A Woman ObSeSsed

ney unless she decided to marry him
She had said she would rather die
than do that, so really il was a mat
ter of business, almost honor, for him
TO help her. It wasn't his fault he
couldn't tell Muriel. She made it i'm
possible for him to cOnfide in her.
Lulu tactfully refrained from ask
ing questions. although she surmised
his errand. That was one of her at
fractions for Bruce. that and her IN
disguised interest in all he did TO
amuse himself. She was not mer-
cenary-she never asked about his
business. He did not realize that she
extracted all she wished to know and
that he voluntarily told her because
of her chummy concern in all that
pertained to him.
Then there was an intriguing quail
ity in Lulu that appealed to Bruce,
her failure to whine or to tell her
hard-luck stories until he dragged
them from her. Now as he returned
to the table she welcomed him bright
ly. and while the waiter was bringing
their order she told him a delight
fully funny story. She was a real
companion. he thought, and if wish
that Muriel were more like her in
that respect crossed her mind he
could not be blamed.
Muriel was totally lacking in hum
or. She never told amusing stories or
was entertaining. All she wanted
was to sit reading or telling him how
much she loved him. or that his duty
was to her. Duty. How he hated the
word,
a penny for your thoughts Lulu
said brightly. You haven't spoken
for five minutes
II beg your pardon. Lulu. My
thoughts aren't worth a German
mark, let alone a penny. Now tell
me all your troubles, dear" The last
word slipped out unconseiously and
she flushed with pleasure. He never
had used an affectionate term to her
before. MY shoulders are broad
He squared them.
Indeed they are. You are splen-
didly built" she flattered Il hate to
worry you, yet l don't know what
else to do. who to talk TO. l am
terribly alone-a sort of lost child
with no one to look after me. No one
to love me-" she added in a low tone.
OOLne ltI me. LOU Hlusln le"l
like that, Lulu. You are very low
able when one knows you"
Am Il" Naively she asked the ques-
ton with n pleased look in her eyes.
Indeed you are, You are such a
good sport. Now fire away. Tell me
just what you have tried to do. What
has happened"
Lulu rested her cheek on her hand,
her eyes searching his for a moment,
Then she dropped her lids and Bruce
noticed the long lashes curling on her
cheeks and thought how lovely she
was and what a pity life had been
so hard for her.

Woman Rules Budget of Big State as
She'd Run Home Economically
BY GENE COIN
Sacramento, Cal, March &c;

Sacramento, Cal, March 1S.-Cali-
fornia's finances are bossed by Il
woman-Mrs. Nellie Brewer Pierce.
When Friend W. Richardson was
running for governor he promised
economy. Elected. he summoned
Mrs. Pierce to put it into effect for
him.
Probably she's the first woman who
ever drafted state budget.
How she slashed figures.
How much she'll have saved by The
end of her first year as budget di-
rector it's too soon to say yet, but
all indications are that the total will
run into many. many millions.
OF course her economies haven't
been popular with politicians. Whole
broadsidcs of attacks have been d.
rected against her. Mrs. Pierce
doesn't run and hide, however. When
she answers at all, it's to defend her
self vigorously. She's polite about it
but unyielding.
Every woman who's ever run

Chapter \LIE.
For a moment Bruce hesitated.
Muriel was expecting him. But
Lulu's black eyes flashed slongingly,
her lips were parted in Smile and
her black hair framed her piquant
face ravishingly.

tending not TO notice his hesitancy.
"All right. Come along" Bruce an
swered. They ran laughing down the
stairs. The slatternly landlady spied
upon them from partly opened
door. The dirty children still played
on the steps.
Bruce shuddered a bit as they
forced their way through the gaping
group. This was not a nice place
for Lulu. She should not live in
such surroundings. They were de
grading. But he said nothing and
simply hurried her along out of sight
of the squalor.
They went 10 the same restaurant
they had visited before. Wyckoff, the
office boy, was not likely to dine
there and Bruce knew Of no other
where they would not be in danger
of running into some one he knew.
He flushed at the thought. 1t was
obnoxious to him. this necessary
secrecy. But he dared not go where
he might see some one who might
say something that would reach
Muriel. He called himself a coward
but wished she were different, more
of a sport. so he would not be obliged
10 hide things from her.
He also resented the fact that be-
cause Of her insane jealousy, as he

when she replied she had been to the

mitted she had been told he had left

Where are you now?" she asked

hung up before she could question

you will be radiating the same mag
netism, plus your own.
Such association will contribute
more toward your growth along the
lines of your ideal than all the text
books and directions that you may
read. The hunter learns by hunting
but he learns more completely and
quickly by hunting with a great hunt
err; he "picks up" the finer points,
learns to read nature through the
more experienced eyes of his compan-
ion. 1t is the same in all other walks
of life; the law OF influence is sure
of results, such results as you elect
to garner.
Our heroes in books. after we are
thoroughly familiar with them, be-
come living characters, real people,
and exert but little less influence
upon us than our heroes in the flesh.
Their fine points become ours. Their
courage. trend of thought, faith, hope
and ambition are interviewer into the
warp and wool of our being.
All of which leads up to an even
greater point-the responsibility Of
influencing others. This we should do
by example, not preaching. We should
always bring out the best that is with
in US.
And by thus expressing ourselves
we grow. We must express, or else
the impulse or the thing dies. BY ex-
preston it is given life and crystalizes
into personality and solidifies into
pleasing circumstance and condition.
We must get and give good influ
ence to grow. Lets make it a motto,

Dessert
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia Univc" :ty.

What to have for is one
of the questions a he Ier has
to answer daily.
If the meal has been heavy, dessert
should be light.
If fish has been served, fruit is &C
ceptable.
Never serve a custard or very soft,
smooth dessert when the meat or fish
has been boiled.
Prepared gelatin buildings are 4

is a good foundation for n snow pud-
ding. Sage, tapioca, rice, cornmeal
and farina are excellent for buildings.
combined with apples, canned fruit
and the dried sweet fruits, like figs,
prunes and dates. Fritters are fav-
orites with most people, and, in cold
weather, griddle cakes and waffles.
The c0mmonest complaint against
pie and steamed buildings is that they
cause stomach difficulty, but too often
the reason is that We eat them after
very sufficient meal.

GETTING AID FROM THE LAW
OF INFLUENCE.

1t is the law of Nature that the
minds of individuals shall react upon
each other. Your mind is influencing
mine, and mine, yours. Each of us
has definite influence upon the con-
seriousness of those with whom we
come in contact; and each of us plays
his part in determining the mental
atmosphere of the community in
which he lives.

Clusters of fruit. preferably cher

Household Suggestions
1t Serves For Scum.

1t Serves For Soup.
The liquid in which salt beef is
boiled will not be too salty for soup
if you will leave two or three carrots
in it until cold. They will absorb the
salt so that when it is reheated and
the necessary vegetables added the
seasoning will be just about right.

Making Liquid Soap.

Instead of throwing scraps of soap
away when they become too small for
use, collect them in a jar, cover with
water and stand in the oven until the
soap is melted. Excellent liquid soap
is the result.
