MARRYING AGAINST

By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY.

Am old farmhouse with meadows wide, Sweet with clover on either side; A bright-eyed youth, who looks from out The door with woodbine wreathed without. Wished thla one- thought all the day: "Oh, It I could but fly away From this dull spot the world to see. How happy I would be." What youth of one and twenty and maid of sweet sixteen if they happened to become enamored of one another would not tell you that there is just one person In the world for them, and each has met that one? It is all in vain for relatives or friends to attempt to dissuade them from their feeling. The young man declares he will leave home and all belonging to him and go out Into the world to earn fame and fortune for the girl lie has chosen. The maid declares that if she cannot wed the hero of her heart she will never, never marry. Though her lips may not complain her sad eyes will be a reproach to those who have separated her from her love for all time to come. , How the parents are to deal with such a determined young couple Is a problem. The youth's parents know that It Is his nature to fall quickly in love, and as quickly climb out of it. The girl's parents realize that the kind of man who fills her fancy at sixteen she would possibly be heartily tired of at two and twenty. They met at a ball. The girl in her tulle parry dress, white gloves, white PLAYi A ITH A PAST" JPULAR THIS YEAR Retur . . Big Leagues of Bobby Wallace, Veteran of Veterans,f Shows Trend of the Times. Major league magnates and managers are showing a strong preference this year for ball players "with a past." In ordinary times the big league pilots pay little attention to pill tossers who have seesawed back and forth from the minors to the big show. They usually break their necks bidding for the "phenoms" who spring up in the tall and uncut sticks, and they have paid some fabulous prices for this class of players. But 1017 is no ordinary year. The majors have been slow to sign youngsters and seemingly eager to jump at the chance of getting players who have had big league experience, but who, because of age or some minor defects, have failed to stick on big time. The recent signing of Bobby Wallace by the Cardinals is a most vivid example of this tendency. Bobby Wallace, the veteran of veterans; a player whose name appeared In the box Bobby Wallace. scores before Lajoie broke into the limelight, is back again in the role of utility inflelder with the Cards. His comeback marks finis to a loyciti absence from the National league, for he jumped from the Cardinals back in 1902 to cast his fortuues with the Browns; who were making their first Start in St. Louis. His long years of service with the Browns and his ultimate reiease is remembered by all fans today. It seemed only natural that Wallace should step down and out. and when he was made a member of the Wichita (Western league) club the majors bid him good-by for all time. But Wallace is back, and the owners of the Cardinals figure that he is a valuable asset. In which they are more than likely to be upheld by his work whenever the occasion arises to use him in the lineup. The return of the veteran Wallace recalls the fact that 1917 has seen a number of players in the veteran class return to the big tent while hundreds of youngsters are pining their young lives away in the bush leagues for a chance. Ping Bodle, purchased last winter from the San Francisco club by Connie Mack, has made good with a vim since his return. Harry Walter and Charley Deal, brought back from the minor leagues by the Cubs, and Jim Thorpe, recalled by the Giants, and later sold to. the Keds.j are other examples.

WISHES OF FAMILY

slippers and pink roses, looked very alluring. He has taken her home from dances, perhaps a half-dozen times and I at the end of that time proposed mar riage. Neither had peeped beyond the first chapter of the book of life. Their entire conversation had been about other girls and boyswhat a jolly good time they had had at the skating rink or barn dance. Yet these two kldlings considered themselves in love and had ! the notion that they ought to wed. The boy's father does his best to liave a serious talk with his son, endeavoring to make him understand that married life is something more than continuous love-making; that it entails obligations, such as winning the support of two, to start with ; that a pretty sweetheart transferred to the kitchenette is not always the amiable companion a youth fondly believes she would be. The girl's parents do their best to make her understand that a young man should have at least a start in life before he essays matrimony; that all love-making, rio work, would put out the kitchen fire. If, despite earnest parental advice on both sides, the young people take their own heads and marry, they have only themselves to blame for much of the tribulations that may follow. Parents on both sides should be eager for the match, then it will turn out happily.

Some Cornmeal Dishes. The rainy consistency of cornmeal is an advantage when used in griddle cakes or waflles, for it renders them very tender. Cornmeal Pancakes. Take two cupfuls of tlour sifted with a teaspoonful and a half of baking powder, with the same amount of salt. Add a cupful and a half of boil,ing water to a half-cupful ofcornmcal, cook five minutes, turn into a bowl and add one and a fourth cupfuls of milk, one beaten egg, a third of a cupful of sugar and the flour mixture.. Stir well, then add two tablespoonfuls of melted shortening. Cook on a greased griddle. Mush that has been molded makes a delicious breakfast dish, by frying the slices in a little hot fat. Cornmeal and Wheat Waffles. Cook a half cupful of cornmeal, guided very gradually to a cupful and a half of boiling water, for 20 minutes, then add a cupful and a half of milk, tli reo cupfuls of flour, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, 1 tablespoonfuls of baking powder, teaspoonfuls of salt, the yolks and whites of two eggs beaten separately. When ail is well mixed, add two tablespoonfuls of meltLess Unemployment Likely In America in Near Future As Result of the Great War At present, and in all probability in the near future, according to a report of a medical committee on social insurances reported in the American Medical Journal, this country will have loss and less unemployment, and there i; no question that with the war and with the destruction of life and peoples in Europe, in the very countries from which, in recent years, this country has drawn its vigorous unskilled labor, the immigration which has come to these shores so abundantly will enormously diminish, and there will be a dearth of labor and a rise in wages. At present, however, there is no question that even in good times the wage earners of this country are unemployed for from one-fifth to onefourth 20 to 2o per cent of the working days of the year. Those who are dependent on their dally wages have thus to consider a further diminution of what is apparently their actual wage. All investigations on the amount of wages have shown that about fourfifths of the men and nineteen-twenti-eths of the women earn less than $600 a year to support their families, and this amount of wage is not able, even in this country, to support those families on a fair standard of living. This Is one cause of the enormous mass of woman and child labor. Serenity in Thick of Broil. The environment of the commander in chief, Sir Douglas Halg, is strongly suggestive of his conduct of the war. Before war became a tiling of precise science the headquarters of an army head seethed with all the picturesque details so common to pictures of martial life. Couriers mounted on foamtlecked horses dashed to and fro; the air was vibrant with action; the fate of battle showed on the face of the humblest orderly. But today things are totally different.

Cook five cupfuls of milk and a third of a cupfui of cornmeal In a double boiler, a half cupful of molasses, a teaspoonful each of salt and ginger. Mix all together and pour into a buttered baking dish and bake two hours in a slow oven; serve with cream. Cornmeal Doughnuts. Put three-fourths of a cupful of milk and 1 cupfuls of cornmeal into a double boiler and heat together ten minutes. Add three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and a fourth of a cupful of shortening. Sift together 14 cupfuls of wheat: flour with a teaspoonful of cinnamon and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, add these and two well-beaten ggs to the meal.

The youngest member of the house of Stanley has been very much indulged, but lately the wise mother has taught him that he must not ask God for such things as he coveted. The small heir ceased praying after that for a speckled pony and cart, which a little friend of his owned. One night not long since the governor and his lady were entertaining guests in the executive mansion when the elder boy called his mother to the foot of the stairs. The visitors were amused to hear the lad saying, in a stage whisper: "Mother, I wish you'd come up here to brother he's worrying the Lord again about that Speckled pony and d og-ea r t ." liar p e r's Ma gaz i n e. units have risen from thousands to millions of men, and fields of operations stretch from sea to sea, and more ammunition is expended in a single engagement than was employed in entire wars of other days, absolute serenity prevails.

Each belligerent uses several, types, Austria as many as six.. Grenades are thrown by hand by means of a special "racket," by catapults, shot from guns and from trench mortars. Hand grenades have a range of some twentyfive or thirty yards. The grenades fired from mortars may range up to five hundred yards. The most powerful grenade is a Danish invention. It is shot from a mortar, weighs about three pounds, and in addition scattering the fragments of its case on explosion, it carries some 250 bullets.

LINES ARESIMPLE

The most remarkable event of the present season was the great "Folre de St. Sulpice," organized by the Franco-American Committee of the "Secours de Guerre." This wonderful fete was held in the courtyard of the old Seminaire St. Sulpice and it attracted immense crowds, says Idalia De Yilliers, a Paris, correspondent. Some of the dresses worn at this notable fete were lovely. None of them were really elaborate or intricate in design, for it is not considered correct nowadays to wear elaborate gowns, but the outline of the moment is essentially picturesque and becoming. Fragile materials and long, straight lines made all the beautiful women look like goddesses. For example, take the exquisite costume by Worth which was worn by the Contesse de Chabrillan, and which I have sketched. The material of the quaint, short-waisted dress was soft white tussor silk and the long coat was composed of white silk jersey cloth and pure white voile. The border of jersey cloth was richly embroidered in the same silk on the transparent voile which formed the loose sleeves. With this costume a flat-brimmed hat in leghorn straw was worn and a little bit of rich color was introduced on the band which circled the high crown in the guise of a cluster of ripe cherries. I want you to pay special attention to the outline of this voile and jersey cloth coat. It is one of the latest models of our greatest dressmaker and it indicates the styles which will prevail Short-Waisted Dress of Tussor. during the coming autumn and winter. From shoulder to hem the coat falls In absolutely straight lines and the sleeves are quite loose, the fragile materials of which they are composed preventing any appearance of heaviness. This model would be lovely copied In black silk jersey cloth and black voile, or in deep blue Charmeuse, with dull silver embroideries and blue crepe de chine. The hat shown in this sketch is onq DRAIN PIPE UMBRELLA STAND Great Convenience Where Space Is Limited, and Can Be Made Attractive When Treated Properly. A drain-pipe umbrella stand is no new idea, but a stand of this kind is a great convenience in a small hall where there is no space for a larger article, and also a drain pipe is not expensive to buy. The sketch shows a pipe treated in a novel and very pretty manner that will appeal to those who are artistically inclined, and, incidentally, decorating drain pipes in the way illustrated Umbrella Stand. might prove a remunerative occupation for the spare time of anyone who is proficient in painting flowers. The exterior of the ppe is first covered with cream-colored or white enamel, and then the floral design can be painted upon it with oil colors. The pipe from which the sketch was made was decorated with Iris; only the side which is visible need be painted upon. There are, of course, many other suitable floral designs that might be

of the latest models. You will notice that the crown is quite high and large ; also that the hat is practically untrimmed. This model in fine felt will be a feature of the autumn season.

AFTERNOON GOWN FOR FALL The coming of the fall season brings with it a stunning array of original and smart afternoon costumes, of which the one shown above is the most attractive. The dress is of gray georgette combined with dark blue satin trimmed "with dark blue beading. The combination is striking and most pleasing to experienced eyes. The hat is of blue velvet with a facing of gray gourka feathers. NEW USE FOR GIRDLE NOW Not Designed, Like Those of Other Days, to Hold Material in Position About Waist. There are interesting examples where the belt has a fringe, or at least a fringe attempt, made of hanging medallions or coins of graduated length. In this there is a resemblance to the girdle of the chatelaine, from which hung the keys of the castle or the more humble dwelling, betokening the station of the wearer of the girdle. There is this difference between the girdles of other days and those of the present.: The former were meant to tighten in the material about the waist and to hold it in position and prevent the lower part of the garment dragging on the ground. Now the girdle does not touch the waist at all, but is posed below it and has no mission whatever as regards the adjustment of the dress material. Its object is to accentuate the long lines now popular, and so long as it does this in a manner to enhance its own decorative quality nothing more is required of it. To Save Silk Hose. Before wearing silk hose rub a little wax on each toe and heel, where the I wear comes, and repeat after each laundering so treated silk hose wear as well as cotton. used, and pink roses and green leaves would look very pretty upon a cream background. WHITE FROCKS FOR STREET Revival of Muslin, Voile and Chiffon New and Unexpected Feature of Season's Fashions. It is difficult to remember when white frocks were worn on city streets in the summer as they are now. The revival of muslin, voile and .chiffon in dead white, with the addition of a huge straw hat to give color to the costume through its chaplet of flowers, is a striking note this summer, says a New York correspondent. The checked and striped ginghams, the wool jerseys, embroidered in colored or metal threads, the Scotch plaid skirts with coats of solid color, are features of fashion with which we have been familiar since May 1, but the revival of white frocks for all the affairs that are taking place in the city's life is something quite new and unexpected. Along with these white gowns are launched alluring ones of flowered muslins, Irish dimities and figured voiles. At any one of tile smart restaurants at the lunch hour a large majority of women look as if they were dressed for garden parties. Short skirts, slightly draped flounces, overskirts, simple bodices and cape collars of muslin are exploited in the kind of flowered design which we associate with tea under the trees. Sashes in pale blue, citron, heliotrope and deep yellow have come back into the picture of clothes. They are made of satin, taffeta, and, often, of chiffon. They are wrapped around the waist once or twice and tied in the traditional bow and ends at the back, or looped in Easter fashion at the side. Ostrich Trimming. Now there is a big fad for ostrich. While ostrich has always been in demand more or less, sometimes for a fan, a boa or trimming for a hat, there has never been a time within years when the feathery product of the ostrich was seen upon hat, shouldey cape and bag all at the same time.

A different man is chosen each day, and the other day the post fell to the lot of Charles E. Shafe of Indianapolis, says the Indianapolis News. Shafe went on an errank for the general, and returned just after the general had wished to speak to an oflicer in one of the other rooms and there being no orderly to summon him, had gone after the man himself. "By George," Shafe commented to the camp adjutant's orderly, a Tenth Infantryman, fresh from Ave years in Panama, "the general did some of my work for me." "Yeh, ain't that nice, now!" the adjutant's orderly returned. "Why don't you go in there now and do some of his work for him, just to be sociable?" A Turkish Love Story.
