Elmer and Miriam are going to be
married in January. Neither one has
nickel. Elmer's health is poor. he
also has an aged mother to support.
But we can both work." says Mir
lam. Between us We'll manage some
how. Don't you think that things are
bound to come right, Elsie, if people
really love each other? l suppose I'm
old fashioned, but I do believe that
marriages are made in heaven and
that two souls can become one. Ev-
cryone' tells me that I'm foolish to
take such risk. They say we ought
to wait few years. But 1 know that
just as soon as we're married every
thing will be all right. For love does
work miracles, doesn't it, Elsie?"
And so on and on and on.
Do l agree with Miriam?
Do you? .
Do you think THAT marriage can
make two souls one or work miracles?
1 DON'T.
It's beautiful dream, but it won't
work.
1t won't work because it's against
the whole plan of physical and spir-
itual evolution.
Whether or not you believe that
your remote great grandpa was an
ape, it is indisputable that we're all
in a process of evolution. We're all
struggling, experimenting, adapting,
changing, rushing on, falling back,
learning, unlearning, fighting. shaping
ourselves or unshaping ourselves.
And each one Of us is doing it alone.
1t can't be done any other way.
We start alone, we live alone, we
die alone.
Other people can help us and love
us. But no one. can ever be part of
us. We must work out our own des-
TIMES because that is the only way in
which destinies can be worked out.
And that's why We make tragic
mistake when we bank on miracles in
marriages.
Marriage won't perform any psy-
chic alchemy on TWO separate lives.
1t won't act as q magic solvent for
human troubles. 1t won't make an
utterly impractical and absurd union,
practical and sensible. 1t won't smooth
away loneliness and stupidity, petit
ness and malice, laziness and coward
ice.
1t won't alter the individuals who
enter it. in the least.
1t will simply give them a chance
TO do teamwork. If they have sweet
enough spirits, strong enough spines
and wise enough brains to do good
team work, then marriage will be q
success. If they haven't, it won't.
In other words, marriage is a splen-

Recipes With
Sausages
By Hannah Wing

On the question of sausages at least
the weather man and the market man
are agreed. Scarcely does the cold
weather sharpen our appetites TO the
point here sausages and griddle cakes
or waffles appeal before they appear
on the market.
Sausages are particularly nice with
apples in n variety Of ways and al
ways need to be served with a tart
Jelly of some sort.
An old-fashioned method OF cook
ing sausage in the country-which is
their native habitat-serves them with
cream gravy after this fashion. When
cooking sausage in castings prick the
skins with a steel fork to prevent
their bursting. If cooking in bulk,
shape the sausage meat into balls with
the hands.
Place them in a hot frying pan and
fry until brown, adding no fat, as there
will generally be plenty in the meat.
When done remove the sausage to a
platter. Pour off all but one table
spoonful OF fat, add one tablespoon of
dry flour and cook one minute. stir
ring all the time; then gradually add
one cup of milk, still stirring. When
the gravy is boiling and is Of q creamy
consistency, add salt and pepper 10
taste, pour the gravy over the sausage
and serve.
The French make one of their COM
bination dishes with sausage using
both eggs and peas. Cut six or eight
sausages in pieces about an inch long
and brown them in the frying pan.
When well Drowned remove from the
pan, pour off all the fat except one
tablespoon, add to it one tablespoon of
flour and when Drowned add one-half
cup water or milk. When the sauce
is thick put in the pieces of sausage,
onc-half cup of peas and four beaten
eggs. Pour. into a baking dish and
bake in a slow oven until the eggs
arc set.
Sausagcs also make nice break
fast dish placed inside a toasted hol-
lowed roll and Drowned.
Fried sausage with fried or baked
apples and crisp salad is favorite
sausage menu. Hot cornbread also be-
longs with these dishes.
Many times sausages arc hidden
within Il casserole dish in which a
crust of baking powder biscuit dough
or mashed sweet or white potatoes or
rice or hominy forms the covering.
Carrots. onions and peppers are likely
TO be found along with the sausages in
such dish.

II there is n more gracious manner
Of being introduced.
G. G.
Will you permit me to correct the
wording of your question: One of
the first things to remember about in
Productions is that the gentleman is
presented TO the lady. Therefore. your
question should read: "A young man
was presented 10 me-"
In acknowledging an introduction,
the phrase, How do you do" is the
accepted thing to say. The one who
leaves first. whether the lady of gem
tlcman. may say. ii he or she wishes,
"Good-by. | am very glad to have
met YOU" And, if especial enthusiasm
is to be- registered, this addition may
be made: Il hope that l am 10 see
you again very soon."
(2) l agree with you that it is very
embarrassing to be led around the
room and introduced in the manner
that you describe. Ii is never good
form for hostess to do this. III
stead, she should introduce you 10
some Of the friends standing near her
when you arrive. and not attempt TO
introduce each guest 20 everybody In
the room. The few introductions that
she makes spreads" and one friend
introduces another. And. also, As

fdid adventure, if you're capable Of put
ting splendor into it.
But great part of romance is the
bunk, i think.
That's why Americans have the
most romantic theories about marriage
and also more divorces than any other
nation in the worls.
Europeans want happiness and ten
derncss, too, but they don't try to
buck common sense while searching
for them. They know that the love
excitement can't be made permanent.
They know that two people can't be
made one. So they start marriage on
sensible business basis and then try
to live up to it.
And thereby save themselves a lot
of grief.
Then itsn't il possible to find endur-
ing love and loyalty, beauty and bliss
in marriage?
1t surely is.
But it isn't going to happen to you
automatically, like the measles.
You won't arrive at it by viewing
Is moonlights, swapping 81 locks of
hair, rosebuds, mash notes and etcr-
nal vows and then swooning up to
some altar. That's Romance and If
you think Romance alone will do the
trick, you're off to a bad start and
you're bound to flop. But if you'll
tackle marriage with the pep, patience
and perspicacity that you'd use on
any other job, you'll stand a chance to
win. And it's the only way you will
stand chance.

II a patent shoe pinches any part
of the foot, rag well soaked in boil
ing water should be placed over the

The worlds largest loud speaker is

straight tail and that nothing ever

little head.
/ had to laugh, however, when Bun.
ny said:
Il got mine caught in door once,
but i guess there wasn't enough to

That evening we stayed at q little

Bunny suddenly gave leap aud land

Something had frightened him and
soon found out what it was. for
right around the corner OF the house
came a big black cat. Bunny must
have smelled him before he came into

pocket safe and sound for q moment
before the cat appeared.

Stockholm Evicts Tenants
 Who Pay Too Little Rent
(By Associated Press)

STOCKHOLM, Apr. 16.-A land lord who puts out his tenants when they become too prosperous, in order to make room for poorer ones, pre- ferably those with children, is the curious spectacle presented by the city of Stockholm As there is a shortage in housing, the city has ordered those who can afford to pay higher rents to move in order to pro- vide homes for those with less means, many of whom are now living in temporary shelters.
 It is only after careful investiga- ton, however, that the city authOri- ties give a tenant notice. Thus, out of 500 families proposed for ejection this year, only 200 have been select ed. These are chiefly bachelors or childless couples whose incomes are they pay and special consideration out of all proportion to the low rent has been shown for aged couples who have lived for a long time in the same quarters. By next fall the city hopes to have adequate dwell ings for all the wartime squatters.
