come back
"Oh, yeS-ycS
Another long kiss, and then the
stareroom door was flung open ana the
crowd burst out on them. -
"Good-by. Jimmy, good-by. Don
flo anything I wouldn't when YOU get
to Paris. Look out for the flying
fish"
Foolish, nonsensical phrases which
struck Betty as incongruous at this
time Of course. it was different with
these friends of Jimlny's. To her 1t
meant that she was giving up every
thing sweet in life.
Up on the deck people were swarm
in5 down the Gangplank.. AL about
them were people taking last fare
wells. Again Jimmy caught her up
against him, but this time her cheeks
were wet The tears had come, un-
hidden. She hadn't been able to hold
them back.
I'm sorry, dear" she gasped, her
voice choking.
And then she was stumbling down
the gangplank after the others. and
they were all huddled together on the
wharf while Jimmy stood bareheaded
on the deck. How handsome he
looked as he stood there shouting gay
remarks down to them. There was
only one Jimmy.

China's Sorrow.

The Great ,Hwang River is known
as China's sorrow, on account of its
fidgety way Of changing its course.
Over it's lower courses 1t flows
through a delta that it has made, fill
ing in an ancient bay of the ocean.
This delta, is fertile with the soils
washed down from other parts OF
China, correSpondingly laid bare DE
the river. and hence is densely popu'
lated. Several centuries ago it
changed its course to the southwark.
destroying millions Of lives: then IN
1851 it shifted back again to its old
bed a hundred miles to the north,
again rushing in on a countryside as
densely populated as the suburbs OF
New York There for a time it rests;
nobody knows when it may get Whim-
sical again.
Now, what do you know about
that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
I. The advantages of water power
over coal power are it's cheapness, its
permanency and it's cleanliness.
2. Niagara Falls is not used to
capacity for water power; if it were
all the water would be. diverted to
turn turbines and the falls could only
run on Sundays.
g. Sweden makes more use of its
water power than any other country.
T. Tides are used for water power
in Holland, England, Nova Scotia, etc.
s. The disadvantages Of tidaf
power are that it is Intermittent and
that the ocean in storm is strong
enough to destroy any sort Of mill.
s. The only form Of power that
costs nothing and involves essentially
no property rights Is wind power; it's
disadvantages are obvious.

Sumner Sandwich.

A hearty sandwich for supper may
be made by slicing q loaf Of bread
lengthwise in four slices. after remov-
ing all the crusts, then buttering 1t.
Spread one slice with a chicken or
fish salad and cover with a second
slice. On this spread egg salad, and
cover. On the third slice put chopped
stuffed olives, or thin slices Of tomato,
and spread with mayonnaise. Put in
a pan and cover with a light weight.
When ready to serve, slice with a
very sharp knife. This is very at
tractive if alternate slices Of white
and whole wheat bread are used. It
forms hearty meal with milk and
perhaps a lettuce salad.

find that raking u lawn is essential to
having it velVety and beautlful. But
il is possible to rake u lawn SO much
that the grass itself is uprooted.
Plants must be watered and tended,
but TOO much water rots the roofs.
Trees must he pruned. but too much
pruning is harmful. and if done at the
wrong season kills them By draining
off the ife-glving sap and uncoverine
too much of the inner surface. Home
makers should occasionally think o!
this aspect of overcare for things.
There are such things as too careful
housewives, too protectively careful
mothers, too precautionary careful
husbands and wives.
Marring Pleasures.
Too careful housewives rub and
scrub, polish and clean until everys
thing about the home is immaculate,
but the pleasures of happy home life
are dimmed. Things are too good to
be used. They become articles on
which to expend labor rather than
articles to be enjoyed in the using.
Moreover in such overcarefulnesS the
housewife wears herself out, and she
is of far more importance than the
things. The right, sense of proper
llttIIS Is IOSl. ne IlOIIle IIltJ AOoh
wonderfully well kept, but it Is not in
viting. 1t has lost one of the ele'
ments Of home, which is a charming
hostess. 1t has instead a worn, fret
full housewife. 1t has lost also in its
inviting hoSpitable attractiveness.
OverprOtectiOn.
Parents who are too protectingly
careful of their children hinder their
best development. Al child who is
tied to his mothers apron strings
loses initiative and charm. He Is not
helped in acquiring knowledge of how
to get along best in the world He sci
dom gets along well with people, and
eventually he either 'kicks over the
traces" by refusing to be coddled
longer, or he becomes a weak person
ality. Too much protection and too
much care prove detrimental.
Precautionary Care.
While it cannot be said that hus.
bands and wives can be too attentive
to each other, there is a precautionary
care that neither likes. I know Of one
wife who had been i'll and her husband
continued to think of her as sick long
after her health was restored. She
must promise to lie down, and not t.
do this or that during the time when
he was away at business. The wife
found it tiresome, and said to me once
in q kindly but rather plaintive way:
II sometimes wonder if too much
care isn't as bad as too little"
Tiresome Care.
Husbands, too. dislike to have wives
always reminding them not to forget
1,ri, nh hn m "a nm
brellas, etc. Such wives almost always
are back seat chauffeurs" when
motoring. These precautions are not
attentions. They get tiresome. The
wives are not nags. but they are over
careful, which Is almost as bad.
And so we find that even care must
be exercised in our very carefulness.
We must use it with judgment, so
that it helps the homes to be righ.
and the family to have its best de
velopment without losing initiative.

CHAPTER Nil.


JiuonH's ship sailed at midnight.
1-n,il the actual day Of his leave
taking Betty tried 10 keep the thought
of his going out of her mind. There
were gay farewell parties given by
his various friends and Jimmy seemed
more in love with her than ever. lie
was more openly affcctonate. lie
talked more than ever of their future
together, SO that when she was with
him She. ,lelutled herself into the belief
that She was happy. 1t was only
when he had left her after some gay
affair and the glamour of his pres
ence was no longer with her that
doubts and fears rrept in and a little
fear settled around her heart.
And vet september was not so far
away. Only the Summer months 10
he lived through and then with the
cool days of Fail She would he mar
ried. She would belong 10 Jimmy for
ever. and not only that, but he would
have made good in the way he want
cd The DAYS ahead would stretch
ont magiCallY like a string of gay
..olored beads She would be glad
then that they had waited, rs he kept
telling her over and over. And after
alt didn't she trust him fully? IL
was only that she would miss him so.
How could she help ii after he had
been in her Nfe for ali this time?
There WaS.a gay party at the steam
,~niu. The ArrowsmthS and several
If their friends, Alice. Griffith and Bob
Marshall. Nelna Graham with one OF
tEe men wh6 had been present at the
New Years party and several others.
They were ali .Timmy'S friends. but
then that was to he expected. NO
wonder every one wanted to give him
4 prorer sendoff. Every one loved
Jimmy-tnerc was no one IN the
world like him
Tho small statnrnon seemed crowd
ed with people. who sat about laugh
ing and talking. ToastS were drunk,
the conversation was light and frivo-
lous. Every one SeeRed very happy
and Betty tried to enter into the spirit
Of tGt, occasion She would not let
herself think ahead, She tried TO tell
herself how much worse ii would
have been if she had met Jimmy
during the war and Sn" was sending
aim away 10 real danger
This was nothing. He would he
back before she had realized he had
been away. She mustn't he a coward;
She wouldn't maxi" an idiot OF her
self and cry. Jimmy would hate that.
And then at last came the order 10
go ashore" From surrounding state
rooms people began to move up to the
decks. Jimmy, flushed and excited,
came over 10 her abruptly and drew
he,' out into the temporarily aban-
uonesl corridor. closing the door be
hind him.
For a long moment he strained her
% him. lifting her face TO his and
kissing her again and again

side first and then turned and Drowned
on the other side and removed to a

We have fewer vegetable meals
than previously. Here, again. we
need only remind readers that this is
done according to a plan, that OF
thinking Of the weekly variety as well
as of the daily variety. The majority
Of the food served during the week Is
dnexpensive. To give the corned beef
q touch Of "dressiness'' cut the slices
very thin ana arrange very carefully
on a bed Of hot buttered cabbage,
spreading a bit Of horseradish sauce
on top Of the meat. II this is done
carefully the color combination can
be made very appetizing.

Now that the Autumn days are
coming we have returned for the
most part to hot cooked cereals. Not
that the already prepared ones need
be entirely discarded, but they should
be used more by way of variety. Hot
home cooked mush is cheaper and in
some ways moro satisfactory for
Autumn and Winter breakfasts.
We have featured crab meat at one
of the meals. This is distinctly an
expensive touch and should be used
only occasionally by way Of treat.
There is something so appetizing
about the crab fakes either combined
with plain salad dressing or served a
la Newburg as to make it an almost
universally popular dish.
Corn pone Is suggested and we have
pumpkin pie and squash pie. Hub
bard squash, by the way, makes a
delicious substitute for pumpkin or
one to serve by way OF variety. Cod
fish omelette is served at one Of the
breakfasts. The mixture Is prepared

A Youthful Neck.

The neck is so easy to keep soft and
youthful looking that 1 often wonder
why SO many women let theirs look
old 20 years before they need to. If
YOU do nothing else, spread thick
layer Of a good flesh building cold
cream over the neck and let it stay on
while YOU massage your face or have
Your bath. Then the skin will take up
some Of the oils and fats. and benefit
thereby
Better vet is massage. after a hot
wash to open the pores. The heat and
the friction Of the massage will work
more cream into the skin than it
would absorb by itself Besides. the
massage will stimulate the skin. and
the glands under the skin and the
circulation Of the blood. remakinS the
skin, keeping it new and fresh. AL
most any sort of amateur massage
will do, since the chief object is
merely is to stimulate.

wrinkles across the front Of the neck
