1t is time for every woman to take
strict inventory of her own possibili
ties. If family conditions permit. let
her go out and take a job 1t should
really be a case of work or fight"
with women. too. If they are not en-
gagged in the important business OF
rearing families that actually occupies
all their time and energy. let them
seek work that will occupy their en-
ergies. If they go in for Red Cross
activity, let them forget how the cap
looks, forget to watch the clock. and
go home really tired, after n day of
it. Running in for fifteen minutes
and upSetting every ones work with
gossip is surely more or less trifling.
Let them be faithful and regular in
their days, and take off their hats
and stay a while" when they come.
If women want to really replace
men for the front-and the time has
come when women in every walk OF
life must seriously consider helping to
fill the gap in industry made by the
boatloads of men that are being
poured on to European shores - let
them take the job for which they are
best suited. forget the spectacular. and
cease to be triflers.

QuT In the morning everything seemed
- difeSent. Already Scott had been
slipped into the back CT Ruth's active
mind: She thought of him once while
she was dressing. but after that he
somehow did not matter Even the lit
tie thought she had of him was vagrant.
1t had to do with their friendship, and
she remembered with a little twinge
mat she had not been very kind to him,
that was all. Even the resolution to
write him had lost its Importance. Last
night. after he had gone, she remem-
pered only the dramatic fact that he
mad told her he cared. She had reveled
IN the sentimentality Of It all--the thrill
OF having two men love her and want
ner, the power and security that she
ielt IN the marvellous good fortune Fate
mad thrown to Jack. She even reasoned
that perhaps life intended her to be
nappy. Surely it seemed so. for IL not,
why hadn't Jack been taken? She had
surely forced herself to be ready for
sacrifice IL necessary.
In the days that followed II was so
easy to drift. Ruth was so happy, so
contented. so safe. Jack was SO dear
and life was filled with such delicious
things to do. There had been the ring
10 select. Ruth had lived on the MEM
ory OF the time Jack had-taken her to
seiect 1t for nearly a week.
But ! really oughtn't to have a ring.
JACK. until I have announced the en-.
sagement properly" she had demurred,
thrilled at the idea of having it to wear

ure possible out of it.

laughing.

VI course ! want you to have t.

soon as possible, and I want to nut the
other one there soon."
Ruth flushed and trembIed a ,ittIe

oerful. Why, Jack, didn't know
whether ] could have all the fixings or
hot week or so back"
Then you did think of II before I
spoke to you," Jack said, triumphantIy.
And Ruth hid her flushed face deer
on his shoulder, refusing to admit the
1act and delhiously eager for him to
suspect the truth.
And SO. for the time, marriage was
slipped into the envelope of the future
ready to be taken out some time per-
haps for reference and deep thought
and Jack took Ruth downtown to select
the ring. Jack was dependable and
thorough; his nature was thrifty; his
dreams of happiness were not above the
average. To Jack Bond. Scott Raymond
would have seemed like an utter spend
thrift, with his unfulfilled longings, his
strivings after something big and ele-
mental. his capacity for living. The
two men had always been close friends
but 1t was not SO much because of the
common ground between them as 1t was
because Of certain surface likes and
dislikes that bridged across their ma
lures and made a friendship of a sort
There had never been condolences. pc

TELL
ME WHAT j

Plain Men Make Best Husbands

Dear Cynthia Il have noticed in YOUR
column letter from a young man who
asked what pretty girls think OF marrying
men who have not much good looks | hope
you Will no. think mo conceited when | say
. am supposed to he rather good looking
girl. do not mean II in n boastful way
because there are great many who are
pretter than | am but | Just want to say
what n rather od-loOknG Elrl thinks of
the man without good looks as against the
man with good looks. / am twenty-three
years old and have been Going around with
boys since was seventeen. When I first
looks of boy. and even more than II he had
money enough to take me to places. Now I
don't t care about either. course. l don't
time without spending wha. money he can
afford on me but II he hasn't much why
It's all well and good. ! am satisfied to go
to the movies once Il week. Now. about the
looks. ! find that the plain-looking ones are
the kindest and the most considerate. Good
looking men are nearly always Conceited
TheS like to tall; about themselves and have
not time to ask questions about the interests
of the girls they with. The GOOD
looking boy is. as a rule. SO spoiled by the
many silly girls VITO willing to call him
up and write letters TO him that he thinks
every girl feels the same way about him
But the sensible girls don't feel like catering
to man just because he happens to be
''tall and handsome" And that's the rea-
son why they like the everyday man be-
cause he is kind and polite about little
things and because therefore he makes a
very good friend and n very good husband.

What Shall We Can In?

The United States food administration
believes in canning. 1t encourages the
preservation of vegetables and fruit, the
canning of fruit pulp. the bottling of
fruit juices. II is urged that housekeep-
ers should go on putting up fruit, fruit
pulp and juices, even If there is no sugar
to sweeten them. Sweetening may be
added later.
All available and reliable glass Jars
should be used. All bottles which can
be properly cleaned and sterilized can
well be used for fruit juices; open
necked bottles can be used for fruit.
Tin cans had better be left to those
who are canning on a larger scale.
There, is not large, supply and the
housekeeper can use glass jars to better
advantage.
