ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
All Wrong.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A certain husband has been very
good to his wife, but four months
ago he started to go about with an
other married man, and they were
with two other women. One of them
is married. / don't know IL the
other is. This has caused his wife
lot OF worry, but he says he can do
as he pleases. She loves him dearly,
and does not want to hurt his feel
ings, but he hurts her feelings a
good bit. He has even stayed out
all night They have children.
NJ II.
No man has any ~rfght"-moral
or legal-to treat his wife as this
man is doing. He is being undigni-
fled, to say the least. and is lay
ing himself open to ugly gossip and
suspicion Perhaps, IL instead of
protesting, his wife made every eff
fort to keep his home charming
and attractive and to amuse, him
there he would stay in IL. She might
even suggest going out with him.
He seems to be the brutal sort who,
when bent on his own selfish de-
sires, thinks OF no one else. OF
course, a man like that ought to be
forced to behave himself, but a little
gentle persuasion may solve the
situation for his wife and children

The Fascinating Wrap

the collar and were tied into a pic
turesQue bow with long stream
ers."
Instead OF mere arm-slits, there
were short, wide sleeves set in at
elbow length of the cape, and were
finished with deep cuffs. The bot
tom was faced with the peach-coI-
ored satin and turned up into q
cuff on the right side. lending q
very striking though simple effect.
Corn-colored taffeta, combined
with black velvet. was designed
into quite a remarkable little even
ing wrap, considering the low price.
This cape was shirred onto a rather
deep yoke with a head" OF about
two inches. The yoke was finished
with a big, soft collar, cut from a
straight piece OF black velvet. Its
charm lay in the alluring way It
wrinkled about the throat, showing
the whiteness OF the skin to ad-
vantage
The bottom OF the cape was
gracefully weighted by a deep band
OF the black velvet also. Long Sits
were cut for the arms to pass
through. The only fastenings on
the front OF the wrap were at the
collar and bottom OF the deep yoke.
Who could desire a more tempting
wrap than this lovely one OF corn
colorI
II you want a dainty cape to slip
over your dance frock this summer
choose any OF these models. They
are so simple to make, for their
beauty is chiefly in the material and
color combinations.

me. There was the Faithful Giant to

The creal<ing of the chains, how
ever, woke up the Wicked King,
who looked out Of his window to see
what was the matter. In another
moment he rushed through the
gates at the head of his men,
"Quick!". shouted the Gnome to
the Giant, "Get in.' But. alas! the
doorway was too small. In vain the
Giant wriggled and squirmed; In
vain Puss and the young Prince
pulled upon his arms. his great
shoulders could not be forced
through the doorway. At last. with
a tremendous shove, he managed 10
get halfway in, but no further. Tor
at this point his head was against
the opposite side OF the Bubble.
On came the Wicked King and
his attendants, who at once fitted
arrows to their strong bows to
shoot the poor Giant

In an instant the Bubble began
, to grow larger and larger, and be-
fore an arrow left q bow the
doorway widened enough to let
the giant crawl inside. Slamming
the door shut, the Gnome cried out
exultingly, I'VE are safe"
Away sailed the Magic Soap
Bubble. with the Fairy Queen and
her little robin perched safely On
the top, and her three ladies in
waiting standing close by on their
own little feathered steeds.
Back to the beautiful Waterfall
Lake, where the Fairy Queen bid
Puss good-by; back to the friend
ly Gnome's cave in the woods,
where he said farewell to Puss;
back to Big Mans Land, where the
Giant lived with his kind old
mother; back to the castle where
the beautiful Princess and her
brother lived so happily before the
the King had kidnapped them, and
back at last to the castle OF Lord
Carabas, where IT left Puss in the
easy chair by the window from
which he had started out to visit
Gnomeland with the King OF the
Gnomes.

IN HE large black. red or white
sweet cherries are usually
canned unpitted, but sour
cherries should be pitted.
The unpitted cherries look better,
and some people think them better
favored.
1t is a convenience, however, to
have the stones removed, especially
when used for pies, etc.
The cherries should be picked
over. washed, and well drained, be-
fore pitting. An inexpensive house
hold cherry stoner may be readily
obtained. As this saves time and
labor, everyone who expects to can
n quantity Of cherries, should have
one.
Pack In Jars to within one-haIf

syrup medium grade for sour cher
ries and thin grade for sweet cher
ries).
Thin syrup is made from one part
sugar to four parts water, and me-
dium from one part sugar to two
parts OF water. Put on rubber and

Sterilize sixteen minutes in hot

Both sweet and sour cherries are
used for the table. but sour cher
ries are best for pies and pudding.

. HE midsummer military fes-
tivities have brought about
need for dainty informal
clothes and wraps, especially
shown in some deliciously new mod
els. II you go dancing with your
best naval officer at the "Ofhcers
Club" or fox trot at the ARMY
Lawn Fete," you will need a light
wrap to slip on over your white
o,gandie dance frock.
II you Ego in" for conservation
you will make your wrap yourself
thus saving the dressmaker's bill.
A lovely wrap that will leave a
pleasant memory TO your officer
when he is far of in France, can be
made for a very modest sum.
Pale pink and white checked taft
feta made one of the daintiest even
ing wraps for a young bride, who
was going to camp" with her new
husband. The wrap was n cape
effect, made on a short round yoke.
There was a deep collar that could
be turned up around the throat on
cool evenings.
From this yoke, the cape fell well
below the knees, sloping a little
shorter in front. A novel trimming
was made for the edge OF the wrap
and collar. Strips of the taffeta
about an inch wide were picot on
the edge and shirred closely through
the center, forming pretty ruffiing.
A girl who favors rare simplic-
ity" recently showed me a quaint
evening wrap made in a Quaker
style.
Pale blue tAffeta was chosen for
this wrap, with peach color ribbon
tie-strings. Cut three-quarter
length and circular, the wrap was
slightly fitted into a deep Quaker
collar. Two long tie-strings OF
peach satin ribbon were fastened at

Chairman Greenwood reported as to
the meeting with superintendent II. II.
Miller OF the Fort Hall Indian reser-
walton. 70 the effect that the Indian
department had requested that all new
roads or highways be constructed. as
far as practicable. on section lines or

between Bannock creek and Michaud
as nov constructed on the old rail-
road right OF way grade. does not fol-

to it. as also have several Of the neu-
trail countries Of Europe. and when
necessity drives IL is the converse Of
undemocratic; II is the only truly
democratic way, the only means Of in
surfing a fair distribution of food and
giving poor persons and people OF
moderate means an approximately
equal right with the people OF wealth.
There are. however, other and valid
grounds against the adoption Of the
ration system In this country now. 1t
entails an enormous administrative
task. An army of subordinate Off
clals would be needed 10 enforce II,
and they would have TO be diverted
from other war or industrial work.
There Is the further objection OF
wastage OF the peoples time that
would have 10 be taken In the secur-
ing OF cards and waiting In line for
the distribution OF food. This has been
found exceedingly burdensome and
annoying In Europe. where II Is ac-
only on the conviction that II
must be done. The adoption Of a ra-
ton system here. before necessity is
keen, would meet with stout and gem
eral opposition that should not be
neediessly aroused.
For the present al least. as Mr..
Hoover says. the appeal TO the people
for voluntary food conservation should
go on.-Spokesman-Review
