HE APPRECIATES sTHE EATS"

Miss R. E. writes: 'I am a young
 woman of "A in quite a dilemma. A young man of about 30 has begun to call on me regularly. I do my best to entertain him with pleasant con- versation and music, but as it draws near 10 o'clock nothing I can say seems to interest him. At last, he says, 'I think I owe you an explana-
 tion, which is that the young ladies
 on whom I have heretofore called
 have been in the. habit of setting out refreshments at this hour-coffee
 and cake, biscuits or something sim liar. I cannot seem to break away from the habit formed or eating
 something tasty at this hour apol- ogized for not having thought of it
 and gave him coffee and toast, having
 nothing else handy. He comes al-
 most every evening. I am a poor
 girl and to be honest, the inroads thi<
 makes/in our cost of living causes the family worry What can I do, Miss Libbey? Can I do differently from what other young women do in trying to make my caller. pass a pleasant evening and dAcome again?'' = In my opinion, the young man is imposing. upon your good nature
 Men are supposed to have eaten their
 dinner-or supper-before paying a, call. They certainly do not expect to be boarded in exchange for the
 hour or so they spend in a young wo-
 mans home. If 'the eats" as they phrase it, is what he is coming for, the sooner you discourage his visits the better.

CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
 WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Cook one-half pound of fresh mushrooms for two minutes in three tablespoons of butter, save a few for garnish, cover the remainder with water or stock, and add one blade of mace, with one tablespoon of mush- room catsup, if at hand. Cook until tender and press through a coarse sieve, or puree strainer. Blend with cream sauce and garnish with the dic- ed mushrooms. Dried mushrooms may be used for the soup, but there should be few fresh ones for gar- nish. Soak three tablespoons of the dried mushrodms in stock or water for an hour, then add stock and strain through a fine sieve. Two egg yolks mixed with cream may be added to the soup to enrich it.

WOMEN WHO WILL NOT WE'D.

.'Alas! the love of women! it is known
 To be a lovely and a fearful thing;
 For all of theirs upon that dle IS
 thrown,
 And if 'tis lost, life has no more 10 To them but mockeries of the past
 alone" 4a
 The majority of men believe that most women look forward to matr1-' mony as the solution of their life hap piness. But, let me tell you, there are quite as many women who would not wed the best man that ever stepped III shoe leather as those who are anxious to find heart mates. The reasons why some women won't wed are many. Not a few of those who are Well-to-do look upon would-be suitors as fortune hunters, heartless creatures who are not on love intent, but are only con cerned in finding out how much Wo@ man is worth. Though a man does fall in love with such a one, she IS not inclined to give his honesty oil purpose the benefit of the doubt. Other women fall in love with ne'er- do-wells, but are wise enough not to marry. They solace themselves with courting over'a long period of years During that time, affection merges into friendship. But they do not real ize that. Thus they cheat the cradle. Yet better no marriage at all than an unwise one. { There's another class of women who will not wed-those who think that every man who crosses their path is Dk .&~ H. 1oo1 ing for a prince or a millionaire, and are of the kind who will not take advice, Sell when you can, for youth and beauty's feeting." |
 Some women are restrained from marrying because of the load which they carry on their shoulders, fearing that husband would not care to re- lieve them from the support of aged parents or helpless younger brothers and sisters. Thus they go unwedded, ;, martyrs to duty. |
 Vast numbers of women refus: good offers of marriage, for reasons that are ludicrous, if they<were not to pit iful Absurd would be a better word for it. One pretty girl to1d~ne in all seriousness that she had refused an exemplary young man because she feared her attractions would fade early, as did her mothers. When her beauty went she would not be able to attract him longer Another girl refused a fine young man for the rea- son that he had two young sisters of whom he was very fond "He would think as much of them as he did of me- she confded. That would make my life miserable T shall never marry unless it be a man who has no living relative. I could be reasonably sure of such a mans undivided heart She is still single. Her ideal man Is not likely to- materialize. These women are happy in their own way, no doubt. Marriage does not lure them.

PANTRY HINTS.

It is a good plan occasionally to- fill a large saucepan with water, lath- CT little soap into it, set it on the stove with the spoons and forks laid carefully in it with layers of grass or shavings or sawdust. Let it boil slowly. This removes all grease, and the silver takse a better polish, says writer in The Queen, London. Silver dishes requires boiling occasionally for the same reason.
 A little dry sail rubbed on removes stains. Water bottles may be cleaned with white paper, torn into small pieces and shaken about in the bot tie.
 Never use hearthstone to clean an enamel sink. True, the effect is magic, but it only means you will have spoilt the sink, which afterwards can never look clean. These things scratch the china enamel, and thus the dirt gets into the channels and holes and remains there.
 Keep old cloths to wipe your knives and forks; then if they are cut it does not matter.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS

News from Suffrage Headquarters, faF# HartfOrd.)
 All the Suffrage leagues and clubs in the state are being urged by the Eexecutiye Board of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association to take action in regard to the report on the New Haven County Jail. The report was made last week by O.. F. Lewis, Secretary of the Prison Association of New York, and Hastings H. Hart, of the Russell Sage Foundation, who had made the investigation under the direction of the Civic Federation of New Haven. The conditions as re- gards both men and women prisoners were startling and revolting, but the Suffragfsts are naturally most concern ed over the conditions surrounding the women who are confined in the jail. One point which aroused espe- ciaE indignation among the members of the Executive Board aatf its meet; ing last Wednesday,, was the fact that girls and women accused of crime of which they may afterwards be, found entirely Innocent, and first offenders who are as/yet far from being crim- inals in the ordinary sense of the word, are confined along with old of
 
 whose physical condition is terrible danger to the clean and innocent and whose conversation is offensive and corrupting. Even girls and women not, accused of crime at all but who are Snerely held as material witnesses in criminal cases-who have had the misfortune to be witnesses of crimes in which they had no .share-are herded with the convicted criminals and subjected to conditions that must destroy their self-respect. <~l1 R1T7sT s The board passed resolutions ad- dressed to all the leagues and to all groups of suffragists In the state, urg- ing them to investigate conditions in regard to the other county jails-. each league and group to undertake the investigation in it's own county. A full study of the report issued by the New Haven Civic Federation is recommended, and the bearing of this report on the need of votes for women both that the women may be, able to suse their political power to put an end to such disgraceful con- ditions as exist in the New Haven jail, and also that women be stirred up

to realize that the jails are their own concern-which will be as soon as women, equally with men are respon- sible for their existence and>condition. All the Suffragists in the state were also urged to do everything in their power to profnote the passage of a bill in the coming session, providing for the building of a reformatory for women. The board also passed a resolution in favor of the appropria- tion of sufficient sum of money to permit of the building of the refor- matory without delay. .

With the possible exception of Japan, the United States at the pres ent time is the greatest fishing nation on earth; yet its people as whole, probably know less about fish and how to cook them than the opulace of many much smaller nations Yet fish is more than a king to-day.

 Dear Doctor: I am much pleased with. the treatment and very grateful to you for the help received, as I am feeling much better generally. The constipation has practically disap- peared and I am troubled very little with my stomach, have a fine appe- tite, but my heart keeps getting .hard most of the time, especially at night. Any active exercise seems to make it worse and I get out of breath easi- ly., I have been sick at my stomach g. few times lately, but when meal time comes I am quite hungry and feel no worse afterward. I have had several attacks of sharp pains all through my abdomen. Lying flat on my back brings relief and after time the pain stops unless l get up quickly, when it is likely to come back I sleep very restlessly on ac- count of my heart. It has a curious wavering feeling and at times I feel as if there was heavy weight on the left side over the heart. At times it beats very slowly and faintly. l can- not see that the hot lamentations have affected it especially. What shall I do?
 Mrs. A. w.
 (Answer) The trouble of your heart I am inclined to think, is \due to distetical errors and there is in all probability no organic heart disease. There are many cases in which people eat three times daily more from force of habit than from actual need be- cause of the fact that the habit has caused a desire for food at these times and the result is that the food, remains in the stomach from one meal to another before it is digested. When a new supply is thrown into the stomach which still contains un- digested food fermentation results and when there is fermentation there is always more or less gas and acid. The gas presses the stomach against the diaphragm, which in turn presses against the heart, irritating it which results in many cratic motions and needless activity. The fact that the application of the hot lamentations to the spine did not affect the heart at all shows that it is strong and healthy and that it's cratic action is caused from irritation instead of dis ease. I would suggest that you cut out one meal a day for a few months -Aatin@ only two. also that yon be
