Dear Nancy Carey How many" calories has rhubarb that is sweetened with saccharin? Is jumping the rope good exercise to take when reducing? Some one told me that' to jump a rope 100 times was equal to five miles of walking. If it is all right I would rather Jump tnatt walk. I am losing weight and am so happy! MARIE.

It takes four rupfuls of 1-inch pieces of uncooked rhubarb to equal 100 calories, and since saccharin has no food value it will not add to the caloric value of the fruit. Of course, If you like to Jump rope, Marie, It will certainly benefit you, since it is a very good exercise, but walking has always been considered such splendid exercise because it brings so many muscles into play and is not strenuous. Continued good luck with your dieting! 1 NAXCY CAREY will help you to solva your home maker problems. Mail your queries to her, care of Woman's Page, Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

When tho Great Northern Railway recently opened bh eight-mile tunnel through the Cascade Mountains, a few miles west of the town, the depot was moved a mile outside the city limits.

In due time the deed to the building was delivered to the club In exchange for $1. The club's smull building fund was used for furnishing and remodeling So successful juis the venture been that a freight shed next to the depot, bought with the same dollar, will be turned Into an Indoor golf Jv and gymnasium nc year.

The guests were the Misses Tirzah rerfect, Eleanor and Ruth Moak, Marjorie Pancoast; Rnadolph H. others. I am a woman of 32 and am deeply in love with a man a few years my senior. He is, 1 am sure, as fond of me as I am of him. We are congenial in every way.

He has asked me to be his wife, and I have promised to marry him. He wants to make me his wife early in the fall, and cannot understand why I will not set the day, and am evasive when he requests me to do so. The fact is that nothing in the world would mHkJ me happier than to be able to say, with no misgivings. "I am ready to be married tomorrow, or any other day!" But something very serious stands in the way. When I was but 18.

and with no mother or older relative to advise me, I away on a vacation with a young man who seemed to be a young fellow of splendid character. It did not seem to me to be in the least wrong to stay in the same hotel with him any more than it would be to live in the same apartment house in the city. He was very fond of all outdoor sports, and so was I. and I just couldn't see why we should not spend our vacations at the same place one usually becomes acquainted with both men and girls at summer hotels, and pals more or less with them. So why not make sure of a really congenial companion? That was the way I felt about it.

But. unlor-tunately, the young man felt differently, and before the vacation was over something happened that made me hate him and myself. Much sorrow and heartache fol lowed and it was years before I could begin to be myself again. I tried to be sensible and not let that experience blight my whole life and reasoned that I was very young at the time. I decided to Just it all to the best of my ability, know ing full well that there would never again be any danger of repeating such an awful mistake.

I also de termined to not mention it to any man who might wish to marry me. But now, Helen Worth, the time has come when I don't know what to do I love and respeot this man and wish nothing to stand in the way of his respect for me. If I tell him of this experience he will consider me "damaged goods" and lose soma of the respect he now has for me even if he elects to condone the offense. And he is quite likely to not forgive me for I happen to know that his opinions on such sub jects are pretty old fashioned ind puritanical. If I do not tell him, I shall have no respect for myself besides, Uv ing in more or less dread that some wav he will learn of this past affair.

The man in the case still lives here, and two other persons know about it. There might b- blackmail sometime, especially as my fiance Is in good financial cir cumstances. What shall I do? I am worried beyond description. CONSTANCE. My dear "Constance" "If I do not tell him, I shall have no respect for myself." Therein it would seem to me lies your own answer to the question asked.

It is quite possible that a man of 35, who has seen much of life, could understand and freely forgive and fully forget the mistake made at 18. Men's lives are not always blameless and Just why they should always assume the "I-am-holler-than-thou" attitude is one of life's American Women to Attend 25th Anniversary at Berlin Of Women Suffrage Alliance A delegation of 24 American women will take part in the 25th anniversary meeting of the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, to be held In Berlin from June 17 to 22.

HELEN WORTH. The Kind of Party High School Students Like. Dear Helen Worth I feel sure that you are just the person to help me. We have always been very far from wealthy until recently. Indeed, it was a hard struggle to get.

atony and bring up the children without giving them luxuries or being able to entertain. But the time has now come when we do not need to stint, and I would like to entertain for my children but do not know Just how to go about it. My girl is a junior at high school, and the boy is in his first year at high. What kind of a party could I give, and would it be best to have two, one for the girl and one for the boy, and should both boys and girls be invited to eacn party r. My dear Unless your youngsters are unlike the average youth of today, they can tell you exactly the sort of party they crave and how! It would be better to give two parties since each child probably has his or her own circle of friends.

Why not a large dance for your daughter, and a small dinner party for the boy? The latter can be given with great ease at some hotel or club, and the responsibility then falls upon other shoulders. There are a few cardinal rules which insure the success of any party, large or small a congenial crowd (your daughter will see to that) good music, a fine floor and satisfactory refreshments. Lots and lots and lots of ice cold fruit punch, plenty of coffee (it's the mark of sophistication today for the sub- debs, and they "adore" It), good sandwiches, candies and small cakes are sufficient. Use cut flowers about the house, remove every rug and bit of furniture possible and a good time is sure to be had by all. HELEN WORTH.

By JANE LESLIE KIFT. I have a perennial larkspur which for the last three years has in mid summer oecoine covered with a white, moldy deposit. This is, think, responsible for the blasting of about 50 percent of the buds. What can you suggest to overcome this condition? MRS. PARK S.

Better spray the plants with cold water, and while the foliage is sI damp with dew dust some powdered sulphur over it. The sulphur must reach both sides of the leaves, so that it is best applied with a blower gun. Please tell mn whether to ulant speedwell In sun or shade. Should it have a rich soil? MRS. GEORGE F.

Speedwell does best in full sun and, while it prefers a moist soli, will grow in poor land. Some bone meal added to the soil in the early part of the season usually results iii an increase in the size of the flower spikes. Can plalycodons be propagated from seed, or is It belter to divide the roots? KATHERINE M. The most successful method of propagating these plants is bv seeds. The root stalks aie fleshy and thick and a great deal of care must be exercised in dividing them.

Please tell me how to care for hardy phloxes. AN AMATEUR GARDENER. Phlox requires a great deal of water. In the middle of summer the tops as well as the roots must be watered every day. Mulching Is always beneficial.

The soil should be prepared to the depth of about two feet, and it should be moist and well drained. II, during damp seasons the plants are attacked by mildew, spray them with bordeaux mixture or dust them with powdered sulphur. Please tell me how to Increase a supply of bee balm. A REGULAR READER. You can increase beo balm by sowing seed or by dividing the old plants.

Please tell me when to prune a large hydrangea bush. I think my shrub Is of the grandlflora variety. I pruned It early in the spring and am now wondering if I will have flowers this fall. MRS. TERRY II.

L. Early spring Is the time to prune a hydrangea panlculata grand.llora. Please tell me whether tuberose? can be started in pots In the hnse. CAROLINE J. M.

For early flowering tuberoses can be started in February or March In a hotbed, and for a succession of blooms can be planted at Intervals until as late as July. You can plant, them In the open border In your locality as early as May. They require a rich, well-drained soil and plenty of rater. Please tell me the name of the inclosed picture of a flower. I unfortunately lose the name which was at one time attached to the picture.

What care dues this plant require? EMILY L. II. Bapttsla. This plant must be planted In full sunlight, otherwise it will prove shy In bloomln. It does quite well in dry, sandy soil.
