If | r is added, it will be detected | and lose its value. All that is required | is for the sugar to intensify the nat-| urally sweet flavor of the vegetable. I find that a teaspoonful of sugar to a quart of water is ample. Some persons use sugar in the water in which carrots, string beans. cabbage, | caulifiower and spinach are boiled. If you like a sweet flavor, follow this sug- | gestion. If in those vegetables in which a sweet flavor is not accented naturally | you wish to add sweetness, then add the small amount of sugar. But if you want other more characteristic flavors to pre- | dominate, then the sugar should be omitted. Carrots have a decided sugary taste, so just & trifle of sugar may well be added to the water in which carrots that are not the small, freshly pulled ones are bolled. In the matter of spin- | ach, cabbage, etc. in which zest is wanted rather than a saccharine flavor, the addition of sugar is less desirable. | Sugar and salt both are often used |in the water in which some vegetables | are boiled, such as carrots, asparagus, | tomatoes and string beans. Since both | sugar and salt are now recommended instead of the customary first one only | in the cooking of many vegetables, it| remains for the housewife to find out which method of cookery suits her | family best.

PEREEEEEE LR Nerw / /I{""l"AI’ DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Is It a Wise Girl Who Receives Attentions| From Six Men? ] DEAR MISS DIX—Do you think it is wise for a girl to have a number of | man friends and receive attention from them?> I know a girl who has six | young men who call her up and take her to places. She does not love any of | these, but says that they are good for a good time until the right man cnm!si along and that they will always be her friends. What do you think of a case like this? 8. Y. ‘ Answer: I think the girl has a head full of good, hard, horse sense and that she has put the relationship between herself and boys on the only founda- | { tion that is fair and just to both sides. Of course, every girl wants to have attentions from boys and every boy | wants to go around with a pretty and attractive girl, but not every girl and | boy are in love or want to marry every one of the opposite sex whose company | | they enjoy. Nor is every boy in a position to think about marrying. | | I think there is no custom more pernicious than that of boys and girls | | keeping what is called “steady company.” It works a great wrong on both | | boy and girl and is responsible for a large percentage of the unhappy marriages. | | Consider how. it works out, | A young boy and girl, because they have the natural urge for companion- | | ship of the opposite sex, begin to go together. They are not in love with each | other. They have no present desire to marry each other. In any case, it will be | years before they will be able to marry. But when they begin going together, | although they are not engaged, neither one has any more dates and they are automatically cut off from association with other boys and girls. is limits their knowledge of the other sex and narrows thelr choice, which is a fatal objection to the system. for before a man or a woman picks | out & wife or a husband, he or she should have known many men and women and be able to compare them with this selection. — | To marry the first man or woman you see is as poor judgment as it | would be to invest all of your money in the first automobile you sce, or buy the first dress shown you in a shop. Perhaps the first one is as good as any. And perhaps It isn't what you want at all and you will seé something you like better the next minute. But at any rate, if you have looked them all over you know you are getting the thing that fires your fancy and comes up to your ideal. Again, If a girl and boy have gone together for years, they are automatically ' forced into marrying each other even if they find out that they have no especial tenderness for each other or even that they are uncongenial. People have come | to expect them to marry and they have drifted out of touch with other young | people, and so they are practically driven into a union to which neither brings any enthusiasm and in which a disgruntled man and woman nag and fight through a miserable marriage. For the girl the keeping-company custom is still more disastrous, because she lets one boy monopolize her during the heydey of her youth and beauty, ! when her chances of marrying are best, yet she has no assurance that he will ever pop the question. Any day he can kiss and ride away and leave her lamenting. So, T think the girl is wise who keeps as many men on the string as she can until some chap comes along and pops the question and names the wedding day. She has a good time. She has many men to pick from, and when Mr. Right does appear she makes him a better and happler wife because he is her preference instead of her'necesslty. ‘That is fair to the young men, because it gives them feminine cem- panionship and still leaves them free and unhampered, DOROTHY DIX.

Everett's battalion of District Volunteers is re- ported today to be at Seneca Mills, Md., about 25 miles above Georgetown on | the Potomac River. According to re- ports received here at military head- quarters, the local volunteers are well and in high spirits. When the battalion left Washington it was provisioned for 10 da hat /¢ now been sent for 15 days more in the fleld. They are on the line of the Chesa- peake & Ohio Canal and constantly in sight of the Confederate pickets on the Virginia shore of the Potomac River directly opposite Seneca. Within the last two days they have had a brush | with & body of Confederate cavalry about 100 strong. Col. Everett’s men lay on their faces and blazed away at the Confederates| across the river whenever they showed themselves. They report having killed | the commander of the Confederate com- | pany, Capt. Shreves, and two privates. They claim to have seen these men fall from their horses, after which they were picked up and dragged off into the woods by their companions. Col. Stone, with the 9th New York | Regiment, is 'at Darnestown, four miles | above Seneca. His command was fired upon by the same company of Con- federate cavalry yesterday evening. Two of the enemy's musket balls were picked up and were found to be the long-range Minie balls. The Confederates are reported to have burned a bridge about two miles from Seneca which spans a branch of the | Potomac_River that would have to be | crossed by the Union troops if they, should advance to the Virginia side of the river. A.party of 30 or more Con- federates can be plainly seen through spyglasses throwing up an earthwork | on a high hill opposite Seneca Mills. | The woman who keeps the canal lock | at Cabin John Bridge says there is a | | Confederate flag opposite that point in | the woods on the Virginia shore and that “the woods are full of Confed- | erates.” 1 The Constitutional Guards, belonging to the District Volunteer Regiment and | attached to Col. Everett's battalion, | are reported today to be occupying the | heights on the Maryland side of the Potomac River at Great Falls. They are commanded by Capt, Degges.

H) ’ SUGGESTED. Benjamin Franklin no sooner was settled in_Philadelphia than he began The philosophy which guided him he later expressed in | one of Poor Richard’s famous sayings: “A man without a wife is but half a man " His search for a helpmate was not a sentimental excursion. He was practical-minded to give much thought to_romance. He had leased the upper part of his | printing office to a certain Mr. God frey. Mrs. Godfrey, becoming ac- quainted with him, learned of his de- sire to enter the married state, took the natural interest of all her sex and | tried to help him. In Pranklin's own words: “Mrs. Godfrey projected a match for me with a relation’s daughter and took opportunities of bringing us often to- gether, till a serious courtship on my part ensu'd, the girl being in herself deserving. The old folks encourag'd me by continual invitations to supper, and by leaving us together, till a length it was time to explain. Mrs. Godfrey manag'd our little treaty.” What was the rock upon which this calm courtship foundered? Well, when the “time fo explain” arrived Franklin frankly told Mrs. Godfrey that her young relative’s parents must provide, with their daughter, “as much money as would pay off his remaining debt for his printing house.” about 100 pounds. “But,” sald Mrs. Godfrey, “they have no such sum to spare.” Young Franklin had an ingenious | solution. “They might mortgage their house in the loan office.” he suggested. Mrs. Godfrey conveyed this proposi- f revealing lighe Your skin Can 00 | It was then | be flaw, ol lessly | tion to the interested parties A few | days later she brought word that “they | did not approve the match.” Pranklin did not know “whether thia was a real change of sentiment or only artifice, on a supposition of our being too far engaged in affection to retract and, therefore, that we should steal & marriage, which would leave them at liberty to give or withhold what they pleas’d.” However, he suspected #he latter to be the case. The upshot was that he informed Mrs. Godfrey that he “would have nothing more to dq with that family.” Franklin now went wife hunting his own, with the result that he court once more that Miss Deborah Read famous 1 history as the lady whe | witnessed tis first arrival in Philadels phia. {" He becgme engaged to Miss Read but, going to London on business, pros ceeded to forget her.
