Patsy saw that Virginia Keith sat
very still and a little pale during the
subject Of Victor Caldwell. as If uneasy.
She thought: Virginia is probably
wondering If any one saw her with him
at the Log Cabin Tavern that after
noon. I'd like to know If there is any
thing between them. or If he Is just
another man to her"
All at once there was a sound Of
rushing, stumbling feet on the stairs.
Admiral Warfield looked up from his
frappe to see Marcia standing In the
hall, her auburn hair tumbled about
her tear-stained face, her black silk
dress wrinkled and mussed from lying
on the bed. He said in a jubilant
voice: Marcia, child, I'm glad you
came down." Then his ruddy face
Whitened little, for he saw the wild
look in Marcia's eyes.
Marcia's swollen, terrorized gaze
fiung about from one to the other Of
those at the long table. and came to
rest at last upon Patsy. who sat. wide
eyed, her fingers cropping nelvously at

Marcia cried out in a voice that seemed

laughter and the clinking Of glasses

voice splintered and Patsy felt as If
the fragments of it had pierced her
own flesh.
Marcia stiffened and her mouth
worked tightly against her teeth. She
bent suddenly forward, her small face
ghastly colorless, her brown eyes
glazed and bloodshot. The sound of
her own voice had inflamed her now
and she went on rapidly, biting of the
words: -Four years ago I sat at this
table in Patsy's place! Tom sat across
from me there-there! Do any of you
know what it is to wait for a man
who will never come back? Do any of
you know what it is to listen for a
voice you'll never hear again! Do
you-do you--"
Admiral Warfield got up. He said: ::
Marcia, oh. my poor child!'
Patsy could see the blood receding
from his face, leaving it almost as
white as his hair, and the tears that
filmed in his pale eyes. Marcia. even

name through his hands, shouting
with all his breath. He had seen her
go to the side door; had never dreamed
that she would go out into that
tempest. But when she had not re-
turned promptly he had started to look
for her.
She tried to answer. but the wind

her throat. A moment later, as bright
scissors of lightning slit the sky, Lee
saw her-her white arms circling the
trunk and her flimsy blue skirts flying
out around her. When he reached her
she let 60 everything and went straight
into his arms.
Before either Of them knew what
had happened, their lips were pressed
together. Her arms were around him
and she could feel the bones Of his
shoulders strong and sharp through
his uniform. She did not move She
didn't want to. His lips were like a
touch Of flame on her own and the
burn ran through her blood, leaving an
ache Of rapture, fear and utter capitu-

The engagement party was over.
Richard. Tippy and Ted were at Mar
cia's side, Richards arm about her
shoulders, urging her gently into the
hall and upstairs. The guests were
getting into their coats, preparing to
leave, yet daring not to because Of the
storm. Without a word to any one,
Patsy slipped out the side door and
down the fiagstone walk toward the
gardens, unconscious at first OF the
wall of wind that ran into her from the
east. When she did become conscious
of 1t she didn't want to 60 back, even
then. She felt as If she could never
face any of those people again.

was impossible to turn back. She
could no longer even open her eyes

as though she we're struck blind.

The boys who attended Tamal-
pals Academy in California used
to maintain that the reason so few
chickens were provided for the
Sunday dinner was because the
soup, which came first, was made
so well that we all filled up on it
and could eat but little chicken.
Furthermore, it was argued that
the reason the midday meal on
Sundays came an hour later than
on weekdays was to arouse within
us such hunger that we would gulp
down an extra supply of this soup.
1 used to affirm solemnly that
this soup legend was based on
gospel truth, but of late, as I have
come to look back on that Sunday
soup and the bland Chinese who
made it, l am getting to realize
that we had before US truly great
soup which we were too callow to
understand or appreciate.
All Tom was the cook and some
years after leaving that school, l
returned one day to consult with
Tom about that soup and out of
him / wheedled the recipe becauses
he remembered me as one boy who
showed extra regard for his cook
ing-even to the extent Of creeping
around, after hours, and cleaning
out the pan of baked beans which
he would leave on a pre-arranged
spot. All Tom was one grand cook
and in return for liberal praise he
provided much clandestine food,
outside Of regular meal times. But
of all the dishes he concocted, the
black bean soup which he general
ly made for Sunday dinner was
outstanding. Even in those days, I
was willing to make a meal Of it
and pass up even the chicken which
followed. In later years, / have
come to know that here was a
work of art. Tom told me, when I
was old enough to understand, that
he had been taught how to make
it by an English army man in
China. With the Chinese adherence
to detail and tradition and early
teaching, he chung rigidly to the
most minute steps, so it is safe to
say that the soup as we had it was
entirely up to the standard set By
that English army man. Where he

like Holsters, they are already cook

CarrOts-The Year
Round Dish, In Variety

Carrots are one vegetable that
are obtainable all year around and
are therefore probably served
more than any other vegetable in
your home. II is therefore wise to
know variety Of ways to prepare
them if for no other reason than
to keep the family from saying
carrots again."
MASHED CARROTS
Select young carrots, clean with
out scraping. Cut in slices, boil in
sailed water until tender, drain,
mash through fine sieve. Return
to fire, slowly evaporate the mois-
ture, finish with piece of butter
and sweet cream. Season with salt
and white pepper.
PICKLED CARROTS
Put plain boiled carrots (whole)
into a stone jar, add some mixed
spices, cover with vinegar. Use for
garnishing salads, etc.
CARROTS SOUFFLE
Prepare the same as mashed car
rots. Separate the required number
of fresh eggs Zone to a portion),
beat the yolks and mix with the
mashed carrots; whip the whites to
a stiff froth, stir gently into the
pulp. Put into paper cases, bake
in slow oven until it becomes a
rich golden color.

two beaten eggs, and enough bread
crumbs, not too stale and not too
fine, to absorb excess moisture and

bake until hot through and brown

fresh tomatoes are excellent accom-

Royal Toast A Whole
Meal-And A Delicious
One-In Itself

From the number of requests we
get for luncheon dishes we have
come to the conclusion that lunch
cons cause more worry fer the
housewife than is necessary.
If you are one of these people
here's recipe that we'd suggest
you paste in your scrap book.
ROYAL TOAST
1h cups Spanish sauce
3 chicken livers
" cup chopped smoked tongue
cup cold chicken
IL mushrooms
5 slices bread
Butter
Salt and pepper.
Put the Spanish sauce in sauce
pan, and add to it the mushrooms,
which have been peeled and sliced
thin, and the chicken livers cut in
two. Simmer very gently, with
saucepan covered, until the livers
are done; then add the cut up
chicken and tongue, and heat with
out boiling.
Cut the crust from the bread,
and from the middle of each slice
cut a round piece with the smallest
sized cookie-cutter. Fry both the
rings and the round pieces in but
ter until golden brown on both
sides. Put the rings on a hot plat
ter, cover them with an abundant
helping Of the meat mixture, and
place the round piece on top Of
each.
Any cold leftover meats may be
substituted for those indicated, al
though the dish usually has tongue
as base.

Novel Dressing

Routine Garnish
Home Made Mayonnaise Can
Be Varied By Adding Fruit
Juice Or Chill Sauce

Salad dressing is the life of the
salad. Of course, we can all make
French Dressing (although some
make it better than others) and
we all buy jars of Mayonnaise at
the store and dab the mayonnaise
all over, which is often good idea.
But in time we tire of these two
routine dressings and then it is
time to consider some novelties.
Now, here is home made dress
ing which is not only economical
but very appetizing and, best of all,
you can make up jar of it and
use what you want, putting the
rest into the refrigerator and using
It as needed for several days,
making variations, as you go along.

All through the spring time

"mess of green's" Turnip tops,
beet green's, mustard-tops, dande-

are at their best.
Starting some weeks ago, but
going right on up through these
months, the boiled dinners with
"greens" are truly American. Prob
ably no one spot, however, makes
so much of ritual of the dinner

have a thick crust. The pones
should be about an inch and a
