A passing dog stopped, looked around shyly and trotted to the door to make sure the coast was clear Then he re- turned 10 the meat Envyingly, he surveyed it. There was an obvious struggle between instinct and train ing. But finally with great effort, poor Iido shook off the voice of the tempter and trotted sadly away.

 This picture is the screen adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's "The Tails man. and is in every way just as elaborate, just as spectacular and just as historically accurate as was Rob- in Hood"

 STALE CAKE | Stale cake can often be used fol really delicious desserts. Sponge cake especially need never be thrown away.
 Dark cakes seldom dry out as quickly as light cakes so are less ot problem. 1 If light cake is really very stale 1 il can be crumbed. soaked in milk 1 until soft and then combined with | egg and jelly to make a baked pud- ding.
 Sponge cake can be used the same way or in q Mock Tipsy pudding" Mock Tipsy Pudding 1 Cut sponge cake in thin slices and spread with jam or preserves. Ad- range in a deep dish and pour over 1 two cups of thin boiled custard. Let stand several hours until the cake absorbs the custard and serve cold. Crumb Pudding Two cups cake crumbs, l egg, milk to make moist, jelly or jam, table spoons sugar.
 Add milk to crumbs and let stand until milk is absorbed. Add yolk of egg and beat well. Turn into a but tered baking dish and bake in a mod crate oven until firm to the touch. and cover with the white of the egg beaten until stiff and dry with sugar Return to oven to brown the mer- ingue.
 Cake Pudding Cut cake in pieces for serving and pour over hot chocolate sauce. Let stand until cool enough to serve. Chocolate sauce One cup sugar, cup water, l tablespoons grated chocolate, S-4 cup milk, 2 teaspoons cornstarch. tiny pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla.
 Combine sugar and water and bring to the boiling point. Melt chocolate in one-half cup of milk and add to sirup. Dissolve cornstarch in four tablespoons milk and stir into first mixture, Add salt and boil un- til smooth and of creamy consistency. Beat constantly with dover beater. Remove from the fire and add van fila.
 Another sauce that is excellent with stale cake is tho following orange sauce;
 Orange Sauce
 Three-quarters cup sugar cup boiling water, tablespoon cornstarch tablespoons orange juice, grated rind of 1 orange, teaspoon lemon juice.
 Mix cornstarch with sugar and add boiling water. slowly stirring con stantly. Boil three minutes, add the grated rind and juice Of orange, lemon juice and few grains of salt and cook two minutes longer.
 An extremely simple way 10 use stale cake is to cut the cake in round shapes. large enough 10 hold a half n canned peach, Soften the cake with the juice from the can and place on an oiled cookie sheet.

 Very dry cake can be crumbnd and mixed with as much fruit juice as the crumbs will absorb. Chill thoroughly and serve with whipped cream sweetcned and slightly flav. ored with vanilla.
 This is good way 10 use ID can ned fruit juices as well as the stale cake. One-quarter cup of cream will whip to serve four persons for this dessert.

Another pretty evening dress shows the rather full drape that is formed by skirt wrapped around from the back to one side--instead of from the front to one side. as is usually the way it is done.
 Both these models are sleeveless of course, and both illustrate the best of the seasons fashions for afternoon or informal evening wear simplicity and charm.

Such unusual trimming is found on some of the new evening gowns. 1t consists of long ties that begin on each shoulder, loop over each other and fall nearly to the dress hem. All this in the back Of the frock-there's not a sign of them in front. The dress is almost perfectly straight just slight tightening about the the waist to give it shape.

sfalgc Is Sure

She flung the last words out with a vigor so in contrast to the half musing murmur in which she had been absorbed for the last few sec onds, that was startled into a panicky protest There was the be- ginning of doubt in her eyes, which if allowed to grow would de stroy all the physicians wise pre- scriptions.
 Where did you get an idea like that? ." I asked, purposely making my voice irritated. ''Dr. Braithwaite is surgeon. not a psychical expert. He simply saw you were worn out and prescribed a rest for you. He didn't tell Alfred anything else, you may be sure. know Edwin. Hes a shark on surgery. but nerves are all early Sumcrian to him.
 Are you sure?' The childlike eagerness in her voice, the renewed light in her eyes, helped to smother the early Puritan grows which my leashed conscience was giving.
 Of course. So don't be silly goose, but take the happiness the gods have given you and be thank ful for 1t"
 "oh am, am" she asseverated stoutly, "only do you know-while Alfred told me he wouldn't have hurt me for the world if he only had realized how his friendship with Bess Dean annoyed me-yet-1 do not believe he has any idea yet of the real nature of that girl. l think he-thinks she's-a pretty good sort misunderstood--you know--and all that"
 There was the sure, wifely intui- tion in her voice which I knew il was useless to combat by reasoning or apparent proof, so contented myself with saying argumentatively;
 Well. even su1posing that is true. can't you wait for Time to show him the truth about the girl while you hug 10 your heart the hap piness you have"
 There was swift comprehension Tn the misty eyes lifted to mine.
 "I'n do what you say, Madge-- and trust the rest to ;you," she whispered. and as I left her I was sure she knew that I meant to aid Time in his task of showing Alfred the truth concerning Bess Dean.

 Dicky notes are always as in- souciant as his speech, but there was something in the fippancy Of the one held which puzzled me for a minute.

without effort or thought Of our
work. Nor does this mean that while
we avoid hurry that we must work
less rapidly. 'One can work just as
rapidly as heretofore and avoid hur-
rying-and the work will be of
better quality, and usually, too, a
greater amount accomplished.
This involves self-possession.
If you are complete master of your
self while working you will work as
rapidly as is natural for you and
you will be completely free from the
over-powering sense of hurry, the ir-
ritating sense that destroys our self
possession, our power, and shoots us
to pieces.
And this self-possession, this self
mastery that we all strive for, is
gained best by a declaration Of in
dependence" and by the use of sug-
gestion in carrying it out.
One should declare that he will not
attempt more than he can do with
out strain; most of us attempt to do
too many things or too much at n
ltime-conscquently we are continually
under strain, either conscious or
unconscious we never rest.
He should declare, too, that the
moment strain or hurry is indicated,
that he will cease work. Take time
out for breathing spell"-and seize
the opportunity to really breathe,
breathe deeply-and rest.
Drive your work rapidly IL you like,
but don't let it drive you-therein lies
the difference between self-possession
and servility, between hurry-worry
and health. happiness and success.
Your formula for suggestion should
be used PRIOR TO beginning work
upon retiring. arising and five min
utes before you actually commence.
Simply repeat. II will work with self
possession, with strain. but with
power. / shall MAINTAIN this de-
lightful state throughout the day. And
as I persist in it. self-possession will
remain with me in all things through
out my life"

Miss Chalfant's parents did not

Maple Cream
Candy
BY BERTHA e. CHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University.

Place three cups of maple strip, one
cup of cream and a quarter cup of
butter in a sauce pan over the fire and
stir until it reaches the boiling point.
Then place over simmering burner or
on back of range where it will boil
gently until a soft ball can be formed
with the fingers when some of the
strip has been dropped into cold water.
When this can be done, remove from
the fire, cool and then beat until
thick and creamy. Stir in one cup of
nuts, preferably pecans. add one-half
teaspoon of vanilla and pour into
buttered or oiled pan. Cut when cold,
into squares.
Caution: Do not beat too long
time, or the candy will be hard I'M
stead of creamy.
This candy can also be made sue
cussfully with brown sugar.

Brown gabardine composes one OF
these tailleurs which has plain,
straight skirt and short jacket fast
ening on the left hip with a fancy
medallion of brown silk braid. The
jacket fastens on the left shoulder and
the front has a simple braid medal
lion.
Paris, April 18.-Among the sum-
mer frOcks of today there is one
model likely to become extremely
popular. 1t looks well on both the
slim and the plump, the young and
old. This model has an accordion
plated skirt and it is likely to be
supplemented with a little cape, also
accordion plated.
London, April 19.-That pleasant
combination of colors, dark blue and
biscuit, is seen in surprisingly large
number of street frocks today. These
frocks are likely to be of gabardine
or heavy silk marocain with a pip
ing of biscuit satin or with panels
faced in biscuit.
London, April 19.-Three new lit
tic fancies intrigue the younger set
today. One is a neckline long on
the shoulders, but cut out only to the
base of the neck in back and front.
