DAUGHTERS OF TO-DAY
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR

AS n matter of fact, Arthur was
bewildered. lie wondered at himself
for being so entirely without emotion
Of any kind. He wondered what had
become of all his wild feeling for
Mimi. Once he had threatened to kill
himself if she refused to marry him;
now ii was a matter of supreme in
difference to him whether or not he
ever saw her again. 1t was strange,
to say the least.
OF course, the fact that he had SO
nearly precipitated a catastrophe was
largely responsible for this. For two
days he had believed himself a MUIR
derer. and 1t was only a piece of luck
that he wasn't. Blind rage had en-
veloped him that day. Arthur .shud-
dered whenever he thought of this.
Natalie had seen Lucien. and had
explained everything to him. lie had
tried to eXpostulate with her. The
thought of losing her. of having this
gay young personality slip out of his
life forever, seemed intolerable to
him. And yet Natalie seemed
changed. She was firmer, more seri
Gus. He could not move her; she
seemed entirely sure of herself, and
of the fact that their friendship WIS
over.
Until after she had said goodbye to
him Natalie did not realize how much
she had been seeing him. For weeks
she had lost track of the old crowd.
and now she was thrown back on her
self. because she felt no desire to
pick up her life where she had left it.
For this reason she was at home a
great deal. and the apartment was no
longer SO lonely as it had been. Hav-
ing Natalie with her made Martha
less lonely, and beside, John was stay
ing home a great deal.
Martha wondered at this, wondered
with a thrill Of her heart that was
vaguely disturbing. Sometimes when
they were in the living room after
dinner, she caught John looking ut
her from over the top of the news
paper. Catching her eye, he would
Immediately become absorbed in the
Wall Street reports, But Martha. had
seen and was curiously stirred by his
attitude. Had John actually taken
her remarks that afternoon seriously?
Had she succeeded In pene-
trating beneath his outer veneer OF
cold reserve, and had he any real
feeling in his heart for her?
81 think father Is falling in love
with you all over again. Natalie said
to her mother ono evening. And
Martha had flushed to the roots of
her hair. to Natalie's teasing delight.
Since Martha had confided in Ma
talie that Perry Macdonald was in
love with another woman, Eatalie's
feeling Of resentment toward him had
lessened. She no longer hated him
as she once had, and was sorry that
she had been so nasty to him at the
tea that afternoon. And then one
afternoon she met him on Fifth ave-
nue.. She saw him first, and when he
would have passed on without seeing
her she walked up to him and held
out her hand.

Readiustment.

In the days that followed life read
iusted itself in the Dennison family.
Not that things were strikingly diff

there was a change of a kind.

forged a link among all of them, and

ence TO the night when Arthur. Ma
talie and Martha as we'll mad defied
John.
Arthur. having satisfied himself
that nothing serious had resulted
from his impulsive act in MINIS

usual. He, more than any OF the
others. seemed changed. The JOY OF
living had gone out Of him; he was
subdued. grave, and for the first time
in months he appeared at the office
early and applied himself assiduously
to his work.

Comparative Weights and Measures
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| aid in this am giving today some OF
| the well established reckonlngS that
are accounted accurate. :.
! The old adage, "a pint is a pound all
| the world round" is disproven in
these comparative weights and meas
| ures, just as truly as it was by the
woman who kept store while her nus
band was out. A customer came in
for pound of shot. Remembering the
adage, and not finding the scales as
readily as the quart measure she gave
| the customer Il pint of shot. ThlS
being lead, he got the best of the bar
gain. In cooking we would often have
disastrous results if we reckoned on
this plan, though it is true in many
cases.
Cup Contents.
For instance, a cup of sugar, lard,
butter (sh,ortening) or rice is equal to
half a pound, while "a cup of flour
equals quarter of pound. Chopped
meat packed we'll into a measuring
cup weighs half a pound. 1t takes
two and half cupfuls Of powdered
sugar to make one pound, and but two
cups of granulated sugar for the same
weight.
Spoon Measurements.
When we come to ounces, we nnu
that one heaping tablespoon of sugar
weighs one ounce, while one heaping
tablespoon of butter weighs two
ounces. Butter the size of an egg
means one heaping tablespoon of the
fat or two ounces. Also sixteen table
spoons Qiquid measure) equals one
cup. Sixteen level tablespoons dry
measurel or eight rounded tablespoons
equal one cup. Whether the cup
equals one.half pound, more or less,
depends upon whether the ingredients
are -four, powdered sugar, butter, etc.
There are the two scale measure
mentS, the apotheCary and the averdu-
pois. The former requires but twelve
ounces TO the pound while tho latter
takes sixteen ounces. In kitchen
measurements of food the aVerdupoiS
is used.
Measuring Flour.
1t is we'll to remember that quart
of -four takes four heaping cupfuls.
That is, four level cupfuls are not
quart of -four. Even at this rate when
a recipe calls for 1t cup of flour, un-
less the flour has been Sitted well,
scant cup is full quantity for the
recipe. Sitting -four makes it more
feathery and light and so less of it is
needed to fill a cup, than when the
-four has settled. sometimes recipes
mention whether flour is to be Stfted
before or after measuring.
AS good results in cooking depend so
largely on accurate measurements. the
competent housewife is extremely
careful to use the exact amounts a
recipe calls for. 1t is helpful to know
comparative weights and measures.

NICE, France, March 10.-Helen
Wills, Americas tennis champion,
continues to show that she stands
far beyond the class of any player
left in the Nice tournament. She
won three matches today by one
sided scores, losing only two games
out of 49,
In the singles she disposed of Miss
Helen Shirley in two love sets, and
Miss Sally Maynard at 60, 6-1. In
the mixed doubles she and her part

defeated Mr.. and Mrs. DeDruyn Kops,
6-1, 60.
While the best of the French
players and other visiting stars have
been dropping out of Riviera compe-
tition through illness or staleness,
the American champion has remained
in good form. Tomorrow in the
singles she meets Miss Joan Ridley
a member of the British team which
recently toured South Africa, who is
expected to give her more competi-
ton than she had today. On the

ED WALSH OF THE CHISOX
MOST EFFICIENT SPITBA
HUREER

"Whom do you consider the great
est spitbalT pitcher in the history
of the game?"
My mail Of the other day brought
such an inquiry.
Since there are only a few spit
ball pitchers in the majors and the
delivery will soon be but a memory
continued the letter, 1--WE would well
come your opinion as to the relative
merits of the pitchers who have used
that style of delivery"
1t is rather difficult matter to
answer that query in one definite
sentence, since there are so many
angles to the situation.
Off hand 1 would say that Ed Walsh
of the Chicago White Sox was the
most effective of all spitball pitchers
have ever umpired.
However, I have in mind several
pitchers who had a more deceptive
spitball than Walsh His remarkable
effectiveness was a matter of con-
troll as well as break on the ball.
Walsh's splitter dipped only slight
ly but broke sharply. 1t is well
known fact that spitball is effective
only when pitched low. So uncanny
was Walsh's control that he seemed
able to keep it at the knee on every
pitch"

them into telegraphing the rhapsodic
sort of praise usual to this stage of
the baseball season.
Brooklyn, which is doing as much
if not more rebuilding than any other
major league club seems to have
found a partial solution to it's pitch-

two newcomers. One of them, Doug

righthander obtained from Memphis
by Brooklyn, also is displaying abil-

Play in the finals was even more
spectacular than during the preced-

shots were frequent by both teams.
The exhibition of putting by both
combinations at times was sensa-

of Smith on the green during the
afternoon proceed the winning factor
in his teams triumph.
Three times Smith executed sue
cessful puts to drop the ball in the
pit from unusual distances and 1t
was by this three-hole margin that
his team achieved victory. But while
Smith was blazing to the fore with
his puts, Diegel was suffering mis-
