worship for several minutes yester-

unprecedented. Billik's wife and four

said.
Word was quickly passed from tier

moments before had been filled with
coarse laughter and coarser talk,
Quieted down, and even the most
hardened criminals there offered UP a

banking institutions of Peter Rutzek,

That by sailing the water when
poaching eggs they are rendered whit
er and clearer. A certain French cook
adds half tablespoonful of vinegar
to every two quarts of water when
poaching eggs.
That pulled bread is delicious with
soup. To make it, cut crusts from a
loaf of bread just from the oven. With
a fork pull the bread apart into stsips
five inches long and quite thin. Dry
them in slow oven until crisp and a

at formal dinners.

HER HUSBAND
By MABEL HERBERT URNER
(Copyright.)

"Of course, dear, suit yourself about
It. If you think you would like the
Hotel -- better, why, we will go
there. But ! imagine you will find
these large hotels very much the
same"
Yes, I suppose So" she answered
listlessly.
The waiter came up now, filled their
glasses and placed the menu before
him. He looked at it moment, then
handed it over to her.
Perhaps you had better order"
his voice was strained
She flushed, a deep, painful flush, as
she took the card and gave the order
When the waiter had gone, she leaned
back, her eyes wandering over the bril-
liantly lighted cafe.
1t was becoming intolerable-this
thing between them, this conscious
ness that he knew-that for weeks he
had known. She felt now that from
the first, even before she had admitted
IL to herself, with the quick intuition
of his love he had known-that she
was ashamed of him! Ashamed of his
awkwardness, his ignorance, his in
ability to act and dress and look like
the men around themi
No word. had passed between them;
in no direct way had either of them
referred TO it, yet she knew it was
never quite out of thir minds.
1t began with their first week in
New York. She had chosen to live at
the most quiet, the most exclusive
hotel in the city, place rarely in
vaded by the western millionaire; and
it had come like blow-the contrast
between the men there and her hus-
| band
She fought against the feeling that
was aroused in her; she told herself
of his sterling worth and manliness;
and yet she was constantly comparing
him with these men of the world,
these clubmen with their air of ease
and nonchalance; with the way they
