clear that his-greatest "heart’s

status of his friendship with Miss

self to accept the fact that the
most happily married folks are
likely to have friendships and in
terests outside the home.
But something deep in my con

menace to my peace of mind in
the sudden rushing off to Ruth

CANDY MADE
AT HOME
—By Hannah Wing
A Recognized Authority on AD
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.
IF you can make good fondant
you can make most of the
home-made candles.
Fondant is best made several
weeks before it is to be used. It
ripens and mellows with standing.
Sugar, like salt, will take mois
ture from the atmosphere. For an
amateur at the art, a clear, bright
day adds to the likelihood of sue- I
cess.
A thermometer is an aid, pro
vided it Is accurate and has been
adjusted to altitude.
If you are used to the old-fash
ioned tests these generally recog
nized temperatures may help:
The "soft ball’ stage corresponds
to 238 degrees Fahrenheit and is
used for fondant fudge and other
•oft taffy.
The "crack” stage corresponds
to 290 degrees Fahrenheit and is
used for peanut brittle, popcorn
balls and other brittle candies.
In making plain fondant remem
ber: I—To stir the ingredients
until the sugar is dissolved. 2
Cover the saucepan until the
sirup boils. 3—Wash down the
sides of the kettle with a soft
swab dipped in cold water to re
move crystals as fast as they
form. 4— Cook slowly until the
•oft ball stage. 6—Wash down
•ides of pan and pour sirup slowly
on the platter or slab moistened
with cold water. 6—Let stand
without disturbing until cool
around edges. 7—Work with
•patula or broad-edged knife by
lifting from the edge toward the
center until fondant is white. 8—
Knead with the hands until smooth
and soft. Place in earthen dish
until desired for use.
The correct proportions for fon
dant are 2 cupfuls of sugar, 1-3
cupful of water and teaspoon
ful of cream of tartar.
From fondant you can make
bonbons, cream, mints, patties,
wafers, and you can color and
flavor these as you choose. You
can use nuts or fruits for filling
the bonbons or you can use fon
dant for filling dates, figs or other
fruits.
You can make coffee fondant by
Using cloth-strained coffee Instead
of water.
You can mako maple fondant.l y
adding % cupful of maple sirup to
the plain fondant recipe.
If by any misforune younr fon
dant crystalizes and becomes
granular you may be able to re
deem it by adding half the original
■mount of water and recooking.
I* could see she felt was a woeful '
lack of tact.
"Is there anything in the ship
ping 'news to make you worry
about Peter Stanley’s corpora
tion?” I asked.
"Why—l suppose not,” stam
mered Betty. "I just thought you
ought to know, though, in case
you’re investing heavily or ■>*
’’Or worried about the ethics of
writing advertising copy for a
project which may not be safe
and sane?” I frowned.
“That’s it,” replied Betty, smfl- •
lag with relief at getting the
tKing clear. 7
"I’ll can Park and ask him
what he thinks of the situation/
I replied.
“Perhaps there isn’t any situa
tion," Betty said. “I’m just sort
of jumpy most of the time. You
know, I’ve had too many illustra
tions of how—fate can pounce
and how things can—go back on
you when they look most desir
able.”
Acting on t£e idead Betty had
given me, I called Park and
asked him if the conditions in
the shipping world were likely to
affect the Shipping Corporation.
“Bless your heart, no!” Park
assured me. “My father and I
went into, the subject thoroughly
this morning. He’s as conserva
tive as they come, Mrs. Anne
Harrison. And he feels that the
Shipping Corporation is filling a
need for exporters that will help
solve the tangle thinks are in.
There’s enough money back of it
and enough paid-in stock to tide
us over a far worse crisis than
the present one. You go right on
working for the success of the
organization and feel that you’re
doing something for the whole
shipping condition at the same
time. By the way, have you
. heard from—anyone?”
YOUR BEAUTY
THE VALUE OF SUNSHINE
By Maria Jeritza.
WWYERE I asked to name the
greatest material aid to
▼ ▼ beauty. I would be tempt
ed to answer “sunshine.”
And sunshine is free. Doubt
less that is why it is not appre
ciated more. Imagine the for
tune that might be reaped by the
person who could regulate our"
supply of sunshine, perhaps wrap
it in small packages and sell it as
a beauty preparation.
But what may be had for the
taking is not always highly val
ued. Such is human nature.
The woman is wise indeed who
chooses for her own a room
flooded with sunshine and who
basks at every opportunity in the
sun’s cheering, warming rays.
Os course, in summer most of
us do fare forth and spend many
hours in the sunshine. But in
strenuous days we too, often
neglect our friend, the sun.

leisure? Then draw your com

You may like to protect your

Now we know better. Our best
security lies In building dwellings

Z/T GUESS these were the ’

Pharaoh’s daughter found
little Moses in,” mused Bobby as
we stood by the bank of a river
In India and watched the tall
reeds swaying in the wind.
*T wouldn't be a bit surprised,
Bobby," said I. ”1 can just
imagine a basket floating among
these reeds, can’t you?”
"Indeed I can,” said Bobby.
“He must have been a dear little
baby.”
“How would you like to see
another kind of a basket in these
reeds with several little babies in
it?” Bunny asked with a twinkle,
in his eye.
“What do you mean, Bunny?”
asked Bobby eagerly.
“Come over here and I'll show
you," my little rabbit said, with
a great air of mystery. “But coine
very quietly. You musn’t frighten
them."
Softly we threaded our way
over the njgrshy land in which
the reeds grew. Slowly we fol
lowed Bunny, who stopped occa
sionally and lifted his paw as a
warning to us not to make any
noise.
In a moment he stopped and
beckoned to us to come nearer.
We moved up as quietly as two
mice and stood by Bunny like
two statues.
There swaying in the reeds
were two little basket-like balls.
We waited a moment and what
do you think popped its head out
of one and started to scold
angrily at us? A dear little bird!
Quick as a wink out of the
other little basket, not only
popped another little soft feath
ery head—but three tiny little
Reads'.
“There are your babies In a
basket in the bullrushes,” chuck
led Bunny under his breath.
“I wonder if there are any ba
bies in that other nest,” whispered
s Bobby, pointing to the first nest
where the little bird was still
scolding at us.
Bunny shook his head as if to
say “No” and then motioned to
uh to go away.
“There’s no use in frightening
( them any more than necessary,"
■f he said when we were a distance
I away.
“Indeed not,” I agreed. “But,
Bunny,” I asked, “what kind of
birds are they?”
“They’re baby sparrows,” an
nounced Bunny.
“Well,” said I, “they certainly
are cute. Perhaps that other
one’s eggs have not hatched out
yet, and that is why she was so
angry.”
“Not at all,” said Bunny. “And
it wasn’t a lady sparrow at all."
“No?” I queried.
“No,” Bunny continued, “that
was a gentleman.”
“Well,” said I, “I wonder where
his wife is.”
“Right in that next nest," Bun
ny answered.
“Do you mean to say that the
mother bird lives in one nest with
the babies and that th«' father
bird lives in another?”
“That’s exactly the case,” said
Bunny.
“That’s funny,” I laughed. “Per
haps he doesn’t like to be both

“Perhaps she doesn’t want him
around when she has so much
work to do taking care of her

THE ROBBER AND THE CASH BOX
A Story of a Girl Who Found a Shortage and Discovered a Man in
the Act of Taking the Office Funds.
> By Vincent G. Perry. <
Yesterday she had lost
her keys. Today the cash
drawer was short twenty
dollars. Martha counted her petty
cash again to make sure she was
not mistaken —but she wasn’t.
Again she went through the
cash. There was always a bal
ance of at least one hundred dol
lars carried for petty cash —and
/now her books could account for
just eighty. Twenty-dollars short*
The thought brought tears and
Martha retreated to the wash
room to remove the traces of
them.
She heard a key Inserted in the
lock of the outer room, the door
open and a step sound. Martha’s
heart pounded. Her mind went
Immediately to the lost keys.
She peeped out—and there, saunt
ering coolly- toward the cash
drawer, was a strange man. His
back was to her—a familiar back,
but certainly not that of the law
yer or his secretary. This was a
taller, stronger man. .
He had a key that opened the
cash drawer. Martha’s keys

horror as his hand came out of
the cash box and two bills were
stuffed in his pocket.
~ Quite unconscious of the fact
that he was being watched, the
man turned about. Martha stag

“Justin Thomas!” Sheer amaze

His reaction to the first blow,

To punish him for a normal act

If you want to fight, take some

4- last,” he smiled faintly. “Caught
at my old tricks, eh?”
“Oh, Justin!” Her first anger
had fled, and there was only pity
in Martha’s voice. “You poor
boy, are you—were you—have
you always been a thief? And I
thought you were a gentleman.”
He hung his head—he was
either laughing at her, or too
ashamed to face her.
At last he £poke. “You con
demn me for what circumstances
have forced upon me?” he asked.
“Condemn you? Oh, no! I
could never condemn thejman I
have promised to marry. But
why didn’t you tell me before—
and what made you come here?” *.
“Because I possess the keys,”
he answered lamely.
She clutched the telephone.
“What are you going to do?”
he * demanded.
“Telephone the police,” she
answered without fear.
“Don’t do- that,” he warned.
“You’ll regret it.”
“Threaten me, do you?” she
smiled >- grimly. “All right, do
, your worst, x Mr. Petty Thief.”
And with that she called the police
station.
Thomas stood back coolly as
she gave her message to head
quarters and asked for help.
“I suppose you’ll attempt escape
now,” she said as she put down
the telephone.
“No, what would be the use?
They’d only find me anyway. I
guess I’ll wait and take my med
icine.”
For several minutes they stood
there, silent, facing each other,
thinking deeply.
Barely a month ago Martha had
met this man In the country,
♦ ference between‘an accidental and
an intentional injury, and havfe
given both valuable instruction in
caution while she healed their In
jured feelings by making them love
each other all the more.-
But she was busy. She hadn’t
. time to inquire, much less to
teach. So she just ran out and, of
course, beat up the wrong child.
And mother was in the golf tour
nament.
It is occurrences such as this
that lay the foundation for many
a vicious trait of character.
Children subjected to such
j treatment Instinctively leant to
lie in an effort to avoid it.
Thejk. learn to shrink and tend
to become cowardly to save their
bodies.
In normal reaction they are
liable to become cruel, deceptive
i and sometimes, dishonest.
Besides, physical injury is often
done to children by these as
saults, which, between grown
people would subject the assailant
to liability to arrest on the charge
of assault and battery.
Os course a defenseless child,
being little and helpless, has no
such protection against physical
injury. This Injury to the nerv
ous system often manifests it
self in wakefulness, twitchings,
sometimes convulsions and ab
normal fear.
The moral of this Incident em
braces several Important prin
ciples.
Take personal - charge of your
own children.
Exercise patience in understand
ing and correcting' their difficul
ties.
Always treat them as justly as
a court is presumed to treat
litigants.
' Control them Intellectually
rather than by brute force.
Spare them from physical and
nervous Injury which may bear
serious consequences in their
future health and character.

► where she had gone for a rest
before new position.
There had been a short court
ship. Martha had loved thia
man and he had seemed to tore
her. Last night he had followed
her to the city. There had been
talk of a wedding, talK of a home.
It had all been so glorious—but
now what a shattering of dreams!
Martha just couldn’t stand it.
'•Go!” she cried suddenly. "Go,
before Is too late. I can’t give
you over to the police—l can’t.”
“But, dear”—he protested.
“Go! Don’t let me see you again,
- but KO-” she repeated.
Too late. A step sounded on

Justin extended a hand. "Be

to Miss Martha Curtis that I have
access to your cash box, Harry—
and why,” he. smiled.
“Why, of course. Miss CUrtis,
this is Mr. Thomas, the silent
partner of the firm.”
"And a very dumb one, too,”
Justin added, “so dumb that he
has come down two days in eno*

to come to the cash box for funds.
