Speechless Wooer Not Popular
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
RECOGNIZE VALUE OF SALT.
Oh, when he come again,
I In the old Klud way,
' I will untie and take hie hand,
What were there to say?
, I will droop my eye and smile,
For my soul would be
i Like the peace ot lummer noont
' ' Beside the tea.
! It would make the world laugh
were it to hear or read oil that I do
about courtships
good, fair and
Indifferent from
anxious women
who whisper their
heurt secrets to
me. I often won
der how It is that
some lovers are
able to win the
objects of their
hearts' desire,
they stumble
through courtship
so clumsily.
I And that not
one young woman
out of a hundred
really admires the
bold wooer. Love
muklng, above ev
erything elRe, should be done with the
greatest delicacy, adroitness and rev
erence. The young man who cans a
score or more of times without the
slightest kind of a hint to the girl who
Is spending her evenings entertaining
him that he Is Interested In her a
notch further than friendship should
not expect thut the flame of hope
which he has probably lighted In her
breast Is to burn continuously without
fuel.
! There Is another kind of man who
Is a puzzle to the cleverest of women
he who delights to have the dearie
of his choice all to himself after blurt
ing out a few words In which he has
popped the question, but never after
ward referring to the subject, content

to be In her presence, holding her
hands, but speaking never a word to
break the awkward silence.
The world would scarcely believe
that fully a third of all lovers carry
on their courtship In this manner,
Someone has somewhere said that
"lovers have no need of words," but
from oil I learn from letters, or hear
about, the speechless courtship Is not
popular with womankind. They want
to hear something about the wedding
day when they may expect It to roll
around, what the plans are for the
future, where they are to live, If his
folks are reconciled to the thought of
losing a son, even though they thereby
guln a daughter, and so on.
She silent, speechless lover, keeps
his sweethenrt contlnunlly wondering'
If he Is still as much In love with her
as he thought he was or If he can be
regretting their betrothal and Is tak
ing this means of causing her to weary
of the bonds and suggest severing
them, ready to Jump at the proposi
tion, or If anything hns transpired to
have changed his plans or prospects.
He Is an enigma, a riddle she would
give much to solve. Sitting by the
hour In utter silence, holding hands,
will In time get upon the nerves ot
tho most phlegmatic of women.
Such lovers are the kind who do
not think It amiss to carry on thlS
manner of so-called courtship year
In and year out until the girl's rela
tives or friends consider It high time
to cause him to speak out and tell
what he Intends to do.
Spirited women are more apt than
not to weary of such a companion.
It becomes a hard proposition to them
to wonder if It would be best to stand
that sort of companionship for life or
whether or not some other man might
prove more congenial. Speechless
lovers mean well, no doubt, but they
should not be surprised If a more
agreeable man cuts them out.
Scientists Now Are Practically Unani
mous In Their Appreciation of
the Humble Mineral.
The preservative, the cleansing and
the soothing effects of suit have been
known for ages. To this extent, nnd
with some recognition of existing prac
tices, the use of saline solutions in
British military hosplruls, noted In a
cable despatch, is not new, The In
teresting points are In the evolution
of salt to the position of a sole heal
ing agent, und In the method of ap
plication by n constant stream which,
In a single flowing, washes the wound,
guurds it from infection nnd con
tributes healing power.
An ancient nnd common household
article thus supplants, after the Initial
disinfecting, the highly scientific,
antiseptic appliances of the day.
This elaboration of an old remedy
reculls to mind the medical stir which
followed In 1901 the publication from
the University of Chicago, by Dr.
Jncriues Loot) and Frof, D. J. Llngle,
of the theory that a solution of com
mon salt In the blood, neutralized by
cnlclurii and possibly potassium suit
solutions, was the cause of the
rhythmic beating of the heart. All
doctors had known of saline Injec
tions to stimulate the heart. Those
who hesitated over the new proposi
tion admitted the physiological Im
portance of salt nnd Its ability, after
n hemorrhage, to supply the de
ficiency In circulation until new blood
is made.
Inlund people of old esteemed
saline springs as gifts of the gods,
Chips of salt were anciently used ns
money, and the mineral stood, ns
many passuges In tho Bible testify,
for high religious symbolisms. The
sharing of salt represented In other
days a sacred pledge of friendship
A precious nnd essential quantity In
our dally living, though hut casually
regarded on the grocer's bill for sup
plies, snlt may yet be revealed in a
more intimate relation to life Itself
than during scientists have guessed.

' Frequently when tho feet seem
cramped, tho blame Is placed on the
defective shoe size; but It will bo
found thut In nmny Instances the trou
ble lies In tho wealing of too small a
Stocking.
The marking of sizes varies quite a
little on both stockings and shoes. A
wife rule to follow Is to patronize one
shop when the latter 1ms beeu found
reliable und the size culled for Is neith
er too large nor too small, but Is com
fortable In every particular.
; It Is a mistake to wear footwear
that Is too large, although the criti
cism Is usually against the adoption
ot small sizes. So much of the good
appearance and tho comfort nnd huppl
nes of women depends on the nice euro
of the feet, thut too much attention
cannot be bestowed on the pedal extremities.
Mustard and Green.
I Mustard nnd green lire ono of the
ttiuurt combinations of the season. Like
all other strong contrasts, this one
must be carefully handled. The light
shade of mustard has much green In
It, just as tho right shade of green for
this combination bus a good deal of
yellow.
A Butterfly Negligee.
Among the simple, easily
washed, yet dressy negligees Is
one of white dotted voile, made
with n huge butterfly-wing ef
fect over the shoulders, forming
the sleeves. This is made of two
oblong pieces of the voile, one
laid over each shoulder, form
ing a V nt the throat nnd long
pointed ends buck nnd front. A
long, slender bow murks tho
Joining of the pieces at the
back, and a similar bow with
ends fastens the negligee In
front The deep points are fin
ished with dull blue silk tas
sels. When the arms are lifted,
the butterfly effect is very pro
nounced, and when the arms are
down the wings full In softly
folded lines.

Rice In Various Forms.
Itlce is such a wholesome food, es
pecially good for children, that It
should be served oftener and in greater
variety.
Peas and Rice.
Boll a cupful of rice and a pint of
green peas separately or they may be
equally good as left overs. Chop two
onions fine nnd fry In butter until light
brown. Add the cooked pens and rice,
season with snlt and pepper and serve
hot.
Boiled Rice Pudding.
Wash a handful of rice, add a cup
ful of stoned rulsins, cut in hulves, add
a little snlt, tie In a cloth, leaving room
for the rice to swell, and drop Into
boiling water to cook two hours.
Serve with hard sauce.
Savory Rice.
Fry a tnblcspoonful of chopped
onion In two tnlilespoonCuls of butter
until It Is light brown, add n cupful of
rice und cook until It Is slightly col
ored, then add a pint of chicken stock
und cook In a double boiler until tho
rice Is tender.
Rice With Fruit.
r.lco Is especially good with peaches,
penrs, or in fact any not too acid, fruit
A smull mold of plain cooked rice,
garnished with sliced fruit or ber
ries with cream and sugar makes a
most satisfying dessert
Meat and Rice Loaf.
Line a buttered baking dish with
rice, fill with seasoned chopped meat
nnd cover with rice, then cook by
steum or In the oven for 30 minutes,
nnmold nnd serve with any desired
sauce, such ns tomato or an onion sea

Wartime "rld."
"Kids!" Another word consecrated
by usage and recognized by lexico
graphers. The term embraces all the
lads and lassies, urchins, hobblede
hoys, chits and little ones, but some
how It means more than all these
writes Maurice Donnny In Cartoons
magazine.
In 1870 I, too, was a kid. How did
I look upon the war? What memories
do I retain of It? I was a 9 year old
and went to school at the Vunves
lyceum, which was then the "Lyeee

As It happened, Father Mlchaut held
his class In history on this historic

simply because we hud arrived at
Clmrles VII, he related to us the glo
rious adventure of Joan of Arc.
Among us was one pupil who re
mained listless. Questioned, he re
fused to answer, and our venerable
professor was hurt. I still remember
his reproachful tones.
"No, I shall not punish you," he
said. "One does not punish young
Frenchmen who are not Interested In
Joan of Arc. Itnther one pities
them."
We didn't understand very well why
Father Michnut hud suddenly be
come so gruve and reproachful, but
we felt thut there was a depth of
meaning In his words. This meaning
we realized better later on.

Organdies thut look as if they were
woven on the looms of the fairies have
occasionally appeared among the sheer
white gowns for midsummer. These
fabrics are as gauzy as the wings, of a
dragonfly aud about as crisp. But they
support fine embroidery und have been
made in edgings and ilounclngs of un
equaled daintiness. .
Evening and afternoon frocks have
been made of transparent organdies,
often In combination with voile or net.
They are to be worn over slips of taf
feta for the best effects. The finer
lingerie laces are used with them and,
for the handsomest frocks, princess,
renaissance and other handmade va
rieties are used. Organdie makes the
prettiest plaltlngs also aud many nnr-row-plulted
ruffles help out In tho em
bellishment of airy frocks.
It is difficult to reproduce such un
substuntlul and gauzy materials In a

Willie, a little country boy, 6 years
of age, was taken one Sunday night to
a large city church, where he saw for
the first time a vested choir. To his
mother's surprise and gratification,
he not only kept wide awake, but
seemed sreatly interested in every
part of the service. At the close he
turned to her and said, "I like this
church, it is so nice to watch the
preacher when he conies out with all
his wives in their nightgowns." Lon

hand embroidered.
The bodice Is simple, opening In a
V at the front and back of the neck. A
small collar, covered with plaltlngs,
makes a beuutlful finish. A drapery of
lace at each side forms caps over the
top of the sleeves, and the embroidered
puttern on the skirt Is repeated in
smaller size on the bodice and girdle.
The frock Is In one piece.
Porch Time Not Wasted.
A very simple and attractive tea
cloth is made of white linen, with a
series of Bquares to form the border.
These are done In blue outline and
cross stitch, and on each Bide Is the
command, "Make a kindly cup of tea."
Glass towels which are dainty
enough to make for the full bride or
your daughter's hope chest are em
broidered at the end with a design, In
blue pink to match the weave of the
towel, of tumblers placed In a row.
Other towels are given their place
by embroidered outline designs of

Here nre pictured two collurs aud
a collar with vestee, which are recent
additions to the already great array
of neckwear. The collars are made
of transparent organdie nnd the collar
and vestee of sheer organdie trimmed
with Venetian luce lusertlon. Collars
and vestees of this kind are liberally
used in finishing plain waists and
blouses In all sorts of materials to
give them the summery touch and the
becomlngness of white about tho fuce.
There Is little difference In the two
collars. Both are large enough to be
classed among smull capes and both
are made of plain, transparent organ
die. This material lends Itself per
fectly to narrow plaltlngs, nnd each
of these cape collurs Is covered with
rows of plnitings set close together.
In the cotlar nt the left they are
stitched to the foundation cape and
turned over, and it Is necessary to
press them down. In the other collar
the plaltlngs are hemstitched to the
plain cape.
The small vestee Is frilled on to
a short yoke at the front and slips
under the sides of the bodice, leaving
the collar free to fall over the shoul
ders and back. These manufactured
accessories are well made and accur
ately cut and are so Inexpensive thut
it is not worth while to attempt them
at home. They are particularly useful

Couch Arrangement
The following way of making up a
couch when used as a bed will prove
satisfactory, provided the couch Is of
that type which has sides that can
be let down like the swinging ends
or sides of a kitchen table. Make up
the bed in the morning the same as
ordinarily, but when the sheets and
blankets are In place Instead of tuck
ing them In at the sides, fold the
blanket and then the sheets smooth
ly from the sides toward the center,
Thus the bedclothes will occupy only
the top of the couch, leaving the sidca
free. Drop the sides, spread a covei
over the whole couch and a neat re
sult will appear. Have for the pillows
day covers like the couch cover,
which can be easily slipped off si
