What's she afraid of-that III
tell Prentiss she was engaged to

Mrs. Everett did not answer di-
rectly, but Beryl could see by her
mothers expression that she had
hit the nail on the head.
IT thought she'd be afraid Of
that!" she exulted. ''Ill bet she
never told Prentiss a word about
Tommy. Well, Prentiss wouldn't

Everett declared, land you

she was interrupted by the ring

DERYL opened the door to a
- messenger boy who was wais-

popular on the radio.
''Not for you, Miss Velvetan," he
said as he handed her a yellow en-
velope. "But you can sign. I guess

him. wait minute and I'll get

"It's all I've got" Beryl said de-

she handed him another dime.

Irene put out a soft chubby hand

tore it open quickly.
T kilograms were too unusual in her
life to be taken calmly. The mes

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

WHEN Tommy was in condition
w to talk, he and Beryl climbed
upon the big rock and let the water
wash around it without concern.
Wading out wouldn't matter now.
They already we're wet.
The sun was quite warm and
they would dry out pretty we'll in a
little while. Beryl did not want to
stay too long, being anxious to get
Tommy home before the whole
town saw him. Walking home in
wet shops wouldn't matter-but
dripping wet
Even now Tommy wasn't fully re-
covered. He could talk, but Beryl
realized she had to be blunt in what
she said to him.
She did not tell him at once what
was on her mind, but asked ques-
tons about himself. She thought if
he talked his mind would clear
faster.
Tommy told her, somewhat inco-
herently. about the sale of the the
ater and the loss Of his job Homes
ty compelled him, when Beryl be-
rated his uncle, to admit that Mr..
Hoffman had got him another job
But 1 wouldn't take it," he add
ed with burst of ire. 1.-THE guy
called up yesterday and 7 told him
to go to the devil"
What was it?" Beryl asked.
"Cleanin' out cesspools. Can y
imagine?"
Beryl wanted to laugh, but she
wouldn't. Her sense OF humor. as
she frequently reminded herself,
wasn't a proper one.
She said soberly, 'fYou might get
a job at the Majestic" and held
her breath. Now he would say
whether he was going away or not.
He only shook his head and NUT
tered that They're satisfied with
Harvey"
Beryl answered irnpatientIy: "I
know, but 1 didn't mean you might
get Harvey's job. He's only the
manager. while you can do any
thing, Tommy"
"Quit your braggin' about me"
he grunbled. You'll be tellin' me
I could be a speshlist in cleanin'
cesspools n minute. N I won't
take the job"
mo, OF course you won't" Beryl
said soothingly, you'll get a good
Job, because naturally you've got to
show your uncle =. and Irene,
that you're no bum"
She was using the psychology
she'd use with child and knew
1t, but she thought Tommy wouldn't
know, in his present condition. She
expected him to rise to the mention
Of Irene's name, which had been
deliberate. He did.
Irene broke our engagement" he
said thickly.
Because you lost your job?''
Beryl asked, to find out If he knew
about Prentiss.
But Tommy would not answer the
question. A stubborn loyalty to
Irene forbade it.
do you want her back again2''
Beryl asked sharply.
Tommy turned and looked at her
His eyes were wells Of misery
Want her back?" he repeated
wonderingly.
DERYL was thinking that Irene
ID might scurry back into her en-
gagement to Tommy like a fright

to break the affair with Prentiss.

| that is easily arranged. Don't add Co
| conut to the pie filling, but sprinkle II
generously over the top Of the pie. II
may then be very easily pushed aside
without attracting any attention. Also
this is a good pie to serve if there are
children to come to the table.
You may without too much trouble
make them small cuStardS in individual
pie dishes and without any crust. They
will not feel sighted and will not mind
the difference between their pie" and
yours.
OF course one doesn't ordinarily begin
at the end of meal, but while we are
on the pie question we may as well take
down the recipe.
For coconut cuStard pie you will need
one unbaked pie shell, one-half tea
spoonful vanilla, three eggs, three cups
milk, one-third cup sugar, one-half OF
one cup coconut, one-fourth teaspoonful
salt, one-fourth teaspoonful nutmeg.
This will be enough for one large
deep pie. Or for one medium-siZed pie
and two or three small custards for the
children.
When you put the dough in the pie
tin build it up high around the sides, SC
that the filling will not run out and the
pie may be deeper. A one-crust pie
grows more and more attractive as II
grows deeper and deeper.
You may use four eggs If you want
a richer or more nouriShing filling be-
cause of the children.
Add coconut to the custard before
you put it in the oven, II you like. and
sprinkle bit more over the top. Toast
the coconut in the oven before putting
it on the pie, If you prefer.
Don't bake the pie too fast. Have the
oven at about AIS to start with, but
after 10 minutes lower it to 375 and

lightweight material will make good
sized rug. These rugs are reversible
and washable.
Braided.
A braided rug is made by cutting ma
terial of any kind or color into strips
about an inch wide and braiding the
strips together If heavyweight ma
terial is used, it may need to be only
half an inch wide, while very light
weight material will need to be about
two inches wide. After cutting all the
strips that you will need, fasten the
ends of three strips together and braid
them into plain braid half an inch
wide. When you have reached the end
of one strip, place another strip on the
end and continue to braid until you
have enough to make your rug of the
right size. When all the material is
braided, sew the material into shape
with large needle and No. 90 thread.
To shape, lap back the end of the braid
10 inches and sew together. Lay this
fiat on a table and continue to sew
around and around until the rug is as
large as you want. Take great care to
keep the rug perfectly fiat while sewing,
also be careful when blending the coll
ors. Braid all the strings of one color
before starting with another color. This
braidS are sewed together.
LinoIeum Rugs.
There are two special kinds of lino-
leum on the market. One kind is
printed and the other kind is inlaid, the
difference being that the pattern is
only printed upon the surface of the
Aforementioned, while the colorS in the
inlaid hnoleum are carried by q definite
process straight through to the back.
The design wears of from printed lino-
leums but not from the inlaid. To pre-
serve printed linoleun, use floor varnish
on 1t once or twice year, but give your
inlaid linoleum only monthly coating
of high-grade floor wax polish.
An old discarded linoleum rug can be
made into a very good rug for a sun
porch. First, clean and trim the edges
smooth If they are broken or frayed,
and cut into any size rug that you may
like. Coat with good porch paint in
any desired color. One coat will be
enough, then dry. For border, If you
do not care to buy q stencil, cut one
from stiff brown paper or cardboard
and paint over the stencil pattern,
using a contrasting color. There are
many colorful transfers that you can
buy for decorating. At last over all
apply a good clear floor varnish.
To Store Rugs.
Use care in storing your rugs, espe-
cially Orientals and others. Clean them
first, then roll tightly over a pole.
Wrap in heavy paper that can be sealed
at both ends. Store in a clean, cool,
dry place, UP of the floor.

finish baking at that temperature. Il
Is done when the crust is Drowned and
when q silver knife blade thrust into
the cllstard comes out clean. It will
take about an hour to bake. Serve cold.
You may get a very good cocktail
sauce for shrimp and oyster cocktail
at the grocery store nowadays, put up
In bottles. Or make your own by mix
ing tomato catsup, chilli sauce and Ia
basco sauce to piquancy to suit your
taste.
In the bottom of the cocktail glass
put one raw oyster. Fill with Shrimps
been mixed and chilled. Put one large
oyster on top and a parsley plume.
Serve very cold with wafer or two, If
you like.
Boil your ham slowly in unsalted
water for about three hours or until the
skin is loose and the bone cracks. Re
move to a platter and peel the skin off
the top. Score the fat in small squares
or diamonds. Stick a whole Glove in
each square. To cook nicely a half
ham will have to be baked (after the
boiling process) two and half or three
hours.
Make paste of three tablespoonful
of flour, five tablespoonfuls of brown
paste over the top of the ham and pour
the rest of the bottle of ginger ale in
the pan. The ham will brown beauti-
fully and have lovely, shiny top as
well as an excellent flavor
If you were using a slice OF ham, It
wouldn't need to be boiled. Soak it for
half an hour in cold water. Then dot
with cloves and sprinkle over it little
brown sugar. Pour the ginger ale
around it and haste occasionally. Use
ham about an inch and half thick.
Serve in slices cut from top to bottom,
not croSSways.
If you use the half ham and have
some left, grind or chop it and make
croquettes. Make a very thick white
sauce and add ham. Let cool. Shape
into patties, dip in -four, then beaten
egg, then bread or cracker crumbs and
fry in deep fat.
If you have some of the leftover
ground ham left, make French fried
sandwiches. Trim crusts of bread,
spread one piece with mustard and the

Nov be it known that when you say
that a dinner is a good one TO
serve company, that doesn't mean that
it isn't good one to serve to a mere
family. In this case, however, unless
you have a fairly good sized family, it
would be better to buy a thick slice Of
ham than a whole half. 1t can be
cooked in almost the same way and
served with exactly the same sort of
things:
Shrimp and oyster Cocktail.
Baked Half Ham.
Buttered Onions.
Potatoes au Gratin.
Hot Rolls. Stuffed Fig Salad.
Coconut Custard Pie.
Have you ever served a coconut pie
for q company dessert? Perhaps not,
because lots Of people never think of 1t.
But it is popular pie, as you will see
if you watch it disappear at cafeterias.
