Dr.. Certeis Offers Me a Strange
Temptation of Love.

TONY is accusing you! For the first
time in all your silly, useless. life,
Jane Lorimer. he Is making you rea-
lize that you are quite a bit response
Bile for his unhappiness. At least he Is
actually blaming you for most of it,"
This was the train of thoughts arous-
ed in me by Tony's stern reminder
that knew very well how to change
my existence under his roof from
frave to gay.
l accepted his rebuke meekly. for

dealings with Tony. I had always pro-
ceeded like any vain coquette. ! had
taken his homage as my inalienable
right; without particle of conscience.
had let him make love to me, and
then l had married Bob. 1t is no,
hardness of heart which makes girl,
act soft is simply curious femin-
inc egotism which makes them kind
to a kitten but cruel to a man, which
permits them to handle a mans love
as II it were no more valuable than a
box of bonbons or bouquet he brings
them.
l had suffered bitterly since my hus-
band had denied me my rightful place
in his heart and so at last had awak-
ened to q little knowledge OF how
Tony Certeis must have suffered on
my account. j began to feel very sor-
ry for him.
l noticed that the longer / stayed
in his house, the more melancholy
Certeis became. Sometimes l. thought
it was not entirely for sentimental
reasons. Like other men. he probably
had business affairs which bothered
him.
But when I announced my plan to go
away. Certeis objected:
why leave me. Jeanne? Jane Lori

BACK IN THE RIGHT ROAD
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

upon a married man comparable
with that which his wife has. when
a man selects one woman out OF All
the world for his own and takes
her life into his keeping he lays
upon himself an obligation that su-
persedes every other obligation in
his life.
Nor should a mans pity for any
ether woman compare with his pity
for his wife. The surerinEs Of a
discarded lady love are as nothing
TO those Of the wife who knows
herself dishonored. forsaken, neg
lected by her husband.
Neither Is any mans responsfbn-
ity for any other woman comp,r-
able with that which he owes 10
the wife whom he hs. sworn be-
fore God and man 20 cherish and
protect.
II is what a man owes 20 his
wife and his children. ey>~ more
than what he owes 70 his own
soul, that should give the one who
has done wrong the strength and
courage TO come back and try to
atone for his misstep.
And II he has TO pay for this
with suffering, and with makinS
another suffer. II is the inevitable
price Of wrong doing and a debt
that none may evsde settling.
1t is the custom to think that
only the woman sinner pays, and
that men may fout the law, of
morality and the conventions OF
society and go scot free. Never
/ was there a greater mistake. The
man sinner pays, even as the wom-
an sinner pays, and no youth sovs
wild cat crop that he does not
harvest in tears. and anguish.
Disease and death. dodderInC
senility, lunstics raving in padded
cells, these are the price that
thousands upon thousands pay for
their youthful follies. Thousands
CT other men are drained Of their
money by blsckmailers who make
them pay through the years for the
weakness OF a moment. Still thou
sands OF other men go staggering
through life with some hsrpy
fastened, like an old woman Of the
sea, upon their shoulders whom
they cannot shake OF
Many men stumble along the
road. Wise and happy those who
have the courage TO turn back and
seek the right way once more.

A married man who has been in
dulging in an under-the-rose love
affair finds that his romance has
gone fiat and stale. He no longer
even imagines that he loves the
woman he thought he preferred to
his wife. and he doubts her sin
certify as all such men doubt all such
women. He repents his wrong in
sackcloth and ashes, and he wants
TO know how he can break OF this
relationship that has become a hor-
ror to him.
This is a problem that many an
other man besides this one is trying
hopelessly to solve, for il is one OF
life's bitter ironies that il is always
eassr to do things than TO undo
them, and the consequences Of our
acts are so much greater than the
acts themselves. The follies that we
commit in a moment hound our foot
steps with their sinister results 70
the day of our death.

his own way out of the mire. Tho
only thing that one can tell him
with absolute certainty is that be.

straight and narrow path is no e1-
cuse for keping on the downward
road. There is still the clean, frn
rock-bottomed highway of right liv-

fiber Of his manhood calls to him tc
fight back to it and set his feet upon
IL once more.
There is no easy. comfortable and
nicely graded boulevard which leads
| from the lower TO the upper path
1t is always a cruel. hard climb, q
steep climb and one that takes
| every particle Of the strength, gri,
and endurance OF those who make
| il. And when they do reach theil
goal they are torn, bleeding ano
bruised, body and soul.
The only way to reform is to re-
form. The only way to quit SHINING
! is to stop II. And do II now. None
Of us can unite the snarls We make
of our lives by our weaknesses, and
our yielding to temptation II we &c

! swift, sharp blow of the sword oi
determination.
| This is doubly true as regards ar
entanglement that man has witt
a woman. II he argues with hei
and temporizes with her, he Is lost
1 II he subjects himself to her tears
he is lost and damned. She will pull
him deeper down into the slough
and bind him hand and foot. and
render him powerless to climb out
Of the pit into which he has de-
scended.
Therefore the only salvation fol
the man who has been dsllyinf
! along the primrose path is to make
a quick, decisive break with his
DelIlah, and flee from her for his
life, without once turning TO look
back. 1t takes courage TO do this
1t takes a certain hardness that
many men do not possess For II
Is not easy to beat of the clinEtns
hands Of a woman you once thought
YOU loved or TO turn a deaf ear to

But louder than the voice of the

How to Use, Store
And Save Valuable
Fats in Household
BY BIDDY BYE.

Fat foods are one of the chief
sources of bodily heat, energy and
endurance, and until the world fam
lily fat allowance is restored to some
thing near normal it behooves every
American housewife to use fats Of
all kinds with care, intelligence and
economy. The present price Of but
ter, lard. bacon, oils and fats Of all
kinds is another argument for learn
ing the thrifty use of fats. Store
all fats in earthen or metal con-
tainers and protect from light. heat.
and air.
In using butter or butter substi-
tutes for the table do not serve from
a general butter plate. Cut the but
ter IN small pats or squares and
serve just enough to each person SO
that none will be left on the plates
At meals with which a rich meat and
gravy is served butter is not neces-
/ sary.
For spreading sandwiches melted
/ chicken or bacon fat is a satisfactory
butter substitute. Peanut or other
nut buffers, jellies, fruit pastes, ETC..
may be used for sandwiches instead
OF butter.
In making pastries preference should
be given the open face or one-cIust
types. Almost all pastry receipts car
stand some reduction of the fat CALL
ed for, and such fat as is used should
be vegetable. Foods cooked in deep
fat can be dispensed with a few
months longer, as they were during
the war. 1t Is more important that
babies al over the world should have
the milk and butter fat that makes
them grow-and that workers should
have the fat that supplies labor en-
ergy-than that a few of us we'll
fed ones should have. special treat
tof doughnuts. croquets, or French
| fried"
The quantity Of other fats which
are equivalent to lard are as follows
cupfuls OF fine chopped suet equal
l cupful of lard, 1 cupful of vegetable
oil equals l cupful Of lard, l cup
tul of meat drippinss equals / cup
full lard, / cupful melted suet equals
1 cupful lard.
| Nuts are splendid fat foods and
should be freely used. One cupful of
finely chopped walnut meats equals
nearly 2-3 cupfuls OF pure fat, and
cupful Of chopped peanuts equals
1-2 cupful Of fat An ounce of pure
chocolate is equal to / Tablespoonful
of pure fat, and l cupful of grated
cheese contains ? l-2 tablespoon.
fuls of fat. Use such fatty foods in
stead of lard and butter.
