By Mary Moore)

I un in the rather uncomfortable

position of being pinned down by one of our readers to giving a spec- lflr reply to al rather' ticklish qlies- llon; "Dear l\1'l‘s. Moore: Last. year I wrote to you asking what kind of ,ware you recommended for kitchen ltenstls and you told me thc ad- vantages and disadvantages of all of them and still left me to choose for myself. Now unless I ani delv gag into some secret of your kitchen I would like to know what kind of \`1tcllsilsyo\l use in your kitchen. I

pillcerciy hope you will forgive lne lf you do not fccl it would be wise bo publish this information. Tenac- tous.

Well "Ten5'ei0us"V and all other

readers I want you to remelnber this one warning: Just because I use lnore aluminum ware than anything blse, does not mean I am condemn- lng other wares by faint praise.

I have been reading faithfully all

llle r0Iltro\'f:l'sinl llrtlcles on the vir- hles Ot' allllnllluln\vul‘c \'r=l~>cs cast hon and enamelware. When it is all boiled down it seems that the worst [alt aluminum has is lt.: readiness lo discolor whell certain foods are cooked in it. Sc.cntist.-. have provcri that this mere discoloration is not harmful when these foods are eat- en.

While I was scouting about for

barred opinion.; on this subject of alumlnumwarc I encountered a. gentleman who know: metals in their raw state and ia employed by \ huge concern and receives a huge lalary for his knowledge of them. I-lc said in reply to my query “If you ever saw alumi.nu.m in its raw ptate you would not even touch an llurninum pot let ilcne eat food rocked in it." But since I have not leen raw aluminum I st.ll have my mppetite.

Un the other hand there il no

question about the value and adven- oages of cast iron ware, so I say kvhen the weight of the utensil does not matter, and where waterless booking in desirable use cast iron pare.

when beauty is to be considered

enamehvare is without doubt choic- bst. If ellalllclware is given good care, that is, not chipped or bump' bd, or bumed, it is unsurpassed. But it is very seldom that these con- ditions can be abide`d. Even the best bf it chips easily.

Half the time there are merely trumped-up charges, and in the other half it is not so often the big fault that a husband or wife finds it so impossible to forglveas the little hatefulness, the nagging, the fault-finding, the surllness, the stabbing of sarcastic speeches that have become unendurable.

She always saps the thing that soothes him when he is runled; that

bucks him up when he is discouraged; that restores his faith in himself and hangs the sun in his heaven, and that is why many a man adores a wife who is extravagant, a bad manager and who spends more time on her bridge than she does on her housekeeping.

And it also explains the curious phenomenon of why so many good

wives, wives who did their full duty by their husbands, but who felt cal!- ed upon to tell their husbands of their faults and who were about as

pleasant house companions as a fretful porcupine would be, are living on

Same way with women. When a man is faithful to his wife and a

good provider, he pats himself on the back and never doubt that the contemplation of these virtues will keep her perpetually on her knees thanking heaven for having sent him to her as an answer to her prayers for a good husband. Nor does he doubt that she will be perfectly happy and keep wildly, thrilling in love with him no matter how grouchy he is nor how he neglects her nor how penurious nor how high-tempered.

Plenty of the most miserable and disappointed wives in the world

are women married to men 'who have every virtue iuldcr the sun except the virtue of being livable. They are peevish allcj,,fau_lt-finding at home and nothing ever pleases them.

LEGAL PHRASEULOGY

The Recordership of Dublin, a.

moot important office, was once held by a very able but impetuous lawyer, the Right Hon. Frederick Falkiner, of whom the following anecdote is worth recalling. I-Iis Lordship was presiding at a trial when a counsel for the 'Treasury asked leave to recapitulaln his points but was told that the Court would not hear him. Notwithstand- ing this rebuff. he coolly proceeded as follows, “My first point is that your lordship has no jurisdiction tr make any order; my second is that any order you_mny make will be in excess of jurisdiction; and my third point is that any such order will be against all the evidence of the case." Here the Recorder jumped up 'in uncontrollable fury and shouted: “My answer to.your flrst point is Bah! My answer to your second point is Baht And my ans- wer to your third point is Baht" The Treasury counsel, quite undis- maycd, went on: “And my respect- ful reply to your lordship’s answers is also monosyllabic; it is the word Booi"

not ill-pleased, llc had come down from Scotland knowing that this proposal must be made, and he had got through with it much more easily than hc had expected. Indeed it seemed scarcely to have affected his fol'mcr relationship with Pat- ricia, to so distant a future had he relegated its collsulnmatioll, so pas- sionless had been the brotherly hug ,which he had given her when they had parted in the hall.

He told Jolm Gilmour that night:

“I'vc fixed it up with Pat, Father. Sir .Hugh is coming down to see you to-morrow after church." John Gil- mour looked up from the leading article of The Times. "I'm delight- ed to hear that, Geoffrey, Delighted. I llcnrtlly congratulate you, my boy. I only wisll that your dear mother were here.”

"Well, she knew," said Geoffrey,

looking sadly into the glowing heart of one of the substantial Hemshott fires.

Apart from aday at Dereham-on- Sea. when some madness had ap- parently selzcd hinl, there was nothing in his life that she kllew of and did not understand. His tastes were identical with hers, and so were his ideals and his limita- tions. He had been brought up to eat nt the same hours ns she, to take the same number of baths, to use the lame words, to shop in the same streets. He could be trusted not to wrlte poetry nor to cheat gt games.

It was, therefore, with is light

heart that across the aisle of Dip- ley Church next morning she watched the handsome profile of her lovcr set in what for years sho had described both to herself and him as Geoffrey's church face. In a pause after the first hymn, Geof- frey turned round and looked at her ,and they exchanged a glance no more ardent than had passed between them in Dipley church an the Christmas mornings of the last ten years. That was strange, thought Geoffrey, remembering how a glance from Fay‘s eyes could make c. thri‘l run down his spine and all the strength go out of his knees. But in Patricia's healthy thought- less life, no glance had ever thrill- ed her spine or made her knees feel weak: and for 'her part, she did not think it strange.

After the service, the Lysardes

and the Gllmours ioregathererl in the church yard,,and-, havin greet- ed their friends, set off for Hein- shoit. Geoffrey and Patricia went

ice. It was s. sunny day. The win- ter woods were hushed. and leafless, but the low notes of the brambling sounded fronl the coverts and the dead beech leaves made A cheerful russet carpet for the woods. To other lovers the scent might have suggested the kindly thresholds and the flrciit eves of a sweet domes-, ticity; but Geoffrey and Patricia talked in jolly tones about the ice. On the way to it, they talked of what it would be like; while they lingered beside the lake, they tested if-I on the way to Hemshott, they ltalked of what it was like. Had it not been for a weight on his mind, which he confidently supposed he was to carry on for the rest of his life. Geoffrey might have succeed- ed in forgetting the devastating truth that he was engaged to be married to the cheerful, matter-of- faet companion at his side.

When they reached I-Iemshott,

they found John Gilmour and Bir John Gilmour was standing with Hugh Lysarde in the momlng room. his back to the blazing nre, His feet were rather far part and firmly planted on the thick Turkey ear- pet. His thumbs were in the arm- holes of his waistcoat. 1-fe looked prosperous, pompous, and powerful. A complete contrast was Sir Hugh, ther armchair, with an expression who was lounging easily in A leg- of mingled boredom and dlppancy on his dark face. and caressing the head of Tinker, the Scottish terrier, who lay in an adoring attitude at his feet.

used the sonorous voice with which he was wont to address meetings of his board.

"Well, young people, we two old

fogies have been talking over your little affair."

Sir Hugh Lysardc snorted. He

was forty-two and felt. much younger. He hated to be classed with John Gilmour as an old fogie. For a moment he regretted that Long Petworth must pass to this man's solfs son.

"And," continued John Gilmour,

"we have decided . . . well, in short, we have decided to sanction an engagement. You are young, but still, you have had plenty of time to get to know each other. Your af- fection is well-grounded." He looked severely at Geoffrey. “This is no mad, headlong affair. At the some time we do not think it de- sirable to make a. public announce- ment just yet. The engagement must necessarily be a. long one. We are l¢l'¢Gd that we cannot begin to think of a wedding' '-he slmpered- "untll Geoffrey has come of age. Btlll, youth is a fault which mends every day. And we don‘t think it would do any harm to tell a few re- latives and friends-your Aunt Mil- llcent, Geoffrey and perhaps Aunt Katherine and Aunt Maud. I expect sir Hugh will also inform his fam- ily clrcle." ,

“Not my relations," said Sir

Hugh. recovering his temper. "Not the Mad Mortlakes, Barr! But a few friends. Charles. and Susan, and Jenifer, eh Pat?"

"'1'hat'| right, Daddy." ,

i .

“And when you're married, I shall

hand Long Petworth over to you, and make my return expedition to Thibet. Bo you'll have something to look forward to," said that amiable egoist.

"Very generous,” muttered John

Gilmour.

"Yes," said Geoffrey, uncomfort-

ably.

"Well, I think tbat'| all that IMG

be discussed now,” said John Gil- mour. "Perhaps Sir Hugh would like s whiskey-and-soda. nina the bell, Geoffrey. . ."

Geoffrey and Patricia went out

into the garden and made a tryst to skate that afternoon. "The fathers seemed reasonable, didn't they?" commented Patricia. "I think it's rather silly not to make a public announcement. If one tells one's aunts, one might as well tell the world.”

"Still, it pleases the fathers and

it doesn't hurt us," said Geoffrey. "We might as well humour them in small ways. What would you like for an engagement ring, Pat?"

"Well, diamonds go with any-

thing," stated Pat. 1 The winter landscape faded, and the frank voice at his side. He new the diamond lights of a. Lon- don dance hall and heard the plain- tive rhythm of a waltz. "It seems too lovely to be true," he heard Fay nigh, and he spread the treasures of Ophir at the feet of his beloved.

"I dcn‘t like diamonds, Pat,” he

said, wildly. "I oan‘t bear them. Have something else, if you conf'

about sapphires? When I dor\'t WGN brown, I generally wear blue. But how funny, Geoffrey! I never heart that you didn‘i: like diamonds bc- fore."

“I never thought about jewellery

before," murmured Geoffrey.
