upon what widows success rests in win ming a mans heart It could be smmered down to few sentences of truthful explana- tion.
 First of all. they understand the fine art of putting a man in good humor with himself by shadowy compliments which he takes for substantial truths. They are apt to begin by telling him that they almost knew him by hearing their friends speak so highly of him even before they were introduced. But, dear me they had quite expected to meet an older manl
 The widow admres his horses, his automo- bile, his home. She tells him that he ought to be very proud of having such a dear, sweet old mother and fine stately old father. She never says anything disparaging concerning anything or anybody whom he holds dear. It is this subtle little compliment she pays which endears her to him and sets the chord of love vibrating in his heart.
 Even the boarding house keeper to be sue cessful must know how to pay compliments. She infers secretly to each one that he is her star boarder. She compliments him for his regularity of habit in coming in early and compliments him by cooking the little dish es which he told her he used to get at home. If the selfsame boarder heard her grumbling among her friends over the trouble which he caused her her place might not roof him overnight.
 Even mother who would retain a hold upon her boys heart is wont to pay hin little compliments, such as that he is the best boy in the whole wide world no other son could equal him that he robs life of lone lness for her. She is sure that the incest girl in the whole wide world will certainly fall in love with him and be lucky enough to wed him.
 Even the doctor, who is supposedly proof against feminine hatery, thinks kindl;er of the woman who says that she would never have any physician but himself; that his very presence brings sunshine into a sickroom There is such delicate division between flat tery and wholesome. well deserved compli- ment that one needs the strongest of mental microscopes to discover it. It is not every woman who can pay compliment to a man recently presented to her without seemingly eneroachng on her modesty and natural re- serve. The compliment must always have every vestge of truth prettily dressed in pleasing language.

Greatest Compliments Wordlcss.

The greatest compliments in the world have been paid men by women who have not uttered so much as a word; a sudden blush as he appeared before her expressed more eo- quenee daintier compliment to him than all the rhetoric which she could have uttered
 The brightening of her eyes or the touch of her hand as he clasped it may have pad him the same kind of a compliment. People often wonder why the actress on the stage

Widower EspeciaLLu CratefuL.

The widower especially is grateful to any lady for delicate little compliment which proves to him that he is not without attrac- tion still to fair women. He forgets the years that have eroled over his head, forgets the past with it's and its griefs He only remembers that he can still inspire that most subtle of all praise, the Cainty little compli- ment from woman's lips.
 Compliments to men are like the perfume to rose ; not glaringly nsincere ones, but n bit of truth sweetly conveyed in few well chosen words.

Two employees OF d city department Re-

Another enthusiastic member of the

West oath street, thinks that the women
ought to keep up their boycott on meat.
and she says that she has had no trouble
In getting all varieties of fresh fish from
her butcher. She has spoken to all her
friends in the neighborhood. urging them TO
use fish instead Of meat and their butcher
has been very glad to supply their de-
mands. She suggests that the housewives

are doing and doing more thoroughly and

Not all the housewives have had such
luck in inducing all the people with whom
they come into contact to substitute fish
for meat. Mrs. Gerald Bancker, who is
chairman Of the committee of supplies for
the working girls hotel run by the City
Federation Of Women's Clubs. broached
the subject to the guests. with dscour

Mrs. Bancker has had more success with

KOSHER RI0TING RESUMED
Cops Nose Marred by Potato
Umbrellas Repel Amazons.

The women's kosher boycott In Williams
burg continued yesterday. with the result
that many more butcher shops shut up.
Marching through Boerum street TO Gra-
ham avenue. twenty Amazons met a
woman carrying a package OF meat. The
food was snatched from the womans arms
and saturated with Kerosene A fight fol-
lowed but the police quickly stepped IN
and quelled II.
The rioters then moved tc the meat
store Of Abraham Hartman, at No. So
Moore street. where they fought with
women customers. Three patrolmen rushed
into the place before the crusaders had
time 70 destroy the meat with kerosene, az
had been threatened. One woman hit Pa
trolrnan Jones on the nose with potato.
Several clashes occurred in other sec
tions. At Marcy avenue and Hopkins
street three women carrying packages OF
meat were attacked by the boycotters.
The housewife trio had expected attack
and armed themselves with umbrellas. The
raidng party was utterly routed.

Fish Week Ends To-day, but
Women Will Keep Up
the Good Work.

Some Of the members of the Housewives
League are so delighted with the results o'
their fish week that they are going to
keep on boycottng meat indefinitely, OF
at least until the price comes down 70
reasonable level. Those women who have
co-operateI with their fshmen this last
week have been most successful In obtain
ing fresh fish. They warned the dealers
that there would be a demand for fish IN
the neighborhood. and the men were IT
most cases willing to keep UP their stock
IF ii were not for the men of our fami-
lies" said one housewife. I'VE women could
bring the price Of meat tumbling down IN
month but most men think they just
have to eat meat"
I'm this season when there Is such an
abundance OF fresh fish OF so many differ
ent kinds" said Mrs. Charles Griffin. Of No
$40 West Hath street. there ought 10 be
no difficulty about fish diet becoming mo-
notonous. There are so many fish and SC
many ways OF cooking them.
After a dinner OF boiled cod with cream
sauce-not a thin. 'runny sauce, but a
thick creamy one with parsley In 1t. that
seems TO be almost part OF the fsh-one

Now brolled fish have an altogether diff
ferent taste from boiled fish, and they
are served with just a sauce OF melted but
ter, with perhaps a bit Of parsley chopped
In H. The best fish to broi are bluehsh
mackerel weakfsh and whitefish. Then
baked fish makes another change. 1t Is
especially good and satisfying with a
bread crumb stuffing-just the regular
chicken dressing
II find creamed salt Goldfish makes de-
licious breakfast or luncheon dish-not the
shredded variety but the whole fish. II
should be scalded before use, but not al
lowed TO come TO a boil. Hard boiled eggs
chopped up in the cream sauce help make
the dish more nourishng.
You know. the dietetic authorities tel
us that salt fish is not so easily digested
as fresh fsh. as the tbres are likely TO be
hardened I'm the process of sailing, but
that salt Goldfish. when finely divided and
