Liver is one of the most important
meats in respect to the protein and

with round and Sirloin steak. Liver
also contains all three vitaminS. No

Chicken liver is slightly higher in pro-

Try this: Place an unopened can OF
salmon in a saucepan surrounded by
boiling water, to heat for 10 or 1e
minutes. While this is cooking, pre-
pare a boiled salad dressing. When
opening the can of salmon, place q
cloth over most of the can, make 9
small hole in the top to allow the steam
to escape, and cut around the entire
edge so that the fish can slide out with
out breaking on to hot plttaer. Poul

and serve at once. Fresh salmon may
be Simmered and served in the same
way.

Each year there are some unscrupu-

tiers with water. If oysters are bled
almost white and bleached, with soft
spongy flesh of little flavor and nc
salty taste to the meat, and if the
liquor is thin and watery, they prob
ably have been adulterated with water

(From U. S. Dept. of Agriculture)
When making apple jelly flavor a
few jars with mint and add vegetable
green ccloring. This is appetizing to
serve with lamb.

Experiments by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture with several hundred
chickens showed that there is more
deterioration in freSh-dresSed chicken
after being kept days in the house
hold ice box than there is in properly
prepared storage chicken that has been
frozen for months. There is little
if any difference in taste between the
fresh dressed poultry and poultry that
has been stored for or months and
then properly thawed. 1t is better, say
poultry experts of the department, for
the housewife to buy storage poultry
while still frozen and prepare it i'm
mediately after defrosting. The best
way to defrost it is to hang it in an
ordinary ice box over night.

Mathews shrewdly. You weren't

she was You went back to

Mathews, knowing this much
of the story well enough, as
far as Travers himself knew
it. And when that home was
broken up she came out to
America as companion to an
elderly woman" this part of
the story Mathews had con-
cocted himself-"and quite by

in the paper and came out to
see her in order to discover If,
by any chance, she was a re-

"She did try to trace you.
But she was i'll some time after

her, you told me, one letter on
your return to the front. She
never received it nor the letters
you were able to send from the
prison camp. Remember, you
were reported missing" he went
on and Travers nodded. What
more natural than for her to
think that you were dead?
Then, when the war was over,
you were sent straight home,
still an invalid from your crash,
without an opportunity to go
to London and find her. You
wrote to the old address after
your return. She had moved
away. Convinced of your

you further. Try to think of
her instead of yourself. 1t is

NEW YORK.-There's one
word-or name-you're going
to hear a lot this spring when
ever fashion is mentioned. And
that's "Vionnet" pronounced

accent on the Vee), the name
of one of the most important
Paris designers.
And every time you hear
that name or read it in a

fashion magazine, you can be
sure it stands for something
interesting. More than that
for something that's easy to
wear, becoming to wear, fash
ionable to wear.
Spring fashion has many
Vionnet details in it-collars,
sleeves, belts, ETC., of the type
that Madeleine Vionnet likes to
use in her smart costumes.

Some Of these details you al

they've been fashionable for sew

After a moment Travers held
out his hand.
"All right, Doc" he said.
Mathews rose, and stood look

hopeful of the success of his
arguments. He had, he knew,

net three years ago and one Of
the most important fashions Of
this winter.
It's a silhouette that's easy
to wear because it's adjustable
to the figure, and because it
can be worn without a belt, if
belts aren't becoming.
Another Vionnet detail you're
already familiar with is the
Surplice or diagonal closing
line in dresses and blouses.

Fashionable COwIS Are Seen
Like the wide wrap-around
of coats, it's easy to wear be-
cause it's adjustable to the fig.

ally becoming to large figures.
This spring you're going to
find dresses and blouses and
suits and jackets and coats
with this diagonal closing. !
The coWl neckline, fashion

The coffee gave me strength.
got up and paced the floor.
A Charming Garden
The windows of my room
looked out on a beautiful
garden, the air was like a
tonic, the sun poured in at the
window, and I could see
through the glass, along one Of
the long, broad, smooth, wind
ing roads of California.
It called to me as the Sirens
called to the Shipwreck mar
inerS in the old, old story.
If I could get out, if I could
only step into car and whizz
down that long, smooth, wind
ing road, away, away, away,
into freedom-again.
just as I was trying to plan
some way of escape I saw my
mother drive up to the
entrance of the house.
She was not so feet away
from my window!
Plan of Escape
Like a flash a plan of escape
rushed into my brain.
I ran into my bathroom,
twisted off the steel rack, put
there to hold wash cloths. I
bent the steel bars back and
forth. back and forth, until I
broke one off, then I twisted
it free at the other end. I had
in my hands a steel tube about
five inches long. I tucked it
inside my dress.
An instant later an >attend-
ant opened my door, and told
me my mother was waiting for
me.
I followed the attendant into
the visitors room.
My mother gathered me into
her arms and kissed me tend
erly.
How do you like it here,
darling" she said.
Fine" said I. I'm sure
thev can cure me here"
We talked together, my
mother and I. I told her of
my beautiful rooms, my delici-
Gus breakfast, and the fine
streaming sunshine that poured
into my bedroom.
All the time we were talking
I was watching the group of
nurses standing in the hall,
near the open front door.
There were six of them, all
tall, Strong, determined women,
with quick, watchful eyes, and
firm, Self-controlled mouths.
Afraid To Wait
After a life time, it seemed to
me, three of them walked away
Il was afraid to wait any
longer.
Through the open window I
could see Fred, our chauffeur,
doing in the front seat.

Turning to Mother, I asked
her for a dollar. To give to a
nurse, explained.
