he said, No doubt, but if you think
I'm trying to congratulate you you're
on the wrong track intirely.
Well G. pop, do you think store
would sell one loose skate to match
another loose one. or do you think III

mality in the home. This does not
mean that entrees as dishes are not
served, but merely not as separate
courses. In this aspect they become
more entremets than entrees proper
and assume a more delicate quality, or
perhaps should say q less hearty
character.
There are dishes which 1t would be
difficult to classify other than as
entrees and these may be hearty
enough for a main dish. The custom
Of serving them as such has grown in
favor. Not only is this true in the
home, but hotels and restaurants ex-
pect their customers to order entrees
thus, as will be noted on their luncheon
menus particularly.
From the above it will be seen that
entrees are as important in table foods
as ever. 1t is merely their status
which differs today from formerly. It
would appear that they have increased

veal outlets, braised calves, liver, chick

For several days the little
lady has been getting ready,
impatiently pushing up between the
sepals as her tubelike flower stem TURNS
yellow. The sepals seem to try 70
hold her back. as if to say, Not too
fast" But just before sunset on
warm evening the outside petals un-
furl SO suddenly that it seems almost
like a shout of Joy The petals that
had resembled a paraSol when closed
are opening. The sepalS are pushed
down and the crinkly, lemon-yelloW
petals. with their broad, notched mar
gins display themselves for all to see
There are eight sturdy stamens, SET
one at the middle of each petal aho
one between each two petals. At flrst
the stigma is egg-shaped and lies
below the anthers but, later on, IT
opens in the form of a cross ana
hangs slightly to one side of the
antAerS. The long, pale antherS dis
perse the cobwebby strings OF pollen.
The seed box is at the base OF the
flower stem. Only the moths with
long sucking tubes can partake OF the
sweet nectar with which the CuDe
filled. Butterflies and even de-
termined bee have been seen trying TO
get sip of the delectable sweet.
The primrose is a pretty plant ana
even in the Winter its rosette OF leaves
is attractive. The plant grows to be
three or four feet high, the upper part
bearing the blossoms and the lower
part the leaves, which are pointed and
tapering with ruffled edges. The leaves
show a few whitiSh veins on the sur
face and stand up in a most unusual
way. They have a short, pink stem,
which is swollen and joins the stalk
like bracket. The upper leaves are
very narrow The leafy bractS found
at the base of the flower grow to be
as long as the seed pod.
The little seed envelopes are four
sided. long and dark green. In Win
ter the seeds are packed into purpliSh-
brown masses on the dry stalks The
seed capsule resembles a pretty vase
with four f1aring pin-pointed tips. The
vase is lined with pale satin and the
brown seeds are cast from this dainty
urn and carried far away by the wind

COIFFUREs MAY CHANGE
 WITH SEASONS.
By Alicia Hart

WITH SEASONS.
 Every once in a while every woman looks into the mirror, siRhs, and wishes that she could snap out of her present face and try another.
 Of course you have to keep the eyes and nose and mouth that na- ture gave you. but you don't have to follow the same trend. year af- ter year, when 1t comes to a coif- fure. Ii Is possible to be daring one season. and demure the next. But make sure that your hair is aiding you by forming a proper frame for your face. no matter what one you are trying to strike.
 If you aren't sure just what to do about your hair. there is no one around to give you expert advice. and ydu can't reply on your own judgment, don't go in for severe style. Only perfect, classical fea- lures carry severity well. Most faces need the softening effect of a line that sweeps the forehead. or a curl or two.
 If you want curls, have your hair waved about the face. Avoid LiRnL, numerous WdVeS. lWO VI three soft; flat ones are much Iovelier than corkscrew effect that resembles furrowed field. Have the back of your hair curled into round curls. You must let the ends grow rather long before this can be accomplished success fully. Curling takes up several inches of hair length.
 You will be able to keep the curls in order b., winding them up on kid curlers or twisting them around a curling iron.
 Some women part their hair on the left side. Others choose the right. A few prefer to let the line go straight down the middle. Un- less you are fairly confident that the two sides of your face are pretty well balanced, your nose is straight and your cheeks are right, try a side part. It is more flatter- ing.

BURNS GETS AN
 UNEXPECTED GREETING

The tension in the office tight ened. Sue was waiting for the chief of the detectives to tell her what she was supposed to do. The off, cials were putting the main office in order, picking up the broken glass, arranging the blind at the door.
 Take your place at the recep- ton desk in the office," the chief of police said in an even tone, but ther was something strained about 1t. "Open the switch, we may need it, You know how, don't you? Then when the men come in, we'll see what happens. rather imagine you have been threatened by them, haven't your"
 Sue nodded. "How did you know?"
 Your general reaction--you knew what to expect. But we'll talk about that later. Will you take your place now?"
 Sue went into the outer office. All lights were extinguished except the one over the telephone desk She sat down. Her hands were trembling. Her breath was coming too fast. She held 1t while she counted to ten, then let it out slowly.
 It seemed to her that time was dragging, standing still. that the men would never come.
 And she was afraid of them. Still, just beyond the inner door help waited. There was a sound at the door. It opened. Not stealth- fly, but with a confident touch. Sue glanced up. The physician who had been called to attend Ruth Burke, stood there. The chief of police had been watching for him, too. The door opened quickly and he gave the man a sign to keep quiet and come at once.
 Then everything was quiet
 Perhaps the intruders wouldn't come now, Sue reflected. Maybe they had noticed the arrival of q stranger, a doctor. with medical bag would frighten them.
 She waited.
 Now, at last, she heard steps. Stealthy. creeping. .or maybe she didn't. The steps would come quickly, surely. When they came. The men wouldn't want to be seen lettering in the hall. Another min ute passed. Her breath was coming too fast again, growing strangled in her throat. Her hands were icy and her arms felt cold and numb.
 She wouldn't think, she decided. She would count to hundred. By that time the men would be there. She started. One. two, three, four, five six seven-the door was opening.
 As it opened her fear left. Quick Lightly. She was ready.
 "Good. evening. MT Burns," she was surprised at her own tone. And Mir Prichar.'
 For second the two men eyed her.
 Good evening, Mrs Thornton: This is an unexpected pleasure. , the older man said then, and his oily voice slipped along smooth groove. ''To what do we owe it?"
 I'm managing the switch for my father laws office. Waiting for late call. He's out of town today.
 "Oh, yes. I wanted to see him.. He hesitated. He was wordering what had happened to the girl whom he had planted at the switcn board, Sue knew. He was uncer- tain how to proceed because he sensed that there had been devei- opments of which he knew noth- ing.
 Miss Macy hadn't found time to explain, apparently.
