FAvoRiTE FOOD
Well, I got through my first din
ncr ut our apartment. but at one
time I thought would not.
Annie said TO me: Sure ] can't
understand what you want TO make
ye're face all red and blister we're
pretty hands for when could be
doing the cooking. A bit OF fried
steak is not hard 10 do and lsbaked
potatoes in the peat fire before ye
were born. Miss Margaret"
Il want 20 show Dick ! know my
business" I said with laugh. for !
could see she was q little sensitive
about her cooking.
Aunt Mary made the pie and then
made her stay out OF the kitchen
for did not want her TO get all
tired out
The table was set with all our
prettlest wedding presents and
Aunt Mary's beautiful china-even
Ellene's table could not look more
charming than did mine. was so
happy over II that I could have
kissed each plate as helped Annie
set the table.
burned n part OF my eyebrows
off by turning on the gas in the
oven a minute or two before ! light
cd II. Both Aunt Mary and Annie
were much frightened at the ex-
plosion, but I persuaded them II was
nothing. although my face was very
red and smarted under the powder
all through dinner.
Everything was ready at 6 O'Clock
and I was all dressed and waiting
for Dick. Annie had instructions to
put the steak under the blaze the
moment she heard the doorbell.
When I opened the door there
was Jim Edie with Dick.
II told Dick" he said. that II was
not an suspicious time for me 10
make my first visit. but he said he

she undertook. and so I came along
Just to show You how much conf
dence your husband has In your
ability"
I'm glad you came, jim" I said
heartily and then. although I want
ed to rush out into the kitchen to
see TO the steak, stayed and
talked on like an untroubled
hostess. II was q good thing that
did not stop to chat very long,
for II was Just blazing up. An
ME had turned the gas on full force.
put the meat under and left II.
Item: To broil steak properly
you must have hot fire and keep
turning the meat over and over. You
can't put It In and not watch It.
The dinner was great success
Dick gave In and said the steak
was perfect.
I'VE can't have II very Often
said. because II Is too expensive"
Now ! hope you are not going
to try and feed me on stews and
things" said Dick as he took a sec.
ond generous helping of steak.
IT they are as delightfully."- pre-.
pared as is this meat I'll try and
get as many invitations as posi-
BILE to eat them" said Jim Eddie
tactfully.

asked.
mo. Aunt Mary made that" /
answered. but watched her and
| am going TO make the next one"
Almost you persuadeth me TO
marry. Margie," said Jim, as he
lighted his cigar and slipped his
coffee in the living room.
Il am afraid you don't want
wife, jim; you are after a cook"
said Dick complacently.
Dick has been able to find both
In one sweet woman" he said
rather sentimentally as he bent
over me while I was fixing a rec.
ord on the victrola.
In the mind Of man even the
wife of his best friend is always
a target for a bit Of filtration.
