serves them hot, with either poul-
try or meat, just as she does her
vegetables, and they are certainly
delicious eating, as we'll as
novelty to American palates.
In menu No. 8 the dessert has
been purposely omitted, as the
salad Is so hearty in character that,
served with crisp hot rolls, it will
hardly be missed. In fact, when
fruit compete and salad course
enter into the composition of
meal any dessert seems super
fiuous, but, knowing the fondness
of most Americans for "sweet"
finish for the evening dinner, they
have been added for the other
menus.
In arranging the budgets FOR the
different dinners, both the suuabs
and pigeons are figured at the
prices already given and the other
supplies at an average market
price. The service is for four per-
sons and although the portions al
lowed are ample, no left-overs are
planned for. Any of the dinner
menus will make splendid "com-
pany meal" and the cost of each is
fairly reasonable.
In regard to the service of the
salads, for the stuffed tomato
variety, peel, scoop out the center
from each, sprinkle with salt and
lnvert on the ice to chill. Fill with
equal parts of chopped celery and
peeled radishes and add a bit of
minced scallions and cress. Moisten
with boiled dressing. Set in
nests of cress and place three
cooked tips of asparagus upstand-
ing In the top Of each tomato.
The aspic jelly salad is very
tempting with bits of cooked and
fresh vegetables nodded in it. The
foundation of the jelly is made by
cooking two cupfuls of water with
diced carrot, two slices of onion
stuck with two cloves, d table
spoonful of chopped parsley and
two or three stalks Of chopped

this rule being the corn fritters
served in menu No. s, which go so
well with the panned squads.
Squads may be prepared in al
most all the ways in which young
broilers are, and as they are more
meaty as a rule, even at the same
price as chickens they are better
buy. Their price is about the
same as chickens-about 60 cents
pound, while the more plebeian
pigeons can be bought at many of
the markets for 45 cents. These
are for the best grade of birds.
Suitable Accomplishments
In serving these spring delica-
cies for the family table, delicious
compote and crisp vegetable salad
should accompany them; and for
the former almost any of the fresh
seasonable fruits, as we'll as dried
apricots, peaches and prunes can
be utilized. In preparing these
compotes, do not have them too
sweet, but try to bring out the
true fruit flavor that goes so we'll
with that of the poultry.
A bit of spice is always good
with compete, but add the water
with a sparing hand. The juice
or syrup should not be watery, and
in using little sugar there will be
nothing to thicken it.
Combinations of fruits, like
prunes and apricots, raisins and
rhubarb, and pineapple and logan
berry juice or apples and ginger,
are all recommended, and by a
little experimenting the caterer
will find many for herself.
Fruit compotes may be served
either hot or cold, according to in
dividual preferences. The French
housewife, who originated them,

TT TNFOR ATELY both
squads and pigeons are not
so well known to the home
caterer as they should be, the
former being classed among the
iuxuries Of life and the latter
tabooed on account of their tough
ness, as generally served.
Now, however, with so many
surburbanites going into the
squab-rsising business, even the
luscious jumbo variety comes
within the reach of the everyday
housekeeper, and although it may
be necessary TO s'go shopping" for
them or establish a connection
whereby they may be delivered to
you, they are well worth the effort.
Pigeons as rule may be pur-
chased at any of the markets deal
ing with poultry and made into
delicious pie, or "jugged" accord
ing to the English fashion they
are especially good eating. AS a
rule they are apt to be tougher
and dryer than the squads and re-
auire slower cooking, with good
gravy or sauce.
In addition to the ways of pre-
pairing squads and pigeons, given
in the tested recipes, the former
may be broiled or egged and bread
crumbed, then fried in deep hot
fat; while the latter are delicious
stewed with celery and served with
sauce made from real cream,
butter and eggs.

How BoIsheVism Began.

The mystery of where the soviet system was evolved has been cleared up to the satisfaction of British So- cialists by the disclosure of Russian trade delegates to London that it took Its origin from q meeting held in Lon don in 1915.
 Lenine, Krassin, Bogdanoff and oth- CT 'fntellectuals" happened to be in London together at that time, each for his own special reason. They got together and discussed the form of government best suited to Russia after the inevitable downfall of czarism, and formulated the Bolshevik scheme based on Marxism which now prevails.
 Before separating, the reformers bound themselves to work for the re- alization of the plan, fuller details of which were afterward worked out by correspondence and at subsequent se- cret conferences in other European centerS.

 He went on. "I can't say what l would like to say in the way I want to. But am desperately in love with you"
 His calm assurance aroused her. "There is a good reason why you say that" Then she told him what she knew about the wager.
 He listened in silence, his face turned to the moonswept sea. When her hot words ended with, ''These shores have heard just such tales many times. A real mans love means too much to me-" he was silent for little; and then he spoke so evenly his voice did not betray his mood:
 q have only three weeks off in the year. I cannot meet you elsewhere. I am sorry I impress you as being egotistical; 1t is my way, that's all. At heart, I am sure am not; for from boyhood I have fought for confidence in myself. Suppose we return"
 He talked in a quiet way on the re- turn; and he left her with a farewell word that he had to return that night. Under the soft light of the corridor globe his face was white and drawn.
 She went to her room and stood thinking with a queer sensation of hurt and pain within her. He had evil dently come all those miles just to ask her. But he had not denied the wager.
 The sky broke and fell about her the next morning. Lucy came gayly up. My dear, I made mistake. Now that he's gone and no harms done I want to tell you the chap making that wager was Evert. One of the men told me. Their voices are so much alike"
 With a cry Ruth rushed away to the shelter of her room. What to do what to dol She must reach him. Dizzily she sought out her brother who had joined them that week. He listened, his cold gray eyes heating. Then he said in a frank, brotherly way: "You darned little fool. He's one of the finest chaps here. You write what you want and I'll get it to him or bust. And if you ever pull off such a deal again, I'll spank you my self"
 In the evening Ruth saw a duStv roadster that bore evidence of hard driving glide to a stop with squealing brakes in front of the inn. tall fig ure rose from it. mounted the steps and came toward them.
