LWOMAN’S INTERESTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR HOMEMAKERS
f WHEN A WOMAN TELLS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING
Mechanically, John Ames walked
down the stairs with ua
“Can't he talk?" Mrs. Ames was
asking the physician In an tinder-'
tone.
“He can, but he doesn’t,” was the
reply.
Ones mors Lila and I climbed into
• he back seat of the car. while Tom
rulded Ames to the front seat with
him.
We had gone several miles when
l.ila broke the ellence.
"I wonder if he used to feel as
hut out as I do now?” she said. It
. asn't so much a question as simply
i. statement of her thought.
As ws rode on Tom made several
•ttempts to talk to Mr. Ames, but
vithout result. Mr. Ames simply
'odded if he answered at all, and
>hen turned again to watching the
l indscape.
"I think if he goes on this way
I shall go craay—yet I must keep
ossession of my senses If I am to
ver bring him back and know that
' he past is forgiven,” Lila spoke
gain, wistfully.
"Did he tell Tom why he didn't
»'Jt anyone know of his illness?” I
i uestloned.
"He said he didn't think anyone
' ared.”
I thought of the evening before
'he party, when I heard John Ames
miking to himself and then of his
lumbllng while he sat beside me at
i he table. I remembered I had won
lered if he were quite well, and I
lamed myself for not having paid
* more attention.
I could have spared him the lone
liness of going away without a
bought or word from his family. It
vas like him to do that, even when
be was not laboring under a condl
ilon which made him not wholly
\
responsible. It was just as he had
done all along, effaced himself.
As 1 thought the thing over it
seemed that had been John Ames'
big mistake. Though he had become
a gigantic figure In the financial
world, through the assertion of hi*
will, in his own home he had been
too gently retiring, too willing to
slip out of the picture if he thougnt
It would mean even a little passing
amusement for Lila.
I watched to see some sign of
recognition as w* turned into the
drive of the Ames mansion. I won
dered if the little vine-covered sum
mer houife, with it* well inside,
wouldn't awaken something; if the
scent of the roses dotting with pink
the green foliage which banked the
side of the house, wouldn't recall
some mid-summer memory. But at
all of it he visioned without any sign
of Interest.
It was as if he was dead, yet liv
ing.
I began to fear for the future. I
was afraid.
Mechanically he followed Tom up
the steps, across the veranda of his
own home, and then was led Into the
sitting room, where, hat In hand, he
sank down Into one of the big chairs.
The ride had evidently tired him.
When Tom took hts hat the elder
man made no effort to keep it. He
seemed to have lost all of his will.
"Would you like to lio down?”
Tom’s voice was gentle.
Ames nodded.
"I'll take him to his room.” Lila
had thrown her coat and hat on a
chur. She put ber arm around her
husband's shoulders and her cheek
against his.
He looked up with a new light In
his eyes.

doing him a favor."
“How could you do hi ma favor
by lying here like a ton of coal,
right on top of Spike Starfish?"
"Because Mr. Fisherman doesn’t
like Spike,” nodded Tubby. “And If
you’ll take my word for It and let
me go, I'll come back in a month

Cap'n Pennywinkle was thought

"Very well!” replied the fairy po

of introduction in person. Men may
do this when a matter of business is
pressing. Women, however, stamp
the envelope containing the intro
duction, slip a card of their own in
and send it by mail.
In case it is impossible to call upon
the feminine bearer of a note of in
troduction within 4S hours of the
time it is presented, a note should be
dispatched at once and hospitality
offered within a short time.
You will write a note of apprecia
tion to the friend who sent cards of
introduction to you for a friend. This
note should be sent within two or
three weeks after receiving the in

BY MARIA >' HALE
Even the popularity of the one
piece gown has not completely sent
the separate skirt into Fashion’s dis
card. Indeed, this season shows the
separate skirt very much In evi
dence.
The individuality and loveliness of
the new blouses with their long
waist lines is partly responsible for
this.
Then, too. the separate skirt is de
veloped into so many artistic modes
that often when worn with elaborate
blouses It looks like a costume.
The skirt of chinchilla satin with
the long hanging fringed side panels
gives evidence of this elaborate tend
ency. The blouse Is of pussy willow
satin crep<*.
Sport skirts claim the bigger part
of these separate '‘jupons.” They
are often worn with smart blouses
under the long coat. The satin
striped pussy willow crepe shows
how effectively the pleated and plain
models may be combined.
BEAUTY HINTS
Hard o& the complexion, aren't
they—these days with a tang in the
air? But one can’t let weather
keep on getting about.
So, of course, cold cream's the
thing!
And you wonder Just what kind
to get and whether you should use
it at night or in the morning and
just all about it.
Well, in the first place—making
your own isn't a bad idea. You can,
you know, and give it quite a nice
smell that it has when it comes
from the shop.
And ,if you’re a busy little lady
v/ho hasn't a whole lot of time to
spend in making the most of her
natural beauty, the best thing to do
is to use simply a cleansing cream
at night and then—pat !
You can make quite a wonderful
cleansing cream by mixing the fol
lowing: 1 ounce white wax, 1 ounce
spermaceti. B ounces mineral oil,
1H ounces rose water, 30 grait
borax, 15 drops oil of bitter almonds
Melt the oils and waxes together,
getting them only hot enough to
blend, but not letting them boil.
Warm the rose water slightly. Add
the borax to it and then pour this
into the oil which has meantime,
been removed from the heat.
Stir and beat until the mass is
about the consistency of thick
cream. Then pour into jars and let
get cold. .
You'll find the result of your ef
ort is a cream so smooth and so
fine that it will easily penetrate the
pores of your skin and thus loosen
the grimed-in dirt.
TRY THIS FOR INDIGESTION
Foley Cathartic Tablets are just
the thing for constipation. Their
action is wholesome and thoroughly
cleansing, without gripping, nausea
or inconvenience. They banish head
ache, biliousness, bloating, gas, bad
breath, coated tongue and other
symptoms of disordered digestion.
Mrs. H. J. Mart-hard, 36 Lawrence
St., Salem, Mass., writes: "I used
Foley Cathartic Tablets for consti
pation with good results. I keep
them in the house.” Sold every

Gravy
If the gravy boils and thus be
comes lumpy or the ingredients have
a tendency to separate, add a little
very hot water and stir vigorously.
Its original smoothness will be re
stored.

The foolish man who built
his house on the sand
He gave an example in folly winch anybody can understand.
It isnft ao easy, however, to sense the mistake o£ trying to build
the body on foods which lack essential nourishment. !
Here, ng»n, is a foundation of sand which gives “way when
the test comes.
Many a food that tastes good lacks honesty cf nourishment to
equal it’s taste. Thus it tempts the appetite into mistakes that
often are costly.
Grape-Nuts is a food which helps build bodily endurance for
life’s stress and storm. The full nourishment of wheat and malted
barley, together with the vital mineral salts so necessary to bone
structure and red blood corpuscles, with phosphates for the brain,
is retained in Grape-Nuts. The long baking process by which
Grape-Nuts is made gives the food a natural sweetness and an
unusual ease of digestibility and assimilation.
Served with cream or milk, Grape-Nuts is fully nourishing, and
\ whether eaten as a cereal at breakfast or lunch, or made into a
pudding for dinner, Grape-Nuts has a particular delight for the
appetite. Sold by grocers.

The colder the weather the heart
ier food a man needs. He who must
carry his dinner during the winter
months will appreciate a bottle of
hot soup, substantial sandwiches and
a generous dessert. Starch and sugar
are quick energy-producing foods
and the proportion should be in
creased in the winter dinner pail.
Muscle building foods must cf
course form a large part of the din
ner and minerals must be introduced
in fruits.
During the cold weather fill the
thermos bottle with a nourishing
soup. It will do more toward keep
ing a hard working man fit than
coffee. Split pea soup, dried bean
soup, potato soup, any heavy cream
soup should prove acceptable.
These menus are well balanced
and practical.
Split pea soup, ground beef and
tomato catsup sandwiches, rye bread
and peanut butter sandwiches, cho
colate cake, apples.
Dried bean soup, pork sandwiches,
onion sandwiches, baked apple with
top milk, doughnuts.
Spilt Pea Soup
One cup dried split peas, 2 quarts
cold water, (4 onion, 1 teaspoon su
gar. 3 tablespoons bacon fat, 2 table
spoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 14 tea
spoon pepper, 2 cups milk.
Pick over peas and wash through
several waters. Soak over night in
water to cover. Drain and put in
cold water with the sugar and onion.
Simmer three or four hours until
soft. Melt bacon fat, stir in flour
and add milk gradually. Hub the
cooked peas through a sieve and add
to the white sauce. The pea puree
should be quite thin. Add more milk
If the soup is too thick. The pea
puree may be prepared and kept on
ice for a day or two.
The sandwiches in the first menu
are made of left-over cooked beef,

2 tablespoons butter, milk.
