WISE. AND
’ OTHERWISE
By MARY MAROHALI
LAVORI NG THAT COUNTS.
ID you ever try the experiment
of having a. large flower pot
or window be: containing
parsley, mint. peppergrass and
other greens that add flavor to
meats, soups and other 'dishes?
Such a miniature kitchen garden
need not be at all unattractive. You
may even grow these things in your
living~room ,or in a. sunshiny win;
dow in your dining-room. If the
tiny garden is planted in a neat
flower pot set in a jardinier or in
a tidy window box the herbs and
flavoring greens may be as attract-
ive to the eye as ivy. inch-plant or
other greens grown only for appear-
once.
The important thing in flavoring!
of this sort is to have them always
on hand. ‘In a small family a bunch
of parsley. such as you buy at the
green grocers', is for 'the most part
wasted. You need only a little. and
you-often do not think of getting
it until it is too late.
Many housewives make good use
of various sorts of pickled relishes
in flavoring meat dishes and soups
in winter. A tablespoon of tomato
relish adds flavor and piqusncy to
a salad dressing or soup. Pepper
or onion pickles may be added to
advantage to many “sorts of made
meat dishes. .
Have you ever made use of dried
pickling herbs such as can be
bought at almost any grocery store?
This consists of bits of every sort
of leaves, broken in small" pieces.
mingled with little bits of dried red
pepper, block pepper-corn and a
dozen or so other things that you
probably never saw growing. but
that add delicacy nnd piquuncy to
the pickling mixture. Now, this
pickling mixture is very useful in
flavoring stews and other meat.
dishes. A teaspoon of it should be
put into a piece or cheesecloth. tied
securely but allowing plenty of
room for the flavoring to move
about in the little bag. Simmer gals
with the slow. It is better to make
use or it this way than to put it
loose in the meat.
DO YOU LOSE THINGS?
OST business men would agree
M that in an office where valu-
able papers are habitually be-
coming lost or mislaid there is
something the matter with the office
system. of course the carelessness
of1fhce workers would come into
consideration. but it would be I. safe
surmise that if in Mr. A's' office
things almost never became mislaid
and in Mr. B’s things were forever
being mislnid. Mr. A's omce system
was better than Mr. B's. The best
solution to the problem of losing
things is to have it very easy to
keep things in order. And one of
the problems of efficiency experts
in business is to work out a system
of filing and storing that will make
it easier even for thoughtless work-
ers to put things where they belong
than where they do not.
The same thing applies to the
house as to the office. Some other-
wise efficient housewives spend a
great deal of time looking for
things. Just to make this personal.
ask yourself how often you have to
take time from the regu routine
of your work to look for age? If
you aggregated this time for a
month or a year wouldn‘t you find
that you spent an aliasing amount
of time ,,in thin“ perfectly needless

an often surprised to see the
I way girls over thirty let them-
selves go in the important
matters of dress. habits and looks.
_ Yet, if they liked. they could
prolong their youthful ‘sppearanco
well into the forties. merely with
the aid of s little care and atten-
tion to certain small but impor-
tant matters.
Let me tell youihow you can
keep that middle—aged look and
manner at bay for at least an-
other ten years.
The first thing I would say to
a woman of thirty ls—get enough
sleep. ‘ .
Don't sit up late at night with-
out making up arrears of sleep and
rest the next morning. Too little
sleep and too much dashing about
all day wears out a woman quick-
er perhaps than even chronic ill-
health.
Especially do the eyes reveal un-
necessary strain and fatigue. The
lids become permanently redden-
., ed. a little goose-fleshy and consid-
erably wrinkled
Countoract this by having eye-
baths, night and morning. particu—
larly before retiring, of bdracic
water—a toaspoonful to the pint of
.hot water. Use it when c019.
Also. when you take your nap
after lunch (most essential this
to the woman who wants to keep
that young look) soak a couple
of pads of cotton-wool in the_lo—
tion and let them rest on the as~
ed eyes during the period of your‘
relaxation.
Don't. however. make the mis-
take of taking your rest unless
you remove your shoes and un-
lace your corsets and other bands.
The best, and most effective way.
of course. is to slip off most clothes
and get into bed in the ordinary
manner. For the busy woman,
this. perhaps. is asking too much.
Pull the blinds down. open the
windows. and make it a rule if you
conveniently can, that_ you are
not to be disturbed. Don't think
too hard. Relax everywhere and
make the rest last at least half
an hour. _

The Blindl’ia‘nist
BY JOHN PALMER.
had hardly hoped for happi-
ness when she married John
Russell in pique at being liked by
Evan.
John was a newspaper man. and
making a handsome income. Evan
had been more or less reckless. but
they had loved each other dearly
when he went off to the war.
He had been wounded. and was to
be sent home. No indication as to
the nature of his wound was given.
And Evan had come home. but he
had not been to see Dora. Instead
there came a letter saying that be
was in love with another girl; ask-
ing to be released.
Of course Dora released him. and
she soothed her wounded pride by
marrying John a little later.
And John and Dora. were really
happy. and Dora felt that.hcr for-
mer love for Evan was only a
shadow of this. which was reality.
John was more of’less bohemian.
and Dora. who had been brought up
in a conventional home. enjoyed the
novelty of their uncertain life. She
liked the chafing dish in place of
the gas oven. So. when John sug-
gested that they should go down to
the Lower Town district and see a.
dance hall, Dora. accepted with slac-
rity. .
The Lower Town was an ,old part
of the city once the residence of the
big merchants. now given over to a
sort ofybohemian life. It was the
haunt of poets and writers, of paint-
ers and sculptors. and there were
many foreign restaurants and dance
halls in it. Dora had been to dinner
in such places. but she had never
seen them dancing.
“It's perfectly respectable.” John
explained to her. “And there are
"the queer-est characters there—peo—
ple you would hardly suppose in-
habited a. modern American city. .
"For instance. the old lady who
presides over the cloakroom at the
place I‘m going to take you to was
once a famous actress. Years ago
she set the town on fire. Now—
"wel1,.sbe's glad enough of her 815 a
week and the tips that a'ne handed
out to her. 1 . ‘
"How sadl"leaid Dora.
“Oh. no sadder than a good many
DORA was happy. though she
"there's a. sadder thing than that at
the place we're going to. as a matter
of fact. A blind pianist."
"Nobody knows. The poor chap‘s
very reticent. However. we don’t
want to dwell on these things. do
we? Let's make for the cats!"
They had a nice little dinner.
Somehow on that evening Dora was
thinking a great deal about Ivan.
She had answered his letter with a
few formal lines. She wilhed now
that she had been kinder.
Evan had Jilted her in an abom-
inable way. but after all they had
loved. he had been frank in telling
her of his own change of hurt, and
perhaps he had been wise.
Certainly Dora knew now that as
the wife of John she was much hep.
pier than she could ever have been
with Evan.
"What one you thinking of. deer?“
Dora started, and saw her husband
smiling at her.
She colored. She made some ex-
cuse. She had never told John about
Evan. Most women p things like
that in the back und. Though
there was no particular res-on why
she should not have told him.
They went out of the restaurant
to the dance hall. Don was pre-
pared for something terrible. a
"shbcking orgy" as she explained to
John long afterward. But it was. as
her husband had said. a perfectly
respectable place. and the stout.
motherly. white—haired woman at
the cloakroom smiled at her in the
most friendly way.
Far up a piano was thinning. and
there were couples whirling on the
door. They waited till the dance
was finished. Stenographen and
clerks, Dora simd up the dancers as
“Crime and see the blind pianistf“
said J'ohn.
Dora.‘ accompanied him up the
door of the dance room to where the
pianist sat with his angel! idle on
the keys.
It was Evan.
And suddenly she knew the traf-
edyofthemanblindedinthewar;
and horror and pity at the menace
left h‘er dumb. ,
"I want you to meet my wise. old
chap." said John. ‘
'Evan puto this hand. BntDors
'could not e it. Nor could she
speak. She moved away. "I'm
