Now Go O, With The Story
CHAPTER XXXVIII
When Celia Mitchell opened her
ewes next morning she saw at once
that her plans for the day were
ruined Two little wrinkles appear
ed in her forehead as she turned
on her pillow and gazed out the
onrn window.
Rainl II was falling in gentle
monotony. not a downpouring sum-
r,er torret that would end as
abruptly as 10 had begun. This
rain was sure TO last throughout the
dav.
She sat 10 in bed and consider

.... And Halloween.
Nevertheless. local hunters will
find sufficient ducks and geese near
Boca Chica. AS we sit writing this
a car passes with a trailer hooked
behind. a small boat strapped on
A large pile of hay firmly tied 10
the boat, to be used for a blind. We
suppose. and camping equipment,
guns, water cans. complete the out
fit. Several hunters are piled IN
the automobile, with happy express
sions on their faces.
Crazy Plane
The Mexican aviators are having
lots of trouble with their Waco
cabin plane.
First. the plane crashed IS miles
south of Matamoros, during bad
weather. and Mexico VAS scared
for two days when no word was
heard Of or from her aces.
And Friday the plaEe was in
Brownsville. and went gaga at the
Municipal Airport. 1t acted like
a horse after having eaten crazy
grass. or a man after taking mari
huana.
The pilot had climbed out, leav-
ing the engine running. 1t jump
ed into gear. and attacked a de-
fenseless hangar.
The best thing to Go with that
plane is to cremate II.
Will Is Continue?
Week after week has rolled by.
ard Highway No. IL has been be-
having. Not a death through
automobile accidents for ages.
Today Is Sunday. And the Sec
ond day OF the hunting season. The
weather Is good. Traffic will be
heavy.
And II there are no wrecks to-
day or tonight, someone ought TO
erect a monument.
Drive carefully. Stay sober.
Obey traffic rules.
Halloween
Like the old gray mare. Hal
lUwe'en "aint what il used to be-"
One thing that aided materially
in killing the sport is the lack OF
gates. New styles In landscaping
have done away with fences. and
with fences gone. gates disappear.
And what is Halloween without
gates to steal? And how can one
hide a COW in the belfry when there
are no cows and the church has
no belfry? And how can one tie
a wagon on top of 4 roof when
there are no wagons and the roofs
are six stories high?
The old tricks are gone. and new
ones are being discouraged. Last
year In Brownsville inventive minds
decided to get a bucket of white
wash. a couple of brushes. and
drive down the streets painting
cars. The police interfered.
1t looks like another old custom
has journeyed 70 limbo.

The day had frightened mirac-

more and the sky was clear.
Evelyn held a long telephone

stairs TO the nearest telephone.

answered after she had given the

{ THE housewife in search OF ap-
; L petizing new vegetable dishes
/ 10 tempt the family palate will find
wealth of possibilities in kale,
kohl-rabi, turnips. parsnips, beets,
winter carrots. cabbage and on
ions.
These good cool weather vege-
tables possess certain dietary
qualities which are most desirable
and should not be overlooked.
Kale very acceptably takes the
place OF spinach. Turnips and
parsnips are valuable because
they supply bulk. always neces
sity in the diet. and some carbo-
hydrates. These vegetables all
supply some mineral matter and
vitamins.
When cooking these vegetables.
one should remember that their
structure is very different from
that of the succulent summer veg
etables. Boiling water or intense
oven heat are necessary TO soften
;he woody fibers of turnips, pars-
nlps and the like They also must
be quickly cooked in a generous
amount of water. These precau-
tions prevent them from becoming
soggy and unappetizing both in
taste and appearance. Add salt to
root and tuber vegetables when
they are about half cooked. These
vegetables require more salt than
the delicate summer vegetables.
kohl-rabi is delicious served in
a mock Hollandaise sauce.
Turnips in piquant sauce are so
very good that one would mistrust
their humble origin.
Kale Scalloped with bacon is
nourishing and appetizing.
Baked beets are superior to or
dinary boiled beets.
Carrot timbales served with
white sauce make an excellent
main dish for luncheon or supper.
Following are the recipes for
two of these unusual vegetable
dishes.
