Listening In On Foe

said she wished to have plain talk with me.
 Certainly I replied.
 "'Well, she began with some heat, I don't want you to imagine because I am from the city that I can be fooled into thinking that two boxes of berries are four boxes.' No amount of camou- flage of leaves and sprays can deceive me. I've just packed those ber- any too full Think of crushing those fresh; delicate berries into two boxes, Ben"
 ''She evidently has no soul for the beautiful, sis. What did you say to her; I'd like to know?"
 "l wasn't able to get in a word, for she wished to tell me that she had de- cided that she didn't care to employ me to lay out her small fruit garden in the autumn. She said she would rather have a landscape artist do it.
 "'I shall want to have guaranteed plants,' she said, and I don't suppose you could guarantee your roots, could youY
 "'No,' I answered meekly, but I should be glad to help you with
 No, thank you she interrupted, to do our work Mir. Phelps can afforVl to get some one who is responsible. You see, this place has cost great deal, and I don't feel that we can take any risks with the planting we do. And as to the berries you have sent over this morning, you certainly won't expect me to pay for four boxes when you've sent only two really. I'm will ing to pay fair price, but l simply won't be gouged.'
 Good heavens, sis, what did you say?" asked Ben hotly.
 T said just as pleasantly as could that I didn't expect her to pay any thing, that I had sent the berries for a present, aRd that I hoped she would enjoy them. Then I hung up, for r. well-felt sorry for her."
 ''She had got herself in a pretty mess, but of course you'll help her out of it, Belinda, and make her your friend for life. 1 know you, old girl

A very pretty nuptial event took place Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Samuel Lewis Creswell, when her lovely daughter Mamie Lewis, became the bride of Mir, Ernest Ross Mattison.

 The bride entered with her mother who gave her in marriage. She was beautiful in her wedding gown of brown georgette with hat and access lries tc match, wearing corsarge of sweetheart roses and lilies of the valley. The brides mother was becomingly gowned in grey crepe and a corsarge of Ophelis roses and swansonia.

JAZZ EVEN iN SCOTLAND
A Writer Seeks Explanation Of Syn
 copated Melody Wave

COPoUOA HAOAVuS VNSNO
 On the high wave of jazz that is flooding the world from Greenland's s mountains to the coral strand of India, all protests float like s many ineffiec- tual corks. There is ft&. trotting in the castles of the Rhine, one-stepping in Tara's halls, and todding in Turkey.
 By latest reports the shimme has penetrated the mountain strongho1ds of the McPhersons and McTavishes, where stern Caledonians may be observed swinging their kits in the Kansas City Shuffle, and shouting to the Ossianic gale that you have to kiss your mamma every night or you can't kiss your mamma at all, while the kettle drum mer ties arms in knos, and reeling pipers tear the remaining rags out of rag time.
 All this may be violation of the purest sentiments of the nations in- volved, but it is noticeable that the vic tims, like the Sabine women in the pictuhe, submit to the outrage with less indignation than alacrity.
 A vogue that captures the world in this outright way signifies, of course, something important about the spirit of the age, and the fact has been copiously interpreted. One explanation has not yet been ventured it may be, we think, as reasonable as the others.
 It is possible that jazz is merely a furious reort to the tempo of every day existence an effort to find release from a relentlessly swift routine by moving still faster; in short, kind of homeopathic antidote to the almost in- sane babel with which we are surround ed. It may have a rational and neces- sary value as recreation--as when a brain weary man lessens his fatigue by running; and it may have something of the tonic quality of satire in carry ing the madness of our lives a little further so as to reduce it to its essen- tial absurdity.
 Thus, after hearing a speech by Sena- tor Reed, or reading a book by Ben Hecht, or listening to a Rotarian ex- pound the philosophy of successful liv- ing, or on encountering this or that phase of what Stephen Leacock calls the newer idiocy," high strung sou might feel urged to safeguard his reason by standing on his head in a hotel lobby, or climbing a lamp post, or run. ming down California street in his pa. pamas with a chain of sowbells behind him. Jazz may be this kind of protest. -Argonant.

CaIories-And Food

IL1TS just too discouraging," wept " the woman who lacked back bone, putting an untouched tray on the kitchen table and crying into her handkerchief.
 What are you talking about?" asked her matter-of-fact sister.
 Bernard. He is the most discourag- ing person !! wept Bernard's wife. 'l don't care if do sound disloyal. He is so thoughtless and unkind, and he said the meanest things about that raspberry fluff being only fit for a canary bird"
 The practical sister regarded the rasp' bery fluff with level eyes. It was very pink, very fluffy and to her ,very unattractive looking. She thought in, stantly of vivid tooth pastes and com. plexion. creams.
 "Men aren't much for fancy dishes especially when they are i'll" she com. forted.
 .'"But, I spent all morning making it. and now he won't eat it. sobbed the discouraged wife, whose name was Anna.
 Bernard is probably hungry for man. like things, such as waffles and steaks and Irish stew" Annals sister said.
 But the doctor said he should have food that was full of calories and food value," said Anna. Il knew there were lots of calories in whipped cream P
 But it's so cloying and monotonous like the froth on soapy water" said the practical woman. Let me have a try at feeding that fussy husband oi yours"
 So Annals sister undertook to pre-. pare the food for the invalid after that The first tray she carried upstairs was a revelation compared with the first picturesque, unappealing offering of Anna.
 Buttered bread, thin as a shaving an omelett, a baked apple with thicl cream that was not whipped, and { of the clear soup, pink pudding anC silver of chicken breast in jelly.
 The sick man sat up in bed and at soulfully-and silently.
 But he ate.
 Downstairs in the kitchen, again, thu practical sister said to the fluffy one My dear, most men, especially wheH they are sick, despise foamy pudding l anu PANLhACo4US OSAaPS OA AOONs IN average woman can be tempted to eat by such things. The average man scorns them.
 "One slice of white bread contains 73 calories.- So three slices contain 217 calories. That's a good start fol a meal.
 Then, one tablespoonful of milk con tains 14 calories, and I put two table spoons in the omlet. That makes 2 calories in the omlet alone, tC which we add two eggs at 60 calorie, apiece. The bread, egg and milk in tht Omelet totalled 367 calories. Then Der nard drank a glass of milk-approxi mately 169 calories. The baked appl' represents 70 calories and the beef brotl Che had a small platefuD 110 calories Add that up and see if the grand tota does not please you. He swept thu tray clean"
 ''It akes 716 calories in all," Anna said, gratefully.

How My Wife Has Helped Me

 A RNOLD BRUNNER is one of the A most famous architects in the,
 world. He has designed the struc- ture for stadiums, colleges, bridges, hos pitals-public and private buildings and prepared plans for improving many cities-aIl works of art. At my request he designed a structure which houses a tribute to his wife and in the structure that is his heart and mind he told me how his wife had helped him. It was delight to listen to him. Mrs. Brun- ner was his goddess and he poured forth his appreciation at her shrine freely, eagerly, impulsively. It was ob- vious that MT. and Mrs. Brunner have been of enormous assistance to each other.
 My wife is a playright and also writes books. She is very sympathetic to architecture and has given me just the encouragement 1 have needed. The one can get from only one woman in the world, suppose.
 Architecture is a peculiar profession, and when the practical seems to over whelm the artistic side, that is when a man needs sympathy and advice and that is what l have always had from my wife.
 "e are especially sympathetic for this reason. In writing a play the principle is very much the same as de- signing a building. A play is cnstruct- ed. You make the skleton, backbone, structure, plot, story, and if that isn't strong, clean-straight story all the clever conversation and interesting incl dents will not save it. The play has to have all sorts of practical things. You have to rely upon managers, pro- ducers, scene shifters, painters, to pro- duce the play the public receives.
 "When you design a building if the main motif is not straight and strong and true, all the carving and decoration and beautiful materials will not save it. The architects drawing is really a prdmissory note to pay that building everything that is implied in the sketch. The building must be practical, well built, mustn't cost too much To get the building done you have to rely on
