Oiling Food Chopper,

Lang was not the kind of man to do that.
 'Well?" Walsh said with an effort to speak naturally. What can l do for you? By the way, suppose you know that Mickey is away on visit?'
 "Yes-I know it."
 "We-my wife and myself-were disappointed when we found that the child had taken the train yesterday. She should have told me of her plans. But I suppose they were made at the last moment. She left letter for her mother saying she had gone to spend few days with a friend-and would write us today. But she never told us who the friend was-forgot to, I suppose. My wife is sure it is Lydia Hastings-for Polly-vic's maid-said Mickey took the noon train east. And that Is the train she takes when she goes to visit Lydia"
 Kenneth cleared his throat. This man was talking so fast and nerv- ously that 1t would be hard to stem the flow of his eloquence.
 Yet his garrulity proved two things to Kenneth. One was that he did not suspect that Victoria had gone away with Travers. The mas terful man could not conceive the possibility of his daughters defying him to this extent.
 The second thing his cheerful volu- bility proved was that James Walsh had not yet inspected his vouchers. returned by the bank Therefore he knew nothing of Travers' action.
 Kenneth Lang must enlighten him as to both these calamities.
 And now" Walsh was saying, what did you want to talk to me about?" Kenneth set his teeth. He must face the music.
 First of all. about Victoria, MT. Walsh. She was married last eve ming to Sam Tavers."

 The other day a woman gave as her excuse for murdering her hus- band that he always criticised her cooking.
 She stood it for years and years, and when she could endure no longer having him ask, Did she call that slop coffee?" and What was the matter with the biscuit?" and if she thought she had a government con tract to make cannon balls instead of something to go in the human stomach" she reached down her lit tie automatic and forever silenced his carping tongue.
 All that woman will need in order to get free when she is tried Is to demand her constitutional rights to be tried by a jury of her peers. No 12 married women will ever send to the electric chair a sister who has done the thing that they have been tempted to do a thousand times, and that only the grace of God kept them from doing.
 .If the men who grumble over the food and knock their wives handl- work as they partake of it, were only
  the ladies across the table from them are wishing that they had the nerve to flavor up the abused dishes with a little Rough on Rats it would spoil many a husbands appetite. Like wise, there would be great lm- provement in domestic table man. ners, and husbands would follow the old nursery admonition, to eat what is set before them and ask no Ques- tions and make no comments.
 Why women should be more sensi- tive to criticism of their cooking than they are to criticism of any thing else they do they could not tell themselves. They simply arc. and nothing gets on their nerves like having strictures passed upon their gravies, and invidious compar- isons instituted between their pies and another woman's pies. Nor Is there any woman who would not rather have her character aspersed than her baking.
 Perhaps the reason that they re- sent criticism of their cooking so fiercely is because cooking is sac rificial rite, and the woman who has made burnt offering of herself on the kitchen stove feels that she should get a better reward for her sufferings than knocks. There is small encouragement in being mar tyr if no one appreciate the results.
 The discouraging thing about housework, anyway, is that the woman who labors hardest of any woman in the world never has any thing to show as the result of her toll. She cannot point as the au thoress can, to her rows of books. She cannot show her prosperous store. as the business woman can. She has spent her life sweeping floors that were dirtied up the next minute, mending. making clothes that wore out, cooking food that was gobbled up and forgotten. The only reward she can hope to have is the gratitude and appreciation of those she makes comfortable, and if she does not get this, she Is cheated of her just due.
 eYet this is the case of the great majority of women. Their husbands Ire not intentionally unkind to them, but they are committed to the belief that the first duty of a husband is to be an expert hammer wielde-. and to use cave man tactics in the home,

Embroidered Bands Of Trimming.
 In the shops you will find at the trimming counters all sorts of new and original looking bands of em- broidery. They are done on dark backgrounds of silk or of net, or they are done in white linens or muslins. or they are so closely cov- cred with stitches that it is impos- sible to know just exactly what has been the foundation of their bright ness.
 Now, you can see at glance how many and what lovely uses can be found for these handsome strips of trimming. They can be applied to dresses of silk or of cotton and they can te used as trimmings for the lighter sorts of wooden frocks that ar. coming along into favor with the approaching days of spring.
