How knowest thou this?” But she turned away her face upon the pillow and, a slight tremor coming over her limbs, she thus died, and I heard her voice no more. Yet, as she had foretold, her child, to which in dying she had given birth, which breathed not until the mother hreathed no more, her child, a daugh- ter, lived. And she grew sirangely in stature and intellect and was the per- fect resemblance of her who had de- parted. and I loved her with a love | nbore fervent than I had believed it | possible to feel for any denizen of earth. But, ere long the heaven of this pure affection became darkened, and gloom | and horror and grief swept over it in | clouds. I sald the child grew strangely in stature and intclligence. Strange, in- | deed, was her rapid increas: in bodily size. but terrible, oh, terrible, were the tu- * multuous thoughts which crowded upon me while watching the development of her mind. Could it be otherwise when I daily discovered in the child the adult powers of & woman? When the lessons of experience fell from the lips of infancy? When the wisdom or the passions of maturity I found hourly gleaming from fits full and specuiative eve? ‘When, T say, all this became evident | to may appelled senses, when I could no longer hide it from my soul, nor throw it off from those perceptions which trembled to receive it, is it to be ‘wondered at that suspicions of a nature fearful and exciting crept in upon my spirit, or that my thoughts fell back aghast upon the wild tales and thrill- ing theories of the entombed Morella? I snatched from the scrutiny of the world a being whom destiny compelled me to adore, and in the rigorous se- clusion of my home waiched with an agonizing anxiety over all which con- cerned the beloved. ! And as the years rolled away, and T gazed day after day upon her holy and mild and eloquent face, day after day qid I discover new points of resem- blance in the child of her mother, the | melancholy and the dead. And hourly grew darker these shadows of likeness, and more full, and more definite, and more perplexing, end more hideously terribly in their aspect. That her smile was like her mother’s T could bear, but then I shuddered at its too perfect identity; that her eyes | were like Morella’s I could endure, but| then they, too, often ldoked down into the depths' of my soul with Morella’s own intense and bewildering meaning.

It may be significant that smart women in the French resorts have recently taken up with the fash- fon for the beret and that it is worn even with street clothes in town. Of all possible shapes and sorts of hats designed by the milliners the beret adapts itself to longer hair the best. Another tendency that may be signifi- cant—and may not—is that the newest hats do not come quite so far down at the back and certainly do not hug the nape of the neck as closely as did their predecessors. ¢ Aud another fact that should be noted is that, while there are still new hats that droop decidedly over the ears, the ear laps are certainly not so closely adjusted as they were a season or less ago. The bicorne type of hat with brim arranged so as to produce the effact of two points—one over esch ear— seems at present to be galning favor.

BEUES RS Baked Onions and Rice. Pare six or eight onions under water and parboil them until tender, chang- ing the water once. Make a sauce by | melting two teaspoonfuls of butter or | other fat, adding two tablespoonfuls of | flour, one teaspoonful of salt, & pinch of pepper and one cupful of milk. Cook this mixture until it is smooth, let it cool, add three-fourths cupful of grated cheese, and bring the sauce slowly to the bolling point, stirring it constantly. Place in a baking dish alternate layers of cooked rice and the onions torn apart, pour on the cheese sauce, and bake for 20 minutes. Drop Cakes. Bift together one cupful of sugar, two cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-fourth tea- spoonful of salt. Add one-fourth cup- ful of melted shortening to one cupful of milk, and one egg and one teaspoon- ful of vanilla mixed together. Com- bine the dry and liguid mixtures and mix well. Bake in individual tins for 20 minutes. Cover with jelly meringue made with the white of one egg and half a cupful of currant or grape jelly.

When Peter went to get the dog he | had a long talk with his friend. “You | know, Pete, T have come to the cong | clusion that it is the tone of voice which | means something to a dog.

The dog looked at me £o pite- ously. Finally I punished him. When s over my fit of temper I said quite slowly and coolly, “Now take that glipper to the bedroom” and he did it. My wife said, “I believe that dog dis- obeyed the first time because he did not know what you sald.” We experi- mented and found that a command given slowly and distinctly was obeyed. Of course a dog learns that certain sounds mean certain things. You can't tell a dog brought up in a French home to lie down and expect him to do it. You have to use the French words meaning “lle down” because he asso- clates certain sounds with certein ac- tions, but after all, it's the tone of voice that conveys the most.” Peter sald, “I'll remember that.’ (Copsright, 1922.)

Is the American Wife Estravagant? - Finds Her Worth All She Costs DorothyDix She Has to Combine All the Virtues of Grand . Dame and Scullery Maid to Satisfy Her Husband. SAMUEL HOPKINS ADAMS, the famous novelist, 1s a bear on the American woman. As an investment he regards her as a total loss. He says that the American men spend more money on their women than the men of any other nation spend on theirs, and that they get less in return. He figures out that they con't even get a conservative 6 per cent on their money, and then he asserts that the Frenchman expects his wife to be a good cook and to make her own clothes, The Englishman expects his wife to run his home expertly and to hold her own in any circle in which she may be put. The German expects his wife to be a good housekeeper and a good mother. And they all get what they demand. But the American man expects nothing of his wife e: that she 'l_ll be extravagant. And she is. Wherefore, Mr. Adams concludes that the woman's stock is°too high in this country and should be brought down to its proper level. Of course, American women will rise en masse and dispute these allega- tlons. They will point out that the American man is noted as the world's shrewdest trader and the one that is hardest to put anything over on, hence it may be safely concluded that if he plunges on American Feminine Common it 1s bacluse he regards it as a gilt-edge investment returning an adequate dividend, Also, if he spends money lavishly on his woman it is because he derives the same pleasure and satisfaction out of having a wife who looks like a million dollars that he doss out of having an expensive car. A truck or a fiivver would serve every useful purposz and cost little for upkeep. So would a -purely domestic woman who js industrious and economical. . But he wouldn't get the glow of pride and satisfaction out of either that he does out of the ornate article that advertises his prosperity to the wor'ld.. FURTH’ERMORE. Mr. Adams is sadely mistaken if he thinks that the American man demands lcss of his woman than the man of any other nation does. On the contrary, he demands more, not less. He is the most generous man ln]thc wm;lddto his wife and the most exacting. He pays well, but he expects value received, To begin with, the American husband is the only man who expects his wife to be both a parlor ornament and a kitchen utenstl. The foreign husband is satisfled if his wife makes good on one particular qualification for which he married her. If he picked her out because she was a good cook and & penny-pincher, that is ail he asks of her. He doesn't expect her to ger(olm on the kitchen range with one hand and the plano with the other. ut the American husband expects his wife to be able to achleve this neat little feat in legerdemain as part of the regular day’s work. If a foreign man marries a woman who is elegant and brilliant and capable of presiding over a salon, that's that. All she is expected to do is to scintillate. But. the American man who marrics a clever woman not only expects her to be a star but to be a housefrau as well. Probably no English itical hostess ever cooked with her own hands the dinner at which she pres! with grace and distinction, but the wife of many an American politician has cleaned the house and polished the silver and set and decorated the table and prepared the food and led the conversation when she entertalned her husband's guests. In foreign countries men entertain and amuse women. ‘They make the talk. The American man lolls back in his chair like-a grand Turk and makes women do all the work of diverting him. Look about you at the theater, at restaurants, at parties, wherever men and women are gathered together. It is always the women who are being vivacious and sprightly, who are smirking and smiling and going through their tricks like a monkey on a stick trying to amuse men, It is always the women who are doing the talking and who feel humbly repald for their efforts if the men will only grunt now and then to show that they are still awake. It is always the women who are studying and reading up on topics in which men are interested so that they may be able to meet them on their own conversational ground, but no American woman is ever silly enough to expect any American man to talk to her about the things she is interested in. | e e s WHY. American men even expect the women to do the courting, and if they didn't there would be mighty few wedding bells. It is the girls who make the dates, who call up young men over the telephone, who call for young men in their cars, who write three letters to the young man’'s one, and who finally practicallv do the proposing. One of the reasons that American women fall so hard for foreign men is because it is such a novelty to have a man run after them instead of their having to track down the man they want, and such a luxury to have a man put some pep into the love-making instead of the girl's | having to do it all, that they can't resist him, The American man expects his wife to make his place in society. In foreign countries, where people stay more or less in that station in life in which it has pleased Heaven to call them, the man settles the family status, but in this country, where the poor man of today is often the millionaire of tomorrow, it is the wife who determines the family position in the great majority of cases. The husband is absorbed in his money-making. but he expects his wife to change with their changing fortunc: nd to make the social contacts that he has not the time nor inclination to make. He expects the grub he rried to flutter forth as a butterfly of society, and, curlously enough, the adaptable American woeman frequently does turn the trick and rolls down her sleeves as she comes out of the kitchen and whisks off her checked apron, and takes her place as a grand dame in high society. And that is something no other woman in the world can do. The American wife has her faults, but she is worth all that she costs her long ago the astute Mr. Morgan sald anybody would go broke And that goes doul;l;o’{g the American v v hort on this country, who went sho Y DIX. woman.

Per- haps this Summer it will be less than usual on account of the sun-tan fad, but my mail indicates that there are many readers of this column who would like to know how to mix up a simple cream or lotion for whitening the skin. ‘Too_much should not be expected from bleaching preparations, however. If they lighten the tone of the skin and remove the paler freckles that is all that should be asked of them. The darker freckles and moth patches are deposits of pigment in the lower layers of the skin and cannot be reached by an ordinary bleach. Stronger bleaches are likely to frritate the skin too much and their use may result in ugly scars where the skin peels off too deeply. Then, too, a naturally olive skin can never be made white with bleaches, Of the natural bleaching agents, such as strawberry, cucumber, tomato, butter- milk and lemon, the last two are per- haps the most effective and handiest to use. They may be obtained all the year round without difficulty. When buttermilk is not available the juice of a lemon may be mixed with a cupful of sweet milk to make a bleach. Every one is. familiar with lemon | bleaching ereams. They may be bought | ready made or prepared af home.
