looked at him piteously.
"We’re quarreling, Larry.”
"I guess we are,” he assented,
gloomily, his elbows oil his knees and
his chin in his tiands.
"And we said we never would.’’
Her eyes were hot and moist.
“That’s right.”
“But it isn’t right for you to be as
aggravating as you are."
"I guess you are tired out and not
feeling very well, Carol," he sug-
gested.
I’m nothing of the kind,” she pro-
tested. "I’m as well as 1 ever was
in ray life, and I'm not cross, either.”
He smiled. "Then you must be mis-
taken. We can't be quarreling, it
takes two to make a quarrel.”

She dimpled, then promptly extin-
guished that charming signal of read-
iness to forgive him for heir fault.

"Oh, 1 didn't say that,” he re-
proached.
Her eyes opened wide with aston-
ishment. "You did, sir. And—and I
guess it's true. I was horrid, Larry."
The tears were welling over now un-
restrained.
Larry somehow found himself very

points of view are as divergent as
possible. Fact is, there's Miles be-

CONSIDtKtD OF* GREAT ’VALUE
Baked Buttermilk for the Complexion
and How Praparad.
Buttermilk in days gone by was al-
most a fetish in the hands of the beau-
,tte* of the times, according to- the Lon-
don Standard. When Marie Antoinette
and her ladles rolled up the sleeves qf
their flowered ‘ muslins and played
with churns iwid cream bowls in the
lalterle at the petit Trianon, the but-
termilk cyaze was at its height.
Unguents for the face as well as tho
potions tn which they Indulged were
probably responsible for the lovely
complexions which made poetg com-
pose odes,to the bloom of thetr cheeks
and painters almost^ implore on their
knees that disdainful beauties should
relent so far as to have their charms
immortalized. In baked buttermilk
one of the strongholds of the complex-
ion was said to lie. In a few days it
worked wonders, while perseverance
in its use during the whole of the sum-
mer months would preserve the skin
smooth end soft as a roseieaf.
Where the sour-milk prophet errs
tc -day is in insufficiently diluting the

ulr.t old recipes of the past being that

"as poured into a Jar with a fitted lid
and placed before the open range dur-
ng the whole of a day.
By night the milk had turned to the
consistency of clotted cream, in which
state it was poured from a height from
one vessel to another*until,-,by some
magical means, the contents had gone,
back once more to the smoothness of
fresh milk. It was then sweetened with
cane sugar and inclosed finally In a
stone bottle, corked down tightly and
placed before the fire, but not too
near, for five or six hours. At first
baked buttermilk does not always ap-
pear particularly pleasing, the mere
fact that it is distinctly sour making
it an acquired taste.
If it was not acid, however, it was
scarcely considered to have been per-
fectly made, while if it effervesced

Smile's Face Value.
Although moat of us would hesitate
to express what might be termed the
face value of the "modern smile," we
certainly realize at tlroefjfhat It ls^
form of currency which MS depreci-
ating. In the “modern smile” we recog-
nize the crude, official thing which
neither .illuminates, cheers nor bridges
awful gaps of alienee. It may savor
of suggesting a wave of lmbectlity to
declare that we ought all to smile
more, but it Is certainly triye that the
charm of a woman's smile was once
esteemed even above beauty. »’•

Concerning Civics.
Ambassador Bryce is delivering a
series of lectures at Yajy on “The Re-
sponsibilities of Citizetfahip"—a topic
that should attract attention in all onr
educational institutidns. The greatest
thing after all is to be an upright, de-
cent citizen and to see that this fhet
has somewhat to do with the govern
ment, says a writer in tho Ohio State
Journal. —~
Mr. Bryce being beyond the partisan
pale, is a fit person to deal with the
subject of civic and political Institu-
tions. Here is one thing he said at a
recent lecture: “Party spirit in na
tioaal policies tends to arouse the In-
terest of the voters on questions of na-
tional importance, but in municipal
affairs it was better to keep party
politics out of city elections." We ven-
ture to say that at least three-fourths
of the peqple agree with Mr. Bryce
upon this proposition. A state law
has been passed to encourage the idea

To come across a bit of One's own

ordinarily exasperating to an author;
but a Washington writer on scientific
matters was recently not very agree-
ably surprised by such a development.
It appears that the writer was collect-

him of a valuable paper on the subject
not long before published In a Berlin

bill for the translator's labor, what
was the disgust of the writer to find
that the article was nothing more or

article of his own published the year
before in an English journal. And he

MAN 120 YEARS OLD, WIFE 102.
Couple Still Enjoying the Best of
Health at Altendorf, Hungary.
In Altendorf, Hungary, the Jewtsn
Chronicle states, there resides a Jew-
ish married couple, the husband, Herr-
mann Unterberger, being '120 years
old and the wife 102. Twenty years
ago, when the husband had already
passed the hundredth mile stone, he
lei a house to a merchant named
Spira. The contract required the
payment of 2,000 gulden ln cash and
the supply of all necessary provisions
for the maintenance of the aged
couple during their lives, Jointly or
separately.
Spira readily entered upon this ar-
rangement., thinking that. In view of
the advanced ages of the couple, he
would not long be required to carry
ont the obligation. He has now had
to pay the tribute for 20 years, and
one oaunot say how much longer he
may hare to do oe, as Unterberger gad
his wife still enjoy' the bent of health.
