Pillars of Salt

She's never really happy. They say
she got into terrible trouble once when
she was young-madc some mistake
that made the whole town buzz. For
here. Always since then she's gone
about as though there were veil
across her face. She says she never
can atone"
PILLARS OF SALT-each one OF
them. LOOKING BACK! Looking
back until the joy and hope within
their hearts has turned to bitterness.
Looking back until they are but salty
husks. And it's so useless. Ida
wouldn't be happy in her tiny New
England village if she had her wish.
Shed feel strangled. Ed wouldn't
know what TO do with a "madcap
BRIDE" even if he had her still. More
over, she wouldn't be a madcap bride
by now-she'd be wearing arch sup
ports and counting calories and he'd
roar like walrus II she asked him to
go to movie with her after dinner.
And as for Mary, she is mourning for
ghost. She lived that old mistake
down years ago. There's no atone
ment needed any more. She might
have gone on gladly, just like any
other girl, il only she had turned her
face toward the new life instead Of
brooding on the old.
POOR SALTY PILLARS OF
VAIN LONGING AND REGRET
How foolishly we all waste the main
chance.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
"a At an informal morning wed.
ding in the Catholic church at a mass,
the bride intends to wear a simple
white dress and hat. The bridegroom
will wear a blue business suit. Is
this correct?
(2) What color tie should the
groom and best man" wear?
81 Instead of bouquet the bride
and bridesmaid would like to carry
a prayer book with shower of rib.
bons and flowers attached.
Would this be in good form at a
nuptial mass? If so, how should the
shower be made?
MARY.
This attire is quite proper for a
small, informal morning wedding. II
the bridegroom wishes to dress more
formally, he could wear a morning
coat and dark striped trousers.
~ With a business suit, the groom
and best man should wear a tie that
is becoming to them and that is ap,
propriate for a business suit. A bow
tic is appropriate for a business suit
A bow tie is appropriate, but a dark
four-in-hand tic Ozark blue or black
is usually worn, one with 4 single
white stripe every once in a while"
or groups of narrow white stripes two
or Elree inches apart. This kind OF
tic is always in good taste with for.
NAL day clothes and with a business
suit. / hope that they won't wear
white tiles of any kind, for this al.
ways looks to me as if the groom is
trying to acquire a wedding look"
in his clothes.
(3) 1t is very good form, and very
effective, / think, for the bride to
carry prayer-book instead of a bou.
quet. 1t is not so customary for the
bridesmaid to carry a prayer book.
Why not plan to have the bride carry
a prayer-bpok, and have the brides.
maid carry small bouquet, either
a .corsage bouquet or one of the small
old-fashioned bouquets. (1S30 bou-
quet)2
Sometimes through the prayer-book
there is a small, narrowy white rib
bon, of any length the bride wishes
sometimes it is quite long,, and on
the end of the ribbon is tiny cluster
of 'orange-blossoms. The natural flow
ers that have been waxed, are usually
used for these groups. Since your
costume is informal it would perhaps
be more consistent for you to carry
the prayer-book without the ribbon.

On the evening Of the day when
discovered that jeanne had gone chest
nutting in the woods with Nicholas
Perry one afternoon and was goint
to an exhibition Of etchings In towr
with him the next day, strange prob
lem arose to confront Jim and me.
Jim came home in the same loving
tender, protective and jovial mooc
that had made us both so happy the
day before. My simple little dinner
Of meat balls with tomato sauce, sue
cotash, fried potatoes and lemon pie
struck responsive chord, and We
made merry over the food and the
delicious cider Zeke Schmidt had "or-
dered" Jim to buy.
II must give that chap present,
Jim said. Cant tip him. He's toe
much of an aristocrat for that. And
for all he's so bossy and so sturdy
looking. / notice that he's as dainty
as a woman. Do you recall that box
of toilet water, soap md talcum pow

with a laugh.

Christmas, but he won't use it.. so

On to him now"
Il wouldn't began, but Jim
arose and vanished into his room.
AS the minutes passed grew more
and more uncomfortable. At first j
thought Jims might be angry with me
for arguing with him over his choice
of gifts. Then / found myself grow
ing actually uneasy. / had vague
prcmonition which refused to recog-
MIC. Suddenly Jim came out Of his
room, limping and walking with that
jerky haste which tells of annoyance.
"Did you throw that stuff out?"
he asked
What stuff" parted, sparring
for time.
@You know very well what / was
looking for. That box of soap, toilet
water and talcum Brooke de Courcey

No?"
h"I didn't object" ! declared.
-Then why did you throw it out?"
Il didn't" replied briefly.
@Trust a woman to talk around n
subject for an hour without coming
down to cases." snorted Jim. But his
irritation was an amused and surface
sort, for he came and pcrchcd on the
arm of my chair and asked almost
tenderly as he slid his arm around
me and lifted my face TO rest against
his shoulder. what did you do with
it then, cutie?"
-Nothing," l answered, adding from
the heart; Lets not worry about a
foolish box Of do-dads you probably
lost in moving. / want to kiss
you"
Jim's lips fairly plunged down to-
ward mine. But after he had kissed
me he said thoughtfully:

Cottage Cheese Salad.
Raisin Puffs
Most of us follow the conventional
paths in planning our meals and are
loath to to include in them dishes
which are unfamiliar. This trait not
infrcqucntly keeps us from enjoying
many new dishes or many old dishes
in new forms.
Many among US who are newcom-
crs to Texas are quite unacquainted
with red beans and do not know how
delicious they are when cooked in the
Spanish style. So let's try them for
Monday evenings dinner.
The beans are cooked in boiling
sailed water until they are tender.
They are drained and cup cooked red
beans are combined with l cup cooked
carrots, / cup cooked beef (cubed), l
chilli finely chopped, 1 teaspoonful salt,
cups boiling water, tablespoons
onion finely minced, l tablespoon su-
gar and few grains pepper.
The only directions necessary in
effecting the combination are TO
brown the onion and meat in the
drippings or oil; then add the other
ingredients and cook slowly until the
water is nearly evaporated, which
means about hour. Instead of water,
the liquor in which the beans were
cooked may be used. And in place of
beef, veal left from Sundays roast
may be utilized.
From an attractive little booklet
published by the raisin growers comes
this recipe for
