t WOMAN'S PAGE. Dishes for Use in Refrigerators BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘Whatever the size of the refriger- ator a housewife has, it seems always be necessary to conserve space in If the ice chest is small this is JELLY TUMBLERS WITH COV- ERS AND OBLONG CONTAINERS ARE AMONG THE EXCELLENT FOOD CONTAINERS FOR ICE CHESTS. And so the containers for putting away food have to be carefully considered as to size. An- other point of importance is whether the containers should .be opened or doubly true. BEDTIME STORIE A Funny Crab Town. The thing which funny seems to thee May be quite commonnlace to m ~-0ld Mother Nature. Danny Meadow Mouse went back to his home over on the edge of the salt marsh after spending the night ex- ploring with Jimmy Skunk. Jmmy returned to his home underneath the the bathhouse on the beach. It was only a short distance from the bath- house over to where Danny had made 2 mest in an old log just at the edge of the marsh. “Come again, Danny,” said Jimm: “and I'll show you some more thing AS IF IN ANSWER, OUT OF ONE OF THOSE HOLES HOPPED A LITTLE CRAB. “Thank you,” replied Danny,, “If you ask 6 me, everything is queer. around here.” It was with a little sigh of thank- fulness that he finally curled up in his own snug bed to sleep. Then he dreamed of crabs. He dreamed of crabs with great big pinching claws, and they were always reaching for him. He still couldn’t get over the idea that they were, spiders wearing shells—great, big armored spiders. It dldn’t seem to him that he ever would get used to them. : The next merning Danny once more went exploring out on the salt marsh. He couldn't,help but feel more com- fortable over there in the grass, even though it were not the kind of grass covered. Some viands require to be covered, either because they’ absorb flavors of other foods and so lose their distinction or because they have a: pungent or t::::de: an aroma that they impart avor. 1t is now possible to buy “refrigér. that is, nests of dishes that will fit space well and keep the food as it ghould be. Some of these nests are of glass, crockery or metals. Some are oblong in shape and are fitted with covers. And then there are endless odd dishes well adapted to the purpose. It is a mistake to put food away in dishes needed for the table. You cannot serve the food on them as they are, even though the identical food is wanted. The dishes have to be washed before using. This means putting the contents on other dishes at the same time, so no work is saved. Also the dish ~be wanted for some other viand, and this is inconvenient. When clearing away dishes after a meal it is so easy to put the food in the refrigerator on the dish in which it is. But it will be seen that it adds to work later on and so is by no means a labor- saving method. 4 Butter Containers, Etc. / Among the excellent dishes for re- frigerator use are those for butter; ob- long’' shaped, covered glass containers. They cost but a few cents, in the one- pound size, and not very much even in the two-pound size. Print butter fits perfectly in them, and tub but- ter can be cut in serving portions and be fitted in well. The glass cover keeps the butter from absorbing flavors of other foods. These con- tainers can be used for many other foods equally well. . With their flat tops, one container cans stand on an- other, thus conserving space admir- ably. A few of these dishes will sim- plify putting away foods, and prove conveniences. Tumblers and Jars. Besides the dishes that come on purpose for refrigerators those every housewife has can be put to excellent use. For example, old jelly tumblers, especially those with covers, will hold small portions of food that one hesi- tates to throw away even though the he was used to. By and by he came to the bank of a creek, which you know is a stream of water. It was a selt water creek. Danny didn’t know it, but it was really a branch of the mouth of the Big River, which came down from the Green Meadows, where he had lived all his life. But Danhy wasn’t thinking of things 6f this kind. You see, without any warn{npg he came to a place which was really a town. He didn’t know it. All he saw at first was a great number of holes in the mud of the bank and back from the bank a little way. Of course, he noticed those holes right away. _“I wonder ‘who made them and-if anybody lives in them,” said Danny himself. m“ if in answer, out of one of those holes popped a little crab, but the funniest crab Danny had yet seen. 1t had only one big pinching c and that was carried up and in fronl of it in the funniest way.. The other pinch- ing claw was small. This crab did miot see Danny when he first came but of his hole. Almost at once anothe: ane appeared from another hole. This gne did not have the big pinching claw, but the two pinching claws were small. In a minute crabs were popping out of the holes all around Danny. Some had the single big claw and some did not; and how they did quantity is trifing. These take up small space on shelves. Then there are pint and quart size preserve jars that fit finely on the shelves requir- ing small space. As the jars are high in proportion to their circumference, they hold a good deal. Other Dishes. Plates and round dishes are not adapted to refrigerator purposes. They occupy large surface spaces without supplying depth. Oval dishes and oblong glass, enamel or metal containers are preferable. BY THORNTON V. BURGESS scuttle about! Every once in a while there would be a fight. Something unseen by Danny frightened them, and the way they all scuttled for their holes was a sight to see. Each one scuttled for the nearest hole, whether it belonged to him or not. The result was that when the owner of the hole arrived and found somebody else in there he tried to pull the latter out. Like all the rest of the crabs Danny had seen, these ran sidewise. As soon as all was quiet out they all came once more. = Their eyes were on little stalks and those stalks were mpvable. They seemed to be very suspicious and they were forever rmoving their eyes about. It was funny erough. There was no one there to tell Danny what kind of crabs these were. They were Fiddler Crabs. A Fiddler Crab with the big claws is Mr. Fiddler. The one with the two pinching claws small is Mrs. Fiddler. Danny wasIn the middle of a Fiddler Crab town. Such a sight as it was when all the crabs were out! And it was an._even greater sight when he appeared in their midst and suddenly sent them scuttling to their holes. Danny was too much taken with watching the crabs to notice their holes. Had he noticed them, he would have discover- ed that many of them were arched over. The arches were built of mud by the crabs. y"Well," said Dunny“tlm his “:mni , “I don’t believe I'll ever :‘:;n oy crabs as those fellows with the singld big claws.” But in this Danny was mistaken.

There is nothing very beautiful about the osage orange, yet I like it. 1 like its spiny, straggling branches, its slender, shiny leaves and the golden color of its inner bark. like its strange fruits and the way it forms hedges around old George- -town gardens. In fhe Halloween season Wash- ington children go up to the old Naval Observatory site, where there is still a ::anfl ‘ull&us. orange, to et its curlous fruits. . Very strange, indeed are the “oranges"—twice the size ‘of any ordinary orange and very nubbly. Indeed, this fruit is really a com- pound fruit, composed of raany little truitlets that have united. This is a characteristic of all the mulberry family, to which the osage orange belongs. The same type of fruit is found in mulberry and breadfruit. But, alas! the osage orange is quite inedible; its only use is as a table decoration; it will last most of the Winter in a bowl. The children use them to pelt each other in mock battles. Although it acts so like a native, the osage orange comes from the other side of the Mississippi—from Misgouri, Arkansas and some other States. Early in the history of ex- ploration, it struck the attention of the French voyagers, who brought it back East, and it has come gradu- ally into cultivation. It grows as high as 60 feet in the Southwest, but here we use it only-as a hedge, which makes a dense, thorny, impenetrable wall of green. . s The captivating, subtile touch for evening use..

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are excellent and continue so until after dusk, when they assume an adverse character. It is the appointed time for putting into effect those plans or changes that you have contempleted for some time, as there is present the | sense of courage, optimism and emer- £Y. In your work at this time you will experience a force that will carry you on over difficulties and troubles; a restless energy that will enable you to do much and fear nothing. In the evening the signs are ominous, and it would be eminently advisable to relax and to seek some recreation that will distract your thoughts from the efforts of the day. s Children born tomorrow will not es- cape all the ailments of infancy, but they will be less subject to them than the average child. Great care must be exercised just prior to adolescenc with one or more serious filness ti as at that time they are threatened will exact much attention and cause alarm. Their cl ters be rather weak, and they will need a lot of “jacking-up,” in a spiritual way, in order to give them determination and resolution, They will not be over- studious or ambitious, will be indiffer- ent to externals and rather to fly in the face of convention, where their own wishes and desires are con- cerned. It tomorrow is your birthday, you position and love travel. rm bler in the general acceptance of the term, but are always willing to gam- ble with your life's chances. The signs denote that you are robust and vigorous and very fond of -athletic sports, in which you should excel. You are yery independent, quite in- tellectual and self-sufficient. You are never satisfied to be one of a crowd, but always alm té assume a leading role, and are never averse to shining in the limelight. 4 Morally and physically “you are courageous and prepared to fight at the drop of the hat for what you con- sider right. You never yleld a point without good cause. You are not much attracted by the ease and comfort of home life, al- though capable of an emotional love both enduring and sincere. You like, however, to dominate any and all situations, and can only be really happy if you control the one with whom you are mated. Well known persons born on’ that date are: Theron Baldwin, minsionary and educator; Stanley Matthews, ju- rist; Robert Barry Coffin, author; John R. Brooke, soldier; Blanche W. Howard von Teuffel, author; Chaun- cey Olcott, actor. & e (Copyright. 1926.) Too Much Strain BY FLORENCE DAVIES. What a lot of people there are who suffer from the strain of trying to live cheaply. About 90 per cent of us are oppressed by it, for the prices of things in this day seem always to keep just a jump ahead of the amount on hand. - There is the constant fight to get good for little money, well made clothes within' one’s income, good food at low prices. Most women flnutad o .iryi ‘l‘t 1 y::n on:'m r for A - h.im.n‘thll it can't be done. she says. ago our gardener was and had a cottage o:' ti live cheaply in those days.

Sometime it does seem as if that were the inevitable 1926 solution to the problem. > Only the start is a little difficult, for if the income is short, spending it freely: either means debt, which leads to confusion woyse confounded, or else the difficult business of pulling one’s self up by the boot-straps. But the woman who is tired of strain says that it can be done, “We will try the open hand,” she says, “and we will find that the hand will or idiotic, bu we will live easily and finely and without cruel pinching,. and then we will set to and earn enough to meet it, and we'll all help.’ At least that attitude of mind is not negative. N Business Girl Who Married and Can’t Adjust Herself to Domesticity—Why College Girls Do Not Marry as Soon as Others. | DIMR MISS DIX: I am married, but very unhappy. Before my marriage I was a business girl, earning a good salary and enjoying beaux and a carefree time. Also I had to take care of my parents, who are growing old. But people were always preaching marriage to me and it seemed romantic and so I got married. But everything looks different now, without my know-| ing exactly why. I feel tired and restless. Don’t know whether I love my husband or not. Don't know whether I want to be married or not, and my conscienoe pricks me for not being home with my parents while they are old. My attitude makes my husband unhappy, but he still says he loves me, and has been kind and patient with me, so I have not had the courage to leave him with a broken life. But I am wondering if I am injuring him more by causing him continua unbappiness. What is wrong and what shall I do? I have felt this way for more than a year, ever since I married. BEWILDERED. i ‘Answer—Your trouble is that nature made you a business woman instead of a domestic woman, and your restlessness and unhappiness are the result of your not being able to adjust yourself to your new tonditions of life. Nor is this state of mind peculiar to you. Most girls ,ho give up good jobs to marry 8o through more or less the same experience. ‘They find out that romance isn’t what it has been touted to be; that housework is harder than any office work, and that husbands are just as dif- ficult to get along with as bosses. They miss the interest. and -excitement of going down to business every day and working with other people, and, most of all, they miss their good pay envelope, with the financial independence it brought to them. - ‘There are some women who get out of business the training and discipline that makes them model wives, There are other women who are misfits in offices and so unhdppy in them that they never cease to be grateful to the men who marry them and put them in the homes where they belong. And there are other women whom business life totally unfits for domes- tic life. They get a taste for money-making, for handling big affairs, for the thrill and excitement of selling or planning big deals that makes it impos- sible for them to settle down to the dull monotony of domestic drudgery. One of these women expressed her point of view to me by saying that when she applied the executive ability and the actual financial genius that had made her the real of a big retail store to running her own little two-by-four flat she felt as if she were putting in a hundred horsepower en- gine to drive a flivver. And the head of a big department store sald not long ago that out of every five woman employes of his who got married one came back and asked for her old job within two years. He added that the better the job and the more successful the woman had been, the more sure she was to come back. However, in your case, it is a condition and not a theory that confronts you. You led a man who is good and kind &nd patient and you should not make him pay for your mistake. As I see it, the sporting thing for you to do is to make yourself satisfi in the sphere of life you chose. You can interest yourself in it if you will. You can make yourself cintented if you will. So quit your pining, quit pity- ing yourself. t busy, learning to be a model housekeeper and trying to make your husband happy, and you will be happy yourself. DOROTHY DIX. " DEMR MISS DIX: Why is it that college women do not marry as easily and as quickly as girls who do not go to college? Is it because men are afraid that their wives will be more intelligent than they are, or is it that college women are not willing to compromise on men that are not their equals mentally? HIGHBROW. Answer—I am afraid that men generally prefer feminine brains scrambled, and that it does not boom a girl's matrimonial stock for her to be known as a highbrow. . Most men want their wives to look up to them as oracles. Therefore, the idea of being wed to one of the intelligentsia who k more than they do does not appeal to them. The blue stocking has ever frightened men off from its wearers. But college women are getting so plentiful in these days, and are proving so harmless, that the prejudice against them is dying out. Possibly it is no longer true that college women-are regarded as less eligible than the beautiful but dumb. But if they are, doubtless the reason why they do not marry so easily as other women is that they spend the most sentimental years in school, and by the time they have acquired their degrees they are old enough to be choosy about. men. Also most coliege women fit themselves for some gainful occupation, and the woman who has a good job can afford to take her time and wait for Mr. Right 'to come along.

Of course, you will recognize the sea- sonable features of these materials and be governed accordingly in your buying. A Winter nightgown, for ex- ample, should be flannel, with a draw- string at the bottom, and the Summer nightie should be made of muslin or cambric, and open at the bottom for coolness and ventilation. Petticoats may be made of flannel or flannelette, cambric, nainsook, lawn or batiste. They come in stand- ard dengths, » Of course, they can be adju to any waistband. Baby's bib should be made of muslin, batiste or pique. Buy them wide and long. There are all kinds made, but make certain that the kind you buy can be y laundered.

She writes: , “What's.the matter with me? I'm as rcd looking as most girls e to be—have plenty of money for clothes—know how to dance and ride and do all sorts of things.. 5 “Yet I don't hold the boys very long. ! They get tired of me, drift away. Why? I havenit any terrible faults. Of course, I know I'm a terri. ble liar, but after all so are lots of girls today. “I'm not malicious. I don't drink or indulge freely in smoking and petting. I'm all right, but there's something wrong in Denmark—what is 1t?” ‘What can you do with a dame like that? She knows she's an awful lar, hut she can't figure out where her trouble lies. It doesn’t occur to her that her dis- honesty may be giving her a back seat with the boys. She thinks they don’t notice—don't catch on., Oh, yes they do. Some of them remember little things she said weeks ago, and they check up on her. Others find that half the boasts she makes are entirely without foundation. Others find her breaking dates and giving the wrong excuse. They catch on, thoSe boys, even if they're not as skillful in the art of deception as their girl friends. Yet, Judith merrily goes her way ly- ing with right good humor and fussing because nobody appreciates her. Let her correct the fault she herself has pointed out and things will be different. Judith isn't the only self-satisfied maiden in the world. Dozens of girls ;3! me they're all right. on to explain that they're only hu- man. One girl admits that she is awfully selfish and wrapped up in herself. Another confesses with no little pride that she has a dreadful temper. Another admits that she does treat her family very badly but still that shouldn’t keep her away from dances. The ttruth is that girls don’t really think the moral virtues are so im- portant. They figure that if they've passed in all the examinations as to beauty, dress and pep, they're entitled to a scholarship. Of course, I don’t pretend that ab- solute virtue ever made any one a riot. Or that the blackest heart in the world wasn’t sometimes to be found in the breast of the most popular girl in town. But very often that unimportant little fault of yours, which you tell of 80 light-heartedly and casually may be just what's holding you from the goal you aspire to. ‘When you're setting out to make yourself over so that ypu'll have a bet- ter time and enjoy greater popularity —don’t mneglect one flaw in your make-up. Particularly don't overlook moral faults on the ground that they won't ruin your complexion. Disposition is just as important as complexion in the long run and it's the run that counts even in the matter of popularity.

Bhe finds her rich friends are of the fair-weather variety, and becouse she has never been taught to do anything, is forced to take a posi- tion as lady’s maid with Mona Kings- ley. In the family are Richard and Barry, the son. Mona amuses herself by humiliating Leila before others. and Barry, because of her beauty, persecutes her in other ways. In es- caping from him one day she catches her foot in a rug and would have fallen if Richard had not caught her. She sprains her ankle and Richard, who is sorry for the girl and sure that Barry has been annoying her, goes to Mona about it. Mona laughs and refuses to take it seriously, but when Leila is about again accuses her of having encouraged Barry. One afternoon, to Leila’s amazement, Barry knocks on the door of her room. CHAPTER XX. A Peace Offering. “I wanted to bring you these as a peace offering,” Barry said, tendering Leila the square white box that he carried. “Also to ask you to forgive me if you can, and to tell you that you needn't be afrald of me any longer.” His tone sounded sincere, and vet Leila could not be sure. She felt that she knew Barry and she longed to refuse the flowers, but on the other hand, if he were sincere, it would be foolish to anger him. As she hesitated he spoke again. “You'll take them, won't you? They're just violets. Surely you won't refuse to accept an apology?” With a generous impulse Leila. held out her hand. “Thank you,” she said simply; “I do accept your apology.” ‘Then she stepped back into her room and closed the door. As she opened the box and took out the large bunch of fragrant purple violets a feeling of misgiving swept over her and she was sorry for the impulse that had made her accept them. Why hadn’t she merely ac- cepted the apology and refused the flowers? She hated the feeling of having taken anything from Barry, and besides she could not rid herself of the suspicion that he was not sincere in his motives. Why should he change his attitude so suddenly? It wasn't as if he possessed fine in- stincts that could make him sorry for what ‘he had done. She was almost certain now that he was playing some game to further his own ends. It was this feeling that made her throw out the flowers on the following day, although they were still fresh. She could not bear the thought of hav- ing a gift from Barry in her room. The fresh woodsy odor of the violets assailed her whenever she opened her door and reminded her of this man she had come to hate. In the days that followed it actually seemed as if he had meant what he had said and she began to be ashamed of herself for her suspicions. When she met him about the house he no longer stopped her and she was be- ginning to lose the fear that he would. One night as she was returning from her weekly evening at the business school she encountered Kuwa as she was crossing the hall on her way up to her room. With his usual blank expression he informed her that Mr. Kingsley would like to see her in the library. Leila’s eyebrows went up sharply and the smile. with which she had greeted the little Japanese vanished from her face. “Which Mr. Kingsley?” she asked, breathlessly. Leila’s quick fear that it might be Barry ‘vanished when Kuwa told her that it was Richard who wished to speak to her, and wondering what on earth he could want with her, she made her way to the library. She was wearing the simple gray suit and “Alluring—Every Hour in 24” To be always dainty—check offen- sive- perspiration body-odors, in a| : h elimina ol et simple, convenient, thorough way.

SR SR e 4 the little felt hat that she had worm on the day Mona had first interviewed her. The suit was not new, but the lines of it proclaimed the fact that it had come originally from an exclusive shop. The little English hat, too, looked expensive. As she entered the library and walked with easy assurance down the long room, Richard looked up sud- denly and with an exclamation rose to his feet.. He had seen Leila only once before in street clothes and at that time had barely glanced at her. Tonight he saw her not as a lady's maid in frilled cap and apron but as a woman in his own walk in life, and his rising to his feet was involuntary. Leila went pink to the tips of her ears, under the small rolled brim of her hat; her gray eyes were starry. At was the first time in many weeks that a man had paid her the compli- ment of rising when she entered the room. It made her feel like the old Leila, proud and subservient to no one.
