used to be known as the French touch
of black is the other.
In suits the black is applied In the
revived form of silk tailor braid. which

the ideal way OF introducing the neces-

SPRING APPETIZERs.

Why Is it that the housekeeper who

grapefruit and other fruit connections
sometimes. and occasionally oyster
cocktails. But she really makes very
little use of what might be a most
useful part of the daily dinner For
the appetizer really does give an edge
to the appetite, and hence it makes
what follows 1t more welcome. A poor
dinner can often be much improved by
a savory canape, which, by giving a
pleasant start to the meal. makes the
rest appear more tempting. And even
the best of dinners Will be the better
enjoyed and digested because it is pre-
ceded by a toothsome dainty in the |
form of an appetizer.
Canapes form an interesting and al
most endless variety Of appetizers. The
basis Tor canape is usually piece of |
toast-it may be a narrow strip. a cir |
Gle. crescent. or toast in any other |
shape. This is buttered, and on it is
placed some tempting morsel All the |
fish pastes can be used for canapes. +!
Spread the paste over the bit of hot
buttered toast. and then add a little
hard-boiled egg chopped fine or cut in
strips. tiny spray of parsley, slice
OF lemon or a stuffed olive as Il garnish. |
Good spring canapes can be made
with fresh vegetables. a delicious to-
mato canape is made by placing a slice
or ripe, red tomato on a circle of but
tered toast, and placing a teaspoonful
or thick mayonnaise in the center of
the tomato. Or minced cucumbers can
be mixed with mayonnaise and placed
on slices of tomatoes. A tiny bit of
brolled shad roe sprinkled with lemon
juice and melted butter can be placed
on strip Of buttered toast for a can
ape. Leftover fish can be rubbed to a |
paste and mixed with a little mayon-
na1se for this purpose. Peas and diced
picked beets can be used, with a little
boiled egg.
The cocktail class of appetizer is
better known to most housekeepers
than the canape class. And in summer
there are many fruit cocktails that ap-
peal to the appetite. When water

CHAPTER 4.
The ToWn.Crier,

The bell In the unseen chapel ceased
ringing as we came out on the cliffs of
Paradise. where, on the horizon, the
sun hung low, belted with a single
ribbon Of violet cloud.
Below the cliffs, on a crescent Of fiat
sand. from which sluggish. rosy rivu,
let's crawled seaward,' man stood
looking out across the water. And
the mayor stopped and called down to
him: "Ohe, the Lizard! want some.
body to drum and read proclamation.
Where's JacQueline?"
At this instant a young girl, a mere
child, appeared on the beach, dragging
a sea-rake over the ground behind her.
She was 1.-the creature, barelimbed
and ragged, with the sea-tan on throat
and knee. The girl caught sight Of
the mayor and gave him a laughing
greeting which he returned with a
shrug.
''If you want town-crier," she
called up. in deliciously fresh voice,
scarcely tinged with the accent, "IIl
cry your edicts and I'll drum for you.

The girl threw her rake into a boat
and leaped upon the rocks at the base
Of the cliff.
"Jacqueline! Don't come up that
way!" bawled the mayor. horrined.
Hey! Robert! Ohe!! Lizard! Stop
her or she'll break her neck"

the drum over her shoulder. turned to
