w EDLOCKED
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR.

How short their life together had
beeR-and how perfect. If only he had
lived to see Muriel,
But she mustn't think of such
things. Her life was different now.
She was married to Martin Lee, and
no matter whether she loved him or
not she must be fair and honest.
Mans hair was short and naturally
wavy. 1t was very heavy. AS she
brushed 1t back from her forehead,
staring at herself in the glass and yet
seeing nothing, it glistened under the
strong lights of her dressing table.
Never had she dreamed of having
such a perfectly appointed dressing
table. Not that such things mattered
in the least. Her hair had looked
just as well when she had brushed it
in the bathroom of the apartment she
had shared with Tom. But it was fun
to sit down before a cream-enameled
table, with all kinds of fascinating
bottles before her. 1t was fun to ex-
pertinent with this lotion or with that.
She drew on peach-colored stockings,
and put on her new black satin pumps
with the cut-steel buckles. They made
her feet look incredibly small!
Yes, she unused, Martin had been
wonderful to her, and she would repay
him for it. Strange what a difference
it meant, having money! And yet she
| had never wanted money. She had
| had more happiness in the short time
| she had lived with Tom than she
would ever experience again. She
knew that.
The black georgette dress was
| intricate.
It tied around the throat and around

| second maid. to tie her sleeves for her,
and Viola, young, pretty ana eager
exclaimed admiringly:
"You look lovely, Mrs. Lee. That
dress is wonderful on YOU"
| AS she went out into the living room
she hoped she would please Martin. He
| hadn't come home yet and Nan spent
! a few minutes taking stock of the Nv
| ing room. ..
It was handsomely furnished, but 1t
was cold.
What was the matter with It?
| Everything was quite correct, but 1t
lacked something. Then she realized
what it was. To her living room
meant books on open shelves, piano.
This room looked exactly as if 1t
| had been delivered from the interior
| decorators. She could see their
| touches everywhere. 1t was correct.
| The furniture was expensive, but
| there was no charm. 1t didn't look
| like a room where people lived and
| laughed and talked.
The floors, of course, were beautiful
and covered with Oriental rugs. But
even the lamps seemed chaste ant
cold. She wondered if Martin would
| let her change things bit. She felt
that she couldn't possibly live with
such correctness. 1t stifled her.
| She was so absorbed in her scrutiny
| of the room that she did not heal

moment on the threshold of the liv
ing room watching her.

Glistening Nails.

If my fingernails don't look up to
the standard / like to see them, and
/ am i'm too much of hurry to give
them a real manicure, ] find that two
little tricks will make them seem well
manicured One is to polish them very
highly, the other TO rub cold cream
into them and leave it minute or so.
AS TO that / find that washing the
hands thoroughly, using not.toostiff
nail brush, then cleaning under them
and rubbing a little bit of cream
around them. wiping this off with
towel, take less than so seconds by
the clock and are worth a great deal
in improving the looks of the fingers.
If / can do something else for a min
ute or so, / do--such as putting on q
dress or combing hair or some little
thing like that, as it gives the skin
time to take up the cream. Then give
the fingers a very quick scrub with
the brush and warm Water-it takes
off the surface oil, but not all Of It..
You'll find the cuticle has smoothed
itself out during the short time the
cream was on.

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

From the day when Deborah Tor
was it some one else) brought forth
butter in lordly dish, to our own time,
when famous food specialists are in
sisting on plenty of fresh butter for
underfed children, this product has
stood for one Of the elements in an
adequate diet. 1t has frequently as
sumed the role of luxury. If only the
lovely ladies who worry about their
extra pounds could realize what hap
pens to the body deprived of fats, and
especially that one known as butter
fat, they would think twice before
ruthlessly keeping butter out of their
diet.
Butter fat has peculiar value, and
in combination with the fats contained
in egg yolk 1t is almost a necessity
in diet for children. Experiments
have proved that when growth had
been definitely interrupted the addi-
ton of a certain percentage of butter
fat righted the condition within
short time.
Nowadays almost every one has at
least a reading knowledge of the vita
Minis. The particular vitamin in
butter Is rich, is the first one discov-
cred, and is called vitamin A. With
out it distressing conditions may arise.
For the most part, this vitamin is to
be found in fatty foods rather than
in fruits and vegetables.
Fond as most of us are of good
bread and butter" we do not all know
the delicious flavor and dietary value
of unsalted butter. Our European
friends have the advantage of us here.
On the continent it is difficult to get
sailed butter.
While properly made, sailed butter
is not in any sense deleterious. 1t is
true that what is known as sweet
butter-that is, butter made without
any SALTS especially adapted to what
used to be called weak stomachs."
Furthermore, there are individuals
who must subsist on a diet either
salt poor" or salt free" For these
persons, If they are allowed fats,
sweet butter is, of course, the answer
to the problem.
In spite of these many advantages.
let us not forget that it Is as much of
mistake to overdo in the use of
butter as it Is to overeat in the matter
of any other food. Even more, per-
haps, since the fatty foods are, the
ones that are most likely to cause
general digestive troubles. Fats are
digested slowly and in a definite sec
ton of the digestive system. If eaten
to excess. even in so desirable a form
as that of butter, fat may and usually
does cause further trouble by delay
ing the progress of food. The food
mass may be held in the stomach
longer than is normal, and then the
trouble begins.
1t would be a mistake, however, to
end on discouraging note. When
all is said and done, butter is one of
our most important foodstuffs, and
should be so reckoned by all who study
dietetics and nutritional problems.

Salt for Body Pimples.

An eruption of pimples on face or

something is wrong with ones blood
and that so-called blood purifiers" in

system Is to change ones diet so that
it will provide the correct proportion

But pimples, especially the small red
ones on the shoulders and the limbs,
are not always caused by internal dis
orders. Frequently they result from
the wrong external treatment. one OF

RADIOED FROM USDA

Analysing surveys made in IL
states, the United States Department
of Agriculture concludes that educa-
tion pays and pays big. For instance,
the yearly net profits of Georgia far
mers without any schooling averaged
$24O. Those who had common
school education earned $565.50. High
school graduates earned $644.50
Those who completed an agricultural
college course earned S1,254. In
Missouri, the better educated men
were found to own four-fifths of the
land they operate. keep more live
stock, handle more crops with each
workman employed, and do about one
fifth more business. In Wisconsin, the
survey showed, farmers with high
school education acquired the owner
ship of their farms in about years,
while it took 10 years for those with
only a common school education.
Without exception, every survey show
ed that the man with the greater
training enjoyed the greater-pro
perity.
