can rival Christmas so far as our

But truly, with a very small
outlay of cash you can do such a
lot. Nor does it stop with that.
1t applies equally we'll to the
foods, though most folk wreck
the budget in trying to have the
perfect Easter dinner. Leg of
lamb may be traditional, but a
good veal pot pie can bring just
as much gustatory delight as this
monarch of the day and his queen,
crown roast of lamb
A T THAT, if it must be lamb,
~ the humble shoulder and low
ly breast of lamb with a flavor

not to be scorned. The next in
line by way of meats is baked
ham, a favorite the year around,
but none the less attractive now.

ham and perky spring flowers.

roast hen with a stuffing of bread,

by savory gravy with hard

"Oh, just few things. You'd

croutons add to a salad"
He walked back and forth, run
ming his hand through his hair,
forgetting all about the salad, all
about being gay. His expression
was tense and strained. Suddenly
he came over to the bed and stood
above Helen, holding her face be-
tween his two hands, and lifting
it so that he could look into her
eyes.

ABOUT DESSERTS

Most people like frozen des-
serts, hence the desserts one can
buy at this time of year, nodded
in fancy forms, from Easter bum
MES to lilies, are always in good
taste Served up with a simple
wafer, of course. But ice cream,
including that made at home,
to me always seems too heavy.
I like sherbets and water ices
which permit of cake.
A good white cake with orange
frosting served with lemon ice.
Or a daffodil cake with orange
sherbet. An angel cake, followed
out and filled with good Ba-
varian cream, pineapple, straw
berry or something of the sort.
Allowed to stand over night and
served in slices at the table. And
there's cocoanut cake, sunshine
cake, Blitz torte and a host of
others.

LOOKING BACK

Roy and Mary come home from
college on a brief vacation to visit
their parents, Helen and John
Hennesee. They soon discover that
their mother is deeply hurt by
Johns attentions to attractive
Susan Jennings. The situation
brings both children closer to
Helen. Mary, meanwhile, has be-
come interested in wealthy young
Dick Larson, an orphan.
Driving home from the club
one evening, John reaches for
Susan's hand, loses control of the
car and the crash seriously in
jures Helen. In the hospital, Helen,
slowly recovering from her in
juries, meets a kind stranger,
who goes out Of his way to show
. his interest. At an informal party
in Helen's room one afternoon,
the stranger wins wager from
her, claims his forfeit of a kiss
and as he does so, John walks in.
While the situation is temporarily
smoothed over, Helen spends
much time that day considering
her unhappiness-and at last tells
John, over the phone, that she
does not intend to come home.
Chapter II
4 IELEN spent a restless night
after she had told John of
her decision never to come home.
The nurse wanted to give her
something to make her sleep, but
Helen was afraid even of sleep.
Suppose she should dream of
John?
She tried to think of the new
friend she had. Somehow men had
never figured in her life, and 1t
seemed strange to her that any
man should be interested. He was
certainly all that anyone could
ask-but there were the years
with john
Hour after hour she faced the
realization that for the rest of
her life she would be living over
the years with John. There would
never be a crimson and gold sun
set that she would not see
through his eyes-not a tulip bed
that would not bring before her

Then there's asparagus, which
somehow belongs to Easter as

SALAD VARIETY
And salads - but there's
chance for argument. l mean as
to when it should be served.
I like the jellied salads on two
counts. They seem to belong, and
they may be prepared the day
before. Lime, lemon and mint
favored gelatins may be dressed
up in all manner of ways. Nodded
with fruits of the season; nodded
in individual ring molds; turned
out on shredded lettuce and filled
with little cheese eggs. Vegetables
added during the congealing proc
ess. Served with cheese straws or
tiny waters. Or cubes of bread,
dipped in melted butter, then in
grated Parmesan cheese, placed
on the cooky sheet, in a moderate
oven, to toast Serve hot.
THE mixed green salads belong
with the meal or served after
the main course. Or very simple
one of citrus fruits, dressed with
French dressing. Rather nice
idea if the main course Is heavy
and the dessert equally so, which
it really shouldn't be. By the time
most of us get to dessert, we'd
just as soon it would be left in
the refrigerator for several hours
to come.

ALEX PANTACES
 IS FOUND DEAD
 INLOS ANGELES
Wealthy Theatre Owner, Veteran Klondiker Pass
 es Away in Bed

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. IT, Alexander Pantages, wealthy thea tre owner and horseman and a vet eran of the Klondike gold days, was found dead in bed this morning. The cause of death apparently was caused by heart trouble.
 Operating the principal theatres in the western part of the nation, Pantages sold his large theatre chain to RKO in 1929. In 1883 he again headed an independent ex- hibiting organization.
 The 64-year-old theatrical man is said to have got his start on $45 earned in Dawson dance hall as bartender He took over an insol- vent Dawson theatre and began drumming up trade Seats sold on the opening night for S12.50 each. He made good money and later went to Seattle where he estab- lished moving picture house in the early days of the industry. From then he began to branch out until his chain of theatres reached into 52 cities.
