There are few families in which the
girl can afford to dawdle. When you

make any plans with that in view?
Why Not Fool Them?
don't wonder that your des-

off to the first man who evinces any
interest in you; but why don't you
fool them? It's not too late to learn
something in which you can be self

them see that you don't have to be
married. If you only could show
them your first pay envelope. even
though it contained but IS at first,
their hectic desire to get rid of you
would subside. They act that way
because they haven't any respect for
you. Make them respect you and

- ERHAPS not all people are

larly known as grapefruit was
introduced by the Spaniards
into Florida. At first it was not at
all liked or recognized as a valuabls
new table addition. but the immense
industry of raising grapefruit at the
present time proves its hearty well
come everywhere. Its true name is
the "pomelo." and it belongs to the
lemon and lime family, and was
wrongfu!ty called grapefruit because
of the clusterllke manner in which
the fruit hangs from the branches.
Like other members of the family.
the grapefruit contains large per
centage of citric acid. which is
stomatic and Pefresher Of the blood.
If the fruit is perfectly ripe 1T does

sugar should be added to draw away

Serving of the Fruit.
Only recens'y has the grapefruit
been utilized for the making of pre-
serves. but we are now being offered
several makes of excellent grapefruit
marmalade which are just as piquant
and delicious on our morning toast
as any of the familiar orange
marmalades. Again. the juice OF
the grapefruit is being manufac-
tured into an excellent beverage
after the manner of grapejuice. =
few tablespoonfuls of this .concen-
trated juice converts glass of

fruit made at home Is in the pro-
portion of two of grapefruit to one

lently with grapefruit in such con-
serves.

is facilitated by the use of the right

grapefruit is by weight, as the
heavier the fruit, the more juicy It,
is. and there is a knack Of telling
which is the most juicy, by pressure
with the thumb which will discrimi-
nate between the pulpy or the fibrous
kind.
