LIFE ''

here at ny home in California I am never without their influence.
 One of the joys of my life is the hundreds of friends they have brought me from all parts of the world For flower-lovers are on a common ground and l have seldom found any but sympathetic understanding among those who know their language
 Not many years ago l was an in valid, confined to my room in San Francisco l could never get out into the open, SO my Japanese boy, Osam Shudow, daily brought me flowers to liven my room l grew to know them, to love them
 Finally, ten years ago, l made up my mind to take a chance and get out in the open. With a little money l had saved, and what I could borrow, Osam and I came to- San Mateo, where we started to grow dahlias- It was hard work and my part consisted in sitting in an inValid's chair under the trees while Osanl did the work And as flowers began to blossom. l, too began to grow stronger. happier, and 10 take more interest in life became able to take my place in the garden
 And from that day to this- although Osam is dead. and although my flowers now are grown in every part of the world, have never ceased to work among them. To give that S2 would

Farmer Browns boy saw him right away He put down his lantern and lifted his gun to shoot Then he put his gun down again to laugh. You see, it really was very funny to see Jimmy trying to back out of something which was fast to his own head.
 "Ho, ho, hot" laughed Farmer Browns boy. That's a new kind of a trapl I won't waste shot on you, MT Skunk, because a club will do just as well.n

There was a hcle under that porch, the very hole into which Peter Rabbit had dived the day before. Jimmy felt along until he found it. and then backed in. Now I'll be safe" thought Jimmy, as he squeezed through. Alas Jimmy had forgotten the can on his head. The hole wasn't big enough for the can to go through,
 In the mean time Farmer Browns boy had found a club. He saw Jimmy disappearing under the porch and he rushed up and grabbed the can to pull Jimmy out Jimmy Skunk braved him self under the porch and pulled. and outside Farmer Browns boy held to the can and pulled. It seemed to Jimmy as if his head would be pulled off. Then suddenly Jimmy fell over flat on his back under the porch and Farmer Browns boy feu flat on his back out side. The can had come off,

SPONGE CAKE ! You Can Make In IS Minute

fCu Gan hdke m lo HinuSeS
 Many housekeepers feel that the beating required to make a sponge cake is to great tax on their strength and time This is true when the whites and yolks of the eggs are beaten separately. But here is a way to make sponge cake that takes but 15 minutes. The cake is just as spongey and delicious as the most exacting could wish.
 Sponge Cake Recipe
 Break eggs in the top of double boiler. Add F cup of sugar and k teaspoon salt. Set this in the lower part of the boiler. over hot water. Keep the water hot but below the boil ing point. Beat with Dover beater for 10 or 15 minutes. Sift in F cup of flour and add F teaspoon vanilla Stir the flour in quickly and lightly. Turn into individual pans or an angel cake pan. Bake in a rather quick oven. The little cakes will bake in about 12 minutes. When the cake shrinls from the pans it is done.
 Sponge cake is as cheap a cake as can be baked and is the most easily digested.
 Menu for Tomorrow
 BREAKFAST: Tangerines. bacon in cream sauce, toast, coffee LUNCHEON: Toasted vegetable sandwiches, canned peaches, sponge cup cakes, tea.
 ! DINNER: Baked ham with caramel sauce, riced potatoes, spinach, apple celery-nut salad, pineapple sponge coffee
 < My Own Recipes l Salt pork is almost as good as bacon | prepared with d cream sauce The pork should be sliced thin, dipped ir flour and browned quickly. A cream sauce is then made just as for bacon

 She wept. Copiously, but sweetly, like a grieved schoolgirl But they all do that I'm used to it. am relentless and unmoved, Suddenly the young thing threw herself into my arms and coaxed: 'Aw, Boss! Don't be cross! You know you love mel Wasn't thai some opening for bashful bachelor? ?''
 "So-you were vanquished in the end ?'

THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
BY JEAN NEWTON

Then the phone rang. It was Jack I'm sorry if I was cross this morning. Does the little girl forgive me-
 What a desr-always apologizing when it was your fault. How wonder ful it was to have such a husband what a beautiful world that produced such a. husband. How thankful l should be-
 And, sure enough, as you looked up through the window from where you were sitting at the phone the clouds were parting and the sun came burst ing through. A glorious day, What was the matter with me a moment ago."
 Oh, Hattie's girls. That was nothing You would write them and explain. The landlord? Jack would deal with him in the decided manner in which he dealt with all things. He'd show him who's who in this land of the free and the home cf the brave. And Louise worries glistening through a broad smile:
 What yo' going to want foh lunch, mann dear?" Leave you9 No indeed. In Louise Washington White you had a jewel of great price very firmly attached to her setting It need not have been Jacks call. Any other pleasant thing. and the sun coming out would have started the ball rolling upward just the same Of course, you know all along that you
 would have needed, only to take Jack aside, box his ears, kiss him and he | would have danced with adoration enough to settle Mrs. Willy once and for all
 Strange, isn't it-how & few moments can see such a change. Just one little thing started it, and then just one little thing changed it all, and the darkest hour was just before sunrise.

The Darkest Hour Before Dawn


 What started it2 Oh, perhaps you couldn't get the dress in time for the party, or you had quarreled with Jack and today of all days. The Wiilys were coming to dinner and Mrs. Willy did hint that your version of Jack was too good to be true. You never could act as though nothing had happened no matter who was there, and now, OH account of that little thing this morn ing she would have a chance to think awful things-and perhaps say them That started it.
 Then Hattie phoned and told you that three of the girls at the bridge yesterday had been offended at what you said and wouldn't come to your house next week.

MARRIAGE LICENSE
EXPERIENCE VALUABLE

; There's nothing like expert :
; ence: It is as useful in matri- :
monial as in business and pro-
fessional affairs,
The first time the average
man takes marriage license
to the minister or the magis-
trate he is in doubt about the
fee for the performance OF the
ceremony. Sometimes he asks
what the officiating knot tyer
expects, sometimes he takes
shot at 1t by offering what he
guesses will be satisfactory or
what he is able to pay. and
sometimes he goes off without
paying anything for ceremony,
only to blush and exhibit con-
, fusion on account thereof, when
called back. Others wait to be
told the fec for the wedding
ceremony. as they did when they
bought tho license and when the
clerk said three dollars, please"
But one of the experienced
sort showed up at the Pueblo
; county clerks office the Other
day. i, wasn't fccessary TO
consult the license stub to know
that he had been married be-
fore. for when the clerk placed
the license in a large envelope
and handed it TO the near bride
groom he coolly fished out of his
pocket s. William and placed II
In the envelope alongside the
