'WHY NOT CONSIDER RIGHTS
OF A WIFE?
er All a. Woman Marries a Man
-and Not His Family and Ought
'.`o Control Her Household
(By Wirinifred Black)
'No," said the arrogant man, "my
:mother is not going to live alone. I
don't care if she has money enough
for every comfort, she is going to
live with me as long as she lives. I
don't care what anyone says or does
and I won't change my mind—not
for a minute." The arrogant man pick-'
4ed up his hat and his stick (he's the
sort of man who would carry a walk-
ing stick), and strode out of the house
ewith his head in the air. The worst
of it is .he means it!
His wife doesn't like his mother and
;his mother doesn't like his wife.
Mother has a dominating way. She
has a nice, gentle manner and a sweet
-smile—when she is talking to some-
one outside the family. But when
with her family she is different. Her
tongue has an edge on it and, she •can
see more faults in a minute than any-
body else. She isn't cross, she's just
meddlesome. She wants to know her
daughter-in-law's friends and gossip
to them about—her son. Her son
is all to her and she teaches the child-
ren to think very little of their
mother,
The daughter-in-law is a fine we
man, quite capable of managing her
wn household. She is a : devoted
rife and good mother why should
he be compelled to keep someone in
ler house she does not like?
Now there is another mother who
is different. Her son hunted her up
a nice little apartment when he got
married. It has a kitchenette, bed-
room and bath and a nice sunny sitt-
ing room. There's a little blue and
white corner in the blue and white
kitchenette with a little blue and white
table with flowers on it, a set of blue
and white dishes and a blue and white
refrigerator in the corner. And you
ought to see mother! She is in her
glory. She can putter around; she
bakes pies and cakes and makes bis-
cuits, The other day she had a party
for three old friends and they ate
andlaughed and when &rimer was
over the friends, helped with the dish-
es and they sat in the bright room

DELICIOUS FUDGE
Fudge is a popular confection the
year round and lucky is the person
whose product is smooth and creamy.
•Thegreatest trouble . mast . cooks have
with fudge is in its sugary Cr:grainy
feeling. They try cooking the mixture
fast and they try cooking it slow and
sometimes vary the amounts of the
ingredients.
Howere, the only thing that will
make the results uniformly good is to
add one tablespoon of, white corn
syrup for each cup of sugar used.
This is so because the sugar changes
in cooking but if the quality of the
sugar is not just right it is almost
impossible to cook it so that the pro-
per change will take place. The syrup
is the sugar as it ought to beafter
cooking and by having a small a-
mount p
resent all chance is
done a-
way
way with.
An infallible recipe for delicious
fudge is this: Mix 2 cups of sugar, 4
rounding tablespoons cocoa, 2 table-
spoons syrup and I cup of,rich milk.
Cook slowly, without stirring, to the.
soft ball stage (230) degrees. Re-
move from fire and add 1 tablespoon
of butter. Place pan in cold water.
and beat until it can be lifted with a
spoon. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and
chopped nuts if desired: ' Pour over
marshmallows on greased platter.
HItITS FOR SUMMER BEAUTY
, (By Josephine Huddleston)
Of first importance in maintaining
summer comfort and summer beauty
is to drink lots of water. We are told.
that at least eight glasses of water
each day isnecessary to thoroughly
purge the system of impurities and to
give the system its necessary amount
of water. During the hot weather
even more than this should be taken.
One of nature's methods ..,f cooling
the body so that it does not become
overheated is letting the pores exclude
moisture which is called perspiration.
Drinking lots of water promotes pers-
piration and large quantities of water
keeps the perspiration colorless, which
is of instrinsic value to the dainty
woman. Limes, oranges and lemons
can be brought into use for ades,
thus making the water diet more pal-
atable as well as beneficial. Lemons
are splendid to keep the complexion
clear and lovely, so once again we
get the beauty benefitas well as the
health benefit.
Hands are apt to swell a little in
very hot weather and become red.
A partial remedy for this is to remem-
ber not to swing the arms when.
walking and not to let, 'thein hang
straight down at the sides any more
than can be helped. The tendency.
when they hang clown is for the blood
to go down to them. Theft again, do
not wash your hands in very hotwat-:
er if they are inclined to swell. Use
tepid water and rinse them in cold
water and pat them dry instead of
rubbing them,
TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
Travelling with children is always
more or less of a problem, There is
no place that training shows as it
does when children are travelling
eating at strange tables, sleeping in
unfamiliar beds and being disturbed
from their regular routine.
Packing for the trip is an art,,' for
each child must have its own needs
and it is best to have a separate suit-
case for each one. In travelling with
children the between meal basket is a
necessity.,' In the basket cookies, fruit
and sandwiches and a thermos of
plain cocoa and one of water will be
found handy: ' Such candies as needed
will be included and all buying oil
the train will be estetuded, For a long
trip with a baby it is nice to, have a
small spirit stove to heat the bottles
en route.

NAVAL SEA STORIES
SCO?4M3NDEB HARTFORD SPINS
FEW YARNS.
Anecdotes From "Conixiiaruler, 'R.N,"
Which Tell of Amusing incidents
Aboard British Warships --Officers
Are Not Always TactfuL
Medical aid hi the navy is often
rough and ready in the case of . a
small ship which has no doctor on
board. The captain of a ship once
sent for one of his men who claimed
some medical knowledge, and corn-
plained of feeling ill,
"I feel ill," he said. "Do you think
you can do ,anything for me?"
The man thought he could. "F rst
of all I wants a piece of chalk," ht
said,
"What'" said the captain.
"A piece of chalk," repeated the
man.
"Do you imagine I'm going to eat
a piece of chalk?" the captain said;
"because, if so, you can go and--"
"I don't want you to eat no piece
of chalk," said the man, soothingly.
"I just wants a piece of chalk."
When be had got the chalk he drew
a line horizontally across the cap-
tain's waistcoat about half -way down
and said, , "Now, sir, is this' trouble
you complains of above that ; line or
below it?"
"What do you want to know that
for?"
"Because if it's above the line it's
constitutional, and if it's below it's
stummick."
This is one of the many amusing
stories 'from "Commander,, R.N.," the
wonderfully entertaining reminis-
cences of Commander G. B. Hartford,
D.S.O., s
O. R.N. (retired).
Onedaythe
the admiral sent for
chief shipwright, who had been ham-
mering away at a job just over the
admiral's head. The latter's eyes
were bloodshot and angry, and, to
quote the shipwright, it was easy to
see he'd been ashore.
"'Oo are you?' 'e says. 'A
carpenter?''
`No, sir,' I says.
"'Well, 'oo are you, then?'
"'I'm a carpenter,' I says.
'Oh, you're a carpenter, are you?'
'e says. 'Well, you can go and tell
the commander from me that the
next time 'e wants to break up the
'appy name over my 'ead 'e can choose
a time when I'm ashore,' 'e says. 'And.
what's more,' 'e says, "e can select a
carpenter to do the job what's got a
civil tongue in 'is 'sad.'
"'Very good, sir,' I says, and goes
on deck.
"Well, sir, I delivers that message
word for word to the commander, and
you can believe me or not. as you
please, 'e stops my leave, for a week
for impertinence. Now, sir, where's
the justice in that?"
On one occasion the admiral and
his navigating commander rowed past
their ship in a.dingy in order to make
an inspection. They were in plain
clothes, and as they passed the ship
the admiral, wishing to know the
depth of water at that point, called
to an engineer -lieutenant who was
leaning over the side, "What water
are you in?" The engineer -lieutenant,
not recognizing the admiral, and
thinking his leg was being pulled.
answered "Salt, you fool!"
Two able seamen were brought be.
fore the commander for fighting.
When asked what they had to say,
the first replied, "I comes off to the
ship in the eleven o'clock leaf -boat
and searches the nettin's for me 'am-
mick. Not being able to find it, I
goes down to the mess -deck, and after
a long search I finds this man asleep
in. it. Shaking 'im gently to wake
'im, I says, 'Bill, you're in my 'am-
Mick. Would you kindly mind turn-
ing
urning out,, because I'm very tared and I
wants to turn in'."
"No, 'e never, sir!`" declared Bill.
"'E says, 'Out, yer beggar, or I'll
knock yer eye out!'"
Later on Commander Hartford
overheard this ' man complaining of
the incident to another seaman. He
said, "The captain called me a
fool, 'e did!"
"Well, you were a fool,
weren't yer?" said the seaman.
"Yes, but 'e , ain't got no right to
use language like that!" answered
the aggrieved one.
When a junior officer, the author
served in a ship with a commander
who was religiously inclined, a : keen
bridge player, and a bad loser withal.
Playing bridge one evening, his op-
ponents in one rubber were the first
lieutenant and the surgeon: The
former's luck was prodigious.. Every
hand he held was a beautiful nog
trumper, and the rubber was soon
over. When the remainine cards had
been thrown on the table to a grand
slam, 'the mortified commander rose
from his seat and said, "Heaven
gave you your luck—and a dashed
ugly face, too!"
The greatest day in the life of a
cadet is Prize -giving Day. It hap-
pened on one occasion that a French
warship was in port at the same
time, and according to custard. the
French officers were invited to attend
the ceremony. The Great Man (whose
name is withheld), was to Brown the
entertainment by making a speech to
the young cadets.
Starting with remote history he re-
lated instances oC heroism and
mighty deeds at sea, and, having en-
tirely forgotten the presence of the
Prench officers behind him, "around
