A Sherbet For Summer Dessert

Follow the lead of Paris and use trimmings to give festive air-to your meals, not to your clothes.

TESTED RECIPES
ERASED MEAT DISHES

One of the popular ways of cook ing the economy cuts is by braising. Pot roasts, Swiss steaks, beef and veal birds" are examples of this way of cooking. The method is to dredge the meat first in flour if you wish and brown in hot lard. Then it is placed in 8 dish with tight cover. A very small amount of li- quid is added, and the meat is cooked at simmering temperature either on top of the range or in the oven, until it is tender. The length of time depends upon the size and shape of the cut as well as the kind

Instead of shoestring potatoes, with broiled chops, meat patties or steak, you will like French fried on- ions-perhaps the most delicate way in which you can prepare on- ions. Always use the sweet onions the Spanish or Formulation this purpose. Slice the onions and cov- CT them with cold milk for at least an hour.

CHAPTER VII

Norwood left his horse in charge
of the sails at the palace front gate.
He intended to return and ride up
the long drive to the front door for
his formal call on the Maharajah.
But the footpath to the guesthouse
was shorter than the winding car
riage-road, so he walked, to leave
the iodine for Mrs. Harding. On the
way he saw Lynn and Rundhia.
Lynn was no longer in riding
breeches. She looked delicious in
a trock of nile-green print and
wide leghorn hat. Norwood wasn't
sure, but he suspected she knew
she could be seen from the guest
house veranda, and that Rundhia
did not know. She and Rundhia
were laughing. Suddenly Rundhia
snatched her hat off, used it as a
shield to hide behind, caught her
in his arms and kissed her. 1t was
no fool of kiss. It was an expert
ence. Lynn did make a show of re-
sistance. She struggled free and
recovered her hat.
Norwood's view of it, against the
background of the leghorn hat, made
him set his jaw. But he relaxed it
again and smiled, bit grimly, a
bit maliciously. From the opposite
direction he had heard what sound
ed like an oath, although it was
nothing worse than the well-bred, al
most inarticulately gurgled word:
'Hussy!"
Aunty Deborah Harding had also
seen that lingering and only laugh
ingly resisted kiss.
Aunty was on the screened We
randa, propped on pillows, on a
reed chaise Tongue, with a table
beside her. A native servant was
just in the act of removing a tray
of breakfast things.
May I approach" asked Nor
wood, cor are you purdah?"
who is it? can't see you. Oh,
yes, Captain Norwood, come in if
you can bear the sight of me. I
should look presentable. I never
had so many women in all my life
to push and pull me about. This is
my second attempt at meal this
morning. You'll have to run away
If can't keep it down. What has
brought you, pray, at this hour?"
He had forgotten the iodine.

''Will you bring my niece here?
She's beyond those trees, talking to
someone. I want her to come here
and talk to me. Will you tell her I
said so, and please don't take no
for an answer"
Norwood strolled across the lawn,
tapping his boots with riding whip.
He coughed couple of times. BY
the time he had peered around the
trees, Lynn and Rundhia were seat
ed opposite each other on wicker
work chairs. Lynn seemed unself-
conscious. Rundhia looked venom
ously sly; he offered Norwood no
greeting whatever.
'I happened to be calling on your
aunt said Norwood, land she
asked me to say that she wants to
see you"
Lynn looked dubious: ''What sort
of mood is she in?"

Ellsworth shares ambition with Ad-
miral Byrd, as with British, Nor
wegian, French and Argentinan
f1yer-explorers. Difference is that,
whereas Mr.. Ellsworth's motives
are purely scientific, in other cases
international politics in their rela-
ton to geographical claims are the
incentives.
Love of adventures manifested
when yet in his teens sent Els
worth forth to explore unknown
regions in different parts of the
world. Scion of wealthy parents,
born in Chicago in 1880, he could
have ordered his career, had he
wished, along many lines less
strenuous and of fewer hazards
than the one he chose and in
which he has become SO distin-
guished. He came east to a crack
seat of secondary learning, the
Hill school, POttstOwn, Pa, and
upon graduation entered Column
bia where he won scholastic hon.
Ors in the department of civil
engineering. But, becoming res
tive under the sedentary routine
of student life, he did not wait
to be graduated.
Faring forth into the wild, he be-
came an aXman on the first Grand
Trunk Pacific railway survey of the
transcontinental route across Cana
da. For five years he saw the vir-
gin land of the Northwest, lived
among Indians, shared the hard
ships of pioneers. In 1907 he became
resident engineer of the Grand Trunk
at Prince Rupert, B. c..
But his work, filled though it was
with hardship and adventure, was not
enough. Restlessness was in his
soul and the unknown beckoned. So
1909 found him in the Peace river
district in northern Canada, pros
pecting for gold. Then the World
war came and, seeking action, he
went to France where he became
an aviator long before the United
States entered the strife.
The real turning point in his
career came with his meeting
with Raoul Amundsen in Paris
in 1924. With the great Nor
wegian explorer he participated
in various expeditions culminat-
ing in 1926 with the famous
fight in a dirigible over the
North pole. Since then subse-
quent trips of exploration won
him enhanced fame and added
thrilling chapters to a gallant
life of action.
