 "Jack's getting to be just like his father" she confided to Angela, as she sat beside her in the deeply cushioned car. Grumpy use 10 get into the most terrible rages over nothing at all-and Jacks ex- actly like him." ..e. .-
 What's he in rage about, now?" Angela asked. She looked like a Quakeress this morning in a new gray coat and her silver gilt hair shining in the cold sum- light.

 Angela agreed that it was.
 "Why don't you ask him to dis charge Miss Ayres then?" she asked, as they turned into Arbor street, and came 10 stop in front of the old red brick apartment house.
 "Well-1'm not jealous of Miss Ayres, exactly" Honey Lou an- swercd. And I don't think I ought to stick my nose into his office affairs, do you?"
 Angela shrugged her pa1e-gray broadcloth shoulders. Hes tell ing you how to run your house, isn't hc?" she asked Think it over-Think it over, Honey Lou"
 As Honey Lou got out and started up the steps she called to her.
 'I must tell Donegal what a homc-wrecker he's getting to be.' she laughed. Hell be flattered to death, Goodby. darling"
 Tp in the little five-room flat that had been home to Honey Lou for so many years, her mother was all alone.

 The sun struck through the white curtains, and on the plants that bloomed there winter and summer. Mrs. Huntley called them her hanging gardens of Babylon"
 From the half-open door of the kitchen came the rich odor of roasting meat, of boiling lima beans, and ba' ng potatoes. There was bunch of roses in low glass bowl on. the dining room table, all set for the Sunday dinner. Places were set for thrcc-Steve Mayhew must be coming. He often came home from church with Margret
 Honey Lon looked around her with eyes that were almost black with their sudden intensity. It struck her all at once that this little flat was a home-a real home The kind that Jack longed for as place where you could spread paint upon the kitchen screens" and do homely, honey, cozy things like that.
 What are you looking at, for goodness sake?" Her mothers voice shook her out of her day dream.
 'I was looking at your home" she answered musingly. Its so cozy, isn't it? Jack just hates the way We live, he says. He'd like a little house in the country"
 She flung off eher coat with it's nosegay of highly-scented silk flowers and her little red hat. and sat down on a stool at her mothers feet.
 "Mothcr" she said. and her voice was very heavy with her trouble, T just don't know what's the matter with Jack. When we were first married I told him I wanted tn get little house some. where and learn 10 take care of if myself - and he wouldn't hear of it v

 She clasped her hands with her new diamond rings and her old gold signet ring from high school days, around her knees. and went on:
 "Of course that left me with loads of time on my hands. and l spent it doing the things that the girls he knows do. I thought he wanted me to be like them. and to be friends with them-and so I did my best to be friends with them"

pretty soon back came Happy Jack with a great big hickory nut in his teeth. He disappeared in that hol- low tree trunk. Presently he reap peared. He no longer had the nick ory nut. As soon as he was out Of sight, Peter went to look for that nut. He didn't find it. It was a great mystery Peter didn't know what to make of if.

Peter Rabbit had told Happy lack the Gray Squirrel to lollo" him. Of course Happy Jack didn't need to be told not to let the others know what he was doing, so he was very sly and clever about It, He waited until Rusty the Fox Squlrfel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel were so busy quarreling that they had no thought of anything else, and when Striped Chipmunk was so busy watching them in the hope that they would knock down anoth- CT fat hickory nut for him, that he had eyes for nothing else. It was then that Happy Jack stole away. He found Peter waiting for him not far off. Away went Peter at once. ty-lipperty-lip. his funny lit tie white tail bobbing up and down. Happy Jack kept his eyes on that white tail. As long as he could keep that in sight he would have no trouble. in following him.
 'Now,' said Peter, stopping at last, what do you think of this'
 Happy Jack came hurrying up quite out of breath. There was hickory tree quite loaded with nuts and on the ground were many that had already fallen. There were more than Happy Jack had seen anywhere that fall. "Peter." he cried. You're the best friend a fel- low ever had. I'll never, never for get this. But don't tell anybody else about it." Peter grinned. I've a great mind to go get your Cousin Chatterer." said he.
 Don't. Peter, please don't" pleaded Happy Jack, and Peter was sure he saw tears in Happy Jacks eyes.
 T was only fooling." said Peter T wish that I could help you store these away, but I can't; so I guess you'll have 10 do it yourself"
 The first thing Happy Jack did was to go look for a place to hide the nuts.
 Aren't you going to take them down to your regular storehouse 2" asked Peter.
 No replied Happy Jack. that is too far away. I'll move them over there later bu' just now the thing is to get them while can. If I havs them picked up and hidden before any one else finds this tree. no one will ever know anything about them. So the first thing 10 do is to find a place in which to hide them" Happy Jack ran this way and ran that way. while Peter watched. At last he came back with q satisfied look on his face. Then he went to work.
 My goodness how he did work Just as fast as hc could run. back and forth. back and forth, Happy Jack scampered. It was surprising how fast he picked up those nuts But 1t was some time before Peter found out what he was doing with them. He would disappear in an old hollow tree trunk on the ground. Peter watched him go in 1t and he thought right away that of course that was where Happy Jack was storing away the hickory nuts. But when Peter ventured into it himself while Happy Jack was away, he got the surprise Of his life. Not single nut was there. No sir, Happy Jack hadn't stored away a single nut there. Peter was sorely puzzled.
 He kept out of sight behind tree, where he could watch the en- trance to that hollow tree trunk.

CASSEROLE HELPS
MAKING A DINNER
One of Most Satisfactory to
Serue Guests.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
If you have not discovered the pos
sibilities of a casserole for making a
dinner both delicious and easy to pre-
pare, now is a good time to try it.
An earthenware or glass baking dish
with a close-ftting cover, is desirable
if you have one, especially If you In
tend to bring the casserole to the ia
BILE. But if you wish to experiment
first with this method Of cooking and
have no casserole, heavy enamel or
aluminium saucepan or even an iron
pot with a tight cover can be used.
In this case the contents of the pan
used for baking will, of course, have
to be dished on platter, which
makes an extra piece to be washed.
The casserole is dish saver.
A casserole dinner is one of the
most satisfactory to serve to guests
when one is both cook and hostess.
It can be cooked in the morning, and
reheated at dinner time for half an
hour or so. In this way the house
keeper is free to finish the other de-
tails Of her dinner, and is spared that
flustered and tired feeling that results
from having too many last-minute
foods on the fire. The meat or poul-
try cooked in a casserole, well sea-
soned and accompanied by the right
vegetables, will be unusually fine in
flavor because Of the long, slow, moist
cooking in the covered dish. 1t is also

Egg Yolk Is Invaluable
in Diet of Young Child

Leftover egg yolks have many good
uses. The egg yolk contains larger
percentage of iron than almost any
other food. For this reason it is inval-
liable in the diet of children who get
plenty of calcium from milk but are
not likely to get enough iron. Egg
yolks can be cooked hard without the
addition of any fat, for they them
selves contain large amount Of fat.
This cooking can be satisfactorily done
in a double boiler. Hard-cooked egg
yolks mashed and seasoned make
very good filling for sandwiches. Egg
yolks, raw or hard cooked, make good
salad dressings. Chopped beef mixed
with raw egg yolks contains higher
proportion of iron than almost any
other meat dish. 1t can be broiled in
cakes or baked in a roll. 1t has very
delicate flavor and Is therefore recon-
mended for the sick. Hollandaise
sauce which consists chiefly of egg
yolks and butter is good to serve with
fish and Is particularly appropriate
for this purpose since most kinds of
fish contain less iron than meat and
far less fat. The proportions usually
given for Hollandaise sauce are rather
alarming for the economical house
keeper because Of the large amount Of
butter called for. For everyday pur-
poses a simpler sauce made out Of
4 yolks, 2 teaspoonfuls Of lemon
juice, IL cupful of water, with salt
and cayenne pepper to taste will do.
The ingredients should be combined
in the top of double boiler and
cooked with great care over hot water.
1t is necessary to beat the mixture
even after it is taken from the hot
water to prevent curdling.

Casserole of Chicken and Vegetables.
usually ready to serve in pieces Of
convenient size without carving at
the table, and this is sometimes
boon to the one who has to do the
carving.
What goes into the casserole: Any
combination of meats and vegetables
you think could be cooked well to-
gether by this method. The casserole
enables you to have a meal in one
DISH 1t also offers an excellent way
of using the less expensive cuts Of
beef, veal, lamb and pork. Fowls, OK
tails, calf hearts and tongues, rabbits
in season, and many small meats may
be cooked to good advantage in
casserole. The preferred blend of fla
vors will govern the vegetables to go
with these meats. AS rule, the meat
should be cut in pieces of suitable
size for Individual portions, seasoned
and then scared and Drowned in fat.
Vegetables are also cut into pieces of
convenient size. Moisture in the form
of gravy or water is needed. If one
plans a tomato gravy, for example, or
has meat stock on hand, the gravy
may be made at the beginning of the
cooking period. Otherwise the water
Juices drawn out Of the meat and veg
etables may be thickened at the time
of serving the dinner. A tight-ftting
lid keeps the steam inside the cas-
serole and prevents the meat from
drying out.

Watermelon Pickles Are
Excellent for a Change

As a change from other sweet
pickles this year, try some made from
watermelons, which promise to be
abundant. Only the white portion of
the rind is used The red heart Of the
watermelon can be eaten as usual.
The following recipe has been test
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture:
For each two pounds Of watermelon
rind allow
8 cupfuls sugar Y tablesp u
Q sticks cinnamon II tablesp u
allspice
Trim off the red portion and outer
rind of the watermelons, which are
best used at the height of the season,
and in ripe, fresh, condition. Cut the
white part into pieces Of suitable size
and cook until tender, for about Ia
minutes, in a part of water to which
one teaspoonful of salt has been add"
ed, and drain well. Put into a strip
made of the vinegar, sugar and spices,
and cook about fifty minutes, or until
clear. If the vinegar is very acid 1t
may be necessary to dilute 1t. Much
of the success in all pickles lies in US
ing a well-favored vinegar. Bottle
the pickles in usual way.

Smooth Clipped Places
on Edges of Glasses

Jelly glasses, drinking glasses, and
fruit jars frequently become. Clipped.
Not only are Clipped edges unpleas-
ant, but they also afford lodging for
heterogeneous and not infrequently
for soap used in washing. The Clipped
places on the edges Of tumblers and
other glass articles can be made
smooth by rubbing down with fine
emery paper, or with fine sandpaper
If the emery is not available. To
avoid breathing the glass dust, one
should tie a dampened cloth over the
nose and mouth. Such repair as this
is quite commonly carried out where
food is sold and served in quantities,
emery wheels instead of emery paper
being used to smooth down the Clipped
and broken edges. In this case,2too,
precautions should be taken to avoid
breathing the glass dust.

Source of Viton1ines

Grapefruit is good source Of at
least two vitamines, those called and
c, which help to prevent certain So
called deficiency diseases. The pleas
ant aromatic odor of grapefruit also
literally makes the mouth water, or In
other words starts the flow of diges-
tive juices, and the acid that gives the
tart flavor helps the food to move
through the digestive tract in health
full way.
