March is practically the last month of the sweet potato season so 1t will pay one to make the most of the sugar spuds'' while they last. Aside from this the sup ply of last falls crop of Irish po- tatoes is dwindling and their qual- ity Is becoming poor. New potatoes are high in price and not generally plentiful. Consequently sweet po- tatoes make an excellent substitute for white potatoes, comparing favorably in food value.
 Sweet potatoes are splendid to serve with fish, adding many call ories to the menu.
 Perhaps these recipes, taken from various sources, will be new to you and help you to add variety and nourishment to your menus.
 Pineapple and sweet potatoes is a popular combination.

At night it's hard to read or study for they positively ache. What am afraid of is that the teachers will notice and send me to an eye specialist and he will order glasses and I simply couldn't bear that.

Mother, if I send Tommy out to you some day with his suitcase, will you take him in without any Iquestions?" N
 Certainly, my dear. But don't do anything dramatic. It soon loses its effect on children"
 T know. but occasionally be- lieve the unexpected is Q good thing for them. If Tommy comes, treat him well, as you would, Of course, but don't kill him with kindness. Start him in at the school here and let him finish the term. I won't even come out to see him, but I'll write him nice long newsy letters."
 My goodness! Is it as bad as thatr"
 Well, it remains to be seen. I'm tired talking"
 Tommy's Temper Flares | i, A week or so later the telephone rang at Tommys house and his mother answered it. Tommy had gotten into a row over kite and had deliberately torn an expensive one belonging to a friend. Then he had knocked the boy down and de- parted.

It is the most selfish thing on earth"
 A Final Outbreak" Another week passed. Bob and Tommy were playing in the attic one rainy afternoon. The clothes were up there drying at one end. Bob came down presently, went to his room and closed the door. h "Whats wrong?" called his mother, but there was no answer. Signing, she climbed the stairs to see. All the clothes lay on the dusty floor and Tommy sat on a trunk sulkipg.
 What did this?" "Oh, rope got in my way and I just went to give towel a little jerk and the whole business had to come down."
 "A little jerkv' Every hook and nail was out. Tommy had great strength and she knew, she could see him, his face purple with pas- sion, tearing the line out, by the sockets.
 These two incidents were merely the high waves of a hundred breakers in the past three weeks. She decided now to act.
 T will pack you up, Thomas" she said calmly. You cannot live with other people and make them wretched. You will live with grand ma for a while in the country. And | if you make trouble there, or with the other children, your father and I will hear about 1t. No, no more excuses! You have had your chance" Tommy came home after May, the end of school in Ridge county, a different boy. When he discover ed that his own world would not tolerate his tantrums he learned to control them.

She walked into the room, then. and felt the bed as though s1zo couldn't quito believe her own eyes. Then she went into the corridor and looked ats the number on the door. Yea it was correct. She had the right room. But where was Jack7
 She ran down the hall, hunting for nMrBe.
 She couldn't find one. Not on that floor anywhere. They were all in rooms. At last she heard voices. She knocked on the door. 1t was a kitchenette, and two nurses were preparing eubBcr1p- tions. She knew one of them. What happened to my hus- band ?"she asked. ssTfe isn't here" "Isn't here7v the woman re- peated. "What do you meanT ''His room is emptyi Did the ambulance come ahead of time?" "The other nurse answered. "Oh yes, he left about half an hour ago. I don't think it was ahead of time, was 1t? But it came. know he leftl'
 "oh-h!' Sue didn't wait to hear anything else. She thanked the nurse and hurried away, down the hall down the stairs, not wait ing for an elevator this time, out into the street. She signaled taxicab and gace her home address. She knew that she couldn't afford a cab but she didn't want Jack to be home alone. So she had con- fused the time and been late! The ambulance and the street car had probably passed! But someone would stay with him until she came. Surely he wouldn't be alone Hurry, please, please, hurry" she begged the taxicab driver. "The roads kind of slippery, ma'am." he told her. T don't want to have a smash-up." ''No, of course not" she agreed.
 "But you can go just little faster. can't your"
 "well, I don't know-if you
 want to run the risk" ''No, I m not running any risks. It's all right. I'm sorry." She s1ip- ped down into her corner.
 In the distance she saw their
 house. Sprawling and comfortable and liveable. She leaned forward. The cab was drawing near. It was dusk now. Snowflakes | foated leisurely through the air. There were several cars on the road. Other people were hurrying ! home, too. The taxicab couldn't l make the turn into the drive until several cars had passed. Sue glanced at the house. There were no lights.
 "Oh, how cheerless," she re-
 preached herself. T should have
 left a lamp on. Why didn't I do
 it?"
 She looked up the drive. There
 were no cars parked any where. l The ambulance had gone.
 She paid the taxicab driver
 quickly. She tipped him too much,
 she knew. Then she fitted her key
 in the lock. The door swung wide.
 There was the fire-rose bright
 in the way, cheerful room. There
 was the table with the rose cloth
 and the candle sticks and the fiow-
 CTS in the old blue bowl.
 "Jack"
 But nobody answered. The bed
 was empty.
 He was upstairs of course. There
 had been mistake. She raced up
 the stairs.
 Jack. Jack darling!"
 But nobody answered up thore.

one hand to her face and brushed away the tears. She did the same thing again without realizing that she had done it. A man and girl were coming toward her and Janet saw that the girl looked at her curiously. Why not? People didn't stand in the middle of the sidewalk on Lombard street wiping tears from their eyes. People who were sensible didn't do such things. No wonder that girl was staring at her.
 Pressing her lips together tightly Janet turned and entered the res- taurant. She found a seat at the side of the room. A waitress, short and stout and with very pink cheeks, handed her a menu card.
 Would you like the special din- ner?" the waitress asked glibly. Veal steak with mashed brown po- tatoes. string beans, combination salad and choice of dessert"
 Janet nodded. "Yes," she said That will be all right"
 Coffee to drink?"
 "Yes. Coffee"
 The waitress disappeared and re- turned with the food. Fifteen min- utes later she was back again. "Is there anything wrong with the steak?" she asked. Don't you like it?"
 Janet looked down at her plate. She had not eaten so much as a mouthful. There's nothing wrong with it," she said. "I'm--I'm just not hungry"
 She raised the cup of coffee to her lips and drank some. It was cold and tasted bitter.
 eff you don't like 1t can get you something else," the waitress volunteered.
 "No. It's all right" 8
 A few minutes later Janet jaid her check and went out into the street. She had not been in the restaurant more than 20 minutes but in that time night had de- scended. The street was as dark as it would be hours later. It was cold, too. Janet pulled her coat collar more closely about her throat.
 There. almost where she was standing, was the place Rolf had stood. It was there he had said those terrible things. You don't want to marry me. You care more for your job! Wed never make a go of it,
 There were no tears in Janet's eyes now but her hand rose as though to brush away the memory of that scene. She had said terri- ble things too. She had told Rolf she never wanted to see him again. She had said she wouldn't marry him. Well, he had gone. Their en- gagement was ended. It was all over. Everything!
 She walked to the corner, turned into Center avenue and headed to- ward the safety zone where the street cars stopped. She had al- most reached it when she paused.

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
2I25z6Y NEA sERxEE !NS;

When you walk down the street don't do it merely for the purpose of locomotion. Not merely because straight line is the shortest dis tance between two places and you intend to get there in q hurry gracefully or gracelessly!
 Make walking an art. And en- joy it. If your lungs are crowded the clean, free air. or even the sooty. murky air, which after all is better than no air won't get into your system. Your eyes will look downward instead of up, and your lips will droop since your whole body is refiecting a down. ward curve.
 So first of all, look up. Make your body into straight line, and keep 1t that way. For Q practice stunt, stand against wall. mak- ing sure that the small of your back touches the wall. Now put your weight forward on the balls of your feet. And walk! Some in- ner urge will make your steps light and free. But when you throug your weight backward you add years to your posture, and years are a drag in walking.
 Imagine that an invisible string has been tied to the top of your head, while you were standing in that slim. upright position. Pre- tend that it is there so industrious ly that you feel 1t pulling your hair until the scalp tingles. Now. with the string doing it's uplifting stunt, start to walk. Your should CTS can't sag.
 Don't merely throw back your shoulders in a military gesture. You will be stiff if you do. You will defeat your own ends. You want grace. you know. And free- dom. And they came in an easy. nonchalant posture that knows its ways home or down any street.
 Try not to have any parcels to carry when you are talking long walks. Let your arms hang. There is certain relaxation that comes from this position which aids the circulation and does improving things to eyes and cheeks and lips.
 Walk as though you are some body importance. not as though you are drab individuality In a crowd.

never want to see you again!
 Never! As long as live!" As suddenly as her anger had come it spent itself. Tenderness swept over her face. "Oh, Rolf" she scried in voice that was low pitched, frightened. "Oh, Rolf" The young mans tone was frigid. eff that's the way you feel about it. he said with exaggerated po- liteness, ''I guess I'd betetr say good night. You can get your car at the corner here."
 Janet made he rvoice as cold as
 his. I'm not going home" she said. "Pm-Tm going to have din- | ner down town. Here. Here in this | restaurant"
 They were in front of an eating place. It was restaurant Janet
 had never entered, quite an ordi-
 nary looking place. Food was the
 last thing in the world that she
 wanted then but the pretext would serve as well as any other to get
 away. She must get away from
 Rolf! This hideous quarrel couldn't
 go on. She wanted to get away, vel to stay, too. Not with the cold-eyed |
 her but with that other Rolf who
 had been affectionate and adoring. l Couldn't he see she hadn't meant
 those terrible things she had said ?
 Wouldn't he understand this was all Q mistake?
 l He was speaking again. Then
 I'll leave you," he said. It might
 have been any stranger using that | clipped formal tone
 For just the fraction of second | the young man paused. For just the fraction of a second Janet's eyes raised hopefully. Then with quick gesture Rolf touched his
 hat brim. Good night" he said,
 and was gone.
 She stood where he, had left her for several moments. She put

 But you used to say you liked all those thihgs!"
 The tears were yelling up in her eyes again. Perhaps 1t was because Carlyle felt tinge of guilt, per- haps 1t was because he knew he was not blameless, yet refused to admit 1t, that he answered harshly.
 If Lssaid that didn't mean it. I'm telling you the truth now"
 They had been walking along a quiet cross street. At the intersec- tion. not a dozen yards ahead, the street led into a brightly lighted avenue. Janet could not bear the thought of those lights. She halted. The sudden anger that flared in her voice was almost as much of sur prise to the girl herself as it was to Rolf.
 "So you're telling me the truth!" she exclaimed. "Then why don't you tell me about that girl you were with last night? suppose when you were so busy Sunday you were with her, too. Oh, you needn't go on explaining! I under stand. You liked to spend your eve- nings with me before you met her. She's the one who's changed your mind about-about everything!"

 Don't try to tell me what you mean! And don't go on trying to explain, either. wouldn't believe you, no matter what you said! Why should I? After the lies you've told me"
 Aren't you making yourself rather ridiculous? Do you want the whole street to hear you?"
