Marian Millers ANSWERS THE house and the woman have seen better days. And those days were long ago. The woman is old and faded and wrinkled and bent with age and hard work. The house shows the wear and tear of time and lack of upkeep. But you don't see all this. You see only the gay flower garden, prim In Its arrangement and yet a veritable riot of color, one bright tiower succeeding another as the months go by and the woman v . 1 1 ; , ' V," 'i , : ' -- - - - r" ...; V - f , - VV : w 1 f f ("omens Cij? IS BEING ENTERTAINED BY SEASIDE. caring for It with great prlle and as the months go by and the woman always with a smile on her face. And the neignbors will tell you that the woman, although poor and alone, never Is too poor to help one poorer than herself; that no matter how tired she may be she never refuses to sit with a neighbor's sick child and comfort and care for it. She's just a good, old fashioned, whole-souled person of whom society never heard but she's doing her bit. She was trying to mend her door step the other day when a husky young man came up and said: "Madam, x am a missionary, calling on the people to talk with them about their souls. May I ask what religion you profess?" Justt then the woman next door ap peared and said, "she doesn't profess, but she sure does practice religion." I wonder how many of us are pro fessing a lot and not taking time to practice. Are we mak .ig the best of what we have and doing our. "bit"? Are we trying to reform others and not re forming ourselves? Get to work. When you have done something worth while, don't stop and talk about it eternally. Get bU3y and do something still bigger and better. Dear Marian Miller I have a friend who Is a soldier, and he asked me to write him a letter. I did, but he hasn't answered It. Shall I write another? Would he think I am in love with him If I write again? Please advise me. Tours, CELIA H. F. Maybe he is busy and hasn't much time for writing. If ' e Is in a train ing camp he gets little time or oppor tunity to write. Maybe your letter was a little silly. At any rate, write an other perfectly friendly letter, but not at all about yourself or how you long for him or think of him. Just tell him how all the folks In the neighborhood are and what boys are enlisting and k hat g-rls are married or going to work and how all the school or busi ness friends are, as the case may be. Make it full of news, frank and sensi ble, but not mushy. This advice may not apply to your case, but may help other girls. My Dear Marian Miller A friend of mine Is at the beach and 1 heard that her husband was seen in tt restaurant with another girl recently. Io you think it my duty to tell the wile what I heard? JES5IU R. No. I think It your duty to mind your own affairs and not repeat gossip. Maybe it was his sister or cousin, or maybe he went in and happened to sit at the table with an old schoolmate. No matter, however. Repeating gossip is dangerous business. And It s mali cious and unkind. It will make ever so many people unhappy. Don't regard gossip as a chain-letter affair that has to be passed on to nine or ten others. Drop it In the fire and forget it. A. woman buzzed out of a restau rant as I was passing along the street one day and said, "I Just saw Frank K. In there with a very attractive woman and he was extremely atlen tive to her and it's shameful, as his wife Is In San Francisco." Right then out of the entrance came Frank and the lively little woman with him. I introduced Mrs. Busybody to Frank and his mother. TrainingThe ' CHILD BY WILLIAM BYRON FORBUSH.PHJ. THERE was once at Harvard as pro fessor of Greek a native, Evange linus Apostolides Sophocles, a man right out of Homer. He kept some bantam hens, so his colleague. Profes sor Palmer, tells us. One day young Thornton's dog leaped Into the hen yard and caused a commotion there. Sophocles was promDt in defense. . He drew a pistol and fired, at which the dog promptly saw he had made a mis take. The next day Thornton's father was suddenly embarrassed at meeting the old gentleman on the sidewalk. Re membering his usually averted gaze, however, he hoped to pass unnoticed. But a lightning eye was upon him and a gruff voice signaled stoppage. "Mr. Thornton, you have a son." "Yes, Mr. Sophocles, a boy generally well-meaning, but sometimes thought less." "Your son has a dog." "A nervous dog, rather difficult to regulate." "The dog worried my chickens." "So I heard and was sorry enough to hear it." "I fired a pistol at him." "Very properly. A pity you didn't hit him." "The pistol was not loaded." Whom Do Children LlkeT Before Mr. Thornton could recover his wits for a suitable reply Dr. Soph ocles had drawn from his pocket one of his famous Sinaitic sweetmeats, had cut off a lump with his jack-knife, handed It to Mr. Thornton, and with the words. "This for the boy who owns the dog." was gone. Nobody else in Cambridge seemed to understand the old. curmudgeon, but on class day his room in the college yard was always full of curly heads. Why did children like this herjnit, who emerged daily, growling to his recitation room, heard lessons grudg ingly, marked his unknown pupils by a wild system of chance, and then retired at night to his bread and figs, to curl up in shirt and drawers and read the "Arabian Nights" and the Greek pray er book in the original? The wonder grows. The greatest Greek scholar this side of the Atlantic could not have had anything to say to his child friends. Is it possible that children do not like to be talked at? Are they content to hav a quiet lis tener? I myself once walked through a park for two hours with a school boy. As we parted he exclaimed en thusiastically: "What a good talk we have had today!" I had not uttered a word. Apparently Professor Sophocles never especially tried to "do good" to the children. It is conceivable that chil dren are not anxious that anybody should do them good? Do they some how realize when we find them en joyable? I know a silent old fisherman who lives on a shore alone. He always seems to have boys around him. He is a reticent man, not a story-teller. But the boys are In and out of his boats, and In and about his hut, and some times he lets one of them sit in the stern while he is out in the harbor. The young find plenty to tease them, plenty who wish to moralize them. They seem to like better those who quietly respect them. Restful, Quiet Frienda Liked. Children, of course, enjoy those who play with them and tell them stories. They often passionately admire their teachers, both in secular school and Sunday school. But what amazes me is that the measure of their devotion often is not the amount of pains we take to cultivate it. I met this week a young woman who has for over two years been- almost weekly recipient of ador- j lng letters from a girl who has not ueen ner pupii zor me wauio ui Luc period, and whom she had seen but twice during it. She does not know why she is thus admired. She is simple, self-reliant, friendly, and enjoys everybody. The brimming, restless girl finds her sturdiness rest ful and her charm inimitable. Probably children generally love us not for what we do, but for what we are. DaMEsnc Science By Lilian "Tingle. PORTLAND, Aus. 9. Kindly tell me how to make grape sherbet. 1 mean the kind in which no eggs are used. Xhanklng you, JEAN. T HOPE the following will suit you. JL It is delicious made with fresh drawn juice: Grape Sherbet One-half package granulated gelatine. Vz cup cold water. li cups boiling water, 1 cup sugar. 1 pint grape juice, 4 tablespoonfuls lemon juice, 1-3 cup orange juice. Soak gelatine in cold water five minutes. Make a syrup by boiling sugar and hot water 20 minutes, and add soaked gelatine. Cool slightly and add fruit Juices; then freeze. Serve in sherbet cups or in tall glasses. If served as a dessert a little whipped cream or (homemade) candied violets might be liked as a garnish. PORTLAND, Aug. 13. Please repeat. If possible, a recipe for green corn custard which you gave last year. I used it then, but seem to have lost the recipe. It was to serve in place of meat. Thanking you, MRS. L. F. & I hope the following Is what you mean. The custard may, of course, be baked in one large dish instead f In individual cups, but this takes a little i longer to cook. Corn Custard One cup corn pulp, cut fresh from ears of young corn, 4 eggs beaten until well mixed but not too foamy, 1 teaspoon salt. IVi cups hot milk, seasoning of paprika and onion Juice, if liked. Mix thoroughly and place in small buttered molds or fireproof custard cups. Steam or bake. For the former cover with paper caps and set in boiling water, closely covered, or In a steamer or In a perforated pie-plate over boiling water, and unmould when firm. For the latter, set the baking cups In hot water in the oven, bake until firm., and serve in the cups. Six yolks may be used in place of three of the eggs. This gives a richer custard and is con venient when whites are wanted for other purposes. Ths corn custards may be used as meat accompaniment when only a small quantity of meat is served; but they are really substantial enough, espe cially if served with a cream sauce and broiled tomatoes, to serve as the main dish for a hot weather supper or luncheon. Or they may be unmoulded when cold and served on lettuce with t'leed tomatoes and a little chopped green pepper and salad dressing. Another way is to put canned pimen toes or scalded green peppers into the buttered cups, filling them with the custard mixture and unmoulding when firm. For a substantial "main dish" the custard might be cooked in a ring mould or loaf pan' and served with a mild "Sparfish sauce" made with onions, green peppers, tomatoes and (if avail able) a few peas or cut-up string beans, with or without a little Spanish pepper. This makes an excellent "one-piece service," as no other vegetables are needed. It is usually popular with "men folk."

The teeth are among the most important fac tors in keeping the health of the body. Everything the body needs for the food goes in by way of the mouth; it is ground and chewed by the teeth and these, like any machine that works without a rest, day after day, need to be kept in perfect condition.
