the second-story windows Of a
house, had been permitted by the
salt ocean winds to grow in SER

These oaks In turn were surround
ed by a dense growth Of alders
and bayberry bushes which, from a
foot-high beginning of rose and
aweer-tern, swept upward to the
l2wer branches of the oaks like an
ocean swell. To the glade itself

press your love and faith. But
the world is slow in realizing thi.
and stresses the form rather than
the substance. If the man for
whom you care were more ma
ture, perhaps he could make his
parents see this. But a boy OF
twenty-one may feel ardently and
yet not deeply enough to make
his family accept the fact that he
wants to marry outside his
church. Your happiness depends
on the sincerity Of your feelings
and the broadmindedness of
everyone concerned. So go SLOW
ly and try to win your way to a
harmony without which there can
be no real happiness.

suggestions to use more vegetables
in the diet is simply because in
the city market most vegetables,
even at this season of the year.
are far too high.priced for the
average purse.
A survey Of the fresh vege-
tables, however, will convince
the housewife who will attempt
something new. that there are
many vegetables which we are
not used to serving cooked that
may be cooked appetizingly and
at very little cost.
For instance, cucumbers are
rather difficult to digest II eaten
raw. To prepare cucumbers'
pare, split in half, remove the
seeds and cut into inch lengths.
Cook in boiling sailed water until
translucent. Ten to fifteen minutes
will be required. Tiny white
onions may be cooked with the
cucumbers. Drain the vegetables
and serve with melted butter and
finely chopped parsley.
The tough outside pieces Of
punches OF table celery are tied
together by the enterprising veg
etable dealer and sold at some
thing like cents for q dozen
or more pieces. Scrub, scrape
and cut into inch lengths, and
par-boil the celery in just enough
water to cover for five minutes.
Drain and reserve the water for
sauce. Saute the partly cooked
celery on the hot fry pan with a
little butter or other fat.
When brown, serve with q
sauce made by thickening equal
parts of milk and celery water
and adding a little grated cheese
and butter as well as seasoning
The quantity of sauce made, of
course, will depend on the guam
tity Of celery cooked.
Beet tops, turnip tops and the
green tops Of other root vege-
tables peculiar to various local
tiles, are usually twisted off by
the dealer and cast aside. These
are excellent and are often OBJ
tainable for nothing or a few
pennies. Cook in just enough
water to prevent actual burning.
A bit Of garlic adds flavor.

young playwright With subtle cunning he in

To his credit his attraction to Silver at this time
was purely professional. He wished to dazzle her
with his own wealth, power, talents and prestige,
and the dazzle of the stage.

Hedden was silent for some mo-

appeared red and swollen. When
he spoke it was with distinct
effort.

Silver owned a catboat about
fifteen feet long. Her fathers
gift, at considerable financial sac
rifice, the sound and pretty little
craft had a personality for her.
For many days now, owing to
Hedden's presence in the house,
the Gopher had nodded neglected
at her moorings, and, owing to
recent rains at night, was settling
lower and lower in the water. Cap
tain Sands said nothing, but the
thought that Silver had already
tired of his gift cut his tender
heart to the quick. He did not
know that Silver herself felt badly
about it.

RYE STRONGEST
IN GRAIN TRADE
Wheat and Corn Both Show
Strength-ProviSionS Firm,

By United Ffnancio1
CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-All grains dis.
played strength and closed fraction
ally higher on the Chicago Board Of
Trade today.
There was a little r alizing late in.
the day but all deliveries in wheat
showed a fairly firm undertone at
fractional gains. Varying reports were
received from Canada. The minister of
agriculture at Ottawa was reported to
have predicted that western Canada
would raise the largest wheat crop in
its history.
September deliveries of corn were
fractionally flower, but the later
months registered fair advances. Ac-
cording to an Iowa State crop report,
moderate to excessive rainfall was
general in the corn belt and sunshine
below normal. The prospects for the
crop was reported poor to fairly good.
Oats were fractionally higher.
Provisions frmed up late and there
was some buying credited to foreign
accounts.
The strongest of all grains was rye.
Foreign buying, probably due to the
fact that rye is the cheapest bread
grain, was in evidence,
