MISS LIBBEY,S REPLIES
 TO YOUR LETTERS

CHASING A MAN
Dear Miss Libbey:

Dear Miss Libbey:
 I am husband and the father of three daughters, aged twenty-nine, twenty-six and twenty<three- I am a -saiaried man, earning a fair income, and might have comfortable home and a prospect of saving something for my old age if it were not for the unsuitable desire of my wife to let the money fly in all directions. for what she calls pushing the girls" Now, in my young days Ttnever heard of such thing as young women being pushed to get them married. A man met a young woman who struck his fancy and it was up to him to find out who she was, get an introduction, and push himself forward, asking to call upon her, and so forth. want to ask if it is indeed true that the world and it's ways have changed so completely. hold that young worn- en should go about their usual occu- pations in day time and visit the young people they know in the even ings. If that isn't the way to bring young people together, don't know what is, and, best of all, and more inn portant, it doesn't drain the fathers pocketbook- I'd like to know your opinion. H. B.
 A houseful of daughters gives a family much responsibility. as well as pleasure Naturally, a. mother is anxious to place her girls in a posi- tion where they will see and be seen. At the same time it is not wise or best to draw too heavily on the fam fly purse for this purpose. It is the law of nature for young people to meet, fall in love, woo, and wed. Min gling in the society of young folks has been the royal road to marriage, as we'll as giving young girls the pleasure and profit of each others society.
 Where so much money is expended to push girls, there's a screw loose

AN ODD MAsHoIorH.

Here is something for those of you who are interested in keeping your complexions and hands in good con ditfon, despite winds that bite and nip.
 Get q bag or package of rolled oats the next time you pass the grocery store, and when you arrive home go to the sewing room and cut out nu- merous squares of thin cheesec1oth, about i've inches by one and a half inches.
 Sort these squares into pairs, then sow them on three sides and half way you tiny bags which you must fill with the rolled oats.
 Now take up your needle again and stitch together the tiny openings left in each bag. as it would not do to have the oats pouring out peH-mell

Lemon Pfckle.

Choose medium sized lemons with very nice skins. wash them, dry them thoroughly, gash them deeply length ways in four places, fill the gashes with salt, and Stand the lemons up- right in a pan for a week, turning them in the brine once each day; then pour the brine into preserv- ing pan with whole ginger, pepper corns and, mustard seeds to flavor well. and as much vinegar as you may judge necessary for the number of lemons. you are picking. Bring the pickle to boiling point and simmer it gently for fifteen minutes. then strain it into jar. and when it is cold put in the lemons with a clove of garlic to each half dozen lemons. This is a most excellent pickle for serving with hot roast veal and fowl or for
 1avoring gravfes, and the older it is the better favored it will be found.

a second in that direction, her heart thudding So violently at sight of the diary and papers there that she was fearful she would be heard Along side the papers, its facets sending out a million flashes of reddest blood, lay the strand of rubies. She marked the involuntary fexing of the thief hands as he tfptoed toward them.
 Not sound disturbed the silence. but something caused her to dart a swift glance at the sleeper. His eyes were narrowed. but opens lights of amused malice in them she had never suspected could show in mortal eyes, lights so malignant she shuddered even as she would have opened her lips to cry a warning The butler-thief drew closer to the prize he had worked so hard to gain. His thiefss fingers were outstretched to grasp the necklace. when. with a crash, the lamp darted toward him, snaashing upon the floor and leaving utter blackness in its wake.
 Upon the heels of his startled alarm came chuckling laugh from Lou beque a laugh that matched the evil that had glowed from his eyes 80 scant before. Came a gurgled oath. the heavy breathing of strong men in combat

MeIon Pickle.

Pare off the rind from one or two just ripe melons, remove the seeds and pith and cut the melons into moderately large squares about. half an inch in thickness Cover the fruit with cold vinegar for ten days, then remove it into a saucepan with fresh vinegar, and simmer as gently as pos sible until it is tender, but not bro ken. Drain the fruit upon an invert- ed sieve and when cold put it into glass pars. Next make g, pickle with ten ounces of loaf sugar to each pint of vinegar, add a slight favoring of lemon or ginger as preferred. and boil for twenty minutes. When the pickle is cold fill up the jars with it which then tie down closely or cork tightly, as most convenient. This ie a very delicate pickle

Banana Conserve.

Skin a dozen barely ripe bananas and cut them into rather thick slices. Peel and cut into moderate sized cubes two or three pounds of barely ripe m eIon. Drain the syrup from a small jar of preserved ginger, and slice the ginger yourself as you did the bananas. Sprinkle the bananas and melon with two teaspoonfuls of salt and pound of powdered sugar, and stand on one side for twenty-four hours then put the juice which has run from the fruit, the ginger syrup and one and a half pints of vinegar into a preserving pan; bring to the boil and simmer for ten minutes, re- moving all scum as 1t arises until they are just tender without being broken. Add the ginger, give the whole one boil up, pour into glass jars and GOV CT immediately It will be found most delicious either with roast game or venison or as an uncommon con serve fer the breakfast table.

oPERATIC PARIS IN TIME OF WAR

Han-past 8 in the morning found me outside the little Church of St. Pierre de Chai1lot, a few blocks west of the Champs Elysees. The portal was simply draped in black. Enter ing, T found the altar lit and perhaps two dozen persons seated. Leaning against a, column in the rear I saw someone whose figure and face were familiar. There were tears in his. 5eyes. Approaching, I realized that it was none, other than Jean de Reszke. t'Sar?' he repeated. t.Ah. sad in deedI War was no sooner declared than my only boy, 24 years of age, took the first train for our summer house in Deauville to volunteer He like myself, is Russian subject, but as he could not go to Russia he would fight with the French and now he is a cuirassier- His mother is hearthro- ken. And now this morning we are here at the funeral of this dear old friend and comrade.' ''
 As M de Deszke finished these words the funeral cortege arrived, and soon before the altar lay all that was mortal of Pol P1ancom. The cere- mony was simple and brief. I heard the beautiful bass voice of a M. Mary sing a Miserere, and I thought of the delight of the audiences on Sunday nights at the Metropolitan Opera house when, responding to their sim cere applause, Plancon would sing Les Deux Grenadiers'' as no one I have ever heard could sing 1t. Can't you feel again the thrill he gave you when at the close he would throw up his arms and the words would come from his lips eOh. what splendid dic- ton was hfsl1 as from a clarion: Marchonsi Marchons!

 If a motor car is wrecked when go- ing 40 miles an hour it's occupant is thrown out against a wall. a post. or a fence with the same force that he would strike if he fell to the ground from a height of 5S.78 feet.
 To get an exact idea of what the force of this impact might be, stand on a. wall or a house 53.7S feet high, look down and contemplate the jump. 3 If this car is going 60 miles an hour the impact Is equivalent to fall of 121 feet The following table gives the force of various speeds an hour.
