She opened the door and ran
down to the street. There was

And In that alley, Just below
her windows, lay the wooden box
smashed. Tubes OF paint and
paint brushes Of various sizes
were scattered all over the
ground. Most of the tubes were
flat and all Of the paint had been
squeezed out Of them. Ann
Marie knew that the wheels OF

dressing most useful for this
purpose Is a light boiled dressing
or mayonnaise, well seasoned and
sharp, although a jar of French
dressing, which every icebox
should contain, may also be called
upon for seasoning purposes. Meat
and vegetable dishes and those
requiring sharpness are most in
need of this seasoning. The fol-

the possibilities Of salad dressing
in cooking.

were all out of it. She heard

there she set up a folding card.
