table, where sat the person who was
to be treated according to the injunc-
ton of her father. Alice suppressed a
giggle; Billy was srinning. II Hedge
was laughing. she would die.
But Hedge was not laughing. He did
not appear to be conscious of the dire
confusion Of Constance. Instead, he
was regarding the butler with cold
glare.
Come here!" he commanded, raising
an imperative finger.
The butler approached.
Your names Horace, isn't it9"
"Why--yes, sir
Then listen, Horace. I've been
watching you. Do you realize that you
waste from thirty-five to forty per cent
Of energy every time you walk from
that door to the table?"
The voice of Hedge was rasping.
Horace's lower jaw sagged slowly.
In the first place." continued Hedge,
emphasizing his remarks with incisive
gestures, you take longer route than
is necessary. Take a direct route--so
and you save three steps. Lengthen
your stride and you save two addition
al steps. Let me sec you step out.
There! You see It can be DONE There
are two equally short routes by which
the table may be approached. Alter
nate them. 1t saves time. And turn
down those lights along the wall
They're unnecessary and II will save
electricity. After this evening. put only
one log on the fire, 1t saves wood.
That will do"
II the butler was frozen into an
image of blank amazement, the same
was equally true of the Brookes. They
sat rigid in their chairs, staring at H.
Hedge. Vanished was the agonizing
confusion of Constance; vanished the
diabolical glee of her brother and sis
ter. No emotion touched them save
that of superlative establishment.
1t remained for Billy to recover
speech.
"What-what the blazes do you call
that?" he demanded.

4Riere is something very fascinating about cooking in a chaf1ng dish. The fact of preparing the food before your guests seems to make the food taste extra fine.
 Shredded codfish rabbit is a deli cious dish which can be cooked easily and quickly in a chafing dish.
 Stir half pound of cheese, a tea spoonful of prepared mustard and a hajf Of teaspoonful of paprika in a chafng dish until the cheese is melt ed, Cover from half to a full cup o1 shredded codfish with cold water and wiring dry in a cloth. add the fish to the cheese, also the beaten yolks o1 two eggs, mixed with half cup oi tomato puree, cream or milk and stir until the mixture is smooth and thick Serve on the untoasted side of bread toaHted on but one side.

MRS. MACDONALD
 WILL GIVE LOTS , FOR GARDENING.

Because they find they will not be able to get Beechmont park ready for
 use this summer, the park eomfnis-
 sioners have divided off some 2S lots
 east of Park avenue and allowed the
 use of the land for garden purposes,
 by citizens. Some of the plots are
 25x100 feet and some 3ox100 feet.
 The lots that were available for this
 purpose are now practically all taken
 up.
 Mrs. Mary, Mcdonald of 212ss Pearl street visited city clerks office yester- day. She owns a number of lots in the. East End and in the vicinity of Noble avenue which she will give gratis for garden purposes. No restrictions will be placed on those ho desire to use them for raising of any sort of crops

AUNT JANE HAS GOOD ADVICE TO
 GIVE ALL FOLKS

"Shouldering a gun, or making bandages, ain't the only ways of be- ing patriotic" observed Aunt Jane, some folks ain't fitted for either of those occupations. But they can be patriotic just the same. True pa- triotism consist in aiding your coun- try, and every housewife can be of inestimable use just now in learning something about economy in the food line.
 Its great thing to have a big army in the field and brave navy on the seal but it won't do to have a famine over the land at the same time. It's up to us home-staying folks to look to our food supply, and look right sharp.
 "One of the most useful ways of being patriotic just now is to give up extravagant foods and get back to the simple life. We might as well meats and high priced vegetables now as later. It's a great chance for us to learn something about seafoods which nature grows for us free of charge on grounds which don't need to be cultivated, p1oughed or seeded
 'eThe more fish we eat and the less of other things, t1fe more we aid ou1 country just now. First of all, we will be learning the sadly needed les son of economy, and again we will be taking nothing from the soil of ou1 other resources. We need not worry how much onions are selling at; e1 how much larger the hole in the doughnut has grown; or that frank furters have become as expensive as a pedigreed Daehshund.
 Flat fish, say I, and lots of it. The good Lord made the finny tries fol just such a time as this.
 Did you ever notice the. way the average woman buys?" asked Aunt Jane, 'it shows a woefu1 lack of eco. homie instinct. If she's buying meal or vegetables, she always asks the price of such meat a pound, or o1 such a vegetable a quart, or peck But when it comes to fish, she jus says, offhaHd-1ike, "Give me a had. deck," or three pounds of cedl
 Now, strange as it may seem te anyone who hasn't given it a thought different kinds of fish are sold al different prices. Sometimes one va. riety costs considerably less thar other varieties. The patriotic house wife will watch the fish market a. closely as she follows the meat ol vegetable market, and buy according. ly.
 1"Anether thing, many women don'1 seem to realize is that small fish are just as good, and sometimes a bii

TENTING ON THE BORDER.

We're tenting tonight on the old
 camp ground; .
 Give us a song to cheer;
 Our weary hearts a song of home
 And the friends we love so dear.'''
 From the time our boys went down to Mexico to take their first draught from the fiagon of life on the border, young women have been writing me from all over the country asking what a soldiers life was like; if they were ia happy lot, like school-boys out for a holiday, or if their lonely hours outweighed the exciting ones.
 I wouldn't have been able to answer these queries, had not received the information at first hand. Letters from the soldiers themselves came to me. It would take wide stretch of imagination to suppose the lives of this nations defenders were ones of sunshine and roses, or their days were filled with idle play. Nothing could be further from the truth From day light until dusk, a soldiers life is a routine of hard work. It is not until the shadows of night gather, that he has an hour he can call his own to rest in. Each tent covers several sol diers. They are bundled together but not by mutual choice. They are men of many kinds; therefore of many minds. The quick -tenperad man sleeps side by side with the mate who has always had his own way. They learn the first lesson Of life, to bear and forbear. AlsSmust yield their own likes and dislikes and be in unison with one another. It is the life of dis |cipline
 In action, these tent-mates Stick to ,oI, o+I. greater the peril they encounter to- heart to heart. In their leisure hours they love to talk of the folks back home-their sisters and friends. There's scarcely a man among them who talks much of the sweetheart left behind. That's the one subject which all soldiers hold too sacred for care less speech. Life in the open makes them rugged and healthy There's not one of them who does not long for stirring action. That's what they ex- pected in joining the army. Dull in- action pals upon them.
 The soldier who receives letters and remembrances from home, is the envy of his tent-mates, who have no one to think of them and try to cheer them These are the men who long for a sweetheart, some. human being who holds them dear
 Today I received photograph ot eight stalwart, handsome soldiers on the \border, taken in group. thought. as studied each splendid face, of the mothers, sisters and sweethearts who loved them and were praying for their safety Proud may the sweethearts be, who have wor their hearts. I was pleased that they thought enough of me to send me this token of their esteem Every mar cannot be a soldier It takes the strong and the brave to attain that Each soldier needs the encouragemen,

better than the big ones And, as there are more of 'em caught, they are apt to be cheaper in price. Steak or large cod, for example, always cost more Q pound than market cod. One of the handiest of fishes is the scrod, which is nothing more or less than a cod or haddock just big enough for 8 family of two or three.
 ''The careful buyer will see that the eyes of the fish are bright, and the gills red. These are signs of fresh ness. Also she will not attempt to buy migratory fishes out of season
 eff she is experienced, she will not turn up her nose at fish from the freezer. either, for such fish, frozen into an air-tight envelope of ice soon after being caught, is just as health full and palatab1e as the freshly caught .article.'
 "One of the chief advantages of fish," said Aunt Jane, "is that prac- ,tically any kind of vegetable goes with any kind of fish. Rice, strong ly urged as a, substitute for the ex- pensive potato, for example, goes nicely with any variety of, fish. whether it be a shad, a mackerel. a cod, or a lowly but delicious herring. Carrots, turnips, and even cabbage can be served with fish,
 Another point about fish is that although it can be served with elab- crate and expensive sauces there is no variety which cannot be served plain, and consequently most econ omically. A slice of lemon makes a fine garnish for any kind of broiled fish. Boiled and fried fish, especial ly if bacon drippings are used for fry ing, are sufficient unto themselves.
 While a pound of broiIed or fried fish, surrounded by some freshly cooked rice makes a respectable look ing meal, pound of beefsteak with the same trimming does not And think of the difference in the cost."

The matter of procuring this money and distri- outing 1t is being handled by Angus Tkc-E, suSerintendent of the pocr. Four non-commissioned officers of the Fourth company. who objected to the manner in which the money is distributed have put in applications for discharge from the service and their applications are still pending.
 About 16 recruits have been re- oeived for the Second and Fourth companies and more are needed. The Fourth company needs about i4 men ] and the Second company 26. More recruits are needed for the Eleventh company. Lieut.. Camille Mazeau. is at the armory every day to receive recruits.

This is one of the new barrel skirts which Paris is endorsing so enthusiastically, though the model is not in any way extreme The skirt has @ high waistline. and the front and back gorss are cut in panel style The side gores are in two sections, gathered at the top. The adjustment is effected at the left side under & platt. In medium size the design requires 3H yards 40-inch material and is splendidly adapted to develop ment in sports silk.
 There are not many sections to the design to make it difficult either te out or make. Strict adherence to the directions of the cutting guide will make mistakes impossible. The side gore sections are cut from an open width Of material, the large 70" per foratt0ns resting on a lengthwiso thread of material.
 The remaining material is now folded not in ha1f, but in quarters, and the front gore placed on the cen ter, as shown in the guide, and the back gore ts laid along the upper 1engthwise foid.
 The fashionable materials for the development of this skirt, in addition to-sports silk, are sabardine. Poiret twill, mems wear serge, foulard, pon- gee and Hnan. If designed for hard service, tweed would perhaps be tha most seryiceable of all.
