A woman well known among her
friends for the tempting little dishes
served at her table says that usually
those dishes are her little economies.
One of her ways of disposng of cold
chicken, or in fact of any kind of cold
meat that is well favored and tender,
is to serve it with boiled rice and a
curry sauce. Tine sauce is made first
by browning slightly a large tablespoon
ful of butter with a teaspoonful of
minced onion, cooking them slowly in
a frying pan.
A tablespoonful of -four and the
same quantity of curry powder are then
added, and the mixture is stirred until
smooth and frothy. Add two gills of
cold milk, little ut a time, stirring the
sauce all the time, and season it with a
teaspoonful of salt and dash of pep
per Cut the chicken fine, turn the
sauce over it and heat slowly. This
dish should be served on a heated dish
with hot boiled rice A half cupful OF
rice boiled until soft is a sufficient guam
tity for the given quantity of chicken.

There was commotion in the hotel /

for somebody to treat hurried to see what

There's sick travelling man. He's

some one in authority was saying.
There We're plenty of volunteers to help
carry the sick man to room, and soon
temporary nurse was installed and a
doctor in charge of the case.
There was nothing unusual about it.
He wasn't the first sick man that had
stranded there, and would not be the
last. The only curious thing about him
was this: He heard the landlord say:
Take him INTO thirteen"
mo, no. he said feebly, 'that is an
unlucky number to NEEDN'T put me
/ there"
"All right" said the landlord, "give
/ him eighteen, that's empty" And the
men bore him carefully upstairs.
But the landlord had winlSed to those
who had him IN charge, and they had
responded by an answering wink. which
said in dumb show, "All right, we un-
derstand.
So they carried him into the room with
the unlucl1y number, and he, having
faith in the man he had appealed to,
asked no questions. Indeed he could
not, for as they carried him into the
room he swooned, and they had enough
to do, with the doctors help, to revive
him.
Then he dozed. and started up in fe-
verish delirium, and called for people
who were far away, and raved and NUT
tered, and the landlord was laughing
down at the bar, telling of his good joke
in deceiving the sick man.

said. 81 amt no patience with such
superstitions, and what the eye don't
see the heart don't feel, Here's health

They clinked glasses and drank.

The sick man had Weakened suddenly,
and as he asked the question the clock
on the mantel began TO strike the hour.
