A we produce such Inrge quantities of cheese In this country mid as Just now we arc asked lo uso cheese, par ticularly cottage cheese, a few ways of preparing cheese dishes will lie up predated. Take the lilts of dried cheese, grnto them, not wnxtlni; n bit; this muy bd used ns a flavor for milk .toast, and n cream of cheese soup. In cscnlloped dishes, ns sandwich fillings mid In numerous ways which will occur to nny thinking cook. Cottage cheeso with chopped cher ries nuikos n most delicious sandwich filling nt least the college girls never find half enough to go round. An omelet sprinkled with n generous spoonful or two of grated cliccso will make n much more nourishing dlsli. Put tho cheese on Just ns It Is folded. Cheeso canapes may be served as first coursu at dinner or luncheon. Sprend tho wcll-hensoned cottogo or cream cheeso on well-buttered brenn. cut In rounds or shaped In nny form desired, finish with n border of finely chopped olives nnd a pleco of pimento cut In fancy shupo for the center. Cottago cheese with boiled dressing served on lettuce Is a most delicious snlnd combination. Cheese Sandwiches.

Do not uso a stove-lid lifter or n stick of wood for a hammer; have a tool box In tho kitchen where such things may be quickly found. Uritised nulls nnd gouged fingers nro painful nnd often stay with us for months. Have n soap sha cr, In which gather nil pieces of unscentod sonp to use In tho dlshpan; this will h.. a saving of both soap nnd (lie hands. Save steps by uMtig n tray or n wiro dish drainer In removing dishes from the dining table. Ono trip saved Is worth tho mental effort and many times tho trips mny be divided by ten. When standing for nny purpose, such ns Ironing, If n stool Is not con venient to use, fold n heavy rug to stand upon. Tho spring under the feet will make n great difference, taking the pressure off tho tired feet.

In many homes where ryo Is Htlll found In quanti ties It should be used sparingly, ns It will not ho plentiful us long as It Is used as food for the armies. In many of our wnr recipes we find whnlfi wlient flour used as n wheut sul stlttife, whlrh It Is not. Whole wheat Hour used with barley flour to lessen the use of wlient Is Justified, hut the use of whole wlient Hour as a wlient substitute Is not conforming to the rules of conservation. Honey Drop Cakes.

This makes n good main dish, which will use up leftover meats. Add n cupful of stoned chopped dotes to a loaf of brend when ready for tho pan. Data Taplcoa.

It seems to me that It Is high time to cease review ing the wanderings nnd speculations of prior decisions upon the question whether n dojj Is or Is not property." mmmmmmmmmtmsumi The Empty House i By Pannls Barnstt Llotky (Copyright, 191 S,. by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) The little brown car had swung with n soft humming sound down tho smooth road, nnd Its sole occupant was sitting with her hands In her hip, looking dreamily out at the landscape nnd tho rows of houses Hint they passed. 2'jiny a one passing by on the sldewnlk might hnve envied tho lovely young womnn who snt there, so slen der nnd aristocratic, In the little brown enr, but she herself wns not even con scious nt the looks, whether envious or ndmlring, thut wero cast In her direc tion. If, ns the poets sny, "the eyes are mirrors of tho soul," then It wns very nppnrent that Klnlno Hargrove wns not hnppy, for the sad, far-awoy ex pression on her face told Its own story. As the machine turned tho corner of tho street, however, she began to take more Interest In hor surroundings, nnd she watched carefully the houses she passed. Suddenly she leaned forwnrd and spoke to the chauffeur. "Stop, Jacques," she commnnded, sharply, "nt the houso To Let.'" Tho brakes ground sharply, nnd Elalno stepped out nt once. She looked again nnd drew In her brent h quickly. A wnve of crimson flooded her face. The chauffeur wondered nt the sudden order, for they wero nl rendy late for dinner, nnd ho did not think that his mistress could possibly want to look nt tills empty house. The glory of a perfect spring day was over all tho out-of-doors. It seemed n day to tempt nnynne to remain In the open, nnd drink In to tho full tho henutles of bountiful nature, but evi dently this did not nttract the girl, for she mounted the steps of the house nt once. She looked n round nt Jacques after she had rung the bell. "Wait till I como out," she said. 6 A slovenly-looking womnn suddenly nppenred In response to her ring. She wns ns dusty looking, somehow, ns the house wns, and quite ns dejected look ing; but Klnlno scarcely saw her ns she spoke: "I wont to seo tho honse," sold the girl. "I suppose I can go In?" "Well, It's gettln' pretty Inte, mum. nnd I don't think as you'd bo secln' much," replied tho old womnn. "You can glvo mo your candle," said Elaine, quickly, ns sho slipped n coin Into the not over clean hand nnd with a little gnsp, the womnn yielded. Tho front door wns openefl nnd Klnlne went through tho passage nnd glided upstairs like n ghost, the womnn promptly returning to tho lower re gions, whenco sho had come. Light ing tho dirty cnndlo from n gns Jet burning In tho passngowny, Elalno went from ono room to another with qulck nervous haste. Her faco was quite colorless, but her eyes burned with n feverish light that made her seem very different from the brllllnnt lady of fashion that most people knew ns Elninc Hnrgrnve. Here sho was but n girl ; nnd faco to face with memory, n memory that wns still nllve nfter three years of bitter struggle the struggle of trying to forget For today wns tho third nnnlversnry of what w; to have been Elaine Har grove's wedding day, but that wedding never took plnco; and on tho third anniversary of "what might hnve heen," ns Elninc expressed It herself, nnd Just homo from travels that had taken her Into the faraway corners of tho world, tho girl hnd become pos sessed with tho deslro Jo sec the plnce that otico she had expected to call "home." Sho stopped for a moment In her fllttlirg from room to room nnd looked nbout her. Ilere, but three short yenrs before, she had planned to como ns n hnppy bride, and hero she hnd left tho mnn she loved nfter their hitter quar rel, cnlled him "Purltnn" nnd "Prude," becnuse ho would not countenance the wnys of her "set." How empty nnd false wero the wnys of that very same set, she had come bitterly to realize. Just ns In her heart of hearts sho had come to respect nil tho moro tho man who would not bow down to thera. And how empty was her heart as well, I She could see him plainly, If she but shut her eyes for a moment, as ho stood beforo her that day so long ago, so tnll and proud and good to look nt. lio had nlwnys taken such prldo In his good looks, nil the more so because ho had not belonged to her "set," but hnd como to tho city unknown, nnd had worked up to an enviable position. Sho could almost hear again his earnest voice ns he remonstrated with her on thut last fateful day In this house. "I know that I do not belong to this 'set' that you seem to think so much of, dear," he said, "and perhaps thnt Is why I And It so hard to accustom myself to the things that they do, but I nm certain that I have too much regard for the woman who Is to bo my wife to want to seo her follow In tho footsteps of peoplo whoso chief aim In llfo seems to be to attract tho atten tion of others. You nro made for bet ter things than this, Elaine, dear. Won't you be guided by me In this thing nnd glTO these people np? Please, dear, for my sakel" Sho recalled now how sho hnd flung nwny from him, although In her henrt she hnd known even then thnt ho was right, hut some perverse spirit seemed to urgo her not to give In; how she bad refused to do what be asked of her, telling' her "that she would live her life without htm, and thnt sho real ized now that It wns n mtstnkc to ex pect nn outsider n plebeian to un derstand tho wnys of her kind of people." Even now, nfter three yenrs, Elalno still winced as she thought of those hasty words of hers. How sho must have hurt him and nil tho tlmo sho was hurting herself ns well; and lie had let her go on without n word of protest, In tho end gravely agreeing with her, nnd snylng thnt ho would never nsk her to come back again. And he hndn't. And they never met nor wrote. Elaine's eyes were opened now, but of course It wns far too late to give In and acknowledge herself In the wrong. Threo yenrs of tlmo hnd rolled be tween them, the bur of passionnto words on either sldo keeping them apart. She started once moro on her pil grimage through tho rooms. First tho dining room, with the familiar pa per, which sho herself hnd selected. He had not been so well-off then, and -hnd Insisted upon living In the stylo thnt his own cnrnlngs would entitle them to hut he hnd worked hard to give her as many ns possible of tho luxuries that sho had been accus tomed to. "So small n thing to mean so lnrgo -n loss," murmured tho girl to herself. Sho had read thoso words somewhere., nnd now they enmo Into her mind. Sho stood for n time looking out through tho clouded windows. Great tears welled up In her eyes nnd poured down over her face ns If the barriers wero suddenly let down to allow tides of memory to flow In nnd engulf her. Sho hnd never allowed herself to think In this way before, but the spirit of love seemed to have como back to the dusty little room from which ho hnd flown threo yenrs before. For her tlmo passed unheeded. , " v Darkness fell. Outside, James felt very cross. Tho Iden of nnyono spend Ing so much time looking nt nn empty, house I Ho folded his arms nnd went hnlf nsleep. Down In tho bnsement, tlie enrc-tnker, hnvlng finished her supper, enme up, and, forgetting nil nbout her visitor, or, thinking thnt sho hnd surely gone nwny long ago, closed the door and went home. And Klnlno dreamed on for how long, she knew not. But suddenly sho awoke to reality with n stnrt, to no tice thnt it hnd grown very dnrk out side, nnd thnt thero were footsteps coming through tho hnll. Then ennio the sound of n voice thnt seemed fa miliar, r "Hold tho light low there, please. 1 wish to seo all tho rooms. There, thnnk you ; that's better." Elnlno hnd crept to the door, nnd wns listening with n white face. Sho hndn glimpse of the two men ns they pnssed tho door one, evidently tho night wntchmnn, holdlhg tho lnnip, nnd the other, the mnn she had sent away three years before. "So he, too, has not forgotten," thought Elaine, bitterly. She wondered If she should speak make her presence known but ench time she tried to her courngo failed her. Sho looked again. Yes, there h wns I Standing In front of tho open fireplace. Once moro sho peered through the open door, "now changed ho wns," she snld to herself, "now much older nnd grayer." Her faco was still wet with tho troces of her recent tears, but she did not even know It ns she went up nnd tnpped gently on JJio wnll between tho two rooms, ne turned round suddenly with a grent stnrt. Then ho enmo to the door nnd opened It wider. Elatne walked Into tho room. All the light from tho lamp seemed to shine on the slender figure, stnnding there so erect anil proud. The girl's faco was whlto and strained, but her blue eyes shono like twin stnrs. Tho mnn stnrted bnck with n little cry of unutterable nstonlshment. "Elninc 1 GoodOodi" "Listen." she snld softly, her hnnds outstretched. "Let me humble myself whllo I can. I need you. Richard I want you you and the little house." li'Elaino Elninc " The man could but whisper her name, for the sudden sight of her seemed to havo dazed him. "Elaine why did you como?" Quite suddenly all the fear and prldn seemed to die out of tho girl's heart. "Heenuso I loved you," sho whispered softly. "Recnuso In tho old empty houso I enme to understand that If -could never bo hnppy without you. When I stood In the little room that wo had planned together" her volco broke "Richard, forglvo me " She wns In his nrms, sobbing out the words sho could not spenk, nnd his nrms were nround her ns ho murmur ed : "It's for you to forglvo me, dear est. My little girl I And I thought that you did not care I" Sho clung to him, even ns ho held her, as ho kissed Up nnd brow nnd hair. Ho could not let her go. He would never let her go again.
