commented my father, "is injured
because Of her husbands being
involved with Miss Sinclair, and
she has collapsed because Of
rigid croSS-examination by the
police"
I had not considered the QueS-

but no doubt they had her in

the papers played up the possibil-
ity of her having followed her huS-

The st. Joseph Courier had

who had witnessed the "scene"
referred to in Comics letter.
This was spot-lighted for all the
sensationaliSm in it.

presumably to q neighboring
town for dinner. While sitting in
the car, he had tried to persuade
her that he cared more for her
than for just a friend. The news
paper did not say this nor did it
advance the supposition that he
tried to convince her that they
should seek some way to be mar

son for the scene, though, and
I don't care what others say.
The Courier emphasized only
the newSboy'S version Of the love
making he described. Any details
he might have forgotten were
recalled by the energetic repor-
ter who questioned him. It was
all messey, I'd say.

the less strenuous routine Of the continent. But for the energetic American there should be heartier fare, with dishes fully as ap. petiSing as those planned for the luncheon.
 That result can be had without greatly increasing the amount of food served at breakfast; for we no longer indulge in heavy morning meals. We may add substantially to the breakfast menu by including Q portion of some dainty jam or marmalade, to be eaten with the hot buttered toast or mullins or pancakes. There is pleasure to be derived from the fruit flavor of good preserves, and the sugar they contain is both stimulating and helpful to digestion.
 If you are serving SausageS and wish Q substitute for fried apples, which take some time to prepare, remember that tart preserves such as gooseberry, wild plum or currant conserve will make an excellent ace compartment. They are also good with grilied ham or bacon.
 The chef, as you know, does ex- traordinary things with crepes or pancakes = ogetn, by their dressing, rendering them elaborate enough to uses as c dessert. Jellies and jams make an appetizing addition to the buttered pancake, an deven so sirn- pie c dressing as one made of butt ter worked with sugar and a bit of flavoring will give the plain pam cake Q character.
 Usually these cakes Q re made thin; spread with butter ond jam or with the sugar and butter mix ture; then they are rolled up and served very hot. For family use, one may make larger pancakes-- thin ones-and place one on top of the other, with the sweet spread daintily applied between. Keep hot in the oven; when six or more have been baked and spread, cut in wedge shaped sections like piece of pie and serve to individual members.
 These are simple attentions which will cause you little extra thought or preparation, but I promise that they will add greatly to the satis- faction of the early morning meal.

The efacient hoEne-Tnaker keeps tomorrow in mind when cooking to- day. That is to say, she keeps enough of everything on her cup board shelves 60 that, when making pastry, she can make enough for two or three pie bakings. DO you do this2
 Having home-canned fruits on hand makes possible Q different pie filling for every day. With proper refrigeration the prepared dough, wrapped in oiled pape r, will keep for days. Tn fact, some cooks think pastry is better if it stands in the refrigerator for several hours, ct least, or better still several days.
 Canned respberries, blackberries, cherries, blueberries apples, peaches and apricots make excellent filings. With these fruits on hand, pies can be made In Q few minutes. These fruits are also valuable as break fast foods. Holne-caflned figs, apri. cots and apple sauce are especially nice to serve for the morning meal. With jars of pineapple and pears on hand, appetizing salads are easily made, and canned fruits always make Q satisfying dessert.
 So if cupboard shelves are begin. ming to look lean and bare--as they always do ct this season-let us re- jars durig summer twice as many solve right now to put into glass fruits and vegetables as we did last year.
 But there is one thing we can preserve now to great advantage, end that is oil kinds of meat and poultry. At present the prices of meat are exceedingly low. If we keep tomorrow in mind, today we can get ready at one time--at Q great saving--20 meals of beef, chicken, lamb or pork.
 These can be used In all usual ways, and also in many surprising new recipes. Omelets and soufEles in themselves, for example, are rather tasteless. But try adding some ham or horne.canned chicken, and see how the family will relish

 There is . considerable saving In Zine in preparing foods that have Been SO treated, because they have hesn picked. cleaned and already &rUpared before packing. Also the bocking time is considerably short. ened for the fact that the quick Breeding process has broken down kkhe thick walls of meats and the eibrous vegetables, and the large crystal formations that toughen the plow-frozen products are not pres.
