II want to tell you something
perfectly lovely now that we're
all here together-I'm en-
gagged! I'm engaged to Wal
lace Steffen!"
It was the very moment, she
had decided, to give them that
cheerful piece Of news, and
there was no doubt in her mind
that it was wonderfully cheer
full news to them. The four
dark middle-aged faces around
the table frightened suddenly
as if she had swept a flashlight
around the table. Only John
did not beam at her from his
seat beside her. His face kept
its grave unSmiling look, the
look that made flippant girls
tell him that he was lone Of
those strong silent men,"
Whats the matter, John?"
she asked him. you'd like to
see me marry Wallace wouldn't,
you?"
why, sure, if you want to-"
He was looking at her in a blank
sort Of way, and she realized all
at once that the news Of her
engagement came as a surprise
to him. AS she stared at him
he got to his feet. Gosh,
there's some telephoning that
I forgot to do" he said vague
ly, and walked out of the room.
Nov, isn't that just the sort
Of remark you'd expect him to
make about SuSan's engage
ment!" Lutte cried. II suppose
he's angry because she didn't
consult him about getting mar
ried before she said Yes to
Wallace!-Why, Susan, this is
just the incest news I've heard
in years."
She jumped up from the table
and gave Susan a hug and dry
kiss favored with the heliotrope
perfume that she always had on
her skin and clothes. Il always
said that Wallace was going to
be your Mr.. Right, didn't I?
When did he pop the question,

"Snookie" is probably the

Chop Suey
It is simple to make a good
chop suey at home, and even
to give it the Chinese touch
with "soy bean sauce" Be sure
to brown the pieces Of meat, and
cook the vegetables only a few
minutes, so that they retain
some of their crispness.
You can buy Chinese bean
sprouts canned, or you can grow
your own, which is amusing to
do, and worth the trouble, be-
cause the fresh beans have a
good deal Of Vitamin C in them,
whereas the dried beans are
practically without it. The way
to make the beans Sprout is as
follows:
Sprinkle dried beans on a wet
cheesecloth, roll the cloth with
the beans around a stick about
a foot long, and put the end of
the roll in water. Dampen the
roll occasionally. When the
sprouts are an inch long the
beans are ready to use. Soy
beans need about four to six
days to sprout.
Pork Chop Suey
2 cups shredded cooked lean
pork
2 cups shredded celery
2 cups sliced raw Jerusalem
artichokeS, or radishes
l green pepper, shredded
2 tablespoons fat
l teaspoon corn starch
2 cups shredded onion
2 cups meat broth or stock
2 teaspoons Soyu sauce
l tablespoon cold water.
Salt to taste
Brown the meat lightly in
half the fat, and remove from
the skillet. Cook the pepper and
onion in the rest of the fat a
few minutes. Add the celery,
meat, salt, broth or stock, cover,
and simmer fo- five minutes.

If you want your eyes to be
beautiful, full Of gay vitality
and charm, you will have to de-
vote a few minutes each day to
their care.
I never cease to wonder why
1t is that women will clense
their skin and brush their teeth
each night and morning, and
fail to battle their eyes! Eyes
so much of life depends upon
their health and beauty! Yet,
how they are neglected.
An eye-bath not only re.
moves the tiny foreign proper
ties that irritate the delicate
mucous membrane, but it re-
lieveS inflammation and strain.
Your eyes are left cool, refreshed
and sparkling; and even frayed
spirits are revived!
In choosing an eye lotion you
cannot be too cautious. Inferior
lotions can easily damage the
sight, and lotions prepared at
home with faucet or spring
water are quite unsafe. Such
water contains organic and
mineral impurities that might
cause infection.
A lotion should be cool, sooth-
ing and beneficial. can give
you the name of one which is
highly recommended by doctors
and which is reasonable. It is
made from distilled water and
contains other properties that
instantly draw out the tired
sting that comes from eye
strain; it cleanses the eyes
without the slightest irritation.
Any child might use it to ad-
vantage.
With the eye open, press a
half-filled eye cup firmly
against the orbit, to prevent the
escape Of the lotion. Tilt the
head well backward and rotate
the eyeball-up, around, down,
clockwise and counter-clock
until it is bathed thoroughly.
Take a fresh quantity for the
other eye to prevent spreading
infection.
This simple refreshing habit,
night and morning, will do
much to keep your eyes freshly
alive with youth through the
years. And what comfort you
will derive!

nere-a CQ1.
nese proverb says, "a dinner
without rice is like a pretty girl
with only one eye"
It is said that the Chinese
method of cooking was invented
by the Emperor Pow Hay Sc,
about 5000 years before Christ.
The Chinese author of a Chinese
cookbook quotes ConfuciuS on
chow to eat scientifically'-and,
remarkable as it seems. Con-
fucius' ideas were very like the
best dietary ones today!
Same Law
He declared that the proper
ton of meat should not be more
than that Of vegetables, and he
would not eat anything that was
not chopped up properly. To-
day, unconsciously, the Chinese
people are obeying this same
law.
Take chop suey, for instance,
which, according to the Bureau
Of Home Economics, is really a
family name for dishes Of kind
(like stew, or chowder, with u.s.
The name really means "a va
riety Of small pieces" It need
not contain exactly the same
thing any two times you make
it. But chop Suey does conform
to the rules Of Confucius-it has
less meat than vegetables, and

well, all I have to say is
that I'd rather work for a
paper at a 80 dollar salary than
be q lawyer at 800 per-" John
answered. "You know I'd never
make good lawyer, no matter
how many years I stayed at
school. I don't talk well, and I

tied when I have to face lot
Of people-Why spend your life
doing something you don't like

fitted for?-I can't see how I'd

He had told the family that
dozens Of times before, during
arguments about his future, and
Susan knew that it was partly
true. John had o quick nerv-
Gus way Of talking, and he did
not know how to say things
well-not half so well as he
knew how to write them.
Shy Young Man
He was that rare human be-
ing, o shy young man. But
people very seldom suspected
him Of shynesS. They simply
set him down as q quiet, re-
served, rather grim young man
who was unusually good to look
at, Girls were intrigued by his
silence, decided that it was a
pose, found out that it wasn't,
and gave him UP as bad job.
He had no "line," no small
talk. He was no expert at the
kind Of love-making that means
nothing at all, and he had
been in love with only one girl
in his life.
They've told me two or
three times lately. down at the
office; that I could have a regu-
lar job if wanted it," he said
now. And I'm going to tell
them tomorrow morning that
I'll take it."

fellow!" His father leaned
across the table, frowning. his
hands clenched on the cloth
in front of him. WED bet

said: Because of the unsettled

continue for the present the send
ing of students to Germany under

affect the plan of sending a group
of students to France as usual this
Summer under the University of

about thirty-five students from
various colleges and universities
throughout the country will sail
for France on August %. The
original plan was for another
group to sail for Germany about
the same time and it is understood

their intention Of taking advantage
of the plan for a years study in

abandoning of the idea for this
year at least. For a number of

students who have had two wears
of college work make up the
groups, and they are given credit
for their junior year in their home
college or university Although a
group under the Delaware plan has
been in Germany since last August
the members, so far as can be
learned, have not been bothered in
any way by conditions or persons
