r CANNOT help being amused at the youth
- Of so many of the married women these
days. There's Maria Fraser Dougherty..
3 Most girls Of her age are being chaperoned
icarefully at parties and not allowed to go
out by themselves to affairs, and here she is
a married woman with a house Of her own
and entertaining for her sister in law and
taking care of her younger sister and brother.
And think of Margaret Newbold Hart
Only little over nineteen and married ana
now has the darlingest baby. 1t does not
seem possible. does it? You see. it's the
Z war. of course. as ordinarily these girls
would have waited a little longer before
marrying, though in the old days many girls
married at fifteen and sixteen. But the war
ynd the men going over, maybe to lose their
lives, made many a parent consent that the
daughters might have their hearts wish and
marry the men they loved.

DILLIE, who is two and one half years
!, - old was very fond of helping Aunty. and
was so anxious to help that sometimes he
had to be told very carefully and kindly that
his best way of helping was to watch and
not aid in putting ingredients into the cakes
that Aunty was wont to bake.
Well, one day last week Aunty was ex7
pccting company and she determined to make
one of those lovely chocolate devil cakes,
u for she knew that one of her guests at least
WAS extremely fond of sweets
While she was mixing the cake the tele-
phone rang, and cautoning Billie (whom she
calls Billie Bump. because. he bumps himself
many and many time) to be good boy,
she went to answer the call. In few min
utes she returned and finished the cake, and
it was beauty to behold.
M That evening she was eating piece with
her guests and was surprised to come across
auite lump of salt, and she thought she
saw one of the guests make bit of wry
face about that time. However she gave it
no further thought until the following day,
when Billie Bump asked. Piece Of cake,
Aunty. for Billie Bump?" Well, she cut
him wee piece and he gazed lovingly at it
and remarked. billie Bump put salt in cake
hen Aunty.' - NANCY WYNNE.
