for a black petticoat and group
of handkerchiefs on a clothes line.
The black petticoat was hoisted
by the fourth link In the chain
a boatman named Brewster. It
was his humble but important
task to ply the little ferry between
Long Island and New York. The
black silk garment was the rec
ognized signal that he had safely
reached the shore of Long Island.
The now famous handkerchiefs
indicated the cove where he wait
ed with his boat.
Messages were relayed-Wood-
hull to Brewster-who smuggled
them to Major Benjamin Tall
madge-who conveyed them
swiftly to General Washington.
In later days when Washington
became President, he often visited
these staunch friends-the human
chain" which had so Loyalty

leader.
All of these spies - Americas

the war, yet none save few close
friends knew of their activities as

Washington's spies = hidden and

Spies in every war are caught
and condemned. Some have es-
capped capture, few have con-
cealed their secret activities-but
none more successfully than the
agents who served Washington
during the Revolution.
Messages passed continually
between the general on Long Is
land and his supporters in New
York. Many men were suspected,
but nothing was proven; no ar
rests were made by the English.
After years of intensive research
in Long Island archives, a men,
ber of the New York Historical
Society followed clue after clue,
and solved the mystery.
Three names stand out: John
Bolton, Samuel Culper, Sr., and
Samuel Culper, Jr. Letters bear

referring to troop movements. But
no record existed that these men
ever lived.

I THINK it is great pity that
the very friendly custom of
serving afternoon tea is dying
out. There is almost no part of
the social regime that is as SIM
pie. hospitable, and incidentally,
as Inexpensive, as afternoon tea.
The tea hour forms charming
background for many types of
entertaining. You may be casual
and informal, or go to great pains
and become ceremonious. The in
formal afternoon is, of course,
easier, and I think much more
pleasant. Very little preparation
is required, yet the occasion can
be one of delightful hospitality.
1t depends entirely upon the
hostess-her personality, her skill
and her cleverness in conversa-
ton.
The informal tea is merely for
the purpose of seeing ones
friends. talking to them for
awhile-being hospitable in the
easiest way possible. The hour
may be any time between four
and six in the afternoon, and the
tea may be served in the draw
ing-room, on the porch, or out on
the lawn. In the summer months,
the hour is naturally bit later
In the day, due to the longer
sunny hours of the day, and the
warmth of most summer after
Moons. The tea things may be ar
ranged on a low table, or on a
tea-wagon, which Is wheeled into
the room after the guests have
gathered. The food is, of course,
very simple-small sandwiches
and cakes served with either tea
or coffee-or both. Try varying
the usual order of cream-and-
sugar or lemon-and-clove
small cubes of candied ginger, or
thin slices of orange. Iced tea can
be the basis of delightful punch
which may be made at the tea
table by adding fruit juices, gin
ger ale, or large spoonful of
lemon ice to the glass.
IF YOU CAN convince the men
of your family that tea is not
a sissy drink-you'll find them
all getting home in time for a
cup with you before dinner.
The formal afternoon tea is
used to introduce a daughter to
society, to honor a house-guest,
a new neighbor, or to welcome a
son or daughter back from COL
lege. 1t is an excellent way of en-
tertaining large number of peo-
pie without a great deal of elab-

MEASURES

INCH and OUNCE are not very
much alike in sound, but they
are actually two different forms
of one word; that word being UN-
CIA, Italian for "one-twelfth."
INCH is one-twelfth of a foot;
OUNCE one-twelfth of a pound,
Troy weight.
The first measurements ever
taken by man could not be stand
ardized, there being in primitive
civilization no recognized unit of
length. Attempts were made to
express dimensions in terms
taken from surrounding objects;
parts of the human frame being
most easily available. Some
measure" words still in use go
back to that remote and unen-
lightened time.
Horses are still 80 many
hands" high. A FOOT was and is
the unit; by this undoubtedly was
formerly meant the actual length
of a human sole. The now obso-
lete CUBIT was the length of the
forearm.
FATHOM is the Old English
FAETHOM, which means out
stretched arms" embrace" Now
used only in measuring ocean
depths.
MILE is from the Latin mile
pass,s, "a thousand paces." From
paSSus and the prefix cum, we
have the expression "a CON-
PASS within which lies, etc."
Literally, "a route that comes to-
gether or joins itself; a circuit"
And FURLONG is a contrac.
ton of FURROW-LONG; the
length of plowed field!

crate and expensive preparation.
The hostess receives her guests
either in the drawing room or in
the garden, depending, of course,
on the season of the year. Guests
are supposed to mingle with each
other and converse freely,
whether they know one another
or not. Formal introductions are
not necessary at a large tea-the
fact that they are all meeting
under one roof is enough of an
introduction. Refreshments are
generally served either in the
dining room, or at the far end of
the garden from where the host
ess receives. The food is of course,
more elaborate than that of the
simple tea just mentioned-it
may consist of light salad, hot
rolls, small cakes and tea or cof-
fee. A rich and heavy dessert is
never served at a tea. Be sure
that the food is not so substan-
tial that it will interfere with
your guests dinner.
"A /HEN many people are in
Wv vited, the hostess usually
asks one or two of her good
friends to assist her in the pour

IA FHO wouldn't be proud to
w serve a dish like the one
pictured here? 1t is lamb steaks
planked with whole green beans
and caulif1ower f1owerets.
The lamb steaks are cut from
the leg of lamb, and are broiled
in exactly the same manner as
are chops. They are broiled on
one side, then transferred to a
wooden plank, the vegetables
placed around them, and the
broiling completed The steaks
shown at right were cut one and
half inches thick and require ap-
proximately 80 minutes for broil-
ing. The oven for this method of
cooking is thoroughly preheated
with the regulator set to high"
The steaks are placed on the
rack far enough from the flame
or heating element that by the
time one side is nicely Drowned,
they will be half done. Then they
are seasoned, and transferred to
the plank.
The green beans and cauli-
flower f1owerets are cooked in
water first, then placed on the
plank, dotted with butter, and
reheated and slightly Drowned in
the broiling oven.
The plank used for this method
of service is a wooden plank
made especially for this purpose.
1t must be prepared before it is
used for the first time. This is a
simple process. 1t is rubbed with
oil and heated in slow oven for
several hours, until the oil dis
appears into the wood. Then the
plank is washed and cared for
just as any other piece of cook
ing equipment.
In case you do not have a
plank, you may use a fireproof
platter. This is tempered so that
it can be placed directly under
the broiler flame without danger
of breaking. If you do not have
any platter which will stand heat,
you may broil these same foods
on the broiler rack and arrange
them on platter after the cook
ing has been completed. After all,
the plank or fireproof platter is
only a utensil used for the cook
ing and serving, but it does make
an easy and attractive way to
prepare and serve broiled foods.
I AMB steaks or chops are the
ideal lamb cuts for this
method of serving
One thick lamb steak can be
counted on to serve two persons
