Sw edlsh Pancakes


Dear Mrs. Post. taj When
Swedish pancakes arc passed
around for dessert. how many
cakes is each one supposed 70
take? (bJ And have noticed
that small knife and fork are
provided. Since it doesn't seem
necessary to me 70 cut these cakes
with a knife. Is 1t improper to cut
them with fork alone and pay
no attention 10 the knife Per
haps the knife is provided Just pc
cause it's etiquette 10 do so.
Answer: "a This depends TO a
certain extent upon the height and
number OF the stacks OF cakes and
the number OF people for whom
the stacks are intended. In other
words, when the supply is mod
crate. you must be sure not to
take more than your portion OF
whatever the amount might be
divided equally. When the plat
ter is stacked plentifully you take
as many, or as few. as you like
one inch, two inches or even two
and r half inches, fbl You need
never use an implement that IS
not necessary. II a knife is sup
piled and you want to use it,
then use 1t. In the same way.
when a fork and spoon are
brought in on the dessert plate,
you NAV use both Il you want TO-
or on the other hand. you may
use whichever one you prefer
alone.

Expenses for Having Church
Funeral

Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
regular fee given to a minister
who has officiated at a funeral +?
And what is generally given to
the organist who provided the
music?
Answer: I can't answer about
all churches, but in all those about
which I happen to know person
ally Protestant onesl the clergy
men never expect, and only on &C.
casion receive, anything as fee
for funeral. It is true that a
clergyman does receive a fee for
a marriage, but that is quite
different thing, since the bride
groom prepares in advance for the
giving of this fee. A funeral, on
the other hand, comes at the end
of perhaps very long expense
for illness and with the family
facing the other necessary eX-
penses for funeral arrangements,
and the family is often in a posi-
ton where any added burden
would be uncomfortable. At the
same time, those who can afford
to pay generally do either give a
fee to the clergyman personally,
or make n contribution to his
parish. Quite apart from this. the
bill for opening the church. which
includes heating and lighting and
busting. and music-whether it be
that OF an organist or a full choir
is always rendered to the fam
lily, except of course in a case
where the organist or the soloist
is friend of the family who has
volunteered his or her services.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TW

Angela and Daniel Armstrong
reached home late that night. The
town was asleep. Even the street
lights were off as the car stopped
before the rambling, old house at
the top of the hill There was no
one to see as Angela walked
around the porch to the side door.
Aunt Annals room and her own
on the front were dark. Her
fathers room was in the back
The house was ominously quiet as
they went inside. Angela laid a
frightened hand upon the doctors
arm.
Dan. you don't think anything
has happened, do you? He
isn't -
She waited cold with apprehen-
sion in the little island of light
cast by one lamp. In the sur
rounding darkness the heavy fur
niture looked mcnacing and I'M
familiar. Tragedy leered at her
from the shades of the dining
room.
Don't Die
"oh, God she prayed, please
don't let him die Please"
1t seemed an eternity before she
heard footsteps on the stairs. It
was Aunt Anna in dressing gown
and slippers looking saddcr than
Angela had ever seen her.
her arms.
How is he ?"
VERY bad" Anna admitted. HE
had sinking spell after Daniel
left this morning. We had to call
Or. Hagedorn. We didn't know
where Daniel was"
Can / see him, Auntie?"
Yes! But Daniel wants to tell
him first that you are here. Thank
God you came, Angela. 1t will save
him If anything can"
An instant later Daniel was in
the room.
Don't cry now, Angela. And
don't try to talk"
Eagerly she promised, but her
knees were shaking so that she
could scarcely walk as she entered
her fathers ROOM A nurse was
standing at the foot of the bed in
which he lay looking pitifully
shrunken. His cheeks no longer
rosy.
One arm helpless. One corner
of his mouth twisted. But his
eyes burning with such terrible
joy that she could not bear to look
at them.
YOU CAME BACK" he whis-
pered.
Yes, darling. l came back. I'm
never going to leave you again"
Anna Heath burst into tears and
fled from the room, but 1t did not
disturb him. His eyes were
fastened upon Angela as II he
could never see enough OF her. 1t
occurred TO her then that neither
Aunt Anna nor her father had
seemed to see the scar.
In her own room which looked
so luxurious after her quarters in
Molly's attic, she gazed at her.

while he had lost his head for
/ few weeks over Angela Heath,
/ that had been over as soon as she
went to the city. Angela had
! kissed him goodbye at the station
and called him darling" in front
of everybody. but Leslie couldn't
have cared much, because he had
started going steady with Evelyn
right after that.
No doubt Angela would be glad
enough to have chance at him
now. Somebody said that was
probably the real reason she had
come back . . Well, 1t served her
right =.
Milton who had wondered him
self how she felt about 1t dared
not ask.
But when he glanced at her to
see how she was taking 1t he
found her smiling.
"Ill never forget the day Evelyn
wouldn't invite ME to her party.
Aunt Anna said she was crazy
about Leslie then"
How long ago 1t seemed since
she had come storming home to
ask Aunt Anna about her mother.
Later that same night Leslie had
asked her to marry him. She had
refused because she wanted more
exciting romance Well, she had
had II and what had it brought
her? Walter Jameson had made
no effort to get in touch with her
although she knew that Daniel had
written of her return. And Philip
where was he Seeking an escape
from the devils that haunted him
wherever he might be. She felt
no resentment toward him.
Certainly none toward Walter
who had admitted from the first
that 1t was her beauty he loved.
But now that her father was bet
ter what should she do with her
life? Daniel had said IL Milton
would be careful he could eventu-
ally go TO the store for half day.
Aunt Anna needed no assistance
in running the house. II would be
impossible to do nothing.
Angela had promised her father
not TO return to the city while he
lived and she intended TO keep
that promise. She wanted 10 keep
il, but when her actual services
were no longer needed what would
she do with her time? The rest
less urge for activity was upon her
again and how was she TO sat
isfy it,
The first day her father went
down town she felt more forlorn
than she had a. any time since
her return. Then an idea came TO
her and early in the afternoon she
was swinging down Main street on
her way TO Daniels office.
