"They win never dream you are

a close, his handsome Jewish eyes
flashing enthusiastically. They'll
think you are raiding on your own il

"Of course, you understand, Mr.. Har-
nish, the absolute need for keeping

Letton warned, gravely.
Daylight nodded his head.
"And you also understand" Letton
went on, that the result can only
be productive of good. The thing is
legitimate and right, and the only ones
who may be hurt are the stock gam
blers themselves. 1t is not an attempt
to smash the market. As you see your
self, you are to bull the market. The
honest investor win be the gamer"
Yes, that's the very thing" Dow

Letton took mineral water served
by the smoothly operating ma
chine of a lackey who inhabited the
place, while Dowsett took Scotch and
soda and Daylight a cocktail. Leon
Guggenhammer arrived in the midst
of the drink. and ordered Scotch. Day
light studied him ~curiously. This was
one of the great Guggenhammer fam

one of the crowd with which be had

complimented Daylight on his prov

Leon Guggenhammer was young and

face, save for the adumbated puff
sacks under the eyes, was as smooth
and lineless as a boys. The talk

occasional remark from the other two,

Can you Imagine anyone Who Woud care so much about exact tnth-1

lady who has been wearing her trousseau for three years that her first
new gown was totally impossible?
And yet / know several people who did.
Yes. + can see some Of my readers sitting up in shocked surprise
and saying whats this? Is Ruth Cameron advising me to tell lies to
please people2"
I shouldn't put it just that way.
But I certainly do think that there are some lies that are more for
givable than some truth telling.
I once knew a horse trader who contrary to precedent, was known
and honored in the community as a thoroughly honest man. He WAS ieH-a

Take that mans ideal of truth and apply 1t to social relations and II
think you have a better happinessproducer than uncomprouidngs u-

There are many kinds of honesty. There is the honesty that sees
defects with ptness eye and mentions them with a consciousness az
virtue.
There is also an honesty that sees eyen the jewel in the t0ads head
and knows when to be silent and when to speak.
I OF course this doctrine is one that can easily be distorted to wrong
and selfish uses. But the inside heart of us that knows when we are do

THE ~APPETlzINe APPLE.

E4aHEtI M4
So many palatable dishes can be
made from apples that one need have
no m%onotony in the use of this queen
of fruits.
When short of a variety In the vege-
table line, did you ever take a few
tart apples, two or three onions and
a slice OF good salt pork, and make
an appetizing dish which, II not very
digestible, Is most sayory7 Put the
pork, diced, into a frying pan and
when a nice brown add the sliced
onions and apples, with a very little
water; cook until tender. add a dash
OF pepper, salt and a tablespoonful OF
sugar, II the apples are very tart.
Here Is a fine filing for sandwiches
or cakes, and the beauty of it Is that
1t is ready without any preparation.
For every pound of the fruit. peeled
and sliced, take twice its weight in
sugar, half a cup of water and the
grated rind of g lemon. Cook slowly
three hours, until thick, then add the
Juice Of the lemon and cook fifteen
minutes longer, stirring continually TO
avoid burning. Add chopped nut
meats and no richer filling could be
desired.
Brown Betty is perhaps too wen
known to repeat, yet It is a most
dainty dish. Put a layer OF chopped
apples. brown sugar. cinnamon for
tiavoring and a layer of bread crumbs
in q buttered dish; repeat. adding the
crumbs buttered by melting a table
spoonful OF butter and stirring them In
1t. Moisten with water, and bake.
One charm OF this pudding is that it
uses crumbs.
Another delicious cake filling is
made from a cupful of grated apple
and the whites Of two eggs; favor and
sweeten to taste. Whip until stiff and
smooth,
Apple dumping is never too old
fashioned to be rejolced In. Wrap the
short biscuit dough around a cored
apple and bake. Serve with cream
and sugar. This may be steamed as
well.

II appears that the early reports Of
the primary election result In Massa-
chusetts did not do 1t full justice. 1t
was said for one thing that the vote
was small when In fact II was very
large, making the expression OF the
will OF the voters much more en-
phatic than 1t could ever have been
by caucus and convention system. BY
the primary system voter has a
chance to vote as to all the candi-
dates that go to make up his party
ticket. BY the caucus and convention
system he may by a roundabout
method express his choice indirectly
for the head of the ticket but the rest
of the ticket he has no say on. The
primary is merely device to put the
voters In charge OF their own busi-
ness. There is nothing cumbersome
or troublesome about II. The only
ones who need to fear 1t are political
who are afraid OF fair
