That evening was long and peace

1t was all pleasant talk. There was
a notice, which had come by mail. that
he had not paid his taxes yet, and
that per cent had been levied against

SEND FRANCE COOKS
Teach People to Make cornbread
and Cornpone.
Woman Makes sus-
oestion-Yankee Soldiers Looked
Upon - Heroes by Boys.

New YOrk.-A commission of Ameri-
can cooks to be sent to France to teach
the French how to make cornbread
and cornpone and all the other edible
things into which cornmeal can be con-
verted is suggested by Mrs. Benjamin
Cram of Baltimore and New York.
Mrs. Cram, French woman, married
to an American, has just returned from
France where she spent six months
visiting the battle front and studying
economic conditions.
"There is actual suffering in the
provinces" she said, because of lack
Of flour. Why don't American women
teach the French how to use cornmeal1 7
Just five cooks sent from here could
accomplish wonders.
'"rhe French" continued Mrs. Cram,
"are learning many things about the
people of my adopted land. They have
found that the American whom they
once despised as wholly commercial
has ideals like their own. The coming
of Pershing and his men Is the cause
of this change Of opinion. They are
beginning to understand each other
France and America-and the deep
affection growing between them will
continue after the war.
"You should see the little French
boy when he meets an American SOL
der. For a moment he is silent from
awe, and then he shouts half rever-
emily, half joyfully. The American! !!
Such hero worship you never saw
And you should see one Of those Amer
lean youngsters In khaki as he walks
up the street amid the awed greetings
of his little admirers. He draws HIM
self up and throws out his chest and
looks as proud as king"

At noon he came home, saying that
he would take half a day OF. Gracious,
but how he could upset that house in
half day. Mrs. Bowser trembled
as he entered the hall, but 1t was a
false alarm. There had been no change
in Mr.. Bowser. He sat around for
a while. and then started for a walk,
all by his lonely. He came back with
a bouquet. which he had gathered on
some vacant lots, and sat down to a
book which he did not lay down until
notified that his dinner was ready. He
was not Mr.. BOwser, but some other
Bowser. He was an intruder. He had
commenced things all over, and Mrs.
Bowser could not say that she was
any better satisfied with the new state
Of things than with the old. The old
Bowser had frequent explosions; the
new Bowscr was too peaceful and
placid and bland. Would the Bowser
return in day or twof She found
herself hoping so. and SO did the cat

some remarks Of a complimentary ma
ture. He even went SO far as to invite
Mrs. Bowser to 60 with him to the
movies, but she was obliged to decline
on account of her being too tired.
Thursday morning Mr.. Bowser did
not bound out of bed with the quick
ness of bullet or the agility of an
antelope. He clung to that bed as II
1t was his only hope on earth. Mrs.
Bowser called him five times and final
ly came upstairs and told him in
petulant way that he would be at least
an hour late at the office. He threw
no shoes at her. He did not reply that
he would sleep for week and the
old Office might be burned for all Of
him. AS soon as she disappeared he
began rubbing his eyes. 1t appalled,
him to think of dressing, but he encour-
aged himself, and, in about half an
hour he appeared at the breakfast
table.
On the car going over town. several
were astonished. Mr.. Bow
