"JuSt A Lady"

Mrs. Kimoall is small and
blond and quiet and unobtru-
sive, and emphatically chic. She
herself confesses that, although
she has published about 10 ar
ticles under various names and
two books, still no one
thinks of her as a writer, and
it remains her fate to continue
to be lust a lady
While living at restored Mount
Pleasant, near Philadelphia, one
of the loveliest Colonial houses,
she tried out the Jefferson
recipes and the Colonial way Of
living. Her amusing and inter
esting experiences appear this
month in an article in the Vir'
ginia Quarterly.
This practical experience
served to further her determi-
nation to attempt to translate
the jefferson recipes she had in
her possession in terms of gas
and electricity and refrigera-
ton. And that is exactly what
she has done. All the delicious
ices, the tender cakes, the super
lative ragouts and other dishes
which the author of the Decla-
ration of independence so pains
takingly transcribed in his own
hand while minister to the
court of Louis the XVI. appear
in this book reduced to proper
tions for four or six instead of
for the dozen or more of the

nEAR Miss Fairfax:
~ We are an old m arried
couple now, and wasted our
youth in being jealous Of each
other. spying and making re-
examinations. My wife was never
a pretty woman, nor did she ap-
peal to other men as I could see.
But couldn't help this jealousy.
It was constitutional
And in return, I got a kick
out of her jealousy of me. No, I
never appealed to the ladies,
but her raving and false accusa-
ton put me on a little pedestal
in my own estimation. Once I
heard a visiting niece say: III
Uncle Billy hadn't married Aunt
Sarah, no one else would. And
if she hadn't taken him, he'd
be an old bachelor. They're nice,
but the most unattractive couple
ever saw"
I couldn't resist telling this to
my wife, who was furious with
her niece, and now we aren't
jealous but something seems to
have gone out of our lives.
EX-JEALOUSY.
Well, my dear sir, even if the
zest of jealousy has departed
from your married life, 1t must
be a lot more peaceful. And
here's hoping that you catch up
with some of the sweetness you
missed in those earlier years
of spying and recriminations.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been in love with this
girl for a long, long time, but
when we started going together
and 1 had a good job, I couldn't
take her out because I had to
pay off an old debt. I never

What ever the girl may think,
it was honorable of you to pay
off this old debt rather than
spend your money on expensive
dates, when you probably owed
it to someone who needed it.
My advice to you is not to hide
your light under a bushel, but
tell the girl your reasons for ap-
pearing stingy, and say you're
looking forward to the time
when you can take her out. This

to condition yourself to the sight
