Colin.
NY anger melted. Colin always
had that affect on me. He was so
gentle. so forbearing, SO eternally
sympathetic. l looked at him again.
He was hunched up as usual, his
shoulders so round as to make him
seem deformed. His thick red hair,
rather an ugly red. made his large
head so much larger that it was al!
out of proportion. His face was
homely. his skin blotched with freck-
les and sallow from a life indoors.
His hands. thin, sensitive artistic
though they were, were also too large
for him and only added to the grotes-
que effect.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Canned cherries have many posi-
bilities for winter use. They are
delicious with cake. Canned cherry
pie is always acceptable after a fish
dinner, and canned cherries make
almost as good puddings as the fresh
fruit. Carefully drained from the
juice canned cherries can be used
in salad.
Cherries may be canned with or
without sugar, but with sugar at
normal again there is no special
point in canning without and the
fruit is really better If put up in
sirup.
Canned Cherries
Cold pack method: Wash cher
ries, stem and stone. Save the
juice. Pack fruit in Jars to within
one-half inch Of the top. Pour over
a medium thin strip. half seal and
boil 16 minutes in sterilizer. Fin
ish sealing and cool. To make the
strip use one-third the weight of
the fruit in sugar and az cups of
water to each pound Of sugar. The
water in the sterilizer must cover
the jars one or two inches. The
water should be boiling when the
jars are put in. and the boiling
started as Dor as possible SO hat
cooking begins at once.
Open kettle method: Wash, stem
and stone cherries. Save juice.
Can one quart of fruit at a time.
For every quart of fruit S y cup
sugar. If cherries r very sour the
amount of sugar will need to be in
creased. Put " cup of juice and
water and the sugar in preserving
kettle. Bring to a boiling point and
add cherries. Let boil 10 minutes.
Fill sterilized cans full to overflow
ind with boiling fruit and juice and
seal. The fruit must be boiling
and the cans must be absolutely
full. If the can is wrapper in a
towel wrung out of hot water there
is no danger of breaking the glass
when the boiling mass is put In.
Sunshine Cherry Preserves
Use pound for pound of fruit and
sugar. Weigh the cherries after
stoning. Pour the juice, cherries
and sugar in preserving kettle. Let
stand an hour. Put owe a slow fire
and bring to the boiling point. Let
boil up well for two or three min
utes. Pour out on platters and let
stand IN the sun for two days. Cover
platters with mosquito netting. Put
in sterilized jelly glasses and seal
with parafin.

Editorials For
Women Folks
A thousand dollars alimony!

A thousand dollars alimony!
Peggy cashed the check and then
wadded the bills in her fancy bead
bag.
Peggy was young and still pretty
enough SO that the girls, when they
gathered in their rooms, speculated
about the trips to New York which
were brought up during the trial.
OF course they didn't really be-
lieve-but their unfinished sentences
were frought with meaning.
And Peggy. proud, defiant little
Peggy, who knew what they were
saying, curled her lips in a scornful
little smile, tossed her head topped
with its f1ippant little black hat and
talked-almost gayly-about San
Francisco n a nan out there.
He was such a peach of a man!
OF course he vas going with a girl
Peggy knew, but he didn't seem to
be very crazy about her. And Peggy
had known him before her marriage
and-well, she left perfectly sure
that he'd be glad of her return, glad
to see her sporting the gay roses on
her hat, the glad smile on her lips,
glad to hear the saucy lifting of her
voice.
Alone.
The more Peggy talked about it
the Drawer she was. She even VEN
tured a SLY shot or two at the trips
to New York-she had had her fun,
could any n suppose that just be-
cause she was married she was go
ing to settle down to being a dull
little thing!
Not Peggy!
And so she started West, with her
smile, her saucy rose-trimmed hat
ana her thousand dollars, but
alone. There wasn't even a girl
friend there waving goodby rs the
train started out into the darkness.
That didn't mater. Peggy hadn't
wanted them anyhow. She knew
that at the end of her journey there
would be the old friends and the
peach Of a nan
But when Peggy's train pulled
into the western station there
wasn't any n there whom she
knew. The old friends whom she
met up town-yes they remembered
Peggy, but there was something
wrong. They weren't even curious.
And the peach of a mamie never
seemed to be more than vaguely
aware that Peggy was about.
So Peggy was alone. She found
that even men do not select the
girls they want as friends from
among those who smile at uncom-
plimentary rumors about them
selves.

HOROSCOPE
July 8, 1921
The stars inclin bu. DO not compel,
Copyright, 1921, by the Mcclure

Copyright. 1921, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
This is a rule under which to be
exceedingly cautious, according TO
astrology, for sinister stars hold
sway, Uranus, Mars, Venus and the
Sun are all in malefic aspect. Late
in the evening Jupiter gains kindly
power.
1t is a day in which to make the
most of certainties, avoiding all
risks.
The mind is likely to be easily
disturbed. Irritability will be ex-'
ceedingly dangerous for it will lead
to quarrels that are not easily for
gotten.
Uranus is in a place supposed to
distort the point of view so that the
saner vision is clouded and for that
reason patience and ~self-control
should be exercised.
Excessive heat may aggravate all
the natural tendencies to be rest
less and ill-tempered during this
sinister rule and danger turks in
any loss of calmness or poise.
The evening should be fairly IA
vorable for interviews with promi-
nent men or entertainments in their
honor.
Uranus in the fifth afflicted Is not
good for the younger generation
and children may suffer from dis
eases of the digestion.
Congressional action that will
greatly benefit railways is again
prognosticated.
There is a sign read as forecast
ing hasty and unexpected action on
the part of deliberative bodies, such
as conventions or the houses of
congress.
Uranus is believed to presage
much scandal and evil report re-
garding men and ome in political
life. Women especially may be af-
fected by this evil planetary sway.
The position of Jupiter and Sat-
urn in the eleventh hours indicates
that labor questions will occupy
much attention in the coming
months.
The rush today seems to presage
strikes and even riots while there
MAY be many disappointments in eff
forts to secure agreements between
labor and capital.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should be particularly careful of
letters and writings. Domestic af-
fairs should be wisely directed at
this time. Girls will receive offers
of marriage.
Children born on this day will be
energetic, enterprising and success
full in all probability. These subjects
of Cancer may be temperamental
as the Moon Is their principal ruler.

Irregular Habits
My boy is nine years old. He
seems to be delicate in a way. He
doesn't eat enough. He goes to
school with a cup of coffe and a bite
Of bread, which is taken in a hurry.
Dinner and supper he is the same
way, AZ time he is a little better
in eating, but not much. He can
eat more candy than anything else,
and he likes fruit. He plays out
side a good bit. His teeth seem to
give him considerable trouble.
/ think your boys trouble now is
