"Fill me one, too, dear." he .said quietly. "Mrs. raham and I will 'touch glasses' to your health." She looked up at him with blanched far e, but stood her ground.

f-he had put anything in the fruit punch which would harm me, although her husband's faco and action betrayed panic. The next inMant. however, Milly sjtokbridge surprised me Indeed. As if the crah of her cherished punch bowl had brought her to her ner.sy. her f a e. first gray with fear and horror, broke up into frightened mtion. ,s'he swayed toward her husband with arms outstretched as a terrified child might have done, and the n xt moment she was sobbing against his should', r. crying out desperately; "Oh, Ken. I didn't mean to. truly, I didn't! I5ut she made rne so mad. I'm so glad you stopped nie, but I didn't mean to. Say you forgive me. Ken. say i', you kr.ow it's because I love you so say it. Ken, say it!" Madge Iiplalns. "Hush!" His voice was hoarse. "Ut there was a tenderness in it that the man must have been almost superhuman to have achieved. "People are coming; they will hear you. You know I forgive you and love. you. Now pull yourself tog ther. I.et people think you're upset because your punch bowl is broken. Everybody knows how you cherished it." His eyes met mine above her boulder, tortured eyes with a note f pleading in them. I knew what he wished, and spoke not to him, but to th woman whose face was hidden against his shoulder. "I will explain things to anybody who inquires. Mrs. Stockbirdge, sc that you needn't be disturbed." "Thank you." I could har Ilv

hear the words. Indeed. I hadn't:

waited for them, but went steadily forward to meet the two or three inquisitive souls who had heard the crash and promptly decided to investigate matters. The others, more composed or more well bred, were gathered around Dicky. Luckily, even with Milly Stockbridge's reputation, the shattered punch bowl spelled reason enough to her friends for her agitation. Her husband was hading her toward the kitchen as the vanguard of inquirers met me. Mrs. SKrf'khritlge "Reappears. "Oh. oh. that beautiful punch howl!" the foremost woman exclaimed with a ghoulish look at the jemains of the howl and the v. , t tloor. "And her floor will V ruined, too; Milly is so particular about her floors. Something ought

to I f done about it rieht awav. 1 think I'll " I stopped her with a little autnoritatle gesture. "The maid is coming in directly," I said. "And Mr. Stockbridge particularly requested that no one disturb Mrs. Stockbridge for a few moments. You know sne is very nervous anyway, and the breaking of the bowl has. completely upst her." "I should think it would." observed another woman, the hrst speaker being occupied with glaring at me resentfully. "That bowl and the cups were the treasons of Milly's heart. They were wedding presents, you know, and the handFomet things in town." "How did you say it happened?" The first woman eyed me with a glance that dared me to tell my story twice the same way. "Why! Mr. Stoekbridge offered to help her ladle out the punch, and as he did mo stumble, l against the table, upsetting the punch bowl." "Ah. yes!" She nooded her in ad sagely. "Poor thing', he's so awkward in his Jameness. he must be a great trial to Milly." "Humph!" snorted the second woman. "Shoe's on the other foot, I should say. There's Christine now. How's Mrs. Stockbridgo feeling. Christine?" "She ban all right pretty soon." replied Christine stolidly. "Meestcr Stoekbridge, he make her lie down. She get up pretty quick." "Well! I suppose we might as well go back." the first woman said reluctantly, and with a sense of relief that poor Milly Stockbridge's secret was safe for the minute. J followed their retreating backs into the living room. So assiduously did they spread the news of the broken punch bowl that by the time Mr. and Mrs. Stockbridge rejoined their guests she this time with distinct traces of tears upon her face every woman in he room was ready with emotion,".! condolences over h(r loss. Imt Kenneth Stoekbridge didn't leave his wife's side again. And when the evening guests had left and she started to accompany Miss Holcombe and me to the upper chamber where our wraps were he put a restrainirie; hand upon her arm. "Alice can do the honors, dear," he said tenderly. "You are tired out, and I am sure Mrs. Graham will excuse you."

The First of a Series of Talks on the Question of Quality Bread Making

I WONDER how many of you housewives of South Bend have ever stopped to think of the quality of ingredients that go into bread? Do you ever think of the cost of those ingredients? Frankly, it's the difference in the cost of ingredients that makes the difference in quality and taste of bread. You can't expect to buy a quality loaf of bread unless the ingredients used are quality ingredient?. Flour alone has jumped $3 and $4 a barrel. And that's only one item. Every other baking ingredient has gone sky-high in price. If you want quality bread a loaf that contains pure ingredients that contains the most nourishing, wholesome and appetizing food values you can get that quality home-made loaf in a Federal Bakery. There are so many things I want to say in connection with quality bread and scientific baking, that it would take a whole page to tell the story. For this reason, I want you to drop into our bakery the next time you are down this way and I'll tell you all about Federal Home-Made Bread. Come in any time.
