 Cream puffs are made of what is technically called "choux paste" They really are form of pastry and are peculiar in that they are twice cooked.
 Although they always are pop ular, one of their chief merits lies in their excellent keeping qualities. They can be made several days before they are wanted, but must not be filled before using; the fill- ing tends to make the case soggy if allowed to stand in 1t more than an hour. However, the filling process is simple and takes only 6 few minutes.
 Since the shell is not sweet, 1t need not be used exclusively for dessert. but can take the place of . patty shell for a creamed meat or fish. If grated cheese Is added with the flour, the case is good for holding salad as well as hot creamed mixture.
 When 1t comes to using puff shells for 8 dessert, the wide vari- ety of filings available makes 1t possible to vary the dessert In many ways. Custards of various flavors. ice cream, fresh fruits and fruit whips all are lnVltlnS when served in a crisp puff shell.
 Choux paste is the foundation for both eclairs and cream puffs. The shape of the finished pastry proclaims it's name.
 The following rule will make twelve medium-sized puffs. One puff Is allowed for each per son to be served. The only rub" about making this paste comes with the beating. Each egg must be thoroughly beaten into the dough separately and this pro- cedure requires muscle. However. the result justifies the effort.
 
 Puff Shells
 One cup boiling water, 1-2 cup butter, IA teaspoon salt, l cup flour, 3 eggs.
 Put butter, water and salt into a. smooth sauce pan and bring quickly to the boiling point. When bubbling, add sifted flour all at once. To do this. turn the flour into the butter and water in one

Because Barbara looked so wor- ried as she ran up the hospital steps, Sue laughed softly. And with the laughter came a new knowl- edge. Barbara was afraid of her.
 Sue caught her breath at that It gave her confidence in her own maybe she, Sue Merryman, could exert some influence on Jean.
 "I'll let her think it." Sue told herself. Tt won't hurt her to be un- comfortable for while. And now she may sit in the reception room of the hospital and wait for me as long as she wants to. I'm not coming"
 Just before she fell asleep, drift ing in a nebulous world, half awake and half not, Sue saw the motion picture news reel again. For an instant Jacks face was very near. Then 1t went drifting with the shadows, and once again the group moved awey in the distance, grow ing smaller and smaller, until the last one had vanished over the skyline.
 Sue groped her way to wakeful- ness. She sat up, suddenly fright ened. That going away was like an omen. Did it mean something?
 She couldn't sleep for a long time, and when she finally did her dreams were troubled, fragmentary sorts of things. She was trying to run, trying to scream, trying to climb. Always trying to do some- thing, never quite succeeding. She was glad when morning came, but the sky outside was gray and uninteresting. When life was tuned to sombre music, mornings were the hardest time of the day through which to live. Love songs might chant about lonesome gloamings, heartsick twilights, Sue thought, but they weren't so hard to bear. The setting, during the time when day was drifting into night, seemed to be made for rememberings, haunting old dreams. It caught them in a web and found their beauty.
 But morning was stark. It pre- sented a task and demanded it's do- ing with acknowledging the fact that people might have unpleasant memories to carry with them. Dusk, lonely time that it was, used it's stars and shadows to make the wound easier.
 At the office there was some work to do. Three patients were sched- uled for that morning. But by aft ernoon they had been attended to. and the man who had aroused Sues attention, when he mentionel some papers for which an attorney had been sent west, was due. But he didn't come.
 Sue watched the hands of the clock. She read all the stories in the magazine. She wondered if she would find letter from Jack when she reached home. She tried to de- eide what to do with the whole evening. She wanted five o'clock to come, so she could leave, and yet she dreaded to have 1t come. for it meant just another stretch of lone- liness. She would have to go down the street, indifferent faces all around her, and eat alone at a tearoom or restaurant some where. Courtesy demanded that she drop in to see Jean for a few minutes, but she didn't want to find Barbara there.
 She decided that she would go in, on her way home. Barbara would probably be gone by that time. But she wasn't.
 The purple eyes were almost blue

cinct words into a mouthpiece be- fore locking the booth. This may be a hell of a wild goose chase" Give offered, keep ing his foot on the accelerator until the dial hand spun to 70, "but it's the only way we know. There may be clue" In the mirror he could see the lights of the big car behind. Grimly he kept that patent shod foot on the gas speed. There was sort of relief in driving furi- ously.
 Fool, idiot, dolt! He cursed himself roundly and silently as he drove. To think he had permit ted the child to get out of his sight for . single moment, espe- cially after that anonymous let ter he had received a few days before.
 Watch out" the letter had said. "The Powers don't want this marriage to go through. Be warned" 1t had been signed Well Wisher," and Give had laughed it off as the work of some harmless crank. We'll, he knew better now. God, to think. of Liane in the hands of gangsters!
 That's a police car up ahead, MT Cleespaugh," the man beside him said after g. minute. Better draw up."
 Two youngsters in uniform, six footers both, thrust their heads out of the Ford and one asked, Where the hell d'you think you're going?"
 Officer McHugh leaned out into the glare shed by the dashlight You kids get along there and let the law take its course" he ad- vised presently. "Mr Cleespaugh and I are on the trail of a Jer- sey sedan. Seen one this way?"
 "The woods are full of 'em," one of the young policemen said. Then, "Say-I did notice those fellers in one that passed a few minutes ago. The driver was all dressed up but had a cap on. I said to myself that was kinda funny"
 Give cried. "Did you notice if there was anyone in the back seat?"
 "The shade was down. I didn't think much O. that because some of these birds don't like the lights on the mirror"

 Nathalia spoke from a hospital bed, about which fluttered an anx- ious mother. But it was no phys ical frailty or illness that sent the author there. During her vacation at Scarsdale, N. r., where she rode and swan and hiked every day, she had ripped in jumping down from an automobile rumble seat and strained some muscles Tn her side.
 "Nathalia," declared her mother, "always has been treated like an ordinary child because we've felt she would want 1t so, and because we didn't want to be robbed of her col/panionship. It's true that we've been worried sometimes. On her first books. The Janitor's Boy,' and Lava Lane,' she'd get writing streaks when she completely ig- nored her father and me, her friends, her meals, everything.
 "We didn't let her start to school at all until she was seven and a half, and then we sent her to pub lie schoo.. In three years she had won the Mary $. Snow scholarship as an Especially gifted child It paid her tuition through Brooklyn Heights Seminary"

NANCY PAGE One Supmer Garden Keeps
 Peter Busy
 By Florence Ia Ganke

The doctor had said that Nancy was to stay out of doors as much as possible. She was not to go in for strenuous exercise, but, he added, there was no reason why she should coddle herself and sit around doing nothing. Consequent ly she was still Peters right hand gardening assistant.
 August is a busy month for gar- deners. Not only do things have to be done to the present garden but preparations must be made for the garden of the coming year.
 For instance, Peter was setting out strawberry plants for next seasons fruit. He was careful to make a selection of plants so that the Page family were assured Of early and late berries.
 He wanted to add few ever greens to his front yard landscape architecture. These, he knew, could be put in now successfully 1T he kept them well watered until freezing weather.

 YOURSELF

The color of makeup used by older women is tremendously inn portant in relation to their hair coloring.
 If you have white hair, don't use rose colored rouge and ltp- stick. Just go out and buy a nice, vivid, dark red rouge and try it. You'll be surprised how much younger look it gives you.
 Somewhere along the line there is much s-understanding about the color of rouge to use when you are 40 or over.
 Usually rose colored, the ashes of roses type, or rouge and lip- stick make the skin look older, less vital and fresh than a dis tinctly carmin red.
 The same Is true With fading hair. If you are using henna, then don't try rose colored rouge at all. Get an orange red that goes well with your hair tint. If your tint is black, then try one of the deep, rich reds that have a touch of crimson in them.
 In summer time, don't use quite as much of anything in the way of makeup as you do in winter. The thought of too much rouge makes you hot. The thought of rich, nourishing creams does the same. Use lighter creams, lighter touches in applying them, lighter amounts of rouge and powder over them.
 It Is hard to settle the question of powder shades for older wo- men without seeing them. Or with out knowing if they are summer ing at the. seashore or mountains and getting tanned. Or if they are working at home or at busi- ness and look bleached and un- healthy. But the best rule for choosing any powder shade any, time is to try it. Stores encour- age this. They always have sam ples so you can make up right there and see yourself for your self.
 Every older woman should use cream powder base for summer time. It will keep the powder from rolling off your nose and leaving it shiny. It enables you to apply your. makeup much more skillfully. And every older woman should use one of the new youthifying face tonics. These soft unguents actually spread kind of charm over face. They give the illu- sion of soft. young skin. And in this day and age, the illusion Is quite as effective as the real

His Iris had grown os prolific ally that he was dividing and re- planting them. He did moderate amount of pruning of some of the deciduous trees. It was easier to do 1t now than late in the fall when the leaves had fallen. He washed all the earthenwarc flower pots, being careful to re- move any traces of mold. He re- aired his cold frame.

1YOUR CHILDREN

The baby's room, with every thing washable, of course floors, walls and woodwork-is usually his playroom as well as his bedroom.
 Every mother knows how a play room gets cluttered with toys all over the place, so the wise house. keeper and a good mother will, if possible, set a low set of shelves to place against the wall, upon which the toys .an be placed when not in use. Any kind of shelf or shelves VII do so long as they are low eno2gh for the toddler to reach. They can be bought in pastel shades tu match the room, or pro- cured unpainted and enameled at home. The quick-drying enamels sold now take the ain't out of paint. Try your hand and your pride will start to boil over.
 Gu Bargain Hunting
 Well, we have the shelf now, so let us see what else the little room should ho:d. The bed with its fiat mattress and not too springy springs, we take it for granted, is already there. If not, put on your hat and glasses and look at price tags. You'll be surprised. It pays to shop around for young furni- ture and nose out the bargains. It's worth trip to town if you are in the country.
 Now we get a bit into psychol- ogy. We believe in teaching eff ciency and self-reliance early. The baby mus: learn as soon as he can to go and get things for himself. Can he haul out big bureau draw CTS that stick or topple over on him? Certainly not. Little low bureaus with good handles and drawers that slide in and out at a touch almost, answer this problem. They, too, can be bought unpaint- ed if yoi like and given a new complexion at home. But please remembec they must be small and let me repeat that the drawers must not stick.
 Low Table Is Needed
 No neei to say that little chairs and a low table for tea parties and cutting out and making things just cannot b3 "done without" Watch that surfaces are smooth and con- tain no splinters. If there is de- feet soma place, scrape 1t smooth. 1 had to do that with some lawn chairs this summer to save our stockings. Quite frequently little barbering improves things turned out of furniture factories by the thousand lots. But few dollars saved Is worth a little filing, think. However, don't anticipate snags. Most furniture is perfect.
 It Is ni3e for the baby to have his own low rack to hold his clothes over night. He should, however, have q low towel rack for himself in the bathroom. He can reach then, his own washing things. A little stool to stand on before the washstand is another convenience.
 Make Ire baby's world little low, cozy world. Then he will take an interest in doing things for him. self.
