Kings of Living

A grand and housekeeping monarch was old
Louis XIV--they stilltalk about him back in his
own home town. Nothing was too good for
L0uis--in fact the best wasn't quite good
enough.
Yet his magnificent palace had neither gas nor
electricity and there wasn't a tiled shOwer-bath
in the place.
Today the average American citizen enjoys
conyeniences and comforts exceeding Louis
XIV's most extravagant dreams. And many
things which we regard as absolute necessities
would have seemed the most elegant luxuries to
Louis.
Advertising has made possible this widespread
distribution of the good things OF life Advertise
inc has made possible large-scaIe production and
2rno-sca.e selling, resulting in prices that take
Iuxurie3 cut OF the "fOr- r-kings-only" class.
It is well worth your while to read the adver-
tisements. They are largely responsible Tor the
high standard Of living enjoyed in this country
today. And they are raising it daily, making us
kings Of comfort-kings for Louis to envy.

Martha had confided to him
something OF what had happened.
although withholding Madge's
real name. "You have gone
through enough for a nervous
breakdown. People live on the
nerve energy at times, and then
Old Lady Nature comes along
and presents her bill. You have
to pay for 1t by peace and quiet"
So over the long weekend,
Madge had lain in bed. She had
not even thought very much.
She had lain with her face turned
to the wall and a sinking sen.
satiOn in her heart whenever
she remembered all that had hap
pened.
Wen. I asked for thrills and
excitement" she said more than
once as she pulled at that shaggy
black coat. "and you see where
it has got me, Tammie--"
But on the Monday, very pale
and still a little shaky, Madge
came downstairs to begin life
anew.
I'm going to forget 1t, Martha"
she confided,
ST wish you would" the other
answered with a glance at her.
but remember, you never know
what's waiting for you--just
around the corner"
1T don't expect anything pleas
ant around the corner for me"
Madge replied pensively. But
/ have lots of details to take
care Of. Martha"
What details?"
'I must go to New York soon,
sweet as you have been to me,
/ must see about making my
living in some business or other"
You stay right here and help
me on the farm. There'll be lots
to do when start canning next
month. And what would Celeste
do without you?" Martha de-
manded affectionately.
You're very good, and very
kind" Madge responded. Still,
/ shall have to do something.
I have a few thousands from
my fathers insurance, but not
enough to live on. Then there's
another thing. For all I know.
Michael doesn't know where /
am. His lawyers should be able

nothing of divorce laws, but l
will do everything l can to get
Michael his freedom with as
little publicity as possible. /

The telephone rang in the
house.
Go and see who it is, DEAR"
Martha requested.
Madge fuond that New York
was calling and then she was
listening to Frances Storrs.

ces said. Whats happened to
you? read in the paper about
Carroll"
Didn't you get my letter,
Frances?" Madge asked sur
prised.
What letter."
"I wrote you a few days ago."
Madge explained. 'If you didn't
get it, how did you know where
1 was to telephone?"
"I didn't KNOW" Frances re-
piled.
"And I never got any letter
from you. / called up Michael

RECIPES FOR
POTATOES
BY Hannah Wing

we have with us again the
finest quality Of sweet potatoes.
They have returned for the holi.
days and will stay well into the
winter. Each year we discover
ways Of using this Southern sweet
vegetable, and each years recipes
seem better than the last.
For breakfast, for instance, we
are very fond of sweet potato
toast with bacon wrapped prunes.
Not for everyday breakfast, mind
you. but for those Sunday morn
fngs when we entertain ct q late
and substantial breakfast.
TO 3 pint Of riced sweet potH-
toes add two tablespoons Of but.
ter, two beaten eggs and half q
teaspoon Of salt: spread 1t on
slices OF stale bread; on top place
some honey or syrup and q graf
ing OF nutmeg and bake in q brisk
oven until brown. Wrap cooked,
drained. stoned pruneB I'm pieces
OF bacon-prepare four to serve
with each slice of toast-and cook
ten minutes In the oven.
Another toothsome breakfast
dish is prepared by cutting cooked
sweet potatoes into twO-inch
squares and placing a thin slice
OF bacon around each piece,
fastening with toothpick and
crisping In the oven.
Another favorite is a. club sand
wich effect which makes q good
dish for supper, not dinner.
Cut cooked sweet potatoes into
q1arter-inch slices, brush with
melted butter; put thin slice Of
cooked ham, bacon or chicken be-
tween two pieces. with d bit Of
mayonnaise on top OF the meat;
brush the outside with melted but.
ter and brown on both sides on
the grill and serve ut once. With
crisp salad, this makes q good
luncheon Or supper.

CORRECT
MANNERS
.1arn CormeIluo BoeelEraan

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. / am to be married soon, and
nv husband to be would like to
have his married brother for best
man, as his wife Is to be matron
of honor, but my friends think
this Is improper. Ts this trueg
The groom has no other brother
that could act as best man.
2. I arm having two bridesmaids
and one will have to walk out Of
the church with the best man,
which Is objected to, too. e. M.
Indeed, far from being improper,
this seems to me to be the per.
feet arrangement. That IS, pro-
vided the one person In the world
whom you wish to have for your
matron Of honor is the wife Of
your fiance's brother, and that
the one persons in the world that
he wishes to have for his best man
is this married brother. Such q
wedding party Is charming ar
rangement.
2. The objection In this case I
sustain" too. Nowadays it Is
supposed to be most out-of-date
and uninterestfng form for the
members OF the wedding party to
be .paired. Except for the fact
that the bride and groom walk
down the aisle together. the other
units of the wedding party walk
as they did in the recessionaI. but
in the reverse order. The maid or
matron Of honor walks alone. fol-
lowing the bride and groom. Then
following her come the brides
maids, walking together, two by
two. And last the ushers, walk
ing together, two by two. The
best man does not walk in the
recessional, going directly after
the recessional has started to the
vestry, where he gets the groom's
hat and coat, to take to the car
at the front Of the church.

CHAPTER 10
Mary felt as IL she were frozen,
there in the silence. Junior had
slouched down and was peertng
over the table edge and BurIeigh
and his wife seemed to have dis.
appeared. But she could not
move: her arms were Ice, even
her lips were numb. She was
aware Of 4 rhythmic sound like
drum beating loudly somewhere
and realized wildly that It was
only the pulse in her throat. She
could not tear her look from
that skull.
Something happened all at once.
The mad eyes dropped and the
sprawling limbs shrank together
and punched in a huddle. The
red head, thrown high, moved
across the closed space and the
orchestra began to hammer out
jazz. Chatter. breaking every
where at once. crashed intolerably
against Mary's nerves.
Junior ran q handkerchief over
his face and went through the
pantomime Of q faint. Whew!

"On1y q little murder, almost,
Mimi dear. Had enough, Ethel?
Better get you girls out OF here

Jim Burleigh, lips blue, was
rising when Iris waved him back.
"It wasn't the girls who crawled

"And / like this place. Unless
you're q little nervous, Ethel?"
Mrs. Burleigh caught the feline
touch and tossed it back while

haired Apollo that started It?
Isn't he--why, / do believe he's

She preened a bit, rolling her
eyes in a fashion Mary judged
she considered irresistible and
Iris shot her a glance fun OF
malice. But the Spook was not
looking; Mary knew that. He had
seen them right enough: she had
spied ripple going over his face
when he first sat down, back to
the wall. He was talking earnest.
ly to Corso and she had feel
ing that things of vastly more
importance than a party from the
Avenue held the gunman.
Iris was trying to win his at
tention, growing naughty with
failure. Junior spoke to her in a
low tone.
None of your tricks around
here, old lady. You're not with
your own gang of pirates and that
green-eyed baby sees you"
"Oh, shut up. You liked the
green.eyed baby yourself last
night"
"Fair enough. But this is an
other night--full OF strategems
and spoils and sudden death. Be
sides I'm sober"
How quaint"
Mary listened to their quarreling
In a weary, helpless way. Iris,
who had the appearance OF an
angel and the disposition Of a
spoiled child and Junior, lovable
and weak and misunderstood
what would happen to them in
the end?
She had declared they could look
out for themselves and she said
1t again. No matter what hap
pened to them she wouldn't con.
slider their salvation up to her.
Yet even as she told herself his
she knew she would try to help IL
they needed her. She was cut
to that pattern and she couldn't
change. 1t was what folks meant
when they used the phrase, "A
girl like Mary"

Leave her to me. Henry, the
poor child, his wife said.
II saw 1t all, nut / don't want
you TO talk about It," Martina
said when she had made Madge
get into bed. II nearly died when
I saw you falling before that
thing openedl But don't take on,
dear! He's gone where we can
not Judge him, 20 we will say
nothing against him. Just try
and forget. Lie there and rest
and Henry and I viii take
charge OF everything. / will tell
Henry to hide that parachute.
There's no need for it to come
out at the inquest that you were
with him. Just give me his
wife's address and leave the rest
to me-"
So efficiently did Martha and
her husband handle matters that
Madge was spared every detail,
The Washington times., 1928-12-24

and all Objectionable publicity at
the inquest over what remained
of Carroll Dudley, truthfuIly
Henry testified that the aviator
had plunged to death over his
land. He did not mention any
passenger In that plane. AS Car
roll Dudley's widow refused to
come to the scene OF the tragedy
and contented herself by tele-
graphing instructions to local
undertaken toF take complete
charge Of the funeral arrange
ments, 1t was all over before
Madge came downstairs the fol-
lowing Monday.
Martha had called the local
physician, whose intense admira-
tion for Madge's heroism after
the rattIesnake incident sealed his
lips.
'Stay in bed and rest, my
dear" he advised her after
The Washington times., 1928-12-24

Al second later, q second that
seemed an hour, Madge felt q
severe pull az the parachute
opened to the full and easily sup
ported her slight weight, with =
sudden shock, the speed OF her
descent was checked.
An intense feeling of relief shot
through her as blown by light
breeze, she began to descend
more slowly, so comfOrtingly
slowly after her meteoric plunge
from the plane.
And while this was taking
place, little could Madge know
what was happening to Carroll.
She believed that he was drunk,
in which she was correct; she
believed that he was insane, in
which she was quite wrong. She
firmly believed that Carroll would
have hysterically headed them
down to a fiery death and had
no idea that he was making only
a drunken threat which he would
never have fulfilled.
Carroll was unaware at that
first second of what Madge was
about to do; but when she leaped
on looking over the side to pre-
ceiye her falling form, hurtling
toward the ground below. In
voluntarily, he pulled the stick
toward him. The plane stalled,
then kide-slipped to the right.
A second later, and he was
in a tail spin.
A black pit opened before him
Ecstasy! Ecstasy!
It was all her fault
- And he knew no more.
Madge, dropping from the sky,
saw only that the plane keeled
over, and then in a passing frac-
tion of time, she saw it plunge
towards earth in a series Of
curved tight spirals.
1t passed her-though SEEM
ingIy far away. Now it was
twisting down below her. 1t
crashed! 1t crashed, and for a
moment seemed to nestle into the
ground.
Then--then--oh, was it? A red
flame shot to the sky The
plane was all flames, and Madge
shut her eyes as she floated
downward.
The meadow seemed to jump
up to meet her. Somehow Carroll
had circled back so that he was
directly over Ferris land when
Madge leaped out and he himself
crashed. Madge felt the grass
beneath her feet, and then she
smoothly over the springy turf.
~ IN
on the cords, thus emptying the
parachute of its air, and then she
watched 1t fold and crumple
shapelessly to the earth.
Henry Ferris was running to-
ward her, and 1t was he who
extricated her from the straps.
Henry picked her up gently in
his arms, and Madge clung to
him trembling. She felt bruised
all over and terribly shaken. She
could not help but burst into
hysterical tears.
Henry! 1t was awful! Henry
i'm flames. Crashed. Crashed,

"I.isten, Madge," he said
roughly. "That man ts dead. I
don't think he suffered much.
I'll take you straight back to the
house. Martha went ahead with
the child. Now, pull yourself
together and remember that he
brought it on himself. You
should consider yourself lucky
to be alive"
'He threatened to smash us
both--wrote it. and passed II to
me-" she sobbed wildly. 80 /

He soothed and comforted her
as best he could. and then helped
