ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
The Married Deceiver.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have a very pretty sister OF
nineteen and there is married
man who continually calls on
her and takes her out while his
wife goes about alone.
When 1 reprimand her she
tells me he is sincere in his WOO.
ing and some day intends marry
ing her, and also cannot see why
I become angry.
Can you advise me what to de-
as 1 am really distracted over It?
r. r.
No wonder you are distracted
over your foolish little sister. II
talking to her as I am sure You
can talk to her does no good, cam
you contrive to find some fine
young companion for her who.
even II he can't give the thing
this married man affords, can still
give her something to take thu
place Of the worldly things this
man offers? Tact and patience
may help. Above all, make your
sister feel that you understand her
longings for happiness and are
aware OF her struggle. Don't let
her feel that you are spying on her
or that the man Is her one devoted
friend and you. who want to save
her from him, are her foe. Life Is
full of examples of women who
have been foolish enough to be.
lieve that a man who is married
to one woman and courts another
Ia to be trusted. But the woman
who steals love In this way from
another woman generally finds
that her love can be stolen from
her In turn as soon as she is no
longer a novelty.

WHEN GUESTS
ARRIVE
BY Loretto c. Lynch
An Authority On All Matters Per-
tanning to Household
MANAGEMENT.

" HERE comes time In the life
Of every housewife when she
wants 20 spread herself in the
way Of hospitality. Let me tell you
about a dish called melon supreme
which is served as a first course at
a California inn. To prepare this
dish 1t is necessary to have a French
potato ball cutter. These may be
purchased at the speciality shops for
about IS cents. With the aid of the
instrument balls about one inch in
diameter are cut from both water
melon and cantaloupe. These are
thoroughly chilled and served in
stemmed glasses set on pretty doilies
on small plates.
The rainbow glass of Bohemian
make are ideal for serving this dish.
Pears cut into balls, moistened
with lemon juice, busted with pow
dered sugar and then rolled in finely
chopped nut meats and topped off
with a little whipped cream forced
through the pastry tube makes
dessert de luxe. 1t Is served in some
Of the better tea shops as a first
course. A bright cherry is some
times set into the cream.
Pastry bags and tube ran be pur-
chased for as little as so cents and
should be among the possession Of
the up.to-date kitchen. The cream
goes farther than when daubed on
with a spoon and the dish assumes
decidedly professional appearance.
An attractive salad may be made
by mixing equal quantities of
chilled diced celery and apple. The
mixture is slightly moistened with
mayonnaise and pressed into a
custard cup. II Is removed careful
ly to a crisp leaf Of lettuce. Finely
cut walnut meats Is sprinkled over
e the little mound and the mayon-
naise is sparingly forced through
the pastry tube. Stars or hearts
cut from green peppers or beets or
pimentos are used to garnish this
unusually attractive salad. Tiny
cutters in a variety OF forms may
be purchased at less than rs cents
at the shops.
Chicken broth may be made more
attractive by the addition of
rosette Of whipped unsweetened
cream forced through the pastry
yibe just before serving. Tomato
nouillon served I'm pretty cups may
be made more attractive by the
addition of a little unsweetened
whipped cream just before serving.
Butter Is another item that may
be made more attractive. There is
an inexpensive device which when
drawn over the print of butter
produces the most attractive sea
shells. The forms may be dropped
into ice water until wanted.
A real ice cream surprise may
be held in small flower pots. After
n thorough scrubbing each is lined
with waxed paper and the ice
cream packed in. TO represent

occasionally by the housewife who
does not have to resort to rigid
economy.

Early Sharp Decline
Hits Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-There was
a sharp decline in the cotton mar
ket directly after the opening. 1t
was mostly due to the sympathetic
influence of the reaction in the Liv-
erpool market. An additional fac
tor was heavy liquidation In Decem-
Der contracts by local and Wall
Street longs. They were active IN
getting out OF that month to es-
cape receiving cotton on deliveries
on their contracts and transferring
them to mostly March and May. De-
cember went of nearly 40 points
from yesterdays closing on this move
ment. with the price going down to
about 171a cents. The decline in the
rest of the list ranged from II to
20 points from yesterdays closing
prices under the lead Of January and
March. with January selling at 17.4S;
March. 17.40; and May. 17.17, against
1888 for July.
After the closing Liverpool cables
were In. a good rally set in here.
with active covering of shorts and
the local bulls bidding up the mar
ket on this covering demand. The
rally continued until prices had been
carried up to 20 and 25 points over
yesterdays closing for the general
contract list by 2 o'clock, while De-
cember advanced to 10 points over
that month. going back to IS cents;
January. 1898; March. 1888: May,
1877. and July to 17.12. 1t was
give-and-take sort of a market all
day. with no particularly new features
in the general situation outside of
the slump at Liverpool and the
liquidating movement here In De-
cember contracts.
