White light is still the most efer
tive, 1t gives frosty CLINT if we d,
not have snow, and, if we do, it j.
superb. White with blue or white
with red or green are next choice.
Remember, the idea back Of this
home lighting came to us from an
clent times. Good Christians in the
early days, ashamed that Mary and
Joseph had looked in vain for a
place to rest that first Christmas
night, lighted candles in their homes
so that if the Virgin ever came that
way again her path would be lighted
across the snow For this reason.
simplicity and beauty should be the
keynote Of your plan.
If you have a gracious entrance
to your house with a tree at either
side of the door you have the foun-
datlon already for a good effect
Decorate your two trees as we mem
toned above with green lights TONED
by a star. Or have light thrown on
the mouse from source hidden below
and in back of the trees so that
Uiley stano OUT IN sharp relief. Dec
crate your door with garlands of
laurel topped by a wreath. Have a
lighted candle in each window.
AS the front door is opened carry
your decorations into the house
TWine the stairway with green and
place a tiny Christmas tree at the
newell post. Make the Christmas
tree in the room in which it stands
the center of interest. In the living
room or dining room you NAV do
something interesting with the over
mantel, the dining table or the
buffet. The more feeling of decora-
ton and party spirit you can produce,
the better, but be sure that there is
plan and design back of it all and
that it is not a hodge-podge of green
leaves and red berries behind every
picture and mirror.

upon the kind of a housekeeper a
woman is than upon any other one
thing. 1t promotes domestic felicity
for one thing, for it is an axiom
that the well-fed man is so gentle and
amiable and at peace with all the
world that a child can handle him.
On the contrary. one who has been
set down to a meal of burned meat
and soggy potatoes, with nothing fit
for human consumption on the table
is like raging lion ready to devour
any one he meets. Also there is no
other such efficient way to keep a
man at home of evenings as to stuff
him so full of the things he likes
best that he is virtually unable to
wander from his own fireside.
Likewise, the way a wife feeds her
husband determines whether he will
be a nervous wreck at 40 or still going
strong at TO- More husbands are
annually slain by bad cooking than
are by automobiles.
A mans success in life depends
largely upon the way his wife feeds
him. Many a man fails because his
Wife's cooking has made him such
q dyspeptic crouch that he cannot
get along with anybody, or so pessi-
mistic that he cannot believe that
anything but the worst can happen.
A breakfast of greasy cakes and s.
minute eggs has made many a man
quarrel with his boss, or insult his
clients, or turn down some PROPOSE
ton that would have led him on to
fortune. 1t is when a man feels
well and happy and believes that this
is the best of all good worlds that he
does things.
When man marries, he not only
puts his heart but also his stomach
into his wife's hands. and he should
consider well what sort of care she
Is going to take of them.

pared? Would a wife listen to him
and cooperate with him in the selec-
| ton of food and the cooking thereof
| or would she serve him whatever she
| wanted to? would like to know these
things before I get married, because
I work with about $50 girls, and 1 no.
tice that they are very careless about
what they eat They eat anything
that pleases their palates regardless
of what it does to their stomachs, and
as result they are sick a great deal.
I couldn't afford to marry girl who
would be sick half the time and who
would serve me lot of indigestible
stuff that would keep me sick and
away from work I am tired of single
life, but I must be sure of getting a
wife who will be healthy herself and
keep me healthy by feeding us prop
erly. r. E. M.
Answer-Well, son, a man has a
right to tell his wife what he wants
to eat and how he wants it prepared,
but whether or not he gets it is quite
another matter. Probably no other
one thing raises more family ructions
than the husbands criticism of his
wifes cooking, and after a few stormy
scenes over whether the morning
beverage is coffee or dishwater, and
whether the biscuits were intended for
ammunition or human consumption,
the poor creature generally gives in,
eats what is set before him and asks
no questions.
But you show yourself q wise man,
a Solomon indeed, in appreciating
the part that what we eat plays in
our health, prosperity and happiness.
and in your determination not to get
a wife who is so abysmally ignorant
Of food values that she does not know
the difference between a dainty salad
and something that will stick to a
mans bones and give him energy and
pep.
IT is particularly important that a
man should inquire into girls
idea about food before he pops the
question. because nowadays, when ev-
cry woman's chief ambition is to be-
come living skeleton, the average
wife Is only too prone to set Slim
ming diet before her husband in order
that she herself may not be tempted
to eat. Also, there is no denying that
IN trying to keep thin the great ma
jority of girls are suffering from mall
nutrition and are doctors bill to
their husbands. So, in picking out a
wife the preferred choice is not only
a girl who looks well fed herself but
who knows how to feed her man.

success of a marriage depends more

ing about her, her hand came in
contact with a cold piece of iron.
She ran her hand along its sur
face. It felt like an old forge.
She grasped it to steady herself,
and got to her feet, lighting with
all her might not to give way
again to the .surging rumbling in
her ears and the Wild betting OF
her heart. At least, she wasn't

She shoutedr aloud, and her
voice resounded with d mlaflled
roar against the low ceiling. !
AS her eyes gradually became ac-
customed to the dark, she reached
out toward the wall. taking a few
experimental steps away from the
prop that had been supporting
her. Her foot hit against a hard
obstruction, and stopping down.
she felt some pieces of scrap iron.
She realized that she must have
been brought into the cellar Of

At the far end Of the practically

two-Story wooden hotel, where she
had taken a room, and Kay sped
toward it.
Halfway there, the buzzing in
her ears increased to a deafening
roar, and an enveloping blaclness
sent her staggering ahead a few
more steps before she fell in a
dead faint.
A second later, Josh Hastings
was beside her. Picking her up,
he carried her few yards to
where he had left his car parked.
He put her hastily and none too
gently on the back seat, sprang in
and drove off at high speed.
