SHOULD HUSBANDS PRY INTO
 HOUSEHOLD SECRETS?

"The heyday of our youth, it's roseate glow,
 It's high desires and cravings man. fold,
 The rapture and delights of long ago Have passed; but we have truer joys to hold
 Through the long years we're wed.''
 Many a good man is spoiled in a wife's handling of him. No matter how close or miserly his disposition may be, he can be persuaded or ca joled by the tactful wife into doing the right thing by the family It is the path he has started in at the very outset of married life that he will travel in. If his wife begins the first day of housekeeping by asking her hege lord for a small amount of change, explaining that she wants three cents for a candle, ten cents for a pound of sugar, two cents for cake of yeast, etc., he is pretty likely to hand her out just the amount she asks for to a penny. Thereafter, it is quite natural for him to expect to know what every cent is used for.
 It does not take the average bride long to find this out. It soon becomes her one rock of unhappiness. The wife who starts married life by re- ceiving from her husband a stipulated sum which they agree is to run the home has a peaceful fife of it. Nine out of ten women welded to good and worthy husbands. whose incomes are small are thrifty and saving squeezing a penny far tighter than a stinsv man could. Trust such a wife to put by a little from even the slen- derest allownce mo. le her. It is most un1visc for hu>,,f1 to pry into her Household economics.

One-Piece Frock for the Junior Set

Dear to the heart of vontb frI wearers are the comfortable one-n;ecs frocks. This design is suitahie to development in serge, cloth, albatross, Voie or nunsvelllng. The neck may be finished in V effect or buttoned high with turn-down collar. The long one-piece sleeves are gathered to neat cuffs. Smart lines are given i'd the front and back of the skirt be. cause of their panel effect, cut in one with the yoke. A straight belt of self-material confines the waist. Tn medium size the design requires 2A yards 54sinch material
 Although there are several sections to the pattern, the dress is not diff ficult to cut. Care is required to place the sections on the material pro- perly, but the cutting guide helms greatly in the task. Fold the mate rial in half, then place into position first the pieces marked by triple "TTT' perforatinns, these being tba collar, band (and back yoke) and belt.
 The side front has the straight edes placed narallel with the selvage of the goods and to the front of it the front (and front yoke) section is laid. Below the section marker "L', the sleeve and pocket -ections are placed, the side back and sleevebands com irg last 1. The possibilities of this design arc numerous. In white it is exceedingly smart for linen or flannel. The at- tached hanging pockets at the sides may be omitted, if desired.

GIRL JILTS ARE FALSE.

P. O. l.. writes: "Is a girl Justified in having an understanding when she says to her steady company, who is rather in tender mood, T cannot understand your real drift. Do you intend to find out if I willy be- your wife?' She has kept a warm fire goa ing in our otherwise chilly parlor three times week for three winters Summers we keep others away from the porch. Still he does not pop the question: He has had five sweet hearts. They say he tilted them"
 Of course, a girl wants anu nder- standing-a marriage proposal-be- fore she has courted one-third of the time. It. is useless to waste further time if he is a laggard. No doubt you can find true lover, whom you will wed, if you tarry no longer with him.

Great white pillars were to the front of it, like at the mansion of the gouverneur, and many wide windows and doors opened out from it.

L. P. A. S. O. writes: "Please ad- wise. Three months ago, I met a girl who resides in a distant town. I enjoyed her company a few times as she was West with her mother. Af- ter she left, we corresponded. Her parents had no objection. Regard it as love at first sight with me. She seems to Nsciprocate liking. Should I in honor, a poor youth, try to win her? She is wealthy. Think I am old enough to know my own heart as to promotion and love. Thanks in advance"

 Gee, hope Kizzie killed by the half dozen last night. If there aren't three chickens apiece you'll be hungry, L'Ai- glon," said MT. Buzz Clendenning, with. laugh, as he seated himself beside me and unfolded his napkin.
 'T wish that you might call me Rob- ert, MT. Clendenning," said, with great friendliness, as we finished the nice lunch.
 "Sure, Robbie, and you'll forget that wouldn't let you kiss me, won't you" he answered as he drew back from the table and lit cigarette after passing me the case. Everybody calls me Buzz the Rumble Bee, because of his toric encounter of mine with a whole the generals garden. It is title of heroism, and I'd like to have you use it as if we'd been kids together, as we were slated to have been. Say, let's go call on Sue, and you can get a nice nt- tie initiation into the girl bunch before the general stops you by locking you away from them"

 Then we descended to the gray car of much speed and did use that speed in turning many streets until we came to another very fine old house, where, I was informed by my MT. Buzz Clen- denning, resides that Mile. Susan of so much loveliness.

My heart of an exile beat very high in my own girls breast that ached for the refuge of her wOman'S arms, and must have partly betrayed my yearning to her, for I saw an ex- pression of confused question come into her eyes that looked into mine; then the beautiful thing that had come into my MT.

Relief and ration parties venture

Every approach to the German

question arises what effect all this is

among the prisoners that the morale

Berkeley, Calf, oct, 2.--The found
ing of an institute for medical re-
search by the University of California,
was made possible recently when DR..
II. Brailsford Robertson, professor of
biochemistry of the institution, the
discoverer of tethelin, decided over to
the university all his patent rights and
prospective profits of his new dis
covery, with the proviso that the pro-
ceeds be used to found such an insti-
tute. Tethelin the substance which
causes tissue to grow in wounds that
nothing else will heal and which is
extracted from the pituitary gland at
the base of the brain, was discovered
by DR.. Robertson a year before the
United States entered the present war.
II was not only acclaimed a Won
derful discovery by the medical world
but was Immediately pressed into serv-
ice in the base hospital in France and
has been used with singular success
in alleviating many frightful wounds
which, without its Use, would have
been impossible of cure.
The deed to the university Incl
dentally places the discovery beyond
the pale of possible exploitation and
conserves it to the use of mankind at
large at a nominal expense.
The only reservation in the grant
for the benefit of DR.. Robertson Is
that If he should at any time become
disabled for work his present salary
at the university shall continue. And
