Ys �k�icm b��t' �t ��' �. g484 item DISHWASHING MADE EASY- Didpou. ever stop to think of the' Y 'time the average housewife has to ped in washing dishes, three times is day, twenty-one times a week, over a thousand times. a year? A farm housewife with milk things to care ior, often averages two hours' a day n washing dishes if she should at- tempt to do a year's dishesat one time it would take her over sixty days, :even though she worked twelve hours tach day without stopping to rest. Howcan` these hours .of constantly repeated work be. shortened? A timely suggestion has usually been to get the equipment: which *hakes the work the easiest; A wheel tray, saves perhaps the most ptcps. First, it can be used in he table. -After the meal, all of the dishes may be stacked on it and be carried to the kitchen h one trip trietead of the usual five or six, Many ]types of inexpensive trays may be urchased, or very satisfactory ones ban bo made -by the home carpenter. If an old-fashioned washstand, with handles at each end, and a shelf underneath is among the .family pus - Sessions, it can easily be fitted with small wheels' or castors. The small drawer makes a splendid- place for 611verware. Where a wheeled tray is not available a fair-sized hand -tray can be used tovery good advantage. On fine china, dr where children are scraping; the dishes, a rubber dish scraper is invaluable. ; Every bit of. food may be removed from the plate with the fewest possible motions. For cleaning the cream pan it has no equal. Some women like best the plan df rinsing_ off the food particles under running water in the sink. Where this is done a fine sink strainer should be, used to prevent the food particles from getting into the drain. A small garbage pail or a pan with a good cover is most conv'anient tor tho waste, food. Plenty of water, both hot, and cold, is another necessity that helps greatly in making dishwashing easy. If this can be rsnning`watei• at the' sink it is most convenient. IS not, three or four trips to the stove must be made for hot water during the dish washing. The sink when pp e,1ui ed with -drain boards, makes the most practical place for washing dishes. A place for stack- ing dishes on one side, and for drain- ing them. on 'the other, increases the Valve of the sink, so many are equip- ped with two drain hgards,"If there is room for only one, the left-hand board is used most by the majority of wo- iron, ';If the dishes are stacked on a table, or better,bit the right-hand drain board, they may be gashed and placed at the left without awkward reaching across or changing hands: LOWERING SUGAR CONSUMP- TION. During canning time and fruit time my slogan is, "Take it with a Pinch of Salt," but literally, not figuratively; the salt saves sugar. When cooking fruit for canning or . to serve as sauce at meals for the day, I add a: pinch of salt, not enough to give a salty taste, however, and I always dost a little salt over the fruit in a pie before adding sugar, and over the fresh fruit I intend to serve at any, meal, Until one has tried, it it is hard to believe the difference it makes in the amount bf sugar required. In canning rhubarb or pieplant,-I wash stems well tut up without par- ing. pack into cans then turn cold, water slowly into cans letting it over- flow until no bubbles come to the sur- face, then seal. The neighbors used same process and we certainly enjoy. the pies during winter; drain off water and use as„fresh pieplant.

Her day dream engrossed her so entirely that she did not hear the door open and close. Chu Sing. stood silently watching his prisoner. Itis„faro' was drawn; and haggard, and his'. eyes bespoke a sleep- less night. A sudden change swept over him; however, as his gaze dwelt on the .girl before him: It: was like .a ray of :light darting across a black "Tu Ilee!” he.. cried, starting to- wards her, hands outstretched. Tu Free swung around, a frightened cry on her lips. For a minute she felt physical pain. It was ''as:if Hope had cut a jagged path through her heart as he fled. She shrank, back out of reach of the outstretched hands. Chu Sing dropped his arms and stood looking at her, while a bitter smile banished the gleam that 'had brightened his dark face. >' Tu- Hee, buoyed'up by her belief de- veloped. from a wish, had been taken entirely off guard. Herfacelooked pitifully white'and young under its make-up, and,Her blue eyes might have, been peeking into"the very depths of hell, so great Was the horror_mir- rored there. Perhaps it was a flash of pity that caused the- man' to turn his back and cross to the other side of the room. After a few minutes of silence, in which he had stddiously avoided a glance at the girl, he said casually: "I evidently startled' you, Tu 'Hee. When you are used to niy presence I Want to talk toyou."'As he spoke Chu Sing wheeled about and faced her. "I am sorry if L frightened you. My love sometimes blinds inc to the fact. that you have none for me.' Ashe spoke he crossed to within a few steps of where she stood, enveloped in her old- time poise and her eye's ,gleaming like blue pools of ice. "You, of course, , know" why I brought ,you here,'.'- continued Chu Sing, goaded 'by her rnanner,-"be- cause you are to be my wife, as I al- ways swore you, would b'a?" hands a clinche Tu Hee's hti d and her: lips formed the word "Never, but no sound came. All at -�pct the mart's tactics Chang- ed. g ed, He came a step nearer, and Itis voice was almost pleading: "Tu Hee, don't you 'see Irani mad over you? I didn't want to do this thing, but I was mad the, night I brought you here —mad when I saw the,; foreign devil standing in the road accepting your seniles as his right. Something snap- ped in my brain as I watched you, and when the gates closed I bribed the run- ners to bring you here. It wasn't a premeditated thing. It was forced on me by my- love for you," "Love!—you don't know what love is, Chu' Sing. You don't even know what friendship is or you couldn't have betrayed my uncle as you have." A lightning change swept over the man's face. It was like the .lash of grief. His eyes avoided Tu Hee's clear gaze and his hand went to Ms forehead, ' Seizing her vantage point, Tu Hee continued: "F believe, Chu Sing, there is a human spot in your soul. Tell mo I am not mistaken. Take me back to my. uncle. He will. be so overjoyed I shall persuade' him to even: forgive you, and these black days and nights will be buried out of sight in lasting forgetfulnes's." The man's hand dropped to his side. Tu Ilee started at the wild misery in the look he bent on her. Shaking his head, he said: "It is no use, Tu Hee, I've sworn for years you would be mine, but now that you are here within my power, the gods have made me powerless,"' Tu Hee sprang forward, Grasping his hands slid exclaimed: "You mean you will take me home? 0, Chu Sing, may the gods bless you for this! Let us lose no time then. Take me quickly to Uncle Weng. Toy!" It was almost a paternal look that Chu, Sing beat on the eager, pleading face before him. ' His harsh, domineer- ing mariner had'fallen from him,: and there was a ^melancholy note in his Voice as he replied: "Tu Hee,-1, can- not do• what you ask," "You cannot?" questioned Tu Hee, bewilderment in het voice. -"You say you : cannot take me to 1my - Uncle Wang?" Chu Sing shook his head, "No. Weng Toy, my friend, the best I had, is with the gods.". Tu Ilse looked at him uncompre- hending the tragic meaning of his words.' Then, as the awful truth sat- urated her mind, scream after scream, Meati -breaking and terrible, echoed through the room. Chu Sing tang a bell that stood on a nearby table. ."Fetch me a sleep- ing potion," he ordered, as Su opened the door. But many minutes elapsed before. the gpieting drug took effect on Tu IIee, This last blow was too much for the brain, already shbclted from its normal balance, and as Chu Sing lis- tened to is-tened'to the maniacal ravings and looked into the wild -blue eyes, he bowedhis head in bitter repentance. Ills.evil doings had indeed turned on his own heart and were rending it in shreds. don't interrupt mo, I believe you are sincere In saying you are sorry for giving in to your headlong impulse to bring me here five weeks ago; but,„» frankly, Chu Sing, no words could make me believe you, What has proved to meyour realrepentance is your treatment of me since I've' been your prisoner,", , "Prisoner? You are not my.prison- er, Tu Hee.: I gave you your freedom a month ago. I have considered you and treated you as an honored guest since the night delirium seized you." "Yes, what you say 10 true,';. Chu Sing.” Tu Hee's voice was :a little weary."You gave me' my freedom, but., I no longer cared for it. Where was I to go? When my „mind grew sane' again Uncle Wang had been bur - fed, and Icould -.not .bear the thought of going back where we had been sod happy together, But now I feel di- ferentiy about it. Perhaps because I am stronger. I want 'to go to my home, Chu Sing, justas soon as, you can take me there." A shadow crossed the man's face. "-It shall be as you say, Tu Hee. We can start to-day—at once—if you say so." - "Wait. Please sit down again. You brought me to your house here,` Chu Sing, 'which, as you know, is one of the rites of marriage. Chu Sing avoided the girl's eyes. "No-one need' ever know, Tu Hee." "But the rite has been fulfilled, I am according, -to my country's law one-sixth your wife. If you still wish me for your wife I am willing that the other rites shall be performed." With a cry Chu Sing sprang -to his feet. His dark face was,transflgured. ".You mean that, Tu Hee?: You mean you care that much for me?" The blue eyes met his, sadly. Tu Hee shook her head. "No, Chu Sing, don't mistake my meaning. My heart died with Uncle Weng. I warn you I may be a sad, melancholy partner for you. You had better not be hasty. Consider well There are many happy young Chinese maidens who would be only too glad to be the wife of: the prominent official, Chu' Sing." "I -care -for only one maiden. I shall live only. to reawaken your heart my little Tu Hee. I have loved you from the time I -held you on my knee and played with you." The man was bending low before Tu fIee's chair. Tu.Hee.triedto overcome.tha repug- nance e u - nance'that filled her as his breath touched her hand. Why did a pair of penetrating' grey eyes intrude at that moment and a soft, well modulated voice sound in her ear: "Do you mind my telling you that it is only when I am with you I stn happy?" But Chu Sing sensed nothing amiss. He drewhis all form to its full height, Ilis shoulders swung back like those of a -man who has received groat draughts of new, energizing life. His harsh features looked almost hand- some in the glow that suffused them. Tu Hao's misery partly evaporated in the surprise of it all. Wonder eeiz„ ed her that she should be the' cause of such a .transformation. Surely she was making no mistake in giving hap- piness to her uncle's life-long friend; for, in spite of differences, Tu Ilee knew an indissoluble tie had botind the two men. If the image of a'rnanly young foam in the khaki uniformof a British soldier obtruded itself, she shut it away with the curtain oil Ori- ental prejudice.'. ' Was she not a Chinese maiden? -Besides, had not iris action in going•, back to his own coun- try, without even a word or note of farewell, been sufficient proof that the foreigner had thought of her only as a passing diversion,' easily forgotten?
