If I were as entertaining as those other women in his set he would be proud of me. 'Had he not cared more for me, wouldn't he have married one of them instead of me? Didn't Merton Gray say that they were jealous be- cause 1 had earried away the big matrimonial eateh of the town? He didn't have to marry me. I brought him no fortune, nothing save myself. Even my clothes were unsuitable for my new station, Those other women needn't think I was foolish enough to sit calmly down and let them take him away from me after he had shown that he cared more for me by marrying me. No indeed! I don't think George: quite real- ized how a woman like Madge Loring could have her own way with a girl like me. How she could easily get out of me all I was doing; everything she wanted to know. He of course knew nothing of the subtle stabs-- which | scarcely understood, the cut- ting insinuations which I was not worldly-wise enough to either appre- ciate--or answer, "You do understand that mean anything wrong, George?" 1 pleaded. "Oh, go to bed! 'Hell is paved with good intentions.' That you did- n't mean to do anything wrong won't prevent everyone I know from laugh- ing at you and me, too, because of your foolishness.'

Perhaps the best, most economical, and most satisfactory way to make use of savory stews, as the main dish for at least one dinner a week, To turn our entire population in- to non-meat-eating pepole is by no means desirable, But to stretch the supply of meat over the needs of the United States and our Allies is nec- essary and quite possible without en- tailing any hardships. 'Beef, lamb, mutton, and veal are each an excellent dhoice in making a savory stew; but the Food Admin- istration has requested that the kill- ing of young animals be avoided, as they mean a very much larger amount of meat if left to' grow to maturity. A dairy heifer, when grown, also represents milk and many. pounds of it, emch pound being of inestimable value in feeding the 'we should rely upon beef and mutton for our stews, There is very little real difference in actual flavor be~ tween lamb and muwon-----the differs the life of a growing sheep results in greatly Increasing the amount of Therefore choose possible.

FINNISH FOLK SONGS, Expert Speaks of Beautiful European Music. "The Finnish folk songs are not purely Finnish in origin. dern research shows that the populaf mel- adies of most countries have wander- «d about from one land to another, and those of Finland are no excep- tion to the rule. In them we do but find Finnish characteristics stamped on to what was originally a common European stock. Nevertheless the national note is strong in them, It is both grave and gay, seeming in the one case to embody the surging joy of the summer on which no darkness ever falls; in the other, the long snow-lit twilight of the winter, when for months on end the sun searcely peeps above 'the level of the frozén earth," Prof. Arthur Reade of Hals- ingfors University, writes in "Fin- land and the Fins." '"The ancestral love of song is also clearly expressed In the actual life of to-day, and one cannot help realizing that it springs out of the inmost heart of the people. In the long summer evénings people sit together and sing. On anniver- saries choirs sing before the statues of Finland's great men. At dinners given to honored guests, s)nging is often part of the entertainment af forded. The Finns imprisoned in Russia for defending the constitu- tion have often been sent off with singing and welcomed with singing on their return. From emigrant ships upon the Atlantic floats the sad cadence of Finnish songs, and in the new world the Finns meet together ang sing their country's immemorial songs in a strange land." "Finnist composers have, as might be expected, turned mainly to folk songs and the 'Kalevala' for their themes. The latter, with its vast in- definiteness, is full of suggestions to musicians, and, if Finland develops a modern opera, will no doubt furn- ish its heroes and heroines, as Homer did for Greek tragedy. In this way Finnish legend may become more widely known to the rest of Europe. 'Among Finnish composers Jean Sibelius is by far the greatest. While transcending the limits of national- ity and forming part of the main cur- rent of European music, + he is yet distinctively Finnish, in his love of nature and his patriotism. The lat- ter is discernible in his choice of subjects, both for orchestral music and for songs, but it is best described as an atmosphere pervading all his work. Not only did he often turn to the 'Kalevala' for his inspiration, but also to, that other great source of national feeling, the poems of Rune- berg. He is not only [a great lover of nature but there seems to be some- thing peculiarly Finnish in his way of apprehending her, the Finnish landscape in all its mocds being often brought most vividly into the mind of the hearer. , , , He ex- cels in depicting poignant moments, especially in his songs, which are among the finest of modern times, "It is appropriate that a nation in whose music the song has always played so great a part should be un- usually rich in fine voices.
