Extra rabIeIeav

new use for extra table leaver has
been discovered By some ingenious house
wife. Everyone knows what trouble Il
II is TO dispose OF these leaves, which are
too large TO At into a closet comfortably,
and too necessary to send to storage.
mis- woman used her extra table leaves
for a serving table. She didn't fasten
them down in any way, so that when she
needed them, they could be removed with
out any trouble. She had a carpenter
make the rack TO hold the boards. This
was large enough to accommodate two
boards. One rested across the top, and
one across the bottom, making two
shelves The rack itself was made OF
strips OF wood about an inch and a half
square, and was about three feet high.
Each of the two uprights were held to-
gether two inches from the top, and two
inches from the bottom by strips of wood
the width OF the extra leaves
The legs thus formed were connected by
four long strips about two Inches shorter
than the leaves, nailed two on each side
near tho top, and bottom. This made a
long, four-legged rack, with bars upon
the top and bottom for the extra leaves
to rest on, one leaf forming the top, and
one the lower shelf OF course, the rack
had to be stained the same color as the
leaves, and polished so that you could
never tell the difference between this and
a real serving table
Dishes, silverware and numerous other
things were kept on the lower shelf, and
the whole thing was very useful. 1t
really isn't so complicated as 1t sounds,
and will cost very little II you have a
carpenter to do the bit of work, as it

THAT CHEAPER CUT OF MEAT
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
e NEW HOUSEKEEPING"

1t would seem that the last word had
been said on cheaper cuts of meat. But
the increase of hoof and mouth disease
in many sections and the consequent in
crease in price makes the meat prob
lem still as tough (no punD as ever.
What are the much-maligned and
equally much praised cuts called
cheaper? To know this we must
know the architecture of the animal in
question. First, the most tender pieces
are the less exposed parts of the animal.
Whatever portions are subjected to
muscular exercise (thus the loin) are
tougher because the muscles have been
used more. This does not mean that
there is not as much nourishment In
tough muscles as in tender ones. The
cheaper cuts have tougher fibres and
the whole problem is to prepare and
soften the fibres, and thus put them on
par with more tender parts. The mus
cles of the abdomen are also tender, but
give very coarse grained meat
The structure of the muscle fibre must
be studied in order to apply the best
methods of cooking. Each fibre is like q
thin section of orange, being surrounded
with a firm tissue and containing Juice
within. If we cut the fibre across the
juice will escape. If we heat the fibre in
a high temperature we will harden it
still more and prevent the escape of the
juices. II we cut it and soak it in water
the juices again will escape. But If we
pour scalding water or liquid on the fibre

Yes" answered Erleigh in choking
voice. "Guy-has disappeared"
'Guy-has disappeared?' queried Lord
! Arthur. Great Scott! man, what are Won
doing here? Why aren't you doing any
thing to find him? Merciful heavens, this
Is awful-what have you done-when did
this happen-how long ago?'
He spoke thickly, angrily, like a man
who had no longer control of himself.
The veins stood out on his forehead; his
hands were clenched. If he had done
what he felt like doing at that particular
moment he would have struck John Err
leigh in the face.
II came here to make Inquiries" Err
leigh replied
BY heavens, II the boy has been kid
napped-if any harm comes to him, I'll
ruin you-yes, you and your accursed
school,
There 10 no need to talk like that,
Lord Arthur. We must all work to-
gether and put things straight. Nothing
is to be gained by losing your temper"
What have you done? Where is Yer
tigan?"
''Vertigan was talking to me in my
study, when the captain of the house
came to me and said that wimberly was
not at supper. Vertigan's movements
have been accounted for-for the last u
hours"
Have you been to the police"
'No-I thought I wouldn't do that until
had tried everything else &C.,
We'll, we'd better go there now-I
ought to have gone to them long ago-I
blame myself for that-but now-we can't
keep the thing from Lady Wimberley's
ears any longer. The car is still outside.
You'd better come along with me at once.
Do you want to ask the station master
any more questions?"
'No-he has made all inquiries-Guy has
not been to the station-of course, It
wasn't likely they'd bring him here, but
I thought 1t best TO leave no stone un-
turned. They're wiring all down the
line. to London. I've given out that
the boy has run away"
Let us go to the police station" said
Lord Arthur. Then the car can go on
to Monksilver and bring down Denham.
Come along
They seated themselves In the car, and
when Lord Arthur had given instructions
to the chauffeur he turned to Erleigh.
'"rell me all you know" he said curtly.
mo, you can leave out the details. You'll
have to give them to the inspector. Give
me rough outline of what has hap
pened."
Supper is at quarter to nine" said Err,

Modish Footgear

This is the time of year when the care
full woman looks to her carriage boots
No woman can afford to brave the chilly
winds with silk-clad ankles. unless she
has provided herself with this most
necessary attribute to her comfort
The fashionable boot shops show STUNNING
new models in footgear. especially In
soft, furry carriage boots. One pair seen
recently was a reflection of the popuiar
crazo for velvet. They could be had IN
all shades, and there certainly was variety
enough to match any gown. The Romeo
shaped top was trimmed with dainty
white swansdown. and an arrangement
could be made to have Miladys monogram
done In lovely hand embroidery on The
ankle.
Another style of evening slipper is hsra
although one would hardly think thai
there were any more. This particular
slipper is made OF gold brocaded mateFial.
with trimmings OF antique gold buckles
The straps over the ankle have evidently
been found wanting when It comes 70

element of the strenuous fox-trot g

heel still remains. and II looks particular

1t will have much the same effect a. hsa,.
ing the fibre rapidly to high point.
Now the ideal in handling all cheap,,
cuts is first to harden the fibre either N

quiries-one of them is on a motor-bicycle,
the other two on foot"
You say Vertigan was with you when
you got the news?"
Yes"
Ibid he seem surprised7"
Yes, and very angry"
What did he say7
, HE said that your nephew was a
young scamp, that II would be better for
the discipline of the school If he left"
Lord Arthur laughed heartily.
WAS Vertigan one of the masters you
sent out?" he said
"No-of course not"
'Did you accuse him of having any
thing to do with the boys disappear
ance?"
Erleigh did not answer
/Come," said Lord Arthur sharply.
"did you. or did you not?"
'I did not. 1 thought It best to wait
until we had some sort of proof"
Perhaps you are right"
The car stopped outside the police
station.
do you intend to say anything about
Vertigan?" asked Erleigh.
Yes, The police must know all the
facts"
"The facts-but Lord Arthur-nothing
is known against Vertigan-you had bet

Meriet may bring an action for libel
don't you think"
II tell you what I do think. Erleigh,"
Lord Arthur interrupted sharply, land
that is that you're trying for some reason
OF other to shield this fellow. I suppose
you're thinking of the reputation OF the
school-of your own position-after had
warned you. But the whole business has
got to come out"
II think at present-you'd better con-
fine yourself to facts. Lord Arthur The
thing is to find the boy"
Lord Arthur opened the door OF the car
and alighted. John Erleigh followed him
