to work this out his own way. He

Father Andrew from feeling that he
was falling me. 80 you see you've

Then I hesitated a bit in turn.
How could I manage to offer to as
sumo the burden of support Of my
poor old father now?
FILLED WITH RAGE.
Oddly enough, just then there
were two quick little rings at the
doorbelL

typed, and / saw at a glimpse that
the envelope bore Jim's letterhead

realized that it's -postmark was the
local one. / read eagerly:
"Dear Mrs. Harrison:
Part OF Mr.. Harrison's hasty
financial arrangement was that

didn't have any assets at first. In
future I'll be a day earlier.
Very truly,
Mabel Storrs."
Shaken by something like a gust
of rage. / seized the check be-
tween my fingers ready to tear ii
to bits. 1t seemed that this was
not from Jim. but from the strange
woman he'd left in charge of the
affairs i should have been dele
gated to manage. Just as my
fingers nicked the papers, some
thing stopped me. 1t was the real
ization that I had no right to re-
fuse-no right to destroy it.
Hadn't the revelations of this
very afternoon shown that my first
and greatest duty to dear Father
Andrew was to find money and to
find it quickly.

He has accepted 1t as the oncial

Amateur etymologists and philolo-
gists and other inquiring minds
everywhere have tried to discover
the origin of the slogan. but they
are not in agreement General opin-
ion is that II was one of those SLOW
growing Americanisms that burst
into popularity when 1t was most
needed. Certainly 1t was not born
Of the A. Z. F., perhaps or even OF
the army in pre-war days.

Advice to
Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
NOT NECESSARY.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1t Is my nature to be kind and
pleasant to everyone. and 1 have a
great number of friends, both boys
and girls. My special boy friend,
or my sweetheart however. doesn't
want me to be pleasant to anyone
at all. except him, and makes 1t a
point to act very cold whenever 1
go against his wishes. / love him,
however, more than all the world,
and he says he loves me.
Do you think II would be advis-
able for me to sacrifice my friends
and ecen then stand chances of los
ing him to some pretty "vamp" or
to give him up and crush my only
real love? ROSEMARY.
You have a lovely nature, but
need a little more backbone in deal
ing with the young man. Just be-
cause he happens to be your sweet
heart does not give him the privi-
lege of debating your manner to-
ward others, when apparently II is
irreproachable. He had rather bet
ter learn of you. 1 most certainly
would not give up any of my friends.
1t Is not necessary that you give
him up, either. unless he becomes
unbearable. Have you tried to edu-
cate him in the ways of kindness?

Reduce Gas
Bills
By Loretto G. Lynch.

TN some sections of our country
the price of gas has taken q
sharp upward turn. The house
wife must reorganize her methods
Of food preparation and she must
also learn to conserve every pos
sible cubic foot Of fuel
The Department Of Agriculture
will send you directions for. max
ing . nreless cooker that really
works The materials needed may
be found, perhaps, among the scraps
in every fair-sized home.
The flreless has the added ad-
vantage Of compelling slow cook
ing. Any tough cut OF meat may
be made tender and toothsome by
long, slow cooking at a tempera-
ture below boiling.
But II you do cook on the gas
fame, remember that once a pot
temperature greater than about 212
temperature gerater than about 212
degrees Fahrenheit, no matter how
much gas you burn. Therefore,
once the pot starts to bold. reduce
the height Of the flame sufficiently
to just maintain a bubble or boil
This effects a saving.
1t takes no more gas to cook
twelve potatoes than 1t does to cook
six. Plan to have whole boiled or
mashed potatoes the hrst day and
creamed potatoes the second
Creamed potatoes are made from
leftover cold boiled potatoes cut
into cubes and reheated for a mo-
ment in a white sauce. Sprinkled
with finely chopped parsley or
sprinkled with grated cheese and
set into the oven until the cheese
melts, the dish satisfies both the
eye and the palate.
Again. plan your baking so as to
get the most possible use out of the
oven. II you are roasting q piece
of meat, scrub. wipe dry and grease
some potatoes. These may be put
into the oven on a plate and baked.
When done, cut them in half length
wise, scoop out the white portion
and mix II with milk. butter and
seasoning. Pack II back into the
shell and II you decide to use them
the next day. put them into the
broiler OF the gas range to toast \
moment until delicately Drowned.

clumsy, eager, inarticulate- Bea-

Sidney was obviously wretched.

Sidney and his sister were pack

pany to New York by slow de-
grees.
Sidney would stay on, perhaps
with Harry Page. perhaps at the
club. he told Patricia, for a few
days. Dan was planning a year in
the Orient. Patricia, who had kept
her room all this time at Mrs.
Rogers. was to move finally to the
Castle on the last day of the year.
