did not happen these unromantic days
to musical celebrities. She had writ
ten that on Monday night she would
sing in La B9heme and on Wednes-
day Faust. She had since vanished
vanished as completely as though
she had taken wings and flown away.
1t was unreal. She had left the
apartment in the Avenue de Wagram
on Saturday afternoon and nothing
had been seen or heard of her since.
At the last moment they had had
to find a substitute for her part in
the Puccini opera. The maid testi-
fed that her mistress had gone on
an errand of mercy She had not
mentioned where, but she had said
that she would return in time to
dress for dinner, which proved con-
clusively that something out of the
ordinary had befallen her.
The automobile that had carried
her away had not been her own, and
the chauffeur was unknown. None
of the directors at the opera had been
notified of any change in the singers
plans. She had disappeared, and they
were deeply concerned. Singers were
generally cratic full of sudden in
dispositions, unaccountable whims:
but the Signorina da Toscana was
one in a thousand. She never broke
an engagement. If she was i'll she
said so at once; she never left them
in doubt until the last moment In
decision was not one of her charac-
| teristics. She was as reliable as the
sun. If the directors did not hear
| definitely from her by noon today,
| they would have to find another Mar
guerite.
The police began to move, and they

The chauffeur was able to describe

came the bewIldering episode in the

of the man, the astonished concierge
to whom the beautiful American
would offer no explanations The man
| (who tailed with the description
| given by the chauffeur) had obtained
entrance under false representation.
He claimed to be an emissary with
important instructions from the

in this; messengers came at al

DEMAND WRAPPED BREAD OR
RAKE OWN. SAYS Mrs. kIRk

The housekeeper's individual re-
sponsibility is in her home, being
sure that her home and the con-
ditions which affect it are under her
supervision and control. When
woman has proved herself capable
there, then and then only, is she ca
pable of judging food as purchased
at the butchers, bakers or grocer's.
She must read labels on all canned
and bottled goods and make sure
that the food she purchases is pure
food. Instead of condemning poor
foods, the Westfield, Mass, Board of
Health. with Mr.. Allyn, chemist, has
issued list or Book of Pure
Foods" which any woman may re-
ceive for 10 cents. This list does not
cover all pure foods, but is really a
good beginning and covers almost all
advertised brands of foods which
have national distribution. We care
little about hearing of bad foods, but
we are as a class of housewives de-
manding information about pure
food. Due to the work of these
women banded together there has
been marked improvement in the
san ary conditions of our food stores
and supplies.
New laws have been enacted in
most of the large cities and trades
men everywhere are recognizing that
the consumer is demanding clean
shops and the sanitary handling of
food supplies. Some interesting

Tomato Salad

Good tomato salad is made from the
small tomatoes that grow about the
size of a walnut. Wash and wipe
them dry, and then place them for
several hours on the ice. Cut the
yollss of three hard boiled eggs into
slices, then into small diamond
shapes. Remove the pits from two
dozen white grapes. This is best done
by cutting the grapes open on the
side and removing the pits with a
small knife.
Ten minutes before serving put the
tomatoes into salad dish; lay the
grapes over the tomatoes and the
yolk diamonds over the grapes. Mix
one gill OF fine salad oil with three
tablespoons of vinegar and one table
spoon of tarragon vinegar, half a
teaspoon of salt, one-quarter of a tea
spoon of pepper, stir three minutes,
then pour it over the salad; set a
border of small lettuce leaves around
The salad and serve.

Those Rhyming Rules o
Grammar

Dear Miss Doom
Would you mind publishing the
rules for grammar in rhyme that ap-
peared in the morning paper some
time ago? / cut them out and mislaid
them. They are handy to have around.

RULES OF GRAMMAR IN RHYME.
Three little words you often see
Are articles-a, an and the;
A nouns the name of anything,
AS school or garden, hoop or swing;
Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
AS great, small, pretty, white or
Instead of nouns the pronouns stand
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand;
Verbs tell of something to be done,
To read count, sing, laugh, jump or
run;
How things are done the adverbs tell,
AS slowly, quickly, i'll or well;
Conjunctions join the words together,
AS men and women, wind and wealth.
er,
The proposition stands before
A noun, as in, or through door;
The interjection shows surprise.
AS OH how pretty, Ali how wise,
The whole are called mine parts Of
speech"
Which reading, writing, speaking
teach.

at II o'clock Saturday morning, but
the signorina had sent down word
that she could not see him. The maid
recalled that her mistress had in
tended to dine that night with the
Italian gentleman. His name she did
not know, having been with the sig
norma but two weeks.
Celeste Fournier, the celebrated
young pianist and composer, who
shared the apartment with the miss
ing prima donna, stated that she
hadn't the slightest idea where her
friend was. She was certain that
misfortune had overtaken her in some
inexplicable manner. To implicate
the italian was out of the question.
He was we'll known to them both.
He had arrived again at Saturday
and was very much surprised that
the signorina had not yet returned.
He had waited till 9, when he left,
greatly disappointed. He was the
Barone di Monte-Verdi in Calabria,
formerly military attache at the
Italian embassy in Berlin. Sunday
noon Mademoiselle Fourier had noti-
fed the authorities. She did not know,
but she felt sure that the blond
stranger knew more than anyone
else. And here was the end of things.
The police found themselves at a
standstill. They searched the hotels,
but without success; the blond
stranger could not be found.
Abbott's eyes were not happy
and pleasant just now. They were
dull and blank with the reaction
of the stunning blow. He, too, was
certain of the Barone. Much
as he secretly hated the italian.
he knew him to be fearless
and an honorable man. But who
could this blond stranger be who ap-
peared so sinisterly In the two scenes
From where had he come? Why had
Nora refused to explain about the
pistol shot? Any woman had a per-
feet right to shoot a man who forced
his way into her apartment. Was he
one of those mad fools who had fallen
In love with her, and had become
desperate? Or was 1t some one she
knew and against whom she did not
wish to bring any charges? Abduc-
ted! And she might be, at this very
moment, suffering all sorts of indig-
mites. 1t was horrible to be so help
less.
The sparkle of the sunlight upon
the ferrule of a cane, extending over
his shoulder, broke in on his agoni-
zing thoughts. He turned, an angry
word on the tip of his tongue He
expected to see some tourist who
wanted to be Informed.

In a Girls Room
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
What could l put in closets and
dresser drawers to keep them smelling
sW eet something that is not expen-
siye? Thank you very much,
MINNIE S.
There are many excellent sachet
powders on the market. For the
dresser drawers make sachet pads to
cover the bottom. They are of thin
silk, filled with cotton, sprinkled with
the sachet.
Closet shelves may be covered in
the same way, but you will find
making sachet bags of good size, to
be placed in the sleeves Of suits and
gowns, more effective. The sachet is
not expensive. An ounce will make
any number of bags.

More Falling Hair
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly publish in the ques-
ton column a remedy for falling hair.
An early response will be appreciated
CONSTANT READER.
Brush the hair thoroughly every
night. Then massage the scalp, not
by rubbing the fingers over it, but
by placing them against the skin and
working the knuckles in such way
as to loosen the scalp. Do this
methodically. until the entire scalp
has been massaged. The following
is said to be an excellent tonic:
One pint bay rum.
One-half pint clear alcohol.
One-half ounce castor oil.
One-quarter ounce carbonate am
monia.
One-half ounce tincture of cantha-
rides. Massage into 4. the scalp at
night.

Stringing Beads

The owner of any beads, valuable
for their own worth or their associa-
lions, may well take a lesson from
the pearl-stringers, whose cardinal
principle is to tie a firm knot be-
tween each two pearls. says a con-
tributor to Good Housekeeping.
Then, if the string breaks. no more
than one pearl can be lost. Neither
wire nor catgut is good for the string

Is it proper for a person to snake
hands If there is no one to introduce
him?
If man enters an office, should he
shake hands with the proprietor, or
simply say good morning" etc?

You have not made the first ques-
ton clear. Why shake hands with
someone you do not know? He might
have you arrested.

friend. Let the proprietor make the
