Seven Woman's Ideas, Fads, Fancies, Fashions and Affairs on This Page of Femininity THE READING NEWS TIMES, READING, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 1,1916 What's to of Peggy? By ETHEL LLOTTD PATTERSON No. 39. A Luncheon. As the clock struck twelve I flew from my desk. I wanted to be on time to meet Mr.

Iazen. And I also wanted to prink a little in the washroom. I patted my hair the hair he admired so much into place and adjusted my hat carefully. I powdered my face and then bit my lips1 and rubbed my cheeks roughly with my fingers to make them red, as I had seen Mazie do. And just then she came into the washroom.

"You must be hungry today!" she laughed. "What's the rush? Bats will keep another five minutes." "I'm not going to lunch with you," I told her. "I'm sorry, but I'm going some place else." She looked at me quizzically. "Well I ain't angry," she an ounced. "Is the little birdie get wings of its own? But if you get a good thing you might let me In on it.

It is a date; isn't it?" I nodded a little shamefacedly. And I heard her rough laughter as I fled toward the elevator. Had I but known it A girl is never really bad until she has learned to laugh at the shyness or innocence of another girl. Mr. Hazen was waiting for me in the main entrance of Duncan's store.

He took off his hat very politely to me and held out his hand. "How do you do, Miss Gloster?" he said. "You look fresh as the dawn." Such marvellous manner dazzled me. I scarcely knew what to say. Mr.

Hazen tucked my hand under his arm, and we walked a few blocks, he chatting easily until we came to a small, attractively furnished restaurant, of which I had never heard. What awed me most was the deference of the waiters to my escort. They seemed to know HOW TO MAKE GOOD THINGS TO EAT Parsnips. Cook parsnips until under boiling water, then drain and cool. When it is time for the meal, cut in halves and fry in butter on both sides until brown.

Sprinkle in very little sugar over them to insure a nice hryn surface. Boiled parsnips, m.ushed and mixed with fritter batten then fried in deep fat, is another much liked dish. Fried Onions. Fried onions are so rich and indi HOUSE CLEANING SNAP FOR WOMAN WHEN SHE'S FIT Husband Tells How Easy Tan lac Made Wife's House Cleaning WAS ALMOST DOWN IN BED Whether hubby is much worried or not when wifey is on the sick list, just the same he's pretty anxious to tell somebody the moment she's able to keep things looking tidy about the house and has his meals on time. He then discovers how essential she is to his earthly existence.

However, we are not in a position to tell exactly what led John Dersch to unbosom to the Tanlac man, but all he talked about was his wife and the Master Medicine. The Dersches live at 1013 Franklin street. Read ins "My wife got to feeling so bad that she had. to give up right in the' middle of housecleaning," Mr, declared to the Tanlac man Saturday. "She had' not been very well for seme time, but it seemed that the extra exertion of housecleaning was too much for her.

Her back gave way and she got so weak she could hardly stand it alone; and she had night sweats. She was so irritable and nervous that she couldn't get any sleep. "After she suffered this way for days and we could not find anything to give her relief, I put her on Tanlac because we knew of a dozen women in our neighborhood whom It had helped. She Went to cleaning house 5 again about the fourth day after beginning with Tanlac" and she's through with the job now. It put her right on her feet.

Her back seems all right and I never hear her speak of it. She speaks of feeling so strong that the night sweats are broken up. I am a pretty good sleeper and I' know she sleeps sounder than I do. She's taken bottles since she began and, by George, it has brought her out. Has a.

better appetite than I ever knew her to have. "That Tanlac certainly Is a whirlwind when it comes to putting the sex into good shape. No wonder my wife talks Tanlac from morning to night." Tanlac, the new reconstructive vegetable tonic, stomachic and in vigorant, is being specially introduced at the drug store of Bamford Kemp, corner Fourth and Penn streets, Reading, by the Tanlac man, who defines its' action and makes known the results to be expected from its Adv. Become AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A MODERN GIRL him and to hang upon his every gesture. A city waiter gives deference always where true deference Is least deserved.

And careless service where there should be deference. Mr. Hazen ordered the lunch without even consulting me. And for this, too, was deeply grateful. He seemed to know what "a la this" and "a la that" meant on the menu, and I could have thanked him outright for not exposing my own ignorance before these wonderful waiters.

And with each course I waited for Mr. Hazen to begin his love making of the previous Saturday. But never a word of love did he say. He asked me solicitously if the various foods (pleased me; showed me how to! squeeze a little dash of lemon on my fish; explained why It was better so; talked on continuously and easily as though his only object In life was to amuse me and mate me feel at home. And now I know that as I grand ually settled Into my sense of security this man was watching me, appraising and testing.

He was laying out his plan of battle as scientifically as a general. After some fruit and some pastry, more delicious than any I had ever tasted, we rose to go. My lunch hour was over. And Mr. Hazen walked half way to the office with me and then said "Good by." By tacit agreement we avoided returning together.

And so I took my place at my desk once more a very puzzled girl. What could this mean? An admirer who made love to you one minute and treated you like a brother the next! At last I had met a man who could play a waiting game. Next Chapter A Catastrophe. gestible, withal so tasty, that one dislikes to eliminate them from the diet. When cooked with tart apples, using one part onion to two parts apples, the dish is fully as delicious and more digestible.

Put a small amount of drippings in the frying pan, add the sliced onion and brown a little; then add the apple and a small amount of boiling water, sprinkling of sugar, salt and pepper, and cook until all are well done. This dish may be baked in the oven and requires less care. HANDY. KNOWS FOR HOUSEWIFE To save breakage of dishes and glasses, cut a piece of rubber hose and fit, it over each faucet. A clothesline should be thoroughly cleaned once a month by wrapping it around the washboard and giving It a good scrubbing.

After cleaning brass or copper with salt and vinegar rub well with olive oil and the metal will not tarnish, for a long time. When the children's flannels have become shrunken and hard they may be restored to their former softness by soaking in gasoline. A little catsup poured over pork when It is roasting improves the flavor. KITCHENER HARSHLY RAPPED IN COMMONS Criticises War Office for "Mismanagement and Inefficiency" LONDON, May 31. Lord Kitchin er, head of the British War Office, was made the target for the harshest criticism heard in Common since the beginning of the war this afternoon, when Colonel Winston Churchill, former First Lord of the Admiralty, arose to discuss a motion to reduce Kitchener's salary.

Churchill charged the War Office with "grave mismanagement, inefficiency" and "defective organization." "For every six soldiers in the British army, we have but one rifle leveled at the enemy," declared the former Admiralty chief. Churchill scored the War Office for breaking up seasoned battalions by sending them Into slaughter while the War Office had thousands of other troops behind the lines. He cited the case of the 9th Scottish, which lost 6,000 out of 9, 000 infantrymen in the bloddy Strug gle at Loos. "Balaclava, with the charge of the Light Brigade, paled before the deeds of those men," said Churchill. "Yet the public knew nothing of the manner in which they went to their death' V.

WOMAN BITES COP Lively Tussle Before Jennie Was Brought to Police Station Resisting with violence of the "Russian Lioness," Jennie Smith, 31, colored, was brought to police station about 9.45 Wednesday morning by Patrolmen Eudy and Dillon, and both showed marks as a result of their encounter with the woman, who arrested her on Deem street. Eudy bitten on the finger an'd the woman tried to deliver a knockout punch to Dillon's stomach. The case of the struggling negress called for an extra session of police court, Alderman Breen, hardly having adjourned the first session when she was brought in, and by 10 o'clock she was committed for 30 days in default of $11.25. The Smith woman was arrested by request of a neighbor J. J.

Klopp, on Deem street, who testified that all through the night the woman had been disturbing his family and calling them vile names. She continued her tirade on Wednesday morning when the cops were called. There was a livery tussle on Deem street when Jennie was placed under arrest. BRUMBAUGH DROPS THREE HARRISBURG, May 31. Rumors that the Governor intends to make important changes in Philadelphia's Board of Registration Commissioners were confirmed when it was learned at the Executive Department today that Clinton Rogers Woodruff, Albert S.

Morgan and John O'Donnell will be dropped, as members with the expiration of their term, June 15. In their places the Governor will appoint Albert H. Ladner, William A. Carr and Fred J. Shoyer.

George S. Pierie Is the only member of the board whose term expires at that time who will be reappointed. These changes, following closely upon the recognition of Reynolds as dispenser of patronage in Bedford county, are indications to political observers here that the Governor intends to put his own friends in power wherever possible and to displace men who oppose him whenever the opportunity arises. SELECTION OF ORPET JURY DELAYED BY LAWYERS' TILTS Alleged Slayer of Marion Lambert More Cheerful WAUKEGAN, 111., May 31. Dickering between attorneys' delayed completion of the jury today to try Will Orpet for the murder of Marion Lambert.

Orpet was noticeably more Cheerful than he has been since his trial began. MISS PERKINS TO WED Daughter of Col. Roosevelt's Friend Engaged to Edward W. Freeman NEW YORK, May 31.

The Friendship of Haji.

Dr. Alden curbed his impatience with difficulty, as he fumed about the laboratory. "I played directly into their hands," he muttered. "But Professor Haji can teach me more of their methods. I wonder why he takes so long?" Payson Alden rang up his Hindoo friend once more to urge speed.

"I am coming at once. I have finished the necessary costume, my friend," was the mild retort. "On second thought," continued Alden, "they are undoubtedly watching my house. It would be fatal for us to be seen together now. Meet me somewhere, and depend upon it that I will give them the slip from this end, if you can do the same there." "Splendid, Dr.

Aldon. 'We may as well get. near the order meeting place. If you will take a taxlcab to Vassover street and Belmont Boulevard you will strike a corner of the park. Go down the path and keep walking until you reach the rustic bridge.

Beyond this is a small Summer house. I will be there, waiting for you. It will take you nearly half an hour to reach the place from your home. I will bring the costumes with me for immediate action." The rendezvous was on the outskirts of the city and it was a tedious ride to him. The two men greeted each other warmly.

It was evident that theirs was a friendship beyond mere words. "I have indeed descended into the depths of horror during the three days of my initiation," said Hajl. The order is one of the most ancient origin thousands of years old. I have been told. The order had been practically wiped out in Europe because of the great war, but the master intends starting branches throughout the United States within the next few weeks.

Alden's firm mouth tightened in an ironical smile. You must teach me the signs and passwords, so that we may get him together," he answered. "It was a wonderful thing that we came together, Professor Haji, after all your studies in Europe and the East, for we shall do a wonderful service to humanity." "It is so. Well, the secret entrance to the underground meeting room is not over a ten minutes' walk from here. We may as well be preparing for the attempt." In the open air, within the stone enclosure of an old house isolated from any immediate the Master was adjusting a respirating mask.

It was similar to those worn on the battlefields and in the trenches of Europe for the protection against poison gas assults. On an old stone bench lay a box whose label declared that it contained "One gross of Marvel rubber toy balloons The Master carefully filled one of the deflated balloons which he took from their case, studying the pressure of the vapor with satisfaction. He jabbed the taut rubber with a pin, and it exploded to leave a tiny puff of green vapor in the air. Then with his cunning smile, registering supreme self satisfaction, he retired Into the house through a rattling, bolted doorway. He reappeared presently, leading two members of the cult "Before you fill the balloons make sure to have the masks adjusted," was the curt command.

"Then obey my instructions to the letter. I will not fail this time." CHAPTER XTTI. Hall of Mysteries. Alden and Haji had eompleted their preparations. "Well, are we ready for the invasion?" asked the doctor.

"Yes, and here is where we separate," replied Haji. "I will go down this short road while you walk through the underbrush until you reach the top of the knoll. From there we can see the old farmhouse which I am sure covers the underground meeting place. I can take you from the hill to the entrance that they seldom use. There we will meet," and he pointed out the spot.

The two went their ways, Alden tingling with a new thrill of adventure as he realized that his great hope was at last to be realized. How surprisingly our ambitions work out. For months he had wanted to enter the Black Order, and yet now that the moment was at hand, through a devious and unexpected course, he could barely realize the certainty of it. "It seems too good to be true if I can only" surprise the leader himself, catch the spider In his own web, before he is warned what a triumph!" he told himself. The Hindoo walked along slowly, a watchful eye out for observers.

His caution was well taken, for he suddenly stepped behind an, evergreen as he heard voices. Two men extricated themselves from the opening of a great hollow tree, not ten feet from his hiding place. They bore in their hands the strings of bobbing balloons, which they handled gingerly. The Hindoo stepped behind the brush to get a better view. His foot crunched a dried twig.

The first of the couple heard the noise, and he called to his comrade. "There's some one over there. Qiuck, this way to the road." The twain rushed through the thicket like frightened rabbits. As they did so the balloons became tangled in the branches of a low spreading cedar tree. When they had disappeared Hajl stepped to the balloon to ponder over its mystery.

He caught at the string to pull it away. As he did so the delicate rubber burst! (To be continued.)

REAR ADMIRAL DEAD WASHINGTON, May 31. Rear Admiral John F.

Merry, retired, of Boston, died at the naval hospital here yesterday. mm HOW TO KEEP WELL BY DR. W. A. EVANS THE OPEN AIR CRUSADERSi Miss Harriett Fulmer vouches for the truth of this story: Thirty years' ago' a young man and his wife set tled in a prosperous, healthy, farm ing community.

Though the country was healthy they moved into a house that was not. The house was dark. Insanitary, and old. After liv. ing in this house for a few years they rtoved to a larger farm, but into a house that was nearly as insanitary as the first one.

Eight children were born to this couple. Three died of tuberculosis while they lived in the first house. While the land was fertile and the man's Income was good, the family had so much sickness that they could not save anything. They paid out their surplus for doctor's bills and patent medicines. They had typhoid fever and measles, and the children were left frail and delicate.

Another soon contracted tuberculosis. A daughter married and went to live in the first house, where she got typhoid fever and consumption followed. Another story to go with the above: A mother with advanced tuberculosis kept her baby on the bed besides her. She gave the baby milk from the cup she had just used. She would take candy from her own mouth and give it to the baby.

And another: A young schoolmaster contracted consumption. In his schoolroom there were three or four children with the disease. Dur lng the last year of his life he fre quented stores and barber shops SDittlnsr promiscuously. He left a family of small children dependent on others. When small children are Infected with tuberculosis they may become sick at once with consumption, spinal disease, hip disease, or scrofula, or they may, as more frequently happens, store up the infection until early manhood, at which time the latent disease develops into con sumption of the lungs.

Now the people of this neighbor hood know of conditions. They are trying to benefit them. They have an active health league. They have had the services for a while of a tu berculosis nurse. The school children have organ lzed the Open Air Crusaders and adopted the Rules of Health: I will try 1.

To have fresh air where work or play. 2. To stay outdoors as much as possible. 8. To sleep with my windows open, or on the porch.

4. To breath through my nose and with my mouth closed. 5. To bathe my body every day, or at least once a week. 6.

To keep my clothes clean and tidy. 7. sit up straight in school all the time. 8. To help my school teacher to keep our schoolroom clean and well ventilated.

9. To ask the manager of the moving picture shows in my town to have theatres clean and well venti lated. 10. To clean my teeth, especially at night before going to bed. 11.

To see that no dirt or rubbish is in my yard, alley or street 12. To be careful not to spit in public places. 13. To eat plenty of good nourish ing food. 14.

To see that there are no flies or rats where I live. 15. To influence my family and friends to help me keep these rules, 16. To always wear my badge and sing the Open Air Crusaders song. BABY'S CARE.

writes: "Would you kindly give me a diet for a baby 10 months old? He weighs 22 pounds now, seems well and healthy In every way, and lively. He has two teeth and doesn't creep or try to stand. The last month I have been feeding him orange juice, oatmeal, toast, graham crackers, besides his regular milk mixed with oatmeal gruel, about 7 ounces at a time, with a little lime water. Do you think I have been feeding him right? Have been using certified milk so far, but do you think I could use the pasteurized milk now? He has always been con stipated, but have been giving min eral oil which helps." REPLY. Your baby is a little heavy and fat.

You must, therefore, expect him to be a little slow in crawling and standing. In additions, boys are slow in starting. Do not give him quite so much starch oatmeal, toast, graham crackers, and gruel. Give him some meat juice and meat soup and let him suck a bone occasionally. Give him a little very finely chopped spinach ad carrots.

Pasteurized milk is alright. FOOD TOO RICH. B. writes: "1. What causes gas in a 4 weeks old baby's stomach? 2.

What foods should a mother avoid eating when nursing a REPLY 1. The food is probably too rich. The mother should drink more water and eat less. The baby should drink a little water. 2.

Depends on circumstances. The rule is that the mother should eat what she pleases provided she digests what she eats. Sometimes mothers eat too much fruit for the good of their babies. More frequent ly they eat too little. GIRLS ON PICNIC DROWNED Two Lose Lives as Boat Upsets in Creek Near WiUiamsport WILLIAMSPORT, May 81.
