The Peach

THIS headline sounds like lift
ing your glass to pretty girl,
L but it refers to a delicious re-
cipe which has the luxurious
sound of being something very
new and special. Yet it is simply
made, and very quickly, too. Serve
it either for dessert or for Sunday
morning breakfast. 1t will make
a decided hit with anyone who
loves peaches-and who doesn't?
Here's the recipe:
Peach Toast: Beat one egg
slightly. Add three-quarters OF
cup Of milk, one teaspoon of sugar
and a quarter of a teaspoon of
salt. Dip slices Of bread in this
milk and saute golden brown.
Use eight slices Of bread. Dip
eight halves of canned peaches in
flour and also saute golden in the
skillet. Place one peach half on
each slice of toast and pour over
it the following sauce:
Sauce: Melt one tablespoon of
butter, add one tablespoon of flour
and stir smooth. Add one cup of
peach syrup slowly, stirring con-
stantly until smooth and thick.
Season with cinnamon and pour
over the peach toast. Serve hot.
This can also be served with
waff1es and wheat cakes.
Peaches of Great Price
And here's another recipe for
peaches which is so highly priced
that they have given it the name of
Golden Nuggets: Add one-half
cup sugar to the contents of an
S-ounce can of sliced peaches, and
boil gently until the syrup is
thick. Cool. and drain off syrup.
Have eight small cup cakes made
Of any good white cake-batter and
favored with orange flavoring.
Lay three slices Of drained
peaches on top Of each cake.
Cover with boiled icing, favored
with orange and tinted yellow, so
the peaches are entirely con-
cealed. This makes eight golden
nuggets

Weather Conditions

Weather conditions have caused
another bad week of attendance.
On Monday we had another bad
snow storm which made it neces-
sary to close school in order for the
buses to get the pupils home. The
attendance was also very bad on
Tuesday and only two buses were
able to get to school. We're hoping
winter will depart soon so attend
ance will become much better.

A moments reflection, and the

head to do so, but he burst into a
torrent Of broken thanks. Packy
waved his gratitude aside.

"First?"
Then you have forgotten the sec

He searched desperately in the re-
cesses of q maddeningly defective
memory for even the smallest detail
Of the affair. He found nothing.
"You don't mean we had another
battle?"
"And howl"
And you say this bird Is IN bad

"You could hardly say he was In

thing to do was to come here In his
place. OF course, looking at 1t in a
narrow, technical way, I am not the
Vicomte de Blissac. But think you
will be making great mistake If you
don't accept me as such. If Mrs.
Gedge returns and finds no vicomte
at the chateau, don't you think she
will start making inquiries?"
Mr.. Gedge had sunk into q chair
and was kneading his forehead. To
believe or not to believe?
One portion of his mind was telling
him that it was simply absurd to sup
pose that a man could have a des-
perate fight round about supper time
and not remember anything about it
on the following afternoon. And
then, stealing back, there came the
unnerving thought that Packy might
be speaking the truth. In which case,
to expel him from the chateau would
be disaster.

clutched feverishly at Packy's coat.

looking at Packy ado-ingly. 1t amazed

afternoon, was not at the peak Of
his form. His recollections of the
previous night were hazy in the ex-
treme. His only outstanding recol-
lection was of having had q fight with
some one.
And then suddenly the picture grew
clearer, and he sat up with an an
guished start. He had just remem-
bered that his adversary in that COM
bat had been q young man brightly
dressed as a lizard, and as the only
celebrant at the festivities so costumed
had been the Vicomte de Blissac,
the battler consequently must have
been he.
He was appalled, The vicomte was
due to arrive at the chateau today
for an indeterminate visit, and the
problem of what Is the correct atti-
tude for host to adopt toward a
guest of honor whom on the previous
night he had earnestly endeavored
to throttle was more than he could
solve. He was still wrestling with
it when the door opened and the but

Mr.. Gedge regarded him with q

INSTALLMENT XIII.

THERE was good stuff In the
Vicomte de Blissac Many
men in his condition would
Il have remained where they had
been dumped, inert, till the
following morning. But it was
scarcely an hour after the pallbearers
had laid him on the bed in his room
at the Hotel des Etrangers before he
was, in Q manner Of speaking, up and
about. That is to say. he had so far
regained the mastery of his faculties
as to be able to totter to the wash

half of water out of the pitcher
which stood thereon, and fill sponge
and press it to his burning head.
He had just renewed the contents
of this sponge and was passing 1t
gently across his brow once more
when he became aware Of q knock
ing on the door. Limping to open it,
he discovered on the threshold his
friend. Packy Franklyn.
"Allo" said the vicomte in weak
voice. Packy did not reply. He had
come into the room and was now clos
ing the door with every circumstance
of wariness and caution.
"'St!" said Packy.
The vicomte sat down on the bed
and put his head between his hands.
Looking up moment later, he found
that Packy was regarding him with
a kind Of anxious concern.
'Veek!" said Packy suddenly.
Brace yourself up, old man."
"Why?"
Because I've some rather bad news

Following is letter from Mar

avenue. who recently returned
from a pleasant trip with her par
ents to the British West Indies.
She writes:
After two days sailing from
Boston. we arrived at the Bermuda
Islands. The harbor is very treach-
erous and has to be navigated by q
pilot. on account of the numerous
reefs and small coral islands. The
islands are composed OF coral and
the houses are made OF the same
material. The roofs OF the houses
and the street pavements fairly
CLEAN in the tropical sun.
No automobiles are allowed on
the island. so that all transporta-
ton is by carriages and bicycles.
This adds TO the qauintness Of the
place.
There is a decided British ac-
cent heard everywhere. Large and
beautiful hotels have been erected
by the British and American set
tiers and they do a thriving bust
mes on account OF the large tourist
trade Law and order prevails every
where and everyone is very courte-
Gus. Colored patrolmen patrol the
and everyone Is very courteous.
Colored patrolman patrol the
streets, and are clad in immacu-
late white coats and tropical hats.
We visited twelve other places,
extending from st. Kits to Geor-
getown. British Guiana. where my
father was born.
The West Indies islands are all
OF volcanic formation, and high
handicapped mountains provide q
picturesque background for the
cities along the waters edge. Tro-
pical breezes blow the year round
and the palm trees verdure are al
ways green
In all ways. the trip was delight
| full, and we are again anticipating
the time when we shall see the
