Mythical
By MARTHA V. MONROE
My dear, you being my most intimate
friend, I write you first of all to an
nounce my engagement. Harry after
hanging about me for two years has
at last proposed. How much longer be
would have continued to do so had I
not by my own skillful manipulation
brought him to terms I don't know.
As it is, I bad a bard time landing him
and did so only after a number of ef
forts had failed.
Now, I wish to assure you, my dear,
that if you have occasion to bring a
man to terms, do not adopt any of the
old fasbloued methods that are well
known—that is, if you are playing a
man who is as adept at the game as
you. I tried a number of tbem on
Harry, and he was too smart for them
all. First I told him that I was in
tending to study the law and would
make a vow of celibacy that I might
be wedded ouly to my professional
work. He laughed me to scorn drew
ironical pictures of my arguing a case
before a jury said he would like to be
the judge before whom I pleaded a
case, and all that.
About tbe time of• this first failure
the European war broke out, and I
threatened to go abroad and take care
of sick and wounded soldiers. He said
he was thinking of going to France
aba enlisting in the Foreign legion.
I didn't go as a nurse, and he didn't
go as a soldier. He had met my bluff
with one of his own.
Then Howard Wentworth came to
town, and of all the girls here be seem
ed to prefer me. Taking advantage of
his preference, 1 encouraged him, es
pecially in presence of Harry. What
did the scamp do but devote himself
to Agnes Woodruff. I was frightened
for fear Bhe would get him away from
me and dropped Mr. Wentworth imme
diately. After I had done so Harry
gradually ceased to pay marked atten
tion to Agnes, but 1 knew that be was
still more or less devoted to her, and
It worried me.
Having heard that Aunt Caroline had
been in her youth skillful at tbe game
of hearts, I confessed my failures and
my anxiety to her and asked her to
help me.
"The trouble with your expedients,"
she said to me, "is that tbey are too
palpable. One of those you have tried
is excellent, but you did not apply It
in the right way. I refer to your at
tempt to pique your lover by accept
ing the attentions of another man.
Ton should not have called in the at
tentions of a real admirer, but an Im
aginary one."
Not understanding what Aunt Carrie
meant, I asked her to explain. She
did so and gave me the identical meth
od by which she brought Uncle John
to terms twenty years ago. I made
up my mind to try it.
My first move was to nerve myself
to treat Harry with indifference for a
stated period. This being a part of a
general plan. 1 was enabled to play
the part pretty well. I was careful
not to overact It, In order that be
might not see through what. I was up
to. Haviug apparently grown more in
different to him for three or four
months, 1 accepted an Invitation, from
Klinor Trask to make her a visit A
remained away six weeks, and when
I came home I talked a great deal to
my intimate girl friends about a fasci
nating fellow 1 had met. or, rather
had not met, during my visit, giving
them the impression that 1 had been
much taken up with blm. Of course-they
spread a report that I was either en
gaged or was likely to' be engaged,
and it reached Harry's ears.
Nevertheless so confident was he
that he could drop me and take me up
when be pleased that he placed but
little confidence in my preference for
him having been diverted to another
channel. He came to see me on my
return from my visit, twitted me on
having lost my heart during my ab
sence and asked for a description of
this "Adonis," as he called my myth
ical lover, who, had been so fortunate
as to win such a prize as myself. I
turned the conversation upon other
topics. Harry asked me to go to the
theater with him the next evening. 1
told him so decidedly that 1 had a pre
vious engagement that he did not a^k
for another evening.
Harry did not call again for some
time. Meanwhile I was talking to my
chums about the fascinating man 1
bad met, confident that what 1 said
would reach the man I really loved.
Tbe next time he called on me 1
telephoned to a florist, with whom I
had left an order for flowers to be
filled on call, to send them at once
Half an hour- later the flowers (Jams
and were brought Into the room to m»
where I was sitting with Harry. Pre
tending to be anxious about them, I
opened the box containing them. In
side was a little envelope. I seized1 It
and without opening It held it in' the
palm of my band.
Thia was altogether too much for
Harry's equanimity. He demanded to
see the card of the sender, and I
refused to give it to blm. He turned
very red. then pale, and 1 saw that
an emotional storm was raging within
btm. I let blm go on tt't be bad com
mitted himself, after wulch he lost all
Interest as to who. sent the flowers, for
wi wene engaged.
1 assure you,' my dear, 1 am very
happy, and Harry says he la very
happy, and. as for my mythical lover
I think it la perfectly honorable for me
to have used htm, for he can't be a bit
disappointed.! 7

A LECTURE Oft FRYING.
Rules
a
Famous Epieura Laid Down
For His Cook's Guidance.
Brillat-Savarin in his book "Phy
siologic du Gout" relates that one
day he called his cook up to the
dining room and gave her a lecture
on frying.
What he told her was that food of
any sort is dropped into boiling oil
or fat in order that the intense heat
•f this may instantly char the sur
face of the food, thereby forming a
thin but impermeable crust which
prevents any of the juice of the
food from escaping, and also pre
vents any of the grease from pene
trating.
Only fat that is boiling will ac
complish this. Fat that has not
reached the boiling point or that
has cooled down will soak into the
food before this has had a chance
to cook. The result will be a greasy
mess, unpalatable and indigestible.
It is because of this melted grease
that soaks so much fried stuff that
this is generally condemned by phy
sicians. Food properly fried is just
as digestible as when cooked in any
other way.
Brillat-Savarin also told his cook
that food must not be allowed to
stand in the grease in which it has
been fried, for as soon as it begins
to cool the grease begins to soak
through the crust. Nor can it be
fried properly unless completely
covered by-the boiling oil. As soon
as it is cooked it must be taken out
of the fat—with a wire skimmer—
and placed on a pad of absorbent,
paper—blotting paper is best, but
almost any clean unsized paper will
serve—in order that any grease re
maining on it may drain off.
If these instructions be carried
out the oil in which food has been
fried may be used over and over
again, for it does not absorb any of
the flavor of what has been cooked
in it. The writer stood once beside
a famous chef and watched him fry
successively in the same pot of boil
ing olive oil onions, fish apple frit
ters and eggs, merely straining the
oil through a hair sieve after each
cooking. And when he had finish
ed he put the oil aside for use on
another occasion.
Ths Bit* of the Saa Lion.
The bite of the sea lion is poison
ous besides, it is an ugly wound
from the manner in which it is in
flicted. Although the creature
moves painfully and slowly on land,
the motion of its head and neck is
extremely quick. The nock seems
to have an almost elastic quality.
One is surprised at its reach. The
sea lion is like a bulldog. When he
has caught hold he does not let go
at once, but sets his teeth firmly in
the flesh. Then he twists his head,
thg teeth being still imbedded in
the flesh, and without relinquishing
his grip he gives a quick jerk. The
result is to pull out a ragged piece
of-flesh if the animal has taken a
deep hold.—London Standard.
Cats.
Wild cats are now rarities in Eu
rope, though formerly they were
comparatively common in most parts
of the continent. The few survivors
occur mostly in Hungary and occa
sionally in Spain and Greece. In
Spain, by the way, the animals build
Bests in "trees -or among tall bam
boos for the rearing of their young,
though generally they prefer a crev
ice in rocky country in which to
make a lair. Our domesticated cat
is not derived from the untamable
European animal, but was introduc
ed ready tamed from Egypt.
A Joker Among. Birds.
The bluejay is a practical joker.
It is his habit to conceal himself in
a mass of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gath
er and when they are enjoying
themselves in their own fashion to
suddenly frighten them almost to
death by screaming out like a hawk.
Of course they scatter in every di
rection, and when they do so the
mischievous rascal gives vent to. a

In the trial of the suit instituted by
the Riggs National bank of Washing
ton against officials of the United
States treasury department Louis D.
Brandeis of Boston will act as special
counsel for the accused officials. The
bank has accused Secretary of the
Treasury William G. McAdoo. Treas
urer John Burke arid Comptroller of.
the Currency John Skelton Williams of
conspiracy to wreck It.
For many years Mr. Brandeis has
been a national figure in American pub
lic life. He is an advocate of social re
forms. a publicist of renown, a lawyer
of distinction, who has served as spe
cial counsel for tbe government iu
many celebrated cases. Mr. Brandeis
is regarded as an expert in legislation
and administration efficiency.
While Mr. Brandeis is largely a prod
uct of New England, be is not a Yan
kee. He was born of German-Jewish
parents in Kentucky in 1858. After a
preliminary education in Germany he
went to Harvard Law school, was a
professor there for awhile and then be
gan practice in Boston. Soon be was
recognized as one of the most success
ful lawyers and acquired one of tba
biggest practices in the city. Although
a man in public life. Mr. Brandeis is
not in politics. His use of politics has
been merely as a means to the end of
pushing social and economic move
ments. Several years ago his admirers
tried to get him to run for mayor of
Boston on a nonpartisan ticket, but
failed to get him interested.
