Confessions Of A Movie Otar
Cissy Decide* to Quit the Screen
Chapter 4>
"I ve told May how much I need
her two or three times," Cissy began.
"Ten times!” I correct d him.
"I’m pleased to know that you’ve
counted 'em! Delighted to And that
you care that little bit!" Cissy was
serious In spite of his fun. "Well,
Mrs. Scott, I’m here to offer myself
to four daughter for the eleventh
time I don;t deserve her—but I’ve
never seen the man that did!”
"Neither have I!” Motherdear
laughed softly.
"Nor will we ever!” Cissy became
very serious. “Now, Mrs. Scott, I’ve
told May all a man can tell a girl
he’s determined to marry. I didn’t
„ suppose I had another argume nt left,
but one turned up this morning.”
“Don’t keep us waiting for it,
Cissy!” Motherdear liked Cissy as
much as she could any man who had
decided to marry her daughter. He’s
the handsomest man that ever
smiled on a screen. His manners
are distinguished; often Motherdear
had wondered how he had come by
his charm. He was a college man.
His ass. ts were numerous. We wait
“v ed to hear what new one he had
U acquired.
SHE IS 85 AND
KNOWS 3 TRADES
"'SB*
ANGOLA. N. Y. — Mrs. Manora
Sweetland at S5 is expert at three
professions.
She's one of the best telegraph
operators ir. the country.
She’s a rapid and accurate sten
ographer.
And a successful wife and mother!
Mrs. Sweetland learned railway
telegraphy at Oberiin, O., almost 60
years ago. She was one of the
lirst operators to read code by ear.
After several years’ service as a
railway telegrapher. Mrs. Sweet
land resigned to marry. She reared
a family.
At 60, when her children were
grown and self-supporting, she took
a course in stenography. She
became secretary to an attorn.ey.
Mrs. Sweetland is still active and
says she’l! send her one hundredth
hirthdav greeting* over the wire.
"But If I loved Cissy,” said I to
myself, "he wouldn't need any more
than he possesses.” Then I com
pared him with Dick who certainly
was not an Adonis.
"I'm going to leave the movies!"
Cissy's announcement shocked
Motherdear and me into silence.
"I've got another job!”
"I hope you're not afraid that
movie production is getting slack?”
said my prudent Motherdear.
"It's not that, Mrs. Scott!”
"You’re not—not disgusted be
cause Dick Barnes Is going to be
starred?”
"Not a little bit! It's Just a little
inheritance. From my uncle. He's
the Cyrus Sheldon of New England,
you know.”
"No! I didn't know you belonged
to that family. Cissyi”
It was a great name. It represent
ed vast wealth. Everybody knew
that the heir to the Sheldon millions
had been killed in France. Every
body knew that the father never had
recovered from the shock of his
son’s death. Everybody supposed
that the property of the millionaire
had been willed to a certain univer
sity.
And behold—Cissy Sheldon—
movie hero—in for the bulk of it!
And me—May Scott—movie star
—urged to share it!
"You see what it means, Mrs.
Scott? May will not need to make
another film!"
"She has her contract. Cissy!”
Conscience dominates my Mother
dear.
"I’ll buy it from McMasters. So
that's settled. I’v got to buy my
own. But, of course, I haven't taken
that up yet. I’ve talked only with
my lawyers. Here's a letter front
my uncle’s attorneys. He never
wrote me, himself, after I went into
the movies. He swore he'd never
leave me a penny. But he did, be
cause he said it was his duty to sub
sidize the heir to the name.”

Asks All States
To Aid The Mothers
I1Y MBS. I .Alt IF. BROWN
Chairman, Child Welfare Committee,
National League of Women Voters
WASHINGTON.—Millions of wom
en rejoice over the enactment by
congress of the Sheppard-Towner
bill for the protection of mothers.
in every legislature, in every state,
the work must be carried on. Every
state legislature must accept the pro
vision of the federal act "through
legislative authority," must plan its
program of work and must match
the federal appropriation before real
cooperation and the work of reduc
ing the maternal and infant mortal
ity can be carried out nationally—
and effectively.
Thirty-five states now have child
welfare or child hygiene bureaus or
departments. Before 1017, when the
"Children's Year” was planned, di- !
rected by the children's bureau, there
were but seven.
The work received tremendous
help and Impetus through the wom
en of the nation, and interest has
continued so that the importance of ,
healthy, happy children to state and .
to nation is recognized.
Six Act In Advance
Six states, anticipating the pas
sage of the bill, have passed legis
lation authorizing their state health
or welfare agencies to cooperate
with the federal government. These
states — Minnesota, Pennsylvania.
New Hampshire, New Mexico, South
Dakota and Delaware—are in posi
tion to receive the 10,000 authorized
to each state the first of the year,
as soon as the actual appropriation
of money is made by congress and to l
$5,000 each for the ensuing four
years.
But to share in the annual $1,000,
000 appropriation during the five
year limit of the act, each state
must match the federal money, dol
lar for dollar—$5,000 plus a sum fig
ured on each state's population.
To secure acceptance from the leg
islatures of forty-two states, to se
cure appropriations matching that
of the federal government, that is
the task of Amu an women.
That is our next step.
• For Rest Hours
t H [P)
NEW TURK.—For that hour of
rest snatched between afternoon and
the dinner engagement, for that de
licious period of relaxation with
some friendly book just before the
waking hours end—a negligee in
some soft restful tone.
More and more are clever women
realizing the importance of garments
worn in their hours of seclusion and
rest. They must be the sort of gar
ments which inspire with a sense of
loveliness, yet which are simple.
MATAWAN
John Burgle and Edward Kelly
were each fined $10 yesterday by Re
corder Gustav Gcsswein on a drunk
and disorderly charge. The men
were picked up Sunday afternoon
near the plant of the Magnolia Metal
Company. During the drunk, which
had removed tnem of their senses,
some one made off with Kelly's
watch, while Burgle was stripped of
his clothing The fact that officer
Mulsoff found the men when he did
probably saved Burgle's life. A phy
sician worked over him for sometime
before it was known he would live.
Edward Noell, colored, has again
been causing trouble in the lower
end of Matawan borough. He was
arrested on Sunday night, but re
leased under probation by Recorder |

« .. ....—
Potato recipes will appeal to the
new bride—these have been pre
pared especially for the amateur !
cook. She must remember that there I
are different kinds of common pota- 1
toes. Some are naturally mealy and j
light and others are of the soggy
and woody brand.
Some cook quickly without the
“bone in the center" and others
cook raggedly on the outside and re
fuse to become tender in the center. '
If you And the potatoes doing this
add a cup of very cold water. This
stops the boiling and drives the heat
to the center of the potato.
Mashed Potatoes.
Five medium sized potatoes, 2'
tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt,
pepper, milk.
Pare potatoes and let stand in cold
water to completely cover for an
hour. Put on to cook in cold water.
Cover. When about half done, add
salt. Boil until tender and drain.
Shake the pan of potatoes over
the fire to make perfectly dry. Do
not put the cover back on the po
tatoes as this makes them soggy.
Put through a ricer or mash care
fully with a wire masher.
Be sure the potatoes are free from
lumps if a ricer is not used. Make
a little well through the mashed po
tatoes and fill this with milk. Put
over the fire, add butter and beat.
Add milk to make moist, beating well
wih the potato masher or a cut
spoon.
Season with more salt, if neces
sary. and pepper. Beat well and
servo at on-e The exact amount of
milk cannot be given, for some pota
toes seem to absorb more milk than
others. The richer the milk used for
mashed potatoes the better the dish.
Pare potatoes and slice very thinly.
Let stand in very cold water for half
an hour and drain. Put half lard
and half bacon fryings in frying pan.
The melted fat should be about a
quarter of an inch deep.
When very hot put in sliced pota
toes. sprinkle with salt and pepper
and cover. Cook over a hot fire 10
minutes with cover on. Remove
cover, reduce heat and finish cook
ing. The potatoes cook in their
steam for the 10 minutes they are
covered and crisp when uncovered.
French Fried Potatoes.
Pare potatoes and cut in strips
the length of the potato. The strips
should be about three quarters of an
inch wide and deep. Let stand an
hour in ice water. Drain and dry be
tween towels. Use old towels as the
potato water may stain.
Drop into deep hot fat and cook
until a light brown. Drain and
sprinkle with salt to serve. A frying
basket is convenient to have but a
wire dipper or skimmer may be used
to remove the potatoes from the fat.
Do not try to cook too many at a
time. Each piece should have room
at the top of the fat. When the fat
stops bubbling around the potatoes
they are done.
Potatoes Roasted With Meat.
When potatoes are roasted with
meat each potato should be seasoned
with salt and pepper when put into
the pan. Baste with the drippings lr
the roaster and allow an hour and
fifteen minutes for potatoes to cook
Do not choose large potatoes and
have them uniform in size. If the
roast is small and is to be done rare
the potatoes should be put in as soon
as the flour is browned.

Today's letter is unique It is the 1
story of an unconventional romance t
which lasted late into a woman's 1
life.
It began In a day when "subliros- l
tlon" was a term unknown outside
of chemical talk. 1
It betrays a certain denseness as i
to the feelings of the husband. 1 i
It is the story of a woman who 1
kept all of her marriage vows laltli
fully but—but—let the letter indi- j
cate what the husband must have |
missed. j i
"I am an old woman, the proud ;
mother of five sons, all professional ,
men,
"They honor their father ana their 1
mother. They honor family life be- 1
cause they saw honor and respect in j ;
the married life of their parents. 1
Yet they know and their father;
knows that there was one man I
whom their mother never dared to i
see.
"I loved this man nearly twenty- i
five years and my husband did not !
guess it. This man and my husband j i
were close friend* We are a hos-; i
pltable family and the man often I I
was our guek. In consequence. I j l
have known days of agony and j '
nights of prayer for strength to en- !
dure the presence of the man I I
loved.
"Finally, I became unable to en- *
dure the guilt of deceit. I confessed |
to my husband.
"He was sulky and cold at first,
but oh, how much better I felt!
“After that, my husband made life
easier by never inviting the man to
our home again. He changed some
what. became like a lover, wooed me
a second time.
"I perceived that If my husband
could act a part, I could respond.
le assured me he never had reased
o love me but that was hard to be*
leve.
“Because I did not love my hue
end. I believed he did not love me.
“But there was nothing In my life
le could complain of, for 1 shaped
nyself to the ideal of a woman such
s I knew he would wish a wife to

"You may call this life disloyal.

y than mere constancy ever could
te. I have willed to be loyal through
legradatien. agony and shame.
“1 am convinced that the wife who
las been loyal only because ehe has
he good fortune to be in love with
ler husband is an untempted eras
ure and a selfish one.
“By the agony of unremitting ef
ort, I achieved a fidelity which
nakes me happy.”
This is an honest confession of a
errible experience. It suggests the
hought that love in marriage wae
imee is taken as a strictly personal
tffair. For some women at> well as
or some men. marriage appears ta

cerns one Instead of two.
