CONFESSIONS Or A
HUSBAND!
The Mans Side OF Married Life
1 Obtain a Reprieve

For the first time in my life I
found myself in a position where l
could not pay bills as they became
due. Boobies illness had been very
expensive. 1t had more than eaten
up our small savings.
The druggists latest bill vas be-
fore us today. If L paid it 1 would
not be able to pay the rent If l
paid the rent l would have to put
off the druggist-and probably the
butcher and the grocer as well.
Rather than make trouble for Dot
in our neighborhood l decided to try
what a visit to the real estate firm
could accomplish.
1 snatched a bite of lunch at noon
and hurried to the firms Offices. l
was received by a person whose
name sounded like TOUGHER or some
| thing of the sort. His manner was
cordial, but when l mentioned the
! purpose of the visit his faceeclouded.
my rent won't be due for three
more days" / explained, but I want
to inform you in advance that it will
be a little late this month.
Il have been a pretty good tenant
for over two years, as your records
will show, but during the past month
my child has been sick and / have
been under unusually heavy ex-
penseS."
"That's very unfortunate" The
other seemed to reflect upon the sit
uation, then added: "Of course, you
know, Mr.. Howard, that we can get
at least $40 more a month for your
apartment than o r paying. I
am just mentioning that"
But you raised the rent rs per
e in October" 1 protested. THAT
was as much as the law permitted"
THAT isn't quite to the point" he
returned. 1.-THE fact is that you are
getting an extremely desirable apart
ment at a very low rental-such an
apartment as we have hundreds of
applications for each day.
I'VE are under a very definite
obligation to our principals in this
matter; we are compelled to get a
fair return from the property for
them.
Under the circumstances there is
little that / can do. However. you
have been a tenant for two years.
and I think 7 can promise that we
will wait until the fifteenth of the
month before we take any steps"
That vas all there was to the in
terview. 1t hadn't accomplished
much. Now I was faced by the
dreary necessity of persuading the
druggist and the other storekeepers
to accept part payments on their
bills so that I could keep enough
money on hand to be able to meet
the rent by the fifteenth.
But what would happen next
month? My ~"valuables' consisted
| of a watch worth about $40 and of a
few scarfpins worth nothing at all.
OF course, Dot still had the ring
that I had given her when we be-
came engaged, but I wasn't ready to
admit that things were so bad !
would have to pawn that.
There was also the possibility of
swallowing my pride and applying to
my father-in-law for a loan, but I
vas ready to go through a great deal
before I came to that.

The skin is one Of the principal
organs of excretion.
The kidneys and the liver, the
lungs and the skin, all play a part
in getting these wastes out of the
system. In the case of the kin
there are millions of little pockets
called the sweat glands which have
this work to do. for the sweat is a
watery extract Of the waste products
Of the body.
Clothing should be warm enough
to protect the body from undue chill
but il it Is too warm it makes n
dull and sleepy and weakens the
machinery for tempature regulation
in the skin. People who bundle up
too warmly catch cold more often
than those who dress too lightly. al
though the body must always be
protected from sudden chills and
cold to which 1t Is unaccustomed.
Bathing is necessary. first of all
to remove dirt from outside and to
wash off the waste materials de-
posted on the skin by the evapora-
ton of the sweat. 1t has also an
important influence upon the heat
regulating machinery of the skin.
Warm baths increase the size of
the blood vessels in the skin and
draw the blood away from the brain.
making one feel comfortably sleepy.
A cold bath or the other hand,
contracts the skin blood vessels and
drives the blood to the brain and
makes feet alert and keen. Cold
bathing Is a powerful tonic to the
skin, since it trains the blood YES
sells to respond quickly to changes
in temperature. People who take
cold baths regularly are likely to be
harder and much less subject to
colds than Others. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that some peo-
pie do not bear cold baths we'll.
In the matter of bathing, as in
that of clothing, we must remember
that the body should be stimulated
by cold, but not chilled too much.
A cold bath should be followed py a
reaction. the blood vessels of the
skin %enlarging again and the skin
becoming warm and glowing.
Brisk rubbing with a rough towel
helps to secure this reaction. If no
reaction follows. the bath is too cold
or too prolonged or the physical
condition is such that cold baths are
inadvisable.

Kitchen Hints

Unless a salad dressing is perfect
ly smooth it is not as good as II
might be. Many cooked dressings

duce as smooth a cooked dressing as

spoons flour, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1
teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons sugar.
s tablespoons vinegar-4 tablespoons
water. II teaspoon pepper. 2 egg

tard. sugar. salt and pepper and stir

gar and water and cook over a slow
fire. stirring constantly till thick

add yolks of eggs unbeaten. Mix
thoroughly. If the vinegar is not
very sour the juice of one lemon
may be needed. Add at this time.
Whip ream till stiff and add first

The Art of Small Talk

The man who Is a failure at small talk
never quite hears what the girl he is
talking to has to say. He is trying to
think what ne is going to say next, SO OF
course he cannot fail to misunderstood
what the girl he is talking to says. He
is needless. distracted, worried and has
a way Of listening to the conversation Of
others rather than to those at hand.
The girl whom men regard as a good
talker Is always ready with a laugh and
the girl who laughs well Is always popu-
lar. One can excuse the girl who gig
giles il she giggles in a way that makes
others merry and seems to tell those
with whom she talks that they are en-
tertaining her immensely, that their
stories are deticiously funny-though
they may be very stupid-and that on
her companions enormously.

Sir Auckland had been called from
McGill to London, first to take up arms
with the Highland Regiment, the North
umbtia Iancers. of which he is brigadier
general by brevet,- then to be minister
Of recruiting, and, finally to take the
entire burden Of the local governing
board Of Londep. From 1880. after
being raised to the peerage. he was sent
back to Montreal in bissold status.
Cnlike all other cfratelaines Of the
British embassy, Lady Geddes had acted
as hostess in no diplomatic establish
ment, though since 1914 she had passed
through experiences trying and varied
enough to prepare her for any honor.
In 1915 Sir Auckland stood for the
Basingstoke and Andover division of
Hants, and won considerable recogni-
ton in the commons. When he was
making his memorable and victorious
struggle for the government against the
postwar profiteers. Lady Geddes pre-
in London and won her lauTels in the
larger sense. Though it is Sopular TO
say that this charming woman is an
American. she is so only in the accident
Of having been born In Staten Island,
the daughter Of Mr. William A. Ross,

ever, some years after. returned to New
York and became naturalized. and Lady

waters in the Empire state. She was
Miss Isabella Gamble Ross. Through
the CANDLES. her mothers people, she
has many relatives IN the nobility OF
England and Scotland. while the Rosses
have been prominent In Ireland for ceR-
turtles. She met Sir Auckland, then DR..
Geddes Of McGill University. while he
was returning from a visit to his cid
home in EdiffSurgh, and she, a passen-
ger on the same ship, was coming to
New York after passing the summer
In Ireland. The marriage took place
within few months Of that first meet
ing. and the young couple took up quar-.
ters quite modestly on the campus Of
McGill. They passed all their vacations
from that event in 1906 until the war
cloud broke over in Europe in 1914 in
the group OF Lady Geddes' kindred, who
have homes in Staten and Long Island
There are five children, ranging from
the son and heir. born Q year after the
marriage, and who is named Ross
Campbell Geddes. to a fine boy less than
four, David Campbell Geddes. who.
with a brother two years older. John
Reay Campbell Geddes. enjoys the dis
tinction Of being a war baby. There is
