flesh and are slightly elongated
in shape. These, unlike canta-
loups, are best picked when they
are still growing. So on the mar
ket they usually have their stems
attached. These are ready to eat
when there is just change from
light green to paler green in
the skin. And there is often a
slight tinge of yellow.
Chilling Important
"But no matter how adept the
aomemaker gets at picking the
good ones there probably always
will be a slight feeling Of sus-
pense just before the melon is cut
up to be served. For the final
and most important test Of all is
the tasting.
ITO prepare melons for eating
chill them. Some homemaEers
like to wrap them and keep them
in the refrigerator. Others pre-
fer to keep them outside because
of the penetrating musky odor
that sometimes pervades the re-
frigerator.
IF the muskmelon is not chill
ed in the refrigerator, serve
halves of the small ones in chip
ped ice. Clipped ice in the cen
ter is not satisfactory way Of
chilling the melon. For while the
ice locks cool at the beginning,
the ice water that soaks into the
maioa maar i;i1tas tie fiGTor."

PARIS STYLES

racing at Longchamp. The phrase
centuries up not only visions OF
dark horses running in the moon
light, but Of Partisan society dis
able gowns. The 1888 night races
playing the ultimate III fashion
furnished proof that evening
styles are as varied as the figures
that wear them.
Youthful and bouffant organ
Zas Haunted their spirit Of mai
vcte in the face of sophisticated
slim black Satins. Fresh flowers
Wed wit hparadise and ostrich
plumes as hair decorations.
For downright sophiStication
there was Countess +. Oppcrs-
DORIS black satin tunic worn over
a black satin plcated skirt and
topped by Il hcaddresS Of flame
colorcd paradise plumcs; or Coun-
tess LadiSlaS du luard's' long
white marocain dress, high-neck-
cd and lonG-Sleeved -- worn with
Il coiffurc Of white ostrich fcath-
erS Ga veil hanging in back and
huge supple muff all OF the
same feathers. Both were Main
bocher models.
Pearl gray silk mousSeline
made the cIoud-like robe worn by
Princessc Amcdee de Broglie. The
full circular skirt floated from i
crushed scarf belt of cerise NOUS
seine whose ends hung to the
ground--a Lucien Lclong crea-
ton. Another striking outfit from
the same house was the navy blue
jersey evening gown worn by
Mime. Lucien Robert. Over the
gown she wore Il full length coat
Of mauve wool, sunray pleatcd
from waist to ankles.
| Two huge red roSes--onc on
each shoulder $780,. were the only
trimming on Nine. Schuellcr dc
! PerSum'S drapcd white crepe
dress, over which she wore long
evening coat Of black faille. A
big buckle Of four green jewels,
uncut, held the draped neck Of
! ComteSSe dc Ganay's rose crepe
gown.
A long red taffeta cape gave i
Little Red Riding Hood effect to
Mile. Nicole Lelong, whose dress
itself was of white taffeta trim
med in red taffeta. Shantung,
printed in an all over design Of
vivid flowers, made the long
lgown worn by Mrs. James Hen
messy.
Variety in cut and fabric was,
in fact, the keynote of the Long

come to her. and finally she step
ped out on the balcony which
, opened on to her room.
A pale. yellow moon rode high
in the sky with one guardian star
poised brightly watchful. 4 thin
cloud drifted mistily, lazily by
like Il wiSp of veil discarded by

lonesome notes rose with the FAINT

corral and then the night was
broken by the sharp report OF
rifle shot. NiIlki started, and then
her eyes went To the scattered
cabins below her in an effort to
trace the sound.
There were no lights. but IN
the interviewer shadows traced by
the cabins and the trees. Nlkkl
suddenly saw Il dark figure dart
across Il rath of light.
II was man and she saw him
hesitate. look quickly about him
and then run swiftly to the cabin
I that Bancroft and Sarto occupied.
Just he.ure the cabins shadows
swallowed him. some gesture or
movement caught her eye with Il
SURGE OF recognition.
1t, Sarto. she Thought. IT
couldn't be anyone else. But why?
Before She could even hazard
guess at her own question, she
caught the clamor Of voices be-
low and hr unclc's:
What in tarnation is %oln' OH
around here"
Nikki threw dressing robe
over her pajamas and hurried
down the steps just a. her Uncle
J Jim came out on the reranda.

out Of his door.
He was holding rifle in one

up to the pair on the porch and
said alphabetically:

Fiske apologized again for his
carelessnesS and said that he
guessed he would finish the task
in the morning.
Nikki wanted to inquire if he

sworn there wasn't q light in the
cabin before the Shto sounded.
But she remained silent and
watched while her uncle accom-
panied FiSke back To his cabin
and the men returned To the
clubhouse.
Then she glanced at the cabin
occupied by Bancroft and Sarto.
1t was dark and quiet and all too
peaceful looking.

Modern Menus
BY MRS. GAYN0R MADDOX
NEA Service Stan Writer

THIS is the season of many
i melons. Do you know how
TO buy cantaloups, honeydews
and honeyballs? The Depart
meEt of Agriculture knows the
answers. Here they are.
Best cantaloupS for eating are
picked off the vine ripe-not
green or overripe. TO chec!. on
this, examine the stem end Of the
cantaloup. Picked full ripe 1t
will have a smooth even scar with
no stem at all attached. But the
cantaloup picked green will have
a portion of the stem attached. Or
there will be rough place where
it was pulled out.
Next, look the whole caata-
loup over critically. 1t should be
firm, well Melted. And the color
underneath these MEETINGS should
be a light golden yellow. See
that this golde,. yellow color is
uniform all over the melon. Ov-
GRIPPE canteloups will have a
pale. faded-yelloW ground color.
In underripe ones this will be a
pure green or ligh; canary yell
low
Odor Denotes RipenesS
Some cantaloups do their own
advertising when hey are ripe,
for then their characteristic mus
KY odor becomes more notice
able. And in some varieties,
good sweet melon Will have lit
tie globuleS of sugar about the
stem scar. These are a sort of
cherry red color-about the size
Of pencil point
"Honeyballs and honeydewS are
popular muSkmelonS that do not
come IN the cantaloup class. The
honeyball is only slightly Melted
and when ripe its skin changes
from a lighush green to light
ish yellow. Its flesh is spicler and
sweeter than that Of the cAnta-
lOup.
