After It's All Over.

This business of a brOken-OH love
affair creates difficulty in more ways
than one Not only is there ques-
ton of broken hearts to be mendoza
sad enough matter by itself-but there
is the somewhat strained situation
which always results when two young
people in the same set come to a def
mite parting of the ways.
Gladys writes to tell me of tragic
finale to four years of what almost
amounted to engagement and asks
how she shall treat the gay young
Lothario who SO rudely broke her
heart, and whom she ia forced to meet
in the company of other girls two or
three times week.
Sometimes she has to play bridge
with him; very often at a private
dance she finds it difficult to escape
being his dancing partner. And since
his part in the recent love affair was
most discreditable, she wonders
whether she's being undignified In
continuing on friendly terms with
him.
Well. really. Gladys, you haven't
much choice in the matter. IT you're
cold and distant to this erstWhile
sweetheart Of yours, the gossips VIII
have food for conversation and you
won't appear in very dignif1ed posi-
ton. Also, he'll have the extreme
satisfaction of knowing you. to be
rather upset over his desertion.
Being the sort of small-minded per-
son he undoubtedly is. he'll take a
mean sort of pleasure in limiting care
lessly to other girls that "Gladys is
darn peeved over the while thing: she
won't even speak to me. Gee, some
girls have no sense Of 'humor."
In order to avoid that sort OF thing.
Gladys, you've got to keep up a stiff
upper lip and maintain a determinedly
friendly attitude.
Keep up as light and bantering con-
versation as you can manage when
you're left alone with the faithless
one.
Don't ever go in for "reminiscences
such as: Don't you remember, Jerry,
how we used to like to go to the b.
Hotel every Friday night" or Didn't
we use to enjoy those National
dances? They were the greatest fun"
Try to keep the past from your
mind, and be sure to keep it from
your conversation.
Never let yourself hope that per
haps If you're just the least little bit
sentimental he'll be swayed. enough in
his emotions to return to you again.
The chances are a hundred to one
against 1t. If you must meet him.
meet him in friendly spirit with your
head up and a persistent smile-.but
don't overdo it,
The lot of a Tilted girl is a hard
one-but her courage and her pride
may save her from absolute humilia-

After it's all over. don't let him
guess that you even remember there

Mint.

Breathing the very spirit of things
old fashioned are the mint patches
one may find these days around old
farmyards. In quaint Georgetown
gardens, too, and in the borders of
old-time Alexandria flower beds, one
comes on the traditional mint plants.
Now when other flowers are fading
and few perfumes make lovely the
air except the bitter-sweet aroma of
marigold, the fresh, clean, penetrating
odor Of the mint is thrown abroad.
Whenever you go a-hiking these
clear. sweet Autumn days and you
come to an old Maryland or Virginia
spring-house, watch for a bed of
water mint in the tiny trickle leading
from the little stone cavern. If you
lean down to drink, the water may
even have faint minty fragrance, as
close to a mint julep as you are sup.
posed to get, these days.
Even the flowers of mint have some
thing magical about them. They are
curiously two-lipped, ever a. sign of a
highly-evolved plant family, for the
lower lip provides landing stage for
insects, while the beautiful lilacs and
purples of the flowers themselves are
lure to visiting winged things. The
deep, narrow throat of the flower
makes the insect work for the nectar
that it gets, and also traps him into
performing the work Of carrying
pollen from one flower to another.
Growing mint commercially is now
becoming a regular industry in this
country. The Department Of Agricul-
ture has imported seeds and plants
of the finest strains Of spearmint and
this is being raised in many States
of the middle latitudes, especially
Kentucky. AS a field crop it. makes
a lovely show at blooming time.
And when we think of mint there
comes inevitably to mind the other
fragrant plants of this beautiful fam
ily-lavender. that our grandmothers
loved so; thyme, that the Greeks made
famous, and citronella. proof against
mosquitoes. It is sometimes asserted
that mosquitoes will not come where
citronella grows, but this is not true.

to an accumulation of stove
backing. Sand paper rubbed
over the surface will make 1t as
smooth as when new.
To remove a fresh grease spot

When making bread and but
ter pudding sprinkle each slice
of bread and butter with des-
located cocoanut instead Of cur
rants and strew some on the
top. This will make a change
from the ordinary pudding and
will be found very tasty.

The family names in this group
were in the first instance merely de-

probably from Hans the Gloomy" or

HOW 1T STARTED
By JEAN NEWTON.
Crescent"

When we hear this word used. the
imagination fits naturally to the
crescent moon. And it is, of course,
with reference to the new moon that
it Is most familiar in common
speech. However, the word is cor
rectly used with reference to any
thing that is Of the shape of the new
moon. The crescent, incidentally, has
been the national emblem of the
Turkish empire.
Strangely. the origin of the word
has no reference to the crescent's
curve, nothing of which an inkling
might be found in the syllables of
the word. For crescent" derived
from the Latin "crescere," means
simply to increase! And it is from
the circumstances that the new
moon increases until the full orb is
reached. growing larger with each
passing night, that it was called, in
early times, crescent" the word
taking its place in our language for
anything of the same shape.

Clotted Cream.

Put some new milk into large pan
and let it stand in a cold place for
12 hours or less in warm weather.
Place the pan at the side Of the kitch-
en- stove and let the milk heat very
slowly. 1t must reach ITO to 1SO de-
grees Fahrenheit, but on no account
must it be allowed to boil. The more
slowly it is heated the better. When
the milk has been scalded remove the
pan to a cool place and leave it until
the next day, then skim off the cream.
Wide shallow enamel or aluminium
pans should be used.

that has been done by the park

According to the census these 5,OOO,-
900 should be understood as represent
ing only those persons who have had
no schooling whatever. During the

not write a letter home or read a

Mr.. Miller had a schedule showing
the percentage of illiteracy in the As
states of the Union. Iowa ranks first
with an average of IL per cent, while
Louisiana brings up the end of the
list with an average of 21.9. Colorado
is 18th in the list, her average being
80 Nebraska. Idaho, Oregon, Kansas,
South Dakota, Washington, Minnesota,
Utah. North Dakota, Wyoming Indi-
