Counting In SPAN.

In sunny Spain etiquette is so very
restrictive in the matter Of courtship
that it is wonder that young people
ever manage to get married at all.
Even when, after many difficulties. the
engagement is accomplished, the par
ents have a deciding voice In fixing
the date. and, as they prefer long en-
gagements. the wedding day is usually
fixed somewhere in the dim future.
The best man and maid Of honor are
expected not only to fulfill the usual
duties, but to contribute-sometim
very substantially-to the expenses of
the wedding feast. Wedding cake is
unknown. but instead packets Of sugar

CHICAGO KNOWS THAT THE

While the flame of the open GAS jet is
white and comparatively cool.
Gas for a hot, blue flame should be
tested for its HEAT UNITS.
Gas for white, luminous flame should

The blue-fame appliances now form a
big family. In addition to the fiat iron, it
includes the mantle light, the cooking
range, the water heater, the space heater
and the factory fire.
All together, this family now consumes
98% of the gas manufactured.
The one and only lone member of the
