everybody had the same furniture and
the same car. Said the wives ought to
wear numbers on their denim shirts so
the husbands could tell them apart. But
he got over it. He came around"
Betty asked her how she managed it,
and Enid smiled reminiScently. By using
psychology, she said. By getting him to
plant an azalea next to the walk. By
making him accept invitations to neigh
bors' houses three or four times week

and Steve would, too.
Men only pretend to be billy
goats. Betty. At heart they're sheep. Get
them running with the flock and they're
cured for good
And SO the campaign was mapped.
Steve would be named to committee of
the PieterSkill improvement Association.
The meetings would be held at the Con-
Ions so he couldn't stay away. Enid
would pass the word to the wives. The
wives would enlist the husbands. They'd
let Steve take the lead in a project of
some kind, and pretty soon he'd get in
terested and forget his fooliShness. Betty
nodded, but obviously. Steve wouldn't
like it, she said. He just wouldn't like it.
But, surprisingly. when she brought
the matter up, he grinned at her. He had
craggy face, all peaks and hollowS, and
it was always confusing her by grinning
at unexpected times. So that was the way
the wind was blowing, was it? he asked.
So the girls had decided he should be on
the committee?
mot the girls, dear. The men = the
men want your help"
''Oh, sure" he said, ''oh, sure and
walked outside and started playing catch
on the newly planted grass with John,
who was nine but had no more sense
than his father.
The meeting was held later on that
night. When everyone was settled, Harry
Salter leaned back and asked Steve what,
as a newcomer, he'd noticed around

then some other things about Steve Con-
lon we're remembered and mulled over.
For instance, the crack he'd made about
the only way he could tell his house from
the others was by counting from the
corner. Like the fact that he never
washed his car on Saturday afternoons
when everybody else washed theirs.
Most of the men just shrugged and
pointed out that if a man wants to be
peculiar you can't change him short of
court order. But the wives knew better.
Enid Clapp was chosen to carry the
word to Betty.
The two women sat on the Conlon
patio. Enid preached the matter tact
fully, and Betty caught on at once.
I've told Steve she said. But he's
stubborn"
She was small, pretty woman, little
uncertain of herself. Enid, who was tall
and dark and decisive, watched her care
fully.
Like his golf," Betty said. BE
fore talked him into buying this place.

way out in the country i horrible old
thing, full of stairs and dark corners. He
played golf then once in a while. But

''And the barbecue. asked Steve the
other day to build us one like every
body elSe's. He'd hardly speak to me the
rest of the evening
you poor kid"
Hes just like his father. Stubborn.
All the Conlons are stubborn. And nom
conformiSts. Why, Steve even has the
kids looking at things the way he does.
I'm the only sensible one in the family"
Enid leaned forward and put her hand
on Betty'S arm.
That's the important thing. AS long
as you've got sense, it's all right. Hus-
bands can be trained. Don't spread it
around, but when we first moved out
here Joe was lot like Steve. Claimed

Tissue-Poper Fringe
Proves Effective
2. u. q Hera,rln


For L. G. S. of Washington.
Gnat bites are poisonous to
my aunt, too. and they gave
her a bad time last summer,
in spite of repellents and a
veil.
This year we hit on the idea
OF a two and a half or three
inch fringe Of tissue paper all
around the brim of her gar
dening hat. The tissue is four
thicknesSes, with about a one
inch uncut edge which she
pins to her hat brim.
This proved so effective that
my husband had fringe put
on his work hat. We live in
the country and the gnats are
thick. But with the fringe on
the hats. no repellent is neces-
Sary on faces, ears or neck.
Store-bought fringe might
be as effective, but the tissue
paper is fine and lasts for
weeks. Do try it.
Now: I can make excellent
meringue, but often the edge
OF my pie crust gets wet when
the meringue is cooked. I'd
like to know why-and what
to do about it.
Thank you for this helpful
and interesting feature.

did, but they were not for
fried pies.
A long while ago an old Ne
gro cook from Kentucky
showed me how to make real
fried pies, viz:
Take ordinary pie crust
dough; cut it in an oblong
about 4 by 8 inches (or any
size desirable; round the
edges. On one half of dough
put about a tablespoon of
cooked fruit; using very little
juice Tin all cases fruit must
be cooked. Apricots are ex-
ceptionally good. The fruit
must be about u inch from
edge. Then lap the other half
of dough over and pinch to-
gether as you do in any pie.
Have a skillet of hot grease
bacon is really good grease
for thiS). Have just enough
grease to come halfway up the
thickness of the pie. When
brown, turn with a pancake
turner Il always use two pam
cake turner's as grease does not
spatter this way and there is
less danger of breaking the
pie). When both sides are
Drowned, place on absorbent
paper. These pies are delicious
for children's lunch and men
really enjoy them, For the
children. the pies can be made
smaller.

much enjoyment from this
