CHAPTER UJ,


The three dinner guests entered
together. Lsssingham in the middle.
Sir Henry's presence was obvious
y a surprise to all Of them.
"No idea that you were back,
sir" Harrison observed, shaking
hands
Sir Henry greeted them all good
humoredly.
"I turned up about three-quarters
of an hour ago. he explained. Just
too late to Join you at dinner
Bad luck, sir" Sinclair re-
marked. Il hope that you had good
sport?'
mot so BAD Sir Henry admitted.
1--WE had to 90 far enough for II,
though. What do you think OF
that for an October codling?"
They all approached the scales
and admired the ish. Sir Henry
stood with his hands in his pockets.
listening to their comments.
"You arc enjoying your stay here,
I hope, Mr.. Lsssingham: he in
quired.
"One could scarcely fail to enjoy
even the briefest holiday in so de-
liEhtfuuy hospitabls a place. was
the somewhat measured reuly.
You're by way of being a fisher
man yourself, 1 hear?" Sir Henry
continued.
"In very small way" LessinE-
ham acknowledged. 'I have been
out once or twice"
with Ben Oates, chr
y believe that was the mans
name"
Philippa glanced up from her
work with a little exclamation Of
surprise. -1

"TTn afraid he didn't show you
much sport" Sir Henry observed
From what Jimmy Dumbls's
brother told him, he seems to have
taken you in entirely the wrong
direction. and on the wrong tide"
I'VE had a small catch" LessinE-
ham replied. "I really went more
for the sail than for the sport, so
was not disappointed"
''The coast itself" Sir Henry re-
marked, sis rather an interesting
one"
II should imagine So" Lessins-
ham assented. ''NIr. Ben Oates.
indeed, told me some wonderful
stories about it. He spoke Of
broad channels down which a dread
nought could approach within a
hundred yards OF the land"
He is quite right, too" his host
agreed. There's a lot OF deep water
about here. The whole Of the coast
IS very curious in that way. What
thc-what the dickens is this-"'
Sir Henry, who had been strollinE
about the room. picked up a HON.
burg hat from the far side of a table
OF curios. Philippa glanced up at
his exclamation.
That's Nora's trophy" she ex-
planned. IT tsld her to take 10 "

Morals trophy?" Sir Henry re-
pestsd. ''Why, it's nothing but an
ordinary mans hat"
Nevertheless, it's a very Travelled
one. sir" Harrison pointed out
Niles Nora picked IL up on Dutch
mans common. the morning after
the observation car was found
there"
Sir Henry held out the hat
But Nora doesn't seriously sup-
pose that the Germans come over

or a trine over a yard and three-quar-

fall and winter skirt width, although
some are not more than a yard and a

naturally, must be usually more than

The skirt fastens at one side.
Navy satin Is to be one of the most
used fabrics In fall separate skirts, and
silk popiin Is also listed as a popular
fabric. Deep silk fringe is one Of the
favortte trimmings, and 1t is used to

Navy serge and navy satin are be-

Nourishing Salads.

We do not usually look for nourish-
ment in salads.
Suffice It that they provide . tang Of
flavor. a touch Of color, an element
that whets ana satisfies tho appetite,
to the meal.
But now that we are all Hooverizing
our menus. We are looking to the salad
nourishing as an interesting part of
luncheon. often. too. as tho mainstay
Of that meal. And we have found that
there are many and delicious salads
that provide an appreciable proper
tion of nourishment. while at the same
time they are pretty to look upon, are
Iul! OF davor, and have the same ap-
petfzing qualities as the daintiest
lettuce heart dressed with Russian
dressing.
Pot cheese may be used for many of
these salads One is made by skinning
ripe tomato, scoring 1t twice, cross
wise. from top almost to bottom, at
right angles. SO that 1t is almost sep
arated into quarters, and pushing
q big bit Of pot cheese in each of the
clefts. Serve with French dressing.
Another is made by using medium
sized stalks OF tender celery, and
rounding them up with pot cheese and
Evening star., 1918-07-09

sprinkling It either with chopped pi,
mento, chopped peanuts or chopped
parsley. Then out the celery in hali-
Inch lengths and serve on lettuce, with
mayonnaise or French dressing.
Egg salad is another nourishing ono.
The eggs may be boiled and sliced, or
boiled, halved and deviled. and served
with mayonnaise on lettuce leaves.
Potato salad in any form answers the
requirements. A little chopped celery
or green or red pepper or cucumber
added flavor.
Bean salad Of any sort Of dried beans
is also good. with enough fresh vege,
tables-parsley minced. or chopped
pepper-to give flavor.
And rice salad has attained . posi-
ton of importance-boiled rice mixed
with celery or with chopped egg or
else used as a stuffing for chilled to-
rnatoes and served with mayonnaise.

For the
M:eatless Days

You wouldn't think you could do
much with some leftover vege-
tables: potatoes, beets, carrots, corn,
beans or onions. But here's what l
did with them the other Tuesday
when MIR. Hoover said mo meat"
IA made vegetable eroquettes, and
Jim said he was going to be a vege-
tartan for life. l chopped the vege-
tables into small cubes, seasoned
with sage, salt and pepper, and made
a glorious thick cream sauce, to
which added two tablespoonful of
AL Sauce. ! poured this over the
vegetables, nodded them into cro-
quettes, and fried them in very hot
butter substitute. Oh, that AL
Sauce! Its piquant flavor, SO diff
ferent from anything else, pulled
those croquettes up into the class
where the French chefs live!

Garabed, the device that was
supposed to use free en-
ergy. has been pronounced
a failure.
Perhaps it is and perhaps it
isn't.
The telephone, tel egraph,
steam engine, aeroplane,
etc, were all called failures
when they first appeared.
We can recall how the Wright
y brothers out in Dayton
were laughed at when they
said they would fly in a
heavier-than-air mach e.
Now, not one but fifteen
and twenty men fly in
such machines and at a
rate of almost 200 miles per
hour.
Let's not be too hasty in our
Judgment of things which
do not exactly conform to
our way of thinking.
Even if the present Garabed
does not work, it has start
ed a new line of thought
and one of these days some
one will produce an engine
or whatever you wish to
call it-that will utilize
Free Energy.

what to do with the ornamental lamp
shades in her household that she was

der that the general public may I'M

following explanation, and leave the
matter for the citizens and taxpayers
to judge for themselves:
There are only few large firms in
the county who are able to bid on
and supply the county. If any one
win scrutinize our monthly published
bills, they will see that the business is
distributed among all the merchants
aid in every instance where quality
and prices are equal we give the
farmers preference. AS every one
knows, the average farmer is not able
to compete in competitive bids, and if
we should follow the grand jury's rec

be debarred. We buy hay, grain, sy
rup, meat and all the farm produce
that we can use from the farmers.
