ILDRED NOBLE was expect- ing a letter from her mother, and when she found nothing but a small catalogue in the mail box that afternoon, she was so disappointed that she felt like crying. It was one of those raw, wet March afternoons which engenders in one a feeling of depression. Mildred did not need any disappointment. What she needed was diversion, The catalogue might prove amusing, although: the cover did not promise much, She sat down to look ‘it over. The catalogue, however, had been evolved from some one’s clear knowl- edge of woman's curiosity. It em- ployed the same method that an in- triguing story does when it leads you on from chapter to chapter. Though the format was as dull as the door of some houses, you no sooner en- tered in than you were enthralled. And the back pages were the best. They were in colors! And they ex- ploited bargains! There was one dress that was in- tended to arouse the imagination of a much duller person than Anthony Noble's little wife of two years. It was a blue taffeta dress, embroidered in soft colors. The artist had done so well that one could fairly see the sheen on the fresh folds of the skirt. “Fd look lovely in that,” Mildred told herself, “I wish I had it. I need a new dress to wear when we go to visit Anthony’s sister. And this is so reasonable. Only $9.98!” She studied the description and with every instant the longing for the dress grew upon her. She must have it. It was just what she wanted. “If 1 hadn't used up all my house- keeping allowance I'd send for it this afternoon,” she thought. “I'll have to ask Anthony for the money. When he gives it to me I'll go right down to the post cflice and get an order.” She felt quite cheered. A blue taf- feta dress for $90.98! Well, that was luck, indeed. She could hardly wait for Anthony to come home. It began to rain to- ward six o'clock, and when she saw him turning the corner he was bent over trying to keep the storm out of his face. ‘I'm glad I've got something nice and hot for supper,” she thought as she opened the door. The wind and Anthony fairly swept her off her feet. “Hello!” cried Anthony, as he kissed her. “Well, isn't this real weather?” Anthony was as tall as Mildred was short, a thin, dark young fellow, full of common sense and energy, Mildred was as glowing as a small pink rose. And tonight she had never seemed prettier. “Anthony, darling,” she began. “I've got something to ask you. But first I want you to have your supper.” “I want my supper, of course,” said Anthony, whom his father had nick- named “Hollow-legs” on account of his appetite. “But also, I want to know what you're going to ask.” “Wait till you've had some coffee and goulash,” insisted Mildred. Ten minutes later as she saw a slowing down of Anthony's use of the fork, she leaned across the table, her eyes sparkling. “Anthony, I want $10 to send and get me a dress with,” she said. * ow LIRR ” “Ten dollars!” Anthony’s face changed. “But why send? Don’t the stores here have dresses?” “Not so cheap as this one. TI'll show you.” She ran to get the catalogue. Anthony glanced at the picture with a cold eye. “1 like to see things I buy,” he re- marked. Mildred bit her lip. “You can see this—plain as day.” “Pictures are mighty deceiving sometimes. And, anyway, Mil, I'm short of money. I don’t see how I'm going to let you have $10 just now.” Tears sprang to Mildred's eyes. “Oh!” The simple word had re- fused her money. “I'm sorry,” He laid the catalogue aside with a finality that there was no mistaking, and went on with his supper. Mildred went back to her place and picked up her fork. But she could not eat. She could only sit looking at Anthony. She had been warned before she married him that the Noble in him must come out. And it was coming out! Anthony was going to be stingy, set in his way, utterly careless of the small needs of a woman's soul. Such was his father before h.m., If she was ever going to make a stand for her rights she must begin now. Anthony’s mother had waited until it was too late. This dress was a crisis. All depended on the way she handled this crisis. She would have the dress. Mrs. Totten would lend her the money, and she could pay it back out of her housekeeping allowance. Anthony was sufficiently generous with that. Until she had paid Mrs. Totten she would cut down their bill of fare. That would teach him if any thing could. After supper Mildred went to Mrs. Totten’s and borrowed the money. From Mrs. Totten’s she went to the post office and ordered the dress. Next day she began her new sched: ule... Lunch was a negligible affair, dinner scarcely better. But Anthony gaid nothing that day. The following day, however, he inquired mildly into such a pronounced succession of ham: burg steaks. ’ “I'm economizing, that’s all,” Mil- dred replied. “You like economy, don't you?” “A reasonable amount of it,” thony replied. “That's the Noble of it,” Mildred thought. “Economy is all right until it. touches him.” The fifth day her dress came by par- cel post. She was in a flutter. Lucky that she was alone in the house and could gloat over it to her heart's con- tent! Her fingers shook with impa- tience as she tore off the wrapping. Then something seemed to pause with- in her. The dress was a very good dress for $0.98, but it was not the dress that Mildred had visualized. She stared at it in growing distress. Then hope came—a single candlelight of hope glimmering through an immense dens- ity of gloom. She could send it back! And they would refund her money! She took it to the post office, walk- ing all the way through a sousing rain. Her spirits were as damp as her skirts before she returned. But within her was a growing conviction that An- thony had known better than she had. She stopped at the market and bought chops for dinner. Anthony should have something to his liking tonight, When, damp and subdued, she en- tered the house, she found him read- ing in the living room. “Why, how long have you home?” she cried. “Half an hour or so. to go out in such weather Mil.” “I had to,” Mildred sighed. “Well, hurry into something dry,” Anthony advised. Mildred took her parcel to the kitch- en, removed her hat and coat and went to her room to change her skirt. As she entered the room she gave a cry. For across the bed lay a dress, beautifuily blue and - exquisitely em- broidered! “Anthony! Where did from?’ she screamed. Anthony appeared at the door, smil- ing. “Why, 1 ordered that for you at Blakely’'s over a week ago. It just came today—a little surprise,” he ex- plained. Mildred ran to him and flung her arms about his neck. “Oh, darling! Shall stand you?” she sobbed. An- been You ought not as this, this come 1 ever under- How Hunters Repulsed Charge of Elephants One large elephant in a rage is enough to paralyze the bravest hunter, but when seven of the monsters charge two lone hunters it is only a miracle that saves the men. W. S. Chadwick recites his one and only elephant charge encounter in Field and Stream. “Then the native behind us careless- ly trod upon a rotten stick,” says the article, “and at the sound the two bulls and five cows came into line, facing us. A moment they stood with lifted trunks searching for our scent, and then with screams of rage they start- ed toward us. “Stand steady.’ 1 heard Ben say. ‘Aim at the center bull and give him all you've got! Work your bolt like h—17 “From behind us I heard the native call : ‘Look out, master! They're going to fight!’ and the sound of naked run- ning feet showed his effort to efface himself. “The next two minutes are rather blurred in my recollection. I felt as a beetle might in the shadow of a great boot, or a man bound to the rails in front of an express train. It seemed impossible to stop that mighty oncom- ing force! But I worked my rifle bolt desperately and placed shot after shot in the chest of the center animal of the line, while beside me Ben's ex- press roared unceasingly. “At perhaps thirty yards the two center animals—a young bull and a cow—Ileaned drunkenly against the an- imals on their right. The two on the outside left closed in, and like a troop of soldiers on parade they wheeled to the right into the forest, the left flank animals passing within twenty- 1" five paces of us! Peabody’s Great Gift The Conservatory of Music in Bal- timore is George Peabody's gift to the city of his adoption. The founder was born in Massachusetts in 1795, a poor boy. At the age of twenty he went south to seek his fortune and settled in Baltimore. tlere he laid the founda- tions of the great wealth he was some day to possess. His death was in 1869, and during his life he gave away from eight to nine millions of dollars. Stu- dents now come to this conservatory from 34 states, China, Hawaii, and Philippine islands. Phosphorus and Life Everything that lives draws the ele- ments necessary to its life from what surrounds it or envelops it. elements are found in a free state, as, for instance, oxygen or in mineral forms or water. Two of the funda- mental elements are carbon and nitro- | | straight, bending, if at all, from the gen. These, with phosphorus, are in- dispensable to the maintenance of life. Phosphorus is found in the state of phosphoric acid, combined with differ- ent metallic elengs; in arable ground its common form is phosphate of cal- cium, Evident The teacher was trying to explain to a member of the class what the word “collision” meant, and tried to illustrate: “Now if you and Fred ran together out on the playground what would there be?” “There probably would be a fight then and there,” was the unexpected answer. These | THE PATTON COURIER SWEET POTATOES IN TWO NEW WAYS Pleasant to Vary Manner of | Cooking Occasionally. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) | Sweet potatoes appear so often in the winter menus that it is pleasant to vary the way of preparing them oc- casionally, Here are two suggestions from the bureau of home economics: Sweet Potatoes and Pineapple. 8 medium sized 4 tbs. melted but. sweet potatoes, ter, 1 can crushed pine- 14 tsp. salt, apple, Select a dry mealy variety of sweet potato and cook in the skins in water to cover. When tender, cut in slices or rounds of uniform thickness, and place on a flat buttered baking dish. Pour the pineapple over the potato, sprinkle with salt, and add the butter. Bake in a medium oven until light brown on the surface and the sirup of the pineapple has thickened. Serve from the baking dish. Baked Sweet Potato With Raisins. 6 medium sized raisins, plumped. sweet potatoes. 14 cup top milk 1 tsp. salt 3 tbs. melted but- 1, cup seedless ter. Wash and cook the potatoes in their skins. When tender, scrape off the skins and mash the potatoes or force them through a potato ricer. Mix the milk, melted butter, and salt with the potato and beat until light. Pour hot water over the raisins, and let them stand for a few minutes until plumped ; then drain, and add to the sweet potato. Grease a baking dish and pile the potato lightly into the dish. Put in a medium oven to heat through and brown lightly over the top. Serve from the baking dish. Deep Sea Pie Valuable for “Emergency Shelf” Perhaps you are one of those fore- handed housekeepers who keep on hand, on an “emergency shelf” in the pantry, a constant supply of certain valuable and nonperishable foods that can be pressed into service for the unexpected guest or the day marketing could not be attended to. llere's a good recipe from the buerau of home economics to add to your special list of dishes that can be made from the materials on the emergency shelf or among your staples, 2 cups diced salt 4 tbs, butte® cod fish. 4 tbs. flour 4 cups tomatoes 2 cups mashed po- 1 bay leaf tato. 8 cloves 1, tsp. salt 4 onion 3 drops tabasco Soak the codfish in cold water until sufficient salt has been removed, and then cover and cook in fresh water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Prepare a tomato sauce by cooking the spices and seasoning with the tomato for 10 minutes. Strain, and to the tomato juice add the melted but- ter and flour, which have been blend- ed. When thickened, mix with the drained cooked codfish and pour into a buttered baking dish. Cover the top with mashed potato and bake until the potatoes are brown. Cauliflower au Gratin Is Especially Favored Almost any vegetable that is good with white or cream sauce may be still further enhanced by being served “gu gratin”, with grated cheese and buttered crumbs sprinkled over the top and delicately browned just be- fore the dish is sent to the table. Cauliflower is especially good pre- pared in this way. The bureau of home economics tells how to do fit. 1 cauliflower, medi-1 cup fine bread um size, crumbs, 1 cup milk 4 ths, butter 14 cup grated 2 tbs. flour cheese, 1% tsp. salt Select a close white head of cauli- flower. Remove the green leaves, and retain the most tender ones to cook with the cauliflower. Break the head into flowers, and wash thoroughly in cold water. Drop the cauliflower into enough lightly salted boiling water to cover, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce of the flour, 2 tablespoonfuls of the butter, the milk, and the salt. The remaining but- ter should be melted and mixed with the bread crumbs. Place the cooked cauliflower in a greased baking dish, pour over it the cream sauce, cover with the grated cheese and the bread crumbs on top. Bake until the crumbs are golden brown. from the dish in which it was baked. Serve Fried Bananas Served With the Meat Course Fried bananas are usually served with the meat course. As they con- tain considerable starch, potatoes or other starchy vegetables may be omit- ted, but cabbage, spinach, or some other leafy vegetable should be in- cluded as usual. The directions for preparing fried bananas are from the bureau of home economics, 4 ripe bananas 1 egg Yd 1% cup flour r 3; cup milk sugar remove the portions, length- Select ripe bananas, skin, scrape off the stringy and cut the bananas in half Dip the pieces of banana into wise. the batter made from the flour, milk, sugar, egg, and salt, and then roll bs.

Whenever you are cooki or any mixture in which eggs are the main ingredients, a low temperature is most satisfactory. HOW TO STAND WHILE MOPPING OR SWEEPING (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) How do you stand when you mop or sweep or oll a floor? Erect and square on your feet, with your back hips, your head in a normal easy po- sition for (inspecting your work? That’s the correct posture for mop- ping or working with any long-han- dled implement on a floor. The pic ture shows a farm woman demonstrat- ing good working posture to other members of her club in Hampshire county, Mass. The subject of good and bad posture in doing various household tasks was introduced at a home demonstration meeting by the county extension agent, and followed by a series of interesting poses illus trating good and bad positions at sev- oral sorts of housework, such as wash ‘ng dishes, handling food at the oven. and sitting to peel vegetables, as well Good and Bad Posture While Mopping or Sweeping Floor. as the job of m« It is being mu recognized that connection betwe ping or sweeping. and more widely re is an important good posture and avoidance of fat in doing any sus- tained piece of rk. Poor posture strains the mus of the neck and back, hinders the circulation, cramps the chest, and often forces the abdom- inal organs out place, and after a time may result not only in fatigue but in poor bo condition. Farm women are especially interested in whatever knowledze can be applied to their problems make their work easier and their possession and en- joyment of leisure greater. Compare the good posture in mopping with the bad one, in which the hips and ab- domen are thrust forward in such a way that the shoulders are slouched and the head is out of line with the body and the neck muscles are stretched. | TELLS OF WEIRD | liams told them. 8 6.6.8.6.8.8.0.6.60.8.8.6.4.6..8..0080.08 POOVOO® POVVOP ooo } Fight Over Milk Costs | Lives of Three Men Hondo, Texas.—An argument over a quart of milk cost the lives of a father and his sons | here.
