REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which 1t
Was Almost impossible for
Him to Lose. {.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of watch. Other
wise silence and gloom pervaded the
elegantly furnished drawing-room.
In one chair sat beautiful girl,
her lips tightly closed, her eyes star
ing straight before her and her every
muscle tense with a powerful effort
of self-control. In another sat
young man whose face expressed Sc
robustness but confidence. In his hand
he held an open watch which he OBJ
served closely, only raising his eyes
now and then to glance at the beauti-
full girl, who seemed to be in such
agony.
Five seconds, ten, fifteen, twenty
seconds passed The position of
neither the young man nor beautiful
girl had changed.
Suddenly her eyes cleaned with a
wild light; she clasped her hands con-
vulsively, and
81 must speak," burst from her
bloodless lips.
"Twenty-four seconds said the
young man, as he closed the watch
and put it back into his pocket. "You
lose the pair of gloves by exactly six
seconds"
He had bet on sure thing.

Worth KNOWING,

No odor of cooking should greet the
guest in a private home, or even an
apartment which claims to be OF the
exclusive class.
A simple and agreeable deodor1zer
may be made of handful of cloves,
allowed to scorch with bits of orange
peel OF. q tin plate in the oven. This
mixture imparts fragrance not I'M
like that of carnations, and, scattered
about the rooms, it will completely
destroy the odor of cooking vegetables
or roasting meats. In the country the
wise housewife may gather sweet
clover and the sprigs, If dried out, VIII
impart fresh and delicious fragrance
to the house linens all next winter
Lavender. that standby of old-time
housekeepers, may be purchased In III
tie bags at trifing cost and makes a

TO COOK ASPARAGUS
MANY WAYS IN WHICH vEce
TABLE MAY BE SERVED
because of Its HeaIth-Givinq Qualities
IL should Be on the Table as
Often as 1t Can Be
Afforded.

Much has been written ond cots
ABOUT the health-giving qualities Of
asparagus. Taking all these qualities
Tor granted, here are some interesting
ways of cooking this vegetable so that
1t may be served many times without
palllng on the most exacting and fas.
tidious appetite:
Baked With cheese.-Drain boiled
asparagus and arrange the stalks
neatly on a buttered baking dish.
Fry a chopped onion in butter and
pour this over the asparagus. Sprinkle
over 1t bread crumbs and grated
cheese and bake brown. The aspara-
gus can be cut into one-inch lengths
for this dish.
Fried Asparagus.-Boil the aspara-
gus, drain it, dip each stalk in beat
en- egg crumbs and fry in deep fat.
Serve with cream sauce.
Creamed.-Cut a bunch or two of
asparagus into one-inch lengths and
Doll until tender. Drain and put into
rlcn, white sauce, rather thick, for
the asparagus contains water that
th1ns it; heat thoroughly, season with
salt and paprika and serve very hot.

stale, rather long, pointed rolls and
fry the rolls golden brown in deep
fat. Drain on brown paper and keep
hot Cut a bunch of asparagus. in
the meantime, into one-inch lengths
and hOiI until foudor Dro;n o-5 o.,A
in a double boiler with cupful Of

Baked Asparagus.-Cut asparagus
into inch lengths and boil. Drain and
put layer in a buttered baking dish.
Season with salt and pepper, dot with
bits of butter. sprinkle with crumbs
and f1nely-minced boiled egg. Add more
asparagus and repeat in the order
mentioned until the dish is filed.
Have crumbs on top and bake brown.
Served CoId.-Boil until tender
stalks of asparagus and drain them.
Chill them and serve them with may
onnaise, with hollandaise or with tar
tar sauce. 1t can also be served
with a sauce of oil and vinegar,

Arnument on Suffrage.

Two women were having ladylike
argument on suffrage in New York
street car. I'm not so old-fashioned
as to insist that our only place is IN
the home, but" said the blonde.
''Well?" asked the brunette, with bat
tie in her dark eyes. Couldn't we
save all this trouble and fuss by just
leaving things as they are? Why can't
we go on letting the men represent US!
They do the very best they can, and
everyone I know has a man some
where or other in the family" The
brunette's voice was calm, but firm.
Jack is a Republican and l am
Democrat How can he represent me
when he can cast only one voter" she
inquired sternly. For few minutes
the little blonde sat very silent. Then
she spoke. why, | never thought OF
that before If you have a misrepre-
sentative man in the family, | suppose
you do need the vote" Her voice sank
in a whisper. But please don't. say !
