In drawing the course in "kitch-

What is unanimously said to
have been one of the most Sue
cessful cooking schools ever con-
Quoted locally came to an end this
afternoon when Miss Margaret
Coates of the Safeway Stores Home
makers bureau told an enthusias-
tic crowd of housewives gathered
at the Fox Imperial theatre the
newest developments in meat cook
cry and revealed a further variety
of recipes of universal interest
among local homemakers.
Outstanding among the features
of the afternoons demonstrations
was the roasting of fowl, with
cut basting. This was accomplish
ed through the creation of blan-
ket artfully contrived from flour
and water and draping the sides
of the bird 10 retain moisture, and
maximum of flavor, during the
roasting process.
OF probably equal interest was
The roasting of standing beef ribs
IN an open roaster without the ad-
dition of water and, as partner
to the roast of beef, the prepara-
ton of a Yorkshire pudding which
gave every evidence of proving q
taste worthy addition to anybody's
roast beef dinner.
Miss Coates served informal no.
tice on local husbands that there
need now be no excuse for the alb
sence of dumplings when dumplings
should be the order of the day, by
the demonstrating of a favorite
old dumping recipe which is claim
ed to end failures in that favorite
masculine fodder at once and for
all time.
Still another recipe of consider
able consequence to women who
have grown weary of fashioned
stuffing for fowl was that of a
sausage stuffing made with seas
oned sausage meat and bread
crumbs, the final result being a
novel tastiness for both the bird
and its interior furnishing.
One would hardly suspect the
possibility of developing. anything
new cut of commonplace ham-and-
cheese sandwich but Miss Coates
showed that even this is possible
by demonstrating what she termed

CHAPTER XI-Continued

"Geoff's DEAR said Miss Mona
complacently. 'Ill confess to you,
Eunice, hoped at first he and Gym
thia would fall in love with each
other. But they got off on the wrong
foot somehow, and it's been all could
do to keep the peace between them
sometimes"
Her friend gave her sharp glance.
She knew that her sons heart was
given to this small blue-eyed girl
who treated him with a casual sort
of friendliness. She discovered with
In herself an unsupported jealousy Of
Cynthia. Absorbed in her husband as
she had been, there was always the
consciousness of the boys alteration
of his mother. Unknown to herself
she had valued that alteration, count
ed on it. Now that the book was
done, the last service she could render
her husband was completed, she had
intended to open her heart to her
only son.
And now 1t was too late! Geoff had
his attention, to give to his mother
where once she had had the full meas
ure. If Cynthia said something to
him in little confidential aside at
breakfast, Geoff went off whistling.
If she was preoccupied and silent, he
departed for the laboratories as gloom
lily as though he had just heard of
the death of his best friend.
"a salutary lesson to mothers who
put their children second in their
hearts," Mrs. Ensloe told herself,
cooking her eyebrows in the whimsical
way Miss Mona remembered. "'She
who will not when she may, when she
will she shall have nay'-and that ap-
plies to mothers as well as to sweet
hearts, apparently"
She let the subject drop for the
time being, but Cynthia soon discov-

CHAPTER XII
Changes.

@~-%~eG1~Ss
One morning the Captain failed to
appear at breakfast, and Miss Mona,
going anxiously to his room to ascer-
tain the reason, came down with
troubled face.
"He says he's not i'll, just, tired"
she reported. II think I'll call Doctor
BiSham, just to be on the safe side"
Gall me after he's been here and
tell me what he says" Cynthia asked.
1t was Mrs. Ensloe who gave the re-
quested report.
I'm afraid your grandfather is
pretty i'll, Cynthia" she said. TITS his
heart, the doctor says"
Seriously ill, Mrs. Ensloe?"
"Tm afraid so, my dear. Doctor
Bigham wants nurse"
"Oh, he must be i'll! Is he in pain?"
''No. But the doctor seems to think
there's dropsical condition" She
could hear Cynthia's gasp at the other
end of the line. There's no imme-
diate danger. No need for you to
come home"
But Cynthia did come home at once.
She knew how much Miss Mona would
need support at this time. The nurse
had arrived by the time Cynthia came.
Save for her presence in the house, 1t
did not seem like an illness. The Cap
tain lay serenely on his high pillows,
smiled at his daughter had joking
word for Geoff and Cynthia.
AS on previous occasion Doctor
Bigham drew Geoff aside.
'Look here! The old mans 60
ing"
"What!" said Geoff, astounded.
"Yes. No possible doubt of 1t.
He'll slip away in his sleep, l hope.
It's the rest of the family Tn worried
about. Miss Mona is going to take it
awfully hard"
"And Cynthia!"
"And Cynthia, of course. But after
all, it's Miss Mona who will feel 1t
most. I'll be here as much as I can,
but I've my practice to think of. If
the Captain should go in the night. /
want you to call me Immediately"
Day after day went by, and there
was no change in the patient. Miss
Mona and Mrs. Ensloe cared for him
in the daytime, the nurse at night.
Cynthia came and went as usual
from the shop. Cary came in each
evening to sit with his grandfather,
and Flossie proved to be of unex-
pected value in helping with the nurs-
ing.
They were all at dinner one evening,
Fiossie and Cary, too. Suddenly the
nurses voice was heard calling from
upstairs.

chicken, to artichokes and white cher
ries in aspic, to pink rosebud ices and

'What on earth?" she demanded.

be as much like my first as possible"
he explained. 81 wasn't sure about
the details but Marguerite remem-
bered"
"That was the day Hadji was
killed." Cynthia recalled soberly.
''That was the day you started hat
ing me-" said Geoff.
''Do you hate him, Cynthia? on.
why? I love Geoff!"
"That's right, Tenny. You keep on
setting Cynthia a good example and
maybe she'll follow it,"
Eat least" Cynthia told him softly,
'I've got past the hating point. I'll
even admit this: I'm going to miss
you terribly after today. Cary, sup
post you and Flossie-"
"We're going to take some things
over to our apartment" Cary inter-
rupted Importantly. ''This girl of
mine has set her heart on boarding all
sorts of my youthful possessions. I'll
have to see the janitOr about storing
them"
Flossie smiled. "Our first wife" had
intimated in telephone conversation
with Flossie that day that after next
month no more alimony would be ex-
pected.
Tenny was long time getting to
sleep that night. 1t was thrilling, In
the first place, to go to bed in a room
which contained bed and nothing
else; not rug, not chair, not a
picture on the walls. Excitement over
the next days move contributed to
her wakefulness. But finally the white
lids dropped and Tenny, her hand
tucked beneath her cheek, was wrapped
in slumber.
Geoff came down from a final trip
to the attic and found Cynthia in the
old parlor. She had not turned on
the lights but the shades were up and
moonlight streamed in from the win
dows. Geoff saw that she was crying
as he crossed the room to her.
"Why, Cynthia! Why, my dear 7"
Eyes, know" she said brokenly.
'But it's parting with all know of
permanency and security and-and
home! No other place will ever be
the same to me. I understand now
how Miss Mona felt"
Cynthia" Geoff said gently, "will
YOU let me make you another home,
dear?"
There was startled silence and
then she said: "Are you asking me
to marry you, Geoff?"
Eyes, my darlingl"
"Geoff :. I'm sorry IL
can't"

CHAPTER XIII
Flossie Gives Advice.


After the excitement of moving and
adjusting herself in the new apart
ment Cynthia fell into the routine she
had dreaded. Valentine day, with its
squirt of trade. passed and only an
occasional customer invaded the quiet
of the shop. Elsie took frequent
afternoons off now and offered to re-
lieve Cynthia in turn; but there was
no particular place she desired to go.
Get some new Clothes" Elsie ad-
vised. That's always interesting"
March was ushered In with a bliz-
card that ragged all day. Tenny was
not allowed to go to school and moped
about the apartment. Marguerite had
neurology" in her face and was
cross. Cynthia tramped to and from
the shop, the mink collar of her coat
turned up against the singing wind
and sleet, her feet cold in their
galoshes Life was drab and unin-
teresting.
1t gained no color from the fact
that Geoff was being much sought in
social way since he left the Cary
house. The hotel in which he lived
was known as "The Bachelors Hive"
and was run in conjunction with
club which gave exclusive and rather
amusing parties. Echoes of Geoff's
participation in them reached Cynthia
now and then.
Once two girls came in looking for
a, particular kind of Benares brass
work which could be obtained only at

ostrich egg-all sorts of trash that
have memories attached to them"
''What doesn't?" Geoff asked sensi-
bly,. IF I were you I'd pack one box
with useless souvenirs and throw the
rest away" /,
The work proceeded slowly despite
the number Of willing hands. Tenny
was in her glory, dragging out old
silk dresses with bustles and ruffled
trains, rescuing Cynthia's biggest doll
from Cary's devastating hand, scat
tering the books Cynthia had sorted,
generally behaving. as Geoff told her
good-naturedly, as though she were
six pairs of twins and single.
= =
1t was their last night in the old
Cary house. The rooms were stripped
and bare. Only enough furniture re-
manned for their actual needs. Geoff's
belongings had already been sent to
the hotel where he was to stay during
the remainder of his time in Denver.
Cynthia had found and furnished from
their own beautiful old pieces a five
room apartment which was not too far
from Tenny's school,
'Iook here, Marguerite" Geoff had
said that morning, this is my last
day here and I'm going to run the
housekeeping again, at least as far as
dinner is concerned. Just disregard
any orders Miss Cynthia may give
you, and you and I'll plan meal that
is a meal"
So tonight, to Cynthia's surprise,
they sat down to delicately broiled
