The government had been allowing Jim $36 a month for rent while he was a bachelor first lieutenant. 1 decided that it would probably give him about $45 for "self and wife," and that I must find a little apart ment for that sum. We couldn't dig deeper into oun salary for rent. It was impossible to discuss the matter with Jim, for the shadow of unhappiness and nervousness was always wringing its way across his face. "Fearless Jim" seldom smiled now—these days he wasn't fearless, 3 could see that. So I did not annoy him with questions. Forty-Ave dollars a month didn't Impress the first real estate agent very favorably. I went a weary round of offices and finally, at the fourth, procured a list of apartments ranging in rental from forty dollars a month to sixty-five dollars. Why I took the beyond - the-dreams-of-avarice- Eixty-five-doilar list I never knew! Then I traveled from one end of the town to the other. I saw "walk-ups," with dark halls and great, large, dreary rooms fifty three dollars and fifty cents. There were apartments with no electricity, npartments with ancient plumbing, epartments from which I could hear the roar of the "el," apartments so far from street car and subway that I dare not contemplate walking to and fro on a slippery wintry day. . . That is I didn't dare contemplate the! walk for my Jim with his shat-' tered ankle bone. Two days of weary search. Two days of mysterious "business" that) took all my husband's time. Quiet ] evenings, when each of us was evi dently trying to hide some pain or' disappointment from the other. j Then I decided to go down to the Washington Square neighborhood and hunt about for myself. ... I had heard of a wonderful place where apartments went for as little as six dollars a month. But I found that the Place and the Alley were alleys indeed; that the rentals were far, far higher than tradition had said, and that both had long waiting lists. Disconsolate I wandered over to the Avenue—l wanted to get out of the atmosphere of smocked girls with short, bobbed hair and anaemic men with long, bobbed hair. And then I heard a husky little voice cry from a car that was drawing near the curb: "Why, its Jim's wife! Mrs. Har rison! Anne—Anne!" It was Evelyn Mason. She was driving a smart little "chummy roadster," enameled blue. She her self, was all in soft gray, with beads and sport hat of blue. She looked like a pert, mischievous child. At her side sat Sally Royce—more like a copper brown Pekinese than ever in her copper colored silk jersey and flaunting hat of gold and copper straw. They dragged me to lunch with them. They ordered lavishly and quite without asking me what I preferred. They questioned me about where we were staying and what I was doing down near the Arch. When I told them that .Tim and I were at the Walgrave they ex changed glances that were almost — audible. When I told them that I was "house hunting" Evelyn was fairly Aspired.

It's like you too—ditching me with out a by your leave, while you go out to find Jim a home." Evelyn didn't answer. She only looked like a wistful child whose toys were all being taken from her by a big bully. Sally paid the check. I offered to stand my share—offered with throb bing heart—but Sally waved the subject away indifferently. Evelyn's cousin Tom had an office that looked like an inferior decora tor's studio. He proved to be a cal culating man with lips a bit too full and eyes a bit to narrow. He was big and indolent in the movements of his body, but his face had a rapier-like quality. And when he looked at me I felt that he knew what color my petticoat was and how much money there was in my bag. Evelyn stated the case. Mr. Mason studied me narrowly and asked: What are you planning to pay?' I felt myself blushing. How could I expose Jim's pride to these peo ple? "You know what the government allows a first lieutenant?" I said— striving for a light tone. "Yes —l know. And I know, too, that Jim has the tastes of a—Gen eral. He should have married his rich girl." Tom Mason shifted his glance to his cousin's face as he spoke. But Evelyn sat with downcast eyes. Finally she spokd in that husky little voice of hers. She put her words slowly as if feeling her way—being delicate. "Couldn't you give Anne very spe cial rates? A big studio with a wee bath and kitchenette—and perhaps a bedroom —furnished, of course, for she wouldn't want to tie up any money in furniture under the cir cumstances. If having Mrs. Harri son for a neighbor isn't an induce ment to—lower t*he rent, I don't know you, Tommie. You can make the evening so pleasant for her when she's alone." Mr. Mason smiled. His eyes nar rowed to mere slits. Evelyn was biting her full red underlip anxiously, she looked re lieved when the man spoke: "I ve just the place—furnished with nice old things—the sort of things Jim must have. Luxurious. Things with—class, Mrs. Harrison. And to you—as a very special in ducement —it goes for $75 a month. Come along, Evvy—run us over in your car." I felt caught in a net. I didn't want thai apartment. But I felt certain I should take it. (To Be Continued) How to Conserve Canning and Packing For Win ter's Use Explained In Detail l>y National War Garden Experts. CANNING SWEET CORN Success in the canning of corn is like other successes with the cold pack method, dependent upon careful ness in following directions. It is important to have tender, juicy corn. Select it for canning before it gets to the dough stage. Also it should be very fresh. Old corn or stale corn is difficult to sterilize. Write to the National War Garden Commission, Washington, for a free canning book, including a 2-cent stamp for postage. Remove husks and silk, and blanch on the cob 5 minutes. Cold dip. Cut from the cob with a thin, sharp knife, and pack at once in clean, hot jars to within %-inch of the top. Pack lightly, as corn swells somewhat dur ing sterilization. It is advisable for two people to work, as one may cut the corn from the cob while the other packs. If one person works alone, only enough corn should be cut to fill one Jar. Then add 1 level tea spoonful of salt to each quart, and cover with boiling water. Place rub ber and top, partially seal by adjust ing top bail or screwing top on with thumb and little finger, and place in sterilizer—before starting on the next Jar. Corn should not be allowed to stand after the blanch and cold dip, and unless plenty of help is available only quantities sufficient for one or two jars should be blanched at one time. Sterilize 180 minutes in hot water bath, 90 minutes at 5 to 10 pounds steam pressure, or 60 minutes at 15 pounds steam pressure. Remove from sterilizer, complete seal and cool.

THE KAISER AS I KNEW HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS • By ARTHUR N. DAVIS, D. D. S. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate) | (Continued) "Look at England to-day," he re marked. "She is ruled by Lloyd George, a Socialist! Why. England is virtually a republic, as bad as France! What's become of the King of Englancj? One never hears of him any more! Why doesn't he as sert himself?" The tone of disgust with which he gave vent to these sentiments was more significant, per haps, than the words used might imply. "Tour President is trying to over throw me and my family from the throne of Germany by his notes," he commented bitterly, when I saw him shortly after the publication of the President's reply to the Pope, "but he little understands how loyal are my people and how futile his efforts will prove. They held meetings re cently all over the empire, in every city and village, and showed their allegiance to me in no uncertain way, and your President received the an swer from my people that he de served!" I wondered whether the Kaiser was unaware of the fact that all these meetings had been inspired by the government and their useful agent, the press, or whether he was once again making use ef his his trionic ability. The Kaiser's resentment against President will be better un derstood, perhaps, by reference to one or two passages from the notes to which the Kaiser undoubtedly al luded: In President Wilson's war message to Congress of April 2, 1917. occur the following passages: "We have no quarrel with the Ger man people. We have no feeling to ward them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their government acted in entering this war. It was not with their previous knowledge or ap proval. It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined in the old, unhappy days when peo ples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in .the Interest of dynasties or of little groupsof ambitious men who were accustomed to use their fellow men as pawns and tools. * • "Does not every American feel that assurance has been added to our hope for the future peace of the world by the wonderful and hearten ing things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia? Russia was known by those who knew "it best to have been always in fact democratic at heart, in all the vital habits of her thought, in all the intimate relationships of her people that spoke their natural in stinct, their habitual habit toward life. The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure, long as it had stood and terrible as was the reality of its power, was not in fact Russian in origin, char acter or purpose: and now It has been shaken off and the great, gen erous Russian people have been add ed in all their native majesty and might to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the world, for justice, and for peace. Here is a fit partner for a League of Honor. • • • "The world must be made safe for democracy!" And in the President's reply of August 27, 1917, to the Pope's Peace Proposal occurred the following pas sage: "The object of this war is to deliv er the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a FASHION'S FORECAST (By Annabel Worthington) .inis attractive and easily made plaid Ingham dress for a little girl suggests A he familiar old fashioned pinafore in its n implicity.

What gall and Wormwood these expressions were to the Kaiser can be fully appreciated only by those who know how completely he was obsessed with mediaeval ideas and how dearly he envied those "old, un happy days when peoples were no where consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of dynasties"—to use the President's apt characterization. I have referred in a previous chap ter to the "Sieges of Alice," the group of statues of his "ancestors which the Kaiser had erected in the Tier garten to show his veneration and to inspire respect for the monarchs of a bygone age. He was constantly restoring old castles, and always showed his contempt for everything that was modern in art and music. He sanctioned the appointment of Richard Strauss as conductor of the Berlin Opera House, but when, in after years, that able composer pro duced a number of operas of a de cidedly modern tendency, which sad ly hurt the Kaiser, that monarch declared viciously: "I raised a snake in the grass to bite me!" It is a fact that before the war no play was every permitted in Ger many in which a royal prince mar ried a peasant girl. The Kaiser would not countenance even in the drama any such dire assault on dy nastic dignity. ' Class distinctions must be sustained at all costs. After the war, however, the ban upon plays of that character was removed, and the rather ludicrous result followed that hardly a play was produced in which the marriage of royalty and plebeian blood did not figure. Although Germany is regarded as the cradle of socialism, to the Kaiser it was a cancer which was slowly eating away the foundations of his empire, and he viewed its progress with the direct misgivings. Before the war he steadfastly re fused to receive a deputation of so cialists and never once gave an au dience to the leaders of the Socialist party in the Reichstag, although the heads of committees of all the other political parties were at times re ceived in conference. t "While the Reichstag was little more than a children's debating society, the growth and increasing power of the Socialistic party, which con stantly clamoring for the reform vote, could not be Ignored and no doubt had a great deal to do with the militarists' anxiety not to post pone the war too long. After mobilization was ordered, howevfer, the Kaiser decided to re cede from his position somewhat, and from the balcony of the Palace in Berlin, in front of which an enormous crowd had gathered, he declared significantly: "I recognize no parties. We are now all Ger mans." If pnyone imagines, however, that his kow-towing to the Socialists in this instance was evidence of a per manent change of heart, he little ap preciates how deeply rooted is the Kaiser's abhorrence of socialism and democracy. Indeed, one of the prin cipal things the Kaiser honed to ac complish by prosecuting the war to a triumphant conclusion was the blow it would deal to socialistic pro gress. He felt that victory would make his army the, idol of the peo ple and that their monarch would shine in the reflected glory of their martial achievements. A successful war, he believed, would set socialism back a hundred years. Certain it is the war brought no change in the Kaiser's personal hab its.

In all his career, the German people had never seen their Kaiser other than in his royal uniform, and at all military parades or reviews, he always rode a white horse, that he might be most I conspicuous, and bore the royal mace I which his ancestors had carried cen j turies before him. With the death ! struggle between mediaeval mon ' archy and democracy raging about \ him, the Kaiser was determined to : yield not a little of his prerogatives. His automobile still made its coming known by its distinctive "tade-tada tu-ta" and the royal palaces were maintained in all their accustomed pomp. But while the Kaiser's armies were triumphant in the field, the principle which he .was combatting was every where gaining ground. On March 15, 1917, the Czar abdicated, and Rus jsia, whose autocratic form of govern ment had long been the envy of the German aristocracy, became a re public. "The downfall of the Russian em pire was brought about by England because she feared that the Czar was about to make a separate peace," the Kaiser commented to me. "As a mat ter of fact, however, neither the Czar nor his government ever approach ed us on that subject, and when England overthrew the Russian monarchy she defeated her very pur pose. With the Czar on the throne. Russia would probably have gone "on fighting us." Although the Kaiser bore no par ticular love for the Czar, whom he I was fighting, he had no desire to convert the empire into a democracy, land his bitterness toward England for what he thought was her part in the establishment of the Russian re public was very pronounced.
