How to Serve Artichokes
Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
proper time during the meal to
serve artichokes? I have noticed
that there are special plates for
serving them and this leads me to
believe they should be served as .
separate course.
Answer: They are served either
before or after the meat course
sometimes in place Of the fish.
sometimes in place of the salad,
sometimes between meat and salad
exactly as asparagus with hol-
landaise sauce is served as a sep
arate course

hesitated. Florabelle said, And

"oh, Florabelle." Clara breathed
excitedly, That's swell - simply

admitted. "What-what kind of a

Clara's eye sparkled. "Will we
meet swell fellows? ?" She had a
definite idea of swell fellows
They worked in offices behind big
mahogany desks, they spent their
evenings in night clubs. She had
seen them in the movies.
THE best families In town will

sured her with little grimace.

Both Clara and Ann shook theii

SIS A WEEK

"Will there be man for
Clara ?"
Florabelle nodded. Three men
will be there. Clancy Horton--he's
mine and don't you forget 1t for
minute-Jake Bontel and Steve
Claybourne. Steve goes with the
North Side crowd. Occasionally
he likes to meet the other half"
Ann was a little dubious about
the affair. She had the feeling
that Florabelle was railroading her
into something. On the other
hand, she was eager for gaiety.
Dinner and dancing-it sounded
delightful.
Florabelle took her acceptance
for granted. Just wait till Steve
Claybourne sees Clara" she said,
laughing lazily.
There was furry of baths and
dressing in the apartment the next
evening. Ann wore the new blue
dress and little pancake hat. Her
hair was like gold, vivid color
burned in her cheeks, her eyes
were mysteriously dark. Flora
bellies gown was black. sleek and
plain. At her throat she wore an
immense rhinestone clip. A smart
ly yelled hat partially covered her
ash blonde head.
Clara was a living demonstra-
ton of what girl should not
wear. The cerise dress fought
with the shade of her rouge, her
flame colored nails fought back.
She'd had her hair done at noon
and her head had an ice-bound
look. Bangle bracelets jingled
from her wrists, a bib necklace
of raw gold covered her chest.
Aren't You going to wear any
jewelry?" she asked Ann.
II haven't anything nice"
Gee, wish I'd known it. They
have swell stuff at the store"
Ann looked at Clara's decora-
lions and was not in the least en-
vious. They found cab waiting
at the curb and Ann quietly en-
joyed the unaccustomed luxury.
Clara's pleasure was less quiet.
Ann said. Il wonder why the
men didn't come for us"
} Florabelle glanced at her quiz
zically. She said nothing.
II was long drive and Clara's
, excitement rose as the meter
! climbed. Look at that thing,
! she kept saying. Gee, they must
be rich"
At last they stopped before an
apartment hotel on Sheridan drive.
Florabelle gracefully led the way
to an elevator and they shot up
ward, AIMS doubts increasing
with every floor.

she said firmly. Are you plan

She knocked on closed door
and 1t swung open. A large,
beefy man with several chins and
a bullying waistline beamed out at
them.
Three little gifts from heaven,
he proclaimed loudly.

Nazi Merchant Shin
Captured Off Cuba
By Dutch Warship
Rhein Is Lost of Three
Vessels That Attempted
Dash From Mexico
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Dutch destroyer Van Kins-
bergen, a surprise companion of
British men-o'-war on Atlantic
blockade duty, today had accounted
for the last of three German mer-
chant ships which slipped out of the
harbor at Tampico, Mexico.
The Van Kinsbergen took possess
sion of the Rhein, 6,02l-ton German
freighter, off the coast of Cuba,
naval authorities here announced
last night. This terse statement was
the first intimation here that
Netherlands warships were operating
in conjunction with British in west
ern waters.
The navy reported the freighter's
Nazi crew attempted to Scuttle their
vessel to prevent its seizure by the
Van Kinsbergen. An independent
source asserted that the merchant
man also had been set on fire when
tne destroyer closed IN.
Idarwald Scuttled Sunday.
Another German freighter, the
5,033-to IdarWald, which steamed
out of Tampico with the Rhein No.
vember 20, was scuttled by her crew
Sunday when intercepted by the
British cruiser Diomede
AS early as November IS, the
Rhein, Idarwald and a sister ship,
the Phrygia, had attempted to steal
out of the Mexican gulf port, with
disastrous consequences for the
Phrygia.
The Phrygia's master, believing he
was about to be captured by enemy
ships which had been reported lurk-
ing outside the harbor bar, ordered
his vessel scuttled. A fourth Ger
man cargo vessel, the Orinoco, was
halted by engine trouble before she
could clear Tampico Harbor, and
still is there.
Radio Call Sent Out.
A few hours after the Rhein left
her Mexican sanctuary, her radio
dispatched this message: "Rhein
being followed by warships."
Further word of her fate was lack
ing until announcement of her cap
ture.
Meager details available here did
not set the time that the Rhein was
overhauled by the Van Kinsbergen.
A Netherlands Legation official here
said that other units of the Dutch
Navy were operating with the British
patrol in the Western Atlantic. The
number and types of the ships were
withheld as military secret.
