SOCKS TO DARN.

In single life, as facts disclose,
Lee Wise saved his holesome
hose. He laid them carefully away
for darning on later day.
So when at last he took a wife
and entered into married life, a fine
array of sockly kicks were waiting
for the wife to fix.
She therefore took a running start
and darned them, every one apart.
Oh, what a wise old guy was Lee
to save his ,yife a socking bee!
So men. If you be single still,
wear out your sockets with a will,
but save them all. | recommend,
like Lee Wise. for your wife to
mend.

w yHEN the love which sanctifes
w marriage is gone shall the
two who no longer care for
each other make lie of their lives
or shall they strike out and search
anew for happiness?
A member of the Rainbow Divi-
sion writes me a pathetic letter Of
the love that is ended between him
and the girl he married eight years
ago. The two who married as chill
dren-she fifteen and he but twenty
have found that all the romance
and glamour and thrill which once
is now gone and forgotten.
For four years circumstances
have kept the husband and wife
apart. Now they meet and talk in
friendlier fashion than when they
were quarreling and pickering
though still making a pretence of
loving each other. But love is
gone. They mean nothing to each
other. There is no hatred. Only a
vast GOODNESS. a complete indiffer-
ence. And what, asks the desper-
ate husband, shall they do?
The laws of our state do not
recognize 'incompability" as cause
for divorce. As matter of fact
even tho State of Nevada where
the divorce laws are broader in
their scope than in any other State
OF the Union, requires such un-
pleasant sounding things as de
sertion one year, felony, habitual
drunkenness, physical incapacity,
cruelty, neglect to provide one
year"
Now I wonder IL a soldier who
has fought for his country wants
to go on record as a wife-deserter,
as a man who has been cruel to
his wife ~or who has neglected to
provide during whole year,
wonder.
have always thought that II 1t
weren't quite so easy for unthink-
ing young things to plunge into
matrimony and IL IL were a great
deal easier for hideously mismated
people to get out OF their misery
1t would be better for our Land.
Yet I do not beIieye in my heart
and soul that divorce Is a thing
with which 1 want to see those I
love make parley. Consider the
beautiful words. For richer, for
poorer; in sickness, in health: till
death us do part" And whom
God hath Joined together let no
man put asunder."
So in my heart I ALLURE divorce
as earnestly rs any lawmaker In
South Carolina. where divorce Is
not granted on any grounds, and
where, until recently, a marriage
license was not required.
But with my head I recognize
that there IL nothing divine about
most marriages. Youth mistakes
attraction for the deeper feeling OF
love on which true marriage should
be based. A whirl OF emotion-and
two unthinkinr young things are
yoked together In a partnership
which must needs be CALLING. since

How 10 Determine Amount Bread
Dough Should Rise

Beginners often have difficulty in
telling whether the dough is ready
to be divided into loaves and put
into pans. A good rule is to meas
ure it's volume. When II is ready
to be made into loaves the dough
for each loaf. IL made out of hard
wheat flour. should amount to
three pints; IL made from soft flour,
to about two and a half pints.
The levels to which these masses
OF dough will reach in the mixing
bowl can easily be determined be-
forehand and marked. For illus
tration: If one loaf of bread is to
be made, before mixing 1t put three
pints OF water into the mixing
bowl and mark the point to which
the water comes. This will indi-
cate the height to which the dough
should rise.
When recipes direct that dough
be allowed to double or treble in
volume it is convenient to have a
measuring glass to determine the
expansion. An ordinary tumbler
will do, but glass of smaller di-
ameter. like a small jelly glass, is
better. Before the dough is set to
rise tear off a small piece and pack

WrTH all Furnishings and NIX
w isgs OF the various rooms
for the spring, curtains are
one OF the items that one frequent
ly wishes TO replace or renew. And
sometimes we get 80 tired OF the
old draperies, and even IL they are
good, want to liyen them a bit.
A few days ago / saw some trim
mings on curtains that were just a
little different" There were tiny
apples. pears, flowers. leaves and
tendrils cut OF Wagons colored felts
and lightly blind-stitched on the
curtain draperies. This particular
pair were almost OF q peach color
OF silk. and the fruits and flowers
were OF harmonizing tones.
Immediately | thought of a pair
OF pongee curtains that drape a
room of a friends house. and /
could see the pretty tones OF brown
and bronze and gold that might be
used with them. Sometimes there
are Just tiny circles OF felt cut out
and sewed to the curtains with
fancy beads in the center. But at
any rate. the idea Is worth giving
you. for you may find a practical
application OF IT for your own
home. and the very best part OF all
is that you can add these decora-
lions yourself II you are at all
handy with the needle.
And the tops of the windows
were dressed rather differently,
too. Instead OF the valance to
which we are accustomed, the silk
was shirred both top and bottom
to small brass rods, the side drapes
hanging straight on either side
from under the lower shirring.
