It was still a Joy after four months
Of Housekeeping to keep the four-room
apartment in immaculate order. The
adorable Wedgwood china, the pieces
of antique furniture-there was one
chest of drawers and a tilt-top table
picked up in a remote Wisconsin VIII
lage during the year of their engage
ment, which was also Judith's senior
year at college, that were almost too
good to be true-the hooked rugs and
the old oval mirror that had been
shipped away from the Guernsey Is
lands because it had a certain senti-
mental meaning to the two old aunts
living there, all helped to make the
daily routine positively thrilling. Ju-
dith loved her things sol But-the
cooking!
"Oh, dear" she had said to her
mother when they were inspecting the
intriguing blue and white kitchen
few days before the wedding, Il do
wish, since a diploma doesn't guaran-
tee a husband who can afford a cook,
that colleges require course in cook
ing before girls could get their d1-
plon1as."
Experience is the best teacher" re-
replied her mother sensibly. Most of
us have had to go through the expert
mental stage before cooks could be in
cluded in our budgets"
We'll, right now," said Judith. Il
feel as If cook were just as essential
to- my budget as gas stove"
The evening the Masons dropped in
for a game of bridge Judith's supper
table was delight to behold; 1t was
late-after 12-when they finished their
game, and the prospect of coZy mid
night supper was most welcome to the
guests who had a long drive home
ahead of them. The brown mahogany
table shone like amber satin, the deli
cately fine linen runners, an old Dutch
silver bowl filled with red apples,
polished to scarlet glow, and the four
tall Sheffield candlesticks made truly
soul-satisfying picture. Some way,
however, things we're not what they
seemed.
do you know Judy" said Tom
later. Il sort of wish we'd thought to
have a rarebit tonight. Old John
didn't seem exactly to relish that cold
salad"
The fact of the matter was that
every single thing she had served at
the supper had either come out of
can or had been purchased at the too
convenient delicatessen around the
| corner-that is-everything except the
coffee, which was excellent, Judith did
know both how to buy and how to
make coffee to the queens taste; vari-
Gus college spreads had enlightened her
as to that art.
Hurry up and stuff the keyhole and
open that window, somebody. Judy's
coffee's coming along" used to be the
frequent warning in dormitory days
when disciplinary unpleasantnesses
were likely to occur.
Anyway" thought Judith one day
soon after the bridge supper, I'm sure
ly not so dumb that I can't make
rice pudding for dessert tonight. It's
the simplest one possible, and I'll sur
prise Tom remember his saying
that he liked rice pudding when it
had lots of raisins."

you'd only try"
Mother" walled Judith the next day
over the telephone. "is there such a
thing in existence as a cook book that
really tells how to cook-I mean prunes
and rice-and-and things like that?"
"Prunes and rice? Why. you ridic-
ulous child, you don't need cook
book in order to cook such ordinary
things
Don't I, though! Well, I'll say I
do! Why Toms teeth fairly cracked
on my rice pudding last night, but
the poor darling wouldn't SO much as
hint that 1t was underdone, and /
actually suspect him of sneaking the
prunes from his dish into his coat
pocket this morning. for when cleared
the breakfast table there wasn't single
prune stone on his plate
Did you soak your prunes over
night?"
Soak them!" sighed Judith, why
no, didn't. How in the world was I
to know that prunes needed Soaking2"

ATTACK MELLON.
In H0 USE FOR.
TAX CUT STAND

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 tPl--Secre-
tary Mellon was accused on the house
floor today with deliberately attempt
ing to block senate action on the
1920, 100000 tax reduction bill because
it had been discovered the measure
would increase by approximately
$5O,OOOOO0 the total tax assessment
Of about 1000 large corporations.
The charge was brought against
the treasury head by Representative
Garner, of Texas, democratic leader
on the house ways and means COM
mittee which drafted the tax mea-
sure. He said he referred specifically
to Mellon as in matters OF finance
the secretary spoke for the admin
iStration.
Garner declared he was advised
the bill would increase by more than
$1O0O,OOO the tax on corporations in
which Mellon was interested, and
added: .And that doesn't look like
tax reduction to Uncle Andy"
About the time Garner was stamp
ing around in the well OF the house
pouring out verbal .broadside against
the treasury secretary, decision was
reached by democrats at the other
end of the capitol to demand innne-
diate consideration by the senate OF
the tax bill.
Senator Simmons, of North Caro-
lima, minority leader on the finance
committee, announced the democrats
would unite in an effort to prevent
republicans from carrying out their
announced plans to postpone action
on the measure. until after March
Is, when the first tax returns OF
the year are made. W
Simmons is expected to initiate a
move for action on the bill at a
meeting tomorrow of the finance
committee on which there are IL
republicans to nine democrats. In
the senate itself the democrats face
but slim prospects or mastering sup
port from the republican 1ndepend
entS, as that group generally is OPP
posed to any tax reduction at this
session.
In the house, Garner charged
Mellon with attempting to camouflage
the tax reduction issue. He said the
secretary opposed two provisions in
the bill; one requiring parent and
subsidiary corporations to file separate
tax returns instead of affiliated re-
turns as permitted at present. and
the other providing a graduated tax
for corporations with net incomes OF
$4,000 or less.
The Texas democrat declared Mel
lon objected to the first because it
would increase instead of decrease
taxes for large corporations and OPP
posed the second because he did not
wish congress to establish a precedent
for graduated tax rate on corpora
ticn incomes.
Garner predicted that if these two
provisions were eliminated that Sec
retary Mellon would approve and
President Coolidge sign bill pro-
posing a tax cut as high as
$3O0,OOOOOO. It's not the amount of
the proposed tax cut, he added, but
the two provisions regarding corr,
poration levies to which the; admin
istration is opposed.
