dure that woman should surpass him,

He is still strong for the sturdy oak and

Il think that the greatest attraction
that any woman can have is for her TO be
what Spaniards call sympatica. Irhat
is the harm of charms, the spell that
works on everything masculine between
the cradle and thc1 grave.
A man likes n woman who can enter
into all of his interests with him, who
can listen unweariedly while he talks
about himself by the hour; who can
appear madly entertained by every de
tail of the grocery trade, orIwhat he said
to the boss and the boss said TO him;
woman who hangs on his lips as he

MAKING YOUR OWN SOAP.

! have received several letters from
my Column Readers quiz,ing me on
sonp-making. The thrifty housekeeper
saves oil her beef suct, mutton tallow
and pork fat until she has about n
quart of it, then she chops it coarsely
and tries it out"--tbat ia, mclts it
in pan in the oven Or in the top Of
her double boiler. She then strains
this melted grease through n piece Of
cbecseclotb laid in wire strainer,
pressing the scraps with q spoon 60 OK.
trnct all the fat possible To the liquid
she adds twice Us bulk Of warm water
and tablespoon Of salt, and puts this
over the fire. When il has boiled for
FIVE minutes, she lets il stand in cool
place till cod. There will be sol d
cake floating on the surface, and this
IL now carefully removed, wiped dry
and stored in cool place till there is
enough more tried out fat TO add 20
this and make soap.
Five pounds Of fat is a good amount
to collect before making your soap.
The formula on the can of most brands
of concentrated lye calls for six pounds
Of fat to a can Of lye, but many house
keepers declare that they obtain more
satisfactory results from combining five
pounds Of fat to n can Of the lyc.
The first step is TO turn the contents
of one can Of concentrated lye into an
old pot mot an aluminium one) and
add ! quart of warm water; the lye
will become quite hot and should be
allowed to cool before the fat is added
TO il.

The physician shook his head.
"She has not been in a co ndition to talk

you Were Across?"
81 thought not" Dicky replied. 'In
fact, she WAS SO mnerved that she had
hard work telling me. She came into
town this morning on shopping trip,
and was unfortunate enough to be caught
on that stalled train in the tunnel. Dur
ing the delay she was annoyed and
frightened by n man--no you can't give
him that name, the tine-worn, 'masher
better describes him--who, when she
finally reached the station, kept close to
her. In her attempt to get away from
him she WAS caught in the crowd and
received that blow on the head. When
she revived in the waiting room and saw
him outside, her one thought was to
get away. She secured taxi and came
here, and in her half-hysterical condl-
ton decided that she would do the os-
trch stunt and register under another
name than he own. The feminine
mind, you know, doctor, moves in n
mysterious way"
Even through my relief at the story
Dickv had recounted there came flash
of resentment that he could not have
omitted the little humorous dig at fem
mime foibles which he rarely foregoes
when am the subject of the CONVERSE

The one thing that every woman
would like to know more than anything
else in the wide world is what bait TO use
when she becomes fisher of men.
What qualities do men admire most
in women? What is the secret Of the
mysterious allure some women seem 10
have for every mani Why do some
women draw men TO them, and others
repulse them? Why can some women
marry half dozen times, while others
never have a single PROPOSAL
If any woman has solved this riddle
of the Sphinx she keeps her precious
knowledge to herself. II men really
know what is the charm by which they
are conjured they are generally silent
on the subject, but the other day when
this burning subject was being dis
cussed, n man said:
'Or course, women all believe that
! the thing that attracts man first to
woman is n pretty face Probably this is
/ true, but beauty Is sort OF show win
dow attraction. A man likes 10 look at
girl who is easy on the eyes, He likes
/ 10 take out woman who is such Il
/ sumner that she makes everybody
rubber, but that's about allluulesS IT
happens that the living picture has a
mind and heart that are as well
adorned as her body.
And that doesn't happen often be-
cause when nature lavlshes u lot OF
extra irills on the outside ol anybody,
either man or woman, she is mighty
apt TO scrimp on the inside furnishings.

variably lose their hold on men when
their looks fade, so | would not rank
beauty very high as a husband getter.

dredth man is attracted by intellectual
ity in a woman. The balance have no

are scrambled . 1t takes q bigger man
