So you must be patient with me-"
 Oh me. oh my! If you have ever suf- fered from either of these silent re- bukes you know how much one feels 1 at such time like crawling in c gim- l let hole and pulling 1t in after her. If an artist were looking for the ex- | pression of deepest interest. that can be written on a girls face, let him take in game of baseball and get near a group of girls. Then let him take q snapshot with his mental cam era just at the time when the rare wonder of triple play is made. It | would be magnificent moving pic | turc! They grab each other. pinch | each other, blister their hands with clapping. pound tho ioor with their parasols; they bend forward and gaze with narrowed eyes, parted lips and distended nostrils. ..
 Surely. those girls "understand the game"
 LEARN TO READ THE METERS. It Is a fault of the average woman not to believe what she doesn't see and she doesn't see anything that is supplied to her through pipes. That is why she has so much trouble with the iniquitous gas and water men. The use of one is only the putting of a lighted match to combustiblo air and of the other the turning on of fau- cet to get what ought to be in her opinion as free as air as the geogra- phies tell us two-th1rds of the face of the earth is composed of 1t. It is hard for the incredulous woman to be- lieve that such substances can be meas ured and in the meters she puts no con- tdence; she regards them as simply contrfvances with which the consum- CTS are deluded. So she racks her brain trying to discover some way to decrease the bills and tries every way save the sure one of using less and keeping a sharp lookout for leaks. Every woman should learn to read the meters. None should be allowed to become . candidate for matrimony un- til she has mastered the reading of meters.
 Now, as to how to cook with gas: The bill should never be more than B a month and 1t is easy to keep it down to $l.5 by a practice of absolutely no waste. The size of the family has very little to do with the matter. though 1t Is generally supposed that a family of six will consume. in cook ing two times as much as one of three. That is a mistake. When you bake, why. you bake. and when you boil, you boil; the quantity in process of cook ing makes almost no difference. Just a few rules will sufi1ce to fix your fuel gas bill all right
 First-Start out knowing there are no leaks. Your nose will help you In this. In fact, 1t Is an infallible guide.
 Second-Light the stove just long enough before the meal hour to cook the article on the bill of fare requiring the longest time, and light 1t after the vessel is on the stove.
 Third-Only turn the gas half way full, at any time, and when the boiling point is reached turn 1t down just as low as possible to keep the boiling up. as with them much less heat Is required to maintain the boiling point.
 Fifth-Don't make the mistake of using too small cooking vessels. It serves no purpose and adds to the risk of the boiling over which is the cause Of much of the disagreeable stove cleaning. E.
 Sixth-Never leave a burner on an instant after the vessel Is removed, in
  gas off before the vessel is taken of. Matches are cheaper than gas and pa per lighters are still cheaper.
 Seventh--In baking, these rules are good in all instances excepting where the food to be baked should be put at first In a hot oven.
