Does Not Like cynthIa,s Stand

Dear Cynthia don't like the stand
you take on some matters. 1t is too
much OF purely woman's standpoint.
For example, your view on the subject
of jealousy. Now, II a man cares for a
girl he will be jealous. no matter II he
Is broadly educated or not. There are
times when he can't help showing It.
II he has spent lot of money on a girl
and she mas encouraged his attentions
he has a right and first claim to her
She should consider his feelings and sac
ritice that much for him.
Most women will accept a mans at.
tentions. and after he has learned to
care they will grow cold and Indifferent.
Especially is this true in a city where
desires to be escorted to. BY actual ex-
perience and observation Of the woes of
others I can say that women usually
start things going wrong. God mace
nine out OF ten OF them SO willful and
changeable that Mrs out Of ten stable
men must suffer. Let women try to be
more true to their friends and satisfied
with friends who are true to them, and
we will have a better world to live In.
J. C. b.
Cynthia is sorry that she does not
meet with your approval. but she holds
to her opinion. a man has no right to
demand woman's whole time unless she
is engaged TO him In other words. un.
less he has come right out in the open
and asked her to marry him.. A woman
granted, and so is man.
1t is better to face refusal OF mar
riage than to let things drift and sud-
denly find out that the man or the
woman in which the other person Is in
terested is not In earnest.

DICE is u cereal which is grown in
IN nearly every country, and it is
staple article of diet for nearly one half
Of the population of the entire world.
In this country Arkansas, Louisiana,
Texas and the Carolinas are the largest
states which produce rice as staple
crop.
The composition of the natural rice,is
about 10 per cent carbohydrates and
per cent protein and per cent fat. The
white of polished rice loses its mineral
and fat content when the little brown
outer shell is removed.
Rice may be included in the diet with
m assurance of the fact that the use OF
the natural rice will be an ideal starchy

A little trick for the successful cook
Ing of rice: II must be thoroughly
understood, il we are to utilize to its
fun value. Many cooks cook rice in a

rice and first measure the required

cup of rice, then you must place two

w would be no more possible for me to
resist telling you about earrings every
once in a while than it would for me
to resist hurrying back to tell you of a
bargain. But on the other hand, when
see a fascinating collection Of Jade

lghtful contrast against the soft white
of cool georgette crepe dress, or their
lovely harmonizing with a little frock
OF gray or clinging one Of satiny black,
why then small wonder that I want to
tell you about them. This is par
ticularly irresistible collection. There
are bizarre pairs consisting of large
rings of jade, depending from a single
rounded piece. Then there is another
pair, consisting Of tiny round pieces of
the cool green, strung on delicate links
of green gold. To tell you about each
pair would take up ever so much space.
So instead am merely mentioning one
or two, to give you an idea of their
loveliness. Prices go from fifty cents
to 50.
Dorothea has just made such a dainty
boudoir pillow. She happened to have
some odds and ends Of batiste, and by

it is the filet that really does it. "It
looks so expensive" I said, with
those lovely filet inserts" ''But it
