»WOMAN'S INTERESTS AND SUGOESTflONS FOR HOMEMAKERS \
“THE LOVE PENDULUM”
.! By MARION RUB1NCAM
The Mad Whirl
Chapter 64
For a while we did seem to have
lound the happiness that somehow
ve had been missing all these long
months. For a while everything
went the way we wanted It.
Winthrop's mother kept her prom
ise and advanced him enough money
to purchase an Interest in his firm.
This made our lucome sufficient to
:over all the expenses of our apart
ment, and to allow for the extrava
gant method of living that seemed
to please Winthrop.
I was sufficiently rested to stand
the active life We were suddenly
plunged info without getting the
sickening little pain in my shoulders
that 1 had carried almost all the
winter before. ' >
The saddest part of the new ar
rangement was that I had to give
the baby back to Mrs. Anderson but.
at least, I had the satisfaction of
knowing that little Connie had
stored up sufficient health under my
care in the summer to start her safe
ly on the winter months.
, Mrs. Anderson was Almost pathe
tically grateful for the care I had
. taken. It never seemed to occur to
■v her, to whom motherhood was only
"' an added burden, that the greatest
Joy of my summer, had been the ex
tra work her child had given me.
Winthrop was light-hearted as a
boy once we were back in the city.
Ho took every day like a new adven
ture. One day he purchased a new
car, another day he came home with
a very smart motoring outfit, and
for weeks afterwards he was pur
chasing new little luxuries to be put
In the machine.
He decided that it was too much
trouble to* drive himself, so hired a
chauffeur. He even wanted to move
to a more expensive apartment, but
I managed to stop him on this one
point. In spite of our Increased in
come, I knew we could not stand too
much expense.
September and October passed and
the so-called social aeason was in
Tull swing. My aunt came back to
town and opened up her house, and
my father arrived from Canada with
new plans for a winter's trip to
South Africa.
‘‘Don’t you ever want to stay
home,” I asked him one afternoon
when he dropped in for tea.
"What a little home body you are,
Connie,” he said, with an Indulgent
paternal smile. “I am always at
home because my home is the whole
world.”
Winthrop was taking all this In
eagerly. I had, at least, the satis
faction of knowing that my husband
was temperamentally better suited
to my own family than I was, If that
lould he called a satisfaction!
My father leaned far back In his
arm chair, his feet stretched out
towards the fireplace, a cigarette in
a jeweled holder hanging limply be
tween his long white fingers. He
affected a carelessness, a negligence

John had changed.
Ho had lost much of the manta!
lightness and frivolity that Mary had
loved. He had become a stolid,
moody soit about the house and of
late had spent more time away than
it suemd he should.
He had become top matter of fact,
and smiled so infrequently that Mary
sometimes wcmdered if he had for
gotten how.
Mary was worried and unhappy
about the thing. She wondered if,
after all, married life didn’t get a
bit too doll. She thought rather en
viously of the days wfien John used
to come bounding up the front steps
and with an enthusiastic word or two
to her mother, make for the library
where he knew she would be.
And then Mary's sister came for
a visit. Mary's sister was one of
those dizzy little folk, sclntillant, gay
and forever glad.
She noticed the first day of her
visit that John had selected a tie of
wonderful tone for his brown suit
and she told him so.
Tile Change.
John really grinnpd across the
table at her.
Pretty soon she was telling him
that she liked the way he brushed
his hair straight back, that It gave
his forehead a good line, and a few
days later she noticed that John
brought ice cream home for dinner
| without being told to, and the little
r sister not only thought It was kind,
but told John so.
John blossomed under the treat
ment. His old gayety and spon
taneity icturned. ,/Verily he was a
different man!
And then Mary realized-where her
mistake had been. She had forgot
ten to praise John—she had forgot
ten that he even needed to be com
plimented!
Mary hadn’t realized that being a
man doesn't make a sensitive in
dividual enjoy being taken for
granted. She hadn't realized that

but he was one of the Mire people
who could carry it off. Wlnthrop
tried to imitate it, but Wlnthrop wae
too near the real Bohemian to be
able to do it.
-.•I shall hire a small yacht at Cape
Town," Father went on. "It will be
ideal cruising In that district this
winter.”
“I'd like a private yacht too,”
Win said suddenly. "But I suppose
we can’t have one yet. Think of the
parties we could take out on) short
cruises, Connie!”
“I’d rather stay on land,” I an
swered promptly.
But this I knew was the wrong
thing to say. So I changed my
tactics at once.
That evening we went to a very
elaborate affair in honor of Nedda’s
engagement. Nedda had been all
summer deciding between two men,
one "the catch” of the season, an
other a young chap with nothing to
recommend him but a very lovable
personality. I suspected she cared
more for the latter, but having de
cided to marry the rich one, Nedda
stubbornly maintained she cared
most for him.
It was to be a very smart affair,
and Win was looking forward to it
to meeting some particularly fash
ionable people.
It was the old game again, to be
played as I played R last winter.
But this time I was going into it
whole heartedly. Win wanted mo
to look "smart.” I did. I wore a
gown of silver cloth Qiat clung much
too tightly, and was cut so low that
even Win was scandalized. I did
my hair in an extreme style and
wore heels that made walking a
difficult art.
I smoked cigarettes until Win pro
tested that I would ruin my health.
And I danced, and flirted and gos
siped and laughed and listened to in
anities from fat gentlemen possess
ing many dollars and no wit.
“The beautiful Gwendolyn is not
here tonight,” my father remarked
once.
“No, have you heard? They say
the Marsdens are going to cut her!”
Nedda chimed in, her sweet face
carrying a cherubic smile while she
gave us a new piece of gossip. “Oh,
haven’t you heard? Oh. nothing
much—a mysterious week-end, two
people lost on a back road, taking
refuge at an obAcure mountain inn—
the usual thing. Odd, our Gwen
could not have done it in a more
original fashion!”
“But I thought you liked Gwen,”
I protested, shocked for once out of
my veneer of worldliness.
“I adore her,” Nedda answered.
"Still, if she will get lost when mo
toring with attractive men—”
“That isn’t true,” Win cried sud
denly.

Neptune is in an aspect read as

Everybody knows that American
women have shapely legs. Perhaps
that’s why they cling so to the short
skirts.
The Parisian decrees, however, are
a great boon to the posessor of

CARNIVAL AT SO, AMBOY
[By Evening News Correspondent.]
SOUTH AMBOY. July 12.—Twelve
carloads of equipment comprised the
1 carnival that yesterday reached the
Stevendale grounds, where they will
remain for one week for the benefit
of the Mechanicsville Hose Company.
The moving and erection took but
little time and the people in charge
were ably assisted with advice from
every boy in town. Patrick Fallon
and Frederick Isely were awarded
the contract of moving.
Stevensdale took on a different
aspect last night. Instead of the
dismal look that is evident at night,
it lit up the entire city and acted
as a magnet. Thousands of men,
women and mostly children swarmed
must show! Look at the picture on
the right. The taffeta gown has a
modified hoop skirt and the lady
■wears old-fashioned short black
gloves. But what would grandma
say to see those bare arms exposed
to the shoulder. Surely, the long and
the short of it are being illustrated in
skirts and sleeves.
Even though one does not have to
live up to grandmother’s fashions
the most ungrandmotherly frock on
the left shows the way the skirt
lengths have increased. The cos
tume of oyster white is embroidered
In Bulgarian colors, a novelty being
the imitation of a bag with strap
over the shoulder embroidered on the
gown. The sleeves, quite a contrast
to the sleeveless grandmother cos
tume. fall loose and long over the
hand.

of the concessions were ready for
business. Automobiles were parked
in three tiers along the roadway and
almost blocked traffic on Ridgeway
avenue.
The Are laddies are working very
hard to make this affair a complete
success, and it looks as though for
tune is with them, as all the places
of amusement are being patronized
freely.
The contest for the silverware and
other prizes was held in the early
part of the night, and the piano will
be held Friday night..
Ample police protection is sup
plied by the city, and no disturbances
were evident last night. Several of
the autoists were warned about
parking without lights.
The carnival will continue for the
rest of the week, and the flremen
hope to erase a good part of the
mortgage on theiv new home.

Confessions Of A
Husband!
. The Man’s Side of Married Life
Bobble Recognizes a Friend
Bobble continued to make good
progress and to grow stronger every
day. Now It was difficult to per
suade him to stay In bed.
We continually had to Invent fresh
excuses and new games to keep him
occupied until Dr. Harris told us it
would be safe to let him get up
again.
Dot would have found it Impossi
ble to get along during these days
if it had not been for her friends.
They had come loyally to her aid
and helped with tho care of Bobbie
while ahe attended to the marketing
and to her other household duties.
Only one friend remained away
from our apartment. I wondered
why Edith had not called. I asked
myself whether it was because she
felt that Bobble’s illness was In some
way her fault.
She and I had been so busy talk
ing that day in the park that I had
forgotten to protect him from the
late afternoon chill.
But when Sunday came we had no
sooner finished breakfast than tho
doorbell rang—and it proved to be
Edith. George was still asleep, she
told us, but she had called to find
out how "dear little Bobbie” was
getting along.
The three of us talked for a few
minutes and then we went into Bob
ble's room.
When the little chap caught sight
of Edith he behaved as though he
had never seen a caller before. Ho
scrambled to his feet in an instant
and, leaning over tho side of his
crih, stretched out his hands to her.
"La-dee, la-dee!" he kept repeat

bered you," laughed Dot, "but you
haven't seen him for over a month."
I thought it would be an embar
rassing moment, but I had not
counted upon Edith.
“Perhaps I have been flirting with
him on the sly,” she said.
“I do believe you have," said Dot.
“Now I realize what a tremendous
influence you wield over men folk.”
“La-dee, la-dee!” insisted Bobbie.
There was nothing for Edith to do
but to take him into her lap. For
one who was not accustomed to
children she handled him very well.
I could not help thinking what a
shame it was that she had none of
her own; perhaps a baby would have
made her more satisfied with her
home and less interested in other
men. Perhaps .... but I was past
blaming Edith for what might have
happened.
I knew I was as much responsible
as she for the foolish affair that had
arisen and the stupid network ofi
lies and deceit from which I had not
yet freed myself.
I made up my mind that as soon
as Bobbie was well I would tell Dot
the truth, the whole truth, and not
try to offer any excuse for my con
duct. After all, 1 had done nothing
really wrong; the great harm was
in having concealed anything from
her.
Dot was glancing now from Bob
bie to me. Or was she looking at
Edith in whose arms Bobbie lay?
Could she have suspected anything?

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
Chicken, fish, vegetable or fruit is
delicious frozen. If a frozen fruit
salad is served at a dinner no other
salad or dessert is needed. Crisp,
curly endive is an attractive garnish,
and a few slices of the fresh fruit
or vegetable may be added when
serving.
Tomato Bisque Salad.
One quart can tomatoes, ^4 me
dium sized onion, 3 sprigs parsley,
’/a teaspoon celery salt, 2 cloves, 2
teaspoons sugar, teaspoon salt, V*
teaspoon pepper. 1 cup whipping
cream.
Cook tomatoes and seasonings for
twenty minutes. Rub through a fine
sieve. Season with salt and pepper,
and add to cream which has been
whipped stiff. Turn into a mold,
pack in ice and salt and freeze for
four hours. Serve on lettuce with
mayonnaise. The salad should be
frozen without turning.
Heavenly Salnd.
One-half pound marshmallows, %
cup pineapple cubes, % cup English
walnuts, 1 cup boiled salad dressing,
maraschino cherries.
Cut marshmallows in quarters.
Add to salad dressing. Add pine
apple cubes and nuts cut In small
pieces. If the marshmallows are not
perfectly fresh let the mixture stand
an hcur before packing in Ice and
salt. Freeze four hours. Serve on
curly endive and gajrnlsh with mara
schino cherries. Serve with cheese
cups and black coffee as the last
course of dinner.
Frozen Prune Salad.
Two cream cheeses or V6 cup cot
tage cheese. 12 prunes, 6 dates, 1 cup
English walnuts, 2 tablespoons
lemon Juice, 1 cup boiled salad dress
ing. 2 oranges, curly endive.
Mash cheese and add dressing.
Beat to a smooth paste. Use large
choice prunes, wash and soak over
night. Stone and fill cavities with
thumb. And he must be a. very
round person for his doorway Is as
round as tho moon!”
JJut he didn’t say it—he just
thought it. And he kept on looking
and looking.
Suddenly Chick saw a head stick
Itself cautiously out and look
around, about the reddest head he
had ever seen—much redder than he
was himself, and his other name was
’’lied” Squirrel. ’’H'm,” he sniffed.
”1 know whose head that is. It’s
Will Woodpecker’s.”
’’Sh!” warned Nancy. "Walt!"
Will came squeezing out when he
saw that the coast was clear, and
sat on his tall on the side of the
tree. The next second he disap
peared Inside Chick'3 front door.
"The rascal!" cried Chick indig

ltmon Juice and prunes to first mix
ture. Turn into a mold and pack in
salt and ice and let stand four hours.
Unmold and serve with sections of
orange arranged on a bed of endive.
French dressing poured over each
salad just before serving adds
piquancy to the dish. A dinner of

and this salad served with plain
brown bread sandwiches would be
splendid for a hot mid-summer eve

baking to be done I
IN fact, the New Perfection Oil Cook
Stove does all kinds of cooking per
fectly and economically. With a New
Perfection Oven it is possible to bake
the fluffiest of cakes and light, crisply
browned biscuits.
Note the long blue chimney on each
New Perfection burner. This provides
a draught which drives clean heat pro
duced by the white-tipped flame forcibly
against the cooking utensil, without
sooting it. Soot is simply good heat
gone to waste.
And remember that the white-tipped
flame gives the most heat. Through the
* mica door in the chimney you can al
ways see the flame and wick and adjust
them in a second.
Busy housekeepers appreciate the small
amount of attention that the New Per
fection requires. No coal or wood to
bring in, no ashes or litter to sweep up
and take out. It stands up well above
the floor and you can dust under and
around it in an instant. Select the four
burner size with cabinet top and New
Perfection Oven. It is made also in five,
three, two and one-burner sizes for any
who prefer them.
You will always get perfect results from
your oil stove if you use Aladdin Secur
ity Oil—it^s pure kerosene.
New Perfection Oil Cook Stoves are sold at most
