the doctors last wishes expressed

was; all that he had was to be
shared equally by the three girls,
and that all was not so much as
they had been led to suspect.
-Your father gave away much

his old>time friend. pausing in his
reading of the short document.
II seemed almost heartiess to
talk of money; Cherry chung to her
sister; Anne and her husband sat
apart.
II think that's ALL" said the
lawyer. anything can do TO help
I'll do gladly for the doctors

Before you CO." said the sharp
voice of Justin Little. "there is
little matter I wish to straighten
out. / have in my hand bill for
some ten thousand dollars rendered
by my wffc's father to DR.. strick<
land and I can find no receipt
now do not wish TO be mercen-
airy, but surely this is a claim
against the estate"
but you aren't going TO press
IT," asked the lawyer. especially
when you consider that Mrs. Lat
tie has lived here all these years
and is having as much as DR.,
Stricklands' own daughters"
I'm afraid we must ask for IT,.
said MIR. Little. his small eyes
showing no sign OF giving up a
jot of what he thought he could
get, IT am simply looking out for
my wife's interest,"
But you. Mrs. Littie--Anne--"
said the lawyer.
Justin says II is my duty to

The Washington times., 1922-04-19

the letters from her father and
AIix were the bright spots In her
dun life; she sank down by the
table to read while Martin made
pretense OF helping himself to
his dinner,
The news from Aiix drove out
of her mind all the thoughts OF
the recent quarrel.
She even looked across at her
husband as though nothing had
happened.
"Alix says father has had an
other heart attaclf--he isn't so
weii and she thinks ought TO
come up"
"All right; sorry TO hear that"
"she says we both ought to
come
SERIOUS as that. eh2 When do

"As soon as I cam
IAN right; you run along on
the first train In the morning and
III see IL 1 can get a day off"
80 In the shadow OF the illness
OF the beloved doctor the petty
chickering's were for the moment
forgotten,
AK had not overstated the
case: the doctor had known OF the
trouble when he spoke 10 his elder
daughter about the property. Since
that time Anne had left him and
Cherry had departed. Life had
never seemed the same to him
since.
With sad heart Alix tried to
make up for the loss. feeling her
own inadequscy TO fill their
pIaces; the going Of Peter had left
her own world empty; not until he
had sailed did she realize how
empty; and there was no one in
whom she could confide.
Buckley remained and Buckley
could not talk; he was the one
link between hope and despair in
the daily routine Of the lonely girl.
She sensed the calamity that was
soon 10 overtake her when she
saw how steadily her father was
failing; she wrote TO Anne and
the two wives arrived at the
Strickland home as fast as the
train could bring them, but even
then too late. DIR. Strickland did
not answer his daughters call the
morning after she had written.
She knocked on his door and went
fearfully into his room.
She knew when she looked that
he would never answer her again
After the funeral they gathered

and living on the Avenue.
All well In it's way. but not of
any help now. Cherry. the dainty,
In a gingham dress. washed dirty
pans and pitied herself. Martin
worked hard and thought he had
found jewel.
But badly cooked meals. coffee
sioppiiy made. milk thats had a
way OF turning sour. All these
wore on the man who had been
used to living well. He made no
comment at first. hoping that
Cherry would improve as a cook;
time proved that Cherry would
never learn the art of catering to
a mans appetite.
And with her work came re-
suitant neglect ON her part She
began TO look dragged; Cherry IN
gingham was, quite a different per-
SON from Cherry in the smart little
gowns IN which she lolled about

SALADS FOR
SPRING
by Loretto c. Lynch


A GOOD Spring tonic lies in
~ the eating OF fresh green's.
One Of the happy ways to
eat them is-in the form OF salads,
and the housewife who has the
dietetic welfare OF her family at
heart win see to II that Spring
time salads come to the table at
least three or four times a week.
A particularly attractive salad Il
made OF SLICED Bermuda onions,
soaked In sugar and water for sew.
eral hours and then chilled, oorn-
bined with green pepper and may
onnaise and served in nests Of cool
green watercress.
Chilled chickory may be mari
mated and served with a dressing
made by blending together three
tablespoons OF olive oil with one OF
tarragon vinegar or lemon juice
and a pinch OF dry mustard and
salt. Radlshes cut TO represent
rosebuds may be put on the
chickory.
In most any part OF our country
one can get cabbage even IL tho
other salad plants are not In sea
son or too expensive. Shred the
cabbage into fine shreds with a
large knife or cutter especially de-
signed for this purpose. Mix with
q little onion Juice, chopped pi-
mento and moisten with mayon-
naise and stuff into halves OF
cleaned green peppers.
There are many pleasing mix
lures I'm the fruit combinations
and fruit salads should be served
In place of the heavier pies and
puddsn9s OF the colder months.
First, have the lettuce clean and
cold and dry. Have the serving
plate cold and the fruit combina-
ton cold. The dressing also should
be cold.
One particularly attractive fruit
combination is that OF dates, seed
less oranges, pecan nut meats and
cream niayonnaise. IL finds place
on the menu of many hiGh-ciass
tea rooms and commands a fancy
price. IL may be served In orange
cases---haif oranges from which
tfff pulp mas Utt1 cut 4 ne VhhhSc
cases may be set on leaves OF let
tuce.
You may buy frat quality may
onnaise at a reasonable price at
the better shops or you may make
Il. But. in any event, before using
IL with fruit salad, fold into a
given quantity OF msyonnaise at
least half as much stiffly whipped
cream.
Celery IN always good, and when
cut and combined with an equal
quantity OF diced apple Il makes a
most attractive salad whom mixed
with cream rnayonnaise and
chopped walnut meats. This may
be served with scooped-out bright
red apples.
IL you cannot afford the best OF
lettuce and celery, buy outside
leaves and pieces. Wash them
carefully and cut into small pieces.
Combine with chopped pimento
and Spanish onion for a tasty
salad.
