Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

counting trouble, whether she has
money or not. A woman of means
who marries a man of shiftleSS INDECENT
habits should know what to expect. too.
A widow who cherishes her money
over much soon becomes slave to it,
and she serves it rather than the con-
trary.
Some rich widows can enjoy single
life, 1t is true, but they are usually
women who have businesses, profess
Sions, or trades to occupy their mind
and time. Even they, however, miss
the companionship and affection OF the
connubial state.
One cynical woman has said that
rich widow need not marry, that she
can buy" campanionship. True she
can, but 1t Is of a kind few would care
to have. We enjoy our bounty most
when we share it with loved ones. The
widow Is no exception to this rule.
Her means are only Of use to her II
living conditions are happy and make
for contentment.
When considering matrimony for the
second time. a widow should consider
things other than her money. These
things are chiefly the character OF the
man, their true feelings for one an
other, and whether they are well
mated.
Too many folk, men as well as wom-
en-, go through life unhappily or empti-
ly because they have set their money
up as a barrier. When one can have
love or affection and money, she needs
only health to have the trinity Of nfe's
essentials,

cause he is not ready for those sub

Roast Chicken.

Dress, clean, stuff and truss a
chicken. Place on its back on rack
in a roasting pan, rub the entire sur
face with salt and pepper and spread
breast and legs with butter. Place in
a hot oven, and when it is a light
brown reduce the heat and haste. Con-
tinue to haste every 10 minutes until
the chicken is cooked. For basting,
use quarter of cupful of butter
melted in two-thirds cupful Of boiling
water, and after that is gone use the
fat in the bottom of the pan. Turn
the chicken frequently during cook

them in enough water to cover and a

Aprons for Home Laundresses
BY MARY MARSHALL.

for tennis and other Summer sports
are really as appropriate as those
specially designed for housework.
Today's sketch shows little apron
with pockets for clothespinS that you
may make from pieces Of firm cotton
material left from your Summer sew
ing, or from short remnants of material
that may be bought at this time Of
the year for trifling price. The apron
itself is made from one sort of material
and the pocket piece from material of
contrasting color. The apron is not
more than II inches deep nor more
than Is inches wide so that you might
easily make two aprons from half
yard of material, with another half
yard for the pocket sections and belt.
Sometimes these aprons are made
from waterproof chintz or from OIL
cloth bound with cotton seam binding.
If you have leisure hours now, why not
make a number of them for useful
Christmas presents or for your contribu-
ton to the charity bazar next Autumn.

FOOD PROBLEMS
By SALLY MONROE.
Summer Breakfasts.

Those who are away at beach or
mountain resorts don't need to have
their appetites tempted. Nature does
that for them. But those who must
stick to desks and kitchens in the hot
cities often need some sort of pique to
interest their appetites.
At breakfast, to start the day, this
can usually be done by means Of fruit.
A dish of fruit that looks and tastes
cool and fresh Is about twice as ap-
petizing as a dish of fruit that looks
little wilted. A piece of ice in the
cantaloupe half Is often just the Stimu-
lus needed by a jaded appetite. Beads
of cold on the outside of the glass of
orange Juice help the appetite.
A daintily set table, no matter how
simple 1t may be, Is another stimulus
to breakfast appetites much needed in
hot weather. The table may be with
out cloth, and the napkins may be Of
paper, but still the set-up may be
tempting. A few fresh flowers help, too.
the appetite. The smell of broiling
bacon often makes us hurry down to
breakfast. But the smell Of burned
bacon has the opposite effect-eSpe-
cially when the weather is uncom-
fortably warm. The smell of crisp, hot
toast is as appealing as the smell of
bacon-and burned toast is just as un-
attractive as burned bacon.
Oven toast Is often a wise choice in
hot weather 1t may be served dry
and buttered at table, or it may be
buttered before it is browned-and then
buttered again at the table. To make
1t dry, cut white bread in very thin
slices and dry it In just warm oven
until 1t is golden yellow. To make it
the other way, butter the slices of thin
white bread and brown them slowly and
carefully in the oven. Both kinds must
be Drowned slowly, so that they will be
Drowned evenly.

There Is world of truth In that
saying Of Mrs. Fleetfoot's. The trouble
with most Of us Is that we forget what
we learn, and forgotten knowledge is
Of no use whatever. It Is those who
learn quickly and remember what they
learn who most easily avoid trouble.
No one knows this better than Mrs.
F1eetfoot the Antelope, so she took
great pains to teach the twins, Kid
Antelope and his sister, the things that
they should know, and she made them
understand from the beginning that re-
Numbering the things they were taught
was quite as important as learning them
In the first place and often would be
the means Of saving their lives.
Now, baby Antelopes are not like lit
tie human babies, helpless for a long
time. It Is only for the first week or
two that they spend most Of the time
securely hidden. BY the time they are
2 weeks old they can follow Mother
and use those slim little legs of theirs
with astonishing speed for such little
people. OF course. they cannot run fast
for long distances. That requires some
strength. But by the time they can
follow Mother they have learned well
the lessons Of instant obedience and
hiding by lying perfect still. So it
isn't necessary for them to run long
distances to escape enemies. They Just
simply hide at Mothers signal.
Mrs. F1eetfoot knew that with Speed
foot the Coyote and Mrs. Speedfoot and
King Eagle and Mrs. Eagle knowing of
those twins 1t wouldn't be safe to leave
them long in any one place lest they
be found by accident, so each morning
before daylight she led them a short
distance and then carefully hid them.
All through tie day she fed and kept
watch a short distance from them, 60
ing to them only to feed them, and
then when she was sure that no keen
eyes were watching her.
my dears," she would say, always
keep watch of the white patch around
my tail. When you see that suddenly
grow twice as big as 1t usually Is, drop
instantly where you are and lie per-
fectly still. You will know that have
seen possible danger"
"Yes'm," replied Kid Antelope very
promptly.
"Yes'm," replied his twin sister.
"And never forget It," warned Mrs.
Fleetfoot
Nom" replied the two, and they
never did.
Many times day Mother would sud-
denly flash that signal, and down would
drop the twins and never so much as
lift a head until she called to them
Sometimes she would steal back to see
how well they were obeying. Even then
although they knew she was there, they
would not move until she told them to.
There are other signals made with
that white patch which you will learn

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Unsated Wishes.

The individual who is constitutionally
lazy stands chance CT living longer
than the one who is teeming with am
bition
Every ambition implies a wish. Every
wish implies a possible and usually an
actual conflict. Many wishes meet the
fate Of being transformed into disap-
pointments. That's what Shakespeare
meant when he discoursed on vault
ing ambition, which o'erleapS itself,
and falls on tother'
UnSatisf1ed wishes are treacherous
things. Pushed aside, they seem to
bear a grudge. They accumulate more
energy and set the stage for a battle
Of supremacy.
There is one way to win the battle
of unsatisfied wishes. Wear them down
by working hard to realize a substitute
ambition. This method is known by
the name CT sublimation
1t has been said that the game of
golf is a good way to get rid CT un-
satisfied wishes. ANY deyotec of that
sport will tell you that golf is some
thing better than mere physical exer-
else. Perhaps you have wondered why
some people will play harder at golf
than they will at their business. The
secret Is psychological. In golf they
find an outlet for the hidden energies
Of unsatisf1ed wishes.

Should Rich Widow Marry?

Recently We read somewhere that a
rich widow could have lots of fun with
her money" if she did not remarry.
We have observed several rich widows
with ample means who did not seem
to have lots of fun" and we wonder
how many of them do enjoy their
wealth.
One simple way to come to con-
clusion is to list all of the things money
will buy, and all of the things money
will not buy, and then see which list
includes the more significant items.
Rich widows are hesitant about re-
marrying for fear they are being mar
ried for their money" Like many
other bug-a-boos this one can be easily
dispelled or verified. When considering
a proposal, it is perfectly sensible to
ask a man what difference ones money
will make, and what demands if any
will be made on ones purse.
Any woman who marries a man
much under her in years is, of course,
