Transforming her physical self for her role in
the spectacular Broadway presentation OF
TheAmericanWay, where ewasappearing
with her husband, Fredric March.
This play marked Florence's return to the
stage after period of strict domesticity.
And it brought two joint awards to her and
her husband. First came the Claire M. Senie
drama award in April and then. late in May,
the Badge of Tolerance, presented by COM
mittee of other important dramatic stars -
Helen Hayes, Irving Berlin, Taylor Holmes,
and Eddie Dowling. Then the play closed
temporarily and the cast, which had played
to more than 100000 persons, had respite
until the middle of July when the play
opened second time.
Though Florence loves the stage, she also
loves her private life. To the ordinary person,
geared to a routine where work is an un-
romantic. though important, matter con-

necessity, she, like anyone in her profession,
must certainly alter the normal time-pattern
somewhat. But that is all. Outside of business
hours she, too, is concerned with the children,
the house, the meal-planning. the discovery
or invention of recipes to add variety to
family meals.
Perhaps your readers would be interested
in pineapple dessert we evolved, " she said.
1t is extremely simple really, nothing more
than a pineapple sherbet - but with this
important addition: we mince preserved
ginger and stir it through the sherbet mixture

bine wonderfully. And it is very nice to serve
this sherbet in the scooped-ou hollow of half
the pineapple. We usually have ginger cookies
with it, too"
Inspired by Florence's example, we also did
little experimenting with pineapple, though
we used the canned fruit instead of the fresh.
The result was several new dishes and bever
ages, and also the salad which is illustrated
on this page and for which the recipe follows:
Pineapple Cheese Mold
Tablespoons gelatin
IN cups canned unsweetened pineapple
juice
n cup sugar
II teaspoon salt
Juice of lime
cup canned crushed pineapple
Il cup thick mayonnaise
cup cottage cheese
Soften gelatin in u cup of the pineapple
juice. Dissolve in remaining pineapple juice
which has been heated to boiling. Add sugar,
salt and lime juice. Remove from heat and
chill until it begins to CONCEAL. Then beat until
thick and fluffy like whipped cream. Fold in
crushed pineapple. n1ayonnaise and cottage
cheese, which have been mixed. Turn into
cold wet quart mold (or individual molds)
and chill until set. Unmold on large platter.
Surround with crisp chicory. Garnish with
radish roses and stuffed olives. Serve with
pineapple French Dressing. Yield: 6 portions.
Pineapple is only one of several fruits for

interesting variations. She has special way
of baking apples and the outcome is most
happy She cooks them with conserved orange

Sunday morning breakfast parties, which
have become traditional during the last few
years in many American cities, are the pre-
ferred form of entertaining in the Eldridge-
March household. I'VE often have ten or
twelve" Florence says. 1T is time wnen We
can take our time and really eat in peace.
Sometimes we have apples baked the way /
described before. And as main dish We find
it satisfactory to serve scrambled eggs with
kidneys or sausages. That with popovers and
currant Jelly and good coffee, makes about as
pleasing a meal as anything know Of"
Toa question about the distinction between
masculine and feminine tastes in food, Florence
repudiates the idea that sex enters in at all.
Il never have this feeling about what men

like delicate food; others like only substantial
dishes But women react in the same way

mixture on serving dish, circle it with rasp

Florence also gave us two new wrinkles for
preparing vegetables. Try peas cooked with
the tiniest bit of garlic, she says. They are
especially nice when you serve roast lamb
with mint sauce. Or if you are not having
mint sauce with the lamb, use mint instead
of the garlic in the peas"
String beans she transforms into an en-
trely different dish by cooking them with
mushrooms. You chop the mushrooms very
fine and cook them first in meat stock. Mean

aged Mrs. Barbara Tate and her
daughter, Mrs. Jennie Ershick, are
the principals, fared again in COM
mon pleas court.
A suit filed with Clerk of Courts
w. L. Smith was brought by Mrs
Tate who asked the court to quiet
her title to her property. 1t named
Mrs. Ershick and the plaintiff
granddaughter, Mrs. Helen (Ershick) }

In previous action, Judge A. A.
Slaybaugh ruled that a mortgage on

Miley, a mortgage to the property,
which was conditional on Mrs. Err
shick's promise to give Mrs. Tate a
home.
Now Mrs. Tate declared that her
daughter has not abided by terms of

Ershick's mortgage on the property
given to Mrs. Miley and deed from
Mrs. Tate to Mrs. Ershick be strick-

but I didn't mean any reflection on

Autumn laughed, won out of her
depression somewhat, in spite of
herself. "Where is Elinor?" she
, asked.
Linda waved a languid arm. "God
knows. Probably down pruning the

at this time of year. Or she may

little odd, poor Elinor, but you'll like
her."
"I'm sure / shall like all of you"
Autumn said, little helplessly.
''I'm not at all sure" Linda pro-
tested. "We're a bit touched, if
you ask me. The stock is good
enough, but something must have
gone wrong in the breeding. The
family takes itself quite seriously,
too-except Florian and me. We
spend most of our time laughing at
the others-and ourselves"
''There's saving grace in that"
Autumn remarked.
you're the only thing Florian has
ever taken seriously-except polo,"
Linda observed, blowing smoke

coolly.
But she colored as she felt Linda's
scrutiny change to mobile, slow
sort of approval.

Linda added. You'd make dec

The girl was part and parcel of
all that Autumn had left behind her
in Europe. Behind her mask of
Incidence there was a rapacity for
living. Autumn knew her kind very
well, though she was somewhat sur
prised to find it here.
'Are you in love with Florian, by
any chance?" Linda asked suddenly
as Autumn tossed her negligee about
her shoulders and thrust her feet
into her mules.

She snatched her hat and gloves
from the chair and abruptly turned
to the door.

his voice trembling.

torted. $50 longi"
He took ker arm gently. won't

"You had your chance to do that
last week." she told him. "It's too
late for that now."
She flung out of the house and ran
to her car. In a moment she was
climbing out of the valley on the
winding trail that led to Kelowna.
The room into which the younger
Parr girl led Autumn was cool and
fragrant with roses. 1t had been
done in pale green and ivory. A
rug of fawn-color covered the floor.
"What a sweet roomi" Autumn
said as she glanced about her.
"Im glad you like it," said the
girl in a voice of careful Incidence.

She pointed with her cigarette hold

The girl was slender ash-blonde,
with eyes of hazy violet, and lips
that were brilliantly rouged.
The open doorway that led to the
adjoining room revealed a mauve-
toned boudoir that somehow seemed
perfect setting for the girl.

Youth Held In Theft
Of Eggs

A 17-year-old Continental youth
was held in the Putnam county jail
in Ottawa, charged with the theft
of two cases of eggs from Coral
Henry, Continental produce dealer.
Sheriff Arnold Potts said the
youth admitted entering Henry's
place of business with key and
carrying away the eggs. The youth
was employed by Henry.
The eggs were sold to an Ottawa
produce firm. The suspect was ar
rested by GAINESVILLE police, where he
fled after disposing of the eggs.

Throughout the interminable night
Autumn knelt at her window in the
darkness, watching the stars wheel
across the sensuous velvet of a sky
lately cleared of rain, until at last
the blood red sail of waning moon
stood in the west, and she knew it
was only brief hour or so before
dawn. Cramped with chill, she crept
back into bed. In the fitful sleep
that came to her, she dreamt that
Bruce Landor was dead, and that
somehow she had caused his death.
She awoke to a thin, gray daylight,
to find that her face was wet with
tears. In the reality of her dream,
she turned over on her pillow and
gave herself up to despondent weep
ing.
Later at their early breakfast ta-
BILE, which Hannah had made lovely
with a centerpiece of daisies and
cowslips on yellow linen cloth, Au-
tumn met her father with a mood as
fresh and bright as Hannah's flow
ers. She had dressed in skirt and
jacket of bright blue wool, with
gay ruffled blouse of sheer batiste, a
costume which had once before
drawn from Jarvis one of his rare
expressions of pleasure.
"I'm all ready to leave for Ke-
lowna, d." she said. 'tI do wish
you were going along. 1t would do
you heaps of good"
He looked at her with surprise.
ST didn't think you were going till
this afternoon" he said.
"I've changed my mind" she re-
piled.
Hannah brought in the steaming
cereal. As the old woman busted
herself about the table, Autumn
stole a glance at her father. It was
apparent that he had had a sleep
less night. Haggard lines under
scored his eyes, and his stern mouth
was set in straight line of pain.
But his manner betrayed nothing of
what he had suffered during the
night.
He glanced up with heavy frown
at Hannah.
did you remember to salt the
oatmeal this morning?" he asked
with elaborate severity.
Hannah glanced at him disdain-
fully. "Salt causes hardening of
the arteries" she retorted.
There's plenty in yon porridge for
you, sir"
Autumn laughed, and Jarvis pre-
tended to heave deep, patient sigh.
The meal progressed with small talk
of things about the ranch, of the
children of Tom Willmar, the fore
man, of the likelihood of a good
fruit and hay crop. If Autumn had
never before been grateful for the
presence of old Hannah, she gave
silent thanks now to that homely,
faithful body who sat at table with
them, unconsciously helping to tide
them over painfully difficult hour.
The meal finished, Autumn pre-
pared at once to leave for Kelowna.
She did not again urge Jarvis to ac-
company her, but before she got
into her car she threw her arms
about his neck and clung to him for
a long moment without a word.
mo doldrums now, Daddy" she
whispered.
He smiled at her, a grim, twisted
smile, and she slapped him mannish-
ly on the shoulder and then was
obliged to turn away as she saw
the tears start to his bleak eyes.
$50 long, darlingi" she sang and
jumped quickly into the car.
"Taka care of yourself" he said
huskily, land don't drive too fast.
Good-by-good-by!'
