SUB ROSA BY MIML Sweeten to Suit Taste. The average cook book is all right when 1t comes to flour, eggs, butter and the like, but not so sure of its sugar. Often it tells us to “sweeten to suit the taste.” ‘There seems to be @ certain freedom of the sweets which we do not find with other ingredients: Life is like that; yes? There are certain things we have to e Making s 514 gucsilons, what ol estions, "o s mn"nd dflnk.q‘:'herzwuh we clothed.

We may have to go to business, but we do not oyt ess oot oy, out & Joy- et on 8 y, buf - e O wear some sort of stockings, unless we are very advanced, but the particular brand is a matter of choice . Now, we are judged by these non- essentials more e are by the ne- cessities of life. It's in what we do outside school and work hours that a person’s real nature comes out. We sweeten life to sult the taste and are judged by the amount of such sugar ihat we use. Our ancestors couldn't get sugar at 5 cents a pound, and they did not carry any nickels either, hence they had to get their sweets out of fruits and vegetables as best they could. But we live in an age of crystallized sugar and artificial pleasure. ‘We don’t look at landscapes or watch people pass along in the street. We go to & movie where the stars with their make-up stroll around in the land- scapes or pass along in the studio streets. We sweeten our view of life with spectacles of this sort. 1t's astonishing the amount of sugar | P we require or think we want. The re~ sult is that the amusement industry has become as big an affair as steel or oil. If our tastes should change over- night, it would be a sad morrow for the picture producers. They are supported, along with all their Hollywooders, b; the way we sweeten the spectacle of life according to a fantastic taste. I'm not roaring at the movies or an: other form of entertainment. No, I’ only calling your attention to the fact that luxuries are necessities because of the way we sweeten up life, If life’ pill, we are going to have it sugar- coated. But here comes the importance of woman in the present situation. Wom- an has simplified dress to a startling degree. I have only to say bob and skirt to make you see that. She’s dress- ing in a natural way, which isn't the case with man. ‘Why cannot woman live as simply as she dresses? It's all a matter of taste, but taste may be good or bad. It's up to woman, the world-famous cook, to determine how much sweetness and entertainment we really need in order to be happy. Sweet Potato Puffs, Mix two cupfuls of mashed sweet po- tatoes with one-fourth cupful of butter or other shortening, one egg, a pinch of salt and a pinch of cinnamon and half a cupful of sugar. Make into flat balls. Fry into hot fat until brown. Serve with meats. This is especially good with fresh pork. three tablespoonfuls of melted shorten- | ing, five tablespoonfuls of tomato cat- sup, one egg beaten light, and one small onion chopped or grated, one chopped chili pepper and one and one-half tea- lpoon(ufu of salt. Mix and shape into ® loaf. Bake in a pan, basting often with melted shortening to which a little salt has been added. Serve hot with brown or tomato sauce. Left-over loaf may be sliced, dipped in corn flour or meal and sauted in hot shortening. Other varieties of beans may be used in the same way and require less cook- ing at first.

Psychic Adventures of Great Men and Women Duchess d’Abrantes Sees Personalit Attempt at Suicide, But Before of Junot After e Was Dead BY J. P. GLASS. < ”NOTWITHBTANDI;‘G THE PRESENCE OF THE TWO WOMEN, AND THE LIGHTS, THE DUC.” Junot, general of the first Napoleon— not quite so well known to us as the d | Duc d’Abrantes—suffered in his head after he was wounded at the siege of ‘Toulon, and thereafter had a tendency toward unusual rashness, resuiting in actions that gained him the nickname of “the Tempe: There was nothing wrong with the head of his wife, however, at least in the sense that Junot was afflicted. She ‘was extravagant and she loved display, but she was & woman of great intellect. Her salon in Paris attracted all the celebrities of her day. When Napoleon's at empire fell she naturally lost her fortune. ~ Thereafter she devoted her- self to literature, and her writings were widely read. Of them all—books of fiction, me- moirs and critical and other articles— only her “Memoirs of Napoleon” con- tinue to command interest. But she was in her time a very important pe: sonage, able on occasion to defy even Napoleon himself. ‘We cannot sup) her to have been & woman in the least inclined to vaga- Hence her story of her adventure on the night of July 22-23, 1813, must be accepted as an honest, sincere ac- count of what she believed to have hap- ned to her. This even though, as some might believe, she was the victim of a hallucination. i Junot was at the time absent in Tiyria (a country east of the Adriatic Sea, formerly part of Austria-Hungary, since 1918 part of Jugoslavia). Na- poleon had made him governor of this Y | state, notwithstanding that in previous administrative positions he had shown himself untrustworthy. On the night of July 22-23 the duchess slept badly. There was no par- ticular reason for her discomfort—so far, at least, as she knew. In the end she was seized by a sensation which she later described as “entirely unknown to me and afflicting.” This sensation was so powerful that it dispelled her fitful slumber. Fully awake, she saw—or thought che saw— the form of Junot in her chamber. Attired in the same gray suit which he had worn on the day he parted from her to go to Illyria, he gazed at her with an expression both melancholy and sweet. The duchess was frightened and screamed plercingly. Blanche, her head chambermaid, came running. So did Mme. Thomieres, an inmate of the “What is the trouble?” they cried. " it 1s the trouble?” “Light my chamber!” the duchess commanded Blanche. “Give me all the ::’n you can, especially all the light you ‘The maid complied. But notwith. standing the presence of the two wos en and the lights, Mme. Junot con- tinued to see the apparition of the duc.

JUNOT CONTINUED TO SEE THE APPARITION OF that, although he walked, one of his|be legs was broken! ‘What could it all mean? It passed thmu‘g‘xnthe mind of the duchess that somet g dire had separated her hus- band's earthly existence from her own. Again she felt as though she were dying. For the apparition, remaining visible, first came near her and then retreated into some shadowy corner of the room, from which it seemed to beckon her to follow. Hours passed. With the approach of dawn the figure of the duc ceased to be visible to her. But she was left with a foreboding of tragic happenings. The explanation—at least to her mind—came some eight days later. On the night of July 22-23 the Duc d'Abrantes, discouraged because of re- peated financial reverses, and cast down by the fact that he had lost the favor of Napoleon, had thrown himself from a window. A leg had been broken and fatal inner injuries were inflicted upon him. In that hour of extreme soul stress, if his wife’s account is correct, he projected his personality to her. Strangely, although he lived seven days longer, he does not seem tgln to have appeared to the duchess. But, of course, during the period before his death he was for the most part un- eonsclous. Death came on July 29. To the cnd of her days, the duchess believed that she had been made acquainted with her husband's act by “intense revelation. ‘There had been present, she thought, “a direct relation between two souls, bound by 5o many tles that they formed one soul.” After the duc's death Napoleon for- bade the duchess to reside in Paris, She calmly ignored his orders and almost immediately gathered around her a group of celebrities. Perhaps the most curious coincidence of her experience was that in it she percelved that Junot's leg was broken. (Copyright, 1929.) . Pumpkin Pie.

About Oyr Business. “Every mar shall bear his own bur- den.”—Galatians, vi5. , ‘This is not meant to imply that one should never look to another to help him bear his burden. One may often find himself so heavily burdened as to Justify his seeking assistarce from another. But, as long as one has strength to carry his own load, he should be man enough to carry it, and not try to shift any part of it to other shoulders. The trouble with many is that they magnify their burders. They make heavier than they are. They begin to whine and call for help when there is really no occasion for 1. It might help such people to imagine their burdens as transferred to soms- body else. Make it a personal matter. You think your burder is too heavy for you? Just imagine that burden transferred to another. Would you think it too much for that other? Suppose that other, carrying your loaa, should go around complaining and mux- muring about the weight of it. would you have to say? Seeing your burder on another’s shoulders, does it not seem smaller—too small to groan under so mournfully? Said La Rochefoucauld: “We have all of us sufficient fortitude to bear the misfortune of other: ‘We talk to others about how bravery they ought to stand up under thewr trials, We tell others that they ought to be manly and strong and bear their burdens with a brave heart. It would a great gain, if we would learn tw view our own burdens as we view those of other people, and require of ourselves as much courage and fortitude as we commonly expect of others.
