Dan and Ken are brothers, and

He teaches them all the little box

teaches them that the least bit of
unfairness is just too low down for
any good sport to consider.
He says this is a, hard world for
men as well as boys, and the

they are to hold their own. He
says he doesn't want any boys

BY Hannah Wing

IN other countries the cucumber
is prepared as a vegetable
more than in this country, where
1t is used as salad or relish alone.
It's flavor, succulence and
certain amount of desirable min
eral content recommend it as a
vegetable which is well suited TO
the palate of those who like egg

sauce, which should be hot. Add
salt and white pepper or peprika,
to develope the flavor. Add the
beaten yolk. Mix well and
sprinkle parsley over the top of
each serving and serve while

CONSTANT READER.
I am sorry you are lonely and
sad, constant reader. How
foolish to have quarreled with the
man you love just before his
departure. It takes two to
quarrel you know. In time,
quarreling takes away all the
sweetness of affection. If you
were in the wrong in this dis
pute, write and tell your friend
so and ask to begin again. II he
really cares for you, he will re.
ply to your letter Of apology
eagerly. If he was altogether
in the wrong, of course you
cannot apologize, and can only
hope he vii write. But usually
neither party to a quarrel is al
together right and 1t is fair and
generous to apologize when you
are in the wrong.
Hearafter, try to use emotional
control in your friendships to the
extent of letting a man take the
initiative in demonstrations of af.
lection. What man has to earn
by devotion-whether It be friend
ship, or love-he is likely to APP
preciate more than attentions
thrown at him.
Life is long, and you are young.
