somehow. "Evelyn, I want you to meet my wife," said Jim, curtly. "Anne, this is my friend, Evelyn Mason." The girl's face went pink all at once and then paled, so that her pouting red lips twisted out against a frail background of white. But she reached up and kissed me. We were friends at once. She insisted that we must sit with her party. A moment later she was presenting Jim's wife to Mr. and Mrs. Royce and Mr. Blake, and every one was congratulating Jim and watching Miss Mason and me with a puzzled air. In the dressing room it was settled by Miss Mason that she was "Evelyn" to me and I "Anne" to her. As we were going to be friends we might as well start, she said. "This is Shelly's party—let's go the limit," cried Miss Mason, when we were puzzling out the order. She looked like an adorable oaby when she said it, and every one laughed when she asked the waiter whether Russian caviar or lobster cocktails would do more to set the proprietor up in business. Jim looked uneasy. He frowned when he heard Miss Mason call me Anne, I wondered why?

I wondered if my husband had a mag netism that no woman could resist —and if he enjoyed his power. I felt uneasy, but Jim's own air ofj reservo and unrest reassured me a i bit. There was dancing, but Jim was informed that heroes weren't re-1 quired to be dance partners. Evelyn j Mason pat out a dance with him and Insisted that Sheldon! Blake show me all the new steps. | Mr. Blake was very tall, slim, per-! fectly groomed, and his skin, eyes I and hair were in shades of rich brown. He was handsome in a | vivid, compelling way. The Dicky Royces were like a pair of little red brown Pomeranians, snubnosed, pert, indifferent—altogether sure of themselves. With the coffee, Mr. Royce had an inspiration! "Salliklns, I must get you one of those rag monkey-dolls they have here." He called the waiter and slipped a ten-dollar bill conspicuously into his hand as he asked for the doll. Precently it was brought—an ugly image of a sadly ugly little monicey dressed in green and capped in scarlet. Evelyn opened wide her wistful eyes and stared at the dolly and then at the men. "Want one, baby?" asked Mr. Blake. "Oh—Evvy can't let Sally have a dolly If Blie hasn't." lisped Miss Mason in a fashion that would have been absurd if another girl had tried it—but in her little husky voice it was adorable. The waiter protested that there were no more of the monkeys. But Mr. Blake's twenty-dollar bill jogged his memory, and he remembered one more. "Oh. I pouldn't take it and have our little bride go without a souve nir," protested Evelyn with sudden sweet womanliness. "You give it to her. Shelly, and maybe Jim will get one for his old, old —chum." I saw Jim's face go scarlet—l knew that he hadn't so much as twenty dollars with him, for only thathfternoon he had spoken of hav ing a check cashed the next morn ing. I shuddered away from the proffered doll. "I know I'm silly—but I detest monkeys! I'll tell you what I want for a souvenir of a wonderful eve ning—one dance with my husband." I fairly whirled Jim out on the floor. "You darling—you clever little diplomat!" breathed my husband. He held me close—suffocatingly close. The music of a waltz set us gliding out into mystery and ro mance together. But as we passed the table I heard Sally Royce laugh: "So she has Jim's number al ready." And Evelyn's throaty voice mur mured: "Poor kiddie!" Then Sheldon Blake laughed: "Glad you aren't in her boots Evvy?" What did they mean? (To Be Continued) THE KAISER AS I KNEW HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS By ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D, S. THE KAISER'S DUAL PERSONALITY CHAPTER IV If I had come away from Germany in January, 1914, instead of in Janu ary, 1918, and had written the im pression I had gained of the Kaiser in the ten years I had known him, what a false picture I would have painted of the man as he really is! It would have been a picture of a man who in general appearance and bearing was every inch an emperor and yet who could exhibit all the courtesy, affability and gentleness of the most democratic gentleman, a man soft of eye and kindly in expression, a man of wide reading and attain ments —perhaps the most versatile man in the world, a man who pos sessed a most alert mind, a remark able memory and the keenest obser vation; a man who'was not generous in nature and yet was at times con siderate of others; a man of charm ing personality and amiability. It would have shown a man of unpar alleled egotism, a man who was im patient of correction and who would brook no opposition. There might have been in the picture a suggestion of the dire lengths to which the man would go to have his way, but it would have been only a suggestion. As far as it went, the picture would have been accurate, but it would have been sadly incomplete—with all the lights worked in but lacking all the shadows. It took the war and its attendant horrors to reveal the Kaiser in his true colors. The war did not change his character; it uncovered it. 'Early in my practice I happened to mention to the Kaiser that I appre ciated the friendliness he showed me in invariably waving his hand at me as he passed my window when walk ing along the Tiergarten. "It's a good advertisement for you, Davis," he said. "The people see me waving to you and they know you must be a good dentist or I wouldn't come to you. It will help your busi ness!" In every act, he was con scious of the public. During that period of my career in Berlin, he showed the utmost interest in my progress and frequently In quired how my practice was develop- As I have previously mentioned, whenever the Kaiser came to me. it meant a re-arrangement of my sched ule for the day. None of my patients could enter my office while he was on the premises, and although the pres tige I got from the Kaiser's patron age more than made up, perhaps, for temporary inconvenience his visits In variably caused, he endeavored to minimize the disturbance by coming as early in the day as possible. Some times he came before breakfast. On one occasion, in midsummer, he came at five in the morning. Just be fore going to peace-time army maneu ver. He seldom, if ever, came later than nine o'clock, and he said he visited me early so as to upset my plans as little as possible. The first bill I rendered him. as I have mentioned, he doubled.

These over-payments never amounted to very much, but they impressed me because they were so out of keeping with the stinginess the Kaiser dis played in other directions. From time to time the Kaiser sent or brought me autographed pictures of himself or others. At the time of the one hundredth anniversary of Frederick the Great, he gave me a picture of that monarch. On another occasion, he presented me with a group picture of himself surrounded by his family and dogs. I remember his bringing to me a large unframed picture ih celebration of his silver wedding. It was about twenty-four by eighteen inches in size. It show ed the Kaiserin and himself In a sort of cloud floating above a birdseye view of Berlin, with the Palace and the Cathedral dimly seen below. I don't know just what this master piece was meant to signify, but I had it framed and placed it in my office. It evoked from a little boy who en tered the room with his mother the following astonished remark: Oh, mother, look at the Kaiser in Heaven!" A postcard picture of the Kaiser, signed by his own hand, was in his own estimation one of the most price less gifts he could bestow. I re member his donating one of them to hn American charity bazar in Berlin to be auctioned off. He thought that the fact that the card came from his Imperial majesty gave it a value which could not be measured in dol lars and cents. A piece of jewelry or a sum of money might have been duplicated or even excelled by a gift of similar character from any Ameri ■can millionaire —for whose wealth the Kaiser frequently expressed the utmost contempt—but what could surpass the value of an.autograph of the Kaiser! No doubt the royal banquets were prepared much updn the same princi ple, for it was a common saying among the German aristocracy that one had better feel well before going to a banquet at the Palace. I happened to mention to the Kais er the reputation his banquets held among his people. He was not as all taken aback. "That's good!" he commented. "The Germans are too fat, anyway. The majority of the people eat too much." Long after automobillng became more or less general, the Kaiser still employed a horse and carriage for ordinary travel, relying upon his free use of the railways for longer dis tances. When, however, the Reichs tag passed a law compelling royalty to pay for their railroad travel, the Kaiser took to automobiles. They charged him 11,000 marks, h e told me, for the use of a train on one of his shooting trips, and that apparent ly was more than he could stand. "Autos are expensive," he declared, "but they don't cost me that much!" When the Kaiser came to hire a head chauffeur, he wanted the best man he could find. A man named Weber, who had been.employed by an American millionaire, was recom mended to him. Perhaps the Kaiser figured that the privilege of working for him was in itself liberal remun eration. Certain it is that the salary be offered Weber would never have satisfied a chauffeur who had been ac customed to the American scale of compensation, and the Kaiser would undoubtedly have had to get another man had not the motorcar company whose models the Kaiser was using and who thought it would be a wise policy, literally speaking, to have "a friend at court" agreed to pay Weber a large sum each year in addition to what the Kaiser offered him if he would take the position. He took it I have this story on the authority of One of the directors of the motorcar company in question. The Kaiser speaks English with but the slightest trace of a foreign accent. His diction is perfect. He speaks French, too, very fluently, and, I believe, Italian. He Is widely read on almost all subjects and knows the literature of Egland, France and America as well as that of Germany Mark Twain was one of his favorite American authors and Longfellow his choice of American poets. He prides himself on his acquain tance with history and has little re spect for the political opinions of others whose knowledge of history is less complete. Shortly after Carnegie had donated five million marks to Germany to fur ther world-peace. I happened to be talking to the Kaiser of American millionaires and the steel-master was mentioned. "Of course. Carnegie is a nice old man and means well." remarked the Kaiser, condescendingly, "but he is totally ignorant of world history. He's just advanced us five million for world-pie<se. We accepted it natur ally, but, of course, we Intend to con tinue our policy of maintaining our army and navy in full strength." j Indeed, there is hardly any subject [to which the Kaiser has devoted any considerable attention in which h„< doesn't regard himself as the final au thorlty. As an ajt collector and antiquarian he claims first place and he is rather inclined to feel that second place should be left vacant. He always re sented much the acquisition by American millionaires of art treas ures and antiquities which their wealth enabled them to buy, but which their limited acquaintances with history and their lack of cul ture and refinement made them un able to appreciate—ln the Kaiser's estimation. Of his own taste in art little need be said. The monuments which he caused to be erected to his ancestors and their advisors and which adorn the Sieges Ailee, the street he had opened through the Tiergarten espe cially for them, are at the same time a monument to the Kaiser's ideas of art. They are the laughing-stock of the artistic world. They have been so frequently defaced by vandals whose artistic taste they offended that it was necessary to station po licemen in the Sieges Ailee to guard them. Not long ago a burglary oc curred in the vicinity. The burglars were observed while at work and a startled civilian rushed to the Sieges Ailee to summon one of the officers who were known to be on guard there. "If you hurry," exclaimed the civil ian, excitedly, "you can catch these burglars red-handed." "I'm sorry," replied the policeman, "but I cannot leave the statues." Realism is the Kaiser's idea of what is most desirable in dramatic art. When he put on "Sardanapal," a Greek tragedy in pantomime, at the Berlin Opera House, he sent pro fessors to the British Museum to se cure the most detailed information available regarding the costumes of the period. Every utensil, every ar ticle of wearing apparel, every but ton, every weapon, in fact, every property used in the play were to be faithfully reproduced, particular pains being taken to produce a most rea listic effect in a funeral pyre scene in which a king ended his life. The Kaiser sent me tickets to see it. King Edward attended the per formance at the Berlin Royal Opera and I asked the Kaiser how the King of England enjoyed it. "My gracious," the Kaiser replied, unable to repress his satisfaction at the effect the pantomime had had on his royal uncle, "why, tho King was very much alarmed when the funeral pyre scene came on. He thought the whole opera house was oq lire!" Perhaps the Kaiser's love for de tails might be attributed to his keen observation. Nothing, no matter how trivial, escaped his attention. A couple of years before the war I had the Empire furniture in my wait ing-room re-upholstered. On the very first occasion of the Kaiser's calling at my office after the change he noticed it. "My, my, how beautiful the chairs look!" he exclaimed. "Good enough for Napoleon himself." On another occasion, between two of the Kaiser's visits, I had had put up in the waitingroom a new por trait of Mrs. Davis. The Kaiser no ticed it the moment he came into the room and made some complimentary remark about it.

SYRUPS FOR CANNING FRUITS Fruits may be satisfactorily can ned without sugar, and those put up especially for young children might better have sugar omitted. The adult taste requires sweetened fruit and less sugar is required if the fruit is sweetened when canned. Sugar is added in syrup form when the prod uct is canned and permeates it well during the processing or sterilizing. It is more economical to can fruits I with rather than to add sugar when using. Send for a free canning : manual which the National War Gar den Commission, Washington, will send you for a 2-cent stamp to cover postage. In directions given, various grades lof syrup are mentioned. These are in the following proportions: Thin —One part sugar to four parts water. Medium—One part sugar to two parts water. Thick—One part sugar to one part water. In making the syrup have the water boiling, then add the sugar very gradually. Stir constantly, keep ing the liquid boiling, until all of the sugar is dissolved. A clear syrup, which rarely needs skimming, results ] if this method is used. Thin syrups are used for all sweet j fruits such as cherries, peaches and I apples. Use medium syrups with! sour fruits, such as strawberries, | gooseberries, apricots. Thick syrup is suitable' for preserving and espe cially sun-cooked preserves. Thin syrup is not sticky; medium syrup is sticky when cooled on spoon; thick syrup when poured has a thickened appearance. Care should be taken while using the syrups. The liquid should be add ed boiling hot to the filled jars, but between times, if allowed to con "MY FEET USED TO SWELL SO" Trouble Was So Bad That Some times Mrs. Gray Could Hardly Get About "I can't begin to tell you how I suffered with my feet and limbs," says Mrs. Velma Gray, of North Sev enth street, Harrisburg, Pa.
