 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER xxvI
 Norma spread the newspaper out On the living room table. She bent over it, frowning slightly as she studied a column. The words were in fine print and very black. Norma pursed her lips as she read:
 "Truss the bird. Rub a little butter over it and dredge with Hour, salt and pepper. Put in roast ing pan and place in hot oven. Baste at frequent intervals"
 The three little wrinkles In the Eirl's forehead deepened. Somehow the instructions sounded compli- eated. She went on reading until she had finished the column.
 It was last nights edition of the Press that lay before her. opened to the woman's page. In two col umns on the right-hand side Sis- ter Sarah, the home economies editor, gave menus and recipes for the Thanksgiving dinner. There were three menus-one elaborate and formal with roast turkey the main dish, one in which duck was the piece de resistance, and a sim- pier meal in which the fowl was chicken.
 Sister Sarah wrote of traditional seasonable delicacies. Of course there must be dressing and gravy with the bird. Celery and cran- berry sauce and all the harvest vegetables were synonymous with Thanksgiving. For dessert either mince pie or pumpkin and there'd be no harm in having doughnuts and cider and squares of cheese handy fer an evening lunch. Sis ter Sarah wrote about old fashioned festivities at Grandmother's so that you could almost see an old white farm house and a jolly family gathered about the table waiting for second helpings.
 Thanksgiving was three days away. For week Norma had been thinking about the holiday. Mark would not have to go to the store and the rest would be fine thing for him. So much of the time lately Mark had looked tired.
 Cooking the Thanksgiving din- ner was a challenge to Norma's housewifely ability. She was eager to show her skill and at the same time a little anxious. She had read every word in Sister Sarah's column for several days.
 Turkey. of course. was out of the question. Imagine cooking a tur- key for two! Chicken seemed com monplace. Norma made her deci- sion therefore in favor of duck. She was concentrating this morn- ing on the printed instructions for roasting a duck.

 It might be simple to someone who knew exactly what it all meant. What was blasting" and how frequent was frequent in- tervals"?
 Suddenly an inspiration popped into the girls head. She went to the telephone.
 'I'd like to speak to Miss Saun- ders," she informed the girl who answered. Another moment and she heard Chris voice.
 Hello, Chris. How are you? Oh fine, of course! Listen. is it all right to interrupt your business hours to ask advice about cook ing. It is? Well-that's lucky be- cause there's something just have to know. I want to have roast duck for dinner Thursday and can you tell me what I'm supposed to do with 1t after I get 1t home from the meat market?"
