GARNISH FOR
MEATS
BY Hannah Wing

If you want your meals to
stand cut from among the usual
run of meals try this service Of
pineapple with meats. If one
has thought of this only as a
casual garnish in connection
with ham and lamb, the idea
should be revised to read steak.
pork, duck, chicken and game.
For the pineapple flavor is
most distinguished when COM
bined with meats. Not only
sauted and served in slices. but
made into sauce, or as support
for a brown gravy, or-as we
did it for a service Of chicken
breastS-combined with currant
jelly and a bit Of butter to
make a garnish and sauce in
one. This is as delicate and
rare as any combination Of fla
vors could ever be.
Pineapple slices with all their
juice, baked with slice Of ten
der ham, add something to the
ham that nothing else can, and
make a perfectly sauced dish
with one operation. Steak,
beautifully broiled and coming
to the table on Sauted slices Of
pineapple. is the best of all pos
Sible ways to serve steak. And
the same holds true of the ham
burg steak served with a pine
apple relish.
It is easy to make fritterS,
and If the pineapple juice is
allowed to form part of the
liquid in the batter, there is a
distinct flavor Of pineapple all
through the fritter, or you may
serve them with a pineapple
sauce made by using one cup
of Juice with one-fourth cup Of
sugar and cooking together for
a minute or two. Then thicken
slightly with aCteaspoon of corn
starch dissolved in a little cold
water, cook for five minutes.
add juice of half a lemon, and
color, If you desire, either red
or yellow. This should be
cooked slightly before using.
And it is delicious on the pine
apple fritterS served with any
meat.

CONTINUED from Yesterday

That night. when All Ling
had left, Ardeth went to the
little alley in the rear OF the
shop.
The quick winter night had
fallen. 1t was black and cold
in there. Tall loft buildings
frowned down on two sides.
The end of the blind alley
was formed by her own little
shop.
Ardeth had left the night
lamp burning in the rear room
and now she pressed her face
to the window pane where the
paint had worn thin.
Objects in the room were
plainly visible through the pink
light. Anyone in there would
be recognizable to one watch.
ing from the alley.
Just SO had Cyril Underhill
stood peering in that night
Ken had come down here,
broken and lonely. He had
watched that impassioned scene.
He had seen Ken leave in
the early morning hours.
The girl closed her eyes for
a moment and Shivered.
The thought was like a snake
coiled in her path. She re-
painted the window paneS. She
hung heavy curtains before it
and drew them close at night.
But she could not draw a cur
tain over that disduieting
knowledge in her own mind.

GREENS FOR
ALL YEAR

Since science has demon
Strated the vital Importance of
green's in the all-year diet, espe-
cially for children, more and
more housewives are recognizing
the Importance of preserving
the leafy vegetables from the
spring garden so that they may
be available for the fall and
winter months.
Now is the time to prepare
for canning the coming crops
of spinach, kale, charm, turnip
tops, dandelions, broccoli and
the other green's when they are
at their tendereSt and richest
in mineral and vitamine con-
tent. The Farm Journal, in its
current issue, offers the. follow
ing essential rules for successful
canning:
1. All green's, to be at their
best, should be canned within
II hours after picking.
2. Wash thoroughly in warm
water, then rinse several times
in cold.
8. To shrink green's before
packing them into the jar, pre-
cook in open kettle 10 minutes,
using as little water as pos
Sible so as to preServe the
maximum of mineral content.
Steaming them in the top of a
large boiler for IS to 20 min
utes will serve this purpose
even better.
4. Pack greens loosely into
clean, hot jars, with a rubber
jar-ring to seal.
5. Add one level teaspoonful
Of salt to each quart jar. Pour
the hot liquid in which the
green's were precooked over the
content of the jar. If there is
not enough liquid to fill, add
boiling water to within a half
inch of the top, making sure
that liquid penetrateS all the
space between the leaves.
6. Adjust tops of jars firmly
but not air tight-beforN
placing them in Gamer filled
with boiling water.
7. Leave jars immersed in
boiling water for three hodrs-
or two and a half hours where
lemon juice is added to aid
proceSsing-and upon removing
them, complete sealing imme-
diately.
8. If canning is completed
in oven instead of boiling
water, be sure heat is $50 de-
grees F., have jars partly sealed
as before, and process for three
hours before SamoVtn6.

JOURNEYS IN
BRIEF

The University of Cracow is
one of the most historic
seats of learning in all Europe.
It was here that Copernicus,
who was to become one Of the
worlds most famous astrono-
merS, enrolled as a student, and
in the secrecy Of a walled court,
made the discoveries which were
so opposed to the then popular
theological teachings that they
could not be disclosed until
after his death.
This was in 1543, when the
university was almost 200 years
old. His signature in the en-
rollment register, his instru-
ments-all are still in the old
university.
Many new buildings have
been added, but there is enough
of the Old to make it one of the
most enhancing spots in the
whole city of Cracow.

Mary Is Consulted

"Oh-of course! OF course!"
She was crying.
well Good-by. I
want to see you, of course, but
it's too dangerous. But I had
to talk to you. Good-by, sweet
heart"
"Ken!" she cried. But the
click on the wire told her that
he had hung up.
She replaced the receiver.
Looked about the room with
vacant eyes as one coming out
of a daze. Fortunately, there
was no one in here.
She went swiftly to the rear
room. Washed her hot face.
Patted it with the powder puff.
She found herself wondering
how Ken had discovered the
article.
She was not to find out the
answer to that until she went
out to see Mary Eastwood later
in the week.
Fred was out of town on buSi-
ness and Ardeth and Mary had
a light and early dinner with
the Chickadee in the nursery.
It was not until they had re-
turned to the living room-the
violently protesting Chickadee
having been put to bed-that
Ardeth found an opportunity to
open the subject.
"You saw The Spy for this
week, Mary?"
Mary reached back a lazy
tanned arm and pulled the cord
of the bridge lamp. The room
sunk to q warm glow of freight
out of which Mary's rich voice
rose Scornfully.

I should like to assure this
mother that she has nothing to
worry about. Not all boys OF
this age behave as she de-
scribes. But so many of them
do that it may honestly be
said that even the ways Of a
lovely and coquettish woman,
mysterious as these are sup
posed to be, have less mystery
for the onlooker than the queer
ways Of a 17-year-old boy.
Have you a brother Of IT?
or a son? Notice how the COM

him vary so greatly that it
seems as if they couldn't refer
to the same person.
A girl of his own age who
has danced with him a few
times will say he is hilarlously
amusing, bubbling over with
the JOY of life, charmingly con-
siderate, or, in short, in her
own words, terribly cute"
His mother, between her sobs,
expresses her belief that he is
the victim of an intense chonlc
melancholy and her fear that
he is stricken with a fatal
disease.
His sister coolly tosses off
the impression that he is per-
fectly well but, really, the most
disagreeable boy she has ever
seen.
The truth is that nothing is
the matter except that the
poor lad is getting fitted into

a man, and that he suffers in
the process. The change will oe

way, is a good deal exagger-

young man of the world that he
may seem to the 16-year-old girl
who, before you know it, will be

heart out for love of him.
And on the other hand, he
isn't the selfish young boor that
his rather spoiled sister may
think him, or the youthful mon

He's only a nice boy with
curly hair, perhaps, or a particu-

family than they suspect; with
a secret belief that nobody un-
derstands him, and with a hope,
equally secret, to count for
something big in the world.
It is mothers who are most
likely to see through all this

Mud at the bottom of a small

it was considered worthless and
a serious obstacle to navigation

l the memorial rose garden. Four teen beds of roses have been plant : cd from the Erwin fund.
 City to Have Water Lilies Proceeding westward from the memorial rose garden. the nature lover walks through beds contain ing geraniums. past dozens of rock gardens in which are plants of many varieties and arrives amidst the iris gardens where thousands of iris of 15S different varieties will bloom this year. Added to the flowers mentioned are many noun tain daisies, pansies and. for the first time in the history of New Britain, water lilies.
 The lily pond, the center of an attractive bit of scenic beauty, de- signed and built by Superintendent Ellingwood was tried out yesterday and now holds water. The entire job will be completed shortly.
 Water from the overflow at the wadinG pool is permitted to run through a four inch pipe buried in the ground, down the hill 10 the driveway leading down from the monument. Here the pipe crosses under the road and then suddenly shoots up the other bank. The four inch pipe is reduced to two jnches here and a combination pressure and siphon arrangement carries the water to the top of the opposite bank. Here it will be released into 6 small open brook with sand and rock bottom, bubbling over the moss covered rocks for about 150 feet, where it will run into a large pool. Water ferns and flowers will be planted along the brook and pink and white water lilies will grow in the pond. MT. Ellingwood has had an offer from at least one local per son who would like to donate some of the water lilies.
 Just as picturesque will be the overflow from the pind. The water again will be led out through a sandy-rocky brook northwest to a high rock point just where the driveway swings around from the hospital and starts eastward toward the West Main street park entrance. Here the stream will disappear amidst a heavy clump of foliage, only to appear in a brilliant water fall, splashing and dropping height of about 10 feet to the roadway where a ditch alongside the road will carry it off.
 MT. Ellingwood expects to- have the job completed within few weeks. The job has been viewed several times by park commission CTS and is said to have the enthusi- astic approval of Mayor Paonessa. No extra appropriation was needed, tenance funds.

SPRING PARK WORK
 BEING CARRIED 0N
Two Entrances to War Memorial
 Are Under Construction

Two new entrances to the memo rial at Walnut Hill park arc being constructed simultaneously instead of one as popularly supposed. While the Hayes Construction Co. has started eXcavating for the $30,- | 900 entrance on the north side, to include concrete walks, plaza, seats and flower garden, Park Superin- 1 tcndent Clyde M. Ellingwood has started on his own accord to build another entrance on the Grand street side. directly opposite the main entrance to the New Britain General hospital.
 The entrance on the south side consists of a flight of concrete steps now almost complete, leading to a cindcr path which will wind through the memorial rose garden and then to the monument.
 Spring Planting Under Way
 Mr. Ellingwood has added be- tween 15 and 20 extra men to his working force and has his spring work fairly well under way. Flower beds of tulips, pansies, daisies, rho dodendrons, roses, peonies and many other floral beauties have been started. Iris beds are found in dozens of places throughout the parks. New roadways and picnic grounds have been developed in a hitherto inaccessible part of the l Stanley Quarter park; the wading l pool is under construction at Wash ington park, new bridges, improved roadways and general improve ments are under way at Willow | Brook park. All the smaller parks | have been cleaned and raked and the rubbish hauled away. New Christmas trees have been placed in the smaller parks
 In Walnut Hill park the most mo- ticeablc improvement has been made. The entire hillside on the Grand street side from one end of | the park to tho other has been transformed. Until a year ago a place where grass fires were ire quent. the hillside now is a large flower garden. The memorial rose garden contains beds in circles, squares, rectangles, right angles and triangles in which arc growing thousands of rose bushes, many of them donated by local persons. A large circular bed in the center contains hundreds Of roses given by Judge w. C. Hungcrford. Nearby another fairly large bed contains q large number of rose bushes do- mated by Dr. Henry r.

 "I believe we're lost" returned Mr. Carew dismally. Tn fact l feel sure we are"
 That's cheerful. Well, what arc you going to do about it?"
 We must keep on, I suppose. At least until we come somewhere. This fog is very dangerous, and we ought to put up somewhere until 1t clears"
 But will it clear?" asked Jacque- line inconsequently.
 Not much likely to be any better until the morning. These coastal fogs usually get worse."s
 Jacqueline became even more thoughtful. Her wits were remark ably clear, and she was getting vcry suspicious of Mir. Carew. She had the feeling that instead of getting nearer to London they were getting further away from it.
 cic SoI Silthl, ollu plbSSHllS tA- actly as she had expected, the car stopped again with a whecze and q grunt, and the engine abruptly ceased it's musical hum.

 Jacqueline descended with him and stood by while he put his head under the hood.
 Presently he strengthened up. He saw Jacqucline standing by his side, her profile lighted up by the side lamps. The fog, instead of strengthening her hair, had made :t curl delightfully."-. This, with the mutinous curve of her lips and the sullen shoulder of her eyes, made her look even more alluring than usual.
 MT. Carew suddenly, and without the least notice, caught her in his arms. "Jacqueline, 1 love you." he cried wildly.

 After that Jacqueline set herself to enjoy life with a sort of desper ate earnestness, determined to get IS much value as possible out of the rapidly diminishing store of money which was left to her.
 But she found it uphill work. Many times every day she dis missed Teddy completely from her mind, and told herself sternly that she would not think of him again. But as subject for reflection she found him rather hard to dismiss
 She was relieved when Mir Carew came one afternoon. Any company was acceptable which would dis tract her thoughts, even if it did so unpleasantly.
 She found herself now sometimes thinking that she would be precious glad when this so-called glad time or hers was finished, and she had to go back and work for her living again. She had always found that when you had to work pretty hard for your living you had not nearly so much time to think of unhappy things. In places like Byrams par ticularly one did not have lot of time to reflect on unprofitabfe things.
 But MT. Carew had not come it seemed to suggest another eve ning's enjoyment.
 ''I want you to come with me to see a friend who wishes to see you, and is unhappily unable to come 10 you" he said.
 Good gracious, said Jacqueline. "What do you mean, MT. Carew? l have no friends?"
 You must allow me to differ from you there" he answered with 8, significant look. T for one must asked to be allowed count myself your friend"
 "Very nice of you" replied Jac- uueline. "Who is the other?"
 Mrs. Porter Mason
 Goodness gracious! Where is Mrs. Mason, and why does she want to see me, and-what is it all about, Mir. Carew?"
 T have found out at last where Mrs. Mason is," said CareW. "Sho is in the country, at a place called Talverton,' some 30 miles from here. She is staying with some friends. AS matter of fact she went home with them after the raid on the night club, and has been ill ever since. Shock, you know. She is still far from we'll went to see her yesterday, and she begged me to come again and bring you. She wants very much to see you"
 Couldn't Mrs. Porter Mason have written 70 me-"
 She has been too ill"
 But now? Does she expect m } to accept an invitation from you?"
 Not at all," replied Carew. "I have letter from her to you.'
 The letter explained the case ex- aotly as Carew had described it.
