The veil of the Oriental women IS

writer as an element of romance,
mystery and added grace to feminine
movement.
MANY Turkish girls returning
home from European college courses
have realized and adopted the be-
comingness of the veil" he said.
Mercy, Mr.. Abdnllah, how you
frightened us needlessly.
OF course. the veil may be the
symbol of the harem, and all that.
but we've seen a lot of advanced
lady thinkers in this country wear

Wells in this part of the world are
partly matter of climate and com.

agree to share you with US all. OF
course L haven't told the others
about Ted's letters. 1t is her secret
until she wants to tell 1t. And l
haven't even told Ted yet. But she
won't worry about my taking any of
her laurels, as she knows laurels
aren't in my line, and after this
will let Ted dress up my message to
you in her letters.
1 have been thinking about your
prescription for poor Crusty,--the
case seems almost hopeless, SO all
the more fun to work at, I suppose.
I hear Teds determined footstep
in the hall. She never stops for
Busy sign, so I must chuck this
in the drawer.
1t was a delicious, cheering cup
I've had, dear Mary G., and 1 wish
1 knew what you put into those
sandwiches.
Gratefully,
ANNIELOVE.
Welcome, dear little Annielove, to
the teatable. Here is a chair that
you will like, and it is right next to
Mary G.
Do you know, Annielove, 7 can't
blame Ted at all for saying that she
was Simply devoted to Annielove."
That is cryptic remark which you
may solve at your leisure.
In the meantime, we are all await
ing word from Ted sometime to the
effect that Crusty is about to cast her
shell!
I am so pleased to have another
recruit today in Patricia whom you
may remember in Billys letter about
James aunt. Patricia sounded so in
teresting that I hoped she would
sometime join US. Her first contribu-
ton isn't at all what 1 should have
imagined it might be, but it only
shows that she is not only interesting,
but versatile. The greatest delight L
find in our teatable group is in our
variety of personalities. Each girl
has her own peculiar charm, and the
sum of all those varieties of charm
rolls up great total that makes me
feel that we have the most delightful
and unusual teatable in the state Of
New Jersey.
Patricia's contribution is called

Pan-Broiled Steak
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
(Of Columbia University

The ideal way to broil steak is to
cook it under the gas fame or over
the Goals or charcoal. 1t may. how
ever, be possible to use frying pan.
Heat the pan until 1t is very hot.
Wipe the steak and trim it of exces-
sive fat. Put it into the hot pan,
turn it almost Immediately, and do
this once or twice until it is scared
on both sides. Then allow it to cook
first on one side and then on the
other. Remove to a hot platter. add
salt and pepper, and saute mush-
room caps. Pour mushroom sauce
around the steak.
For the sauce, wash, peel caps and
remove stems from mushrooms.
Cook stems and skins in water for
20 minutes. Strain and use the
liquor for the sauce, To the fat left
in the pan in which the steak was
cooked add q tablespoon of flour and
stir until Drowned. Add one cup OF
mushroom liquor, one-fourth tea
spoon salt, one teaspoon Worcester
shire sauce, and a little pepper.
Cook three minutes. stirring all the
time. Strain around the steak. The
mushroom caps are cooked in butter
II minutes.

10 q marvellous sweetness about fol-
lowing the hard path-even for a
little way-of the Great Teacher who
taught by example. To know that

clothes and social engagements and
the attentions Of men, that IL has a
spiritual quality that one feels in
tensely at rare and beautiful mo-
ments, that everything purely ma
terialistic loses it's absurd Importance
for a little while at least, that is the
sort Of thing / have in mind when
grow reminiscent Of the time when
was sixteen, and it was almost Easter.
1 confess TO mirth when I see so
many ladies of generous avoirdupois
piously remarking that they are 60
ing without candy during Lent!
Heavens, If the fat would be thin,
they should go without candy for life
and not combine a desire to achieve
the beauty of slenderness with an act
Of denial that they suddenly conceive
as an act of piety, pleasing in the
sight Of the Lord.
1t would be more to the point If
one should deny herself the indul-
gence in pettiness of spirit, suspicion
of ones neighbor, disIoyalty to her
friendships, and hatefulness to her
mother! Those are acts of penitence
that really try the soul and require
all the divinity that human kind
possesses.
1t is rather a good thing. just on
general principles, to deny ones self
something once in a while, in order
that one doesn't allow herself to
grow fabby. No one wants to be a
gambler or a dope field or ciga-
rette fend or a coffee fend, or any
other kind OF iend; and she who
would keep her will-powe: in good
repair deliberately goes without
something which she finds herself
devoted to-, to use Ted's phrase,
| before she gets addicted to it. 1t is
| splendid practice. 1t keeps the moral
| sinews tough and healthy. Whereas
constant indulgence in anything al
ways makes one fiabby of spirit.
Women don't look at life any more
| from the softheaded viewpoint. They
have become hardheaded as men,
that is, they are locking at life as /;
is, and splendidly trying to make the
best of it! They mean ''to play the
game, ana to play It with courage.
| Next week / am going to expect
| lots OF the jolliest letters ever.
Margie, aren't you coming TO tell US
about those window shades? And
Billy, / know something is ferment-
ing in your mind that Five Fifteen
will enjoy. We haven't heard in
weeks from Mabel (bcrn Martha },

Dear Mary G.,
You simply must make room for
me at your tea-tab1e Just this once,
and do wish it might happen that
my chair might be next yours. / am
| fair to bursting with a discovery that
1 can't help telling you.
Ted calls me "Annielove", SO now
| you must know the secret, but I
must tell you how I happened upon
| it,. Perhaps I'd better say at the be-
ginning that l am terribly abashed
at myself for writing to you. Ted is
so fearfully clever at everything that
should be afraid of her If 1t weren't
for her adorable, very human quail
ties,--one Of which, by the way, is
ner goodness to me. But Ted won't
see this letter, SO write.
Well, Ted must have left her room
in hurry, she always does. 1 was
taking a package from home into
Teds room to open, for any JOY is
more joyous If she shares it. When
l found Ted gone, sat down at her
desk and started to read The Perth
Amboy Evening News where she had
left it open. I was led on until I
came to a letter from Tied" / knew
there must be other "Teds," but
when 1 came to "Crusty", I knew
that Tied" was our Ted and that
that "Crusty", IL suppose [ must
claim her too,--our Crusty. And then
didn't fairly eat VI the rest of the
letter about your crowd. Rather a
mean trick, too, wasn't it? Like lis
tening at the keyhole. But the letter
was SO rafting good that / was lies
natchly bleeged" to go on, with apol-
ogies to Ted. Why is it so enhancing
to read about yourself and about
parties where you were among
those PRESENT."
l did feel pretty guilty when I
came to Ted's fond and foolish (and
undeserveG) words about Annielove.
You know we are all really true: Ted
hasn't used any literary license" nor
done any touching up' of US; she
couldn't, she does is so
fine and straightforward. (Do you
suppose, by any chance, if tell you
these fine things about Ted, it will
make up for my eavesdropping
So this is what she has been carry
ing on when she put up her severe
BUSY" sign on her door! And we
supposed she was balancing her elu-

drawers. Surely I can't wonder at
her wanting to shut US out and visit
with you. In just this one letter from
you, Mary c., know that you Lnow

you were driving a car at night. And
have always disliked the sound of
the fog horns in the bay, they are so
gloomy and full Of the suggestion of
distress.
But when I went out on our porch
to bring in my cat Omar, saw what
am sure started the japanese
painting the sort of pictures they
paint.
The fog a soft white background:
a tall scraggly pine tree, black and
startlingly defined against that back
ground Of fog that was so thick that
all the rest of the familiar objects
of the neighborhood and even our
own lawn were completely obliterat-
ed. Just above the old pine tree,
with it's few long, irregular branches
stretched UP toward it as If 1t were
still trying to reach it after a hun
dred years of unrewarded hopeful
ness, was the moon shining serenely
down upon the fog-covered earth,
quite Indifferent as to whether it was
visible or invisible; quite indifferent
too to the yearning Of the faithful
pine tree.
But that was all my picture. Real.
ly japanese, wasn't It? All gray and
white and silver moonlight with the
jet black pine tree for the central
figure. / think I shall never forget
it.
I'm ever so pleased, Patricia, that
you tried your hand at some descrip-
tive writing. 1t is hard to do, but il

ton powers as well as for your
vocabulary. You did succeed ir
