The Mans Side OF Married Life

"The A No. 4 Works Overtime"
In the instant between the time
when the motorcycle cop growled
his command o us to stop and
when Edith maraged to bring the
car to a halt, she had flicked away
her cigaret. As she now turned her
eyes upon the policeman she looked
as demure as boarding school miss.
You were doing AS an hour" said
the policeman gruffly. 'That'll mean
n summons and a fine tomorrow"
"Oh officer" and Edith gave him
one of her A. No. L Carefully Sc

that? l had nc idea"
Tell that to the judge tomorrow,
Miss" returned the policeman grim

"Oh, dear. of course l don't blame

was working overtime in the dim re-

1t was the thinest kind of an ex-
cuse, and the policeman tried to in
terrupt, but Edith Eel right on:
Il suppose it was very wicked of
me to disregard the traffic rules, but
officer, you don't know how fright

to see you draw up to the machine

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Iced drinks can be divided into
two classes, those with a definite
amount of food value and those of
an acid quality which stimulate the
appetite.
Iced chocolate and coffee are rich
in sugar and fat. These drinks
should be served with a meal which
is scanty in fat and sugar. Other
wise the cold drink will defeat its
purpose and be heating rather than
cooling.
The tartness Of most drinks made
with tea as a basis acts as a stimu-
liant.
An iced drink must be just as cold
as ice will make it, for a would-be
cold drink that is just cooled is less
acceptable on a hot day than a
piping hot drink.
Iced Tea
Iced tea is best made of hot tea.
Fill tea glasses with cracked ice and
pour ordinary freshly brewed tea on
the ice. If the tea touches the glass
a broken tumbler is the result.
Make the tea as strong as for hot
tea, The melted ice weakens 1t
enough to make it just right. Iced
tea should not be as strong as hot
tea. Iced tea made In this fashion
has the same c~learness and frag-
rance as hot tea. Serve slices of
lemon literally sprinkled with gran
ulated sugar with the tea. A sprig
hof mint crushed against the glass
Echanges the taste and is refreshing.
Tea Punch
Two teaspoons tea, 4 cups water,
bottle ginger ale, 3 lemons, 1scup
sugar, X cup water.
Put sugar and " cup water in
I'D shri,no c1nuy1u tn hill
ing point. Boil 2 minutes. Pour
the 1 cupfuls of freshly boiling water
over tea leaves and let stand 3 min
utes. Fill glasses with cracked ice
and pour the hot tea on the ice.
making the glasses about half full.
Add / tablespoonful of the sirup and
1 tablespoonful of lemon juice. Fill
the glasses up with ginger ale. This
rule will make s glasses. The tea
may be poured ever ice in a large
pitcher or punch bowl and the drink
mixed all at once.
Iced Coffee
Iced coffee is made of fresh hot
coffee in just the same way thai iced
tea is made. A spoonful of ream
is usually put in the glass with the
cracmd ice. A spoonful of whipped
cream is then put on top. Serve with
graduated sugar.
Iced Chocolate
Two a bitter chocolate. 4
tablespoons sugar, y cup boiling
water, 81 cups milk, few grains
Ysalt, 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Y Cut chocolate into bits and melt In
ton of double boiler. Add sugar and
water and stir until perfectly smooth.
Add salt. Scald milk and add part
to chocolate mixture. Beat. Pour
this mixture into the remaining milk
and peal until the whole is frothy
and boiling. Chill. Add vanilla be-
fore serving. Put a piece of ice In
each glass to serve and top with
sweetened whipped cream.
Half and Half
One-half cup strong coffee, y cup
strong cocoa. 8 cups milk, u cup
whipping cream.
Strong coffee left from breakfast
NAV be used for this drink. Make
the cocoa by d~issolving 4 tablespoons
cocoa and 4 tablespoons sugar in n
Gun cold water. Add the coffee to
this and bring to the boiling point.
Add u cup boiling water. Let cool
and add to milk. Serve in glasses
with ice in each glass and top with

Hot Weather Care
For Your Baby
BY c SAM. NJ. D.

To keep a baby well is much
easier than to cure him when he
becomes sick.
In a room crowded with strange
people, there always is likely to be
someone who is suffering from a
catching disease, or who may have
come from a home where such a
disease is present. For that reason,
a little baby should be kept away
from crowds and crowded places in
order to protect him from exposure
to disease.
Most healthy grown persons carry
disease germs in their mouth. They
do an adult no harm. But in kiss
ing a baby on the mouth. these
germs may be transferred to the
beby's tender mouth and make him
i'll or even kill him. Kissing the baby
on the mouth, even by his own
mother. should not be permitted
A little cold in a big person IS
likely to mean a big cold in a little
baby. Any M suffering from a cold.
cough or sore throat should remain
away from a young child. If the
nursing mother catches a cold she
should spray her nose and throat
with en- antiseptic solution and take
every ~ eSuulloH d5oiHSL iilSStihS
her little me
To keep a baby well give him
regular systematic care; keep him
away from crowds and away from
sick people and every possible ex-
posture to sickness or disease.
Bottle Feeding
Feeding a baby on the bottle Is a
difficult thing to do successfully. II
it is not done properly the baby will
get sick, and may lose It's life.
Feeding the baby on a bottle
needs to be under the supervision
of a physician.
The bottle should always be held
while the child is taking the food.
while feeding. Do not allow him to
drink longer than 20 minutes. Do
not urge him to take more than he
wants. If he does not take the
whole feeding, throw out that re-
naming in the bottle. Do not save
1t for another time.
A child should not be played with
after feeding. He should not be al
lowed to suck on an empty bottle:
or allowed to sleep or play with the
nipple in his mouth.
Put I'm Cool Place
After feeding, the child should
be placed right and patted gently
to allow. him to bring up gas or air
which he has swallowed.
He should then be placed In the
bed-but not rocked.
When milk is delivered to the
home the bottle should be put inn
mediately in a cool place. Never
allow milk to stand in the hot sun
or the warm kitchen. or remain in
an uncovered vessel where flies may
get into It..
Before using a bottle of milk
wipe the cap carefully with a clean,
damp cloth.

Editorials For
Women Folks

Martha's father had been a judge
something of a figure in his day.
He was one of those men who asked
his wife if he might remove his coat
while in the house who still be-
iieved in the pedestaled woman.
And SO when Martha came, he
Immediately began to plan. She
should be we'll educated, indeed
quite finished, before she should
mingle much with folk. She must
be turned out on the world a fin
ished product.
Thus she was taken to Europe
and travelled to all of the places Of
interest and came back with trunks
and boxes full of wonderful things.
There were dishes made in the royal
kiln in Germany, queer little ham
dleless cups with exquisitely COL
oIed flowers on them. There was
glass from Italy etched and mar
velously colored. There were silk
skawls of such delicacy that their
web-like meshes slipped easily
through a ring. There were wonder
full linens and ribbons of such plia-
bility and richness that they would
outlast the life of their wearer.
When Martha came home she was
put at studying. She was still very
young when she could sit down at
the piano and play from memory
and intelligently numbers from
Bach and Chopin r page after
page of Czerney mechanisms. With
her father she studied Greek, they
conYersed in French and German
and she regarded reading some old
Latin books an entertainment.
She had no friendship with boys
and very little time for girls, for
the other could all wait until she
was finished and could select.
But somehow when it was all in-
ished and Martha finally came home
from New York with the finest mu-
sic at her finger tips; Latin, Greek
French and German on the end of
her tongue and an a~rtificially devel-
oped ems of society and it's forms
something was wrong.
The wonderful drawing room in
which Martha was to preside and in
which she was to serve marvellous
foods and drinks with the exquisite
appointments was a failure because
when there were really young peo-
pie in it this brilliant girl did not
know how to act or what TO say.
They were strangers who spoke in
a strange tongue. And they went
away and did not come back. So
Martha, who had been young alone,
went on growing old alone. OF
course her father and her mother
died and then folk called the wo-
man who lived in the big house
alone queer"
Finally Martha became fond Of a
student Is years her junior-too
fond, and then people actually
laughed at this woman to whom a
Bach-Busoni edition was play and
who could speak several languages
correctly while they could not han
die even one well.
Eventually the young student
himself laughed-laughed at the
gifts she showered him with-and
married a girl who could play a lit
tie ragtime and dance and talk a
little of the same thing.
So Martha went on living alone
in the big house, more shut away
than ever and finally died alone and
the few folk who went to her fun
eral went because they were GU
rious.
Martha had been queer" they
said. but what they didn't under
stand was that it wasn't Martha's
fault and that at heart she was
just like themselves and her queer
ness was the result of being denied
