Butter the size of an egg means one heaping tablespoon of the fat or two oun Also sixteen table spoons (liquid measure) equals one cup. Sixteen level tablespoons (dry measure) or elght rounded tablespoons equal one cup. Whether the cup equals one-half pound, more or less, depends upon whether the insredients are flour, powdered sugar, butter, etc There are the two sealo measure- ments, the apothecary and the averdu- pois. The former requires but twelve ounces to the pound, while the latter tukes sixteen ounces.

As good results in cooking depend so largely on accurite measurements, the competent housewife is extremely careful to use the exact amounts a recipe calls for. It is helpful to know comparative weights and measures. more AL, HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Life Is Serious Enough.

She forms a friendship with an attractive bachelor, Perry Macdonald, who at jirst pays her conspicuous attentions and then later falls in love with Natalie. Ar- thur has made a fool of himself over Mimi, a dancer, and Natalie has al- most done the same thing in her in- fatuation for Lucien Bartlett, @ mar- ried man. When John Dennison learns all this he realizes for the first time in his life that he is responsible for his family. He blames Martha for her friendship with Perry, and she retaliates by saying that he is to blame for having neglected them all. CHAPTER Lk Readjustment.

Arthur, having satisfied himself that nothing serious had resulted from his impulsive act in Mimi's apartment, went on with his life as usual. He, more than anyv of the others, seemed changed. The joy of living had gone out of him: he was subdued, grave, and for the first time in months he appeared at the office early and applied himself assiduously to his work SONNYSAYIN(C BY FANNY Y.

He wondered what had become of all his wild feeling for Mimi. Once he had threatened to kill himself if refused to marry him; now it was a matter of supreme in difference to him whether or not he ever saw her again, It was strange, to say the least. Of course, the fact that he had eo nearly precipitated a catastrophe was largely responsible for this. For two days he had believed himself a mur- derer, and it was only a plece of luck that he wasn’t. Blind rage had en- veloped him that day. Arthur shud- dered whenever he thought of this Natalie had seen Lucien, and explained everything to him. H tried to expostulate with her. The thought of losing her, of having this gay young personality slip out of his lifo forever, seemed intolerable to him. And yet Natalle seemed ‘hanged. She ‘was firmer, more seri- ous. He could not move her; she scemed entirely sure of herself, and of the fact that their friendship was over. Until after she had said good-bye to him Natalie did not realize how much she had been seeing him. For weeks she had lost track of the old crowd, and now she was thrown back on her- self, because she felt no desire to pick up her life where she had left it. For this reason she was at home a great deal, and the apartment was no longer =o lonely as it had been. Hav- ing Natalle with her made Marth: ss lonely, and beside, John was stay a great deal. Martha wondered at this, wondered ith a thrill of her heart that was guely disturbing. Sometimes when they were in the living room after dinner, she caught John looking at her from over the top of the news- paper. Catching her eye, he would immediately become absorbed in the Wall Street reports, But Martha had seen and was curiously stirred by his attitude. Had John actually taken her remarks that afternoan seriously? Had she succeeded in pene. trating beneath his onuter veneer of cold reserve, and had he any real feeling in his heart for her? “1 think father {s falling in love with you all over again,” Natalie said to her mother one evening. And Martha. had flushed to the roots of her halr, to Natalie's teasing delight, Since Martha had confided in talic that Perry Macdonald was in love with another woman, Natalie's feeling of resentment toward him had lessened. She no longer hated him as she once had, and was sorry that she had been so nasty to him at the tea that afternoon. And then one afternoon she met him on Fifth ave- nue. She saw him first, and when he would have passed on without seeing her she walked up to him and held out her hand. (Copyright. 1026.) (Continued in tomorrow’s Star.)
