which to base a judgment that the eXer-

There Ia no question but that there
Is no useful purpose for dog In the

AUNT LANES HINTS
 TO HOUSEWIVES TO
 CUT COST OF LIVING

'tAn inexpensive dish that looks. sounds and eats like an expensive one.'' remarked Aunt Jane, Jas she removed the cover from a quart oys- ter container, S-is this same .stewed fish with oysters that I'm making. It Jgives one an agreeable change from the regular fish and oyster dishes by the simple expedient| of mixing the two.
 You just cut your fish into DOT tions, remove the skin and the bone, and put it in the bottom of stew pan, having previously prepared the pan with -a-thick coating of butter Season each layer of fish with salt and pepper, and pour on enough boil ing water to cover the fish. Add a tab1espoonfuIof lemon juice, or of vinegar. and simmer until the fish is cooked but not broken. It usually takes about fifteen or twenty min ltes.
 Then add tablespoonful of four cooked in a tablesp poonfu1 of hot but ter. mixing this well with the boiling liquid in the stew pan. and taking care not to break the fish.
 Add a quart of oysters, and sim mer until the oysters show plump. If you wish, ada more seasoning. It should be served very hot.''

teristic that is Keeping them

teristic that is keeping them up through these. trying days"
 Aside from the matters unentioneds however, there is no lack of indica- tion that war is going on. Chief among these is the great number or wounded soldiers in the streets. In. no other city-either in Germany or -Hungary-visited by the As sociated Press representative since the outbreak of the war have there been so many. So great are their numbers that they almost form procession on pleasant afternoons along the prin- >cipa1 thoroughfares. The number Of unwounded soldiers in the streets is small, compared with Berlin.
 The second striking indication Of abn0rinaI 1onditfons is the price Of food. Ham-to note but one item costs six crowns the pound. At the normal rate of exchange this figures out about $1.2O. Restaurant prices are 100 to 200 per cent greater than those in restaurants of the same rank in German cities. No bread can be had without bread cards, and the daily quantum is somewhat smaller than that allowed in Germany. Hotel guests receive daily cards emitting them to 210 grams, a bit less than 2 1-2 ounces.

vIENNESE PROUD
 OF THE WAY THEY
 TREAT FOREIGNERS
Say They Are Lenient With In- termed and Are Not So
 Hostile As Others.

Vienna, Austria, Nov. 23-The Vii ennese are proud of the fact that they have dealth 1eniently with the Eng fish, French and Russians in the cap ita1. Only suspicious characters have been interned. and among the '*enemy aliens' at large in the city there is far more freedom than in Berlin and most of the other German cities. The visitor from Berlin, for instance, is surprised to find that any language may be spoken freely over thu tele- phone. Nothing but German is per nnitted in Berlin, and even a mis- pronunciation of g, German word may be followed by a polite but firm re- quest from the telephone operator to Speak German, please" The second soffense mems a severed connection.
 Aside from the freedom of the te1e- phone, the Vienpese mix without much friction in the cafes with the young /Englishmen, F'renchmen or Russians. The cafe de Paris has been renamed the fNachtfalter, but the Carl ton Bar retains it's name, and the English, French. and Russian lam guage is heard there without excit- ing any protests from the lViennese who may be present. In fact, when pianistN plays some popular English song. such as You Made Me Love You,'' the Viennese may be heard humn1ing it or even singing the Eng fish words softly. The closing hour of the public drinking and eating places is now fixed at one o'clock in the morning, but most of the places of the better class are permitted to do business until two o'clock.
 In the bearing of the Viennese there is comparatively little indicative of war. Not so much mourning is worn as in some other cities.
 ''You must not think that we are taking the war lightly said one of the residents. s'We have had our full share of sacrifices and suffering. But it is bad enough as it is, without go- ing about with g1um faces and sor- rowing all the time. There is little enough pleasure left in life The viennese are naturally a pleasure-lov- ing people. It is fortunate that they have not, the capacity of sorrowing continuously. It is this very charac-

Whenever a childless wife sees her 'husband's eyes follow wistfully some happy. father who has a troop of ba- bies following after him, the longing for child in her own home resolves into the determination to adopt one, that his heart hunger may be ap- 'peased.
 The head of the house usually makes strenuous protest to the proposition at first, declaring, if he cannot have children of his own he sees no com fort in fathering othcr peoples Yet he does not refuse h's wife the priv ilege of housing this wee founding, that one,1 for a week or so at a time if she finds pleasure in it. A score or more of such infants may come and go without awakening any particular inteerst in his breast, but thereN is always one who will at last touch the golden chord in his heart Some one waif will seem to have the intuition, the moment its eyes meet his, that he has the power to make it's future bed one of roses if he takes to it and keeps it, or makes it's fu- ture path cruel with thorns if it is returned to the orphans. home later on to be cast on the cola world to, battle for life and food as best it can.
 That baby makes direct appeal to him, coos with delight, holding out it's arms to m, refusing to be comfoFted
  tering to his vanity and at the same time warns his heart. The touch of the baby's fingers closing around his own. the weight of the little head aI11k-- ious to nestle against his breast, touch the hidden supring of interest and open wide the door of liking. Baby will go to no one but him, all its anec- tion fs< for him only.
 Despite his protestation that one youngster is the same as another to him. slowly, by degrees, he begins to care for it. When his wife reminds about to expire and a renewal refused, he remarks that it might not be a bad idea, after all, to keep it, even if that does mean adopting it.
 As the years go on both grow as fond of it as though it was theirf own flesh and blood, but they expect full measure of love in return. If they have succeeded ln getting a child who has no kfth or kin their fond hopes are realized more often than not If the child has nearer and dearer ties they may be apt to assert themselves most unpIeasantly, much to the worry of the foster parents. The mother, in those earlier years, may have relinquished all claim to the little one, yet that cannot and never will change the heart of the woman responsible for that 1tt- kt1e ones being. Her yearhineft to be apt to sweep aside all barriers in her effort to win. it's affection. The foster parents resent it. Those who are mothers understand the situation from a mothers viewpoint and sympathize, with her.
 If a decision is left with the child, who can blame him for answering to the call, of nature He loves those who have housed and loved him with all his childish nature. but how can he withstand the mother call, the strongest heart tie and influence God ever created2 Let those who would adopt babies reckon not only with the ideal present, but the future, not forgetting.
