"Stuff and nonaenae!” retorted
Mary, rlalng to the defenae of her ab-

"I didn't ace hltn. He wrote me.”
"What did he any?"

to the effect that a Mr. Carter wtahed

relax. A wave of lonellm-as crept
over her. Hhe had no real link with
the actual world uow, aav* through
Mary. Mnry, who must Boon leave
her for some man.
In the hack of her mind, when aha

that the fear waa not that Mary
would marry, or leave her, hut that

cause ahe had treated him unfairly,
and she had always been afraid of

Mary, who had seen hltn, did not seem
to have been physically repelled.
Polly would, of course, expire hy alow
torture tie fore ahe asked Mary what
he looked like.

Having gone slowly and carefully

Rhubarb Conserve Liked
a* Accompaniment to Meal
By a "conserve” Is usually meant a
fruit preserve containing such Ingr«*-
dlents as oranges and lemons, nuts,
raisins, and various other additions t j
the fruit from which the conserve
takes Its name. A conserve Is liked
as an accomptinlment to cold meat, or
as a luncheon sweet with bread and
butter, biscuits, cookies or plain cake.
Here Is an excellent conserve made
from rhubarb. The recipe Is furnished
by the United States Department of
Agriculture:
4 cups rhubarb cut t lemons. Julca

4 cupa augar.

Combine all th* Ingredients except
the nuts. Heat the mixture slowly
until the sugar Is dissolved; then boll
rapidly until It Is clear. The time of
cooking de|«ends on the tenderness of
the rhubarb but do not cook the con
serve too long and so lose the attrac
tive pink color and fresh flavor of
the rhubarb. Add the nuts, stir well,
and let the mixture cool before pour

Jelly glasses. If desired the nuts may
be omitted.
Ring Formation Left on
Fabric Can Be Removed
The rings left on the fabric around
the place from which a stain has been
removed are usually due to an accumu
lation of the sizing or dressing placed
on the cloth by the manufacturer. Thla
dissolves In the solvent used In clean
ing and "ran i" Into the outer edge of
the circle o f moist fabric. Often this
can l>e avoided by gently “ working"
the solvent Into the fabric with a piece
o f cheesecloth or a sponge, having a
blotter or cheesecloth pail underneath
to absorb the soiled solvent as It
passes through the fabric. In this way
the dressing may be scattered into the
surrounding fabric where It will not
show. A very bad case o f ring forma
tion can only be reme«lied hy dipping
the entire garment in a solvent such
as gasoline. This Is not a wise thing
to do In the home, however, as the
danger of fire not only from open
flames, but from electric discharges
between parts o f the garment Is very
great.
