UNFINISHED STORY CONTEST
ARTISTS CONTEST

who was to get our tea at five, and
who was to get the birthday dinner to-
night? All this was n mystery to US.
Uncle Fred had called at the en-
ployment office the day before and was
told that he could not obtain a cook
for five days. This was a great calam-
ity, for we had invited all the guests
and the party was to be tonight. /
could cook well enough for our every
day meals, but for a party
1t was half past three when Aunt
Mildred. Jessie and l, all enveloped
in great gingham aprons, went into
the kitchen.
There was the cake to be made. I
could make the batter but l didn't
know when it was done. Jessie knew
how to make the icing.
"Why not ask Mrs. Drem to come
in and help?" said Aunt Mildred.
Just the thing. I ran out to the
back fence and called her. Mrs. Drem
knew when the cake was done. SO
the cake was made. One layer, the
pink one. was spoiled.
Aunt Mildred could make the salad
and Mrs. Drem made beautiful plat
ter of sandwiches.
There was a French dish to make.
l can't pronounce it. We had the di-
rections for it, but how it would come
out we did not know. Well, with
Mrs. Drem's help-we made it but when
we tasted it we found that instead of
putting in sugar Jessie had put in one

my father is over there sharpening the

You ought to have seen them run.
NV father saw them running back,
so he ran to the road with the butcher
knife in his hand. He shook the knife
at them. meaning for them to come
back, but when they saw this the fast
er they ran. Then my father came in.
1 said to him:
"Ain't they funny people? AS soon
as they saw me they ran back. They

COOK is GREATLY AMUSED

Dear Aunt Laurie:
It was a sad day when my COOK lett
and the first dinner was not a very
appetizing meal. There were scorched
potatoes, salty meat, a cake hard as d
rock which l threw at my neighbors
chickens. While my potatoes We're
cooking l thought / might as we'll visit
NV neighbor next door, who is a very
talkative person, like myself so you
can imagine me forgetting.
I was without cook for a week.
While I was sitting lost in converse
tion | began to awake to the fact that
I was without a cook l went home
not thinking how long l had stayed ana
when | got in the house | was dunn
founded to find the potatoes burnt to
crisp. but | ridn't lose courage and
started frying my meat. 1 took the
salt shaker and began seasoning it.
The cork fell out and all the salt with
il. I was so discouraged that l SAT
down and cried, but finding that did
not feed me | got up and baked cake,
hoping that it would not prove fall
ure When it was done, to my ,dismay
if was hard as adobe. l threw the
dinner away and Iiled my dishes in
water to soak. In a short time l
was in the restaurant, but this could
not be kept up. | made up my mlnd
to fast for week.
When cook came home l told her OF
NV luck in cooking. She laughed till
her sides ached But my, l was glad
when cook came pack.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Mamma received telegram one day
that her brother was ill. She and
Aunt Grace left at once to see him.
stayed home with the cook and my
friend. Dorothy. Papa told me that
morning that he would not be home for
lunch, but wanted an early supper:
Mary, the cook, took advantage OF
mammals trip and said that she was
going on a weeks vacation.
This was certainly disgusting. But
she insisted on going. Dorothy sara
she knew how to do some cooking. 50
we at once set to work looking in
the cook books. At last 1 found
recipe for lemon pudding. Wo soon
were getting the materials.
All at once Dorothy called out,
'"There isn't enough cornstareh, ana
1 need another spoonful"
I said perhaps there might be some
in the storeroom. She Immediately
went to the storeroom, returning with
a small package in her hand.
At wonder if this won't do? It's
marked elastic starch, but looks ever
so much like it, 1t isn't the same,
but it will do. There isn't anything
else: we may as we'll use it," So she
poured tablespoonful in the milk.
There" said Dorothy, with an air
of relief, that's done, all but watch
ing it,"
Just then the bell rang and I ran
to answer it. man had come to see
my aunt, so I stopped to talk to him.
When papa came home he found the
front of the house deserted. So he
made his way to the kitchen. AS he
opened the door he was met by cloud
of dense blush white smoke, and
he could see through the thick air not
the usual cook, but two small figures
hurrVing to and fro.
Dorothy and I did the cooking the
rest of the week and we had many ex-
periences, such as putting salt in the
place of sugar. When the week was
over we were very glad. I assure you,

BURNS RICE IN NEW KETTLE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Beulah got her vacation, mamma
went out and I reigned over the
kitchen. It was near dinner, SO I had
to get it. I decided it was to be rice,
nv favorite, therefore I boiled it. then
I went to the store for milk. Coming
back. met a friend and we had our
good old fashioned talks. SO for an
hour my rice was browning burning
scorching, etc. hurried home and our
new pot, the pride of the cook, was
burned and all the rice was gone.
Something had to be done, so off I ran
for eggs. 1 couldn't get them. so
cudgeled my brains for something for
dinner Then ] remembered my COOK
book. I seized it like ravenous dog.
I decided to make carrots with white
sauce. I quickly pared the carrots and
boiled them.
Did we have butter? Yes.
I made the sauce. SO far so good.
Beulah always says that she never
goes according to the cook book. but
to her taste, until satisfactory. There

and drew them out so quickly that

So we had no carrots for dinner

Then my friend called TO whom / now
laid my troubles. She bounded in with
saying
''I know what to have for dinner"
I quickly got up from the floor
where I was sitting and gave her
good hug.
Lets make biscuits and tea," was
the advice given.
1 can't tell you the whole process,
but it ended in a little brown trifie.

Jimmy made a wry face, Jack excused
himself and papa left his to tell
story.

began, who tried to cook dinner and
at the same time to please her brothers,
which IS impossible. Therefore, her
father decided to send home the cook
and let the little girl go in her stead"

purpose, thanks to Mrs. Drem.
