mentary in His Remarks on
Martial Happiness.

Arnold Bennett, the famous English
novelist. talks about how men feel
when they are engaged or married.
They realize that they have married
human beings instead of divine god
desses. Bennett says:
"The process of reasoning is not SCI
entific, and inevitably it must bring
disillusion, which means complica-
lions. The disillusion is precipitatcd
by the universal instinct to over-esti-
mate that which one desires and to
der-estimate that which one has got.
See the young husband as he watches
his newly acquired wife enter q
trends drawing room. His anxiety.
which he often inadequately conceals.
is touching. Aforetimc. the entrance
of that same young woman into a
drawing room never caused him the
slightest apprehension. On the con-
trary, it filled him with delight and
thanksgivings. Then, her imperfec-
tons, if she had any, somehow consti-
tuted a perfection. If she was tact
turn, her silences were beautifully ex-
pressive. If she grabbed. the stream
of chatter was delicious. If she was
awkward, n secret grace was in her
awkwardness. But now that he has
got her, the vain fellow is intensely
afraid lest she may fail to prove to the
world the excellence of his taste."-

BACON AND SAUSAGE

Thin people are apt to lose weight
in summer because tley eat unwisely,
while those already too stout are prone
to increase for the same reason. es-
pecially if they take no exercise. A
body under weight should be parttcu-
larry careful not to decrease the foods
easily converted into fat and energy.
The usual custom Of reducing meat
in the hot weather dietary is wise I'M
less this means Il too marked increase
in the starchy foods, such as potatoes.
corn, rice, breaI, etc. The carbohy-
drates are more difficult Of digestion
and assimilation than the proteid of
meat which is quickly turned into en-
ergy. and an excess Of them in warm,
weather will often disturb the diges-
tive system, or cause an undue flesh
accumulation.
Workers, and most people are work.
ers in the warm months as we'll as in
the cold, need energy producing foods.
During the summer they should choose
food that provides energy in concen-
trated, easily digested form. and rel,
on salads and fruit for bulk as we'll as
for the useful salts they contain.
Among the concentrated foods partic-
ularly adaptible to summer needs are
tacon and dry. or summer sausage.

HER mILkINe.PAiL

When Doris took her milking-pah
To cross the dewy meadow;
The eastern sky was golden pale.
The valley lay in shadow;
followed slowly, not too near,
And softly, lest the maid should hear
The wet, white daisies bent to touch
Her slender foot, and kiss 1t;
envied them this pleasure much.
Since I'd been doomed to miss It;
And thought the flowers were treated
far
More kindly than some lovers are!
Behind a thorn stood to watch
Her coax the COW. and chide her;
And humming at a merry catch,
Set the small stool beside her;
While freshly, as she could have
wished,
The milk through dimpled fingers
swished.
Thought /, "This chance must not
miss!
Her milll-pail home I'll carry:
And in return, demand a kiss,
For milkmaids are not chary;
The poets sing: If SWANS be brave.
Hence, my reward I'll boldly crave.
But when at length would have slept
Toward the maid with fervor,
Young Stephen DER the hedge had
leapt
With like intent to serve her;
And lest his chance might later fail.
Took, first, kiss, and then, the pail!
Unseen, 1 sought shaded path.
And left the lovers cooling;
But now my verse a moral hath:
Whatever's worth the doing
You'll find-each day the story tells
Is being done by some one else!

Miss Minnie ]. Nelson, president Of
the state federation, in her annual ad-
dress declared the greatest work be-
fore the women's clubs Of this state,
and, In fact, the clubs Of the entire
Northwest, had to do with the rural
communities.
1.-THE women of the rural districts
are entitled to the same advantages
that accrue to the women Of the
city," said Miss Nelson. "Let the
women's clubs carry the message to
them; let the clubs take the initiative
in opening new things to the women
of the country"

its fat is the easiest digested of any of
the animal fats; it is easy to keep
without ice, it stimulates appetite. and
as the old expression is a little of it
goes a long way" These are some of
the reasons that make bacon a reliable
summer meat.
To many American housewives the
word sausage calls to mind the hot
sizzling breakfast dainty associated
with buckwheat cakes and frosty
mornings. The dry or summer sau-
sage is a ready-to-eat edible, highly
spiced and seasoned. which can be
kept without ice. In very hot coun-
tries. such as Italy. Spain and southern
France, the dry sausage is highly esti-
mated
