 Public Kisses-"We are engaged. We live in different towns. I meet him at the railroad station. He wishes to kiss me right there in public when we meet, but I think 1t is not right for engaged people to do their kiss ing in public."
 (Answer) You have the right idea. Engaged couples should re- serve their kisses until they are alone. There Is a garden in her hat

 To Learn True Democracy

causes of wretchedness than all the peace conferences that were ever held. A peace that only is written on paper means nothing, no matter how carefully machinery is built tc enforce It. It is only the peace that has its basis in the hearts of the peo- pie that will last.
 I wish that this government and the governments of all the Allies would deal gently with tho people of defeated Germany. There are good people as well as bad people in Ger many. Heretofore the bad people have had the upper hand, and it was because they controlled things that Germany did the terrible things she did in tho war. But these people haVe now been driven from power and, with proper help, the others will get and keep control of the govern ment.
 Som etirnes the nation that has the greatest vices also has the greatest virtues. Good and bad are strangely mixed.
 T am a believer fin the Christian and tho Buddhist doctrines of love. I believe that great teacher is com ing who will bring the lesson of love to the world with renewed force
 ''These are the reasons I have done ns have. I wanted to learn the les sons of love and broad human sym pathy.
 T have been quoted as saying that I helped those with whom came into contact. I never said that. never had any such idea, I have nothing to give. only wanted to learn.
 Baroness Mackay has been playing the part of the servant girl since March '. having gained the position through an employment agency. By the Overtons she was considered a model servant. and although they realized that she was a woman of ex ceptional education and culture. thev never attempted to pry into her se- cret and never suspected her of being a noblewoman.
 For some little time Baroness Mac kay's husband has known of her whereabouts. as she has written him frequently. She left this week for her home in the Netherlands, to join her children, Maria, aged 12, and Donald, aged 9.
 Some day. she says, she hopes she and her husband will be able to re- turn to San Francisco to live.

Household Hints

If you want to keep your dish towels from being full of holes hold your knives with back toward you when wiping them. Tell your hus- band to do same with razor blades It will save you bathroom towels.
 When washing milk bottles put nine or ten small stones with a little piece of soap, and a little water in the bottle and shake well and every bit of dirt will come out and your bottle will shine.
 Mems and women's clothing is often discarded before 1t is worn out because of the objectionable "shine" which appears on the ma teriaI after short time. This can be remedied by sponging the shiny places on the garment with pure vinegar boiling hot Rub the vinegar into the material plentifully and wig orously. Then press with pressing iron, as usual This process should be repeated whenever the shine re appears.
 When using 1emon-juice for cook irlg, do not throw away the pulp and rind but use them for cleaning fau- cets and other nickel ornaments. Polish with a soft, dry cloth.
 When warming summer breakfast foods save the oven gas by heating an extra painful. When cooled, put in a fruit can, cover tightly ana 1t will be nice and crisp for breakfast next morning.
 When frying salt pork, have the oven quite hot, place the pork in the spider as usual and place the spider in the oven. If the oven is hot enough, 1t will be only a few min utes before the pork is done. This does away with the turning of the pork and also keeps the stove from being spattered with grease.
 When candles are too large for their holders. do not attempt to shave the end down, as so many do, but i'm merse the candle end in hot water for 0 few moments and it will then be softened, and fit firmly Into the candlestick when the wax hardens again.

LUCKY CHARMS
 AND BAD 0MENS
 FOR BETHR0T HE'D
From Time Immemorial Lovers Were Attracted by Significance of Ger
 tain Signs.

How many lovers, when they plighted their troth, have broken . piece of money in half and each kept their half until they were married!
 So long as girl faithfully keeps her half, so long will her lover re- main faithful to her, but if she should lose 1t, then she runs a great risk of quarrelling with her sweetheart and so losing him.
 For the broken piece of money to be really lucky to her it should be coined in the same year that she be- comes engaged, and the half she keeps should be the one containing the date.
 Another very lucky charm Is that as long as an engaged girl carries lock of her lovers hair no cloud will appear on the horizon of their hap piness. Her lovers hair should be carried in a heart shape 1ocket round her neck, and it should never be taken off under any circumstances
 The time of the year has a great deal to do with the luck it may bring lovers.
 Enga gements plfghted on Christ
 
 pecially, are always luckier than those plighted at any other time of the year, except on the Eve of St Agnes, January 20. Saint Agnes is the patron saint of lovers, and those who get engaged on Christ mas Eve or St. Agnes Eve are SUD- posed to be under her special care all their lives, and to have their diff faculties and troubles smoothed away before they become serious.
 In nearly every part of England there are wishing-wel1s which bring luck to lovers. In Cornwall alone there are nearly a hundred magic wells.
 At Trelleck in Monmouthshire, one of these wells, known as the Visitor S Well, is visited by girls who want to know how long they will have to wait before they will be married. Each drops pebble into the water and counts the bubbles which follow. Each bubble represents a month Of waiting for the day which will make them brides.
 The same custom is followed in many parts of England and Wales by girls eager to know when their lovers will be coming along.
 In many parts of England it is firmly believed that if a girl keeps the first tooth she loses and presents it to the man she wants to marry he will if he hasn't done so already, fall ir love with her. When she marries | and has a child the tooth should be | returned to her by her husband and hung around the baby's neck, for il will ward off all dangerous illnesses | and prevent it feeling any pain while teethtng.
 A very lucky custom - a custom that was carried out by Queen Alex andra-was to have an engagement ring, the initial letters of the stones of which spelt the lovers name. Queen Alexandra'S name for the late King Edward, for example, was Der tie, and her engagement ring had on it the stones:

From baroness to house1naid! l.. I. ..1I.. {. Arn-n Ia it r,nt9

From baroness to housemaidi
 It is quite a drop. is it not?
 In fairy stories 1t runs the other way--from kitchen drudge to prin- cess: of course you remember Cinder- ella But did you ever hear of a baroness who deliberately became a maid?
 Well. Captain and Mrs. ". S. Over ton of San Francisco were delighted when. having appealed to an employ jment agency for help, Miss Ella Hommell was sent them.
 "She is wonderful" Mrs. Overton told her friends; "so refined. really educated. We are perfectly de- lighted"
 Mrs. Overton would not have been at all surprised ct her new maids ability had she known that Ella Hom- mell was the Baroness Mackay. wife of Baron Daniel Macl2y, mayor of Mcdan, Sumatra, Dutch East Indies. But not even the employment agency knew that. In fact, no one in the city of San Francisco but the baroness herself knew it.
 When Baroness Mackay left her husband in Medan last January, she home. Ophmert Castle. The Neither lands. where two lovely children awaited her. but upon arriving at San Francisco she was cosumed with e desire to know humanity at close quarters, not as a privileged member of the upper class. but as a servant --as meek and lowly member of the masses.
 Tn these times of pain and suffer ing, I felt that must learn to serve" said the baroness. Humility and sympathy were the special lessons thought I ought to study. That Is what induced me to take the position I did.
 T almost always act on impulse. l hardly ever know what I am going to until do it.
 During the terrible years of the war I have been studying and pray ing, and have como to believe that the only way fin which, happiness can be brought Co the people of this world is through love. ! believe love the solution and the only solution tha. will solve the problems of humanity If men and women would only strive to learn this lesson they would dc more to prevent wars and other srea

Many men wear watch chains which have been woven out of the hair on their sweetheart's head. These chains are supposed to bring their wearers the greatest of luck, not only in their love affair, but in business af- fairs. The hairs from which the chain is made should never be taken from a comb or brush, but should be plucked out singly by the girl. and to make the charm doubly strong she should pluck them between the hours of midnight and one.
 A very common way for a girl to tell her future husbands name, or at any rate, the first letter of his name. is to peel an apple in such a way that the peel comes off in one piece. She should then gently twir1 it roun d her head three times. finally casting it over her left shoulder on to the floor. where 1t will be found to have forrne q a letter which is the initial of her future husbands name.
