herself facing a reahy serious situa-

First. she must learn to make
these inexpensive dishes so well tnat
they cannot fail to be appetizing.
No mere male can be blamed for
not relishing some of the inano
mixtures put before him on the
plea OF economy. AS we have said
over and over again, the same man
served at home pays good sum for
the same type of stew in some little
restaurant which boasts IoreIgn

dish at home If il were as we'll
cooked as in his foreign haunts:
Friend Husband, too, should shoul-
der part OF the blame because ne

preferences for delIcacies. Why
shouldn't little Billy prefer lemon

he hears that papa does also? II

CANT as the purse allows. But ir
there are a group of children ana
adults there is only one of Two
courses open-either to have two
entirely different tables or to have

to so-called "pssn food" devoid

spices, do not miss the more hSn-

Keeping Her At Home.
But about the girls. Why should
girl sell tickets to any kind of a
game that she can't go and see?
Women have been doing that all their
lives, ever since they were born-sellng
tickets to somebody else's game-and
they're getting tired Of it. getting woe
fully tired Of 1t. That's why so many
many women are determined they won't
live at home another day: That's why
so many girls would rather live In
little hall bedroom in a dark. stuffy,
smelly little boarding house than to
stay at home In a pretty house and
have somebody telling them how to
breathe. and what to eat, and what to
to wear every time they turn around.
The boy of the family grows up some
time--thc girl never does. The boy in
the family gets to be twenty-one and
he buys his own clothes and spends his
own evenings and takes his own girl
to the theater of his own choosing. The
girl of the family sits at home and
gets bossed-that is. the old-fashioned
girl used to-

may not be a great while before 1t
finds itself without anything to fight

It has been given out semi officially
that the Republican party will no
longer oppose the ship purchase bill,
the passage of which at the last ses-
sion Of congress, they prevented. the
previous opposition has been merely for
party reasons, Of course. as heretofore
the Republican party has been strongly
committed to the development OF an
merchant marine. Under the
circumstances, it Is not expected n
the Republicans will endorse the Will
son measure; but rather that they will
content themselves with a "digniied
protest." and let it go at that. II the
bill passes, there will very probably
come up the question as to whether the
American government may properly
purchase the various German ships
now interned at various American
ports. Naturally the AlliesIGreat
Britain particularly-will object. The
reason they will assign will be the
advantage that will accrue to Germany
in getting cash for property that Is OF
no use to her. The real reason will
be the tremendous advantage that will
accrue to America because Of this ad-
dition to her ocean carrying capacity.
There are ways by which any reason
able objection IN the part Of Great
Britain can be met; but as to whether
she can be really r%econciled is very
doubtful.

The War Situation.

There has been no appreciate de-
monstration Of activities on any of
the various fronts; but the interest Of
the world is now setting on the de-
velopments in the Balkans.
The probable course of Bulgaria has
been a subject Of very great concern
to all the belligerents almost from the
beginning Of the war, and now that
Bulgaria has cast her lot with Germany
and Austria, there Is no concealing the
fact that the task Of the Allies has
been very much enlarged.
If the Importance Of the forcing Of
the Dardanelles were not already ap-
parent to the outside world, they
would be able to recognize it because
Of the tremendous amount Of blood
and treasure that the Allies have al
ready expended to that end.
1t seems to be certain as a matter Of
course that if the powerful Austro-
German army that is now pushing it's
way into Servia, succeeds in ~effecting
a junction with the Bulgarians. there
will be nothing to hinder it's progress
on down to Gallipoli, and practically
all the work the Allies have done there
will have been for naught.
There is no talk Of peace in any
quarter; but taking the general stu
alton as it appears on the face Of the
dispatches, it does not appear that the
Allies have much cause for encourage
ment.
