HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
For the vaIen6ss's Spread.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Whether or not you are giving ST.
valentines party, you will want to con-
trive some bits Of culinary skill In honor
Of the day. II we have turkey and cram
Derry sauce for Thanksgiving and plum
pudding for Christmas we should also
nave one or two dishes on February IA In
honor of the patron saint who presides
over lovers young and old.
A heart-shaped cutter that can be
bought at almost any kitchen furnishing
store for about 10 cents is well worth
while to have With this you can make
lovely tarts-such as the queen of hearts
must have, made in "Alice in Wonder
land" For them you will need to make
some good short pie paste and when 1t Is
rolled out you should cut 1t into heart
shapes. For each single heart shape also
cut another heart shape In the middle
OF which you should cut circle with the
top OF a pepper box. Moisten the solid
pieces slightly around the edge, LAY in a
baking tin and on top Of each place one
OF the other pieces. Bake to light golden
brown, and COOL Thep fill with raspberry
Jam. II you want to make them especially
attractive after putting In the jam add
a generous dab Of meringue. Put them
back in the oven and brown slightly.
With the same cutter you can make
doughnuts that puff into beautiful round
hearts. Sandwiches are nice when cut
In heart shapes. You should cut the bread
thin and then cut pieces out with the cut
ter. Put filing OF cream cheese and
nuts, or some favorite sandwich filling
between the two pieces and put together
ueatly.
Small party cakes are especially appro-
pirate to st. Valentines day when baked
In heart shape tins, but II you have none
of these on hand you can get very good
effect by making the cakes In the usual
tins and after you have frosted them,
decorating them with heart-shape pieces
of angelica or candied fruits.
II you are ingenious you can make q
rather large heart from stiff pasteboard
say one about three or four inches
across. With a sharp knife you can cut
pieces of fairly thick bread from this pat
tern. using the leftover pieces for bread
crumbs of scalloped dishes later on. These
pieces should be toasted and used as the
foundation for creamed chicken or some
other creamed dish, instead Of the usual
patty shells.
From time out of mind pink and red
have been associated with St Valentine s
day. SO to carry out your scheme you
should have all table decorations of one
of those colors.

Friday, February o, 1917.

According to astrology the planetary
sway for this day is weak, but the in
fuences are not favorable. Saturn, Jupi-
ter. Venus and Neptune are all slightly
adverse.
This is not a favorable rule for the
aged and the mortality among them is
likely to increase during the next few
weeks.
All the seers warn against uncleanli-
ness in any form as they foresee cpl
denies, which will affect cattle as well
as human beings.
The sinister sign read as encouraging
extreme care in removing waste and filth
from cities presages agitation that af-
fects many 'so-called civilized customs.
The stars frown on speculation today
and give little hope for any who chal-
lenge fortune in reckless ways.
II Is not a lucky rule for love affairs,
weddings and public entertainments.
Actors should be cautions about the
signing of contracts under this sway OF
the stars.
Motion pictures have the prognostica-
ton Of success in new ventures.
Canada continues under a rule making
for great prosperity. Migration from
East to West is strongly indicated.
Popularity for a foreign envoy who will

Switzerland has an outlook that indi-
Gates anxiety over new complications due
to the war, agitation among all classes
and efforts to encourage peace.
Italy has a representation both good
and bad, for while there is hope of con-
tinued Improvement in its defense on
land and sea, spies and treachery are in
dicated. The Pope will suffer to a GER
tain extent.
Russia has a sign read as trouble over

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women VIII
Have shared 1t.
by MARY MARSHALL.

Hello, you Custer boyv these were
the first words that were passed be-
tween George Custer. the noted Indian
fighter and civil war soldier, and lit
tie Libby Bacon. who later became his
wife. Libby was a wee lass at the
time and Custer was barely in his
teens She was a dark-eyed little
Southern girl~and there was a chal-
lenge in her words that Custer never
forgot In fact, he later said that at
the time he first saw Elizabeth Bacon
he made q boyish vow that she would
some day be his wife.
1t was many years before they met
again, and in the meantime George
Custer. though he never forgot the
image of the pretty dark-eyed girl in
the South, had won Tor himself the
reputation of being quite q desperate
flirt. He was graduated from West
Point when he was % Nand. starting
out the very next year, with the out
break of the civil war, in the practice
of actual warfare, he Inquired as quite
hero. His youth and good looks.
coupled with his bravery and his
dashing manners naturally attracted
much attention.
When Betty was II and Custer was q
they met again. And Custer renewed his
VOW to make the arch little beauty his
posed to yield to him. and her father.
Judge Bacon, was quite opposed to look
ing at the young soldier as a possible
son-in-lsw. For one thing, Clusters repu-
Itation as a firt has gone before him, and
Betty had been brought up in the most
Puritanical of households.
Naturally 1t was not long before Betty
yielded and promised to consider Clusters
suit. Judge Bacon absolutely forbade an
4 ant hny IND fhn unl-
dier. at that time much taken up with
his part In the Richmond campaign. hal
to exercise the greatest tact and patience.
He might have induced Betty to elope
with him. for her heart was his, but he
loved her too we'll. He preferred to bide
his time and eventually win the judges
consent
Apparently his methods were effective
for 1t was not long before there was an
open engagement and at the time OF the
wedding there seems not to have been
any parental objection to speak OF. The
wedding was a very spectacular event,
as the boy general with the golden
locks" as he was called in the news
papers, led the dark, vivacious beauty
TO the altar. She was a timid, childlike
bride, people said who saw the wedding,
and he was all that any soldier husband
ought to be, tall, straight fearless and
eXultant.
After the marriage It was Libby's turn
to show patience. for her husband was
in the thick of the fight and II was only
by risking the perils of the front that
she was able to be with him. She was
somewhat criticised for this unusual pro-
cedure, but her husband urged her to
be with him and she more than willingly
followed him through his campaigns
when that was possible. On one event
she made the whole trip from Richmond
to Washington on horseback with her
husbands troops.

Puss and the Hen Tell a Story. =
BY DAVID CORY,


Puss Junior looked into the glowing
fire for a few minutes before he COM
menced to tell of his adventure with the
Giant of the BeanstalK. 'I think that
the little Hen might tell something toe"
he said, as she few up and sat down
on the lap of the little old man "She
really knows more about the Giant than
/ do. In fact said Puss, apologeticalS,
''I left SO suddenly that know nothing
about what happened later"
"Al right" said the little old man,
stroking the bright yellow feathers of
the little hen. "she will do her part, I'm
sure. You just commence the story, Sir
Cat, and let the rest take care of it.
self" Then Puss settled himself COM
fortably back into his big arm chair and
commenced:
"One fine morning came to a modest
little cottage, in the garden of which
was growing an immense beafDtalk,
reaching up and up until its top was
hidden in the clouds. As I stopped to
look at this wonderful thing, a sad-faced
woman came to the door and asked me
If had seen anything Of her son Jack.

me, would climb up after him 1t took
me but short time to reach the top, for

boots and held them with my teeth so
as to climb the faster.
when I reached the top and looked
about me. saw this little hen. She
crawled out of a small thicket close by

asked Puss Junior with a laugh.
Look out for the Giant. I'll waget >
cried little Tom Thumb, who had grown
very excited over Puss Juniors story.
No, didn't" said the little hen.
Tells US what you did say, my dear"
said the little old man.
Il made up a little rhyme,
ITO lay every day
Is all work and no play" said the little
hen.
Then asked her where Jack was"
said Puss, -and she told me to follow
her and she would lead me to the castle
She went first into the room where the
Giant was, and the first thing he said
was Lay, layp"
And 1 was so tired" said the little
hen, that asked him TO let me OF just
once. But he wouldn't. And then Puss
Junior ran in and shook his stan at him
and told him to let me alone, and the
Giant laughed and said he would If Puss
would tell him a story. which Puss
agreed to do"
