WHO PAYS FOR EoLLY9


 Men and women do not understand each other. Woman is so mysterious. Man is dumb feature. So runs the popular opinion. Whatever the cause. this lack of understanding produces tragedy.
 Consider the matter of loyalty in absence. The engaged man usually is certain about the stability of the girls emotions while he is away He knows she will not flirt. Doesn't he love her just because she is so hon. Ust9
 And he expects to play a fair game while separated from her.
 But temptation comes-not always very big-but too alluring to be thrust aside; and afterward, if the girl back home finds out, does he have the least idea how badly she feels?
 He seldom does. Therefore the following sad letter may reveal a little of the kind of hurt from which any engaged girl would suffer if she had occasion to write a similar story.
 T have been engaged for several years to a man much liked and re spected in our community. I wear his ring. Our friends have congrat- ulated us.

2 eggs, F cup milk. 2Is teaspoons baking powder, 2-3 cups flour. l teaspoon vanilla, E teaspoon salt.
 Fill measuring cup half full of wa ter and put in enough butter to make the water rise to the top of the cup. Pour oft water and put butter in mixing bowl. Work butter with a wooden spoon and pour off any but termilk or water that works out.
 Gradually sift in sugar until you have a creamy mass. Then slit in about one-fourth sup of the flour. This will prevent the mixture from separating when the eggs are added. Beat eggs well with a Dover beater and beat into first mixture.
 Mix and sift flour, baking powder and saft. Add part of this to the first mixture. stirring the whole to make a perfectly smooth mass. Stir in part of the milk. making the mix ture perfectly smooth. Add dry and liquid ingredients alternately until all are used. Add vanilla and beat just enough to mix thoroughly
 Pour into an oiled and floured cake pan or two layer cake pans and bake in a moderate oven. IL should take the layers about 20 minutes to bake and the loaf about 30 or 40 minutes. Never grease a cake pan with but ter. The salt in the butter scorches quickly and has a strong taste. Olive oil or sweet lard is best.
 When a loaf cake must be baked very slowly the pan should be lined with a paraffine paper.
 Granulated sugar should be used for all cakes unless otherwise stated in the recipe. Half butter and half lard used in a dark cake makes a tenderer cake.
 All ingredients should be ready tC be put in the cake at their appointed time without letting the cake mix ture stand. This preparedness is one secret of successful cake baking. Regulating, the heat in the oven is perhaps the hardest part about cake baking A reliable oven thermom- eter eliminates guesswork but ar old fashioned test that has proven itself is trying the oven with a piece of white paper.
 If the paper turns a deep yellow ir five minutes the oven is right foI layer cakA If the paper turns a pale yellow in five minutes the oven is right for sponge cake.
 A cake may be warm or cold tc frost if a cooked frosting is used. Ar uncooked frosting should be spread on a warm cake.-(Copyright 1921 Nea Service.)

from the yolls. Beat yolks and water until thick and lemon colored, using a dover beater. Beat in the sugar gradually. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
 Add baking powder and salt to flour and sift six times Add this to first mixture. beating first with the beater and finishing with a spoon. Beat in vinegar and vanilla.
 Beat whites of eggs till stiff and dry. The success of the cake depends greatly on the Iightness of the whites. Fold the whites into the first mix ture and pour into cake pan with a chimney. Bake 40 minutes in a moderate oven.
 A sponge cake is "done" when 1t shrinks from the sides of the pan. Remove from the over and turn up- side down on a cake rack. It should drop from the pan in a few minutes.
 This rule for sponge cake was worked out for bread flour.

A HUSBAND TO MARCIA
Chapter xi
Bq CAROLYN BEECHER

Chapter X
 Johns tender heart smote him when he saw how Marcia felt about the new coat, so he assured her it was all right. that he loved to see her look nice, that he was always proud of her beauty, and naturally it needed the proper setting. Fin ally she smiled through her tears, called him an old dear, and added:
 Its so nice to have an under standing husband" Then: T bought a cunning toque to match the coat, just the sort of a hat woman who drives her own car needs to make her look smart" She sighed as she finished.
 If it is so pretty, why the sigh? ?' John asked. trying to efface the hurt he had made when he spoke of the coat by making no question of the hat, although he was inwardly quak- ing.
 T was thinking how perfectly love- ly that coat and hat would have been in a new car. Of course it is pretty, anyway. but half my pleasure Is rpoiled because I can't have the car"
 "A car to match a hatI"
 That's just like man! I thought you understood. But you are just like the rest of them."
 Where did you get your vast ex- perience of men? I believe you were twenty when I married you?" John jolxed- He might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, he thought. The coat and hat combined would ef- fectuaIly prevent anything going into the bank that month.
 Perhaps John Aldrich was at fault

in many ways, but he honestly tried to make his wife happy-yet he often felt that he failed to even make her contented. It was changing his whole nature. this striving to satisfy her unsuitable demands.
 When they were married, and for perhaps the first year or two after ward, John AIdrich had great ambi- tions in a business way. But when a mans nose is kept to the grindstone to provide money to meet monthly bills there is little room for ambition to grow. Gradually, without scarce ly realizing it. he had given up one idea after another, and the ideals he had held receded as his spirit as well as his body wearied with the daily grind
 He no longer looked hopefully into the future. He didn't dare specu- late upon what it would bring. His rosy dreams, his air castles-which men as well as women build-had crumbled into thin mist The com mon substantial things of life were too expressing. Instead of becoming the great engineer he had hoped to be, instead of evolving some great engineering idea. accomplishing some marvellous feat, all his attention must be riveted upon how to quickly add a few dollars so that he might meet
 his expenses.
 Have you any family, Aldrich ?''
 a man he met asked him.
 "Only myself and wife" But the question had started a train of thought. John Aldrich when I,o had wanted axnppf cd children. Now he said under his breath as he answered the question:
 Thank God we have no childreni" How would he care for them when | it took all his energy, all his strength, all he could earn to satisfy Marcia, his wife.
 The question recurred to him again that evening He couldn't have ex- plained what made him, but he turned to Marcia and said: Have you ever wished we had a child, Marcia?"
 She fairly gasped with astonish-
 ment.
 Heaven, no! We scarcely get along decently as it is. Whatever
 made you ask such a question:"
 that's all"
 Marcia looked at him keenly. What | Ind get into him? If he had any such foolish notion in his head the
 more quickly he got it out the better l Children, indeed, when he had re- l fused to let her have new car, and it would have cost very little with the old one taken in exchange. To get his mind off the subject she said {: q joined a woman's club today" Another card club?" John asked with a noticeable lack of interest "No! You don't seem to care much | about what I do, if one can judge from your voice.
 Excuse me, Marcia. I am always l interested in what you do. But I am very tired tonight, and well-what
 kind of club is it?" He could not | tell her that the chance question about his family had given birth to 8 l longing that would not down. The | longing for baby hands upon his face baby lips on his. The longing of g man to perpetuate his kind.

COOKING LESSONS The Riqht Way to Make Cake

Cake is divided into two classes, cake with butter and cake without. Aside from this all cake recipes are very much the same. The propor- tions and combinations vary. making a cake light, fluffy, moist. dry, solid or spongy.
 Careful baking is as important as careful mixing. A steady, even heat must be kept. If the oven ba<es too fast on the bottom put pan of water directly under the cake
