FEATURES. Use of the Refrigerator BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. I When the thermometer seems to lose itself in the high numbers it designates and the atmosphere is torrid, there are many more things than food that are the better for being put in a refrigerator. It is not alway: that the articles would spoil, but that they are so affected by the heat that they are not their best. They will not serve their purpose well without first being chilled, for instance, and this cooling freshens them and pre- vents that wilted appearance that is 80 disquieting to the home maker. The things actually n to make rooms' look mer or cooler, according to whether or not they are chilled.

Of course, you must eat the same as any one eise, but I can't have you making your meals on little friends of mine.

Discusses the i o | DorothyDix) i Sex Can She Find Happiness in Marriage on the In- stallment Plan?>—Miss Seventeen, Who Wants to Elope to Spite Her Father — Shall the Rich Widow Marry Her Penniless Admirer? JDEAR MISS DIX: T am going to marry a man whose business will take him away from home from Monday to Friday of each week. Do you think this will endanger our happiness? Another phase of the problem is that I cannot live alone under these conditions, and the only alternative would be to live with my mother-in-law. What about that? A. H. K. Answer: According to the old proverb, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” and you will have quite as good a chance of staying in love with your hushand, and keeping him in love with you, if you are married on the installment plan, so to speak, as you would if it were a steady job. The great trouble with matrimony is its monotony. It palls on men and women because it is the same deadly grind, vear in and year out, and after a time they get fed up on it, and are willing to do anything for a change. The real reason that so many married couples quarrel and argue over everything is because they are uneonsciously rebelling against this everlasting sameness, and are trying to put a little pep and ginger into the situation And the reason so many husbands and wives fall out is because they are tired of each other. They see too much of each other. They have told each other everything on earth they know over and over again, and they bore each other to tears. That is why a man will fall in Jove with some other woman not half as good-looking or attractive as his wife, and a woman will imagine that she has |a found her affinity in a long-haired poet or a lounge lizard, who fsn't fit to tie | her husband’s shoes. Undoubtedly, the great remedy for most domestic ills would be a part time marriage, and for husbands and wives not to be together too much, and you will achieve this in your Friday-to-Monday matrimonial arrangement Long absences between husbands and wives are dangerous. Short ones promote marital happiness. When a husband and wife are separated for a year, or for several years, they get weaned from each other. They get accustomed to doing without | each other. They form new ties and habits. They develop along different lines, and the danger is that when they come together again they will have changed beyond the possibility of Stment. But @ short absence merely plques their interest in each other, and gives them fresh things to talk about, and so makes them more interesting to each other As for vour living with your mother-n-law, whether that is a success or not depends principally on yourself. There is no more reason why you should not get along peaceably with her than with any other woman. DOROTHY DIX. [DEAR MISS DIX: Tam 17 years old, and am in love with a boy of I have a good home, but I have to be in at a certain time at night, and it T am five minutes late my father is furfous with me and scolds me. Most | of the time I can't help being a little late, but other times I just stay out to spite_him. My sweetheart suggests that we run away and get marrled secretly. He receives fairly good wuges, and it wouldn’t be so awfully long before he could get enough together for us to start housekeeping on. Please advise me. | “I WANT TO GO.” Answer: Don’t do it. my dear. Don't ruin vour life at 17 just because you are peeved with your father. Undoubtedly, you would hurt him, but you would t yourself a million_times more Seventeen is so young. You have got three times, may be four times 17 years more to live, and if you make a fatal mistake now, think how long vou have got to repent it. And, believe me, my child, you will make a mistake that you will bewail in sorrow and tears, if you make a secret marriage to a boy who can’t even make a living for you. vou are too young to marry at all. At 17 you are still a child, with a child’s tastes and desires. You haven't the faintest idea of what sort of a husband you are going to want when you are grown up. There are ten chances to one that any boy you marry now you will be sick and tired of by the time you are 21 . Then, you have not had your playtime. You are not ready to settle down and be tied to a house and babies. You want to dance, to run around, to have good times with the other boys and girls. Any girl is a fool who cuts herself out of this. In the first place ond place, a secret marriage is always a mistake wirl, and leaves a little shadow on her name. Marriage is not lone in the dark. Those who want the respect of their fellow creatur openly and in the sight of all men. You can’t break the laws of good society without having to pay for it. And in the third place, you have no right to marry a man who fsn't making a living. It isn't right to him because it crushes the very spirit out of a boy to be burdened with a family before he is able to support one, It kills all of his chances of getting along, because he never has the opportunity of looking for a better job when he dares not give up the poor one he has, nor can he save anything if it takes all that he makes, and more, to live on There is no more piteous figure than a poor debt-harried boy who has married before he was able to. urself, because no woman can be happy who is abjectly It isn't right to poor, wl to do without all the comforts and conveniences of life, and who brin ldren into the world for whom she cannot properly provide And it isn't right to your father, because he cannot let you starve, and you force him to work and support you and your family. Believe me, my dear, your father’s lectures are as nothing to the misery you will let yourself intd if you run away and marry this boy. DOROTHY DIX. P EAR MISS DIX: I am a widow with two children, and very well off financially. Some time ago I met a man about nine years my senior, who is very anxious to marry me. I think he would make a good husband and a good father to my children, but he is poor. Hardly makes a living. I have thought of giving him a few thousand dollars to put into his business, but I don't approve of a woman giving money to a man. I am not especially in love with this What do you think of the situation? A WIDOW. When a woman gives a man money, she usually loses the man Remember that rich widows are the predestined prey and go slow. DOROTHY DIX.

N THE GARDEN Experiments for the Amateur. “There are several garden flowers, Mr. Burbank, that I think have been among your subjects of experiment and which might be touched on now,” 1 mentioned one morning. “We have already quite a list,” an- swered Mr. Burbank, “but I think there might be added coreopsis, sal- vias asters and goldenrods.” Coreopsis are composites, are they not?" I asked. ‘“‘Yes, and asters, too,” said Mr. Bur- bank, as well as marigolds and dahlias and cosmos, of which we have already spoken. “The coreol offer a good op- portunity for amateurs, but as in the case of all composites, there are cer- tain difficulties about hybridizing them by hand-pollenation. “In order to Le sure that only the pollen from another flower reaches the pistil of a composite flower, the pollen already there must be removed shing it off or by blowing it away.
