heavy crepe veil described by Mary
and the one which I had seen
tumbling out OF Katie's suitcase and
which my little maid had so hurriedly
pushed back together with the other
fiamboyant mourning garments
which the bag had spilled. How
ever. we carefully kept our eyes
averted from each other and fixed
on the young people who were
laughing at the remembrance of the
ludicrous figure they had seen. But
while Prince Georges mirth was

Steak Stuffed Bacon.
Remove the fat from the leftover
steak and chop ii fine. To a cupful
add a grated onion. pepper. salt, a
feaspoonful OF sugar. a beaten egg.
a teaspoonful OF finely minced celery
leaves, and Just enough fine crumbs
TO make the mass firm. Add two
teaspoonfuls OF soft butter and a
teaspoonful of dried and powdered
mint leaves. Lay as many slices OF
bacon as needed out fiat, place a
teaspoonful OF the filling at the end
OF each, then roll up and fasten with
n wooden toothpick. The rolls may
be lightly busted with a little flour
and set aside in a cool place. When
ready, the rolls may be fried care
fully, or they may be baked In a
medium oven. Serve a smooth
tomato sauce with the rolls. and
baked potatoes. The leftover outlet
or chop meat may be used In the
same way.
Individual Chicken Pies.
PREPARE and fricassee a chicken.
When done lift the chicken. cool
slightly. remove the bones and throw
tbem hack into the broth with a
rhouped onion, minced parsley and a
few stalks Of chopped celery. Cook
until the broth is reduced TO the de-
sired quantity. Thicker. then strain
and return the chicken to It. Have

Meat Stuffed Baked Tomatoes.
Prepare a mince the same as for

He liked to give breakfasts in the woods
somewhere with a campfire and the bacon
sizzling in the pan. He liked TO give dinners,
too-nice, simple, informal dinners, and to
these dinners he invited his friends. the people
he really liked.
Not just somebody he wanted to impress,
not just somebody who'd given him a dinner,
not somebody who might be useful to him in
business later on.
Just men and women he happened to like,
and he didn't care who the men and women
were either-if he liked them.
Once he invited a man who goes hunting
with him in the Fall, just a plain simple man
who can shoot and ride and make camp and
tell amazing stories of the great woods and the
timid wild things that live in them.
