The greatest thing in the wide world Is
love. and It is also the most beautiful
Unluckily, IL oftcns walks hand in hand
with the blacklist and ugliest of feelings
Jealousy.
No sight Is moro dreadful than tho
Jealousy OF a lover He is so full of
anguish that he becomes possessed with
cruel longing to visit his sufferings
upon his beloved. that very same one
whom he would have died to shield but
lately. Now she is the target for his
arrows of mistrust and unkind suspicion
Even though unfounded, his fears make
him to be pitied. since they cause him
such intense pain.
True lovers should never be, and seldom
are Jealous. Their affection Is tr,lstful
and so they are never torn by the panEs
of jealousy, which. after all, is only a
form of mistrust Nor have they any
need to be so tormented, since they keep
clear of any conduct that is likely to
bring about jealousy.
True lovers never firt and 80 they
avoid giving each other reason for unhap-
piness. She can shrine no other man In
her heart, and he no other maid
And so Il comes to pass. and deservedly,
that perfect peace in love is the lot OF
true sweethearts alone.

Food Values

The careful housewife today learns q
great many things she never had taken
into consideration before. The nutrltive
value of foods is one of them. A pint
of fresh milk is equal in nutritive value
to several pounds OF beef for instance.
The housekeeper who has an eye to her
pocketbook as well as to health will con-
slider these things when she orders the
meals for the family.
Solid food may be divided into three
classes, those that keep the body warm
and give 1t strength, those that keep tho
body in repair and those that keep the
brain and nerves in good order and make
the bones strong and hard
The first class of foods contains starch.
In potatoes, corn, etc.; fat, as in butter,
cheese, ETC., and sugar which is found
In beets milk and fruits.
The second class of foods contains albu-
men, as In the white of an egg; fibrine.
as in brown bread, oatmeal, etc. and
casein the solid part of milk and cheese.
The third class of foods contain min
eral substances, as water, common salt
ana many fresh vegetables.
full grown man requires-H ounces OF
solid food, l6 ounces of strength-produc-
ing food, 4 ounces of flesh repairing, and
ounce of mineral food daily

and Of serving dried, warmed-up dinners
TO their men folks, who are delayed on
the way home from the city.
The leader Of the enterprise. which 10
70 be known as the Montclair Co-opera-
live Kitchen. is Mrs. II. A. Leonhauser'
the wife OF retired army officer mrs.
Ieonhauser during her life at various
army posts, saw a great deal OF Uncle
Snms methods Of providing for MS sol
diers and their families She watched
the preparation of officers messes and
proved to her own satisfaction that ths
idea OF a central kitchen, which supplied

was entirely feasible and great saw
ing of time, trouble and expense.
She also learned that II was quite pos
slble to avoid the two rocks upon which
such cooperative enterprises as the one
which she contemplated having always
split: namely, the community eating
which made such serious inroads into the
charm and privacy of the home, and the
limited bill of fare which insisted that
everybody should eat the same thing on
the same day, whether they liked 1t or
not.
Feeling sure that she would have the
enthusiastic support Of her fellow-towns-
women, she called a number of her neigh
bors together and explained her plan
to them. At once they fell in with her
Ideas, a stock company was formed with
shares at $40 each and the projected en-
terprise put upon a business footing.
The keynote to the whole scheme Is
the necessity of catering to the indivi-
dual. II It succeeds, the triumph will be
due In no small degree to the fact that
each one who elects to got his meals
from this central kitchen will be able
to have just what he wants, when and
how he wants IT,

MODES OF THE HOUR

problem that Is presented by present
day fashions can be solved only by watch
full waiting. One sees what is apparently
a one-plece frock until the wearer makes
few necromantic passes and emerges,
as from a shell. in a dress Of another
color
Or one may innocently admire what ap-
pears to be a smart-looking coat and
then discover that it is not removable,
but merely one OF the many forms that
the one-piece frock can assume.
The drop skirt is a factor in confusing
the judgment For while the circular
skirt and the shirred skirt are now es-
tablished styles, the drop skirt holds its
place and is seen in the very latest mod
els.
Frequently II serves as a contrast to
the bouffant lace or chiffon of the over
dress in a concoctlon for evening wear.
And times without number II is used to
carry out the creative scheme of dress
made Of two materials or two contrasting
colors.
In some OF the frocks of recent design
the drop skirt shows only when the wear
er is in motion. 1t Is OF the same length
or even shorter than the outer skirt,
which is circular and with big ruffes at
the foot. The foot, by the way, is mere
ly form Of speech, for these enormously
full skirts are usually at least eight
inches from the ground.
This means the smartest of footwear.
and stockings that match the cloth upper
OF the gaiter boot are not simply sur
missed but seen.

The vogue for the colors known aa
sand and putty is not confined to shoes
ana stockings and hats; frocks in these
colors in combination with black velvet
are delightful, or with some one OF the
beautiful fuTs now fashionable.
The wisdom of fur as a choice of
trimming may show up in a high light in
the next few years. Pelts have never
been dyed and treated successfully in
this country and the furs OF this sea-
son will probably prove to be the furs
OF several seasons to come.
There may be q famine in velvets, too;
but speculation leads to n vicious circle.
for nothing is known and to invest in
things now for fear OF not being able
to purchase them later on might be a
prudent mistake. And that is always
more trying than a foolish one.
The little frock sketched today Is a
frock, ''pur ct simple" and not a coat,
as one might fancy at first glance The
velvet bodice, with the girdle attached,
buttons in simple fashion from the throat
10 the waist line, which is rather high,
in accordance with one of the prevailing
fashion rulings.
The open tunic is plated and finished
with a wide band of velvet, and cuffs
of velvet finish the long sleeves, which
are made of the cloth of the drop skirt
and the tunlc.
The hat worn with the costume is a
jaunty little affair, with an lndented brim,
suggesting the petals of a flower.
In the place of a feather fantasy as
an ornament, a bit of fur is wired and
stands upright. its position secured by a
bit of gilt braid.

Care Of Infants Eyes

Most important Of all, It has been an
nounced that nothing but tested and ap-
proved pure foods will be used.
WILL DANISH KITCHEN TROUBLES
The most obvious advantage to be de-
rived from this scheme is of course the
absence Of cooking in the homes Of the
subscribers. There will be no purchasing.
no preparation, no smells of cooking and
no laborious securing of pans. Along
with this will come the advantage OF,
skilled buying and planning, the economy
OF buying In large quantities and the
saving OF fuel.
A LOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.
Large scale production has proved itself
TO be economical and eficient, and, with
the exception OF cooking, all the industries
once confined TO the home have gone
into the factory. Cooking, however has
never been much of success outside
of the home, for the simple reason that
human beings have different tastes and
desires, and that those who prepare meals
as business are seeking profits rather
than to satisfy their patrons.
Community kitchens have never realized
that they must make all sorts of varieties
OF things TO please all sorts of people.
But just as the shoe manufacturer utl-
Lies the same machinery, the same
building, the same general materials ana
the same workmen to make all kinds of
shoes, slippers and boots, SO the COM
munity kitchen, considered as food
factory" can and must so vary its
products with the same equipment that
all its customers are pleased.
With this as its underlying principle,
therefore, and with the assured backing
OF large number of subscribers, there
seems to be no reason why the Montclair
Cooperative Kitchen should not succeed
and serve as a model for the whole coun-
try to copy.
