1 w Speechless Wooer Not Popular

By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY.

Oh, when he come again, In the old glad "way, I will smile and take his hand, What were there to say? I will droop my cyos and smile. For my soul would be Like the peace of summer noons Beside the sea. It would make the world laugh were It to hear or read all that I do about courtships good, fair and Indifferent from anxious women who whisper their heart secrets to me. I often wonder how it Is that some lovers are able to win the obJe-fn of their hearts' desire, they stumble through courtship so clumsily. I find that not one young wots&n J. - a V.nn'lKr'.J out; ol u nuu ii j really admires the bold wooer. Lovemaking, above ev erything else, should be done with the greatest delicacy, adroitness and reverence. The young man who calls a score or more of times without the slightest kind of a hint to the girl who Is spending her evenings entertaining him that he is interested in her a notch farther than friendship should not expect that the flame of hope which he has probably lighted in her breast Is to burn continuously without fuel. There Is another kind of man who is a puzzle to the cleverest of women he who delights to have the dearie of his choice all to himself after blurting out a few words In which he has popped the question, but never afterward referring to the subject, content Some Mysteries of Turkish Censorship Are Explained In all letters from America the Turkish censor seemed to take the most personal Interest, writes Arthur Ituhl In Collier's. At the end of one letter of mine from New York he wrote In pencil: "Please not so long. Censor." One day I had the pleasure of meeting him, or at least that part of him which handled English correspondence an Oxford Turk who could speak Engl i si i as well as anybody. "Fancy," said he, "a woman takes a donkey ride over in Anatolia somewhere, and writes her husband sixteen pages about it. Well, now, no one could read that I" So his young men read the first page and the last, and the rest they simply lifted out and into the waste basket! This explained it those curious letters people had been getting with a start and a finish and the rest all gone. Imagine yourself, for instance, separated by five thousand miles and a continent covered with war from those you care about most and then getting n letter: "I feel it my duty to tell you the real truth. . . then a gap and the conclusion: "If you act at once, there may still be time. Yours sincerely. . . ." It wasn't that the censor objected to the middle of the letter, but there wasn't time to wade through all, and he merely sent what he could read. Things That Are New. - A Massachusetts inventor's automatic fire alarm can be attached to the electric lighting circuit In a building to utilize it to ring a bell. To water trees on city streets a German forester has invented a perforated metal ring to be buried in the ground above their roots, and opening extending above the ground to receive water. A German patent has been granted an American inventor of a talking machine connection for dairy machinery, the noises of which, he claims, is so monotonous it Impairs the efficiency of butter makers. In a new desk calendar the dates are carried on a reel In such a manner that 13 weeks are visible at a time and the background causes the figures for any week desired to appear more prominent than the others. A method for freezing fish, patented In Denmark, by Immersing them in a cold liquid, is claimed to preserve them in more perfect condition than air freezing as the fish is not dried nor broken by ice crystals. A Butterfly Negligee. Among the simple, easily washed, yet dressy negligees is one of white dotted voile, made with a huge butterfly-wing effect over the shoulders, forming the sleeves. This is made of two oblong pieces of the voile, one laid over each shoulder, forming a V at the throat and long pointed ends back and front. A long, slender bow marks the joining of the pieces at the back, and a similar bow with ends fastens the negligee in front. The deep points are finished with dull blue silk tassels. When the arms are lifted, the butterfly effect Is very pronounced, and when the arms are down the wings full in softly folded line?.

to be In her presence, holding her hands, but speaking never a word to break the awkward silence. The world would scarcely believe that fully a third of all lovers carry on their courtship In this manner. Someone has somewhere said that "lovers have no need of words," but from all I learn from letters, or hear about, the speechless courtship Is not popular with womankind. They want to hear something about the wedding day when they may expect It to roll around, what the plans are for the future, where they are to live, If his folks are reconciled to the thought of losing a son, even though they, thereby gain a daughter, and so on. She silent, speechless lover keeps his sweetheart continually wondering if he Is still as much In love with her as he thought he was or If he can be regretting their betrothal and Is taking this means of causing her to weary of the bonds and suggest severing them, ready to jump at the proposition, or If anything has transpired to

have changed his plans or prospects. He is an enigma, a riddle she would give much to solve. Sitting by the hour In utter silence, holding hands, will in time get upon the nerves of the most phlegmatic of women. Such lovers are the kind who do not think it amiss to carry on this manner of so-called courtship year In and year out until the girl's relatives or friends consider It high time to cause him to speak out and tell what he Intends to do. Spirited women are more apt than not to weary of such a companion. It becomes a hard proposition to them to wonder if it would be best to stand that sort of companionship for life or whether or not some other man might prove more congenial. Speechless lovers mean well, no doubt, but they should not be surprised if a more agreeable man cuts them out. Smiling Away Appendicitis. Specialists at Johns Hopkins university have joined the "Keep on Smiling" cult. "Worry, and you will get a pain in the side," they say. Appendicitis is the medical term for one kind of pain in the side. These thoughtful and Inquiring doctors, indeed, have reached the conclusion that mental depression Is one of the most frequent causes of appendicitis, since worry and faulty mastication usually blend, and bolting one's food leads directly to disorder in the appendix. So they recommend smiling and similar lightminded diversions. The public in general welcomes such admonitions. For the public does not particularly enjoy going to a hospital to permit a surgeon to explore and readjust its interior appurtenances or fixtures. Almost everyone would prefer smiling away appendicitis to being tinkered with and whittled by a busy surgeon. One suspects that there is a great deal of good sense in the Johns Hopkins doctors' free and wholesome advice, which ought to be well digested by everyone. Mother's Cook Book. The mother who uses her intelligence to keep up with the world, Is the mother who will retain her influence." Rice in Various Forms. Hice is such a wholesome food, especially good for children, that it should be served of tener and in greater variety. Peas and Rice. Boll a cupful of rice and a pint of green peas separately or they may be equally good as left overs. Chop two onions fine and fry In butter until light brown. Add the cooked peas and rice, season with salt and pepper and serve hot Boiled Rice Pudding. Wash a handful of rice, add a cupful of stoned raisins, cut in halves, add a little salt, tie In a cloth, leaving room for the rice to swell, and drop Into boiling water to cook two hours. Serve with hard sauce. Savory Rice. Fry a tablespoonful of chopped onion in two tablespoonfuls of butter until it is light brown, add a cupful of rice and cook uutil it is slightly colored, then add a pint of chicken stock and cook in a double boiler until the rice is tender. Rice With Fruit. Rice is especially good with peaches, pears, or In fact any not too acid, fruit. A small mold of plain cooked rice, garnished with sliced fruit or berries with cream and sugar makes a most satisfying dessert. Meat and Rice Loaf. Line a buttered baking dish with rice, fill with seasoned chopped meat and cover with rice, then cook by steam or in the oven for SO minutes, unmold and serve with any desired sauce, such as tomato or an onion seasoned brown sauce. Rice a La Riston. Finely chop two thin slices of bacon, add to a half of a medium sized cabbage, finely chopped, coyer and cook slowly 30 minutes. Add a fourth of a

HERE'S ONE OF REASONS WHY. EVERS HATES UMPS

Captain of Braves Telia About RunIn He Had With Official in Game at St. Louis Several Yeara Ago. Johnny Evers tells about a run-in he had with Umpire Iiigler at St. Louis some years ago. "The fans In St. Louis always rode me there," said Evers, laughing. "They never seemed to let up on me. They'd call me a crab and all that. It was a bit annoying, but I iald no attention to them. "Finally, one series, wc were playing our last game with the Cards. It came, to the ninth Inning and we Cubs were ahead something like seven to one. It was easy going for us, but still those fans continued to ride me. fl vmmm MSWMiSSsCi.:. : :: In! Johnny Evers. "Two were out and none on base In that ninth when I came to bat O'Connor was catching for St. Louis and Rigler was behind him, umpiring. "I turned toward those fans and, in an undertone said: 'You big stiffs, you.' "Like a flash Itigler was on me. 'Get out of the game,' he ordered. I was amazed. "O'Connor took off his mask. 'I say, nobody heard that but you and me, Itigler, he said. "'Can't help it,' said Rigler, 'he can't get away with that stuff when I'm around.' "Out I went to the clubhouse, although two were out and we had the game cinched a mile. As I strolled away I heard those fans yell joyously: 'Aha. So you got It at last, eh? Aha !' " Although Evers closed his story here, It was evident that this was merely one of the many reasons why he has little use for umpires. cupful of cooked rice, one-half a teaspoonful of chopped parsley and salt and red pepper to taste. Moisten with half a cupful of stock nnd cook 15 minutes. Rice Jack. Boll together a cupful of sugar, a cupful of molasses, and two tablespoonfuls of water. When nearly done add a tablespoonful of butter and a quarter of a teaspoonful of soda. When a soft ball is formed as it is dropped In cold water, pour it over three cupfuls of puffedrice, spread In a buttered dripping pan to cool. Hosiery Hints. Frequently when the feet seem cramped, the blame is placed on the defective shoe size; but it will be found that in many instances the trouble lies In the wearing of too small a i stocking. The marking of sizes varies quite a little on both stockings and shoes. A safe rule to follow is to patronize one shop when the latter has been found reliable and the size called for is neither too large nor too small, but is comfortable in every particular. It is a mistake to wear footwear that is too large, although the criticism is usually against the adoption of small sizes. So much of the good appearance and the comfort and happines of women depends on the nice care of the feet, that too much attention cannot be bestowed on the pedal extremities. The Flag of Denmark. The flag of Denmark is a plain red banner bearing on it a white cross, and Is the oldest national flag now in existence. For over 300 years Norway and Sweden were united with Denmark under this flag. In the year 1219 Kind Waldemar of Denmark, when leading his troops to battle against the Livonians, saw or thought he saw a bright light In the form of a cross In the sky. He held this appearance to be a promise of Divine aid, and pressed forward to victory. From this time he had the cross placed on the flag of his country and called It the Dannebrog the "strength of Denmark."

New York's Police Have a Money-Making Machine NEW YORK. New York's crime curiosity shop, which is located at policy headquarters, gets some queer tools of the underworld. Probably the most curious thing now in the possession of the property department is a "money-;

match that In the machine, and held in place by springs. The operator, who has noted the number of the bill, then informs tho victim that he has made $1 bills up to a certain number, that which he announces being one figure under that of the concealed bill. Then he takes a piece of paper of the exact size of a bill and puts it in a developing tray, into which he pours what are supposed to be chemicals. The liquids, no doubt, are colored water, though the names on the bottles never would appear in a laboratory. When the paper lias been thoroughly soaked it is wrapped in tissue paper to deaden the sound which might be made by the falling false bottom, put in the machine, the cover put in place and the machinery started. The hand on the gauge moves, the machinery buzzes, and after the various switches have been used to heighten the effect the red light is made to burn, showing that the new money has been made. Then the springs in the cover are touched, and as it is lifted off the soaked paper has disappeared and nothing but the brand new $1 bill with the proper number upon it is to be seen.

St. Joseph Man Tells the s

T. JOSEPH, MO. The flight of the hours is marked on the dial of C. W. Humberd's watch by the faces of his ten children and by -his own face and

the face of his wife. Tiny photographs Roman numerals. Every time Mr. Humberd who is a grading contractor of St. Joseph looks at the time he sees his whole family. - He is one o'clock and his wife is two. The children are arranged in the order of their birth, beginning at three o'clock with Carl, who is thirtyfour, and continuing through Calvin, Albert, Bertha, Glen, George, Eva, Robert, Vernon and little twelve o'clock Edith, who is three and the

youngest of the family. The watch was made especially for Mr. Humberd several years ago, and he is so used to it that he can tell the exact time at a glance. He arises at Albert o'clock in the morning, has luncheon at half past Edith and is usually home by Bertha. If he refers to the watch a score of times throughout the day he is reminded each time of his loved ones and there is little chance that he will ever forget his family in the rush of business. The idea of putting the family in tho watch occurred to him as a sentimental novelty, unlike anything he had ever heard of. His work as a grading contractor carries him out of town frequently, but he reports he is not so lonely as he used to be since he feels that he can take a glimpse at his youngsters any time he cares to without attracting outside attention.

Watermelon Cabarets

It's a great revels and afternoon watermelon comfort to be where people sing and

dyed it green and sprinkled it about his floor to simulate grass. Then he installed a tinkly-um-tum piano with a convenient slot for nickels, rolled in a stock of melons and threw wide the doors. Dallas took to the idea at once and it has now spread to scores of cities in the Southwest. Theatergoers, shoppers and the well-known tired business man paused, with memory parading before their eyes the vision of watermelon days gone by, and stopped to patronize the place The store's success spurred other business men to follow the pioneer watermelon cafe owner. Other similar resorts sprang Into being until the streets today are conveniently dotted with them. All the old-time left hooks and right jabs are fair in consuming watermelon in public. The approved rules, however, forbid grappling with the fruit, contestants being expected to preserve a neutral territory between themselves and the berry. The watermelon cabaret will stay In the Southwest eo long as the melon supply holds out. And the best of it all is that physicians approve the dissipation.

In fact, he was a cherubic lovely looking man. Having run out of adjectives here goes for the punch in the yarn.

"What's the matter, sport, 'fraid I'll soil you?" said the newcomer.

"No. Not at all," said the lovely man quietly. Silence between them for several blocks. But the roughneck was doing something out of his usual line thinking. Finally he turned about toward his neignbor. "You dudes make me sick. I suppose you've got a powder puff on you somewhere." Then it happened. The well-dressed man laid down his newspaper, grasped the annoyer by the scruff of the neck, landed two blows between the eyes, dragged him to the door of the car, rang the bell for a quick stop and kicked him off just like that. Then he returned to his newspaper. A curious person followed him to an oflice in Longacre square. He entered a door on which was lettered in gold : "Physical Culture Expert."

It is the faces he sees in between that cause him all his troubles.
