No man can save and H'iI ret out of debt without his wife's j help." said Olive H( "That was what John said He gave me full credit for all I hav tried to do. Oh, I am so happy." "So are all vnur friends," begai Olive. "Yes, dear Mrs. Morton," interrupt ed Molly. "She will be as pleased as if she had. inherited a fortune." "You can tell her yourself wher you go down for your vacation nexi month," added Olive. "Oh, I canuot sleep tonight until I have written to her. She has meanl so much to me.

"That is the greatest miracle of all it seems to me, that things could JC-JiMy be the same and seem so dif fcrent." Molly rested her chin on her hand and looked off over the sunny landscape. "I suppose now you will not have to go without everything while you pay your debts." Olive looked inquir-iugl inquir-iugl at Molly. "We decided last night when we talked it over to put all the increase of salary into the debt paying fund, and live on the original eighty dollars dol-lars a month " "Good!" applauded Olive. "And when the debts are wiped out sq plan to put that twenty dollars a month in the bank or somewhere so we will have a nest egg of a savings account. We must never be in such tight places again as this careless extravagance ex-travagance has plunged us in. You see we have been living on sixty dol lnrs a month since early last winter. Eighty will seem a liberal allowance Oh, I can live on eighty dollars a month all right." she laughed THE END. POTATO DISH. Cook in water 1 1-2 pounds of potatoes pota-toes which have been peeled and cut in slices, and add a pinch of salt. When they are almost done, pour water wa-ter away and stand in oven for a quarter quar-ter of an hour. Pass through sieve. Put the potatoes when mashed into a saucepan and add five ounces of powdered pow-dered sugar, two ounces of butter in small pieces, three eggs (both white and yolk) four yolks and a pinch of grated lemon rind Beat up two whites of eggs into a froth, add a pinch of sugar and place on potatoes. Pour int a mold which has been coated with caramel Cook for 50 minutes, in a quiet oven. If desired, the dish can be served with a sauce, half a pint of milk to which three yolks of eggs have been added, as well as sugar and lemon rind. Cook very lightly. PICOT FINISH. A very pretty, but not very common com-mon finish for broadcloth collars and other trimmings is the machine-made picot. Tt must be well done, when each tiny point stands out conspicuously conspic-uously against the black velvet and other dark fabric which it usually trims. FASHION'S DECREE. Some of the smart new bags are made of black velvet with bands of cut steel beads embroidered in bands an inch and a half wide. The bags are drawn into a steel frame, and big steel-bead balls finish the bottom. Aeroplane trimmings on toques of velvet are still much used. These are wide, outstanding bows or flaps of velvet, faced with satin, the two standing at sharp angles to the top of the tpque. The neckline that shows a bit of the front of the throat, a bit of the back and a bit of each shoulder is still in force the neckline that is an inch or so lower than the line of decapitation decapi-tation all around, and that is found in dresses that stand out a bit from the neckJ Bib pockets edged with fur are fojnd on many smart coats on |
