1T is always the man who looks

And, after all. this is as IT
should be. Love is pre-eminentiy
a woman's business. And IL Is

For love, even as IL is the source
of life, is life itself.
Old DIR. John Brown used 10
say that the etymologists were all
wrong, because Love is really the
perfect tense Of Live. And surely
to Love is to Live.
In the hands of the woman,
therefore, are the gifts of life. 1t
is she who feeds souls, giving
them their meat in due season.
II is she who is the vicegerent
of God upon earth. For through
her comes that divine fire which
we call inspiration, that fire with
out which no masterpiece was
ever created.
We know that Vittoria Colonna

MAKE QUICK BREAD

into a rectangle one.half inch in
thickness. Flour a biscuit cutter
each time before cutting and ar
range the cut biscuits on a we'll
creased baking pan. Brush over
the top with milk and bake in a
quick oven twelve to fifteen min
utes.
For emergency biscuit enough
milk may be added so that the
mixture will just about drop from
a spoon. The biscuits should be
dropped by the spoonful upon a
creased plate at least two inches
apart. Depending upon the size,
these biscuits will bake in as short
a time as ten minutes. The
emergency biscuit eliminates the
trouble of cutting, and thus saves
time.
The same proportions of dry in
gradients may be used for the muf-
fin mixture. Enough milk to make
a drop batter Is then beaten in
and one to two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter or butter substitute
is beaten In at the end. IL it is
desired to enrich this mixture by
the addition of an egg the beaten
egg is added to about>a half cupful
of milk and then enough more milk
is used to produce a batter that
will drop easily but not run from
the spoon.
Part graham flour or part rye
flour or part bran may be used
instead of all wheat flour.

occasioally finds herself short of
yeast bread. And while a diet of
quick bread is not to be recon-

every woman should know how to
make up a quick bread to help
in an emergency.
Tea biscuit or baking powder
biscuit takes but twelve to fifteen
minutes to bake, while an egg

over twenty minutes. 1t is welt
to commit to memory the stand

Two measuring cupfuls or one
pint of flour, four level teaspoon

Judith called attention to very
fundamental difference in the
sexes; which is, that in love men
are a bit crazy, while women are
never saner.

When men are in love, they do
not know what they are doing.
But a woman never knows quite
so well as when she is IN love.
Her feet are always or the
ground.
Perhaps the reason of this is
that love Is woman's realm. There
she is undisputed monarch. And
there she reigns as to the manner

POstpOning Marriage.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l and my sweetheart are
both twenty-five years or age,
and l have been going about
with him since school days.
Charles, my sweetheart, told me
the other day that his parents
didn't want us to marry until he
was thirty. Now, Miss Fairfax,
don't you think that a person
who Is twenty-five can look out
for himself? He wants to run
away and marry. +.
MO, don't run away and marry.
Try to make your sweet
hearts parents see that you are
sane enough and we'll balanced
enough enough to marry soon and
not be put to the nervous strain
Of waiting five years for the happi-
ness for which you are now pre-
pared. Make them feel that both
you and Charles want a home
together. Win his parents re-
spect and devotion and then they
will have no excuse for asking two
mature young folks who know
each other and their own minds
to wait five years.

Mrs. Ripley Granted
$500 Allowance to
Fight Divorce Suit
Wife Of Former Exchange
Member Accused of Mis-
conduct With G.. w. Hol.
lister, Which Both Deny

Mrs. Elsie B. Ripley, Of 30 East
Sixty-sisth Street, obtained an order
from Justice Guy yesterday directing
Louis A. Ripley, formerly q member Of
the Stock Exchange, to pay his wife
81 500 to enable her to defend suit for
divorce which Ripley has brought.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ripley have been living
apart for several years under a separa-
ton agreement. The husband names
George Whiting Hollister as corcspon-
! dent. The misconduct of Mrs. Ripley
and Hollister, it is alleged, took place
at 63 East Fifty-ninth Street on Octo-
Der last, and at various times and
places since last February. Both the
defendant and correspondent have de-
MED the charges.
Mrs. Ripley became the plaintiff S
second wife in August, 1918, at Dallas,
Tex, while Ripley was in the 121st
Aero Squadron. Ripley had just sold
his seat on the Stock Exchange and
with 200 of the proceeds he bought
Liberty bonds. Mrs. Ripley said her
husband told her he had settled $780,
and their children.

of his cruel treatment Of her and his
misconduct with other women. Ripley
threatened to kill her, attacked her.
smashed furniture in their home and
broke down the door of her room, said
the wife. She has been receiving $500
month under the separation agree
ment. Last February, according to
Mrs. Ripley, her husband tried to com
pei her to return to him, which she
refused to do, fearing, she said, that
he would repeat his acts of brutality
In her application for an allowance
Mrs. Ripley said her husband, who is
clubman of large means, "has never
done any consistent work." but receives
an income of from $4,000 to $4,000 q
year from certain trust funds and from
valuable dock properties in Vancouver.
1t is alleged by the wife that her hus-
band spent large sums of money in en-
ploying detectives to follow her wher-
ever she went. Her mother. said Mrs.
Ripley, is poor and can give her no
financial aid.
Replying to the statements Of his
wife, Ripley said he has evidence which
he deems sufficient to prove his allega-
tions against Mrs. Ripley, and that he
engaged only one detective agency to
obtain it for him.

Two men whose arrest is expected to

raising checks found in apartment
house letter boxes, were arraigned be

checks were found in Dashboard cabi-
net in their rooms, according to the
police who searched the apartment,
and three clerks from a Brooklyn bank
identified one of the pair as the man
who cashed an altered draft for $319.9S
at the institution Friday.
The action of detective in making
inquiries at this bank was last resort
after the two suspects had finally
thrown the agents from the Depart
ment Of Justice, the Police Department
and the Pinkerton service eff their trail
in long chase through the subway.

one OF tne pair vanished IN tna

other in B. r. T. station on the
Fourth Avenue line near Greenwood
Cemetery. The one detective who had
kept the trail to that point went to tho
nearest bank, the Bush Terminal
Branch of the Bank Of America, and
made inquiries.
What he learned there gave the
police the evidence Of the suspects
guilt that they had been seeking. The
clerks at the financial institution told
the agent that man answering the
check for s3l3.9S, signed by and

them as soon as possible. An hour
later both men were taken into custody
