Lend Theory That Near Bone Is Sweetest
Dorothy Dix Says
A Tilted Girl Should Feel Thankful
Rather Than Injured.

- been given the air, or what?
I was engaged to . young man who
was sent by his firm to foreign
country. He was to be gone three
years and at the end Of that time he
was coming back to marry me. But it
seems that he has met over there
some one whom he prefers to me. He
writes to me very frankly that when
he. asked me to marry him he honestly
believed that he loved me, but since
he has found this girl he realizes that
he didn't know what love was or what
o man could feel for q woman. He
simply raves over her and is terribly
sorry about hurting me, but life with
out her would be insupportable. OF
course. I am mortified and grieved,
more hurt in pride than heart, I
suspect, but what am I to do about
it? What should be my attitude?
X-FIANCEE.
Answer-Go down on your knees
in q prayer of Thanksgiving that the
young man found out the true state
Of his affections for you and dis
covered his real mate before you were
married, instead Of afterward. God
has been good to you in that you have
been saved from being one Of the
wives who Is merely tolerated by a
husband, or worse still, from being
one Of the tragic wives who eats her
heart out in bitterness knowing that
her husband loves some other woman
and that he resents her because she
stands between him and happiness.

A BROKEN engagement is a scratch

time, but it will heal without leaving

that testers in her soul and bleeds
and aches as long as she lives.
can think of no more cruel fate
that can befall q woman than to be
married to man who has married her
for the sake Of duty, or because he
had not the courage to break an en-
gagement after he had found out that
he no longer cared for her and that
she had lost for him whatever charm
and allure she once had. No position,
it seems to me, could be so humiliating
as to be an unwanted wife, one who
has merely endured instead of being
desired; one to whom man came
back reluctantly of an evening instead
of joyously; one whose very touch was
repulsive to him, because she repre-
sented to him all that he had sacri-
feed for her.
No man could be a good husband
under such conditions. or make any
woman happy. He would be more than

Because the baby in the Mother Goose rhyme was man enough to eat it is no reason for mothers to 20 on and on frying fish. There are other more healthful and de- licious ways of preparing them, highly recommended, unless you happen to be a connoisseur of tie art of frying-which so few Of cs are.
 Even broiling and baking fish should be done with 8 knowledge of the kind of fish to be used, and the best way of broiling or baking it. Dry.meated fish, such as cod, haddock, pollack, and hake, are better adapted for boiling. steam ing, stewing or making into cur ried dish, for they will keep their shape and not fall to pieces in the process of cooking. Oily-meated fish. such as salmon, shad, mack erel, herring, lake trout and white fish, are preferable for quick modes of cokoing, by the hot oven method Don't OvercOOk FISH
 It is well to remember that fish, in general, do not require the slow cooking used for many varieties of meat because its connective tissue is more tender than meat tissue, and overcooking extracts the juices and dries out the fish.
 Gamers have done extensive re- search into the proper methods of cooking fish, with the result that housewives order certain fish in cans because they realize that homecooking cannot equal the per- lection with whic hthey are cooked
 Canned salmon is a striking ex- ample of this. More salmon is sold ir cans than any other fish. While 1t is possible to broil or bake sal- mon very nicely, few people, other than famous hotel and restaurant chefs, have ever achieved near per- lection in doing so. Canned sal- mon, on the other hand, comes tc us always lovely in color, tender juicy, it's oils well blended into the salmon texture. Housewives, there- fore, have given their time and thought to the many ways to serve salmon.
 The following salad and souffle provide new and delightful addi- ton to the ever-lengthening list of good salmon dishes.
 Nice for Parties
 Metropolitan Salmon Salad: Chill the contents of one 7-ounce can Of salmon. Open and put the salmon in a small bowl lined with crisp lettuce, being careful not to break up the fish. Mix one-fourth cup mayonnaise with one tablespoon thick sweet sour cream, one tea- spoon vinegar. one tablespoon chopped celery, one tablespoon chopped pimiento, one teaspoon relish. Spread over the salmon This serves three persons.

keeps fresh almost indefinitely tIr- der refrigeration. All 1t needs $ the addition of 2 cups of water 10 the package and Q little gentle lJcil- ing to heat the product and cook 1t an even mixture. Beans may be added as desired.
 Good grade Chili Con Cafne ;s not hard to recognize. The lean meat will be in even pieces-i too small--with no pieces of gristle or skin. The rich fat, as 1t melts, will have q perfectly cIeai, reddisG color. The flavor should be high both in pepper and other seasonings but 1t should not mask the meat flavor. If you buy good quality "a reputable brand, you need not fear for second grade product.

 CHILL MAC

 Cook macaroni or spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water un- til tender. Drain. Grease a bak- ing dish with bacon drippings. Put in layer of macaront then q layer of Chili Con Carne. Repeat until all materials are used. Pour over the canned tomato soup, diluted with an equal portion of water. Bake slowly for 25 to 30 minutes in a $50 degrees F. or moderate oven.

 When icing cup cakes for the children's party, use 8 plain white icing and bright colored gum drops for decoration.

 Such vegetables as turnips, par- snips, carrots, beets and similar types all contain more or less sugar when they are taken out of the garden but they lose 1t when standing in the market or shop. That is why you notice in 50 many modern recipes the direction to add @ little sugar as well as salt and pepper for seasoning. The idea is not to give noticeable sweetness to the vegetable, as one would to q dessert, but rather to return 1t to natural element that has been lost on the way to market, and to pro- vide balanced seasoning.

 There is in Germany 8 delicate appreciation of. kraut--which seems Co use very ordinary dish. That 1s because American-made kraut is truly Q caricature of It's European ancestors. Abroad 1t is shredded as fine as a hair. beautifully white and crisp and tender piled as lightly as spun silk and used as bed on which to serve boiled sausages, sliced Yoasts and other meats. Much as we use lettuce leaves for far x1ishing, the Germans use their white, thread kraut. As to the health properties of this predigested food, VIC have heard much in later wears.

 Much stewed fruit - both dried and fresh - Is eating in the simple German homes, and there is a ten- dency to eat more often and less heavily, which is boon to good health and complications.

 Add . little prepared mustard or Wcrcestersnire sauce to French dressing and you will find 1t gives a pIuuant flavor. A pinch of sugar added to either mayonnaise or French dressing always improves 1t. Garnish plain rlayOnnaise with 2 little picalili or chopped pimiento to make 1t more appetizing in ap- pearance.
 Use plenty of butter when frying potatoes then sprinkle flour light over them and they will come out delicious, crisp and brown.
 
 String beans, butter beans or iimas will not take long to cook and will be more digestible if you add one-fourth teaspoon of baking soda to the water in which they are boiling.
 Try dipping each slice of bacon in flour before putting 1t into the frying pan and see if the result IS not far superior to the usual method. The flour tends to hold in the juices and fat and also makes a nice brown crust.
