a singing star of the air whose long
~ continued radio popularity seems
to grow greater with each Friday night pro-
gram. She might have defined it also as the
result of very hard work and single-hearted
interest. She might have mentioned many per-
sonal pleasures she must sacrifice for the
sake of the career which the little vocal in
strument in her threat has made possible
for her.
Because she is such busy person, Jessica
Dragonette has made her dressing room, back
stage at the broadcasting station, the rendez-
vous where her evening of social activities be-
gins. 1t may continue at supper with some of
her personal friends, or very often at home
where as many as ten or fifteen guests often
join her for an informal party.
Occasionally radio friend whom she has
known previously through correspondence
alone is invited to 60 home with her for one of
these supper parties. Just recently two de-
voted New Orleans listeners-in, Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Carlo, were favored with such an in
vitation and they brought as their present for
her long strings of peppers from Louisiana
where members of their families have lived
since the days of the Louisiana Purchase.
I'VE had an enormous platter of Eggs
Ranchero that night, with hot rolls and butter
and coffee That is all you need or want for a
perfect supper" Jessica explained. "And as
peppers are used in this dish it seemed par
ticularly appropriate on night when we'd
just received present of peppers. Besides
Maria Crever was there to cook the egg dish
for us and nobody can do it quite so wonder
fully as she can.
''You see," she explained, Maria is not
only marvellous accompanist and COM
poser = have sung some of her songs - but
she can cook splendidly. Personally, like to
cook, too, but time for that and many other
things is one of the great luxuries of life in
my case.
when food that is beautiful to look at and
perfect to the palate comes to you in the COM
pany of friends, eating can be an event" she
added thoughtfully. There are, for instance,
the Hallowells, personal friends of mine, with
whom it is exciting to dine. | remember in par
ticular great platter of seafood they served
once" she stretched her arms wide to indicate
the size of the dish. 1T was startlingly beau
tiful to look at and indesuibably good to
eat
Miss Dragonette is fond of seafood and
especially of crab whether fresh or canned.
She gave us recipe for her favorite crab
salad And we hope you will also like the crab
casserole which is shown on this page and for

Homemade cakes and candy arrive from
friends in distant cities, towns and farms, each
made by a recipe for which the donor has
reputation among her friends or which is
famous in that section of the country. ''The
people who send them often write that they
have mixed a lot of love- in them," Miss
Dragonette says Il do not know if that makes
them more delicious to the tongue, as it GER
tainly does to the heart, but at all events they
are delicious"

in individual dishes, garnished with mush-

Clam chowder is another of her favorites
and she likes squads stuffed with mushrooms
and served with cherry sauce. As vegetables
for this main dish she chooses wild rice and
baked tomatoes Readers who prefer more
usual course of small roasting chicken will
find the same dressing, sauce, and accom-
paniments interesting and we shall be glad
to send Miss Dragonette's recipes for them.
Sometimes on day of rehearsal when she
is in the studio for ten, twelve or even more
hours at stretch, Jessica has neither oppor-
tunity nor desire for proper meal. So she has
devised very simple mixture that she highly
recommends. She calls it Ice-Cream Coffee,
for it consists of coffee and a generous scoop of
ice cream served in a tall glass.
For snacks at other times she likes peanut
butter; and she is fond of apricots, particular
ly when they are used for Apricot Parfait or a
dessert we have named especially for her -
Apricot Jessica. This is similar to the well
known Peach Melba and is extremely fla
vorful when made with apricots instead of
peaches.
Many delicacies for the table come from un-
seen friends of the air to 'Jessica," as almost
all her radio correspondents call her from the
first letter Richard Lewis, manager of the
broadcasting station in Phoenix, Arizona, has
sent her generous packages of fragrant dates,
both fresh and dried, for Mr. Lewis wants Jes-
sica to enjoy one of his States finest products.
Another Arizona friend sends her grapefruit
of special and singularly sweet variety from
his own groves near Tucson.

FOLLY: and FAREWELL : 2::::! E.!

| how lightly she had dismissed ms
invitation-from his mother, ne
had said-to have supper with
them at his home.
And then Linda knew there was
only one thing in the world she
wanted at that moment and that
was to sec Pete's mother. She
was ashamed of her behavior, but
her desire was stronger than that
and she FASTENED her steps until
she came to a drug store. Quick
ly. she turned the pages Of the
telephone directory until she came
to his name and found the adj
dress.
1t was a little house, but it
wasn't quite the kind of a little
house Linda had expected to find.
It was freshly painted and ever
green's hid the worn foundations.
A border of young hyacinth
waved pink and purple and nod
ded to the white ruffled curtains,
blowing out to them from the
lighted windows.
A wave Of anticipation ran from
Linda's gloved finger all through
her as she paused, hand poised
above the old-fashioned knocker.
She knew that the little house
would smell of spices and good
things. She closed her eyes for n
moment and opcncd them when
the door opened in answer to her
ring. ....
"No. it can't be trucw she said
TO herself before she spoke. Mrs.
Gardiner was entirely too much
, like something out of book.
! Look as she would. Linda couldn't
find flaw. Little. sweet faced,

wrinkles Of the aged for all that
she was not truly old). Mrs. Gar
diner was Linda's idea of Il
mother. Her white hair was drawn
back in simple knot. Her slip
ming SDcctacleS wore ~old-rimmcd.
Her dress of dark blue taffcta
might have been six weeks or six
wears old. The diamond sunbust
inst above the ton Of the white
lawn apron was all that she had
left Of DAYS that her son would
not remember.
In that quick second. Linda
wondered what her own mother
was like. The pretty. frivolous
girl who had run away from her
little daurhtcr.
"Pm Linda Bourne, Mrs. Gar
/ diner" she said
"Wcll. now this is a pleasant
surprise" Mrs. Gardiner had
drawn her into the small hall.

going to be able to come, after
all. | told Peter to. call you and
see if that gentleman might have
left by now, but he said maybe
you'd come anyway. And | see
you have"
Linda was slightly swept off her
feet. She had planned TO confess
that she was suddenly ashamed
and had come to apologize, but

way, because / wanted to meet
you. Pete Mr.. Gardiner told
me such lovely things about you.'
"You mustn't mind him, Miss
Bourne. He says lovely things
about everybody, and very lovely
things about you"
Suddenly Linda felt her back
60 little straighter. She didn't
want Pete Gardiner to say lovely
things about her. She didn't want
him to think Of her. She resented
any implication that there might
be anything but the, most casual
relationship between them. as a
woman does when she is in love
with another man.

THiS roadster roarcd into the drive
and, through the curtains, Linda
saw him glance at his wrist-watch
before he raised the knocker.
"Hello," she said in just the
tone she had always said hello to
him before, but embarrassment
had fallen on him. She could for
get while she was with him, the
heavy hand of circumstance that
had descended since last they had
met. Dix couldn't. It was not
strong enough, this bond between
them. Linda had become some
one else. She was dramatized in
his mind, and try as she would,
she could not change things.
He told her gravely of his ac-
Invites, and when she tried to
speak of her father and all that
Dix already knew (bccause she
wanted to clear away the. some
thing between them so that they
could find each other as they had
becn Dix would not allow her.
He wouldn't have tea. he said,
CHANGING once more at his watch.
He had to "pick up some people. y
In her imagination, Linda saw
Jane Wyatt'S laughing face held
up to his, and she proppcd her
chin up mentally.
"Tcll me about the Glcc Club
concert" she said.
He did. Precisely the way he
would have told his mother Care
fully he reviewed the program.
After that, Linda gave up. When
he rose she got his hat and, sum-
monin% a smile she did not feel.
she said, "l'm not very. gay now,
Dix, or very good company, but |
hope you'll como again"
"You bet" he answered heart
lily. and she tried not to see his
relief. "Wc'll have to do some
thing one Of these nights. Some
thing quiet"
Very calmly Linda took the tea
tray to the kitchen. Very calmly
she wrapped the untouched sand
wicheS in a damp cloth. put the
cream back in the hottie, rinscd
the dishes. Calmly she took all
the flowers out and dumped them
in the rubbish basket. She went
upstairs and squeezed her ewes
tightly shut so that the tears
would not come through.
&" + /"
But they did come. and when
she had cried until her nose was
red. her lin swollen and her eyes
burned back in her head and she
was as Disguised with herself as
she was hurt. she took off the vel
vet gown and got out her old
twccds. the worn riding hat, and
her brogucs.
Linda felt the need of fresh air
and sympathy. When she set out,
with small hands clutched in the
pockets Of her coat, she sought
only the fresh air. but when her
mind had cleared itself of the
afternoon she remembered Pete
Gardiner. She remembered the
tone of his voice. She remem-
bered how he had looked when he
spoke about his mother and, to
her own shame. she remembered
