She Married An Average Man

BY ZOE BECKLBY

I have two great things to be thank ful for. Jim and I have had our first quarrel and survived it. And Jim and I are in our new home the darling

little bungalow I used to dream ot living in, as I watched it being built, before I ever knew Jim. The misunderstanding (I hate the word quarrel) perhaps is best forgotten. But I prefer to remember it and make it count, learn something from it. What I suffer from our clash is a certain disillusionment. What I learn from it is that no one is perfectly consistent; that one must take certain little shocks and jolts with a serene philosophy. One must not feel the end of the world has come because of one disappointing revelation. I pray that in later years, when T read what I now am writing in my diary, I may do so in laughter and not in tears. We got into the little house a week ago. Jim finally shortened our honeymoon a week to please me. Sounds absurd for a bride to hasten the end of so roseate a period of her life and love. Perhaps, as Jim says, I am "shy on romance." But it isn't that. 1 got deadly tired roaming about the strange towns alone while Jim attended conferences and booked engineering contracts.

Besides, I have been too busy a girl, always, to enjoy week after week

of idleness in strange, uninteresting

hotels. I wanted to begin to live I

wanted to start my home and my new work as helpmate and housewife.

For a heavenly week we shopped for furnishings for our bungalow. Last

night it was finished. Dear little fresh curtains at the windows, our

best-loved pictures on the walls;

books everywhere, and the flowera that Jim sent. There was a great crackling log fire in the living room that made the orange lamp dull by

contrast. My heart was bursting with joy

I actually felt sorry for everybody else in the world. Perhaps I ought

to have known this "uplifted" feeling

presages trouble; I've noticed so often

that it does.

Then on our first night in our

home Jim telephoned he had to go

out to measure on some mining prop

erty and could not be home for

dinner!

I cannot see why Jim attaches such importance to business details. He admitted later there would have been no material loss if he had waited till the next day. Of course, I had not told him I was going to prepare a wonderful dinner. Nor cautioned him especially to get

home at 6. It never occurred to me he wouldn't just naturally come, uuder the circumstances. Jim in most

things Is the essence of Eentiment ana

thoughtfulness.

WTe had rather a horrid time of it,

and I am ashamed to record that l

cried like a baby. But Jim was so

naive about it all-seemed so honest

ly surprised at not being praised for

his business ability, that was so con

trite that the thing was all lovingly

smoothed over.

But it has left its scar. Why is it not just as important

for husbands to cherish the bloom on

their gallantry as it is for wives to keep their persons spick and span and

pretty? Brides are always being

warned not to "disillusionize their husbands by appearing in "curl papers and cream." But no one cautions men to beware of spiritual negle-

gence. I cannot help wondering, with a

quake in my heart, if Jim will often

disappoint me as he did last night. (To be continued.)

Household Hints

CANNING AND PRESERVING. String Beans String, wash, drain and weigh tender young string-beans.

Large beans may be broken into two- J Inch pieces. Blanch in boiling water from three to five minutes, and cold dip for one minute. Pack into sterilized jars with a twoInch layer of beans on the bottom. Cover with a layer of salt. One-fourth

of a pound of salt is allowed to a pound of beans. Continue packing into the jar alternate layers of salt and beans placing a layer of salt on top. Pres3 the beans firmly into the jar with a wooden potato masher. Dip a cork of suitable size into melted paraffine when the paraffine hardens use the cork to weigh down the beans. The rubbers are greased with vaseline to prevent the salt from oozing out. Then apply the rubber and seal. For larger quantities crocks and kegs may be used. When the packing is completed the surface is covered with a clean cloth larger than the top of the container and a board or glazed plate. A weight is then placed on top to keep the vegetables under the brine.

By next day if sufficient liquor to cover the vegetables has not been extracted, pour In enough strong brine to cover the surface around the cover.

(For the brine use one pound of salt to two quarts of water.) The use of yellow or pitch pine for the wooden weights and sandstone, limestone and marble rocks is advised against. Either melted paraffin or cotton-seed oil should be on hand to

pour over the surface of materials that

are to be fermented. Green Tomatoes Select well-developed green tomatoes. Wash drain, and pack them into containers. Cover with a weak brine made as follows. Threefourth cup of salt, one cup of vinegar to each gallon of water. Put in a moderately warm place to ferment. Then remove to a cool place and seal with hot paraffine. These may be kept the entire winter, freshened as a salad or made into a relish or green tomato mincemeat. String beans and cucumbers may be treated by the same method.
