Don't Lose the Pie juice.

To keep the juice in the pie. instead
of using the cloth strips, which spoils
the edge of the pie anyway. have the
bottom crust larger than the pan. Cut
the apples into sections. Before put
ting them in, cover the bottom of the
pastry with half the sugar. One cup
full Of sugar to good-sized pie will
not be too much If the apples are sour.
Lay sections of apples all around the
edge. Then fill in the middle. Add
the rest of the sugar. Roll out the
top crust to fit and lay on. Wet the
edge all around and turn up over the
top crust the surplus of the under
crust. Press down with the fingers,
then mark all around with a fork.
Make a hole in the top of the pie and
wet all over with cold water. The
oven should be fairly hot for the first
15 or 20 minutes. Then the heat may
be reduced so that the apples may
cook thoroughly. 1t will take about
40 minutes to bake good-sized pie.

the many who become satiated II
thrown too often, and by design, In
any one young woman's company.
Before there is an opportunity, which
he fears. of leading up to matrimony
he casts his eyes upon this girl and
that one, wherever he chances to meet
them, fully believing Cupid has won
for him the destined heart mate. He
does not play the role of suitor for
long. His old accustomed weariness
crops out when maidens least expect
1t. They try to make telling hits when
they entertain him by anecdotes con-
corning their girl friends. and bright,
jolly gentlemen who used to be their
beau ideals ere they were discarded
for others that were better liked. Their
hopes of drawing him on were dashed
when he excused himself at the door
for not coming soon again.
1t Is the man who is uncertain as to
whether he has made a conquest over
young woman's heart who is most
likely to be anxious to win her. No

seemed happy one; scarcely no law
for the transgression of turning from
heart that would soon have been
welded because another has been the
attraction found.
These truths should sink down deep
into the souls of men who are given to
being attracted to many girls, casting
off the old love flame to glow again in
new conquest. Let no young girl be-
guile herself into the conviction that
such fickle man will be constant and
satisfied with her. She will share the
same fate in his estimation that the
others experienced-being Tilted in

ATTRACTED BY TOO MANY GIRLS

The little rift within the lovers lutte,

That rotting inwa-dly, slowly molders

Many clever young women think
1t Is not worth while to let a
suitor, whom they would be sure Of
know how really indispensable his COM
pany is, how charmed they are with
him and how gladly they would accept
him as lover with view to having
him for husband. He Is too elated
If not quite little conceited, when
he finds that he is considered a catch

peats the invitation that he must not

CHIEF JUSTICE WHITES JOKE

Although ponderous and learned
and dignified, Chief Justice White of
the Supreme court cracks an occa-
sional joke.
White buys cigars at certain
drug store n Washington, and the
man behiEd the cigar counter has
come to know him well enough to talk
to him rather freely.
One day as he handed the chief
justice his change the cigar salesman
inquired b-eezily, by way of small
talk:

the Supreme court going to decide

ears who has paid her the compliment
of choosing to WOO her from all others
with marriage intent
She tosses her head high in the air
as she laughingly leases him, imply
ing that he is not going to link his
future to a lady like her. From that
time on he supposes that his chances
are slim, If in fact he has any oppor-
tunity to wed this particular maiden.
A somber life girl of this idea leads
who has never known any young
mans preference fer her and who
never looks forward with sweet ex-
pectancy to having an ideal lover, who
may declare himself some one time,
proposing to be nearer and dearer
yet than all others.
If she has not the burden of others
upon her shoulders, she is turning
aside from the path of sunshine will
fully into the shadows that may en-
compass her. 1t has been said that
there is as much perverse nature in
man as in woman. But do they
show it whenever fancy Wills?
BY no means. They know that 1t is
wisest and best not to air their opin-
ions upon this all-important subject,
which means so much to two hearts
that are trying to find out loves
meaning
Perhaps she has higher ambitions
than he could hope to satisfy, 1t oc-
ours to him. Her parents home might
have more money expended in it than
he could promise her in his. II he
takes her at her word, then of what
use are arguments or love refrains?
1t is simply waste of time, he con-
cludes.
They part, and at that time she dis
plays more feeling for him than on
any previous occasion. She holds out
her hand and, with an air of sincerity,
half whispers. Let us always be good
friends whenever we see each other"
He is far and away from her ere she
has time to think If she will be happy
when single.
Time passes on, and with it his at
tention is attracted to another girl
one of just the opposite belief from
his former ideal. She has kind word
to say about the many married couples
whom she knows and prizes highly.
Her looks and the tone of her voice
bear unmistakable tendencies that
warns his very soul He knew this
unspoken devotion had been wanting
before. The CHEEKY smile of the glad
maiden who comes to open the door
of the unpretentious home for him was
double assurance that he was well
come.
He puts heart. soul and energy into
his suit to win her, and was never
sorry that he had given up one single
young woman for her future happi.

PLEASANT TOM TAGGART

The power of personality never
was better illustrated than in the ca
reer of Thomas Taggart, the Indi-
ana-and political leader.
Irish by birth, Taggart must have
caressed the blarney stone from the
earliest days of his infancy to the day
of his departure for American shores.
This is not to say that he is an orator.
He is nothing of the sort. On the con-
trary, he is no speechmaker at all.
But when it comes to saying quickly,
In private conversation, or in passing
greeting, the right thing in the right
way at the right moment, Taggart is
without superior in the whole coun-
try. Not even his bitterest enemy will
find the slightest fault with Taggart's
ever-brilliant. ever-pleasant smile.

began life. That was his talent and

1t would seem to me that few Of our

What sweetheart could feel secure
in the promise of future happiness. no
matter how devoted her lover might
appear to be, II time and time again
he found an opportunity of trying her
disposition on some trifiing pretext?
A young woman who has had faith in
a lover she believed to be ideal and
found out some disagreeable ten
denotes on his part should ponder well
ere she decides to break the tie Of be-
trothal, closing her eyes and ears to
his past proclivity and misdemeanors

are pouting over! Why, N is just his

He has been used to talking as it suits
him. He has sown his wild oats. and
young women are not inclined to turn
their backs upon him."
A lover of this kind Is apt to take
much of his time in reaping the har-
vest sown. II he sees sweetheart
pouting when he keeps her waiting
in her parlor over an hour for his
coming, or II he contributes little to
her happiness by not inviting her to

heart upon going to, there is a lapse OF
his visits which she cannot account
