Both tomatoes and pears may be

layers of salt. Let them stand over
night. In the morning drain off the
liquid and pour on fresh water. Drain
and renew the water, allowing the
tomatoes to stand in the water for an
hour or more. Allow two cupfuls of
sugar to each quart of the tomato

Pear Conserve.
In making pear conserve, peel and
core the pears and cut them either

same ingredients as for tomato con-

less sugar; one and a half cupfuls to
the quart may be sufficient. Sour
oranges may be substituted for lemons

The herman may appear in print,
but you aren't likely to meet him in
the street. I see him sheiking his
way on the screen, but he never gets
around to the dances where / am
invited. You see the cake eaters 10
times to the steak eaters once.
Girls are so funny, for the gentler
they are the rougher they want their
sweeties to be. It's always beauty
who desires the beast. and it's the
peachy girl who likes the rough-hnish
face.
The girls Of today have made them
selves so mannish that they make the
men think they want them womanish.
Just to keep up the average. We have
popularized the safety razor, school
girl complexion, and trick coat with
pleats and belt.
1t wasn't long ago that the papers
told us how half million men use
cosmetics. Yes, but use them "se-
cretly," if that can be done. What
are we coming to when the men steal
our stuff, but don't steal us?
The times have changed since we
began to have daylight-saving time.
Time was when 1t was the boys am
bition to become a prizefighter. but
now they want to be nothing but
movie stars. Father says that when
he was young it was a fellows chief
ambition to chin himself with one
hand. Well. men still chin them
selves, but it is in a different way.
We girls ought to send out a call
or insert an lad" for steak eaters.
We can read about these hard guys,
but we want to talk with 'em. If
there are any cave men left, all they
can do Is to invite us to a tearoom.
Women may have been affected by
their association with men, but the
men themselves have felt more of the
feminine influence. A man can't spend
all his time in the vicinity of
a powder puff and not succumb to it's
softaning influence.
1t may be different when the Boy
Scouts grow up, but, dear knows, that
time Is flying and we can't wait for
those kids to raise boards.
We want some real steak eaters to
take the place of the pastry hounds,
whose chief ambition is to dance.

CHAPTER KILN.
Nan Goes Back.

Marcia's hard young voice pounding
out her words relentlessly, regardless
of Mans feelings, ceased at last
With an effort she pulled herself up
from the couch and went over to
Nan.
"You think Tn rotten. don't you?
But listen, dear; it wouldn't 40.
You're not thinking at all or you'd
know that"
Marcia's words, you're not think
ing!" repeated themselves over and
over in Mans brain. 1t was true.
She wasn't thinking very far. Not
beyond tomorrow or the next day.
Since Toms death she had forced her
mind to work like that. But some
where, way in the back of her brain
she knew that Marcia was right.
She lifted her face at last. There
were no tears in her eyes.
"I'm thinking now" she said evenly,
land you're right. I'll go back"
Long after she had left Marcia lay
among the pillows. thinking. There
was something about this thing that
she didn't quite understand, because
she couldn't imagine not being able to
adjust herself if she had been placed
in the same situation. But Marcia
was harder than Nan, and much less
sensitive, and, of course. she had no
conception at all of the state of af-
fairs between Nan and her husband.
Nan took a taxi. Strange that she
always had plenty of money to do
that now. In the old days--but she
mustn't think of the old days. She
must force herself to think ahead, and
more than a day at time, too.
The entrance to the Park avenue
apartment struck her as a little alb.

IIilda opened to her ring.
There was something about Hilda
that Nan vaguely mistrusted, perhaps
it was only because she felt intuitive-
ly that the girl didn't like her. At
any rate, it was enough to make for
an uncomfortable feeling. She felt
uncomfortable now.
Hilda closed the large outer door,
and turned around quickly.
"Mr. Lee telephoned"
Nan whirled about.
"Yes, Hilda?"

Tuesday. September 6.

Another rather threatening day is
foretold by astrologers, who find that
adverse stars dominate.
It is a day menacing for CONNER
cial venture, and foreshadows much
speculation, especially in grains.
There is a sign read as foreshadow-
ing a struggle over aviation problems
of the Government and much bitter

Under this direction of the stars,
there may be an inclination to pass
hasty judgment on public men and
public questions.
In the home, as well as in places of
business. the wise will refrain from
speaking hastily. for there is much
misunderstanding under this rule of
the stars.
Envy and jealousy may be unusu-
ally apparent in human relations at
this time, when the personal equation
may be too strong.
Selffishness. said to be more com.
mon than formerly, is one of the hui
man traits supposed to be encouraged
by this planetary government.

must accept heavy responsibility in

This should be a lucky day for

my hair once a week. is that too
often? I never curl it with hot irons.
Is lemon juice beneficial to the hair?

Answer--Excessive oiliness of the
hair may sometimes be traced to poor
physical condition or to nervousness
The first step in improving the ap-
pearance of the hair is, therefore, to
build up radiant health. See that your
weight is normal for your age and
height; be sure to get enough sleep
at night, take daily outdoor exercise
and watch your diet. Once a week is

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

Let the baby a little alone. Begin
by letting him lie in his crib and kick
and wave his arms and amuse him
self by exploring the first field he dis
covers, his crib and the power in
his legs and arms. When he can
kick hard set something against the
foot of his bed SO he can push harder.
When he can clutch a ball give him
one that he can squeeze hard.
When he gets about the floor give
him a tin pan and a few clothes pins,
or something equally friendly and
laxative, and let him alone. 1t is
good to let him sit in the next room
where he can hear you. see you once
in while. yet be by himself.
Remember not to talk too much or
too long to him. You will wear him

| Beside him, you are a dynamo Of en-
ergy. Keep off him. Let him alone
