Two questions were left with the
presidents for consideration through

of changing the date of the annual

and of selecting some permanent

The Book ofDeboroh
By JANE LORUfER

Mother had accepted his pleasant

had played cribbage-which she
hated-with the wise smile of Mona
Lisa. The only time her wisdom
ever took shape was in this little
speech to me / had spoken
to her of my trouble with Bob, but
she must have guessed a good deal
for she kissed me when she said:
Dear child, a man doesn't al
ways value a woman for what she
has given him. He values her for
what he expects to get!"
I hadn't understood mother at the
time, but as my separation from
Bob widened, / perceived that she
had framed a classic truth.
I could see hat Daddy Lorimer
certainly expected to get a lot from
mother. He was feeling pretty
rocky most of the time and so,
once more, his wife had become
valuable to him. Knowing her in

was happy to finance any undertake

Perhaps the story of Deborah's

ave taken so great a hold upon me
Is my interest in my husband and
MY home had been in happy equi-
hbrium. The time I gave to consid-
ering poor Deb's troubles was for
tunstely subtracted from time to
worry about my own.
Deb's latest plan to think of Jim
as one who had died sounded superb
to me. but it didn't help mel

active and as irritable as Bob, and
/ couldn't see that it was working
much better, for Deb than for me.
OF course Deb couldn't live in the

hearing the news about him. In
October she was constantly at the
big Lorimer mansion where she
heard the hourly bulletins from the
invalid to his mother.
Deb was pledged to help Chrys
In her political work. 1 had tried
to spoil the plan for Deb's peace of
mind. but Chrys wouldn't let Deb
go. Chrys said that Deb was inval-
liable as an office manager.
The Office which Chrys needed
managed was in her fathers house.
Getting out the woman's vote was

Many Of the fancy dishes prepared
BY hotel chefs are nothing more or
less than custards, timbales, or souf-
les, "dressed up" in fancy style. Once
one has mastered the plain recipes the
variations are easily added. The tables
In this article are for the plain pat
tern or foundation recipes with some
Of the possible variations.
The most important ingredient in q
custard, timbale. or souffie is eggs. In
addition to their high food value. eggs
have certain properties that make
them valuable In cookery. Their thick
ening power is shown in a plain cus-
tard or cooked salad dressing where,
when cooked with liquid, they act
as thickening agent. When beaten
they have the power Of holding large
quantities Of air and hence are used
to give lightness to certain cooked
dishes; the souf1ie and omelet as we'll
as the sponge cake make use Of this
property.
A plain custard is no more than
milk thickened with egg. To this may
be added sugar and various favorings
for a dessert and cheese or meat for a
hearty dish.
The general method of mixing Gus
tard is to beat the eggs slightly and
add hot milk with other ingredients.

with any one In the whole city with

but to wait until heard from him.
Fortunately had had the fore

resting me to take from its hiding
place in the bookcase my little hoard
of money. This enabled me to send

brought in. Making myself as COM
Portable as possible. I sat down to wait
for German. occupying my mind mean
while with thinking of Barbara Brad

| The thing uppermost in my mind
was how to prevent her from being in
any way involved. She must never
know that only by her testimony would
I be able to prove an alibi. Should
she ever realize this, knew that her
sense Of justice would make her come
forward and tell the truth. even
though 1t meant the loss Of her own
reputation and the scandalizing Of all
her acquaintances. She must not be

She must not even try to see me
while l was in prison.
The one way-the only way-I saw
by which could escape from the laws
tolls without duplicating her was
through the speedy rounding up Of the
band Of criminals who I was positive
were responsible for Miss Lutan's
murder as well as for all our troubles.
