cried the Weekend Hostess as she
watched the last auto sweep from her

chilly Monday morning. There goes

have good time with us this weekend
She Is one of the incest girls / know
Yet the whole thing was spoilt by the
goings on of that dreadful Dorothy!"
81 quite agree with YOU" replied her
friend refectively "It strikes me as
most extraordinary that some girls will
invariably act the way they do! Dorothy
is quite Il klnd-hearted girl at bottom,

she tramples on every ones feelings to
attain her own ends"
And she generally does manage to

they take girl of the type of Dorothy

Hostess, wrinkling her brows perplexedly

Now. yesterday afternoon, that nice fel-
low Jim Smith was anxious TO take Mary
for a walk, and he asked me to help
him TO arrange 1t. He has been in love
with Mary for months and months, but
she keeps him rather at a distance and
the poor fellow Is dreadfully shy any

Betrothal Customs

There are many curious betrothal Gus
toms in Germany that are found In no
place else in the world. AS soon as a
German girl is betrothed she is addressed
as bride" by her Aance. The betrothal
is a more serious affair than in England,
and is not so easily broken.
Immediately upon the betrothal the
lovers exchange rings, which, II the course
OF true love runs smooth are to be worn
ever afterwards. The woman wears her
betrothal ring on the third finger of her
left hand until she is married, and then
It is transferred to the third finger of
her right hand The man continues to
wear his ring Just as the wife wore hers
when she was a bride.

What Other
Housewives Know
RED TOMATO CATSUP.

RED TOMATO CATSIP.
The following ingredients are re-
quired: Two white onions, 40 small to-
rnatoes. one red pepper one cupful Of
cider vinegar, three-quarters cupful Of
granulated sugar, one teamspoonful Of
cinnamon. one teaspoonful OF turmeric,
orc teaspoonfuI of paprika one-half tea
spoonful Of mace, one tablespoonful Of
salt
Wash the tomatoes carefully. and cut
them into pieces, but do not skin them.
Put onions and seeded pepper through
a food chopper Place all these ingred-
tents in a kettle, add the vinegar and
boil until very soft. Then rub through
a wire sieve. Next put the mixture
back into the kettle. add sugar and
spices and boil until the bulk Is re-
duced 10 one-thrd. Now pour into
glasses, and cover carefully with paper
It Is sometimes rather difficult to dis
cover if the mass has really become re-
duced by one-third. The best plan is
TO dip either clean stick or the handle
of a wooden spoon at the beginning OF
operations into the kettle and mark the
depth. Then later dip this in again, when
1t will be a simple matter TO ascertain
the final depth and compare it with the
original.

The Cult of Cold Water
Advice Which Will Bring Health and Happiness Into the Home

If such be the case. and a warm bath be

lowed by the cold shower. The water

cold are to be avoided. The digestive

serve her health and beauty, and TO this
end the cult Of cold water is most heart
lily recommended.

BULLDOGS DEFEAT
 TEXAS L0NCH0RNS
HENDRIX WINS, 49 TO 0
SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PROVES TOO EASY FOR
 LOCAL ELEVEN.

The Hendrix College football ma chine, moving with a precision and punch which were irresistible, defeat ed the husky eleven representing Southwestern University of George town, Tex, 49 to o, on Russell field yesterday afternoon. The Texans were thoroughly defeated and humili- ated by Coach Headrick's team, the figures truly representing the differ ence between the two elevens.
 The large crowd which journeyed to Russell field gazed upon the unev- en conflict in amazement. They had gone to the game hoping to see the Bulldogs win, but they could not prop erly enthuse over such a complete rout. It was too easy; it had all the events of a day dream to the specta- tors.
 The Bulldogs were full of winning pepper, and displayed brand of foot ball that completely bewildered the Southwesterners. Only straight foot ball was resorted by Headrick's warriors, for on the sideline were sev- eral scouts from Henderson Brown College, hoping to gain some knowl- edge that might be of value to the Reddies when Henderson Brown and Hendrix meet in the championship battle on Turkey day at Philadelphia. The Rixmen won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. Capt. Har- ton kicked to Southwestern 10-yard line, the ball being returned 10 yards. The visitors fumbled on the first play, then kicked, Hendrix returning the lpigskin to Southwestern's 25-yard line. Harton, Holmes, Anderson and Fulmer carried the ball to the Tex ans one-yard line and Big Joe Holmes bored his way through the mass of players, planting the oval

The heavy hand of the law will soon oegln to fall upon reckless and care less automobile drivers in Conway, if the instructions given the municipal peace officers by the city council last night are carried out. In response to numerous complaints of speeding and reckless driving, especially in the business district, the council last night adopted a motion calling upon the mayor and marshal to make A strict enforcement of the ordinance covering this offense. Mayor Jones stated today that he had instructed the marshals promptly to arrest any one guilty of violating this ordinance and the officers declare that sharp lookout for such violations will be maintained

 ed. The same amount is levied for 1916. From that year to 1924, when the final installment will be collected, the levy is gradually reduced. being 1-2 per cent for 1918 and 1919, 9 per cent for 1920, 8 1-2 per cent for 1921, per cent for 1922, 1-2 per cent for 1923, and 2 per cent for 1924.

beyond Southwestern goal line for the first touchdown. Anderson kick ed goal
 After this first marker the result of the battle was never in doubt. A total of 28 points was rolled up by the Bulldogs in the first quarter, II in the second, none in the third and 10 in the fourth.
 The Southwestern team averaged about 10 pounds per man heavier than the Hendrix outfit, but the Bull dogs superior interference and team work caused the Texans downfall. Hendrix ran the four-man interfer- ence, which proved very effective.
 Quarterback Anderson was perhaps Hendrix individual star. His squirm- ing by the Southwestern players in returning punts was spectacular. He kicked five goals from touchdowns out of six trials, and two goals from field which enthused the Hendrix cohorts. Capt. Harton, Holmes, Ful.ner and Giles also played a wonderful game. Nelmes and Scroggins put up the best game for the Southwestern aggrega- tion.
 According to the dope gathered from the contests between Henderson Brown and Southwestern and Hen- drix and Southwestern, Hendrix should win the battle at Philadelphia on November 26 The Reddies won from the Texans 28 to 6, while Hen- drix beat them 49 to 0.
