Carlotta looked so exasperated
that she seemed to be trying to
check a desire to scream. With.
out another word, she caught
Sally's arm,- and with her stepped
into the Ford.

narrow streets of the village

curious glances of country people.
Presently with a jerk they drew
up before an old grey house,
badly in need of paint and re-
pairs. The driver got down.

"Oh, joel! Z. Joe, there's
a party here that wants to see
you. Are you drunk, Joa:"
Sally was in the hallway with
Carlotta. An immense. sleepy
eyed man, with a shock of red
hair confronted them. He grinned
toothlessly. His face was notified
with tiny veins, and the hallway,
the very house, seemed permeated
with the odor Of rye whisky.

Select some good, tart apples and
peel them, then cut them in about
one-inch cubes. Fry the bacon in a
heavy skillet. As soon as the slices
of bacon are crisp, remove and drain
them on clean brown paper. For
frying the apples you will need about
one-fourth cupful of the bacon fat.
Put the apples In the hot bacon fat,
and pile them up rather high in the
frying pan. Sugar to taste. Be sure
you use enough sugar. as apples fried
in this way require a little more sugar
than ordinarily fried apples. Cover
the apples. Cook slowly until tender,
then remove the cover and turn the
apples gently, so that the pieces will
keep their shape. Let them brown
lightly. They will then be trans
parent. Place them on a hot platter
and surround them with crisp bacon.
The sugar and bacon make a sort Of
strip with delicious favor If you
don't especially want the bacon, you
can use some leftover bacon fat. The
apples will be just as good.

This year there is a decided con.
trast between the evening clothes
worn by the women who have al
ready caught the spirit of the new
season and those who are still cling
ing to the fashions of the Winter.
Women dressed in the new evening
clothes look like butterflies. in frocks
that are bright in color but at the
same time soft and lovely. These
simple, airy frocks are in marked
contrast to the rather gorgeous,
heavily beaded, deliberately orna-
mented frocks that were in favor dur
ing the Winter There is something
very light and butterfiy-like even in
the frocks that are embroidered in
beads made of metal tissue.
The fashion for lanes and other
metallic tissue has not passed, but
the new materials of this sort are
surprisingly light. Taffetas in clear.
light colors suggestive of flower
petals are frequently used, too, for
the new evening frocks, but the new
taffetas conform to the present de-
mand that all evening fabrics must

Friday, March IL.

Astrologers read tomorrow as rather
an unimportant day in planetary di-
rection. 1t is a time for pursuing
routine duties.
Under this direction of the stars
there may be a feeling of discomfort
and a tendency to criticise ones con-
dition in life. There should be deter
mined self-discipline while this con-
figuration prevails.
Gossip may he prevalent under this
sway and the tendency to believe the
worst may cause heartaches. 1t is
wise to bride the tongue.
Trade with South America and
China is to develop amazingly, despite
all signs to the contrary, astrologers
predict.
Again 1t is foretold that America
will add many new millionaires to the
already long list, for there will be
