"Ask her to come up."- I returned mechanically. And mechanically I continued to try to puzzle out the mystery of Bettys' return to town and her dis covery of us—though, of course, both would be explained in a very few minutes. Then, hoping I was going to man age it with some of the finesse that was one of the things in Jim's world I most admired. I opened the door to greet her. "This is a nice surprise." I said, whether to be proud of my insin cerity—or ashamed of it, puzzled me: but it turned to sincerity under the warm friendliness of Betty's eyes and words. She took my hand in her strong, steady white ones and I saw again that red scar under the knuckles of her right hand—that scar which stood for the new chivalry and self-sacri fice of womanhood. "One of the nicest things about coming back is seeing you again. Princess Anne,' said she.

"There's a reason why this store is so popular" 36 N.2nd.Cor.WaJirat THURSDAY EVENING, you with the dinner party you don't know you're giving!" I entered into the spirit of her friendliness and liked myself for do ing it! Then Betty explained, and I was gladder than ever that I had been decent even before Betty made it all clear: "I got back only yester day. and there wasn't a soul to help me strip covers off my furniture and make the place habitable. Terry came over to explain about the new work of rehabilitating crippled men the Red Cross wants me to do here in New York— and we were on our way to a dreary Sunday dinner in a hotel when we saw Jim running down the steps of a house over on the other side of the Arch. He took pity on us and invited us here. And I took pity on you and taxied ahead to warn you. "Now may I have an apron right away quick? The boys will l?e here in just about five minutes." In spite of my protests. Betty in sisted on taking that lavender love liness. into the realm of pots and pans. Off came the satin turban, draped high on the left, as Betty's little hats always are; off carte the cape, and Betty pinned up her chif fons and hid them away under the pink and white checks of my pretti est bungalow apron. And she looked an aristocrat even in that! "Anne, do you see much of Tom Mason?" demanded Betty suddenly. All the warm friendliness fled— started before the attack. So Jim had told her about Tom and the robe. I resented it, and all the more since my husband had assured me the whole thing wasn't worth talking about. "Why do you ask?" I warily in quired. "Isn't it natural, little friend? Here you and Jim are—established in his apartment. Tom Mason is a cad. Anne—a cad. and a —great lover of the beautiful. You're very lovely— but. surely. Jim tells you that a hun dred times a day—well, don't let the Mason-man tell you, too." Jim had not told me that he thought me "lovely" for longer than I liked to remember. I resented Betty's tak ing for granted that he spoke often of my looks, which I felt were in sad enough contrast to Betty's regal beauty. I resented her supposing that it must be for my looks and nothing else that Tom Mason liked me—and I felt myself rising up in arms at her calling him a cad. A moment before "I had been ready to like Betty, but now the barriers were up again. It is always so—l find myself ready to like her and then she's sure to do something at which I fairly must take offense. A ring at the door saved me from answering Betty rudely. I jerked the strings of her apron into a bow and ran to the door. There was a telegram—addressed to me. I signed for it and then I studied it for a moment, as if the typewritten address on the yellow envelope could tell me something about its contents. Of course, there was no reason for fright, but some how I felt terrified by that mysteri ous little envelope. Betty came to the door between the kitchenette and the living "room.

TURN HAIR DARK WITHJAGE TEA If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we -are living in an age when a youthful appearance Is of the great est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready to-use product, improved by the ad dition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound." for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, hut what delights the lgdies with Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft luster and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This rcady-to-u&e preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appear ance.

Shall I light the burners | again? The boys will be here di rectly." ■ "Please," I replied, "And will you put on some water to boil? I make !my coffee the old-fashioned way— j with the yolk of an egg." Then I crept over to the window, hid behind the curtains of apricot | silk and ran my lltt\e' finger under I the flap of the yellow envelope. Of j course. I looked first at the signa | ture—"Thomas C. Mason." At that I fell to trembling as if j with cold. But, as I stared out the | window, I could see Jim and Cap ; tain Winston coming down the street j— and I must read and digest the j message before their arrival. It was | a night letter: I "Please send blue Venetian robe to Camp Torvald, Ruyter's Landing, as soon as convenient. Arranging j pageant benefit Italian war sufferers j I Wednesday. Wish you were here j i to lend yourself to work—but lend j I robe instead to girl who will not be ! |as good Venice as you. Greetings to j you and Jim." Mechanically I began to count the j | words—just fifty! I smiled at myself J i for that, and actually laughed in re- | ! lief. How matter of fact Mr. Mason | was about the robe. His attitude i ! made me realize that he looked on the j whole episode casually—as Jim did. I had the telegram in my hands ' when I went to the door at the first j {click of Jim's latch key. I could greetj : Captain Winston without any at- i I tempts at "finesse." I did so like the ] i big. blonde Englishman, and I was | | so sure of his honest friendship for j :my boy and his kindly regard- for j ' that boy's wife. i Betty popped in from the kitchen j and I felt Captain Winston's hand j (tighten suddenly over mine as she j came into the room. Red stained his I bronzed face. "Jove. Betty, you look wonderful ! doing the .domestic," he cried. "Like j Hebe or one of those ladles from Mount Olympus. As if she'd be a good wife for a poor man doesn't she ' now, Mrs. Jimmie?" | "Yes." I gasped miserably. He i i and Jim were both lost in admira- { ■ tion of Betty in my pink apron—and (my dull little gray silk dress and I ' white "housemaid's apron" now? seemed as dingy as a November sky "Jim, what did you do with the I package?" I asked, seeking for an : opening through which to introduce { j the subject of the' telegram. "Oh. dropped it at his home," re -1 plied my husband carelessly. "Din- ( ner ready, girls?" ' "In a minute, dear—first 1 want • to tell you " I began again. ' "Come on, chef, the coffee is call- ! : ing you. I'm starved and I know i | these masculine persons will get sav- i | age If we don't feed 'em, and I don't j ! trust my touch on that luscious J I roast," interrupted Betty, tucking her 1 | arm through mine and impelling me I kitchenward.

So many girls come to Washing ton with such a fine, high-hearted to do war work that when things turn out differently from what they expected "back home" It is little short of a tragedy. Every prospective war worker should be presented with an illum linated text that reads: "Don't put I all your eggs in one basket—-even !if it is a patriotic basket." There 1 are so many more sides, to a war {job than the job ftself, and these jare the things that wear down the {fine spirit already mentioned. In the first place, there is the I enormous cost of everything, for de | spite the excellent work done by the | Food and various other commis i sions, prices continue to trill and j also thrill, around high C. The | thousand or twelve hundred dol- { lars that looked so big where there | was no surplus population to care ; for melts like a cake of ice in Au ! gust. i Then there is the landlady, who iis only human, and can see no ; merit in sleeping on the couch in | the parlor if it is not going to ] bring her in something extra. And i there is the loneliness aaid the sense of being lost among all these hust ling, bustling people unless one comes grmed with some sort of cre dentials. Forget your mackintosh, forget your overshoes, your diary, your best hat, your party slippers, but don't forget your letters of intro \ duction. They need not necessarily |be the sort of letters that insure an invitation to dinner of other so jeial favors; but at least have some "{ thing in your possession that will | insure yop the opportunity of talk j ing things over in case or an i emergency. Know where you are going to stop before you leave home and lose j no time in joining a church or war I workers' club thaf will put you in {touch with young women doing the i same work as yourself. The fol | lowing letter from a young girl war ! worker is a fair sample of some of | the things they have to contend I with. Lost Her Money. "There is considerable talk about 'why girls leave Washington.' As I a girl war worker I could explain j several bitter experiences I have {had since my arrival last June such >as having the owner of the apart ment where.

Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX .DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: j lam very much in love with a man ! whom I have known for about three | years. Lately I have noticed that he very rarely invitee me to go out. This I I know is not because he cannot af- ! j ford it. as,l am very well acquainted with his finaclal matters. Now. Miss! | Fairfax, I am 19 and considered very j I pretty and well dressed, and I like to go out and have a good time. But I 1 j can't ask him to take me. Kindlvi j advise. JEAN D'A. | I wonder if you have not shown the young man too plainly how much I ! you enjoy going out at his expense. I Men sometimes find eagerness of this i ! sort on the part of a girl disillusion- i : tng. Why not try making things : | pleasant for him. Invite him to jtur, | house, make him tea or cocoa or i I something good in the chafing dish? | Don't let him feel that you are "hold ing htm up" for all the good times. WHY NOT WAKE BPf DEAR MISS FAIRFAX I have been going with a man for over a year, but an old sweetheart of his accused me of going with some one else, which was untrue, and we had a quarrel and have not spoken for two months. He Is now called in the service and wishes to gee me and say good-by. As I thought a good deal of him. would it be proper for me to have him call at my home a-nd say good-by? T. B. I should eertainty say good-by to th# young soldier before he left. So far as I can see, there waa really no 1 grounds for your Quarrel In the first Vines, When Fresh Vege tables Are Scarce When fall came on and the fresh vegetables from her war garden were no longer available she began to grow worried. She had grown to depend on a delicious salad for the chief dish at her noon lunch eon. But by means of her cook hooks, bulletins and recollections of good things she had prepared, she soon realized that she could continue to serve salads w'hich were not only palatable and nourishing but patrio tic as well, This is part of the list which she kept for reference so that her fam ily would not grow tired of same ness in her salads: Flaked fish, celery and mayon naise. Cabbage, nuts and broiled dress ing. Beets, salmon, and boiled or ma yonnaise dressing. Chopped turnips with boiled dress ing. Cold baked beans with chopped onion and boiled or mayonnaise dressing. Apples, celery and nuts with ma yonnaise. Combinations of different fruits which have been canned whole. Potatoes and onions with dress ing. Salmon, onion and mayonnaise. Prunes stuffed with cream cheese. Chestnuts, celery and pimentoes with mayonnaise. Every housekeeper will have many more combinations which she has successfully tried out. Keep a list of them and be sure that they are all war-time salads. Our Answer Ludendorf said in defiance, "Our will to victory remains uunbroken. We settled Russia.' We will settle America." The victory of St. Mihiel was the answer of the American army. What is your answer? Remember, as surely as olir army is fighting the gray horde of Ger many's fighters, so we at home are pitted against the civilian population of Ger many. They are making every effort to outdo us in saving their country's resources so that their ar mies will be able to hold out the longest. We must dedicate every hour of every day to the task of beat • ing their efforts with our own. , Knowing this, every housewife will seize the opportunity of this golden autumn season in saving the apples and grapes. How the German women would like to have our orchards, laden with ruddy, juicy apples and our arbors covered with the long, drooping bunches of grapes! They would not let any go to waste. Neither shall we! Store the apples, dry them, can them, make them into jellies and butter. Save all the grapes you can lay your hands on by making them into the delicious jams, jellies and marmalades that will make vou for get next winter that butter is high and sugar is short. The following receipts are two de lightful ways of combining apples with grapes. The second receipt is from materials left over from the first grape and apple jelly. Grape and Apple Jelly Extract the juice from the grapes and apples in the usual way, combine the fruit juices in equal parts and boll the mixture for five minutes to every cup of juice (first extraolion). Add 1-3 cup or 3 % ounces sirup or honey and % cup or 3 ounces of sugar. Continue the boiling until the jelly test is obtained. Pour the jelly into sterilized glasses and seal. This gives a jelly of a pleasing red color and a delicious flavor. Grape and Apple Marmalade The pulp left from making grape and apple jelly may be rubbed through a sieve and combined in any proportion desired. For every pound (about a pint) of pulp add 2-3 cup or 7(4 ounces of sirup and (4 cup to % cup of water. If the pulp is already cooked and dry It may be necessary to add a little water. About (4 to (4 cup to a pint of pulp will be sufficient. If Juice has not been extracted for Jelly no water need be added for Juicy fruit.
