SAVE BOTH TIME AND LABOR
Casserole Dishes Should Be Constant Iy In the Mind of the Housewife
 In the Summer.

The long list of casserole dishes are among the time and labor savers of the summer housewife. With every thing cooked in and served from the same dish, table service. as we'll as dishwashing, ts reduced to the mini mum, while even a commonplace prep aration is given a bit of elaboration by this process.
 In the same practical category be- longs the attractive serving of an oc- casional planked dish, surrounded by an alternating variety of vegetables. While in reality the meat or fish so served may have been broiled in the regulation way, it gains much in ap- pearance if served in imitation of planked dish, occupying the center of large platter with the vegetables as a border Mounds of mashed potato or boiled rice alternating with mounds of some fresh vegetable. arc quite sufficient. although more va riety is easily possible. Vegetables served in this way make an attractive garnish, at the same time lessening the number of dishes required on the table.

name Chong Wah Tong, thinking of the investigation which the coroner had asked him to make into the mur. der He and Long Sin moved few steps away, discussing the affair.
 Elaine and I were still talking over the entertainment
 She happened to place her hand on the desk near Long Sin. My back was | toward him and l did not see him start l suddenly and look at her hand. On it | was the ring-the ring which, un- 1 known to us, Long Sin had found in l the passageway under Aunt Tabby's | garden, of which he had been robbed.
 Long Sin decided to recover the ring 1 by stealth.
 Elaine was still talking enthusias- tically about her party, when Long Sin turned from Kennedy and moved to- ward us with a bow
 The lady speaks of an Oriental re- ception," he remarked. Would she care to engage a magician"
 Elaine turned to him surprised. Do you mean that you are magician" she asked, puzzled.
 Long Sin smiled quietly He reached over and took a small bottle from Ken nedy's laboratory table. Holding it in his hand almost directly before us, he made a few slight-of-hand passes and, prestol the bottle had disappeared A few more passes, and test tube ap- peared in it's place. Before we knew it he had caused the test tube to disap- pear and the bottle to reappear. We all applauded enthusiastically.
 T don't think that is such a bad idea after all" nodded Kennedy to Elaine.
 It was the night of the reception. The Dodge library was transformed. The Oriental hangings which Elaine and Kennedy had purchased seemed to breathe mysticism. At the far end of the room a platform had been ar ranged to form a stage on which Long Sin was to perform his sleight of hand.
 Almost everybody had arrived when Elaine turned to the guests and intro duced Long Sin with a little speech.
 shall not attempt to describe the amazing series of tricks which he per formed His hands and fingers seemed to move like lighting.
 He had finished and every one crowded about him to congratulate him on his skill. His only answer, however. was his inscrutable smile.
 This is wonderful, wonderful, I repeated as I happened to meet Elaine alone. We walked into the conserya- tory while the guests were crowding around Long Sin. She seated herself for the first time during the evening.
 May l get you an ice?' 1 suggested.
 She thanked me. and l hurried off. AS l passed through the drawing room I did not notice that Long Sin had managed to escape further congratu-

an ice from the waiter and was going in the direction of the conservatory There he found her.
 Wont you take this ice?" he asked handing 1t to her
 Tt is very kind of you," she said but I have already sent Walter fol one."
 Kennedy insisted and she took it.
 She had already started to eat it when l appeared in the doorway.
 Kennedy laughed, rather pleased at having beaten me.
 Never mind, Walter" he said with a smile, "Ill take it. And er-I don't think that Elaine will object if you play the host for a little while with Aunt Josephine" he hinted.
 Kennedy. however, was not alone. Back in the palms in the conservatory two beady black eyes were eagerly watching
 Chatting with animation, Kennedy tasted the ice. He had taken only a couple of spoonfuls when a look of wonder and horror seemed to spread over his face.
 He rose quickly. A cold sweat seemed to break out all over him. His nerves almost refused to respond.
 He took only a few steps, began to stagger, and finally sank down on the floor.
 Elaine screamed.
 We rushed in from the library and drawing room.
 He had fallen near the fountain and one hand dropped over into the water. As he fell back he seemed to have only just enough strength to withdraw his hand from the fountain. On the stone coping, slowly and laboriously. he moved his finger.
 Whats the matter, old man " asked, bending over him.
 There was no answer, but he man. aged to turn his head, and l followed the direction of his eyes.
 With trembling finger he was trac- ing out, one by one, some letters. l looked and it flashed over me what he meant He had written with the water:

 I jumped up and almost without a word dashed out of the conservatory, down the hall and into the first car waiting outside.

 Fortunately there was no one to stop us. and I know we broke all the speed laws of New York 1 dashed into the laboratory, almost broke open the cabinet, and seized the bot tie of digitalin and a hypodermic syringe. then rushed madly out again and into the car
 Meanwhile some of the guests had lifted up Kennedy, too excited to mo- tice Long Sin in his hiding place They had laid Craig down on couch

SAVING TIME IN KITCHEN
Small Things About Which House wives May Not Have Thought, but
 Which Count for Much.

Time saving is one of the chief prob lems of the busy woman. and it con- cerns especially the housewife who does her own cooking or has only one maid
 Here, for example. is how one woman saves time: When she makes nie crust she makes double the quan- tity needed at the moment, as pie crust rolled in damp napkin and put in the refrigerator will keep perfectly for several days. Then she plans in the menus for the next few days to use that crust A dessert or fruit tart for the first night, turnovers for luncheon the following day, and if any crust remains 1t can be used In des- serts, meat battles or cheese straws. By using the pastry in such a va riety of ways she avoids the impress sion of sameness, yet manages to tighten materially her work of prepar- ation.
 Filling the ice box with scraps of leftover food is waste of room-and usually of food but this woman solves very neatly the problem or left- overs' She never allows an accumu- lation; nevertheless, every scrap is used. For example, if there are few string bsans or boiled potatoes left from dinner they are immediately sliced into small dice-shaped pieces and put away in bowl to be used for a vegetable salad at tomorrowss luncheon. Scraps of meat too small to be used in other ways are put through the meat chopper, and go to make sandwiches for tea.
 Every dish that comes off the table is promptly attended to- If 1t be available for future use 1t Is put away in convenient form; if not available it is thrown away immediately. By this means the ice box is kept neat and clean, there Is no waste by spoil ing, and much time is saved.

It is then placed i3 a saucepan. cov- cred tightly, and set over a brisk fire to boil quickly This rapid boiling is kept up until most of the water is absorbed, the cover being kept on, and the water allowed to run over it's sides, after which the saucepan i3 moved to the back of the stove and the rice allowed to cook slowly until perfectly dry.

To Fillet a Fish.

Remove the dark skin; cut down the backbone and slip the knife under the flesh, keeping close to the bone, till the fins are reached. Cut fllet off of each side. turn the fish over and cut two more fillets off the other side. A. good-sized fiat fish will give four fl- lets. Smaller fish that are not fat should be divided into two fillets only. Weakfish, founder, salmon, whiting, herring, mackerel. haddock and any of the larger fishes that have not too many small bones are excellent sub jects for fillet.

Their tribal wars. eannibalism. head-hunting and infanticide must also be added to the totals as causes of extermination. but even these have not nearly been so destructive as the white mans pernicious influence.

 moment later Long Sin himself took an ice from the tray and retreat ed back of the portieres. No one was about, and he hastily drew a bottle from his pocket. On the bottle was a Chinese label He palmed the bottle, and anyone who had chanced to see him would have noticed that he passed it two or three times over the ice, then, lifting the portieres, entered the draw ing room again.
 He had made the circuit of the rooms in such a way as to bring him self out directly in my path. With a smile he stopped before me, rubbing both hands together.
 Tt is for Miss Elaine?" he asked.
 I nodded.
 By this time several of the guests who were fascinated with Long Sin gathered about us. Long Sin futtered open Chinese fan which he had used in his tricks passed it over my hand, and in some incomprehensible way felt the plate with the ice literally dis appear from my grasp. My face must have shown my surprise. A burst of laughter from the other guests greeted me. I looked at Long Sin, half angry, yet unable to say anything. for the joke was plainly on me. He smiled. made another pass with the fan, and instantly the plate with the ice was back in my hand.
 Meanwhile Kennedy had been nov ing from one to another of the guests seeking Elaine. He had already taken

 I scarcely waited for the car to stop in front of the house. l opened the door and rushed in.
 Without a word I thrust the anti dote and the syringe into the hands of the doctor and he went to work immediately. We watched with anx- iety. Finally Kennedy's eyes opened and gradually his breathing seemed to become more normal.
 The antidote had been given in time.
 
 Kennedy was considerably broken up by the narrow escape which he had had, and, naturally, even the next morning, did not feel like himself.
 In the excitement of leaving Elaine's we had forgotten the bottle of digitalin.
 Kennedy looked rather wan and peaked, but insisted on going to the laboratory as usual.
 Do you remember what became of the bottle of digitalin 2" he asked, fumbling in the closet
