CONOMY and health are both Important in the food. It is not sufficient that the food be palatable and nutritious. It should also be properly cared for or it may be a menace Instead of a benefit to the family health. Certain foods spoil quickly unless kept under proper con-

'jVij — j I F~j

ditions. There are Tarious conditions that affect the wholesomeness of foods. For example, air, the dishes foods are placed in, the ice box, or. other storage places. Foods that spoil easily are milk, cream, uncooked fresh meats, some fruits a* berries, peaches, plums and some table Tegetables. It is well not to leave fresh meats in the paper that is about then) when delivered as the wrapping paper tends to absorb the Juices. Remove the paper and wipe the meat with a clean cloth that has been wrung out in cold water, and then place it in a dish. , Uncooked fish should not be placed in the ice box. Odors rise; therefore, all strongly flavored foods should be put on the top shelf of the refrigerator. Butter should always be kept cool snd well wrapped or covered, as It readily absorbs odors rrom other foods. Cooked meats can be kept better if well covered before being put in the ice box. Never put hat or warm articles of food in the ice box as they tend to lower the temperature rapidly and cause an extravagant waste of ice.

In the summer of 1914, MARK SABRE finds that he is estranged from human sympathy and understanding with the sole exception of LADY NONA TTBAR, an old sweetheart, now -nhappily married. Sabre’s pr stle and snobbish wife, MABEL, falls to understand her husbands poetic and whimsical temperament. In business he Is undermined by Jealous associates In the firm of Fortune, East and Sabre and a promised partnership Is diverted from him to TWYNING. At this point, Nona’s life with Tybar Is Intolerable and she asks Sabre to take her away. War Is declared and Sabre rushes to Inform hls wife.

PART THREE CHAPTER lir —Continued., She echoed the word. “War?” "Yes, declared war.” He was breathless, panting. She said, “Good gracious! Whatever will happen? Have you brought an evening paper? Do you know the papers didn't come •bis morning till —” He could not hear her out. “No, I didn't wait. I simply rushed away.'/ He was close to her. lie took her hands. “I say, Mabel, l*.'s war.” His emotions were tumultuous and extraordinary. He wanted to draw her to him and kiss her. They had not kissed for longer than he could have remembered; hut now he held her hands hard and desired to kiss her. “I say. It's war.” She gave her sudden burst of laughter. “You are excited. I've neve rseen you so excited. Your collar's undone.” He dropped her hands. He said rather stupidly, “Well, it's war, you know,” and stood there. She turned to her dressing table. “Well, I do wish you’d stayed for a paper.” IT. Lying awake, he thought of Nona. He had not written the letter to her. The appointed day was past and he had not written. lie would have said, during that unutterable darkness In which he had awaited it, that not the turning of the world upside down would have prevented him writing; but the world had turned upside down. It was not a board Tike’s men had swung In that appalling moment when he had them appear on the balcony. It was the accustomed and imponderable world, awfully unbalanced. Nona would understand. Nona always understood everything. He wondered how she had maintained this terrific day. He was assured that he knew. She would have felt Just as he had felt. He thought, with a most passionate longing for her, that he would haTe given anything to hare been able to turn to her when he had exclaimed, “My God, war,” and to have caught her hands and looked into her beautiful face. Tomorrow he would send the letter. Tomorrow? Why, yes, today, like all todays in the removed and placid light of all tomorrow’#, would be shown needlessly hectic. Ten to one something would have happened In the night to make today look foolish. 111. When he went down into Tldborongh In the morning It was to know at once that this tomorrow gave no lie to its precedent day. It Intensified It. The previous day foreshadowed war. The new day presented It. He went Into the office. The afternoon post had brought letters to his desk. He turned them over without Interest, then caught up one—from Nona. Marko, this frightful war! I have thanked God on my knees for you that last week you prevented me. If I had done It with this I Tony has rejoined the Guards, he was In the Reserve of Officers. And you see that whatever has been, and Is, dear, he’s my man to stand by In this. Marko, it would have befll too awful if I couldn’t, and I thank God for you, again and agrin and again— Nona. CHAPTER IV. I The enormous and Imponderable world awfully unbalanced. Upside down. Extraordinarily unreal. Furiously real. Life, which had bees a thing of events

in which there was no time, only events. Things began one day very shortly after the declaration or war when, passing the barracks on h 1) way home, Sabre was accosted and taken into the Mess by Cottar, a subaltern of the Pinks. "You must come along in and have a cup of tea,’’ young Cottar urged. ‘’We’ve got a hell of a Jabmborino on. At least we shall have tamlght. We’re just working up for It. I can't tell you why. You can guess." Sabre felt a sudden catch at hi' emotions, "Is the regiment going?" They wero at tire door of the anteroom. Cottar swung It open. The room was full of men and tobacco smoke and noise. Avery tall youth, one Sikes, vas s/andlng on the table, a glass in his hand. ’’Hullo, Sabre! Messman, one of those very stiff whiskies for Mr. f*abre —go on. Sabre, you must. Because—" He had not Cottar's reticence. He burst into song, waving his glass—‘‘Because—‘‘We shan't bo here in the morning—” Otway came In. ‘‘Shut up, you noisy young fools. What the—" Sikes from the table. ‘‘Ah, Papa Otway! Three cheers for Papa Otway In very discreet whispers. Messman, one of those very stiff whiskies for Captain Otway.” Otway laughed pleasantly. "No, chuck It, I'm not drinking. Hood, I want yon; and you, Carmichael, and you, Bullcn." He saw Sabre and came to him. “Hullo, Sabre. You've bcanl now. We've managed to keep it prettty close, but It's all over the place now. Yes, we entrain at daybreak." Sabre felt frightfully affected. He could hardly speak. The blessed gift in the war was to be without Imagination. The supreme trial, whether in enduranco on the part of those who stayed at home, or In courage on the part of those who took the field, was 'upon those whose mentality Invested every sight and every happening with the poignancy of attributes not present but imagined. For Sabre the war definitely began with that visit to the mess on the eve of the Pinks’ departure. The high excitement of the young men, their eager planning, moved Sabre, visioning what might await it all. In depths profound and painful in their intensity. His mind would not abandon them. He sat up that night after Mabel had gone to her room. How on earth could he go to bed, be hoggishly sleeping, while those chaps wero marching out ? He could not. At two in the morning he went quietly from the house and got out his bicycle and rode down into Tldboro'ugh. He was Just in timo. The news had been well kept, or In those early days had not the meaning It came to have. Nevertheless a few people stood about the high street in the thin light of the young morning, nnd when, almost Immediately, the battalion came swinging out of the Market Place, many appeared flanking It, mostly women. ‘‘Here they come!"

THEY WERE MARCHING AT EASE, THEIR RIFLES SLING. Frightful words 1 Sabre caught them from a young woman spoken to a very old woman whose arm she held a few paces from where he stood. Frightful

Our First Year Chapter XVl—Men or Wife More Unfair? nr A BRIDE.

START THIS TODAY— The bride who has agreed with her husband that marriage should not Interfere with individual liberty, Is asked, at luncheon with fiv/j girl friends, to give her opinions on love and marriage. It Is bard for me to speak to others of Intimate persona! matters. And so I answered Bonny by quoting things my mother had told me. Mother believed that if women are ever to realize love's finest promises, if ever we are to drag love to higher levels, we will have to ; pull hard snd pull together. Suddenly ! I found myself quoting, as well as I , could, some of my mother's feminist no- : tlons t j “Bonny, dear! Life holds a lot of ! marvels. But we girls see only one. It’s love. Wo dream about It, exalt It, ! until It fillt. every corner of our minds. “Untt 1 It rules everything we do. | That’s the ancient way. It's alluring. It’s delightful for a while. Men have wanted It so—for women. “But It hasn't made women happy! And when love falls—there's nothing left for most of us. That's silly. Men don’t talk love so.” While I paused, feeling for a satisfactory conclusion, Jeanne spoke i “Peg means wo girls vision love and the lover too magnificently. We exaggerate. And when our prince turns out a common man we—we're aorel We blame him. “We’re all like George Bradshaw's divorced wife. First we endow a lover with wonders ho hasn't got. And then we blame the husband because ho Isn't what we thought him. Girls, we're Just as unfair to men as men are to us. Just as unfair. Only in a different wayi*

But what was I to do, with six for luncheon? Only odd cups, and thede wasn't the least sense in buying more odd cheap cups which I would loathe. And so, Impulsively, I had stepped to the phono and had ordered six cups and saurcers, and a salad bowl and six plates to match the Wedgewood I already owned.

GRANNY AND DEBBY SWAP FROCKS

A modern grandmother discovered one day, during the wdnter of 1922. that her very newest frock, a gray Canton crepe, was missing from her closet. She hated to suspect any of the maids, faithful creatures of long service. But th gown was undeniably missing—until ‘®tiinner time. In walked the debutante daughter of the household, charmingly arrayed In grandmother's new frock. Special fashions for older women are no longer necessary. Debutante daughter and mother and grandmother can each find In the prevailing modes of file moment something suitable and becoming. and indeed, if all three generations have approximately the same figure, as is so frequently the case, the same gown might bo chosen by any of them. The always graceful surplice effect, so flattering to the face and neck, has been

SISTER MARY’S KITCHEN Templing Asparagus Dishes

F you have ever eat~T| en asparagus absoI lutely fresh from i the garden you II know that the WzS wf // 1 taste is very differ- \ II j e „t from that which 7 7 II has been cut for I | forty-eight hours. TVs Ii But if the woman VV# I who Is depndenton I, 1 city markets for 1 her fresh vegeta■i<w / bles will take a few ~fS \ precautions she will _i—fl n( j herself well paid. As soon as the asparagus comes from the market unwrap It and wash It carefully. Do not trim for cooking. When the water the asparagus Is washed in is clear, lift the stalks from the water and wrap loosely In a soft towel. Let stand in a cool place for several hours. This will freshen and crisp asparagus in a truly remarkable fashion. When ready to cook snap off tough ends and remove the coarse scales from the stalks. Sand and dirt lodges under the scales and It Is impossible to make asparagus perfectly clean without removing them. CREAMED ASPARAGUS ON TOAST. Two bunches asparagus, three tablespoons butter, two tablespoons flour, two cups milk, one-balf teaspoon salt, oneeighth teaspoon pepper. Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Tie in four small bundles. Stand the bundles with the heads up In a deep stew pan. Pour in boiling water. Dn not cover the heads. Let them remain about an inch out of water. Add one teaspoon salt and boll ten minutes. Add enough more boiling water to cosier the heads and cook ten or fifteen minutes longer, till tender. If asparagus is cooked thl3 way the

dlanapolis who will leave Friday will be Mrs. T. C. Howe, Mrs. Henry C. Thornton, and Mrs. E. J. Edgar. A subject of much importance to Indiana women which will be discussed at one of the sessions is an amendment to the constitution. Under the present constitution, any woman of the age of eighteen or over, “who Is a deseendent of a man or woman who gave unfailing loyal service to the cause of American Independence, as a recognized patriot, soldier, sailor or civil officer in one of the several colonies or States, or of the United States Colonies, may be a member of the D. A. R. ’ The proposed amendment which the Indiana women are opposing, provides “any woman eighteen years of age or over, who la a deseendent of any person who rendered material aid to the cause of American Independence, may be a member of the D. A. R." regardless of whether that person was a patriot, soldier, sailor or a civil officer.

nsed in the development of the two designs sketched today. Either design, is entirely suitable for grandmother, her daughters, or her granddaughters. And suitability Is the keynote of style. SMOKE. In frying, many housewives are annoyed by the smoke from the frying pan that enters the room. If the kitchen window is opened at top and bottom, a draft will carry out this smoke almost as fast aj it Is produced. WRAPPING PAPER. Keep the wrapping paper in which your material comes from downtown stores. You’ll find good use for it—such as laying on wet kitchen floors and wrapping various articles for storage.

beads are tender but not mushy and broken. Remove from water and place each bundle on a square of hot buttered toast. Cut and remove string and pour over the sauce. To make the sauce, melt butter. Do not let the butter bubble. Stir In flour and cook and atlr over a slow fire for five minutes Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper and pour over asparagus on toast. If this ts being served as a company luncheon dish, garnish with strips of pimento. PLAIN BOILED ABPARACS. Prepare asparagus as in preceding rule. Cook in boiling salted water for twenty minutes, allowing the heads to stand out of water for the first ten minutes. Remove from water and put each bundle In a lemon ring. Cut and remove string. Pour over melted butter and sprinkle with asparagus. This is perhaps the most attractive way to serve asparagus as a dinner vegetable. ASPARAGUS, COUNTRY STYLE Wash asparagus and cut In inch lengths. Cook in boiling water for twenty minutes. Add one-half teaspoon sa’.. for every cup of asparagus. Cook In Just enough water to prevent burning and do not add the salt until the last ten minutes of cooking. When the asparagus Is tender and the water Is nearly boiled away add onequarter cup cream.

WOMEN MUST SECURE FACTS Stump Speakers Too Often Have Personal Interests in Their Minds. BY FRANCES GORDON DENNY. A distinguished foreigner once said that Americans depend to* much on oratory to mould their opinijns; that their public offices are filled by men who can make speeches rather then by men of judgment and ability. Tbe criticism of foreigners is not always palatable to us, but we can learn, something from It, and it is worth \vhilo( to ask ourselves to what extent we are fgking the say-so of others on matters of public Importance Instead of seeking information at first hand. Just what is the basis o’ our opinions —especially our political opinions? Do we accept them ready-mtde from the lips of professional propagandists? Do we let them accumulate haphazard in a clutter of campaign slogans and political gossip? Or do we arrive at our conclusions by Intelligent reading, investigation and comparison of ideas? These are questions of special interest to women since they have acquired the responsibility of the ballot. It is a long time since Goldsmith wrote the lines “For Just experience shows on every soil “That those who think must govern those who toil.” Things have moved forward a little since then; the toiler js doing some thinking for himself and his influence weighs heavily on the body politic. But he is and always will be the one most exploited by oratorical spellbinders. Perhaps women, as a class, are regarded as next in line. And this not so much because they are considered mentally inferior as because of their Inexperience, their apathy and the susceptibility of their sentiments. Tbe excuse for the avalanche of oratory that Is the outstanding feature of every campaign has always been that It is designed to give Information to those who have ont time or opportunity to Investigate for themselves. That would Jbo all very well If the speakers confined themselves to really giving ont information Impartially and without political But when we remember that the one pui pose of the campaign orator is to pu? this party, and generally himself, into power, and that he must present only the things that may tend to that end, the chances are that If we follow his lead too Implicitly we shall be voting his opinion and not our own, One of the arguments most emphasized in favor of woman suffrage was that women would bring anew phase of public conscience Into politics; that they would not be Influenced by the demagoguery that entered so largely Into the conduct of affairs by men aione. It is as yet too early to say to what extent this leaven Is working. But of one thing we may be sure: its effect will be negligible Is women are bontent to follow along in the beaten path laid out for them by partisan politicians. No conscience, either public or private, is to be developed by passively accepting the dictum of mere vote catchers. In these days of newspapers and periodicals we may all learn at first hand the history that parties and candidates are making for themselves from day to daq. It may not be as Interesting reading as some other things, but the responsibility Is on us. We asked for it. We got what we asked for. We must make good.

Fashion Notes

Paris Fashion—The backless bathing slut threatens to be all the rage at the beaches this summer. Th suits will lie cut V-share and, those on exhibition in the shops here, are very attractive. Mme. ‘ Spanerri, the actress, on seeing one recently, said she would not care to appear so brave as the backless suit would make women look. Ask for an explanation, she said: “Ze wearer, she show so much backbone.” Paris Fashion—Women are beginning to affect the monocle here. I saw three using the little glasses on Rue de la Paix recently and immediately I consulted au oeeulist. “They are just for effect,” he said. “Plain, harmless glass.” All the women I have noticed wearing them have had them in their left eyes. How far the fad will go remains to be seen. Paris Fashion—The old-fashioned garter—the elastic circlet—has come back. Stockings equipped with them at the tops, can be bought. They are meant for wear Just below the knees. A prominent physician here has declared this garter. He says it hinders the ci®g culation of the blood. ” Paris Fashion —Monograms are being worked on corsets now. They appear usually on the left side. They are put on when the corset Is purchased. New York Fashion—The Easter parade on Fifth avenue this year should be interesting, providing the day is a clear one. It will be seen that skirts are from six to ten Inches above the ground and the trim waist will be in evidence. A picture of the parade of twenty years ago shows the skirts touching the ground. There is nothing more changeable than women's styles, unless it is woman. NEW YORlt NOTES. Amelia Bingham, who has always been noted for her figure, told the members of the Dort Club the other afternoon that she had worn a corset ever since she was 15. Some of the girls are affecting flowing ties, such as are seen on th elong-halred men of Greenwich Village. They are # usually worn with sport suits. A Park avenue woman has had six pairs of pyjamas made for her Pekinese. The dog never wears a pair more than two nights; then it goes to the wash. Cleo Mayfield, one of tile best-dressed actresses on Broadway, has all her gowns made In Hutchinson, Kan. cellar windows. The cellar windows should be opened regularly every day, so that cellar odors be eliminated as much as possible. Two open windows—one at each end of the cellar—will allow a draft to purify the atmosphere. BCTTONS. To keep buttons from falling off, g them on with a much smaller button on the wrong side. This makes for neatness and good appearance, beside# strength. ONIONS. Immerse onions in a pan of water while peeling them. If this is . done the onions will not affect your eyes.
