Hearts Do Break for.
Love Says This Lady
(Replying to an article by Beatrice Fair
fax in The Bee of September SO, entitled,
"Do Hearti Break for Love?")
I want to say to you, Beatrice Fair
fax, you are mistaken I Hearts do
break for love I -The revealments of
life are constantly reaffirming this.
None but a superficial observer of hu
manity and the forces that make for
effects in lives, could fail to note the
truth of that I Of course yo)r sire
right; one need not let even a mighty
disappointment or f sorrow, utterly
wreck one's life; but, nevertheless,
hearts do break! Perhaps it depends
on whose heart it is, and the treat
ment it is subjected to, but hearts do
break, and when one speaks both from
experience and from observation, he
knows the truth of his statement 1
Evidently you would not agree with
Mrs. Browning's line, in Sonnets
from the Portuguese:
Go from me. Yet 1 feel that I ahall atand
henceforward in thy ihadow.. .
Yet this is true of life's experiences
True, we can live above the disap
pointment, in the knowledge that no
one experience is all of life; but if the
love were deep and sincere, it will not
be forgotten.
When the tragedy-hardest to bear
of all, in one's life has fallen, with its
blinding darkness, when we have said
o our own heart:
."What matters now? Life has little
more to take, and nothing more ti
give!" .. . - , -
We can still live, in the same sld
community,' where every day of our
daily life for years is one hard strug
gle; yet we can go on, , making
friends, enjoying friends; successful
in business, supporting one's self and
others, developing on the side to
where experts have pronounced one
an artist, with a smile and encourag
ing word for all; ahd still be , deeply,
Sadly broken-hearted in a solitude
where God knows things as they are,
though the aching heart is not even
guessed by those around with whom
one comes in contact. With a rever
ent memory of the one wonderful
hour, or day or year, which subse
quent days or hours or years cannot
take away or replace, even with the
wonderful happenings bound to come
to all; where even the crowded draw
ing room, filled with cultured and
lovely people, is he arr-breaking . to
one, because the One of all Ones is
not there; with the memory of words
which you cannot permit another to
say to you again, and which you have
not the heart to hear! WJien your
deepest prayers are that you may be
come like the one you loved.
I say all, this is not only possible,
but is actually happening in many
lives. You may call it "weak,"
"spineless,", "anaemic," if you wish,
and yet the proof of the successful
overthrowing of shmom htmaht ina
overcoming of sorrow and defeat in
the above named accomplishments
mentioned by yourself, oi business
success, competency, is there, and
wonderful friendships; all that, goes
to make up a life of victory over con
flict, and' with all that I repeat:
Hearts do break, for love! Don't you
ever doubt it, for a moment!

Measurements in Cooking.
Many an . experienced cook, and
more than a few -inexperienced ones,
are rather contemptuous of the idea
of reducing cooking to 'an exact sci
ence. If I were perfectly accurate in
my statement I should not say "exact
science," but "attempt at exact ' Sci
ence," for the standardizinir of cook
ing processes is such a new thing
that almost none of it has passed be
yond the experimental stage. Yet we
have a right to say that some of our
knowledge is definitely settled for us,
and it is these accurate proportions
that can and should be carefully
measured. t ,:
The "born" cook an ho one can
deny her existence senses the right
look of a mixture and gauges her in
gredients by intuition. Unfortunately,
the "born" cook is such a rarity that
most of us seldom meet her and for
the average woman measurements are
sign posts along the way to a perfect
product. One or two more words
about the "born" cook before we leave
her and proceed on ou own path.
Don't -you agree with me that often
she reaches her height of perfection
oyer the - ruined products of the
"trial-and-error." hitrormiss method?
I am. perfectly willing v to. admit
that jome things, seasonings for ex
ample, " cati scarcely be measured.
Though some recipes call for- one
eighth teaspoon pepper, or some
other small amount, that measure
ment is nothing more than a guide,
for most of us use shakers for pepper
and other spices.. But when a reliable
recipe tells us to use one . teaspoon
of baking powder, that amount should
be measured in a teaspoon 'and the
teaspoon leveled off with knife. Or if
one and one-half teaspoons is called
for the extra half teaspoon should be
measured by , taking an accurate tea
spoon of material and dividing that
teaspoonful through the. center
lengthwise with a knife. An old
recipe usually means rounding meas
urement; hence' the number of tea
spoonfuls, if measured level, should
be just double in number.
An interesting story is told of the
origin of accurate measurements.
When Fannie Merritt Farmer, so
long connected with the Boston
Cooking School, "was cooking in her
home kitchen one day, her small
nephew was watching her. He no
ticed her measuring in rounded
spoonfuls, and said, "But, auntie, you
don't always get them alike. Why
don't you measure two level spoons
for each rounded one?" The child's
suggestion took root in Miss Farm
er's mind and all recipes from her
school are accurate in level measure
ments. , '
We 'accept one set of equivalents
for liquid and dry measure for prac
tical purposes. Three teaspoons equal

Applying This Paste w
Actually Removes Hairs
(Beauty Notes)
Merely applying an inexpensive
paste to a hairy surface, say beauty
specialists, will dissolve the hairs.
NThis paste is made-by mixing a little J
water with some powdered delatone ;
after about 2 minutes it is rubbed
off and the skin washed. This simple
method not only removes every trace
of hair, but leaves the skin free from
blemish. To insure success with this
treatment, be careful to get real
delatone. Advertisement ' .
