The housewife who takes pleasure
and pride In the culinary branch OF
her household labors is always on the

glad TO find old ones improved upon
and offered in new forms. The deco
ration for cake. new receptacle
wherein to cook an ontree. a new stuff
fing for fowl. n new pie filling or an
original garnish are rs dear to the
good cooks heart as state secret Is
to that OF "A politician.
SO much has been borrowed from sis
ter nations In this line that there
seems little left new under the sun.
so 1t now bohooves those in search OF
novelty to turn their eyes inward and
invent and create novelties from their
own experience. The popular individ-
ual service gives wide scope for the
cooks imagination. and many sugges-
tons she will get by Just taking n
little trip through the favor shops.

FLOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Snapshot OF Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the
Control Of Mexico.

To make flowers last n week or
more. four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
mcnt you get them. but put them In
pail of water for n few hours, 30 that
every stem will be under water up to
tho flower. Second. cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the llow-
ers and change tho water every day.
Third, tho cooler you keep tho flowers
the longer they will last. If you arc
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon. do
not leave them In tho living room. for
they are not used to such II temporal
ture. Every night put the vase In n
cool place. or better still, plunge tho
stems up to the flowers In n pail OF
water. Fourth. cut about n quarter of
an inch off each stem In the morning.
1t IL more trouble to do this under
water. but 1t pays. If you cut the
stems In the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing In of watcr.-Delincntor

| Louise ! had not realized the depth of
the wound in my heart her conduct
toward me had made. Even when l
saw her dash away from me in an au-
| tomobile. panied though l was that our
interview should have been cut short.
| still did not comprehend what a ter
| rible blow 1t was that had befallen
me. 1t was the sight as | left the
ferry OF the automobile dashing by.
with Louise-the woman | loved
seated beside Hugh Crandall that
gave new pognanCy to my pain, that
added to the fires of jealousy. that
made me understand to the full the
dire import of what had happened.
Louise had lied to me.
Crandall had been in the house. She
had seen him. She had left me to
Join him. She had even deserted her
helpless sister and her dying father
to so with him. And all the while her
lips had protested that no one had
been in the house but the doctors and
nurses.
AS l paced the platform and paced
1t back again, waiting two weary hours
for an Ardway train. as | sat for two
unending hours more In the long ride
through New Jersey, Ike n poisoned
knife, cutting my heart to shreds and
cutting the shreds again, the thought
kept coming back TO me over and
over: She lied to me-"
Quarter a man alive, pour molten
metal into his eyeballs, feed him salt
fish and cut off water, bury him alive
in qulckllme, devise what torture you
will and double it, the pain and agony
can not equal that which comes to
man who. believing in and trusting
and loving a woman with his whole
heart is forced to admit to himself
that she has deceived him-that she
has lied to him. In those awful hours
| came to know the seven hells. l
went through all Of them.
Only one ray Of comfort came to
me. AS had asked myself why did
she lie?" | found myself believing that
, she had done so, not of her own free
will, but impelled by some motive so
powerful that she could not resist it.
That It was the influence Of Crandall
| could no doubt. He had so preyed
on her fears for her father and sister.
perhaps on her fear for me, that he
had induced her to try to persuade me
to give up my investigation and had
made her promise to accompany him
on some doubtful secret mission.
ut Is not my secret"
recalled the piteous cry my en-
treaties had wrung from her lips, and
found the logical explanation of it in
her having been terrorized by that
villain, Crandall. If could have found
him at the moment l could have killed
him with my naked hands.
Yet even though | was convinced
that Louise had lied to me. | began to
feel that whatever she had done, what
ever she was now doing, was in the
belief that she was acting for the best
for her dear ones. for me.
