DEFENDING LOVE.

For several virtues have I liked sew
 eral women;
 Never any with so full soul But some defect in her
 Did quarrel with the noblest sgrace she
 owned
 And put it. to the foil''
 Have you ever noticed that the more a young mans family has to say about the lassie who has won his heart the more braveIy and manfulIy he defends her from their attacks2 Instead of causing a coldness between the lovers it has the effect of binding him the more closely to her. No matter how high a man may stand socially or how humb1y placed in this workaday world lifelong feeling of resentment toward the would-be friend who attempts to advise him that he is marrying beneath him.
 He will be apt to tell the meddIer a few things that he won't be able to forget very easily, namely, that an honest, true woman who earns her bread by hard labor is a jewel beyond price; that it is an honor to a man to be able to win her. Furthermore, that marriage is the concern of the two contra ctinga parties, and that no one who has not the best of reasons should interfere.
 The same truth holds good in regard to the man who has taken unto him. self a wife who pleases him. but dis pleases the family. Wise relatives will accept the situation and refrain from attempting to wrest the wife's inf1u- ence from her. With his marriage life with the old folks is a page in his life's history which has been turned and by Times method sealed securely down. On the new page on which he has in- scribed his name but one other name appears-that of her whom he has vowed to love, cherish, and cleave to, and with a greater love than he has ever known before.
 It is not to be understood that the affection which a man bears his home folks should be uprooted and cast out by his marriage. Mother H1 love still rests on it's pedestal on his heart. F-a- ther, sisters and brothers have a place
 their own, which the most dearly loved wife could not oust If she whom he has chosen for his life part ner has kindliness of nature. syInpa- thy for his eagerness to live peacefully and true love for him, she will refrain from sarcasm in speaking of his fam ily. The most peaceful of men will not permit even a wife to speak light ly Of his mother without bridling up love that was his staff in his childhood days
 It is never wise or best to. stir up bit terness by revi1ing a, love which an- other holds sacred. It is sure to cause a wound. It may heal, but the scar will always remain. Dearer, if it could be so, is a mans mother to him if she sandfold is the wife to him who loves and reveres his mother and all the dear ones who were first in his heart until he met and loved her.

ToDAY's POEM
APRIL NOON

Silence. Faint warmth of the awak- ening sun Drowned in pale light. The mea- dows lapse away Ridges of brown and slopes of salIow gray To where the leafless hills, are -dus- ky-dun. Earth holds her breath, and waits while slowly run The ordered hours in pitiless de lay Fearing the vanished snows of yesterday, Nor daring yet to deem the Sum- mer won. As sick. woman from the house of death But newly ransomed. overweak to For life renewed and love made warm again, Paints slowly back to life with each calm breath, Finding joy almost too keen to bear Only in this, that there is nc
 more pain. From poems by Brian Hooker,
 Yale University Press.

would strongly advise you to mingle in the society of women-the kind that are good and true-who will sympa- thize with you in your loneliness, and in whose companionship you will learn lffe's best lesson-to live and learn to forget There is happiness in store for you yet if you will but look for it. Some living. beating heart is wait ing for you. Be of good cheer and be- 1ieve:
 ''No one is so accursed by fate
 No one so utterly desolate-
 But some heart, although unknown,
 Beats responsive to it's own
 Find some one to love. and marry

CORNER FOR COOKS
Curried Eoqs

Heat two cups of stock with two teaspoons of curry powder and a. lit tie onion juice and then add a cup of rich milk, heated and thickened with a couple of teaspoons of flour and rubbed smooth in a little cold milk or butter. Cook the whole mixture until it is smooth and thick and pour over hot boiled eggs, cut in quarters.
 Hamburg Steak
 Make a loaf of hamburg steak and cover with very thin strips of ba- con. Bake thoroughly, basting oc- casionally with the fat in the pan and melted butter. and serve with tomato sauce.
 Corned Beef
 After corned beef has been serv- ed hot, return it to the water in which it was cooked and bring it to the boiling point. Then let it stand over night to cool in this liquor. This method makes the meat tenderer and juicer.
 Stuffed Tomato Salad
 Now that tomatoes are on the mar ket, wouldn't you like a stuffed to- mato salad? The ingredients for this are six medium sized tomatoes. two cupfuls cooked cold mutton or beef, finely chopped, one head of lettuce and French and nnayonnaise dressing, salt, pepper, onion juice and chopped parsley. Plunge the to- matoes into boiling water and re- move the skins. Place them in re- frigerator until chilled. Cut slice from the stem end and scoop out the seeds and watery part. Season with salt, pepper and a few drops of on- ion juice. Stuff the tomatoes with meat and eggs, which have been mixed together and seasoned with the
 
 lettuce leaves. Decorate the top of each tomato with teaspoonful of

Dear Miss Libbey:

She goes by our place morning and even ing; waves at me. If we meet she. starts conversation Of applying for school. I told a man I work for hoped she got the school. Since work. for another. Her father came and saw me They told what I had said. He replied he would do all he could for me. Ought I to have said that? It is advisable for me to go after school, to help right her desks and lift her heavy books? Should Ychat with her. or not2
 M H. C. It was very nice of you to speak enceuragingly as to hope she would get the school. You might ask if you could aid by lighting the desks and heavy books. It's no harm to chat with her.

AN EXCELLENT MODEL OF ITS KIND.

blouse. The woman who can direct a seamstress or who sews herself can make charming tailored blouses for less than half what they cost in the shops The design Illustrated here can be de- ve1oped with great ease, despite the fact that it requires great nicety in the finish of the details. No lining is re- quired and only 25z yards Of 36-inch
 material. The front may be tucked or gathered at the shoulder, and the necks and sleeves are finished with white linen bound with narrow folds of color. , The back requires care in the cutting since it extends over to the front to form shoulder yoke It is laid on a fold of the material so that there will be no seam The first part of the pat tern laid on the goods, however, is the front of the waist, and this is arranged on lengthwise thread To the right of this and opposite the back are placed the revers and piecing for the side front Then comes the sleeve-to the right of the back. and following the sleeve, the cuff and the turnover, the latter being laid on crosswise fold of the goods.
 Buttonholes, which are the bugbear of so many home dressnakers. may be replaced by tiny loops of braid thus greatly simplifying the construction of the waist.
 Stripes are such a fashionable fad just now that this model would be uI- smart carried out in a pin- striped or line batiste, with revers and cuffs in solid color to match the stripes.

HE SHOULD RETURN
 YOUR RING
Dear Miss Ldbbey:-

Dear Miss Ldbbey.-
 have been keeping company with a young man of twenty three. I am a girl of nineteen. He goes with me one Sunday, then with girl .chum of mine the next Sunday. Tells me he can't love her. Is it proper for me to quit him? He has one of my rings: won't give it up. Would it be proper for me to ask him for it? Please ad- wise your reader.
 N. c. It appears your chum has as much right to believe she is keeping com pany with this young man as you have. No doubt he tells her she is the only one he cares for. Ask him to choose between you. Suggest YOU would like to have your ring.
