FOUR DANCING feet
BY JANE PHELPS.

! Of them to make her look better
more stylish!
II only wish had her chances"
she said, although l don't do so
bad myself"
PENNIES teacher had become
intensely interested in the Cum
mlng's family. Jennie was bright
pupil, and ever since she had
brought Gertie to see her; to ask
her advice, she had wanted to
help the pretty dancing girl who
seemed to be the main support
Of the family. Z
| She had visited them in their
| poor, but spotlessly clean rooms;
she seen the sort of woman Mrs.
Cummings was-good, honest, but
I ignorant. She had talked with her
of Gertie, and went away filled
with admiration for the girl who
could struggle against such odds.
| 1--WE had to cheat about Ger
ties age. We had to-" Mrs. Cum
mings had told her. "There warn't
any other way. That's why she's SO
set on Jennie's stayin' in school.
She won't hear to nothing but
she must be a teacher like you"
The teacher asked about Ger
ties associates. Here she had
struck q chord in the mother
that was always quivering; al
ways fearing.
"Gertie is good girl-don't
take up with any wild fellows,
but she is young and pretty. Some
times 1 can't sleep with worrying
about her. She amt hard like
her chum, Lilry. Lilly can take
care of herself. She thinks of
nothing but what she gets out
of the fellows. But my Gertie is
different. She's soft. Gertie is

Rosenburg's. That Mr.. Jones, he's
the manager, is after her all the
time and she has to put up with
it. Girls has to put up with LOT
in places like that, Miss"
Jones had renewed his unwel-
come attentions, and it was one
reason Gertie had been friendly
with Len O'Connor. He would
keep the manager away. That
her friendship might mean any
thing to O'Connor, more than she
intended, Gertie did not think
Indeed she did not think of him
at all save as means of keeping
Jones at a distance.
But O'Connor held other views

SLIM ANKLES,

SLIM ANKLES.
The more l travel the more I
think that the American girl has
the most beautiful ankles in the
world. She usually possess slim
feet which taper delicately to a
slender but sturdy ankle. With the
short skirts we have been wearing
lately there is a glimpse also of an
attractive curve towards the calf of
the leg. Lately, of course. there
has been more than a glimpse. but
that is temporary vagary of fash
ion!
one reason why the American
girl has nice feet and ankles is that
she usually takes such good care of
them. She buys good shoes and she
is able to get an excellent quality of
shoe for n comparatively small
sum. Even with soaring prices
since the war we still make the
best quality ready-made shoes for
the smallest amount of money.
A foot that is well shod will keep
its attractive shape. l know that
scold a great deal about cheap
fancy shoes which throw the foot
out OF proportion by their high
heels and crowd the toes with their
pointed length. These shoes, OF

Then one day the postman left

Carefully she hunted through
them leaf by leaf to see If there

must have written to the publish

could write them for books, why

O'Connor urged her to sit down
and be sociable, she joined the
crowd at his table. She was
young. She would not let Tom
Norris spoil her life. She'd have
fun, too, like Lilly and the other
girls.
Now Len O'Connor was no bet
ter, no worse, than many other
young men who haunt the chear
cafes at night : He had watched
Gertie for months, and had ar.

wanted her for his girl. But she

COOKIES AND STEWED FRUIT
FOR DESSERT.


In summer time, when fruits are
so abundant, the wise housekeeper
serves them frequently. Stewed
fruit and cookies make about the
best hot-weather dessert one can
have on the table. The following
dinner menu illustrates this point:
Baked Fish Chops
Boiled Potatoes
Dreamed Peas
Coffee Pineapple Dainty
English Ginger Snaps
Baked Fish Chops: This is made
with cold, cooked fish left-overs
of any kinds of fish. Remove
bones and skin and, flake the flesh
finely. There should be two and
one-half cups Of it. Make a sauce
by melting three tablespoons of
butter in a small saucepan and
stirring into this gradually six Ia
teaspoons of flour and one cup of
hot sweet milk or cream. When this
sauce is boiling, add one-half cup
of hot water, one tablespoon lemon
Juice, one-half teaspoon onion
juice, one teaspoon salt, a dash of
pepper, three drops of tobasco
sauce, one teaspoon minced parsley
(if you have iD, one half teaspoon
of either Worcestershire sauce or
tomato catsup, and the flaked fish.
Set in a cool place to harden.
When cold cut into utlet-shape
and roll each outlet in fine bread
crumbs which have been moist
ened with a little melted butter
Place the crumbed outlets in
creased dripping pan and bake in
O. hot oven till brown. Serve with
the following:
Egg Sauce for Fish Outlets: Melt
two tablespoons of butter, stir into
It three tablespoons of flour, one
fourth teaspoon salt, a dash Of
black pepper, one teaspoon of
lemon juice and one and one-half
cups of hot water; let boil up once,
then add two teaspoons of capers,
two sliced hard-boiled eggs. and
one teaspoon chopped parsley, and
turn, very hot, over the fish cut
let's.
! Pineapple Dainty: Put a round
slice of pineapple in each of three
dessert dishes and cover each
round with flaked pineapple (flake
| it with a fork). Now make a strip
by boiling together, for five min
utes. one-half cup of pineapple,
juice, the juice Of one orange, one

members OF their profession and
their ladies who arrived here on

tai specially. so the visitors
were taken to the Barelas
bridge to see the Rio Grande,
as web as to all the places of

the habit of administering gas,
so we are told, so the local

gave their brethren a liberal
