The elder woman was smiling and happy. apparently full of Jov because she was with her son. The other woman. whom I imagined to be the wife of the young man. looked bored to death.

What a pity it Is there are any unhappy women in the world. If I had my way I would wipe out all the unnecessary sorrow which comes to them. In the nature of things women have more to bear than men.

Perhaps the unusually good looking person who has captivated you worries all the time for fear of losing the beauty which is so conspicuous. is bound to change all of us and mere physical beauty fades. Real beauty comes from within, so control your mind. The popular person has to spend much time, maintaining his or her popularity, and that means study. Thj man of large income is worrying over chances he must take which may, result in completely wiping out the fortune he has been years in accumulating- The person who can do things well must always do them well or it is doubly noticeable, and considered little less than disgrace if there is a lapse.

There are canned products that may be used as a basis for several good dishes, and for those who have kitchenettes, small downstairs kitchens, or who use an electric gril. Canned lobsters and other canned fish, at one time looked upon with suspicion, are now beyond all doubt reliable products when the best known brands are used.

Sauces figure largely in cookery of this class and the wise woman practices until she is expert in their concoction. Even if the dish is made up of ordinary food, the sauce gives it a flavor of distinction. Little fancy garnishes also show up to advantage with this sort of cookery and should always be edible.

Her f'rst literary distinction of momeni was having a story included in the an-nnal publication of "Best Stories" compiled by Edwar-1 O'Brien, who assumes, not without authority, to be a judge of contemporaneous fiction. Other St.

Louis writers have been mentioned and their works rated variously in this Honor Roll but Mrs. Boogher's was the first whose entire story he chose to include in one of his volumes. This was last year and the tale entitled "The Unknown Warrior," a brief little fantasy, appeared first in the Junior League Bulletin. Mrs. Boogher was president of the St.

ifargaretta Scott Lawler is a young writer of whom we are obliged to speak rather in terms of po-tentlalties than accomplishment. Her literary career has been interrupted by marriage and the advent of two babies. But she began auspiciously by having poems Published in such critical magazines as Poetry and Touchstone and reprinted in other critical periodicals. Several of her playlets have seen the light in the Drama Magazine. One, "Three Kisses" won the Art League annual prize and several children's plays have been published and produced.

Today, though much preoccupied with her young family, she is devoting a daily schedule to writing and has completed a novel which has been retained for further reading by one of the most desirable publishing houses with an encouraging letter to the author. Mrs. Burba nk Author of Successful Oomedy. A pleasing discovery was that Mrs. Louise Thayer Burbank is the author of a comedy entitled "Three "creams" which has played threes entire seasons on the Orpheum Eastern circuit.

Discovery, because I believe the news has not before been tublished in a St. Louis paper. Mrs. Bnrbank has not associated herself with any of the local literary coteries, has been absolutely self-taught and not even all her own circle of friends, who are of the older social order here, have known of her literary attainments. Indeed, Mrs.

Burbank, with her acute sense of humor, does not speak cf her attainment as literary, though a successful play is a thing to which raany Hterary persons aspire. Her txperience, selling a first play ipon its first, offering to a producer, and seeing it promptly produced is a most unusual experience to record. But that Is the way in which it happened. Moreover, a subsequent play, a longer one in three acts and her second attempt, bids fair to enjoy the same fate. It is now in the hands of a producer who has sent it tack three times for suggested changes and revisions, which gives her reason to believe something definite is about to happen to it.

She is now engaged upon the lyrics of a musical comedy. Mrs. Burbank is a daughter of the late Judge Amos Taylor. In 1907 she was a maid-of -honor at the Veiled Prophet's ball.
