never saw bride marching up the
church aisle in all her filmy hncry,
with her face glorihed with that look Of
love, and rapture, and romance, with
that look Of one whose dreams have all
come true, that woman never wears
but once In lifetime, without wanting
to take her aside as soon as the cere-
mony is over and say TO her:
Dear little girl you have como to
the parting Of the ways. You are be-
ginning real life today. Up TO now you
have had nothing on your mind but your
hair. You have had no responsibilities.
Your parents have directed your des-
tiny, but today you take your fate in
your own hands. Hcnccforth, you must
play the game of your own hat, and
whether you win or lose, whether you
are happy or miserable, depends upon
your own skill, and pep, and courage,
and craftsmanship.
| know that when brides start out on
their honeymoon they carry excess bag
gage in the way OF sdvice. Nevertheless,
! cannot refrain from adding few
words of counsel, and my first tip is this:
STUDY YOUR MAN. Bring every
particle of intelligence that you possess,
every bit Of woman's wit, and intuition,
TO trying to ferret out the kinks and
quirks of the disposition Of the husband
you have just acquired. You smile at
this advice for YOU are perfectly sure
that your John is An open book TO you,
and that you understand hun as not
even his mother does.
| That is where you are mistaken, my
dear. Marriage changes a man as
completely as if he had changed the
color OF his eyes and his skin. He is nc
more the same man to his wife than he i!
to the business world, to his family anc
friends, than If he was different person

course, every bride, believes that she ha
married a combination Of Si- Gslahad
and a moving picture hero, and Solo

Therefore, she expects him TO always b

A CHAT ON JELLY MAKING.

Jelly-making time has come again
The housekcepcr who loves her work
will welcome il.
"Pectin" is the essential jelly-making
substance found in fruits. A conblna,,
ton Of pectin, fruit juices, acid ana
sugar, in the correct proportions, is
necessary in order to make a good Jelly.
II has been found that pectin IS more
abundant in under-ripc fruit than IN
that which is fully ripe. The best fruits
for jelly-making are apples, currants,
gooseberes, grapes and oranges. Some
fruits rich in pectin do not contain
acid and will not, therefore, make Jelly
unless acid is added (the ounce and
guava are examples of this truth.
The fruits that do not contain enough
pcctin to make Jelly by themselves, are
cherries, rhubarb, peaches, plneapplles,
Strawberries, and sometimes raspberrles.
These fruits must have pcctin added to
them in some way. One good way is
Ia combine them with the juice OF one
OF those fruits which ARE rich in pectini
and mother way, is 10 make your own
prepared pectin from the thick, white
under-skr OF oranges, and add this TO
tho non-pcctin fruits.

OF tho skin which lies under the yellow
rind, is used Shave this off ard when

To Use Home Prepared Pcctin: Al
fruits Of various degrees Of ripenes'
contain different amounts Of pectin, M
definite rules can be laid down regard
ing how much Of this home-prepareC
pcctin to add to the so-called non
pectn" fruit juices. But you can finC
out how much to add, by experimenting
with very little juice before attempt

I that your eyes arc like violets drenched
in dew, and that there ia nothing else on
earth so beautiful ns the way your hair
curls on the nspc Of your neck. After
marriage, man has got to get
down to the real business of life,
which is making a living for his family,
and he hasn't time for romantic rhap-
sodies
Remember that heefsteak is just
a. much q token Of affection as bunch
of violets, and that a man proves his
love better by his deeds than by his
words. Men who are strongest on love
talk are generally weakest on per
Torrance, and most OF the wives OF the
Sentimental Tommies take in boarders
to support them
Ny third tip is BE REASONABLE.
Don't treat a grown man as if he were
an idiot child. Accord him the night
10 have tastes and opinions Of his own.
Don't make him cat what you like and
wear the clothes you prefer. Grant him
the privilege Of having ideas Of his own.
Don't require him to punch the home
time clock as if he were domestic
slave. Don't feel yourself ill-uscd if be
isn't dancing attendance on you every
minute that he isn't at work. Nothing
makes a man 80 sorry he married as to
find out that matrimony has deprived
him of every particle Of freedom, and
that his wife is his jailer.
My next tip is PLAY THE GAME.
Unless you are an imbecilc, you settled
certain questions before marriage. You
found out exactly how much money
your husband made, and you, therefore,
knew in just what style you could live,
If you married poor man, struggling
TO get start in the world, you knew that
you would have TO economic, and work
and save, and, that being the case, you
are 3 welcher unless you cheerfully
comply with the conditions. You have
no right to cry, and whine, and COM

My final tip is FORGET YOUR
e SELF. Don't be forever thinking wha
! your husband owes 10 YOU Think O
!, what you owe to him. Don't worr
q about whether he pays you all the littl
G attention that are your due, WORT

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

During the first six months Of the
year the guerrilla warfare between the
British forces In Ireland and the Irish
republicans continued unabated.
Murders by the Slim Feiners and re-
prisals by the British were of almost
daily occurrence. The Irish were espe-
cially exasperated by the execution Of
number of prisoners convicted Of
completely In the killing of soldiers.
The appointment Of Lord Talbot, lead
Ing British Roman Catholic, as lord
lieutenant Of Ireland, failed Of It's eff

burned the Dublin custom house, and
on June 80 they reelected Eamonn de
Valera president of the "Irish repub-

northern Ireland was organized, with
Sir James Craig as PREMIER and on
June % King George went across to
open the Ulster parliament. De Valera
on July . accepted the invitation of
Premier Lloyd George to conference
In London, and truce was announced.
Then began the series Of negotiations
that lasted through the remainder Of
the year. Offers and counter-offers
were made, and finally Britain prof

The United States Supreme court

January 81 II held that Judge Landis
had no lawful right or power TO pre-
side over the trial of Victor Berger and
other Socialists. On March % Ii ruled
that profits from sale of corporate
stocks and bonds and capital assets
are taxable as income. On April IL it

tices act was set aside on May 2, the
act being held void On June 80 Will
liam Howard Taft was appointed chief
justice and was sworn in on October 3.
The unemployment situation be-
came so bad during the summer that
President Harding called a conference
of experts on the subject. 1t began its
sessions on September 20 and, after a
long study, established a central bu-
reau and started local employment
movements throughout the country.
The resulting relief was but partial,
for business itself was suffering a gen.
eral depression.
One of the worst race riots In the
history Of the country broke out In
Tulsa. Okla, on May 81. Before it
was quelled the negro quarter of the
city had been burned and 35 persons
had been killed and many wounded.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though
Of the United States, accomplished
much during the year, chiefly through
its council, which met in Paris on
February q and Immediately referred
proposed amendments to the covenant
to committee. President Wilson,
who during January had withdrawn
the American representatives from the
council of ambassadors and the repa-
rations commission, on February %
sent to the league council strong
protest against the inclusion Of the
island Of zap in territories subjected
to the mandate Of Japan, and also
formally demanded for America q
voice In the disposal Of the former
German colonies. The council In re-
ply said 1t was not concerned with
the ALLEGATION of zap to Japan and
invited the United States to take part
in discussions concerning the Turkish
and African mandates. A month after
the Republican administration took
office Secretary Of State Hughes reit-
Grated Mr.. Wilson's stand concerning
Zap and mandates In general, and
later France and Italy indorsed Amer
ica's position In the controversy over
the island, though Japan formally re-
fused to give up her mandate. There
after that dispute was the subject of
long drawn-out negotiations between
the United States and Japan which
led to a treaty by which the United
States was assured equal rights In
Yap and other Islands inundated to
japan.
The council Of ambassadors In Janu-
ary gave Germany more time to dis
arm, appointed q commission to pass
on Austria's economic status, decided
that Latvia and Esthonia should be
recognized as sovereign states, and
then fixed the German reparations at
226. .0O0, ,000, 900 gold marks, payable in
annual installments, and II per cent
tax on exports during the period of
payment. This reparations decision

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

During the early part of the year
the country was preparing for the
change of administration on March 4.
President-elect Harding resigned as
senator from Ohio on January 9, and
the next day he asked that prepara-
tions for an elaborate Inauguration be
cancelled, feeling that II would be In
consistent with the urgent need for
economy. On February 10 Mr.. Har-
ding announced the appointment Of
Charles K. Hughes as his secretary Of
state-a choice that met with general
approval-and on succeeding days he
completed his cabinet with these
names: Secretary Of the treasury, An
drew w. Mellon; secretary of war,
John w. Weeks; attorney general,
Harry NJ. Daugherty; postmaster gen.
eral. Will II. Hays; secretary of the
navy. Edwin DENLY; secretary of the
interior, Albert B. Fall; secretary of
agriculture, Henry G. Wallace; secre-
tary Of commerce, Herbert @. Hoover;
secretary Of labor, James J. Davis. Mr..
Harding was inaugurated on March 4
with simple. dignified ceremony, and
President Wilson, despite his contln-
ued illness, was able to be present.
The senate, IN extra session, confirmed
the cabinet and number Of other ap-
pointments, and adjourned on March
Is.
On the first day of the year General
Crowder was sent by President Will
