Kindly give recipes for home-made marahmallows. Would like a gum arable recipe, as well as one for marsnmaiiows maae wnu genuine. 1 nuu your column very helpful. M. H. MARSHMALLOWS, No. 1. Three tablespoons granulated gelatine soaked until fully swollen in one-half cup cold water, and completely dissolved over hot water. -Syrup made by boiling 2 cups sugar in one-half cup cold water (or fruit Jucie) five minutes. Combine the two, flavor to taste and when the mixture is on the point of "setting." beat with a Ladd eggbeater until white and fluffy. Just soft enough to give a smooth surface' when poured into square oiled tins, to the depth of about an inch. When quite cool and firm, turn out on a paper covered with cornstarch, and dust all over with corn starch, or a mixture of cornstarch and confectioner's sugar, before cutting. Cut in even squares, and roll each in the starch mixture. Or roll in powdered macaroons for "toasted marsh mallows." Colors and flavors may be varied with the aid of different essences, fruit juices, or "vegetable colorings." Rose flavored marshmallows. tinged witn pink, are quite popular. , Marshmallows No. 2. Make as above. but add 1 unbeaten egg white to the mixture when on the point of setting. Beat all totrether and finish as above. Marshmallows No. 3. Dissolve three ounces pure gum arable in 1 cup hot water. Strain and add 1 1-3 cups powdered sugar. Boil ten minutes, stir ring all the time. Pour upon 1 stiff beaten egg white, blending thorough ly as for cake frosting. Flavor with vanilla, rose or orange flower water. Pour into square oiled pans and finish as above. In finishing, for a change, the squares may be rolled in crushed candied rose petals- Nuts may be added to any of the above mixtures, which mav also be used for cake fillings. either plain or combined with nuts, or chopped dried, or candied fruits of a mixture of fruit and nuts. A rather pleasing effect can be produced by spreading a layer of the mixture over the top of a cake which should be surrounded by a tightly pinned band of oiled paper to secure a tnicK top laver. and prevent the mixture drip ping down the sides, and then when the thick marshmallow icing is, firm and cold, covering the whole cake with a plain chocolate frosting, prefer ably a "cold" frosting made with con fectioner's sugar. Marshmallow cream dessert Is usual ly .popular made as follows. Soften one-half pound cut up marshmallows In a double boiler, being careful not to let them get too hot. Beat or stir so as to have them about the con sistency of whipped cream. Combine the cooled but not set mixture with 1 cups whipped cream, 1 cup blanched and shredded almonds and one-half cup cut up candied cherries or pineapple Add powdered sugar to taste, with a dash of fruit juice or wine if ap proved. Chill and serve in glasses in place of ice cream.

NOT many years ago a toothbrush was just a toothbrush, with a white bone handle Into which were set four or five rows of white bristles. It was used once a day then placed in a glass of water until used again. In fact the toothbrushes of the entire family .were often placed in the same glass of water. Makes you smile now, doesn't It? But in years gone by It made a great many cry with tooth ache. By means of the sociable, though unsanitary family toothbrush- holder tooth ailments were transferred from one member of a family to all the rest. People then used to brush across the front teeth to keep them white. Never mind the back teeth, they didn't count. But in time they learned that back teeth did count, that brushing across the teeth wasn't the best way, that a toothbrush was about the most personal of one's belongings and should not be let stray, to come back with all the tooth ills of the family secreted among its bristles. The manufacturers of brushes be gan then to experiment. The brush was invented with a handle curved most comfortably for use on the back teeth. Next came the one that didn't shed bristles, then sizes were graded from the brush for baby to grandpa, who today often has sound and healthy teeth. . . Now comes what we have needed but didn't realize the need of it. It Is a toothbrush cleaner. . These can be bought at the drug store at prices from a couple of cents up. They clean the brush after use. and thus leave it free from particles of food that might possibly be brushed back into the teeth again. If you cannot obtain this brush, there Is a substitute, though probably not so good. Buy the chenille cov ered wire sold at tobacco stores for pipe cleaners, and clean your tooth brush with it. But dally clean your toothbrush you must, if would keep step with fashions in hygiene : DIvoreedLife JfelenJfessanpfkessfe. (Copyright The Adams Newspaper Service.) Rceardlns the Barrier of Sex. ri SECOND time, Marian encoun t tered. Meadows, the rich young man, by accident on one of her morn ing strolls on Riverside Drive. On the third morning, she met him at their favorite bench by appointment. "Let's take a ride on a motor bus," he proposed on the latter morning, and together they hailed and clamored to the top deck on one of the passing vehicles. The noon-day sun flashed and shimmered on the surface of the Hudson. Marian's companion talked of the Riviera, of interesting adventures in odd Italian nooks, of a journey through Provence. As the bus ap proached a certain famous and ex clusive inn on upper Riverside, Mead ows proposed luncheon. Like a girl in a pleasant dream, Marian did as she was bidden, and presently they were seated at an open window at a quaint little table, amid superb surroundings. The host ordered a wine so light and exquisite that it passed Marian's lipu without protest. "How do you like it?" demanded Meadows, sweeping the place with hi eyes. "It's the most beautiful eating plact Fve ever been In," admitted Marian "But you shouldn't have done this," she added hesitantly. "You shouldn't have gone to all this trouble." "I was hoping you wouldn't say that," was the grave reply. "I understand, of course, that no woman ever trusts a man. From unpleasant experiences she knows better. Yet, there are exception to the general rule that the barrier ol sex doesn't jibe with trusting or being trusted." "I didn't mean that exactly," put in Marian. "But it applies almost universally," added Meadows. "Every woman fee.U a subconscious. Instinctive distrust of every man particularly every strangei. 1 don t say tnat men naven t earnea ine distrust. They have exploited and taken advantage of women for a good manv hundreds of years. It s too bad. But it's a fact, and will probably continun to be a fact until women throw off thn yoke of allowing themselves to bu patronized by men, which amounts to nothing else man pnnaninropic tyranny."" Marian pricked up her ears. She had never beard a man talk like this be fore. She had not given the blase young fellow credit for such a philo sophical outlook upon life as this. It was another facet of his interesting character. She liked and respected him for what he had said. "EnouEh." he laughed. "Ill be getting in over my depth if I'm not careful. As I was saying." he con tinued lightly, and sped merrily Into a blithe narration of a European ad venture he had left unfinished on the bus. Later, with abruptness which was characteristic of his changing moods, he said: "I'm going to ask you a question which I hope you won't con sider impertinent, I want a frank answer. How about it?" Marian gazed into the other s eyes and found them kind and grave. But she shrank from his words. What was coming? Instinctively she sprang to the defensive. "What is it?" she demanded in tones of challenge, ill-concealed. "Don't be so tragic," he smiled. "I want to Inquire about ytur finances. I don't want to borrow, I want to lend. If you're at all in need of funds, I want you to let me make you a little loan. It's a sordid subject. I know, and I hate to mention it. You're not angry?" "No, but you mustn't propose any thing like that. I couldn't let you, no matter how much I were in need of money," Marian made haste to reply. "Why not? I've got It to spare, and I didn't earn it either. The fact that mere chance puts money Into my pocket is no reason why It should stay there, You're quite as much entitled to it as I am. And I'd appreciate it mightily If you'd let me lend you some in the event you ever need it. It's a pure business transaction, and when your ship comes in, you may repay it."

I "that the husband of a noted English woman has obtained a divorce and married another woman." "That's not startling," sniffed the Old Maid. "It would have been more worth a headline if they had not got divorced." "But the first marriage was rather unusual," explained the Statistical Lady, "and I have been watching to see how It would turn out." "I suppose they were more than usually sure that they had the only real thing in the way of love," scoffed the Old Maid. "I wasn't so much interested In the love side of the marriage as in the age feature of It," further explained the Statistical Lady. "The wife was double the age of. the husband. In fact, she had a son older than the man she was marrying. "She might have known she was beaded for the divorce court," tartly observed the Old Maid, "She wasn't just the ordinary woman. She was very beautiful, very clever, a woman of distinguished social position. She was not old, no matter what the years of her age might be. I know of several other cases, one almost iden tical. This husband Is still madly in love with his wife." "Wait," cynically advised the Old Maid. "But I am not just sure it shouldn't work out all right," reflected the Sta tistical Lady. "Happiness in marriage isn't a matter of years, but of congen iality." "But congeniality Is often a matter Great Crowds Waiting Their Turn To Get to the Doors.
