They had stepped aside to let the

on the elbow Of his sound arm and
said with defiant grin:

Picked Red Cabbage.

Choose a red cabbage of medium size
remove the outer leaves, quarter the cab
bage and cut out the stalk. Shred the
cabbage finely and wash it. lift It from
the water and drain it in a colander.
Spread the shredded cabbage on a large
platter and sprinkle quarter OF a pound
Of fine salt over it. Leave the cabbage
for twenty-four hours. drain 1t in a col
ander, and when dry pack It tightly in
glass jars. Add a level teaspoonful of
red pepper and two cupfuls of white vine
gar, and shake 1t well. Pour the vinegar
into the jars so as to cover the cabbage,
and crew down the tops of the jars and
keep for a week or ten days, when 1t
will be ready for use. This pickle is of a
particularly bright red color and will
keep longer than If prepared with boiled

CARE is REQUIRED
IN SELECTING RUGS
Consider Other Decorations
in Color Scheme.

The floor should get as much consider
alton in the color effects as does the
wall paper or the finish of the wood
work in a room, for the furnishings of
any room are to be considered equally
from the standpoint OF comfort and that
of looks. In this matter rugs are not
only more tasty, but also more sanitary,
so We will remark on their use.
Firstly. when the selection OF rugs is
made the mistake of too loud colors or
that of having animal, bird, or flower
figures should not be forgotten. Animals
or flowers were never intended to be
walked upon and the selection of one Of
these will at once appear incongruous
and impossible.
If the wall paper is OF a fine quality
that has been put on to last a great
length OF time, with periodical clean
ings, II the rugs are purchased after the
papering has been done, the idea Of
matching should be carried in mind, for
this error is frequent and many rooms
are irretrievably mismatched in these
two essentials.
Use of Rich COIorInEs.
The richer colorings OF green and red
are intended primarily for rooms that
are furnished In mahogany, while the
more inconspicuous colors allow for none
but the light or quartered oak. Browns
are principally intended for the Flemish
and weathered oak woods.
Now as TO the principle of space ap-
pearance where a room is small a few
small rugs instead of one large one will
produce a wanted effect of largeness,
while where room is overspacIos a
large rug will cOnduce to a smaller and
more desirable room TO occupy.
In case where the walking covers only
a certain part Of the room and at the
spots where one travels in and out Of
doors more especially the necessity of
small rugs to cover the finely finished
floors will make an impression upon the
vision sooner or later IL the one that
does the selecting does not think OF It
at the time of purchasing.

By DOROTHY DIX.

A romantic young millionairess who
eloped with a S20-a-week chauffeur, and
who is still unforgiven and unprovided
for by her rich parents, has just gone
to housekeeping, and is reported to have
bought most of her household plenish-
ings at the and. 10 cent store. More
than that, the salesgirl who waited on
her opened her eyes at the thrift and
economy displayed by the rich girl, and
declared:
Gee! 1 never saw anybody get as much
out of a dollar before. If all miIlionair-
esses are that saving poor men ought to
hunt 'em up for wives
And the salesgirl was right. Rich
women are more economical than poor
women, as a rule, and IL is money in
mans pocket and happiness in his home
to marry the girl who has had the cakes
and ale of life instead of the one who
is starved for them.
Poor men are afraid to ask rich girls
to marry them. A poor man says to him
self that his $50 or 500 a month salary
would look like clipped Canadian dime
to a girl who had been in the habit Of
living at the rate of thousands a year,
and that she would spend his tiny income
on chocolate creams and never know
where 1t went 10. Therefore, he passes
her by, and asks some girl who has
never had a second frock to her back,
scarcely. to marry him, with the view of
getting a wife who has been raised to
save and do without things, and who will
be help to a struggling young man.
Exception Proves Rule.
OF course, there are exceptions to all
rules, and occasionally the woman who
has been used to prodigal expenditure
goes on her wasteful career and keeps
her poor husbands nose to the grind
stone all OF his life. Also the poor and
economical girl may develop into q tight
wad wife, and thereby Is the mans guess
1t what a woman win do justified
AS a general thing, however, exactly
The reverse Of this happens II the rich
girl love the poor man well enough to
marry him there Is no sacrifice she Is not
willing to make for him, and she Is no
bent and determined that he shall get an

frugality. Besides which her husbands
small salary looks so very small in her
eyes that she Is twice as careful of II as
he is. Furthermore, having had a surfeit
of all the things that money buys she
isn't mad about having them.
On the other hand, to the girl who has
never had a dollar Of her own her hus-
bands small salary seems an unending
supply of wealth that will stand any
strain, and she puts It to the test, reck-
lessly. She's been denied the things that
she wanted, she's lacked for pretty
clothes, she's craved amusements and ex-
element, and when she gets a chance at
them she loses her head.
II you will notice you will find that 90
out of 100 of the dress-crazy, automobile

who wont keep house and insist on liv-
ing in hotels, were poor girls and gener-

Precisely the same thing is true about
society. The social climbers, the women

CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT AN
INORDINATE PASSION FOR
FINERY BY THEIR MOTHERS

Suppose they have no more money than
their mother when they reach maturity?
Suppose they can but stand before the
ultrafashionable windows and sigh their
hearts into gloom while they envy the
women who may buy what they see;
what then?
Their hearts will be eaten out with the
cankerous sore of covetousness, and the
whole of their lives will be poisoned

If we begin with our children and cuI-
tivate the taste for refined clothes We
will be striking at the root of faddism
For there is no reason why a woman
may not dress becomingly; may not love
beautiful lines and harmony of color.
