CHAPTER XXXII
(Copyright, 1918, hy King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
Sunday was a riot of blue skies
and golden sunlight and soft breezes
that whispered gay little invitations
to come out and play. After break
fast my husband hurried off to keep
his appointment with a man up
state. and Xeal and 1 fell upon the
dishes and washed and dried them
and gossiped with a vim.
"Say, Babbsie, at the rate we're
going we won't be done when that
husband of yours gets back. Say,
lie's a winner! He can have me all
right if he'll always treat mfe as
white as he did his morning. Lady
Evelyn says it 'won't hurt for me to
kind of follow his lead once in a
while. She thinks he's all right, too,"
said N'eal, turning mattresses with
brisk vigor. •
A minute later he added:
"I've a date with —her to-day. Say,
sposin' you finish your room and I
do mine and we see who beats.
Otherwise we'll never get through."
"Righto, Nealte! Only it's no fair
leaving dust in corners," I agreed
light -heartedly. Hadn't my young
brother just called my husband a
winner*' If my boys liked each oth
er. if we had our own happy little
family group, if Jim found work—
then Jim and I would be woven into
the very pattern of each other's
(Jaily lives, and I would never again
have the pang of feeling the "out
sider." His old life would slip away
into a background of unimportant
memory and his real life would date
from the hour he had found me.
I dreamed as I worked, and little
snatches of song rose to my lips. I
wonder if every woman longs as I
do to be all-in-all to the man she
lotesr I must mean everything to
my Jim—as he does to me.
Quickly and deftly my happy ding
ers completed their taskd.
"I win. Xeal," I cried, actually
hlppity-hopping to the door of the
living room.
There stood Xeal over by the big
carved Florentine chest. Its lid was
thrown back, and in my brother's
'hands was the shimmering blue and
green robe Tom Mason had—given
me. I dashed across the room and
tried to snatch the lustrous thing
from Xeal's hands. Rut Xeal .turned,
twisted it from my grasp and swung
the silk high above his head where
it winked at me evilly.
"Tush, tush. Barbara Anne, why
this jtnseemly haste?" questioned ;
my brother in a teasing voice.
"Give if to me? Give it to me'!" I '
cried.
"Come and take it," laughed Neal, 1

head.
"Don't tease. Neal —give it to me!"
; I cried in exasperation that was
j almost tearful.
Then his teasing look turned sud
] dently to an earnest one.
"What do you want to do with
this—thingumabob. Babbsie?"
; "I want to hide it away!"
"Hide it! From whom?"
j "From myself. Neal."
"Sure it's not from your hus
'band ?"
i "Neal! What do you mean?"
J "I want to know what you mean,
• Babbsie—having all this heavy, em
j broidered stuff made into some sort
j of a dress and hid-den away," said
3 j my brother, sternly.
And as I faced the sturdy deter
s mination in his young eyes J knew
s with relief that at last I was going
I to tell the story of that "haunted"
* | robe! And when I had told him
- j how Tom Mason had made me a
> ! gift—an unwelcome one —hut still
-j a gift—of that priceless robe, my
! I brother was • fairly furious. He
i J stormed out that I must send it back
at once, and that he'd fix any cad
i j who dared insult his sister by |
■ j forcing presnts of clothes upon her. i
, i "Xeal. you're right. You and I I
I have different standards. We aren't
1 ! new fashioned city folk, but sim
ple. homey country people—and I'm
proud of it and I'm going to be what
I am as honestly as I can. Nonf.
put the robe away. dear. I'll tell my !
husband about it as soon as he j
comes in, and then he and I together I
will send it back to Mr. Mason."
Neal kissed me, hugging me
! tight:
i "You need some one to look out
1 for you, Babbsie—some one who
understands you. Maybe it's going
ito turn out for the best that I
| came."
j This disquieted me. Did Neal
I mean to insinuate that Jim didn't un
derstand me? And why should his
owning to New York not turn out
well ?"
I tied his tie, helped him smooth
S down the rebellious waves of his
i flamboyant red hair and sent him
| off to join his "Lady Evelyn." Then
! I got out my mending and stitched
I a little ot my love into the criss
cross of Jim's socks. At noon I
put the roast of lamb into the oven,
j At one I began peeling the potatoes
i and carrots —a fine hot dinner
; should be awaiting my boy when
ihe returned —that would refresh
| him and help him over disappoint
; ment perhaps.
But there was no disappointment.
Even my boy's limp had lost some
of it's weary drag, for as he hur
j ried in a few moment's later, he
! shouted boyishly that he had a job. |-
j "To-morrow Xeal and I start off i

' ing on me. I'm inspector in a cap ;

! caps—or inspecting, but this pays |
! eighteen hundred a year and may :
lead right to the presidency."
i After our first rejoicing was over.
; I pulled Jim down at my side on the j
! big couch and told him the story of j

fort, I reached over and seized the
lapels of Jim's coat and dragged
my eyes up to his. He was smiling!
"You aren't angry?" I gasped.
Neal had been so very angry.
"Angry?" Jim swept his hands
down and caught my wrists —he
lifted them and laid a kiss in each
palm. "Poor little frightened girl—
did she think her big tyrant hus
band had shut her up in a Blue
beard tower?"
"You'd let me accept presents
I from other men?" X gasped in a
whirl.
Jim threw back his head and
fairly shouted. "Take all you can
get—kiddie. That's the law of so
ciety. Of course, I wouldn't have
you push that to extremes. But the
iebe was right here in the apart
ment and Tom threw it in as part
of the rent. He's rich —it won't
hurt' him to be a little generous to
us." '
I drew away—offended. Jim's
j words hurt me. Had my husband
no real pride for me —or for him
self?"
(To Be Continued)
A Friendly Enemy
who had coolfed for two
generations of Johnsons, could cer
tainly make sauerkraui. Crisp,
white and to just the' right degree
briney, it would have tickled the pa
lates of her ancestors in Saxony. It
could not nave been improved up
on by her old grandmother who had
brought her to America fifty years
before Also it was one of the prides
of the Johnsons' menus—-until some
over-zealous patriot sniffed at the
once popular dih and refused it.
Besides, she told a neighbor, there
must be something very queer aboyt
a family named Johnson that doted
on such a German dish!
Then the young Johnsons rose
up. *
"No more sauerkraut." said they.
"Lena is using German propaganda
on us."
So sauerkraut was interned as a
dangerous alien enemy for a week.
Then Mrs. Johnson began to think
it over. She looked up the origin
of the dish. She read the sugges
tions of the Food Admtnistation on
the subject, and the next evening
announced her stand to the family.
"In the first place," she said, "I
have found that historically sauer
kraut is of Dutch origin, rather than
German. Also, I am firmly con
vinced that it is patriotic to eat it.
and foolish not to. Cabbage is now
fresh from the garden we have been
cultivating all summer. It is exactly
the kind of food that the Food Ad
ministration 'asks sua to eat because
it is home-grown, perishable, and
not one of the staples that we have
to send abroad.
So the next day Lena began to
make sauerkraut again. She first
cut the heads of cabbage into long,
line shreds, and put them into a big
jar in layers, with salt sprinkled
thickly between She mashed each
layer down with a hard-wood
weight.
After twenty days, she took the
jar out of the cellar, where she had
put it because she wanted the tem
perature of about sixty degrees for
it, and she saw that the process of
curing was complete, because bub
bles had ceased to rise at the edge
of thtpjar.
That night the youngest Johnson
helped himself to a generous por
tion of sauerkraut, to eat with his
cold meat, and said:
"Well 1 guess old Lena and her
sauerkraut are all right after all.
And besides wasn't it silly to call
cabbage German, when it grows
right in our own yard?"

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
I Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
B.v BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Some one—a man, of course—
has written a letter asking me to
define the difference between an old
maid and a bachelor girl.
I don't know what the diction
aries have to say* on the subject, or
| if they discourse .to any extent on
! the space thta sparates these two
j states, but to the world at large
ithe dissimilarity is as the poles.
! To be an "old maid" denotes a
'state of mind rather than a con
dition of single blessedness, and is
Iby no means confined to the female
I sex. Old maids in trousers and
I Derby hats and taking pride in
mustaches and pointed beafds in
fest our street cars, professions and
public offices. The old maid may
be determined by a' tendency -.to
ossify, or turn to bone, usuallv be
ginning at the head,
j They are opposed to change of
I any sort, they like things to keep
ion in the same old rut, because
j they had always ben tha't way from
their earliest recollections.
I The genuine article, of either six,
|is more concerned with things than
! principles. A world war may be
• raging, nations pershing of starva
tion or by the sword, but the real
j .ssue of life to the gentlemanly old
I maid will be: "Are my suspenders
where 1 have them every night?"
[And to the ladylike old maid: "is
my hat on straight?"
! Their world is bounded on the
| north by "Me" on the south by "My
I Things," on the east by "What I
[Think," andon the west by "What
[I Feel About Other People." Some
times a genuine old maid marries,
but not often; the responsibilit of
seeing some one's else shdes ar
ranged at what may be an offending
'angle is too great a responsibility.
I Better go through life unloved,
[unwed, unmourned, than take such
[chances. To the simon pure O. M.
| there are really no such things as
days or the week; instead, there is
["The day 1 go to church, ride in a
[Ford, ferry or trolley, according to
my circumstances. Monday is my
-Monday, but the day I have my
[clothes washed. Tuesday, the day I
eat the last of the cold roast. Wed
nesday, the day my sweeping is
done. Thursday, the day I go to the
movies or indulge t myself in some
such recreation, etc!
"In like manner, 1914 is n-ot the
year of the world war, but the year
I set out my scarlet runners, or had I
my front tooth filled with porce- 1
lain."
"Prunes ami Prisms Preferred"
This self-centered ' product had [
flashes of patriotism, and would i
honestly enjoy buying Thrift i
Stamps, War Savings Certificates, or
even a Liberty Bond or two, but the
habit of vniesting in "Prunes and i
Prisims preferred" has been formed i
and the O. M. cant bear the thought j
of risking a change.
For very much the same reason
your typical O. M. is always an
anti-suffragist, for the compelling
motive that his or her grandmother
was one. Why they do not wear
caps and hoopskirts for the same
reason it is diffieutl to follow.
We have old maids of this type in
the Sente, House and State Legis
lature. We have always had them,
and like the Biblical poor, we shall
have them perpetually. The impa
tient reformer does not always see
it, but these reactionaries are a
valuable spur to all forward move
ments.
They are the pebbles that give |
greater momentum to the stream of !
progress. But we think of them I
and lament their presence in Tenny- ]
son's apt phrase: "A yet-warm 1
corpse, and yet unburiable." Not ]
long ago, one of these ran for the I
Presidency, he also undertook an 1
unsiiccessful pleasure excursion, at
the government's expense, for which
a certain club awarded him a, medal i
for valor. I do not know the inscrip- !
tion on this gift horse, but bearing i
his record on women suffrage in
mind, it might have read: "He has
not changed his mind -in fifty j
years,"
Some times the old maid is young, '
as years are counted, but as set as
a hard-boiled egg in the matter of j
convictions. The crown prince of !
Germany, for instance, sees a per- j
ishing world waiting for him to set I
it straight.
The Bachelor Girl
1 The bashelor girl differs frohi the ]
old maid in thflt she.is invariably]
feminine. We have no bachelor
girls in trousers and wearing mus- j
taches and beards, as we have old]
maids —and all too many of them. ""
i The bachelor girl is a spinster,
:and us progressive as the old maid I
lis ractionary. The bachelor girl
] almost always marries, and if she
[does not, it is for every reason but
.'lack of opportunity. She dresses
'well, because she realizes that a
|good appearance is the best intro
duction and while a dowdy jacket
may cover a noble heart, she real
izes it will obtain slower recogni
tion than if its nobility Were mask
ed by one that is up-to-date.
I The bachelor girl is human, gen
uine and refreshingly free from
cant. She is never a Pollyanna—
glad because an automobile ran
over her, and thereby secured her
a ride to the hospital—or some such
nonsense.
The bachelor girls were the first
- to avail themselves of the higher
education offered to women, and to
1111 the colleges and prepare for the
professions. They were the first ot
organize units in France and Bel
gium to feed the refugees, care for
the lost children and nurse the sick,
jand they went prepared for these
! duties.
! They did not invade stricken
jeountries full of futile sympathy
I and inability to speak a word of
jthe language. They ha dless of "Oh,
you poor dears," and more of "Je
pearle.''
They did, the first thing that
came to hajid, and they did it
mighty well. A famous war cor
respondent tells of a group of
them, from. Smith College, whom
he met in the north of France
helping to repatriate the peasant
ry. X ntheir wrecked and desolate
homes.
They stayed by the work till the
Huns were upon them, and then
applied the torch to the model
village that it had taken thou
sands of dollars and months of
labor to build, rather than let it
fall into the enemys hands.
And when they did leave, each
one of them came driving her own
motor truck and bearing in it a
load of helpfell natives. One girl
actually brought to shelter a
troop of terrified dwarfs, dropped
from a stranded caravan. Nok
she was a bachelor girl, modern,
resourceful, humane. An old maid
would have said, in reference to
the dwarfs: "Haven't you some
thing more pleasant for me to
drive?" -
TO be an old maid indicates a
state o,f mind, to be a bachelor
girl denotes a state of grace.
Thoughtlessness
He wore a service pin upon his
coat. Every day at the office he told
them proudly how glad l he was that
his son could be in ttie "fight even
if he himself was too old to go. Then
that the sugar shortage was surely
bringing the war home to us. "The
restaurants, you know, have been
cut down so that they only serve
you a teaspoonful for your offee
and about the same amount for
your oatmeal. I like mine sweeter,
so I've taken to buying it myself.
Then I carry it with me in an en
velope."
There was silehce in the office for
a minute. Then one of the older men
spoke up.
"My son's wife andsthe two chil
dren have come to live with us since
John went to war. Their mother's
preached to themt I guess. This
morning little John took just a half
teaspoon of sugar on his cereal. I
asked him why he did that, for he
loves sweets. What do you suppose
he said? 'Why, grandpa, we must
feed the world!' "
Again there was a silence in the
office. But the first man was a good
American.
"I guess you meant that for me,
Stanley. I'm not angry, but I think
you know that I have been behind
every move our government has
made." .
" know you have. That's just why
i couldn't understand you on this
thing. It isn't as if there weren't a
reason for it. t isn't as if the whole
thing wasn't tied up with getting
men overseas and sending them food
after they get there. It takes ships
to get sugar into the country. It
takes ships to get sugar into the
country. It's just as if you were
holding back your boy because you
wanted the ship which might take
hint over, to go down to Cuba first
and get you some sugar."
"I see!"
"I know your heart's in the right ,
place, I know you're proud that your j
son has gone and that you're able !
yourself to get in a few good licks
at home. But we've all of us got to :
learn to think in international terms
—or else the autocratic empire over
there will teach us how to think
nothing but German. I know you're
not consciously with the enemy.
You're just htoughtless—thats all.
But have any of us any right to be
thoughtless any more?"
"I guess you're right, all right. It
has been thoughtlessness. But—
well, you're right, no one has a right
to be thoughtless now. I don't like
I my coffee with only one teaspoonful
I of sugar or my oatmeal either—but
I I guess I can learn if the rest of
| oyu and even the childreh can."
i
To Save Sugar
Use fresh fruits without sugar.
Cook dried fruits without addi
tional sugar; they already contain
sugar.
Can more fruit without sugar;
put up fewer Jams and jellies.
Use leso sugar In tea and coffee;
you will soon learn to like It better.
Avoid such sugar luxuries as can
dy, cakes, chewing gum, sweet
drinks and sodas. >
Use honey, mapl£ sugar and syr
ups and i 'other sweeteners when
available.
Cut out all desserts or other dishes
that require much supar,
Illness Due to Change
of Drinking Water
When people go away from home,
or for some other reason change
their place of residence. it often hap
pens that they have a spell of diges
tive trouble. Not uncommonly it is
due to water.
We are accustomed to think of
drinking water as if it were always
the same thing—a definite compound
which the chemist would call H2O,
or two parts of hydrogen and one of
oxygen. But it Isn't.
Much other stuff is mixed with it.
For the water we drink was derived
originally from rocks, out of which it
has dissolved various mineral salts.
Among the latter may possibly be
magnesium sulphate, which is Epsom
salts, or sodium sulphate, which in
the commercial form is known as
Glauber's salts. As everybody knows,
these are medicinal.
Of course, water that contains ap
preciable quantities of such ingredi
ents Would not be potable. But other
salts, if one be unaccustomed to
them, may disagree with the diges
tive apparatus. We are in the Habit
of drinking the brand of water ob
tainable in cur neighborhood; it might
make a stranger sick.
So, on the'other hand, we may visit
another locality that has water of a
composition to which we are unused,
and it may disagree with us —for a
while, that is.
What Westerners call "alkali wa
ter" is simply water so loaded with
objectionable mineral constituents
that nobody con drink it or get used
to it. It may not even be utilizable
for cooking. Plants, actually, may be
poisoned, instead of refreshed, by it.

NO OCCASION fOR PANIC
Spanish influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has all the appear
ance of grip or la grippe, which has
swept over the world in numerous
epidemics as far back as history
runs. Hippocrates refers to an epi
demic in 412 B. C, which is regarded
by many to have been influenza.
Every century has had its attacks.
Beginning with 1831, this country
has had five epidemics, the last In
i 1889-90.
There is no occasion for panic—
j influenza Itself has a very low per
centage of fatalities—not over one
death out of every four hundred
cases, according to the N. C. Board
of Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking prin
cipally, patients in a run down con
dition—those who don't go to bed
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling of weakness and
depression. The temperature is
from 100 v to 104, and the fever
usually lasts from three to Ave days.
The germs attack the mucuous mem
j brane, or lining of the air passages
—nose, throat and bronchial tubes
—there is usually a hard cough,
especially bad at night, often times
a sore throat or tonsilltis, and fre
quently all the appearances of a
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to
others —take a purgative, eat plenty
of nourshlng food, remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry. Quinine,
asprin or Dover's Powder, etc., may
be administered by the physician's
directions to relieve the aching.
But there is no cure or specific for
influnza—the disease must run its
course. Nature will throw oft the
attack if only you keep up your
strength. The chief danger lies
in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the
bodily that there is dan
ger of pneumonia or bronchitis de
veloping, and sometimes inflamma
tion of the middle ear, or heart
affections. For these reasons, it is
very important that the patient
remain in bed until his strength
returns—stay in bed at least two
days or more after the fever l\as
left you, or if you are over 50 or
not strong, stay in bed four days
or more, according to the severity of
the attack.

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
In order to stimulate the lining
of the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid In loosening the
Phlegm and keeping the air pass
ages open, thus making the breath,
ing easier, Vick's Vapoßub will be
found effective. Hot, wet towels
I should be applied over the throat,
chest and back between the shoulder
blades to open the pores. Then
Vapoßub should be rubbed in ov4r
the parts until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and cover witli
two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths.
Leave the clothing loose around the
neck as the heat of the body liber
ates the ingredients in the from of
vapors. These'vapors, inhaled with
each breath, carry the medication
directly to the parts affected. At
the same time, Vapoßub is absorbed
thru and stimulates the skin, at
tracting the blood to the surface
and thus aids in relieving the con
gestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly thru
coughing, sneezing or spitting. So
avoid persons having colds—which
means avoiding crowds—common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc.
Keep up your bodily strength by
plenty of exercise in the open air,
and good food. Above all, keep
from colds, as colds irritate the lin
ing of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places
for the germs.
Fse Vick's Vapoßub at the very
first sign of a cold. For a head
cold, melt a little Vapoßub in a
spoon and inhale the vapors, or
better still, use Vapoßub in a ben
zoin steam kettle. If this is not
available, use an ordinary tea-kettle.
Fill half-full of boiling water, put
in half a teaspoon of Vapoßub from
time to time—keep the kettle just
slowly boiling and inhale the steam
arising.
NOTE. Vick's Vapoßub is the
discovery of a North Carolina drug
gist. who found how to combine, in
salve form, Menthol and Camphor
with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus.
Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when
the salve is applied to the body
heat, these ingredients are liberated
in the form of vapors.
Vapoßub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England
and a few Western States where it
is just now being introduced, but
in other sections of the country it
is the standard home remedy in
more than a million homes for all
forms of cold troubles. Over six
million jars were sold last year. It
is particularly recommended for
children's croup or colds, since it is
externally applied and therefore can
be used as freely as desired without
the slightest harmful effects. Vapo-
Rub can be had in three sizes at
all druggists.
