IT MADE A DIFFERENCE The young woman in the pretty gown and displaying the becoming style of coiffure surveyed with some perplexity the young man who sup posedly called on her because he wanted to gaze into her eyes and lis ten to her well-modulated voice. He was doing neither, however. Ever since his arrival he had been burrowing in a heap of back numbers of a magazine popularly deemed at tractive only to feminine intellects. “For goodness’ sake, Albert,” she broke forth at last, “what on earth causes you to be so fascinated by those magazines? What’s the trou ble?” “I was just looking at the pictures,” explained the young man, earnestly. “They print such splendid views of houses sometimes. I was hunting them up.” “Houses!” cried the young woman. “I didn’t know you were interested in architecture!” “Oh,” said the young man, “I’m not —just as architecture. But I was try ing to see if any one had any really clever ideas, you know, as to plans. Sometimes another fellow will come out with exactly the thing you have in mind and can’t just figure out your self.” * “But why are you so interested in houses?” demanded the young wom an, a little bored. “Well, you see,” aßid the young man, "I’ve had a lot for a good long time out in a suburb and I rather thought maybe I’d put up a house on it. You can always—er—rent a house, you know. It seems to me like a good way to invest money. Doesn’t it to you?” “Why, I suppose so,” said the young woman, disinterestedly. “I don’t know much about those things when you come right down to it—investments, I mean.” "Well, you’d know about a house, wouldn’t you?” asked the young man, anxiously. “Whether it was right— and all that —things a man would never think about. You see, if I put one up I don’t want it to be a failure. You could sort of advise me, couldn’t you?” The young woman wrinkled her brow delicately and strove to appear polite. I* was difficult because she was a little resentful that he had not noticed the gown she had put on es pecially for his beaefit. "Goodness!” she cried. “My advice isn’t worth anything! How could I tell?” "Couldn’t you tell from the plans?” inquired the young man. “Those things always make my head ache,” protested the young wam an. “Like railway timetables and pro positions in geometry, I can’t make any sense out of them! Why don’t you buy bonds or stocks or something like that? Then you won’t have to bother. Isn’t there always an awful lot of trouble about owning houses?” "Oh, I don’t know,” said the young man, a trifle gloomily. "I’d rather build a house than buy bonds. I—er —oh, I can make a lot more out of it! This seems to be a nice house —look here!” "Ye-e-s,” said the young woman aft er glancing at the plan. "But isn’t it awfully small? Only six rooms!” “That isn’t so terribly little!” pro tested the young man. “There’s lots more room in a six-room house than a six-room flat, for example. Still, I don’t like that hall. I like a good sized hall that look * inviting when you come in—don’t you?” "I don’t see,” said the young woman a bit irritatedly, "why you should bother much about whether it’s invit ing or not when you’re going to rent it. People rent anything. What do you care?” The young man looked still more gloomy. “Oh, I like to have things right,” he said. "Do you think the bungalow style is more convenient or is an upstairs better? And is a i*orch on the side preferable to one right in front where everybody can break in on you when you’re in the hammock, reading?” “Mercy! I don’t know!” cried the young woman. “Please talk to me and put down those old magazines!” The young man discarded the liter ature. "There’s nothing in them any how,” he said. "That is, nothing I like any better than my own plan. You see, I’ve been sort of figuring it out in odd momenta and have drawn up one of my own.” He drew a care fully folded paper from his pocket and spread it out ofc the table. "It’s like this —can’t you take this chair where I can explain it to you?” The young woman came over to the table with the air of a polite martyr. “Oh, yes,” she said after a little scrutiny, "that’s very nice, I’m sure. Yes, I’d build it if I were you. I didn’t know you had a lot.” “You don’t seem interested in my house,” said the young man in an in jured tone. "Why, yes, I am,” declared the young woman, wandering away to the other side of the room. "I had kind of hoped you would be,” went on the young man slowly, finger ng his pencil nervously, "because — veil, you see, Adele, I’ve been hoping or so long now, that some time — vhen I asked you—you’d say yes— .nd the little house was to be —ours, ou know!” There was a little rush and the oung woman stood beside him. "Why -I didn’t know —I didn’t understand -give me those plans! Why, it’s a ?rfectly beautiful house!"

If thou dost not succeed thereby in making him feel at home, thou mayst at least induce him to wish himself there.” —Shacabac, the Wayfarer. The Left Over Problem. This is the season of the year when the housewife after the dinners and days of festivity, finds the larder stocked with all kinds of odds and ends. A cook who knows how to dis pose of left overs in an acceptable way is a real genius. She must have knowledge of right combinations and taste in their arrangement. Feas left from dinner, carefully washed, may be used in salads. Here is one that is so unusual that curios ity will cause us to try it, and satis faction will make it an old friend. Western Salad. Take one cup of canned peas, four tablespoonfuls of chopped onion, four tablespoonfuls of sweet pickled cu cumber or watermelon, sous table spoonfuls of chopped cheese, four hard cooked eggs chopped. Save out the yolks of two and put through a ricer to decorate the top. Soups of any variety may be made from left overs. The bones of the turkey and chicken makes a delicious soup, a cupful of tomato or less adds to the tastiness of any broth. Almost any vegetable may be added to a stock pot. Carrots, onions, turnip, cabbage, parsley, all giving a flavor alone, or in combination, which gives character to soup. Croquettes made of cold boiled rice served with jelly, are a welcome change with the meat course. They may take the place of vegetables. Any number of salad combinations may be made from left A roast pork salad is fine on a cold day. Use cel ery and pork cut in cubes, just as one would for a chicken salad. It is beet to use a simple boiled dree sing not too rich, with the salad, as the pork supplies the fat needed, even if lean, as it should be. Apple Tart with Cheese. Make a pie crust to line a deep pie plate. Fill with apples, sliced; sea son with sugar and nutmeg, or cinna mon. Cover with a thick layer of grated cheese when the pie Is half done. TAKE IT IN TIME.

THEY DISAPPROVED OF HER "I’ve seen her off the stage,” said the girl with the new mop coiffure, addressing the others at the bridge table, “and she is a perfect sight. Her complexion is painfully made up. It’s my deal, I believe. I hope it will be a no trumper. “Well, she sat next to us in a box at the theater the other night and of all the conceited people!” declared the girl with the Russian blouse. “She acted as if everybody in the place had come just to look at her. Oh, yes, it is my lead, isn’t it?” "Did you ever see such a mass of pure gold hair in your life?” put in the girl with the velvet shoes, arrang ing the dummy hand. "It seems too bad that it is a work of art instead of a work of nature. She has it done at the same beauty parlor, I do —I mean where I have my hair sham pooed.” "Why, I heard it was a perfectly beautiful wig,” said the girl with the mop coiffure. “She fixes ail the braids and curls first, and then just draws it on.” “Pardon me; you revoked on that trick,” politely said the girl with the Russian blouse. "I should think it would show around the edges or that it would slip. I think she has the most wonderful eyes and eyelashes of any actress on the stage.” “Yes, but they are dyed,” declared the girl with the velvet shoes. "They say her eyes were very small and she had seme kind of wonderful opera tion in Germany and the corners of her eyes were slit and that made them big and long. I wonder how she dyes her eyelashes?” “Dips them into the ink bottle, probably,” flippantly suggested the girl who was pivoting as dummy be cause she didn’t know the game. "Did you ever hear what made her feet so small?” No one had heard. “She was born that way,” solemnly declared the girl who didn’t know the game. "She never had slices taken off them.” “What a humorist!” sniffed the girl with the mop coiffure. “It’s too bad that some people we know weren’t so fortunate. I think I’ll try this a heart, for we must win this rubber, partner.” “It is almost sad to think that any body with such a refined face could have such a dreadful cigarette habit,” mourned the girl with the Russian blouse. “Why, do you know,” lower ing her voice and looking carefully around the room for possible eaves droppers, "I heard the other day that .the refused to go on when It was her cue the opening night because some body has mislaid her cigarette case She insisted that the show would have to wait until she found her cigarettes. Maybe that’s what makes her so droopy and languid in that last act where everybody just has to cry. I wept bucketfuls.” "Well, when she wasn’t smoking or dyeing her eyelashes or pulling on her wig did you ever hear what she doing?” inquired the girl who didn’t know the game, with a little steely glint in her eyes. "My cousin’s chum has been her understudy for the past year and her closest friend. She told me that this dreadful person was the most lovable woman she had ever known. Every Surday she makes the round of certain charitable instltu* tions and sings for the cripples and orphans and they all adore her. She has two little protegees that she is helping to perfect their musical edu cation. She has supported an invalid sister for years, and has sent her everywhere for her health. She bought a home for her mother and she told my sister’s chum that this year she would be able to get out of debt If she could manage to keep up through the season.” "It’s just what I should have ex pected of her,” declared the girl with the Russian blouse, ardently. "I’ve always adored her and I’m going to have my evening gown made like that apricot gown of hers.” “The hairdresser vowed and de clared that my hair was done exactly •he way she has hers done,” affirmed the girl with velvet shoes. “Let’s all go down to see her again,” luggested the girl with the mop coiffure. “I’ve done nothing but rave over her since I saw her. I’m so sorry, partner, that I trumped your ace.” "You might take your opera glasses next time and sit in the front row,” sweetly advised the girl who didn’t know the game. New Use for Liquid Air. Certain diseases of the skin have been treated by the application of the intensely cold liquid air. Cotton wool, wound lightly on the end of a rod, is dipped into the double-walled glass flask of liquid air and then pressed lightly on the affected part of the skin. The skin freezes and becomes in flamed and in from ten to twenty days the morbid growth sloughs off. But liquid air is expensive and it also acts too energetically. Australians the Tea Drinkers. The figures showing the amount of tea annually consumed a head of the population indicate that the tea drink ers of Great Britain must give way to those of Australasia, who use no less than 7.1 pounds a person every year. In the United Kingdom the amount Is about a pound less —namely: 6.03 pounds a head —and then we have Canada, 4 pounds; Holland, 1.4 pounds; United States, 1.3 pounds.— Magazine of Commerce.
