anet 'Taylor--Wife By Virginia £6 HIS is Dr. McLean, Ken, Janet introduced, as Kenneth came toward them, emerging from the car. Her hasband's expression changed in- stantly. He had been smiling pleasantly. Now his mouth drooped abruptly. It was plainly evident that Kenneth was annoyed at this man's presence at this time. Ken nodded stiffly, then took Janfor in his arms and started toward the doorway. "You'll come in to dinner, won't you, Paul? Janet urged, as Paul McLean stood for a moment at the curb. "I think not, Janet." , "But you promised," Janet fin- Bisted. "We'd love to have you." Paul smiled whimsically. "Real ly." he began, "you're a dear. But i know it'd be embarrassing. In a way, I can't blame Kenneth. It seems like a 'premeditated plan , i, my meeting you this way when he was away. But I do want to see you again, Janet. May I telephone to-morrow 7" "You're the same old 'under- standing Paul," she smiled, Then she offered him her hand. "Any time to-morrow you wish," she agreed. "I'll be waiting to hear from you again" Quickly Janet came toward the front door that Kenneth had left open for her. Paul jumped back into the car and sped off with & strange contentment surging through his veins. Something séemed to .tell him he had tri. umphed in his affair with Janet. At the ghore a few months before, she had been distant, cool, not at all eager for even his company. Now he knew she was glad to see him. And although he realized it was the reaction of her disappoint- ing marriage, he was none the less at bis conquest. For con- quest indeed he knew it to be, with the warmth of her hand clasp aud the sparkle of her eyes ds she had bid him good evening. He thought of the scene at the little lodge when she had succumbed to his embrace and allowed her lithe young body to remain for a mo ment, Inert in his arms. The momory of those stolen kisses set his blood dancing. He put on more and more speed now, as if trying to down the overwhelming love force that was driving him into Mazwell madcap love affair with & ~ woman he could not claim. Meanwhile, Janet's heart was singing its sympathetic tune as she came gayly into the little apartment where her husband had preceded her. She turned a smil- ing face to him for her customary kiss. But Kenneth moved away and walked toward the front win- dow. Janet was frankly puzsled, "I asked Dr. McLean to dinner, dear," she began sweetly, "but he refused the invitation, He's in town fcr a day or two and stopped around to take Junior and me for a little spin." Kenneth was silent. His eyes were fixed on the straggling home comers on the street below. Janet began to set the dinner table. "That 80?" he remarked snarl ingly, after a while, when he found his wife was offering no further explanation. "Well, there's on thing I'm going to demand, Netty. And that is that you never see that sneak again" \ "Ken . Paul's no sneak!" . __ "So that's how far it's gone, eh," Ken sald, with passion, "so far that you call each other by your: first names. No . . ." he went on bicterly, "I'm mistaken. He's not a sneak. That term is too worthy for him. He's a cur, a base cur." "What do you mean, Ken? In .heaven's name what are you get. ting at?" "Don't pull the innocent stuff with me, Netty," Ken raged on, "it don't go. I'm warning you in time that I forbid you to see or hear from that cur again. An insidious home- wrecker, with the manner of a gentleman. Oh. , . * he raised his hand to check her denial, "I know 'em. They're slow workers. But they get in their deadly work on women just like you. That's why I'm not blaming you. Women are all fools when it comes to flattery. It's the man I blame. They know this vain spot among you. And they play it with a cer tainty of success." "Ken!" Janet cries, hurt to thé quick. "Don't talk that way. 1 shan't listen to that sort of talk « «+ from you" "So you've fallen for his soft chatter already, eh," Ken tried to laugh scornfully, "well, youll get over that, little girl. From to-night on, we'll see to it that you don't see each other again."

"As bables pay more attention to hearing things than to seeing, I wished to give her a first impres- slon 'of the alphabet through sound. "Do not imagine that the baby paid any great attention to my first attempts to teach her the al phabet, but hearing the letters sung day after day made an impression upon her ear, while the bright colors attracted her eye and almost unconsciously she thus learned to know the English alphabet. "After singing the letter I would point to the big red 'A' on the wall and then show her 'A* on one of her blocks, telling her that I had two Misters 'A' From a box of anagrams ( would take all the 'A' latters and place them beside the olock 'A.'

What is food for one person may be harm- ful to another. So that for choos- ing the dishes one would eat, early training, location and the like must be taken into consideration. In some parts of our country food is mot palatable unless it is highly seasoned with peppers. But folks who have grown accustomed to this fare are healthy and vigor ous. A stranger from another part might find it difficult to ad- just her taste to this fare, but Nature has a miraculous way of making adjustments. It is to the traveling women who must adjust their tastes constantly, I am go- ing to speak this week, and to those women who do not change their diet sufficiently. Two rules that seem' simple enough yet are abused by so many are the foundations of good health from correct eating. The first is never to eat unless hungry. The facond rule is never to eat a mor sel more than the stomach de- mands. By following these two rules, we are following the dic- tates of Nature, and her com- mands are, after all, only what science is trying to fulfill A few simple dishes for a meal are far better than a host of vari ous foods. fonally, when the banquet is attended, the variety of food lends zest to the ordinary menu of everyday living. But rich foods .and the endless variety thet form strange chemical combi nations in the stomach should be avoided. No doubt the reason why the peasant girls of Europe have such beautiful complexions, as a rule, is because of their simple at. Abroad, and particularly in the peasant districts, the facilities for carrying the rich pastries from town are not available. And hap- pily enough, the peasant girl is forced to maintain her simple diet that gives her skin such a translu- Cent texture and warm coloring. In America the foods of the earth are brought to our doors whether wo live in a tiny lodge far out in the country of right in the heart of a city. It is left entirely to our own disgrimination which we shall choose for our diet. Variety, however, is absolutely, essential to good diet. By it I do Dot mean the endless tid-bits of food served at one meal: But rather a complete, change of menu daily. The main meat course of the meal should be alternated from day to day. And nothing adds such an appetizing touch as a well chosen variety of vegetables, sim- Ply prepared. The traveling woman has the ad vantage of obtaining fresh foods that find place in the local mar kets. Fresh fish in the East and on the Pacific Coast is a food not to be overlooked. In place of meat, at least once or twice a week, fish lightens the diet so that the system is not overtaxed with proteld foods. Salads, in al] their crispness, are excellent for . their possible. Only for a few short months in mid-Winter is the salad unavailable fn certain parts of the country. But where it grows crisp aud fresh all year round it should find its very important place on the dinner menu. Stewed fruits are sufficiently Sweet to make a good bstitute for the rich creamed pastries that have entered the American dlet so extensively during the last few years. The Winter months are best to Indulge the taste for these rich desserts, but the lighter des. serts that help the system cleanse - itself should be alternated. Some food scientists claim that the diet of the actress is most per- fect as to time division. Because the actress has a light breakfast and a nourishing Inuch at least two hours before her matinee performs ance it becomes unnecessary toy the heavy dinner at 7 o'clock, as 1s the usual rule among non-profes- sional people. Thé heavy dinner at night iy dispensed with in the diet of most stage people, and a light repast taken until the evening performance. Three light meals a fay and one good, nour luncheon seems to be thé plan which modern dietitians are show. ing approval. : The lobster concoctions that are associated with midnight suppes among stage people are mostly fiction. No stage star can afford to run the risk of impairing her health and good looks by that sort of midnight menu. Hotel Etiquette OMEN today travel about the country alone much more frequently than a generation ago. There was & time when a woman needed to know little of hotel etiquette, as she traveled mostly with her family. and was not on her own resources. But now that the customs have changed, there has come into%eing 8 decided code of etiquette which every well bred woman adheres to When stopping at a strange hotel. On entering the hotel for the first time, the woman should at once make her way to the desk and register, then follow the page ag signed to her, to her room. It is not'good form for a woman to loiter in the lobby before going to her room after she has registered. . When a woman registers, the prefix "Miss" or "Mrs." must be used. The matron should sign her- self with her husband's name and the unmarried woman with her given name. Contractions of names should never be used in signing the register, as "Flossie " ogls ossie Smith" fin When a family is traveling where there are several daughters, the daughters each sign the register with their given names. -- When a girl is the only daughter with her parent does she sign her self 'Miss Smith," without her given name. "Mrs. John Smith and daughter," or "Mr. Johny Smith and wife" is considered social authori! hE _ nevertheless. quette, ig best solved by custon, It is the established custom for a lady to wear her hat 'to the dining room even though she be a perma nent guest at the hotel. In the dining rooms of the best hotels in large cities, Jadles do mot appear hotless. Even though by courtesy of being a permanent guest a spe. cial table is reserved for the lady each evening, 'the hat fs worn A woman should never stop at a hotel without some baggage. Even thovgh she Intends "to stay only overnight, she should Carry a small handbag with her. When a gentleman calls upon a lady at her hotel, he gives his name to the desk clérk. It is not neces- sary to offer a card. The clerk calls the lady guest to the tele. Phone or dirécts the gentleman to 8 telephone in the lobby.
