Porte 69 PRINCESS STREET : 3 KINGSTON No Worry--No Trouble-- No Waste Whenpressed for time--when you must wait for your oven--when you cannot get the right temperature--these are the causes of your troubles on bake days when you use the wrong kind of baking powder. To have enjoyable results of a day's baking, to have no worry or wasted cakes and pastry despite adverse con- tions, you must first be careful about the baking powder you select. Use its k absolutely. Its double action makes it a eve ied horny notwithstanding having to wait on your oven.

"I can not resist the impulse, my { dear Katherine," the letter began, { "of writing to you on the eve of | my departure for France: | "I have been offered a consular {post in that country and for many | reasons, some of them perhaps { known to you, I have decided to take it, at least for a while. { + "I am going to try and fashion my jown life on a little different lines {than I have been living. Perhaps | when I return, my dear friend, I ay bring with me a French wife, | for 1 have come to the conclusion { that there is nothing 'in the world so | uselass and out of date as an unmar- {ried man of my age." { Surely, I thought as I read this, | the sight of Karl's friends who are | married has not given him an im- | pression of amy beatific condition | that man enjoys in marriage, And j then I eagerly scrutinized the letter | to find just why he had written me { that particular piece of news, i Period of Transition. | "If I were a woman, Katherine," | the letter continued, "I do not think | that T ever would marry, at least not | | until the status of wives had changed a little bit. Just now that status is | in a period of transition and from what I can see the women are getting | the worst of it. But it must be very {nice for a man to have a pretty, | clever woman that he can call his, whose very thought is for him, whose | every act takes him into considera- tion and whose whole duty lies in his wish, "And do you know, Katherine, | that most of the wives I have seen { among my friends have been women of this type. If a man is half way decent to a woman she will do her part. Most of them, poor things, are brave enough to try and make the best of their lives with no help from their husbands. "I haven't any illusions about my- self, my dear Katherine, but I do woman happier than most of my mar- serve happiness myself before I ask for it. "There are some things that a de- cent man may not say to a married Woman, whatever his inclination, "He can not tell her that he is sorry for her ; he can not tell her that' he thinks she is the bravest little woman in the world ; he can Told in Twilight (Continued from Page 3.)

Queer Old World. "I believe, Katherine, that many men feel this way in regard to many women, because I know that a man is not always attracted to a woman that might be his for the asking. It's a queer old world, my dear friend, and things get most awfully mixed up at times and that is the reason why I am going away. nd that is the reason why I am going to try and find some woman that I can care for enough, respect enough and rev- erence enough to wish to make her the mother of my children. "1 can not tell whether I shall write you again. I can not hope for the joy of a word from you---it is best that I drop out of your Hfe. "I don't for a moment think that what I do ,or say, or care would in- fluence you in any way, but I deo know that what you say, do or care, would have the greatest influence on my life. "Oh, I shall go on in the same old { way, but I want you to know just | what I am writing you. I think you | have known it long ago, but some {way I do not feel right to go away without making some declaration of my feelings toward you. Might Think Letter Wrong, "There are people who might think that this letter was very wrong--I have cared for John very much; we have been friends all through our boyhood, and I swear to you, Katherine, if ohn had been any- | thing more to you than the selfish, | masculine animal that he is, I would {not have written this letter, but a man can not see a woman in such despair as I saw you that night when I caught you back from death and { feel perfectly indifferent to her. { Someone, something is greatly to | blame for all this, and I hope that some day you may, at least, be happy again." This letter I tore into tiny bits and calling in the nurse, I asked her to put it into the waste basket. 'I was frightened at my feelings.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SILKS Remove Grease Spots by Holding Over Fire; French Chalk and Press. ing Recommended. A good way to get grease spots from silk, writes a correspondent, is to hold the spotted part over a. warm fire, not hot enough to burn the « k, but hot enough to melt the grease; put a plece of blotting paper over the spot and then put a warm firon.on the blotter. A goed method for cleaning black | silk is this: Mix strong coffee and ammonia. Brush the silk thoroughly | and then rub the liquid on with a soft | cloth. Wind around a board Jo dry. French chalk will remove some spots from silk. Rub the chalk thor oughly In the garment and let it stay there for a day or so. Then brush it out with a velvet brush. Cleanser --is great for clean- ing plain or painted wooden floors, oil- cloth or linoleum. It is more economical than anything else and does better work. Use Old Dutch for cleaning everything throughout the house. Water spots can sometimes be ree moved by pressing the silk on the wrong side, with a piece of thin mus lin: between the iron and the silk. If silk has lost its body and stiffness follow the method of a renovator: Boil an old, clean kid glove in water and sponge the silk with the somewhat sticky liquid resulting. Whenever silk is pressed a sheet of tissue paper or a plece of thin muslin should be spread over the silk to pre vent glazing. The silk should be placed with its right side towhrd the beard, ironed on the wrong side. a -------------- : If you are a martyr to style you get your punisiment as you go along.
