Some pretty big pieces there"
Then you chop it q little NOR,
while l wash the peppers"
Maggie took the chopping bow
rather sullenly. 1t was plain she d.,
not approve of this extra work on he
ironing day.
1t had been just a week since tn,
dinner at which Warren had been 81
enthusiastic about Mrs. Stevens

the recipe, he had scathingly remark
ed that as she had never made an.
pickle, it was not likely she coult
make any SO good as that
But Mrs. Stevens had sent the recipe
the next day, and now Helen will
anxious, painstaking care, was follow
ing it faithfully. She was making thi,
without Warren's knowledge, wanting
him to think when he tried it that i,
was part of the jar Mrs. Stevens haG
given them.
II he did not notice the difference
she would then triumphantly declare
1t was HER pickle. So while she
washed and chopped the tomatoes
cauliflower and peppers, she was hap
PLY planning this denouement.
HER RECIPE.
'Thatll do, Maggie, that's fine
enough. Now you'd better go to the
drug store for that turmeric. Wait

want" And once more Helen read
over the recipe.

toes, 1 quart of onions, l head of cauli-
flower. red peppers, green peppers,
! dozen small sweet gherkin pickles.
"Chope the tomatoes, onions, cauli-
flower, peppers and gerkins in small

over the pickle"
mo, that's all. just the turmeric;
we have everything else
1t was not until after Maggie had
gone that Helen realized the turmeric
was for the dressing, and they would
not need 1t until tomorrow.
Helen was now chopping the onions,
they were red onions and particularly
strong, and in a few minutes her eyes
were smarting and watery.
Let me chop that now, ma'am,"
said Maggie alphabetically, when
she came back from the drug store
and found Helen almost weeping over
he onions. Then red ones do make
your eyes smart"
Helen relinQuished the onions and
he black specks, the cores and threw
Then the cauliflower had to be
washed and cut up.
1t was noon before everything was
chopped and put to soak in a big

"Oh, there's such a lot Of it," ex-
claimed Helen. And isn't it pretty"
Is with a long spoon she stirred up
he red, green and white mixture.
How much do you think this'll
make, Maggie?"
1T boils down a 1ot-that won't
make more than three quarts.
HELEN is EAGER.
Helen covered the bowl and put it
lp on the pantry shelf. If only 1t did
lot have to soak over night! She
vas SO eager to see how it would turn
nut that it was hard to wait until
morning.
Several times during the afternoon
he went in to stir 1t up and taste it
entatively, but Of course it was only
aw and salty. and had no resemblance

would only be enough like hers so
hat Warren would not know the diff
The next morning as soon as Mag
lie was through with the breakfast

nd went to work
Maggie, do you think this is too
1uch to boil all at once?" as she took
own the large yellow bowl.
NO. ma'am, you can boil that all

While she was waiting for it to boil

"Oh, no. ma'am, there's plenty more |

When Helen had measured and dis

Maggie glanced disapprovingly at
