A woman who holds still a place
in some human hearts is yonder at
a window in the Tower.
She is not done with the Appel
baum case.
Over in Alabama the old folks
at home" are not done with it.
The little church and school OF
her country town that had girls
soul for the making of a good
woman are still tangled up in it.
Only the man whose dead body
lay so long unclaimed. now at last
in the forgiving earth's bosom,
seems to be well out of the Appel
baum case.
Somewhere on the earth, nobody
knows where, another home,
church and school are subtly mixed
up with his mischief.
This Great Confusion we call
Great Civilization, all through, in
and out, is involved in it.
1t must be brought back to face
the questions:
Who killed Appelbaum? A pis-
toll, some ounces of lead; these did
not kill Appelbaum.
Why did anybody kill him? a
spasm of jealousy, brainstorm
lunaCV or the mysterious pOSSible
other mad Nemesis in the room
between the first and last shots, are
not enough to answer.

TANGO TEA AT THE
PHOENIX CLUB TODAY

The tango tea at the Phoenix club this
afternoon promises to be one OF the
brightest incidents of the pre-holiday sea-
son. 1t is given by the club for its mem
bers and does not introduce a series
though it is possible that other affairs
of a similar nature may occur later.
The ball room is to resemble tea gar
den in gay Japan, with lanterns bob
bing from the beams and wide parasols
introducing the brilliant color of their
picturesque designs. There are to be
Japanese tea girls, six popular girls in
the younger set, who in fetching kimonos
and with hair adorned with chrysan-

Miss Elsie Fies are to be the tea girls. y
pleasing feature will be n fancy dance
executed by these young women. An eX-
celent orchestra has been secured TO
furnish the dance music and the tango
tea promises to be a delightful event.
The hours are to o'clock, so that dur

who are club members may avail them

MRS. IDA ADAMS
GIVES AN INFORMAL YEA

One of the graceful events of yester-
day was Mrs. Ida Adams tea. an episode
inspired in reminiscent mood, and fol-
lowing this line during an hour over the
teacups with very charming hostess.
Mrs. Adams, who has frequently toured
Europe as chaperon and guide for Bir
minehams people, gathered limited
coterie of her former travelling com
panions together to meet Miss Leonora
Mayberry of Franklin, Tenn, who was a
member of her 1910 party, and is the guest
this week of Miss Helen McCary.
The afternoon resolved itself into a
little travelogue over the teacups for
the majority of the guests either had
seen the Old World from the viewpoint
and under the direction of the hostess,
or are planning to do so.
In the dining room of Mrs. Adams cosy
house on Twelfth avenue. south, the deco
rative appointments suggested the coming
of Kris Kringle. In the center of the
tea table, over which Mrs. Frank Demere
ministered with her inimitable grace,
was large basket filled with
carnations. The bonbons which surround
ed it, and the candles which beamed be-
meath crimson shades further emphasized
the holiday color plan. Sandwiches and
other daitny trifles supplemented the tea
service, and Mrs. Alex Wade at one end
of the table poured coffee.

This Hon1e-Mdde Cough
Syrup U'iH Surprise You
Costs Little, but there is Noth-
ing Better at any Price.
Fully Guaranteed.

Here is homemade remedy that
takes hold of a cough almost instantly,
and will usually conquer an ordinary
pint-enough for a whole family. You
couldn't buy as much or as good ready
made cough syrup for $3.50.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
" pint of warm water, and stir 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly
and has pleasant taste-children like
it. Braces up the appetite and is
slightly laxative, which helps end a
cough.
You probably know the medical value
of pine in treating bronchial asthma,
bronchitis, spasmodic Group and whoop-
ing cough. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing pine elements.
Other preparations will not work in
this combination.
The prompt results from this inexpen-
sive remedy have made friends for it in
thousands of homes in the United States
and Canada, which explains why the
plan has been initiated often, but never
successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex ,or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne. Ind.

licious cornbread Two eggs well beaten,
a pinch of salt. tablespoon of sugar,
one tablespoon of butter. one teaspoon of
soda dissolved in a tablespoon of boiling
water. one cup of sour milk, and add
enough cornmeal and flour to make a
thick batter. Allow one-third as much
-four as cornmeal, using yellow cornmeal.
Bake in loaf for 45 minutes. Baking
powder biscuits: Two even teacups of
flour, two teaspoons of baking powder.
one teaspoon salt. two not too heaping
tablespoons of lard. Stir all these to-
gether until the lard is thoroughly mixed !;
then add about cup of milk or water,
just enough to make a thick dry dough.
Cut out with a biscuit cutter and bake
20 minutes in hot oven. Every one thinks
my cornbread and biscuits fine II you
think them worth anything I'll come
again and give the menu for a regular
southern dinner of green string beans and
just what goes with them.
