Place in pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven (35O degrees F.) until done (about 45 minutes) |. Loosen noodle ring around edges with a silver knife before turning out.
 Fresh Shrimp a Ia Newburg
 Three-fourths quart cooked and cleaned whole fresh shrimp Cor quick-frozen shrimp sprinkled with teaspoon onion juice, 1-2 teaspoon papdika, salt, pepper.

The only remedy is for a person to

and withdrew. Absorbed in her own
thoughts. she paused to take off her
evening wrap, toss it across chair
and stand looking around, deciding
where to sit. Curtis stared at her. As

was dressed in black but this time in a
deeply yoked dinner frock with tufted
sleeves. 1t swept inward caressingly
below her high breasts She was lovely,
beautiful with more than the beauty

wrapped her around like protecting
cloak. That was it - she wore beauty
as naturally as she wore stockings,
shoes or hair. Abruptly her dark eyes
became conscious of him and she
laughed.
What are you laughing at?':
you. Your face has such a funny
expression, as if as if you'd never
met me but would awfully like to"
That's right" said Curtis soberly:

sank on the couch. tucking one leg
under her with suppleness that re-
minded him almost with shock how
young she was.

"In plenty of time to have chat

"Well? questioned Curtis. his face
grave. What did he say? suppose
the game is up as far as Moordaunt
is concemed?'
Just the opposite, Curtis. thought

They descended from the cab and
stood for a moment just within the
entrance. then Curtis said:
Good night. JOAN"
Tomorrow, Curtis"
He paid off the cab and walked
homeward, shoulders braced but head
fallen. A single phrase rang in his ears
such a small and cruel question"
He had been asking that very ques-
ton about himself and Audrey, not
only tonight but for many days. Cruel
to whom? But was that what Joan
had meant? No: cruel to love itself.

twin wings of faith and belief lend to
blundering man the power of miracu-

Eric rang Curtis bell at eight the
next morning.
What's up?' he asked Eric.
1T may be plenty and it may be
nothing. When I got through saying
good night to you two. l saw guy

How was he dressed?'
Like a chauffeur out of a play, the
kind that never had to butter his
hands to cut the grease. Pretty soon
saw he was trying to pick me up
and thought fight would be a swell
way to top off the evening, 50 l let
him open the conversation. We had a
lot of drinks, me waiting all the time
for him to give the signal for a punch.
But he didn't; he did something else.
He slugged me with words"
What words?' asked Curtis.
He said," said Eric. IF had any,

money not to be simp and sell it at
half price to anybody else before he
could talk to his boss. Have you been
shooting your mouth?'
Its just what l haven't done."

What answer did you give him?"

He had no appointment for lunch
with Audrey that day. but telepboned
and demanded one. She replied that
it was impossible. but on his insistence
consented to see him between one and
half past at the hotel. When he reached
the suite he was not surprised to find
she had arranged to have his mother
