BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH, COOKING EXPERT, STARTS SERIES OF DAILY RECIPES TODAY
Hot Weather Is Cause for Special Menu Sense of Sight Must First Have Appeal to Rouse * Appetite. By BERTHA E. SHAFLEIGH, Cooking Expert for SEA Service and Colombia University. . T THIS season, the k housekeeper has the A pleasant task of S® giving her family ■ M /jBL little surprises! The r warmer days cause a distaste for the Juki, heavier dishes of jf \ \winter, and the apYA \/ /| petite has to be / I coaxed. The first sense to Mm which an appeal iflP should be made is the sense of sight. Food must be attractive, so that the mouth is ready with its sense of taste to enjoy the food; it in turn sends a message to the stomach to lie ready for something good. June gives us many good fruits and vegetables, and in each instance the color is one which appeals; green peas, asparagus, red strawberries, radishes, and delicious onions. One day one will find strawberries in the market which are large, ripe and delicious for serving plain with cream and sugar—another day the berries may be much cheaper, but because of rain, soft and bitter, they ore better suited to be mashed and used as a sauce, or into the suggested marmalade or bar-le-duc. When possible, make curd cheese, or cottage cheese as it is called, and serve the strawberry jam over it. It can he eaten with bread or crackers, or as an accompaniment to lettuce or any plain green salad. Such a combination easily takes the place of dessert. Almost every housekeeper will have cold meat left, and after serving it sliced cold, the remainder may lie chopped and made into souffles, timbales or croquettes. Very few, however, realize that tiny slices or cubes of meat make an excellent salad, and will be enough for the main dish for luncheon or supper. Rub the inside of a bowl with a cloTe or bean of garlic, place In It the meat, add three tablespoons of oil and one of vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Cool and serve on lettuce with any cold vegetables, also dressed with oil and vinegar. A few peas and carrots will go well with lamb, and string beans and tomatoes or beets will add just the needed touch to roast beef. Never give the family any one dish, no matter how well it is liked, too many times In succession. In like manner, either dress the leftover meat differently, or skip a day, so that the family does not remember it in its original serving. Form has a great deal to do with the successful disposing of a dish. Often food served In individual forms will be much more appreciated than when served In one dish. y That is true with a shortcake. Good as an old-fashioned, rich biscuit dough is in one large pie-shaped piece, it will be enjoyed more in biscuit size split and filled. And do not forget to butter generously the biscuit while It is hot! If the children, who ought to like carrots, try chopping them after boiling; add butter, salt and pepper, and one slightly beaten egg to three cups of carrot. Pack into butter molds or cups and let stand in hot water 10 minutes. Turn cut and serve with or without a cream sauce.

Avery common question Is, ‘How can I tell a mushroom from a toad- *** / stool?” ,__J What the questioner really wants to know is how to tell what mushrooms are edible. The popular tests, such as putting a silver coin or spoon in a mess of fungi, to see If It blackens In process of cooking, all are absolutely worthless. Mushroom or toadstool poisons are of two kinds—lrritant and narcotic. The irritant affects the stomach and digestive organs soon after eating. The narcotics are much more dangerous, acting upon the nerve centers without producing symptoms for many hours. The irritant fungi often are recognized by their taste when raw; the narcotic frequently are pleasant, or at least not disagreeable, to the palate. All mushrooms should be considered dangerous which have: 1. A cup-like formation at the base of the stem. 2. A scaly or close-fitting layer at the base of the stem. 3. Loose warts on the cap. 4. A milk juice—unless this is red. 5. Great brittleness, with gills nearly all of the same length, and the flesh of the cap thin. 6. A honycombed appearance of tbe gills. If the flesh tastes biter, or the mouth of the tubes are reddish, or the flesh changes color when cut or bruised. 7. A cobwebby ring or veil when the plant Is young. • S. A slimy cap and clay-clored spores. All mushrooms that are decaying or are in the immature button stage should b eavotded. LARGER SHAPES. The summer hat has grown to be quite a large affair, but many women are clinging to the small upturned shapes.

CHAPTER VIII. Alternating Affections It was late when Dick finished retailing the conversation on which he had listened In over the wireless dictagraph. Nevertheless Garrick insisted on crossing the park and dropping in at the I'sonla. On the register, freshly blotted, he read: Miss Ruth Walden, Nonowantuc, L. I. Miss Vira Gerard, Nonowantuc, L. I. “Too late to disturb them—but you can bet It won't be late in the morning when they're disturbed.” Garrick turned into a telephone booth and rang up Nita Walden. “I’ll wager Ruth doesn’t sleep much tonight,’’ he concluded. “The thought of you and the wrecked car and the mess she is in will “THE WELDER TOP ARE, THE MORE I WANT TO HAVE YOU." j keep her awake. A few serious thoughts j in the darkness will do her a lot of good. | We’ll stop for you—early.” j It was not much after 7 wnen Garrick, j Dick and Mrs. Walden rode up In the I Usonla elevator. As the door clanged shut, Mrs. Walden motioned Garrick back with a nod. In her haste and nervousness she - nearly stumbled to the door of Ruth's j room. She put her hand on the wall to steady herself and listened. In the | room she heard voices. She rapped but did not wait for Ruth to open, for the door was not locked. 1 “Mummsy" Without a second's heal- ! tation Ruth ran to her mother. There was no reprimanding. Nlta Walden felt only a Joy to have recovered what she thought might have been : lost. Only a mother could know the j depth of that feeling. She took Ruth's pretty face lovingly In her hands and looked Intensely Into the beautiful blue depths. Mother love and trust were trying to drown suspicion. ! “Ruth —is everything all right with you?" Her hold on Ruth tightened. "How could I ever do anything • • • with a mummsy like you!” There was that in Ruth's eyes that told of Innocence in spite of her wild love of excitement. “Don't worry. Mrs. Walden,” chimed in Vira. "Her only companions last night \ were a bottle of Omlorun Oil and my 1 greasy fingers doing a massaging act.” i Ruth laughed outright but Mrs. Walden smiled a serious smile. “You girls!” was all she could find words to say. Vira answered another knock at the i door. It was Garrick and Dick. Ruth looked up surprised. How did you know I was here?” invented a wireless mind reader. Love will find a way.” Garrick nnwered with a twinkle as he looked from Ruth to Dick. Dick couldn't say anything nt first. Mrs. Walden took his hand and pressed !t gratefully, then she turned deliberately from Ruth and Dick and began talking to Garrick and Vira as she moved away. “Ruth • • • if yon only knew the relief 1 feel at seeing you again! 1 if as afraid you had been hurt or something. If you could only have seen me you’d j know what you mean to me. I felt so sorry for your mother, Ruth. I’lease be , a little careful for her sake.” | Dick had taken her hand and for- | gotten to let it go. Ruth looked at him and sway and approved of the holding. I Such a little, soft hand to do the risky i things that had been suggested by her | active mind. I “I’ll have to let go, Ruth, or • • • ! Somebody must have slipped a powder |or vial in my food or cofTee, like they | did in the old days—hang it, they don’t necl love philtres 1n these days when ; they make 'em as wonderful as you! J Confound it, the wilder you are, the more ; I want to have you to • • * Ruth, .dear, loan over, I want to whisper somei thing." Ruth loaned ov> r. “I love you"— land a light, surreptitious kiss on the ear. | “Ruth." It was Garrick, with a smile that he might have worn if he had been forty years older. He walked her over to the window aside, loaning down to talk low to hor. All that Dick caught | was a fragment, “ —and the estate—the income of ten million dollars, next month —when you are 18— "’ In a manner that , no one else could imitate, Garrick was not scolding. He was just giving a little fatherly advice. Ruth said little, almost nothing. Bat once their eyes 1 met. There seemed to be a flash of unj derstanding. “And," with his still serl- | ous smile, “be—be careful!” | Glenn called to take Vira to the coun--1 try and the four motored back to Mrs. j Walden’s apartment. i “Well, Mummsy, it's pood to get home, j I’m going to kiss you again.” , | Mrs. Walden looked at her pretty girl | and sighed.. “What a joy it is and what ■ a responsibility to raise a girl in these days of woman's freedom." ] “Nothing to what it must be to raise ;a boy!” retorted Ruth. Then a moment later, “Mother, we'll go out to the club together. I'm going to put on my swankiest gown—and get the drop on those old gossips out there—sweep ’em off their ears. Just watch me!”’ Dick and Garrick were taking leave. “Now. Ruth.” Garrick said gravely, smiling, “let me go home and sleep. Don't do anything more until I get a few hours of rest. It takes sleep to keep up with you.” As Dick was prolonging the good-by and trying to arrange when they were to seek each other again a bell-boy opened the hali door and set down a beautiful basket of roses. Ruth's face sank in the flowers. Wrinkling up hei little nose she looked tensingly at Dick. She drew a card out of the basket and threw it on the table. “Muuimsy, see what Jack Curtis sent me. Isn't he thoughtful? They are my favorite shade.” Mrs. Walden looked none ton pleased. Dick was in the depths again. He would willingly have stuck up Jack. Fifteen minutes later back in Garrick's rooms Dick was still scowling, this time at the dictagraph as he recalled what he had overhead Jack rlay ing in the lo.ve game last niaht. Garrick picked the headpiece up. “You know. I never really saw this thing work. Wj|at was the matter with it last night?”
“Someone jammed in on the same wave length. I can’t see yet how.” Garrick held lip his hand. “It’s Vira and Glenn in the Pink Room.” He listened In Intently. “Vira. I’ve been aching to have you alone. Please don’t get angry at Rae's foolishness with me. I can’t stop her without making the crowd sore. Yon know how it is. I've wanted to tell you this in some place where I could • • *” “Don’t Glenn.” There was a silence. Then muffled, “I oughtn't to tell you, but I can’t help it. They say you shouldn’t be Jealous—but if you care enough for a fellow—how can you help It?” “I'm going to tell you a secret. When you gave me that key to give to them, do you know what I did? I got the stuff out first from your house * * * to protect you. I did it on my own. And it was lucky I did. How? 1 put it In my own garage." Garrick chuckled. Here at least was one unbonded warehouse of the Velvet Gang. “You fatheads!" This was Rae's voice, interrupting. “Be careful! Don't you know that last night they overheard—” There was a muffled whisper, a man's voice, but it was lost. It was evidently a caution. “That's a partial explanation of why your dictagraph went bad last night, Dick,” commented Garrick. "Some one’s bunting now for the transmitter.” Dick looked at Garrick and Garrick at Dick. Here they were powerless to stop It. Dick grabbed one of the earpieces. There was a singing, metallic noise as if someone had wrenched out the iron grill work in front of the fireplace under the old mantel. The diaphragm reproduced a crashing crack. The distagraph receiver was smashed. Garrick thoughtfully laid down the enr- ! piece. “Well, that's that!" “I think,” suggested Dick, not a hit 1 ruffled, "if the Waldens are going back to the club we'll go out to my workshop on the harbor. If anything's going to happen, It will be out there.” "And you'll be near Ruth,” penetrated Garrick. “Well! Where Ruth Is, that's where things happen, eh?” When her mother's ear pulled up at the club that afternoon, Ituth hopped out and was up the steps with a bound. “Well, It Is good to see you. Glad!" “Shake hands, Jim. old dear. Wasn’t I lucky I didn't get killed dead?” “Hello, Bob Steering gear on the Fritz.” “What n Jolly crowd to see after being laid up gp “YOU’LL GO TO JAIL FOR THIS!” for a couple of days.” “I tell you, Vlra’s a peach of a little nurse. Never go back on that girl.” “June, you should have seen how we nearly went over! the bridge!” Her mother stood and looked at Ruth aghast. No one else had got In a word and she had had a word with every person on the porch, had made them feci that they were each her particular friend and had been let 1n on the whole secret. She hadn’t given any one a chance to ask a question and had told only just what she wanted and no more, Just as If It had been the whole story to the whole crowd. “These flappers don’t need a mother or a diplomat; they are all the wisdom of the world condensed,” soliloquized Mrs. Walden. It was perhaps a hour or two later In the afternoon when the big story had become ancient history, a mere nine min utes’ wonder, that Ruth at the Country Club began to feel lonesome. With no car. It was almost as bad as no legs. As If In answer to a prayer for new hearts to conquer. Jack swept up with a flurry In his crimson chummy car. There was nothing flustered, nothing hurried about .Tai k, although he left the motor 'running, throttled down. No one

could have been more deferential or reassuring to Mrs. Walden. She did not like the boy, but on second thought she was forced to admit to herself that she had nothing “on” him. The conversation wafted merrily to the new chummy car. “Wouldn’t you like to try the new boiler?” “Would I? Run me over to Merrlhew’s garage. I want to see that wrecked boat of my own and give some instructions what shade I want the body done over In. I feel lost without a wheel In my hands. You won’t mind, Mummsy—for a little while?” Mrs. Walden was powerless. She had wanted Ruth to stay on. Rut she had her cue from her own daughter. After all it was she who would have to sweep the older gossips “off their ears.’’ Ruth may have dressed to Impress the crowd at the dub but it all went to Jack’s head and he broke out In intense love making. ‘Mine, too * • That’s how. Ruth, dear, haven't you noticed how many things we have in common? Love of fast errs, speed, excitement —even to roses! Why I couldn’t even quarrel with you!” “Did you get my flowers, Ruth?" “They were beautiful. How did you know my favorites?” He edged over under the wheel nearer ; her. Ruth smiled at him. Suddenly he I leaned over to steal a kiss. It went | wrong and fell on her ear. Some how Ruth was glad It wasn’t the one Dick had kissed. But the next moment she had taken Jacks hand and given it a | little squeeze in return. They were just about leaving Merrihews, when the faithful McKay, who j had been watching the departure i vigilantly from the parking space at the ! club, tapped lightly on the door of Dick’s boathouse workshop. It needed only to have McKay spill the news about the automobile ride with * Curtis to set Dick frantic over Ruth. A few minutes later Dick and Garrick were on the club porch. Professor Carlo! was there with Mrs. Walden, very thoughtful and sympathetic. In fact, he was so attentive that Garrick found himself wondering where lay his interest—in mother or daughter? • “it beats the devil,” Guy found himself wondering, “how these doddering scientists can be so clever and deep their own fields —and such children when It comes to affairs of life and the heart." Dick saw nothing. His vision was eclipsed by one thought. Ruth was somewhere with Jack. Nor was it long before he blurted it out in so me thinly disguised form. “I wouldn’t worry much over Ruth and Jack," put in the professor. ‘Those youngsters seem to me to be quite capable of taking care of themselves—at least Ruth does.” ll© paused a moment. “I think I know enough of their habits from watching them around hero at the club to guess where they might go. I’ve got to go over to the old Seaville Station this afternoon. I'll take a look at some of the places on the way where they might stop—the garage, for instance." Privately and aside Garrick tried to calm Dick down. "You may be a great Inventor and all that," he remarked following out the thought that had beet? running through his mind, “but • • • well, tackle the wireless reading of a woman's heart, then" * "What do you mean?” snapped Dick, contcntlously. “Nothing Just nothing," was Garrick's sententious answer . In the late afternoon Curtis drew np at the Binnacle, a queer old pla's* furnished Lke the cabin of an old clipper ship. There was n wireless at the Binnacle and broadcasted music. “Tea!" ordered Jack, turning from Ruth toward ’he waiter. "Two? Yes, sir." The waiter winked. Jack leaned over. "Going to see what that wink meant," lie whispered to Ruth as he followed the waiter out. A moment anil he returned. “Name's Herman, lie's nil right." he explained. A few minutes later Herman appeared with cocktails in tea cups. “Here's look at — " Ruth and Curtis had tho cups balanced, ready to taste. “Don't!" Ruth looked at. him surprised. “Why?” “It's a drug—ether-something—" He turned quickly toward the waiter, rose, seized him by the shoal dor, swung him around. Then he reached Into the waiter's waistcoat pocket and drew out a little vial. “You'll go to Jail for this, Herman!” “Planted on me!” “That's what they nil say!” (Continued lu Our Next Issue.)

The ADVENTURES of & Raggedy Raggedy Ann and Andy ,4l§| By JOHNNY GRUBLLE
The great big large policeman carried Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy and Missus Wltcliie back to where Missus Witchie had changed him from a man into a policeman. Os course they stopped at different places as they walked along, for you know how hard It would be if you were walking along and should come to a great field in which lovely cookies grew upon short stems just like mushrooms. And especially if all the cookies were covered with frosting just like mother puts on her cakes. Some flavored with vanilla; some flavored with chocolate; some flavored with strawberry and lemon and raspberry and every kind of flavored Icing made. You know how hard It would be for any one to walk through a magical cookie field such as this one and not stop and nibble first one cookie, then another. And so the big large policeman put Raggedy Ann, Missus Witchie and Raggedy Andy down when he came to the cookie field and they all ate so many cookies it made them thirsty. So when they lets the magical cookie field and came to the lee cream soda water tree, of course they had to stop there, too, and drink a lot of iee cream suda3. But finally they came to the place where they had all been when Missus Witchie had changed the man into a policeman. "Here we are,” said the policeman as be put Raggedy Ann, Missus Witchie and Raggedy Andy down upon the ground, “but I do not see my old clothes around anywhere hanging 'upon a bush.” “That is not strange," laughed Raggedy Ann, “for there isn't a bush here for them to be hanging on.” “Or a tree either,” said Missus Witchie, “I guess they disappeared entirely and we will never find them.” “I’ll bet I know where the Policeman's old clothes with the suspender buttons on them are," said Raggedy Andy. “Where?” asked Raggedy Ann, Missus Witchie and the Pbliceman. "Why,” exclaimed Raggedy Andy, "They must be just where the Policeman's new clothes came from.” “Whee,” Raggedy Ann cried as she clapped her rag hands together In pleasure, "Now we can find them easily. We will look for the Policeman’s old clothes
at the place where his new ones came from.” “Then I speet we’ll never find them," said Missus Witchie as she wiped her eye with her apron. “Oh dear," said the Policeman, “Why i won't we find them Missus Witchie, If we look for them right where the new ones came from?” “Cause, I’ll tell you why,” Missus Witchie cried. "When I wished for your ' new Policeman clothes, I just shut my eyes and rubbed my magic buttons and | said ‘Hokusy Pokusy,' and the new t clothes appeared ami the old clothes disappeared. And there you are. I don't know where the new ones cams from nor where the old ones went to. They just disappeared." “Here's where we were sitting when you changed the Policeman,’’ said Rag--1 gedy Andy.” See the grass is mashed down where we were sitting. “Sure enough,” said Missus Witchie, ! “Let’s feel around upon the ground. Maybe we will be able to feel them even If we can not see the policeman's old clothes.” But after feeling around upon the ground for ten minutes they had to give it up. “I am afraid we shall never find them,” said Missus Witchie. Raggedy Ana was not very easily discouraged, she walked away from her friends a few feet and with her rag hands, she pulled her forehead into a lot of wrinkles. Raggedy Ann could think a great deal better when she did this, so she sat and thought and thought. Finally she Jumped ! to her feet and with a glad, raggedy cry, I she ran to Missus Witchie. “I know ; what to do. Missus Witchie. “You must i got out your magic buttons and wish the | policeman to be changed back into the ! man he used to be before you changed him into a policeman.” Missus Witchie was so glad Raggedy Ann had thought of this, she not only kissed Raggedy Ann, but she kissed the policeman and Raggedy Andy ns well. Then Missus Wltcrie took out her magic buttons and placed them upon the ground in a circle and said, “Hokusy Pokusy,” and the policeman’s police clothes disappeared and his old clothes came In their place. "Whee," cried Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. “Now for the buttons," and they ran toward the big large man with whiskers Upon his face who used to lie the policeman, and started to pull off his suspender buttons. “Hero, you stop that,” the man cried angrily.” “What are you trying to do,” and with one sweep of his arm, he sent Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy flying over and
Our First Year CHAPTER LXXIII. How Empty Life Would Bes or Me Mithout Jack! BY A BRIDE.
I new nothing was left for me in any life apart from Jack. That was the chief penalty for getting married. Had I never lived with Jack I’d have had a thousand Interests in life, all humanity for my friends, all the world to wander in. But Just by having been married less than a year I had limited my happiness in some ancient elemental way to whatever made Jack happy, and my home to the place where he found his rest. 1 couldn’t grasp the meaning of this change. After I had so narrowed my horizon it was cruel that fate should make me choose between my own will and my husband's. I counted the troubles he and I had, normal first year moods and silences. How petty I had been in each case! Never again would I be petty, if our homo survived our present quarrel. Jack and I were beautifully polite and considerate of each other over Sunday.
