Any nuts may be salted in the same way, but almonds snould .be blanhced first. Select Jordan al monds and cover with boiling water, allowing them to stand for half an hour or more. Scrape off the skins and dry on napkin. Put one-third cup olive oil in a very small sauce pan. When hot, put in a portion of the almonds and fry until delicately browned, stirring to keep almonds constantly in motion. Remove with a spoon or small skimmer, taking up as little oil as possible. Drain on brown paper and sprinkle with salt; repeat until all are fried. Do not use very much salt.

Advice to the Lovelorn Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave the Sea' , By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Society Manners. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a young girl, very inexperienced In keeping company with the boys. There is one special thing I would like to know. Is It proper to let a boy kiss you goodnight? After go ing any place with a boy, should you tell him you enjoyed yourself or had a nice time? Respectfully yours, SWEET. Do not permit the boys to kiss you After an evening out with a young man thank him, tell him that you have enjoyed the show and his com pany, (or comment on whatever en tertainment he has furnished). Boys do not appreciate the kissing girls. ire May Be Bashful. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have two beautiful daughters, for whom I care for very much. The older one is keeping company with a young man who refuses to come into the house if any member of the family is in the living room. He is a very respectable man so far as I know, and I have nothing against him other than the above. Should I allow her to keep going with him? Hoping to see this in print soon, sin cerely yours, MRS. C. He may be bashful. I should in sist, however, that he come in when the family are present that is only decent Tell your daughter to ex plain that it is not only discourteous, but extremely annoying to her, when he refuses to meet the family. After the Vice is broken" he may be all right. Everybody Read. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: In regard to letter signed "Afraid," you advice is very good and you are right in saying she is a good girl, but she is indeed in a trying posi tion and it is hard to break away and still be in the same city. I am quite sure I realize what she is fac ing. Would It not be a good plan for her to get work somewhere else? There is plenty of work right here and in our store if she would like it, if even for a short while, until she could better herself. I would like so much to help her if she needs help in any way. Please do not "publish this, but let her know about it If you can, and am adding names and addresses where she can find out anything she wishes as to our re-, spectability, as She would not care to trust herself to any one again unless she knew about them, tell her to write me if she wishes. Truly yours, "G." This letter Is from a young lady who gives banks and the most re putable firms in the town in which she lives as references. She is what I call a good, square girl, human and without "claws." I know, she asks me not to publish the letter, but I am sure she will not care since I have omitted her name. It is good to read not only for myself, but the sentiment has its good effect upon all of our friend-readers. "Afraid" did not give me her name and address wish she had. Hope Box. Dear Miss Fairfax: Kindly tell me everything a girl should have for her "hope box" , if she is to be married soon. INQUISITIVE. Suppose you do a bit of this think ing for yourself. Most of the thrills in life come from planning, anticipa tion and actual labor, therefore, I shall not rob you of that which really belongs to the engaged girl the pleasure of planning. Brown Eyes Hair that Is growing out for the first time is difficult to comb. , Curling it removes many dif ficulties and there are clever ways shown in magazines. Be Patient. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I'm a young married woman and have very nice neighbors. They call to see me quite often. I like them all real well, but when we are together all they talk about is their church affairs, their aid, their min ister, how good and smart he is and how grand his children are. I get so tired of It. Now, don't think, my dear, that I m not a church mem ber, for I am, but, have a different faith and I take no pleasure In al ways bragging our minister and his wife and family to them. I don't want to seem impolite to them, but sometimes I think I can't atand them. Please send me your always good advice through The Bee. Do you think these people do- right? Answer soon, please. ANXIOUS. Be patient with your friends. We cannot make forks over and, there fore, must accept them and over look peculiarities. You may have some of your own, you know, and be unconscious of them. Remember the little truism: There is so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us. That it hardly behooves any of us To speak ill of the rest of us. - Another Bachelor Farmer. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am asdally reader of "Advice to the Lovelorn." I think it is the most In teresting part of the paper. I never wrote to the letter col umn before, so would like to see my letter in print in the near future. I am a bachelor farmer of 'almost 23 years. I think Just like Miss Correct Spring Fashions In Women's FootWear Grace, elegance, simplicity and com I P u if U m '.V', ', . pi fort characterize our Spring offer ings in footwear. The Fry moder ate prices will be an added in ducement for you to be fitted here. llSiK.iI Are Fairfax that Bobble should know the "Bachelor Farmer" and possibly she could forget some of her trou bles. Say, you bachelor farmers, why don't you get busy and write to the letter column. Don't let the girls do all the writing, as Miss Fairfax says the "Bachelor Farmer" will break into print again in the near future, so let's get busy. I think Bobble would do good to try 6ome one brand new. , Miss Fairfax, I would like to ask a little advice from you. I have went with several girls in the last three years and they always turn to some one else. I don't know what is wrong. I always treat them as good as I possibly know how. yThe other boys tell me I haven't got enough "pep" for the girls, but if I have to be a fool to get a girl I don't think I want one. but 1 al ways said I've never met the right one yet, and I think I am right, don't you? - Please tell me if you think I have the wrong idea about it A LONELY BACHELOR. No, Lonely Bachelor, I sadly fear you have not met the right girl yet. You don't have to be a fool to get a girl really you don't, for I have" met perfectly sane, sensible men who have found the girl of girls. Your idea is right, only be sure that you don't lose the Joy In living your self. You're only 23. The Wrong Idea. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a tall, good looking young man witn Diue eyes ana ngnt nair. I read your "Advice to Lovelorn" and enjoy it very much. Now Miss Fairfax about two weeks ago a girl friend, visited at. my home. I have known her from child hood. We have always been good friends. We went about together while she was here and thought a lot of her when taking her home. I asked if I may call again. She accepted my can. wnen x came home l learned from my sister that she was en gaged. I did not call on her again. Now Miss Fairfax, what is the right thing to do by her. Was it fair of her to not tell me of her engage ment? Hoping to see this in print. I remain anxious BLUE EYES. The young lady probably thought your attentions were those of a friend, supposing that your sister had told you. I see nothing wrong in the mere fact that she granted your request to call. Treat the matter lightly as friend to friend and not as sweetheart to prospective sweet heart. To Our Bachelor Farmer. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I, too, wonder whether a loveless mar riage can bring real happiness. In the last eight years I have been in many homes. I find where there Is no love in the home there is very lit tle else but friction. I have also seen where the little "God of love" reigns supreme, such Is truly a won derful home. We can not truly say that we have lived until we learn to love with mind, heart soul and body; where these four are appreciated a home will be heaven indeed. A few years ago I kept company with a wealthy doctor, a very good man, and about 20 years my senior. As the time drew near for the wed ding I could not bear, to think of becoming the mother of this man s children, because I did not love him. I do love children. The very thought that possibly sometime I might have a home and become a little mother has been a very refining Influence in my life. No, I shall never mariay for aught but love. As I am a few years your Junior, "Bachelor Farmer," I will continue to hope that love Is waiting Just around the corner. Please let me hear from those who know, who speak with authority, be cause of experience. v : "JAQUELIN15." M. M. M.

Of course you should treat your mother-in-law with respect, but I do not think that you need go where it is unpleasant.
