foresee it until it is upon him. And
then he is almost overwhelmed by the
daring of it.

ris, wise critic, councillor, intense
admirer, and husband of the author.
Mrs. Norris is not only a novelist,
but a woman of many talents and in
terests. annie Hurst, a personal
friend, says of her:

composite American woman than
Mrs. Norris. A wife, a mother, a
novelist, truck gardener, Ford
owner (and proud of it,, she is a
panegyric for woman suffrage.
! Mrs. Norris is an ardent suffragist
and also a firm believer in the econ
omic independence of women. "a job
and an income for every woman in
the world is the first step toward
better days." she says.
/ In summing up her philosophy of

A husband, a son, a home, six nov
elettes, and thirty short stories in the
last seven years-thats a pretty good
record for a woman, isn't it? The
name of the woman who has ac-
complished all this is Kathleen Nor
ris, one of the best-known and pop
ular of American writers, author of
Mother" 1.-The Heart of Rachael"
and "Birthright." Seven years seems
like a short time in which to become
famous, but if you ask Kathleen Nor
ris about it, she will tell you that
seven years may seem like seventy
when they are filed. with the kind of
hard work that brings success. Seated
at her desk in her delightful Long
Island home, Mrs. Norris recently
remarked:

DONTs IN COOKING.

In boiling potatoes, serve them in
their uniforms and get the benefit of
their mineral ash.
Don't fail to pour off the water
as soon as the potatoes are down.
Don't cover the potatoes, when
done, with a tight lid, but place a
clean cloth over them and allow
steam to pass off.
Don't fail to try the steaming
method with new potatoes.
Don't fail to soak old, wilted po-
tatoes in cold water before cooking.
For baking potatoes select med
ium sized ones.
Don't forget to scrub them with
vegetable brush, if possible.
Don't put them in the oven drip
ping with cold water. Allow As
minutes to an hour for a six-ounce
potato.
Don't have the oven too hot or
the potatoes will crust over, the
steam cannot escape and a soggy po-
tato will result.
Potatoes for baking may be prick
ed with a fork, the end cut slightly,
or the potatoes creased to make
them soft.

SAVE SUGAR.

The allies need sugar. The battle
lines and enemy territory now include
much of their sugar land, so that
more and more they are turning to
US and our sources of supply. We
must give them what they need.
To help them we must cut down
our own consumption, otherwise there
will not be enough sugar for us all
We, in the past, have used more than
any other people. The French in
November, 1917, were allowed only
one-fourth pound per week. We have
eaten at least one pound-four times
as much.
To divide the worlds sugar more
evenly is a world problem that all
of US can help solve. Let US do our
part We are asked merely to cut
down our sugar from one pound to
three-quarters of a pound. By saw
ing we can help win the war.

The bridegroom pays for the ring,
for flowers for the bride, her maids
and her mother. souvenirs for the

she may accept by saying she will be

she pleases to go with someone else
it is only necessary to say she has
