TRES FIGURAS REPRESENTATIVES,
PARA oEL MuNDo,,

Ell afo 1893 fu6 terriblemente
tragico para Espaiia. Y no es solo
por ell hecho do1oroso de la perdida
material de los 1ltimos restos del
que un dfa fue immense y esplendi-
do imperio colonial, como pals al
guno tuvo jamas en- Ell mundo.
Lo peor, entonces fu6 ell supreme
desencanto de todo un pueblo.

asombro que todo 10 que habfamos
pensado que era grandeza, no era
mas que un prolongado sueflo de
pueblo enfermo, Y que toda nuestra
organization como naci6n, remain
sada en- Ell tempo, era cosa delez-
nable, que Sc deshacia a la primera
prueba. Tuvimos entonces la SEN
saci6n viva, sensation cruel de la
carne Y emocion desolada en- Ell al

mas que NADIA de nuestra soledad en-
Ell mundo.

Ello, sobre ser una inexactitud. es
tambien una injusticia. Acaso con

Keeping Food
Cold
By Hannah Wing

Late summer finds the refrigerator
crowded with pcrishables. Melons, to-
matoCs. odds and ends from preserving.
this and that to be used i'll salads
and lcft-ovcrs threaten to crowd the
legitimate space of milk and butter.
The struggle for supremacy is one of
dishes. Table dishes with their great
Iy sloping sides, bowls with their
roundness simply refuse TO save space
in the refrigerator. If the dishes con-
tanning food are covered with plates
and other dishes piled on top of them,
all circulation of the cold preservative
air is shut off and the food quickly
spOils.
Square dishes seemed the answer,
but where could square dishes be
found? Finally someone realized the
Importance of the situation and de-
viscd set of square dishes with tight
ly fitting covers. This made the sit
uation just as bad, if not worse than
before. The covers shut off all cir
culatiOn of air from the food inside the
dish, and the housewife stacked the
dishes so tightly together that as Of
ten as not no air could circulate
around them.
At last a solution has been found.
Special dishes for this special purpose
have been devised. They have covers
but they arc ventilated around the edge
so that the air can circulate freely
over the food. They are square, but
sides and ends are so gToOved that air
can circulate between and around the
dish at all times, and best of all they
are of glass, so that their1scontGnts
may be plainly seen.
Since these dishes are as alike as
two peas their contents must be visi-
BILE, otherwise it becomes necessary to
keep the refrigerator door open while
one implies and opens dish after dish
to get at the one desired.
The dishes are not expensive and
may be obtained in oven glass, so that
left-overs may be made ready forfthp
oven and put in the refrigerator all
ready for a quick transference to the
oven. When they are of glass there
is nothing to chip off, rust or in any
way become n source Of danger to the
food. The inner corners Of the dishes
are slightly rounded so that they may
be easily and thoroughly washed and
kept in a perfectly sanitary condition.

Procedure At Wedding

Dear Mrs. BcCCkman:
If the bride is to wear the convcn-
tional costume veil, etc, may the
bridegroom wear n business suit If the
wedding is to take place in the late
afternoon?
(2) Is only a blue serge business
suit for the bridegroom permissible or
may he wear a black with a pin
stripe?
CD May a married man act as best
man?
az If the bridegroom had previous
ly acted as best man for his brother,
is it customary for him 10 reciprOcatc
and ask the married brother to act IN
that capacity for him?
(5) Should not the best man. ush-
crs and father of the bride follow
the example of the bridegroom IN
dress?
(6) There are to be two brides.

friend. Is it Necessary to diffcrcntiatc
and call one maid Of honor" and
the other Il bridesmaid?

bridesmaids" how should they pro-
coed down the aisle of the church,
together or singly, preceding the bride:

For the bride to be formally dressed
and the bridegroom to be informally
dressed is incorrect. 1t gives a very
queer" effect. Either the bride
groom should plan to wear formal
clothes Getaway coat and dark striped

the plans for her wedding.
(2) There is no difference in these
varieties of informal clothes. Both
arc incorrect for a formal wedding.

for married man to act as best man.
Nowadays no distinction is made be.
tween unmarried and married people
for attendants, either for the bride oil
for the bridegroom.

while | warm up the engine.
Dear Miss Robinson:
This lady stuff | hear daily GER
tainly disgustS me. Why do the pCO-
pie in this country fail to show cduca'
ton and common sense i'll this mat
ter? Since lady" stands for we'll
bred woman. how on earth can the
word be used so lavishly for anybody
wearing n skirt? For instance, such
combinations as ''washlady' and
"Salcslady" are terrible, and disclose
the speaker as being void of common
education. ORNlL.
The trouble with you. Orvil, is that
you took the wrong train. You were
headed for some ritzy. refined, LITTLE
troubadour stage in the middle ages
and instead you hit large, shirt
sleeve democracy named America in
the year 1925. You got off at the
wrong station and you're certainly in
for an uncomfortable time. But since
you're here, and we've both got to
stand each other, you might rs well
absorb a few tips on the situation. And
I'm the hard-boilCd journalist that's
going to hand them to you.
In the first place get wise to this

FOXY GRANDPA'S STORIES
They Taste An Australian Delicacy.

We rode on and soon came right
under the cloud and there were the
native Australian bushmcn building
fires as fast as they could.
What is it? Some religious rite?"
l wondered.
But soon I saw differently. Be-
cause falling down out of the sky
from the very cloud which we had
sccn-wcre thousands of tiny things
and as soon as they fell on the
ground the natives gathered them up
in baskets.
And / could see by their faces that
they were very much pleased over
whatever it was they were gathering
SO eagerly.
Soon we were right by them and
will you believe me when l tell you
that it was hundreds and thousands
of insects that they were harvesting:
"Locusts," said Bunny. That big
cloud will keep them in food for a
long time"
You mean to say they eat them"

Sure" said Bunny.
How" l asked.
"You see, first they smoke them
down out of the sky. Then they bake
them until they are dry. They say
they are very good. and people who
have never eaten them before think
they are shrimp. Often they put
honey on them"
"Locusts and wild honey" I said
There was someone in the Bible who
lived on that in the wilderness" AND

Meditations of
a Wife
This Marriage.
By Helen Rowland

This Marriage.
A henpecked husband is one who has
had his keyring taken away from HIM /.
and put through his nose.
Sometimes. the difference between
being engaged and being married isi
merely the difference between keeping
a dim light burning in the living room
until midnight and keeping dim light
burning in the hall until morning. 1
Some men struggle out OF marriage.
others crawl out of it and others JUST
check out" of it, with perfect ease
and nonchalancc. ,
No man realizes what a well regu- /,
lated and unevcntful life he has BEEN
leading until his wife and his stenog-s
raphcr happen to 20 on their yaca-'
tions at the same time and leave HIM
to his own diversions.
Many a perfectly good husband IS,
like an extension table; he expands,
only for company and shuts up with
a snap when they are gone.
A man is never half so proud at
the thought of getting into the Hall of
Fame us he is Of getting chummy with
the traffic policeman on the corner.
When n man is fishing, hunting or
thinking he wants no woman around
but there never seems to be n tins
when woman cant do what she's do
| ing better because mans eye hap
| pens to be on her.
Marriage, alas, is like motor-car
by the time the engine gets running
nicely and they've learned when to put
ON the brakes, most people are tired
of it and looking for a new one.
The wCdding-ring is getting so In
conspicuous. that some day some care
less bridegroom is going to get all
mixed up and find himself married
with \ kcy-ring.
Adam was fortunate in losing only
rib when he married; lots Of men
seem to lose their entire backbone.

When washing windows or mir

and ordinary starch, and apply. When
this has dried on the glass, rub off
quickly with a soft cloth and a bright
polish will be the result.
