THERE'S HAPPINESS IN YOUR KITCHEN Princess Who Gave Up Court Pomp for Tiny Flat Proves } It, Discontended Wife Told. By Martha Lee Kitchen work! How many times we hear it referred to, and NwiTTi up-turned noses by women who are home makers. To their minds, it seems to represent an almost unmentionable, certainly a highly undesirable domestic activity.

Yet, we have the word of a former princess that happiness, and inspiration can dwell right in among the kitchhn pots and pans. Mrs. Arnold Ruman of New Yoi-k City is her name. She used to be the wife of Prince August Wilhelm, son of the ex-kaiser. Asa princess, with nothing to do hut look pretty, she wfts intensely unhappy. Later, when she waftdivorced, she married a man of humble means and in her small apartment in New York City was found stirring culinary dainties in the kitchen, the other day. “I am happy now,” she asserts "I have love and I have the chance to work at interesting things.” She’s simply found —the former princess—what thousands have found befpre her, that in love and service and' interesting activity lie the sense of -accomplishment which is the very rdalest happiness. Hangs Reavily Dear Martha Lee: I wish you could give me romp suggestions. I have a pretty home. but I do not take much interest in housework. I have a good deal of ktime. Shall X join some card clubs? Yet ■I do not care much about them, either. ~ TIRESOME. Why card club* —especially as you are not much interested in t,hem? If you can”not discover sufficient interests in your home circle, Joining some organization might be a good idea but as there are so many clubs, some of them with most worth-while purposes, why not select one of that kind? Who Asks Forgiveness? Dear Martha Lee: I have been .going with a fellow for over a year and I really love him. A few nights ago, we quarreled and I told him that I was quitting, although I did not mean it. He is the kind of a fellow who won t give in regardless how it hurts. Once before when we quarreled. I was the on to ask forgiveness. Do you think it is right for me to ask it this 'time? I know he would forgive me if I aaked him and I know he is waiting for me to call, but I also am waiting for him. What would you advise? STUBBORN B. Well, who's to blame?—or can’t you judge? If the quarrel was your fault, why certainly hurry up, and tell him that you realize it. If you are posltivo that he was distinctly at fault, I would not call him— the present, at least. Os course a forgiving attitude is usually the best one, but as you were' the first to make advances before, it seerris (if he is in the wrong) that it is but fair he should do so this time. Wants to Keep Him Dear Martha Ijee: I am a daily reader of your column and I would like your advice on a subject. I am going with a follow I think a great deal of. Now, shall X allow him to kiss me? Some time ago another fellow and I broke up because X would not let him kiss me. Ido not want to run an/ risk of losing this cue. Wh'at do you >.hink? BERTXNE. Conventions say that a girl should |allow only the man to whom she Is "engaged kiss her. As you do not indicate that you and this young man are engaged, I can only cite you to what is considered good form. If his regard for you has any depth, you need have no fear that you will lose him if you do what appeals to you as the right thing. t KIND WORD AT LAST FOR STEP-DADS • Vs Man Who Gives Time and Money to Another’s Children Lauded. By Mrs. Walter Ferguson Periodically, one reads eulogies on stepmothers. So far have we advanced in intelligence that Instead of presupposing that every woman -who marries a man with children is going to beat the children with sticks or feed them arsenic, we assume that she will do her duty by them. And she generally does. The wicked stepmother still exists but she is really in the minority. And all about us we have the fine woman who is winning the confidence stnd Jove of her husband’s

She Got Rid of Those Two Bad Mornings Menstruation is a perfectly natural process, but the painful'part is MEEDLESS. Long study has absolutely conquered menstrual pain. Science now offers women reliable and complete relief —in a simple, utterly harmless tables called inidol. This newest achievement of the laboratory has nothing to do with drastic, habit-forming drugs that kill pain by benumbing the whole system! Midol acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and nowhere else. Yet relief and absolute comfort come in five to seven minutes! So, why have a twinge of pain—feel "low” or even uncomfortable? Or take anything to depress the (heart or upset the system?

Stepfathers, too, should come in for their share of praise. However, we may be prone to forget their good deeds, they are often of the stuff of which heroes are made. But then, you know, we have a habit of overlooking all the fine traits of the people whom we meet every day. The good traits of the man next door are likely to be unnoticed. And next door a great many of us may see men who have taken another’s children and, because of love dt their mother, are giving their lives to the task of rearing them. Lads who might have fared badly at the hands of their own dads are oftojp boosted into decent maturity by a stepfather. And that man who gives his time and his money, and sacrifices his pleasures and his life, so that another’s children may be fed and clothed and educated has in him semethig a bit finer than mere common clay. m Certainly men go even further than this. They open their great hearts to the fatherless ones and love them as if they had been their own, becomig in' very truth the parent of their souls. Just ordinary, commonplace men are these. Brokers and merchants and doctors and ministers, and the tollers in many places, the sort we meet in every country and town. They never shout their deeds to the Heavens, and indeed do not know that tbev have done aught worthy of admiration. They are in your church, in your lodge, In your social circle, in your neighborhood somewhere, these modest, earnest, honorable gentlemen—the stepfathers of the world about whom no poems are wrlttten and no songs sung. SOLVES THE PROBLEM Individual lipsticks, tied together in a little package, are one wise manufacturer's contribution to modern life. Obviously he has attempted to solve the problem of what to do when someone borrows .your .lipstick. EVENING CAPES A few fur-lined evening capes have appeared, offering some slight competition to the straightline coat of velvet or brocade. Particularly lovely is a model of black velvet lined with ermine.

New Colors Chosen

Fourteen colors for spring knitted outerwear garments have recently been selected by the National Knitted Underwear Association. The shades are taken from the Spring 1927 Color Card of America, Issued by the Textile Color Card Association of the United States. These colors, according to the color committee of this organization, have been selected “after a careful survey of those to be used by the allied trades, including the millinery, hosiery and leather industries.” The card is divided into seven bright and seven pastel shades. "Nectar,” a muted pink lavender, favored by Paris milliners is an original modish pastel hue. "Wild Cherry,” the raspberry color, sponsored by Chanel, may be one of the leading colors next spring. It matches "Wild Raspberry" on the Jewel” is a bright, light blue harmonizing with “Blue Turquoise” selected by the Millinery Association as a fashionable shade for their winter resort modes. The Spanish note is seen in “Golden Poppy,” a brilliant orange. > An unusual shade of pinkish terra cotta tone, called “Marsh Rose” suggests the soft tints of Pompein fresco. It almost matches "Grecian Rose” on the Spring floss carcH so called because it is like the light red of ancient Grecian pottery. For sport sweaters: “Popcorn,” a light yellow, “Mother Goose,” a neutral beige tan and “Goosberry Green,” a light apple green, are fashionable shades as well as the delicate “Cameo Pink.” Blues occupy an important place. The dull, silvery "French Blue” in the more intense, indigo shade called "Liberty Blue” and the pastel greenish blue called “Vert de Gris.” These blues will be especially popular this spring, according to Margaret Hayden Rorke, managing director of the Textile Color Card Association. 'i'he colors of the Knitted Outerwear Card harmonize with the colors on the Spring 1927 Woolen Card also issued by the Textile Color Card Association and indorsed by

HIT and @nmrwß SWilliM By Anne Austin

.As Faith shrank helplessly agfunst the wall, sick with the thought of facing the bridal party with her astounding news of Cherry’s disappearance, a door to a tiny room adjoining the large vestry room opened and the rector, the Rev. Mr. Ashburn, appeared, vast and dignified in his rich vestments. "I am Faith Lane, the sister of the—the bride,” she came close and spoke in a voice so low that he stooped to listen. “Th re—there won’t be any wedding, Mr. Ashburn. My sister —Cherry—Cherry has—” She could not go on in face of his blank astonishment. "My dear young lady!” the rector refused to believe his ears. "You can’t possibly realize what you are saying! If yot; knew of any reason why this marriage should not be performed, why did you not speak out sooner?” “You misunderstood me,” Faith whimpered, her lips quivering against her clenched rlflht fist. "My sister has run away—Just half an hour ago. She ran away to keep from marrying Mr. Cluny. Will you tell him?” she begged, laying a trembling hand on his sleeve. "This is outrageous! Incredible’” The rector’s round face flushed scarlet.. “What In the world shall I say to my old friend, Ralph Cluny? I would rather face a cannon—” he seemed to forget Faith, to be talking to himself. "Heaven knows I tried to dissuade him from the first. Madness, sinful madness, for age to seek to mate with youth—" “Don’t blame me,” Faith was ashamed to feel tears gathering in her eyes. "She left a note, but—l’d rather not show It to you. It’s — it's so personal. She did not say where she was going. Please don't hope to try to find her or that she will come back,” she pleaded. "I don’t know what to do,” the rector looked about him helplessly. "It will cause a terrible scandal—nothing like this ever happened in my church before. How shall I tell Mr r Cluny? He is late —I wonder if she got word to him. But in that event he should have telephoned—” Th.* door was torn open and Bob yathaway, his blue eyes fixed wide in a stare of horror, staggered into the room. He was bareheaded and without an overcoat, the gleaming black of his evening clothes powdered about the shoulders ■with big flakes of fast-melting snow. "Mr. Ashburn—oh, Faith, Thank God you’re here!” "Bob, darling!” Faith’s strength and calmness came back in the moment of his need for her. “Don't mind too much, darling. It’s really not so dreadful, unless Mother—oh Bob!” "Not so dreadful?" There was horror and amazement in Bob Hathaway’s voice. ‘Do you realize what it will mean? Poor Uncle Ralph?” He groaned the last words. “Where is—OCierry—now?” “Nhw?” Faith questions dazedly. "I don’t know, Bob. All I know is that she ran away while I was dressing to come to the church. I don't know where she went.” "Then—" Boji dropped his arms and stood back to stare at her. “You don't know—what she did?” His blue eyes were dark with horroi\and pity. "What. Bob? Tell me! Don’t look like that! Tell me!” She dropped her handbag and flung herself against his breast, her hands gripping his shoulders. “Uncle Ralph has been—murdered,” he said slowly, almost dully. "Cherry was there —just before —oh, Faith, darling! Don't faith!” (Copyright, 192(5, NEA Service, Inc.) . NEXT—Bob Hathaway tells Faith of finding his uncle, Ralph Cluny, mnrdered after Cherry had visited him.

Soft, muted shades are emphasized on this card with the exception of a few vivid tones such as "Troubador Red,” "Monte Carlo Blue” and “Magenta Rose,” a reddish purple. Human Body Is Bargain Chemically By Hedda Hoyt NEW YORK, Dec. 9. —Man’s body is worth, chemically, ninety-eight cents, according to Dr. Allen Craig, a Chicago surgeon. We presume woman's body is worth a little less. Dressed and ready for the market, however, a woman Is worth anywhere from SIOO to several thousand. Think what clothes mean! Any of the furred animals are worth far, more than a human in its “as Is” state. A woman may gauge her worth according to the value of the garments which she wears,, garments for which animals. Insects, fish and birds pay their yearly toll. When we are feeling rather “hefty” it might be a good plan to take an inventory of our value. Here’s how an average woman would assay: Female body, taken chemically, 98c. Furcoat $350.00 Shoes, (made of calf, snake, crocodile, lizard) 10. Stockings make of silkworm cocoons 2.75 Underwear also made of cocoons 18. Kidskin gloves 3. Pearls (coated with fishskin) 20.^ Ensemble value $414.73 Os course many women would bring a higher total. But taken at our skin value we don’t amount to much. We may be thankful that we have been given brains with which to assemble ourselves into costly creatures.
