Helen could see no reason in the

anxious TO meet and know the girl.
Evidently this was the girl Ned was
engaged to- She had probably come on
for some spring clothes. Perhaps they

the suddenness Of Ned's appearance in
the restaurant had somewhat confused
her. and she was talking more TO have
something to say than for any other
reason
Not the Girl.
Ned came to the rescue quickly, and.
it must be said to his credit, extremely
''Oh. Helen. you're ali wrong" he ex-
claimed lightly. This isn't the girl
you mean at all. This is my new
oVerseer."
For minute Helen was embarrassed
but only for a minute After all II
was a ridiculous mistake to make
We'll ] was jumping TO conclusions
she laughed.
Mrs Curtis thought you were girl
from California" Ned was explaining
to Miss Warren. "a girl 1 have known
Helen smiled. If she remembered
right. Ned had told her that this girl
he had fallen in love with was from
the Middle west and that ne had met
her rather recently on a business trip.
Helen realized, too. that this Miss War
rem must be the woman Ned had en-
gagged to take the place he had offered
her Then there was 4 definite posi-
ton after all She would have that
much TO tell Warren after all
Wen. what have you been doing
with yourself2' Ned asked when he
had ordered lunch. And how's War

Helen laughed. 7 haven't talked II
over with him OF late, Ned, but how's
your business And how do you like
your position. Miss Warren" turning
TO the other woman
7 really haven't had IL long enough
to know" Miss Warren explained.
"Oh. excuse me q minute. viii you;
there's a girl over there I haven't
seen in ages" and with a smile she got
up hurriedly and rushed over TO a table
near by where she and another woman
kissed each other.
How 90 you like herr" Ned asked
quickly. Say Helen. I might as well
tell you that that story I made up
about the girl out west was a myth.
You're not cross are you? I know Il
wasn't the thing TO do. and It wasn't
square. but Warren II so Jealous. and
I did think you might be a sport ana
see what you could do as a business
woman"
Ned's explanstio given hurriedIy.
was not such a surprise to Helen after
all. She had suspected II all along, OF
course. but the thing that did hurt her
pride was the fact that this time she
was sure that Ned was interested in
another woman. The look in his eyes
told her that. and his quick question

Comparative Cost and j.
Food Value of Fifty
Different Foods

For the information of housewives
Who wish accurate information on rel
alive costs in planning economical
md at the same time nutritious meals,
he food administration has issued a
able showing the comparative cost
md food values of so foods.
Bread is taken as the standard OF
comparison, and the cost per pound
and the relative cost per hundred ca
lories of the other materials is shown.
The prices given are averages of those
in Is places throughout the country
on August |. The table shows that
Il articles are cheaper than bread on
the basis of calories obtained for the
money, two are of equal value and
So higher. Corn meal, notwithstand-
.ng its present high prices, continues
to give the most food value for the
money. Broiler chickens stand at the
foot of the list.
It would be impossible for fam
lily to keep in health if it were fed ex-
clusively on the foods in the lower
part of the table. Their advice is that
the housewife continue to prepare the
usual meal of varied diet, and utilize
this table as a guide in making COM
binations that will save money and
at the same time be nutritious. For
instance, canned tomatoes, compared
with bread, are very expensive food.
This should not lead to total elimina-
tion of tomatoes, but they should be
employed as continental peoples use
fhentr as havoring and garnishing
for such a food, say, as macaroni, near
the other end of the list

Washington, Dec. 22.-If you
serve the old-time Christmas dinner,
consisting of turkey, cranbetries,
goose and vegetables, you will make
a big hit with the United States food
administration. These are the very
things the administration wants the
American public to eat while they
conserve wheat, red meats, fats and
other needed war foods. <,..
incidentally, this Christmas falls on
meatless Tuesday-the day when no
red meats should be eaten.
War plum pudding, according to
the war economy cook book, issued
by the food administration, is made
this way:
"One cup dried bread crumbs, x
cup corn syrup, ! cup seeded raisins,
| cup currants, x cup finely cut cit.
ron, tablespoon candied lemon peel,
/ teaspoonful salt, a teaspoon Gin
anon, ID teaspoon cloves, "a teaspoon
ginger, ID cup fruit juice, cup flour.

enough cold water to make stiff

says:
Recent statements in he press

food administration has opposed
the use of cranberries and is ad-
vising the use of other fruits in
stead in making the Thanksgiving
and Christmas sauces. Such is not
the case. The food administration
is not urging the use of any other
fruit in preference to the cram
berry in making sauce or jelly. 1t
has suggested that as an emer-A
gency measure on account of the
pressure for sugar, preserves or
jellies that were put up during the
summer might be used in making
sauce now.
The food administration further
points out that corn syrup affords
a substitute for sugar in cooking
cranberries with only slight i'm
pairment of flavor. Two-thirds
sugar and one-third corn syrup
may be used for the jelly or a
slightly larger proportion of corn
syrup for the sauce.
