At CupidS Call
BY MAY CHRISTIE

'GetSon your things and hurry"
Julian. Soo. looked pleased, shall I
come with you, dear?'
"NO, That would ruin everything :,
He cant stand you, Julian ~ cried his
young bride.
Twenty minutes later she stood in the
inner Office of her guardian. Bellairs'
face was quite inscrutable.
And so you've gone and done II '"
he remarked. well. there's no good
arguing out the matter now. You've
made your bed. and you've got to lie
on il, | suppose !"
This opening was not hopeful. Eve
sat down.
'Iou've got about five thousand dol
lars on hand" he went on. For I
take it you'v no intention of paying
back the money that young Calardin
went security on? No. don't contra
dict me. Eve. You always were un-
trustworthy, and always will be to the
end 80
Here he drew out his check book,
| lifted a pen and cast a meditative eye
on Eve.
Strange to say, I'm going to do the
decent thing by you! Yes, I'm going to
present-althOugh you don't deserve it
But IN only write it on conditions
Yes? What are they" inquired
Eve. hugely pleased and quite deter
mined to agree TO any conditions what
soever, if she only got the money.
Firstly said her guardian. you re
to agree never again TO ask a penny
from me. Secondly, you're to- keep
y0ur precious Julian out Of this coun-
try. And, thirdly, when he throws you
over-as eventually ne will do, Of
course-You re not to come whining
hack to me for help"
Although considerably tsken aback,
Eve lsSented Her greedy eyes were
fixed on Bellairs as he wrote out tho
check.
Take a taxi straight back to your
! husband. and let the two Of you open
this together" He put the check in
an envelope and scaled it.
Hell &c waiting fer YOU on the
tiptoe of expectancy" Bellairs' laugh
was not pleasant.
All tuned up to a glad expectancy,
then. the girl departed. She even
managed to suppress her namesake md
progenitOr's besetting sin, too-for she
did not open the envelope until Julian
was by her side.
"I'm sure that Darlington has done
the thing handsomely this time Eve's
face was flushed as she drew out the
check. Maybe it's for fifty thou

Her husband snatched the paper

angry laughter.

You Are Too Extreme

Dear Cynthia-I note two letters to-

woman, and as ! have had some expe-
rlence and done some observing | want
to donate my opinion to fellow sufferers.
The modern damsel in fixing herself
up. always tries TO please her own vanity
ard never does IL to please others. 1t
matters not whether we have an evil
conception or a common sense one, the
face still stands that a pair of legs are
not as attractive as q sweet. clear coun-
tenance, nor will they have as good
moral effect on the male observer. /
arguments in favor Of the modern way
OF developing beauty. No wonder the
young males are inclined TO be disre-
spectful--a goodly majority OF them ac-
oording TO observations I've made from
the corner Of my eye. For. coupled with
the expressiOnless face is a reactionary
independence based on n subconscious
knowledge Of ultimate futility Love
of money and reactionary independence
are against the doctrine OF Christianity,
and so are paint and powder and waving
the hair. See the fifth chapter Of Ephe-
slams. I don't believe I've seen more

JOHN T. B.
A certain amount of powder Is almost

Through a
Woman's S Eyes
The Woman Still PAYS
BY JEAN NEWTON

The pastor Of n church in New Jer-
tey deserted his wife and children and
ran away with young girl. When
they. returned, as they inevitably do,
the pastor was forgiven by his wife
and family to whom he returned, and
was reinstated ms shepherd Of his flock !.
The girl was thrown out Of the church
also her old parents.
Now the treasurer of another church
in the same State has done the same
thing only he complicated matters
slightly by taking with him the church
funds.
This couple, too. have come back.
The former church dignitary is being
permitted to make restitution for the
money he stole, and his pastor has
already called upon him with overtures
from the wife and family who are wait: ::
ing to take him back.
And what is going to happen to this
girl? Well, they cant throw her out
Of the same church where they are
reinstatng the partner Of her brief joys,
because she came from the next town.
But she has already been forced to leave
the town where she was awaiting the
outcome of his trial for theft and ten
to one she will be driven out of her
own church, and probably her own
town, too.
Much has been written and sung
about "the woman pays" But in this
day of enlightenment and presumed sin =
gle standards. we would not have be :
lieved it possible In n supposedly civil
lied community that the man would 20
so free of censure while the girl Is

in the second instance within few
months.
| We hold no brief for the girl who
breaks up home. Neither are we dis
cussing the pros and cons Of punish :
ment versus the "second chance" But
the point is that the men. older and with
much greater responsibility, who shared
equally in the offensr. were invited back
and handled with kid gloves while the
girls found the world drawing away it's
skirts. And while there may be. let US
hope that there Is, more sanity and
justice in other communities throughout
the country, one thing is certain. And
that Is that the world has changed very
little in this regard since the original
Magdalene-the woman does pay.
And it behooves every girl. even il
she is not inspired by conscience OF
ideals. to shun the path Of iniouity, Il
do It as matter Of self preservation

Mrs. Wilson Thinks Canning a Science
That Every Housewife Should Maste,
Simple Directions for Putting Up Seasonable Vegetables-
Berries Are Shrunk More Can Be Placed in One Jar
Photo by Central News.

Remove and seal securely and then store
in n dry, cool place.
Raspberries, blackberries and other
berries and Other fruits may be pre-
pared in the same way. This method
of shrinking the fruit permits placing
more berries in n jar.
Peaches
Early Crawfords will shortly come
into the market and both the white and
yellow peaches are splendid canned.
Unless you have large family you will
find the wide mouthcd pint jar the best
size to use. Use only firm and just q
little underripe fruit. They may be
purchased the day before and spread
out on the cellar floor, SO that you can
begin work early. Use sharp knife
and try this way.
Run the knife around the peach, cut :
ting it in half, clear to the stone. Now
grasp the peach with both hands and
turn the left hand to you and then the
right hand from you. This will split
the peach in half without mashing it.
Remove the stone and pare and drop
each pared peach in a bowl of cold
water until you have sufficient pre-
pared to fill the required number OF
jars that will fill the hot water bath.
Pack the peaches into the jars and fill
prepared sirup and adjust the rubber
and lids and partially seal Process
In hot water bath for thirty five min =
utes, remove pnd seal, then store.
Peaches need rich sirup to bring
out their full flavor, and as the sugar
is reasonably priced you can use this
degree of sirup without increasing the
cost very much.
Sirup for Covering Peaches
Three cups of sugar,
One cup of boiling oatcr.
Bring to boil and cook for three
minutes. 1t Is then ready to use.
Cooking pears will soon be ready for
the home Gamer and as the fruit crop
is short this season I advise you to fiil
few jars of pears.
Many housewives often say that pears
are insipid when canned, but then just
try this recipe. Cut the fruit in half
core and pare and drop at once into q
bowl containing two quarts of cold
water and one quarter cup of vinegar
cOloring. Now place the fruit in n
preserving kettle and cover with colo
water. Cook slowly without stirring
to make the fruit partly tender. While
the fruit is cooking, place In another
saucepan
One cup of toater,
Three cups of sugar,
One small bottle OF maraschint
cherries.
Use the sirup and cut the cherries
into bits.
TIco ounces of cryStallised ginger
cut in pieces,
One dozen clOres.
Bring to boil and cook for ten min
utes and then lift the penrs into tn,
jar and pack very closely together
Cover with prepared sirup and adjus
the rubber and lid and. then PARTIAL,
seal. Place in the hot water bath ant
process for forty minutes. Remove ant
seal securely and then store in cool
dry place.

The girl in question has great deal

She wears the fashionable short

Sea going Ia the only word that ex
presses it. She rolls, just as a sailor
rolls. with q rollicking movement that
tokes away all the style Of her dress.
all the dignity Of her appearance, and
makes her just joke.
A FAMOUS dancer, who walks as
n gracefully as panther. has noticed
this defect in many girls who go in for
short skirts.
"They will never acquire grace" she
declares. "They do not want it be.

They DO want Il; every girl longs to
