Dance Recital Of Miles School
 Saturday

The dance recital of the Miles School for Dancing, under the auspices of the Lakeview School Improvement associa- tion, has attracted widespread atten- tion. The recital will be given at the Phillips High school auditorium Satur- day afternoon and evening. The same program will be given both matinee and night. As the annual recitals of the Miles School for Dancing have always drawn large and appreciative audiences in Birmingham, it is expected the audi torium will be well filled for both per formances. The proceeds will be de- voted to needed additional facilities at the Lakeyiew school, not taken care of by the board of education, particu- larly in connection with the lunch room.
 Tickets purchased from the children. of Lakeview school or from other sources may be reserved at Clark 6 Jones at any time Friday or Saturday. The programs will begin at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and at 8 o'clock at night.
 Mrs. J. B. Kaufman is acting as gen. eral chairman for the recital. She is being assisted by committee composed of Mesdames Joseph Ware, B. s. Les ter, Henry Taylor, Oliver Cox, Ben Price. Wade Rogers, Richard Folmar, W. K. Hatcher, J. E. ChappeI, B. J. Davis and J. R. Adams.

After drying salt for the table let it get quite cold before putting into the salt cellars, If, put in hot it will harden into Jumps.
 Tr thoroughly clean saucepans after cooking oatmeal, fill them with boiling water, empty and then fill with cold water, and the oatmeal will almost fall away from the sides.

 When making mustard add a drop of salad oil to it while it is being mixed. This. will greatly improve the flavor.
 Cucumbers should never be served floating in vinegar that has been peppered and salted It destroys the flavor. One might just as well put vinegar into drinking water. When cucumbers are to be used in salads they should be peeled and sliced after the other greens are in the salad bowl, as cucumbers sliced fine wither quickly. Pour the dressing over the salad immediately. In making soups always put the meat in cold water. Corned beef and ham should not be put in boiling wa ter. A tablespoon of vinegar in the pot will make tough meat or chicken tender
 Mouse traps should be thoroughly scalded and aired after two or three mice have been caught in them. Otherwise the scent will keep mice away from them.

The Ghost Flowers

TESSUP was cursed by the bogy of
 thoroughness. It was beyond possibility for him to skimp job, whether it was parting his rair or turning business deal. Hence as he surveyed the large front lawn of his new home that sunny spring morning This remarks were comprised in one syllable.
 It was a beautiful sight, for the smooth emerald green was peppered with thousands of tiny golden balls dandelions. There were just as many fin the yard next door, and, in fact; in every yard visible. There never were so many dandelions collected in one given spot. And dandelions are the ruination of a lawn with their coarse leave. and all-persuasive tendencies. When he came out from the city that night Jessup bore mystic device war ranted to extract any weed grown, and he set to work. His neighbors soon gathered and they 'grinned proyok- ingly.
 "Whaehu think you're doingy asked Grimes, the banker, who wore his gar dening sweater and old shoes, as was proper when one wielded a spade. You can't get rid of 'em! They come right back!" I

 The music ceased with crash. She heard her eompanidn's French curse as he was brought to an abrupt stand still by hand laid on his arm.
 This is the proprietOr!" someone exclaimed
 Then the mists cleared from her brain and she saw with painful dis tinctness. Everybody in the room was standing, or hurrying towards the door. Close to Marian were two men whom she had heard ordering high-balls. One of them was gripping DeLisle's shoul- der with one hand while, with the other he threw back his coat to display the badge on his chest.
 We've got you with the goods on you 2 the officeg was saying. Swear ing does no good P
 A hand seizer Marian's wrist and George Dixon's voice sounded in her ears.
 Come with me-" he exclaimed,
 But he got no farther.
 Hold on, young man p, someone commanded "This woman may be q part of the establishment"
 "She is not !" George Dixon protest ed Il tell you, Mir. BanscOmb, she has nothing to do with it. These men are arrestihg DeLisle for selling liquor This girl is simply an employe here and you have no right to touch her"
 Not so fast, young chap!' some one advised as Marian shrank away, aYerting her masked face from the gaze of the irate deacon. "She may have bought liquor herewith the rest of the bunch"
 "She has notl" It was DeLisle who spoke shrilly. "Let her go! She is an outsider entirely-and has nothing to do with the place"
 "Her name is Elizabeth White" Dix on interposed. As to lifting her mask why should she?"
 Marian glanced wildly around. Dea- cons Branscomb and Holmes stood near DeLisle. pointing to the various tables on which were wine and whisky glasses. At that instant they were not looking at her.
 With n swift gesture she turned to- wards the police officer and lifted her mask for an instant she stood thus.
 Let me go !" she begged.
 Go onr' the officer advised gruffly, but not unkindly.

Listening In Or Foe

Jessup ficiously, swatting a particular ly fat, husky dandelion and hurling it's remains at the feet of Arascome, the stocks and bonds man. All it needs is patience and persistence" "A little dynamite would do more good" Trascome informed him genially. We've all tried to manicure our lawns and look at lem now! Do you know what you're up against? Are you at all acquainted with dandelions? They haven't the gentle, yielding nature of a violet, you know, and if you leave mere ly the tiniest tip end of their roots a new plant b0bs up the minute you turn your back after chopping out the old I one If you pour salt Awateffn6n lem they say goody, goody, here's the ocean, and, after their dip come out twice as strong and healthy If you grind your heel in the face of one blossom two more spring up It's no user' sgy"It may take me all summer, Jes- sup admitted, but I'll lick 'em yet Drat emp
 At the end of the meek even Jessup had to admit that his work didn't show for much and he wielded the lawn mower with some relief. It certainly seemed good to look out and see per- fectly green lawn denuded of the hated yellow bloom, and he went to bed with a peaceful heart. That was it-keep the pesky things cut down even if he moved twice a week, and eventually they would die out.
 Every night and every morning and nearly all day Sundays Jessup wielded the weeder doggedly and grumped at his testing neighbors, who gayly depart ed to golf links and what not, leaving their lawns unshepherded. Jessup ex- cavated dandelions by the hundreds and in another day the vacancies were all filled up and more .dandelions were waving in the breeze. He took to lec- turing his neighbors on the sins of omissiOn-if they let their dandelions go to seed, what could the rest of the community expect?
 We must mow lem down." Grimes told him comfortably, and let it go at that. Life is too short, my boy, to go up against such hdyra-headed prOposi7 tion :"
 But Jessup labored on. Tn a couple of years Jessup stated with conviction he was certain he would have the pests eliminated. He'd show 'em! But he couldn't golf or have any other joys until the task was accomplished.
 That was before the Inkmores from town came out for the weekend, and Mrs. Inkmore, who was artistic, wan dered out on the front lawn after a walk. She smiled at Jessup and waved large bunch of ethereal, feathery white globules before him. See" she breathed. Aren't they lovely? Ghost howeres, l. call tbem!" And daintily she pursed her lips and blew Scores, hundreds, thousands of dandelion seeds were waited in all directions over Ellerby Jessup's front lawn, which >now had so many, many vacant little spots of earth--hungry and waiting for items such as dandelion seed. Jessup watched them settle with the expression of a man who recognizes malign fates power and boks to 1t.
 Then he threw down. his weeder and cupped his hands in the direction of Trascome's porch. ''Say r' he shouted. What time're you going to the golf club? sI'm coming with the rest of the hunch "

But the sovereign remedy for such cases is change. What your wife needs is a good, long trip somewhere, preferably to some for eign country, where her mind would get jolted out of the rut that it has worn in the twenty-five years of married life and where she would get over her morbid self pity. For the chances are that she has got bored with. domestic life and with you.
 Don't let that thought hurt you or wound your vanity. We all get fed up at times with the people with whom we live, no matter how charming and agreeable they are, nor what models of all the virtues. Probably you have felt that way about your wife yourself. And women are more prone to attacks of this kind than men are because they have fewer outside interests.
 Every woman knows from per sonai experience that there are seasons when her husband gets on her nerves, when everything he does and says irritates her, when she wonders why on earth she ever picked him out and married him, and when she feels that if it wasn't for the children and the scandal she would put on her bon net and run downtown and get divorce before dinner. But let him go away for week When he comes back he looks once more like the hero of her girlish dreams, and she thinks she is the 1uckiest per son to have got such a husband.
 There would be more happy homes and fewer divorces if hus- bands understood the magic that

I would be glad to care for him again, but I cannot. want to be kind to him, Snd l am very sorry that am making him miserable, just as 1 used to be, but l cannot help it. The situation is hard for both of us What can we do? SAD WIFE.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-24

Answer:
 do not think there is anything that you can do except to adjust your marriage to the friendship basis, on which it may be very pleasant and in which you and your husband can be good com rades, helpful business partners and make your matrimonial jour ney together more comfortable and happier than you would be apart. But the glory and the circling wings, the fine perfume and the savor that really make marriage worth while are gone, and you cannot bring them back.
 Those who believe that dead love can ever be brought back to life again deceive themselves with false hopes. We cannot kindle ashes into a flame. We cannot bring back the romance that we have seen dis solve into thin air. We can never trust again the hand that has stabbed us. There is no miracle that we can work that will bring back lost faith, lost illusions, lost desire.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-24

It is our vanity that makes us think that we cannot kill love, and that once anyone loves us he or she cannot choose but go on loving us until the end of the chapter. So we take liberties with this belief and take no pains to hold the hearts we have won.
 . Many women think that their hus- bands will always see them as attrac- tive and desirable, no matter how slov- enly and untidy they go about home They believe that their husbands will continue to love them, no matter how selfish and dull and stupid they are, or how much they nag, and fret, and whine, or how vile their tempers are.
 And men are sold to the belief that their wives will go, on loving them even if they are surly and gronchy, and abusive, and stingy, and neglectful, and brutal.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-24

Answer:
 I should say consult some good nerve specialist. Evidently some nervous trouble is at the bottom of your wife's changed disposition.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-24

But they deceive themselves. Love isn't a hardy perennial that comes up fresh after every freeze, and that no-ill-treatment can kill. It is an air-fed orchid that only the tenderest cherishing can keep alive, and that lives only in an atmos-- phere of warm affection and ten der deeds.
 Perhaps if we realized how easi- ly love is killed we would be more careful in cherishing it. DOROTHY DIX.
