Moneys Part in Marrraas.

Scores of persons lose their chances of being happily married through mak- Ing an unnecessary obstacle of money. The importance of it is often exagger- ated. Many a man hesitates to pro pose to girl because of his small in- come. Very often much misery, mis- understanding and tangled lives result from the silence. More unfortunate love affairs are the result of what has not been said than of spoken words.
 When man has small sure in- come, and a prospect of increase, there is no legitimate reason for his not speaking of his love; no reason, for that matter, to prevent marriage. People are so desperately afraid, though, of beginning married life in a small way. They fear the sacrifices which they will be called upon to make-of the criticism to which they will be subjected. Many years of hap piness are lost in this way. It is such a mistake for young people to want to start marriage in the state that their parents are ending it.
 To delay marriage until comfort able" income is available is to prove something lacking in the love.-An- swers, London.

BENEFACToR GETS IN WRONG Apple Woman Subject for He Sym pathy Until Elevator Boy sets
 Him Right.

While Pumperton was waiting for the elevator. hand clapped him on the shoulder, and some one said: Well, old fellow, like your new of- nce?"
 Hello. Binks! You are just the man want to see. Ton know that apple woman out there on the corner? The one with the broken green um- brella? Well, I'm trying to get enough together from the men I know in this building to give her a good dinner, and something over to buy a warm shawl or some woolen gloves"
 Why" .hesitaing, I'm rather short on cash right now, old chap"
 "Oh, you don't understand. can't bear seeing that poor old crone out there in all kinds of weather making . pitiful pittance by selling her ap- pies. So I've collected six dollars al ready in my ofice" The elevator was waiting, but Pumperton, In his warmth of heart, paid no attention. ''But, of course, I've just moved in and don't mow as many of the other tenants as you do. So I want you to see a few of them and get them to chip in for her 70 she can have a festival worth remembering. Come on, Bink1. There's a good fellow"
 "But I'm too busy Pumperton. I can't possibly spare the time"
 You mean to say that you can think of that poor old creature sitting there day after day in the biting cold, and not do something? That six dol lars oughtn't to be more than a mere starter"
 Here the elevator boy interrupted with:
 "Beg yer pardon, mister, but are Touse talkin' about that apple woman cross in the corner?"
 ''Yes, my boy" answered Pumper- ton. DO you know anything about her, personally. that would arouse the sympathy of the tenants for her? Per haDs you would like to add your own mite. Even very little would help her along. One could hardly find Q more worthy object than such a pow srty-stricken-"

WHY SHE CHANGED HER MIND
Where WifeIy Ignorance To 5usbandIy Bliss 'Twere Folly to Put
 Her WIse.

Mrs. Blithers had not always founo herself in an approving mood in re- spect to the so-called sports of the sterner sex. and her opinions concern ing golfers who spend Sunday on the links. or sportsmen who shoot pigeons. were so very decided that Blithers invariably looked around for cotton to stun in his ears when she begun to deliver them. One can imagine his surprise, the other night. when the good lady suggested the Idea of his taking her to a horse race some time. The notion that she could bring herself to approve of such a diversion had never occurred to Blith- CTS. and he gazed at her in simple amazement.
 You don't mean to say that you ap- prove of horse-racingf" he demanded
 Well, didn't use to-" Mrs. BIithers replied. "but now that am coming to know more about it I think do. I've been taking the trouble to read about the races that are allowed to be run latterly. and have made up my mind that there's more good in those race track men than we've given them credit for"
 Well, well. weIIl" laughed Blith- era Wonder of wondersl What has brought about this remarkable changer"
 Well, I've discovered how kind those men are to their horses." said Mrs Blithers. T noticed last week that every time horse wasn't feeling well enough to run, his owner. in- stead of going out and beating him with a whip. has in every case gone out and scratched the poor animaIl" -Lppincott's Magazine.

TO HANG BEDROOM CURTAINS
Necessity for Fresh Air at Night Makes Question a Most Im-
 portant One.

Since fresh air at night has become imperative the right way to curtain a bedroom must be studied. Every win dow must be raised at top and bot tom, which is better for lungs and complexion than for hangings.
 The specialist advises no curtains; so will most men, who rarely like the dainty draperies dear to women. Few housekeepers agree with this, even the health fanatics. Nothing furnishes room like fresh white curtains; be- sides, the publicity of the uncurtain- ed room is objectionable, not to men ton the bare look of the outside of a house.
 The woman who believes in fresh air never hangs at her bedroom win dows curtains that cannot be launder- ed easily or that are ruined by damp ness. Windows up the year around soon works havoc on delicate lace or colored curtains
 Double draperies are not advisable for the bedroom. Too much air Is shut out, though they are lifted back each night. When one will have them,
 
 wash silks that stand tubbing.
 One woman fastens to the side lin tels of her window high above the mid dle sash, a small hook. In a conven- lent place she keeps cords for each half of curtain and her maids are taught when preparing the room for the night to loop the curtains up and back, thus giving free current of air.
 The most practical method of cur taining a bedroom is to divide the curtain in two sections horizontally. A rod is run at the top of the lower sash and the lower half run on it by a narrow casing. The upper curtain is cut longer than the lowed one and hung on a rod at the top of the case ment so they conceal the lower rod.
 By this arrangement the window can be lifted with no floating draper ies to blow out the window and get stringy, yet the room has the bene- 1t of curtains.

FrIed Apples and Onions.

Take one large Spanish onion to six good sized cooking apples. Slice apples without pairing them and slice onion thin. Fry together in butter, keeping the pan covered to hold the steam and prevent burning. Sprinkle lightly with sugar while cooking to add to the flavor of the dish, but do not add the sugar until the apples and onions are nearly done, as sugar burns easily.
