Sauces

On no account should sauces be
thickened with enough cornstarch.
for instance, to become like custard
in texture. A cream sauce must
always be served hot and kept hot
to be at its best. Drowned flour
will be found the best to thicken sau-
ces and gravies with. Remember
that small quantities cool quickly, and
as the gravy is served it is wise to set
it back on the plate-warrner or over
hot water dish during the serving of
the course at which it is used, so that
the last helping may be as good as
the first and not CONCEALED or greasy
by being allowed to stand and cool:

~1our great desire will cost me my
son. Be it so. We breed men for the
world, we women, and we give them up.
Out of the agony Of our hearts we do
and must always give them up. That
is the price I must pay. But give you
up to the great hope, the great thing
Of your life. Should complain? Am
1 not your mother and therefore wo-
man? And she uld a woman complain
But, oh, Merne, Merne, my son, my
boy!"
She drew. his head back SO that she
could see deep into his eyes. Her dark
brows half frowning, she gaZed down
upon him, not SO much in tenderness as
in intentness. For the first time in
months-for the last time In his life
she kissed him on the forehead, and
then she let him go.
He rose now and, silently as he had
come, passed around the end Of the
wide gallery.
Her gaze did not follow him. She
sat still looking down the golden green
slope where the leaves were dropping
silently. She sat, her chin in her
hand, her elbows upon her knees, fac
ing that future, somber, but splendid,
to which she had devoted her son and
which in later years he so singularly
fulfilled
That was the time when the mother
of Meriwether Lewis gave him to his
fate-his fate, so closely linked with
yours and mine.
Soft is the sun in the summer sea
son at Washington, softer at times than
any old Dan Chaucer ever knew, but
again so ardent that any one who
would ride abroad would best do so in
the early morning. This Is true today,
and it was true when the capital city
lay in the heart Of a sweeping forest at
the edge of a yet unconquered morass.
The young man who now rode into
this forest, leaving behind him the open
streets OF the struggling city-then but
beginning to tighten under the rays Of
the morning sun-was one who evil
IDENTITY knew his Washington. He knew
his own mind as well, for he rode
steadily, as If with some definite pur-
pose, to soma definite point, looking
between his b.s5se's ears.

BY IDAH MGLONE GIBSON

The sun glinted through the win
dews of beautiful Burkecrest, Billie
Burke's home on the Hudson, and
seemed to rest with lingering fond
ness on the copper locks Of the
young mother bending over the bas-
sinet of F1orenz Patricia Burke-zieg-
field.
Billie Burke, glorified by mother
hood, made a charming picture as
she smiled at Florenz Patricia in the
madonna-like way every mother
looks at her child.
People get such queer IDEAS"
said Billie Burke, following my ques-
ton as to whether she would give up
the stage now.
'I am going back to the stage"
she said. cit is my work in which
I have been successful You would
hardly ask Mr.. Ziegfeld to give up
his work and settle down to nothing
but home and mother and baby just
because he is the father Of that de-
GciOus morsel there.
cit sounds appealing to say some
young woman has given up her life
ambition to raise family, but one
ought to get a little sense in this day
of feminism and understand a wom-
an can be a good mother and do 9TH
er work, too. Why, nfne-tenths of
the mothers in this country are do
ing their own hoUsework and caring
for big families at the same time.
However, it is all wrong to think
that the way to care for child
comes to a mother intuitively with
its birth. One might as well say one
could play violin if he loved it suf-
ficiently.
"Child bearing is a natural act
common to all female creation. Child
caring should be a profession to be
