long talk with little wosran

me to write frankly upon her confess

en- who are inclined to be little un-
consciously dishonest will profit by
her bitter experience This IS the
story she tok me:

was there that wrestle with msthe-
MATES. So afraid was / of not grad
uating that began to employ many
devious methods OF cheating. Slips
of paper with the answers to ex-
amples were hidden in my sleeves
or my hair ribbons, or answers were
written on my handkerch;efs and
even in the palms of my hands. For
months passed the severest tests,
but finally I was caught by teacher
whom I had loved more than any
one else IN my class rooms

Boncd Leg OF Lamb With Dressing
and Gravy.
A reader of the Monitor has sent In
the following recipe for preparing
lamb
Purchase from the butcher = five
pound leg OF lamb. With a small
sharp knife remove the bone from tho
leg. This is very easily done by be-
ginning at the lower end and cutting
away the meat close to the bono. The
hone is not discarded but placed In
the pot with the leg to enrich the
Juice
Sprinkle inside Of leg with salt and
pepper and shape a. near ~ possible
in natural form: sew LID with needle
and heavy linen thread. Place in Q
pot the leg OF lamb. ono quart Of boil
ing water, and the bones. BOIL over
the gas for half an hour. put In the
fireless cooker and leave until tender,
or turn the gas flame low ana allow
to simmer until tender,
Remove to a drip-pan. rub the On
tire surface with butter and sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Make q dress
ing OF four cups OF bread crumbs. one
egg. one-half teaspoonful OF onion
salt, one teaspoonful Of poultry sea-
soning, two cups Of liquor from the
lamb, one-fourth cup OF currants; mix
we'll. place in the pan beside the lamb,
with a lump of butter on top. Roast
In hot oven until brown. This dress
ing requires very little cooking.
With the remaining liquor from the
lamb. make gravy. To each cup OF
hot liquor. add a tablespoonful OF
flour dissolved in one-half cup Of cold
milk; cook we'll. season ana serve with
the dressing and lamb. Garnish with
