"Prejudice?" The Lieutenant tar

that makes me feel the way | do
about Carl Osbourne. Let me tell
YOU a few things about that - that
wolf:
"He married my sister when she
was eighteen. He was old enough to
be her father, but she fell for him.
Hard. Blindly,
'It wasn't his money, although
he's rich enough. He has way with
women. and he was mad about Mar
cia. He took her away from the fam
ily; said we we're trying to break up
the marriage. And he was lnsanely
Jealous: followed her, or had her fol-
lowed, until at last she gave up try

And she still loves a guy like
that?" asked Katy.

sort of fascination. She loves him,
right enough; but while she never
says so - she loves him too much
for that Il think she stands IN

it,"
And yet," the Lieutenant went
on thoughtfully, "he is good to her,
in a way. Gives her everything,

interest.

afternoon, hadn't seen Marcia for
several years. She might have been
wearing it then; wouldn't have no

had the collar of her coat turned up.
Not very lovely thing, is it?" He
studied the plain white stone for a
moment, and ran one thumb over
the surface.
"Hydrophane," he said absently.

down and slipped into his coat.

regretfully, that the Lieutenant

WHILE Katy was in the kitchen

was stare blankly at the brooch,

"Is Cheese Worth The POints!''
Beatrice Hall, Chief Nutrionist of Conn., Dairy and Food Council Provides Satisfactory Evidence to Answer in
 the Affirmative

but as little variation, use noodles spaghetti, or rice in place of tEe macaroni. American cheddar cheese is excellent for Welsh rarebit, if you are clever in using seasonings. Of course, you need not always put tke rarebit sauce over crackers or toast. but use hard cooked eggs or even a vegetable. Broccoli, cauliflower, as- paragus, or cabbage are some of the vegetables that have 8 strong --af- finity for cheese. Rice croquettes are good not only with creamed chicken over them, but for change a good, thick, creamy cheese sauce Another main dish is cheese and vegetable shortcake. Use a garden assortment of vegetables, after they are cooked, add them to a nutritious cream sauce and serve over hot split cheese biscuits.
 Grated cheese. the kind you grate into slivers, put over mixed green salads or fresh fruit salads, adds zest to them. Have you ever tried using a slice of apple in place of Q cracker as the conveyor for cheese2
 Yes, cheese is worth the points. There is a great deal of food value concentrated in this dairy product yet, at the same time, it is moder- ately priced food. There are many possibilities for cheese, but treat it gently. Like eggs, if you are going to cook cheese, cook it at a low temperature if you want to prevent the stringiness.

Latest Styles

Would you girls with the short hair. dos like to wear your hair occasionally in Q long, glamorouS page boy bob, or have Q coronet of braids, or provocative bangs, or pos- sibly Q dramatic contrasting streak in your high pompadour9
 Well, it's perfectly possible to wear your hair in all these styles and many more, even though your hair is no longer than three inches. No, it's not done with mirrors, but with chignons-thoSe false hair pieces which you can buy for as little as 25 cents each.
 It's Q toss-up as to which caa do more to perk up a woman's spirits--a new hat or a new hairdo. But there's no question which costs less. Mir. Michel, director of fam ous New York hair salon, gives us these few pointers in faShioning false hair pieces.
 To make @ chignon, take three 50-cent tresses. Remove binding at top and spread hair out. Sew the three pieces together, winding tape around and around the top until the end of the third piece is reach- ed. Now, divide into three sections. Roll two outer sections over two rats to form two vertical rolls. The inside piece is then rolled up at right angles to meet the vertical rolls. Pin together with hairpins, and sew comb to the back so that you may attach it to your own hair.
 For false bangs, take three 25- cent hair pieces, remove outer bind- ing at top and sew together as making the chignon. Cut the hair to a l2-inch length, attach comb at the back and set in pin curls. Dry overnight, comb into an invert- ed pompadour effect and attach to crown of head with a comb.
 Now that you have the idea, ex- permient with other styles.

Production of cheese in the United States has been stepped up to all time record levels to meet wartime requirements of the United Nations and domestic consumers. The req sons for making cheese available for Lend-Lease snd military uses are the same as for encouraging the use of it on the home front Domestic cheddar cheese has the nutritious proteins that are in meat. If you will use more cheese as 8 meat sub- stitute, it will aid in conserving meat supplies essential for war pur- poses. Besides having complete pro. teins, this ch .ese is full of mineral and vitamin, all necessary in the daily diet.
 Too often we think of cheese as an accessory food, slivers of it served with pie or as between meal snack with crackers. Many cheese dishes, like meat, are the substantial main dish of a meal. There is the ever popular macaroni and cheese,

Meat Dressing Is a Valuable
 Extending Item

When it's inside the meat it's stuffing. Placed under, over, or around, it's dressing. But any way you serve it, it's good eating and an excellent way to extend the delicious flavor of meat.
 Sounds like a riddle, doesn't 1t? But no guessing needs to be done if the homemaker has a file of re- cipes for food combinations that go well with any roasted meat dish. Here are a few combinations sug- gested by Jessie Alice Cline, home economist, for adding flavor and food value to the meal. Each may be baked as a stuffing or a dressing. When prepared as stufiing, allow same amount of time as required for cooking the meat cut. The dressings are more delicious if they are pasted with the meat drippings. and will require 45 min utes to hour for cooking in a 300-35O degrees P. oven.

HONE FRI slST7 FORECAST - Price Ceilings Put Squeeze On Black Market For Meats
By BETTY MACDONALD NEA Stan Correspondent

Washington, April 7.-OPAs lat est gift to the American housewife Ig the price ceiling on beef and mutton designed to strike a telling blow at black markets, and also to reduce, to a certain extent, exist Ing meat prices.
 1n spite of the careful system of grading worked out by OPA, housewives should be on the lockout for a minor flaw in the rlllng. Tn grading the meat, the purple government stamp or an approved dealers stamp is mark ed on the exterior of the carcass
 Shoppers buying large cuts roasts, briskets, dumps = will see the stamps. and know that they are paying for either grade A, cuts are not marked. and the housewife must trust to the Hufchers honesty.
 He may try to pass of Grade H chops as Grade 4 material. Xhe only proof the housewife has, anI1ee government enforcement nzHnis are ak hand, is the quality of the meat itself. Home econ. 1nists suggest watching for a good color, absence Of fatty tissue, in selecting meat.

this country, even though he is hundreds of miles away in an army camp, is just plain lucky-that the war has hardly touched her. After all she gets his uncensored letters, and she can see him occasionally.
 The woman whose husband is on a fighting front thinks the woman whose husband is comparatively safe in a country like England has, n't any right to worry at all.
 And so it goes. There are dif- ferent levels in this new aristocracy depending on how much a woman has given up.

 If you don't believe this is so. 1t is because you haven't listened in on the conversation of 8 group of war wives.

 If you win the first trick with the ace of diamonds and imme- diately lead the eight of clubs (ard you know from Vests double that he must have the ace of clubs). your losing diamond is discarded on the club king.
 In regard to the bidding. Vests double told North that he had to surrender any hope of a slam. Therefore. to prevent the opponents from getting. together on what might prove a good sacrifice, he immediately jumped to four spades.
