Some day." she says to herself,

awfully mean to leave Aunt Emma
when she's getting old-but she is
driving me to it." And a great
lump Of anger and hurt rises in
Aileen's throat and chokes even
her thoughts.
Once upon a time she didn't
hate to go home at night. Her
heart was warm to the Aunt
Emma who had given her a home
since her own mother had died
when she was II. No, she didn't
exactly love her. She was too
taken up with herself-with her
fine shape and her lovely skin

So 1t wasn't hard to come home
at nights and they made a happy
home between them-the big,
noisy woman and the awkward,
timid young girl. ~
Then two years ago, when Aunt
Emma was 43 and Aileen 20,
something happened. Almost over
night, Aunt Emma's beauty
seemed to wither. Her lovely
shape vanished and she grew
knobby IN some spots, scrawny
in others. Her carefully tended

'sDons the tower e Pisa lean
because 1t was built that
way or because the foundations
have settled?'' asks . reader, re-
peating q question that has been
asked by thousands Of travellers
In the past and that continues TO
interest the growing throngs OF
tourists who pour into Italy every
year.
This marble tower IL one Of
the minor exposures or the earth.
1t il interesting both as an ar
notable monument in the history
of science connected, like the
swinging lamp in the beautiful
cathedral beside II, with the Inn
mortal name Of Calico.
It rises out Of a broad marble
floored well. sunk several feet, be-
low ground level. It has a height
Of N79 feet. and leans toward the
south, over 16 feet out Of the per-
pendicular.
It is shaped like q round cylin-
der. with thick walls and hollow
core, and has several superposed
stories. A winding stairway leads
to the top. but the ascent is
rather too much for nervous
people, who grow dizzy as they
creep round the lower side Of the
sloping spiral. The wise Italians
do not permit excitable or tin1id
persons to ascend the tower
unattended.
Used to End Lives
There were formerly suicides
by jumping, provoked possibly by
the uniquenesS of the environ.
ment. Even as viewed from the
secure level of the ground the
abrupt inclination Of the massive
tower Is startling.
Calico used this tower as a
huge outdoor laboratory 20 DEM
onstrate to incredulous theolo-
gians and Aristotelians the law OF
gravitation, which was we'll known
to him experimentally long be-
fore Newton attacked 1t mathe-
matically. 1t appears that the
tower leaned somewhat less In
his day than it does now. 1t
could hardly have been designed
better for his purpose. From the
overhanging verge he dropped
cannon balls OF various weights.
He already knew that they would
all strike the ground together, but
he wanted to convince the doubt
ers who had been misled by
Aristotle-for Aristotle had had
his pet theory, like some modern
scientists. He thought that
heavy weight ought always to
drop faster than a light one.
Calico showed, with the aid
of the conveniently leaning tow
err, that gravity drew them all
down, heavy and light together,
at the same speed, barring the
slight effects of air resistance.
1t was as admirable a piece OF
publicity as has ever been seen.
Why 1t Leans
To return from this reminder
Of the Pisa towers chief claim
to glory to the question Of how
1t came to lean, 1t needs only
to be said that, while some have
thought that the inclination was
Intentional, yet the prevailing
opinion is that 1t was altogether
accidental. Indeed, a somewhat
detailed history of the leaning
of the tower has been made up
from various records. The work
was begun in 1174, and, when
the tower had reached G. height
of about IS feet, the foundation
sank on the southern side. But

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland

These Modern Wives
WOMEN no longer exchange re-
w cipes for. angel food and
popovers, across the back fence;
but they manage to exchange q
lot Of little domestic recipes
over their ash-trays and jeweled
cigarette holders.
Among the favorite hints"
passed from wife to wife, are:
How to know when your mar.
rlage Is going to "jell"-or why
it refuses to "set."
How to make an old husband
tender and sweet-after picking
him clean.
How to draw an admission, .
confession or q compliment out
of a husband, without a vacuum
cleaner.
How to regulate the flame OF
a mans devotion and keep love
simmering along, at an even
temperature.
When to add a pinch Of sugar
to all you say to man-and
when to take q grain Of salt
with What he says to you.
How to keep a man from spoil
ing" himself.
How to feed a man flattery,
so discreetly, that 1t will neither
give him enlargement Of the ego
or sentimental indigestion.
How to keep the 'love-moths'
away from a husband, when you
leave him alone In the city all
summer ~ and how to get the
kinks out Of his habits and morals,
when you return.
Whether to season the domestic
relations with reticence or with
frankness or with equal Quanti-
ties of each.

made it all wither. For she was
stopping she was witherins;.
And slowly her fury began to
concentrate on Aileen. The year
that had faded Aunt Emma had
brought Aileen to bloom! Che
was warm and glowing and rosy
sweet, like a bud just opening.
The glances that had once been
for Aunt Emma now fell at
Aileen's little feet. The invita-
tions that had come for Aunt
Emma were now addressed to
Aileen.
Aileen was young-Aunt Emma
was growing old. Envy raised a
Jagged sword between them.
So now Aunt Emma picks and
nags, jeers and suspects. She
doesn't mean to. She doesn't
realize she Is doing this; at the
core of her heart she Is still
the same kindly, childish woman.
But this hatred of age and
jealousy of youth works like
poison in her. And the pity of
it is that neither she nor Aileen
know what Is the matter and
neither have the wisdom to heal
the hurt that is separating them.
Many a home is being wrecked
by this same hurt. Many a
mother turns against her own
daughter as Aunt Emma has
turned against Aileen. The breech

poison Is at work just the same.

And Youth answers with cruel
hate. Yet II each knew the

Certain beaters and mixers have
been on the market for some time, hut
great many women still use old
fashioned arm power for stirring up
cake or mixing batter. Not only do
the mechanical mixers save your
arms, but they do a more even end
thorough job of the mixing. These
cake mixers are useful for batters of
all kinds, and they beat eggs, whip
cream, cream butter and sugar and
thoroughly mix any combination OF
liquids and solids for cooking. The
mixer can be clamped to a table, bold
ing it steady, which leaves both your
hands free for the turning and pour
ing in of the ingredients.
Asbestos pads to keep saucepans
and kettles from burning come in
various styles and sizes. There are
plain round ones with tin rims, those
reinforced with wire gauZe on one
side, with or without handles; sc!ne
with tin on one side and large square
ones for baking pans. These pads
may go directly over the flames with
out injury or be placed in the oven
to keep the heat from any special
part of cooking.
Glass kitchen utensils are practical
for many purposes. as they never be-

odors, and are also very easily clean

care, whether on the table or in the
refrigerator so that glass is a very
