 uncle. turned against her. On their return from their honeymoon, in Eur ope, Carnegie met them at the pier and took them to his home as proof that whatever other members of the family thought of it, he approved of the wedding and proposed to stand by the couple. though all the world re- pudiated them. Hever made a good husband and up to the time of his death, commanded the respect and friendship of the worlds greatest phil anthropist.
 Now that he is married to the young woman of his choice, Colonel John Jacob Astor, who occupied the center of the stage for several months, is being left severely alone by the sen- sational periodicals and newspapers, which made his life uneasy, following the announcement of his engagement to eighteen-ye year-old Madeleine Force The present silence of the vendors of sensational society gossip emphasizes the old truism If you wan to be left alone, get married" No longer do photographers dog the footsteps of the couple, newspaper writers fill long columns of. their trivial doings or ministers denounce them from the pulpit. Now they come and go like terest than if they were the most ordinary of proletariots To the Col 'onel and his bride it is a big relief and they are wondering now why they didn't save themselves much of the unpleasant notor1ety heaped upon them, by getting married sooner. But for the daily commentary on their en- gagement and it's propriety in which everybody who had nothing better to do took a hand, they probably would not have been married until this win ter.
 It is known that Colonel Astor, who was divorced from. Ava Willing Astor, his first wife, only Last spring, for appearancesl sake, preferred to wait. But the action of the sensational press, which became increasingly annoying as it became more and more personal, forced them to the altar, months ahead of their plans, as the only way to stop the fncessant clamor. What they are doing now. few know and fewer seem to care.
 Mrs. Lily Haxwortf1 Wallace, who comes here accredited as Great Brit aims champion cook, took a shy the other day at native culinary genius and declared that most of the domes- tic troubles for which the people of the United States have acquired world fame, are due to undue haste and lit tie thought in cooking. They spend too much money and too little time in the purchase of supplies and the of meals, she says, and thereby encourage conjugal discon- tent, the digestive tract and pocket book being the two most perniciously r1ctff f6o age husband
 Bad cooking,' she said, lis the cause of more unhappy marriages than infidelity or any other one thing t
 Its perfectly reasonable excuse for drunkenness on the part of the husband. Personally, I consider that he is entitled to a divorce if his wife doesn't kn0w how to cook. American women would be better cooks if they would take more time in their cook ing. They allow a thousand less i'm portant things to crowd out the great essential. And a loss in money, health and domestic happiness is the inevitable result.
 "The average American housewife buys her dinner when the noon w1lis- tie blows, her supper at o'clock The woman who serves dinner at night telephones to the butcher late in the afternoon She does no planning be- forehand. As consequence she buys meat which can be cooked quickly The choice usually falls upon chops or steak. These cuts are the most expensive, and they are Ibroiled or fried, the two least nutritious ways of cooking meat.
 f.Also the average American house wife will not take the time to make her own bread or even to cook her own yegeta bleS Instead she patrOn- izes the nearest bakery or delicatessen shop. Every woman should do all of her own cooking that she can do be- cause then she knows it's pure and clean. American women spend a great deal more money than is neces- sary to feed their families. They should instead make an expenditure of a great deal more time and thought"
