Food Containers
We usually think little about how our
fooil is wrapped, being more concerned
with the food itself. But very bad
wrappers or very pood ones attract our
attention. There has been such a great
improvement in delivery conditions in
the past few days thnt we take as a
matter of course the excellent,' sani
tary, attractive containers our markets
send our purchases to us in.
As a matter of fact, this subject has
been written and talked about a great
deal by producers and manufacturers.
If a man is making a first class product,
he is anxious to have it come into the
home in the best possible condition.
It as a matter of pride with him to
present it as attractive as he can. On
the other hand if a food stuff is indif
ferently good a manufacturer or dealer
will sometimes think to gloss over the
imperfections bv plentiful use of hand
some wrappings. There is a third class
of men who select wrappings and con
tainers with deliberate intent to de
fraud by false appearance or added
weight.
The United States Bureau of Chem
istry studied those points and came to
the conclusion it was well worth while
to gather data on the subject and they
found "that paper dishes eotild be made

I waste paper which may or may not be;
from any kind of material, usually from l
clean." They found, too, that wrap-,
ping paper was not subpeeted to any
cleaning process aside from the drying
:of the pulp, where heat had a tendency
to rfeduee the live organisms in the
material.
So much publicity has been given to
the matter of weighing containers with
the food in them; of wetting paper or
wooilen dishes to increase their weight
and similar things that there cannot be
a dealer in the country who does not
know what is right and what is wrong
in the matter.
There is now a splendid assortment
I of water proofed, clean sanitary dishes
J for holding butter, lard, chopped meat
ami other soft foods. The oiled or
paraffine paper protects the - food from
touching the ordinary wooden or paper
I dish when it is used as a lining and its
use should be insisted on by the pur
chaser, for there is no excuse for any
:denier not using a sanitary container.
And as for clean wrapping paper,
nothing is so necessary from the stand
| point of right living! A dealer who
! would wrap food in paper that was
anything but absolutely sanitary should
be prpsecuted, for he would do other
i things as careless and bad. House

their approval. It is a good thing to

-AH," breathed the girl from be
tween trembling lips, "don't go on. 1
shall be shown the way."
The Marquise d'Esclignac then said, 1
musing:
"I shall telegraph to England tot,
provisions. Food Is vile in Algiers.
Also, Melanle must get out our sum
mer clothes."
"Ma tante!" said Julia Redmond,
"our summer clothes?"
"Did you think you were going!
alone, my dear Julia!"
She had been so thoroughly the
American girl that she had thought of
nothing but going. She threw her'
arms around her aunt's neck with an
abandon that made the latter young
again. The Marquise d'Esclignac
kissed her niece tenderly.
"Madame la Marquise. Monsieur le
Due de Treinont is at the telephone,"
the servant announced to her from the
doorway.
CHAPTER XV.
Julia's Romance.
From her steamer chair the Mar
quise d'Esclignac asked:
"Are you absorbed in your book,
Julia?"
Miss Redmond faintly smiled as she j
laid it down. She was absorbed in but'
one thing, morning, noon and night,;
waking or sleeping: when and where |
she should find him; how he was being 1
treated. Had he been taken captive? I
He was not dead, of that she was sure. !
"What is the book. Julia?"
"Le Conte d'un Spahi."
"Put it down and let me speak to
you of Robert de Tremont."
Miss Redmond, being his guest and
indebted to him for her luxurious
transportation, could not in decency
refuse the request.
"He knows nothing whatever of our
errand, Julia."
"Ah, then, what does he think?"
Miss Redmond on the arm of her
blue serge coat wore a band of white,
in the center of which gleamed the
Red Cross. The marquise, wrapped in
a sable rug, held a small Pekinese lap
dog cuddled under her arm, and had
only the appearance of a lady of leis
ure bent on a pleasure excursion. She
did not suggest a rescuing party dn the
; least. Her jaunty hat was enveloped
by a delicate veil; her hands were in
cased In long white gloves. Now that
she had encouraged her energetic niece
and taken this decisive step, she re
' laxed and found what pleasure she
, might in the voyage.
"When we came on board last night,
my dear, you remember that 1 sat with
Robert in the salon until . . . well,
latish."
"After midnight?"
"Possibly; but I am fifty and he is
thirty. Moreover, lam his godmother
1 He is enchanting, Julia, spiritual and
sympathetic. I confess, my dear, that
1 I find myself rather at a loss as to
what to tell him."
Miss Redmond listened politely. She
was supremely indifferent as to what
had been told to her host. This was
Tuesday; they should reach Algiers
on Saturday at the latest. What news
j would meet them there? She held in
her book the last dispatch from the
ministry of war. Supposing the Cap
| tain de Sabron had been taken captive
J by some marauding tribe and was be
ing held for a ransom! This was the
I Romance of a Spahi, in which she was
absorbed Taken captive! She could
not let herself think what that might
mean.
"Robert's mother, you know, is my
closest friend. His father was one of
the witnesses of my marriage. I feel
that I have brought up Robert . .
it would have been so perfect." She
sighed.
"Ma tante!" warned Miss Redmond,
with a note of pain in her voice.
"Yes, yes," accepted the marquise,
"1 know, my dear, I know. But you
cannot escape from the yacht except
in a lifeboat, and if you did it would
be one of Robert's lifeboats! You
must not be too formal with him."
She tapped the. nose of her Pekinese
dog. "Be still, Mimi, that man is only
a sailor! and if he were not here and
at his duty you would be drowned, you
little goose!"
The Pekinese dog was a new addi
tion. Julia tried not to dislike her; for
Julia, only Pitchoune existed.
could not touch Mimi without a sense
of disloyalty.
The boat cut the azure water with
its delicate white body, the decks
glistened like glass. The sailor at
whom Mimi had barked passed out of
sight, and far up In the bow Tremont,
in white flannels, stood smoking.
"I had to be very circumspect, my
dear Julia, when I talked with Robert.
You see you are not engaged to Mon
sieur de Sabron." Tlje girl colored.
"The sentimental woman in me," her
aunt went on, "has responded to all
your fantasies, but the practical wom
an In me callß me a romantic goose."
"Ail," breathed Miss Redmond, open
ing her book, "ma tante, let me read."
"Nonsense," said the marquise affec
tionately. "The most important part
of the whole affair is that we are here
—that we are en route to Algiers, Is It
not?"
The girl extended her hand grate
fully.
"And thank you! Tell me, what did
you say to him?"
The marquise hummed a little tune,
and softly pulled Mlml's ears.
"Remember, my child, that If we find
Monsieur de Sabron, the circumspec
tion will have to be even greater still."
"Leave that to me, ma taote."
"You don't know," said the de
termined ladv ouite sweetly, "that ha
has the slightest desire to marry you,
Julia."
Miss Redmond sat up in her chair,
and flamed.
*"Do you want to make me miser
able?"
"I intend to let my worldly wisdom
equal this emergency, Julia. I want
Robert to have no suspicion of the
facts."
"How can we prevent It, ma tante?"
"We can do so If you will obey me."
The girl started, atid her aunt, look
ing up at the Due de Tremont where
he stood in the bow, saw that he
showed signs of finishing his smoke
and of joining them.
"Ma tante," said the girl quickly,
"have you brought pie here under
false colors? Have you let him
think . . ."
"Hush, Julia, you are indebted to
him for accomplishing your own de
sire."
"But I would never, never . . ."
"Petite, sotte," cried the marquise,
"then you would never have been on
this yacht."
Intensely troubled and annoyed,
Julia asked in a low tone:
"For heaven's sake, ma tante, tell
me what the Due de Tremont thinks!"
Her aunt laughed softly. "'The in
trigue and romance of it all enter
tained her. She had the sense of hav
ing made a very pretty concession to
her niece, of having accomplished a
Very agreeable pleasure trip for her
self. As for young Sabron, he would
be sure to be discovered at the right
moment, to be lionized, decorated and
advanced. The reason that she had
no wrinkles on her handsome cheek
was because she went lightly through
life.
"He thinks, my dearest girl, that
you are like all your countrywomen:
a little eccentric and that you have a

strong mind. He thinks you one of
the most tender-hearted and benevo
lent of girls."
''Ma tante, ma tante!"
"He thinks you are making a little
mission Into Algiers among the sick
and the wounded. He thinks you are
going to sing in the hospitals."
"But," exclaimed the girl, "he must
think me mad."
"Young men don't care how mildly
mad a beautiful young woman is, my
dear Julia."
"But, he will find out ... he
will know."
"No," said the marquise, "that he
will know."
"No." said the marquise, "that he
will not. I have attended to that. He
will not leave his boat during the ex
cursion, Julia. He remains, and we
go on shore with our people."
"How splendid!" sighed Julia Red

Julia trembled.

"While we are on board the yacht j

member, before the world you are

not asked you to marry him, but you
are his guest, and all I ask of you is

Tremont was coming toward them.
Julia raised her head and murmured:
"I think you for everything. I shall
do what T can." And to herself she
said: "That Is, as far as my honor
will let me."
