Before Dick went 10 California I was sure that in all this world there vas but one man for one woman, and only one woman for one man.
 Now I have almost come 10 the conclusion that any woman is made for any man. IT man and woms n come together and they have the same tastes and interests it is only q question Of time when they will think that al last they have found their true mate.
 Of course, it is poetic and con soling thought and somewhat egotis- ticai as well, 10 think that Fate has d particular interest in you and that when one falls ln love with someone who seems 10 return that love in kind. fl titilstes ones pride. That Fate has brought together the only two people in the universe who are In accord. is 3 pleasant thought.
 Now l am not so sure or this. uur ovsrcrowded divorce courts attest that mistakes are made by poor. blindel humanity iB the matrimonial selection sweepstakes. quite as often as it makes in any of the other ar- fairs of life
 When Dick went to California He both felt we could not endure a long separation. T. Has decided between us that just as soon as he got settled aas 10 20 10 him. Arriving there. however. he immediately became sb- sorbed in his new work. This per csived from his first irttcr vas The most novel and exciting he had ever known. IL took him aso into com pIeteiy new fife. He met people men and uonnen-'he like of whom he had never met before.
 Ills mind was stimulated by con- tar' with other minds whose view points On al questions were entirely different from his. His emotions were stirred by the sight Of women whose beauty is exotic and fascinating as a new. hitherto undreamed Of flower.
 From the ars 1 saw that a conn., pIete change had come into his out look upon life. and although l tried 10 follow him. il was impossible for me 10 do 70. Consequently. VIC have come 10 the parting Of the ways.
 Sally. ] have just received a very 5is41ietinT telegram from Dick. WiiI hnish this letter tomorrow.

, not half cold or tepid.
 The sense of sight must be appealed to quite as much as the sense oi taste, for if the dish does not look ap. petizing an invalid will usually mol even taste it.
 Junket ice cream is ideal for the invalid tray. This rule is for an in dividual serving. The cream can be frozen in baking powder box buried in ice and salt. Use one part salt to three parts ice and pour over one-half cup luke warm water
 Junket Ice Cream for One
 quarters cup sweet milk, { tablespoons sugar, 1-2 Junket tablet, 2 teaspoons cold water, 1-4 teaspoon vanilla, IA cup whipping cream.
 Heat milk and sugar with a few grains of salt until luke warm. Re- move from the fire and stir in the junket tablet crushed and desolvcd in the cold water. Crush the tablet be- fore covering with water. Let the milk stand until ii cools and jellies Pack In ice and salt. Let stand 10 minutes and scrape down the sides of mixture with a spatula. Beat in cream whipped until stift. Let stand two or three hours, scraping down the sides once or twice to insure even freezing.
 Before filling the baking powder can with the junket mixture test the can thoroughly to be sure that no salt water can seep in to spoil tho Ice cream.
 Baked Custari for One
 Three-quarters cup milk, 2 dessert spoons sugar. few grains salt, egg, l-4 teaspoon vanilla or few gratings nutmeg.
 Scald milk in top of double boiler over hot water. Beat egg slightly with sugar and salt and slowly beat in milk. If care is taken that the milk and egg are perfectly blended it will be unnecessary to strain the mixture. Pour into two slightly buttered GUS tard cups and set in a pan of hot water. Bake about 70 minutes In a moderate oven. Do not let the water in the pan boil while baking. Test the custard with the blade of silver knife. If the blade comes out clean when put in the center of the custard the custard is done. If the earthen- ware cups are used they should be put immediately into pan of cold water when removed from the oven. The heavy earthenware holds the heat and continues cooking the GUS. tard if not chilled.

DISSEkIS toR NNAblDS If there is an invalid in your house perhaps some suggestions for desserts will be helpful.
 Absolute daintiness and perfection must be the keynote Of the entire tray. A watery custard or broken mold of dessert has no place on an invalid's tray
 Light, easily digcstcl sweets are necessary. II depends much on the type of tray served, just what sort of dessert may be offered a person who is ill. But even the patient on a liquid diet" is allowed ice cream. This does not apply, however, to the "liquid diet without milk" sometimes ordered. Fruit ices and jellics find a welcome place on this type of tray.
 The ''soft diet with care" allows ice cream, delicate custards and fruit jcllies.
 The soft diet permits more va- riety. Baked apples, stewed fruits, ta apioca or delicate rice buildings can be added to the list.
 Full Diet
 ,The full diet is less of a problem, sponge cake, angel food, any simple cake, all sorts of light buildings serv- ed with whipped cream, in short, al- most anything but rich pastries, can be served.
 Tn the liquid and soft diets much of the nourishnent is provided in the dessert. A custard Of milk and eggs with a bit of sugar is very nourishing and may mean more to the meal than all the rest of it combined.
 A dessert that is cold must be serv- ed cold. not luke warm or half frozen.
 A hot dessert must be served hot,

chill, I went rapidly toward the west. Visions of bed and the hope of at last getting my collar off occupied my mind. But man is man, and after a moment I realized that I wanted a cigarette. Reaching the archway that leads into Shepherds Market, I hunched myself up to light match. A cold little wind was blowing. and the match went out. l retreated into the darkness of the archway, but un- fortunately the wind curled round into it; here began the tragedy that all men know, lighting match in the wind. Turn where I would, hunch myself up, or bend down to the ground, every match flared and went out before the tobacco would catch. and more determined, seeking cor. ners, as one by one the matches vanished. It took me nearly five minutes to light that cigarette; in the middle of my struggle was con- scious of the sound of a taxi draw ing up and moving away past the archway. With breath of relief turned to go out, my cigarette well lit; I beheld an extraordinary spec tacle.',
 Before me. young and apparently beautiful woman, in full evening dress, was engaged in curious antics. At one moment she bent down and called something. At others she took a nimble little run, then ran to the right or left in circles.
 At that moment I perceived a fox terrier. I felt stupefied, not being accustomed to seeing fin the middle of the night ladies in fiame-colored brocade playing with fox terriers in Curzon street.
 Spot" said the woman, desperate ly, Jack, Jim, come here. Come here, doggie oh, you devil"

We were walking ou; meanwhile the man in evening clothes talked a little in a low tone: Its quite as we'll, you see. Like that. if one committee gets caught, the others don't get taken also. Besides, we haven't far to go.' Where we went I still do not know, for our guards followed cleverly oircuitous routa. turning us round rapidly. diving into corners and coming out. Perhaps we went three hundred yards, per haps fifty. Finaly l found myself being led into house. The door closed behind me; my bandage was taken off. I went into a ground floor room from which the street could not be seen as the shutters were up.

THE SLIPPER OF RED BRoCADE

There comes moment in a dance when one has really had enough of it. Such a moment occurred one night at about two o'clock, in the middle of the ball which the Marchioness of Drimning was giving for her daughter, Adeline. Drimning House is very large, occupying as it does the s4e of four houses in Cursor street. But the acquaint- anceship of the marchioness would have been better suited by the Albert Hall: not only had she asked every
