There's No Known Reason Why Some Women Never Have Chance To Marry-Environmen Tenn perament and Luck Are Main Factors In
 Matrimonial Market

An old maid writes me that in all her life she has never had a single real beau nor proposal of marriage, and she wants to know if her ex- perience is unique--if she is the only woman that men have passed by without giving a single look.
 Lord. no, sister. If misery loves company you have plenty of 1t. In spite of all the white lies that mid dle-aged women tell about how much they were admired when they were young, and how the suitors knelt in rows at their feet, and what wonder full matches they could have made if they hadn't been set against mat rimony, there are thousands upon thousands of women with whom no man has ever walked out except upon compulsion, and who never had the ghost of show at wedding ring.
 Why this is thus. nobody on earth can tell. for the way of a snake on a rock and man with maid have been mysteries since the beginning of the world, and we are still as far from a solution of it as we were when Adam told Eve she was IT.
 Nobody knows why one woman can get seven husbands and another woman can't get one. It isn't mat ter of" fooks, because in any beauty show the spinsters would get quite as many blue ribbons as the wives. It isn't a matter of intelligence. be- wives and others like highbrows, and the old maids could qualify in both classes.

 While elaborate patterns and high colors look well on the display shelves, one is likely to become tired and fatigued by their gayety If seen on the table three times day. Leaves these fancier designs for the special tea set, or for a bright breakfast set, but let the main general set be pialn and simple. White china with band of green. or conventional tiny green leaf, of the Greek key design Is al. ways restful and coY background for many colored foods.

 novel but satisfying service from either Chineses or Japanese ware. Canton blue china Is most decorative in design and shape. It comes Tn square platters, square plates and un- usual pieces from which one may as semble quite a segviceable modern set. There are other makes of Qrie- tai ware, featuring green in Nthe glaze, such as Sedji, which is beau tiful soft Lanvin green, to use today's color terms This comes in various sized plates, cups and saucers, and in bowls used by the Oriental for his invariable rice, but which the clever American bride utilizes as soup bowl salid bowl. or vegetable dish in it's small sizes. A dinner or luncheon set of Sedji, with a separate salad set in the beautiful Golf Medallion" ware would be unique, inexpensive, yet just as practical as more con- ventional service.
 From the speciality shops we are also able to choose large plates of high glaze which, as chop plate, may substitute for the more standard platter. A glass platter again will permit cooking and serving on the one dish. A beefsteak platter, espe- cially set in a silver stand. will fulfil many proposes. Several of the newer glass baking dishes are divided into compartments so that two or even three foods may be ffered in single dish.
 In selecting any set be governed by the brides probable social activities. In the modest menage, six of each of the standard pieces will be sufficient; or as in silver, eight Is an excellent number always being generous with plates and cups. With well chosen "open stock" service, supported by a pretty separate salad set and tea set, it will be very easy to add other and novel pieces from time to time Per haps 1t is wisest to start with too few

She has table set out under the trees on her lawn, with big coffee urn steaming away, relays of hot biscuit from the kitchen. and her speciality golden brown codfish balls, all you can eat of them.

.. The thoughts of youth certainly and jealousy are subtle forces, and both of them were at work in the heart of Winifred Scott.

From what the artist told her it was evident that Donald had come to her house directly after tmnching with some woman at the .Ritz-Carlton. Of course. he had right to lunch with whom he pleased. Yet that he failed to tell her he had been with another friend piqued her. Did he suppose for a second that she, oWinifred would be jealous of that other woman? And if he had not supposed that, why had he been care ful to avoid all mention of her? Hay Ing just left her, 1t would have been quite natural that he should refer to this fact.
 Had Winifred been more given to ,self-analysis she would have sus~ ,pected her own feelings toward her guardian. As 1t was, she assured her self that she had no special fond ness for hin-beyond the liking and respect that young girl would nat Iirally have for the friend of the father to whom that father had given the management of his child's affairs. Youth must be amused. It also

BRIDES CHINA CLOSET

China, like silver. may be family heirloom, and lucky indeed the mod ern bride who receives in her care her grandmother's Doulton or Wedge wood or Sevres in the bauty and lustre of the old patterns. But for modern use, in these days of hustle, and with little If any experienced service, it is not wise to select too expensive or fragile china, especially for everyday use.
 American potteries have made great advance both in the beauty of their designs and in the coloring and choice of patterns and the bride this year has great variety from which to select No matter how simple or elaborate her future establishment, the same suggestions may guide her..
 Probably the best plan is to select from "open stock" no matter what style or kind of table service is pre- ferred. This makes replacement easy for there is really nothing more find it impossible to match" ones have met with disaster at the hands of the dshwasher. Another advan- tage of "open stock" is that one may select exactly those pieces most suit able to present needs. Many of the full dinner sets have far more pieces than the beginning bride of modest means will ever use. Thus the half others don't is just that some women have the come-hither look in their eyes and others have it not.
 And that's the gift of the gods.

Run around and find a real nice Liederkranz, cheese and treat it as follows to get a serving for four people:
 Mix the cheese with about a quar- ter of a pound of butter and work into a fine paste, adding salt, pep per, French mustard, paprika and Worcestershire sauce as you go along. Just add them to taste.
 When the paste Is smooth put in one finely chopped small green pep per, one sm4ll onion, or chives.
 Mix well!
 And serve on rye bread-spread thick. To be thoroushuly technical. I suppose I should have said: spread to taste!
 Editors Note-You can have wonderful time and make quite reputation for yourself by inventing cheese combinations. Ordinary cream cheese makes splendid base for original mixtures. Try combinations of finely minced pimento. celery, olives, chives and peppers (green and red). And everything else that promises well.
