^*******+«*+***<-****4>**+* * I ❖ Tickets to the + J Big Game + ♦ 1 * By LAURA MONTGOMERY X + + I^X3, by McClure -Newspaper Syndicate.) Dorothy had been out of college two years, and when Dick, who had been graduated at the same time, wrote telling her that he had succeeded in getting tickets for the big game and inviting her to run up to Chicago to attend, she was in a rosy heaven of delight. “Think, Alice,” she cried, cheeks rose-red with excitement, “of going into Stagg field again. The rows and rows of seats rising against the crisp blue of the sky and the maroon pennants waving wildly while the mega-phone-fiends shriek—oh, I can’t believe I’m really going.” Alice, her maternal eyes fastened upon her small son, was mildly amazed at the outburst: “If you’ve wanted to see football why haven't you gone before?” Dorothy’s blue eyes studied the listless face. “You don’t understand, dear,” she murmured at last, distinct pity in her soft voice; “college is wonderful, but unless the right man invites one—” she broke off hastily, sorry that a bit of cherished secret had so heedlessly tripped off her pink tongue. “I mean it wouldn’t be fun to write a check and send for tickets.” “Is this Dick Fredericks a rich man?” Money was the only subject that really aroused the interest of Dorothy’s older sister. Dorothy was rich because an aunt had left her fortune to her, overlooking the older and less agreeable of the sisters. “No; he’s a mechanical engineer and has nothing but his salary. But” — again the soft tones paused as the young girl pondered—Dick had been more than attentive to her at college until a girl had made a caustic allusion to the escorts wealthy girls drew’ to themselves. She could recall now the very expression of his face. “Are you so rich. Dorothy? Your clothes are so simple that I fancied you—” He had broken off there, surveying with puzzled eyes the artful simplicity of her tailored garments. “Yes, he lost Interest in me because of that hateful money,” decided Dorothy. “What’s that? Don’t mumble so, Dorothy. Look at Bob. He’s .in my cold cream jar again. He won’t mind anyone but you.” finished Alice fretfully, trailing negligently from the room, leaving her son to be cared for by her sister. Dorothy selected her plainest suit for her short trip to Chicago and looked dubiously at her fur coat. She would, naturally, need It uu the stone seats of the wind-swept grandstand, but Dick could not help but notice the costliness of the rich squirrel coat that suited her blonde beauty so perfectly. Regretfully, she decided to risk a cold and put it aside. Her gold mesh bag, with the emeralds she also rejected, taking a smart little blue morocco purse to match her suit. A fuzzy hat and scarf of brushed wool had just been donned when Alice rushed into the room carrying Bob. who squirmed frantically. “I’ve found three spots of rash on him. Dorothy. It’s probably scarlet fever, and I can never manage him alone. You'll have to stay home and help me—” Dorothy did not hear the rest of the sentence. Paling, she leaned over the chubby boy, who stopped yelling at sight of her. “Why, he looks all right, Alice. I—” “You'd never be so selfish as to go to a silly game when Bob needs you,” wailed Alice, “and with a poor man. too?” Dorothy, not quite oblivious to the methods of her sister, stared back. “What has his lack of money to do with Bob?” “Nothing, dear, but if you don't go he won’t have to pay for your ticket, and —’’ “You evidently don’t know the difficulty of getting those tickets. A week ago some of them sold for fabulous prices. If I don’t go, Dick can probably dispose of them for three times what he has paid, but he won’t forgive me for ditching him at the last moment. “Why,” she glanced down at her tiny watch, “I’ve not time now to wire him. He will meet —” “Oh,” the older woman cut in eagerly, "you could phone him and tell him how Bob needs you.” Bob held out his arms to her. His cheeks were much flushed and his eyes too bright. Something was certainly wrong with him, and Alice was worse than useless in illness. She invariably argued and nagged at the patient. A few’ moments later Dorothy finIshed her long-distance call. “I’m terribly sorry, Dick, but of course Bob has the first claim on me. Get someone else to go and don’t waste those precious tickets.” Quite unintentionally she had shown

CALLED THE “ST. PAUL’S PENNY”

— Highly Prized Coin Preserved in Underground Chamber on Banks of the Thames at London. — An underground chamber supposed to have once been a chapel, on the banks of the Thames In London, is said to contain nothing but an old silver coin. The coin is Roman, and is said to bear a representation of the head of St. Paul. The coin is called "St. Paul’s Penny.” By a historical incident it was at one time almost counted among the crown Jewels, or at least i the crown relics. "St. Paul’s Penny” was supposed to commemorate the visit of St. Paul to Britain, and was probably preserved in ’ the chapel until the Eighth century. In the Ninth century It Is supposed to • have been carried away by the barbarians, and it reappeared, after the i conversion of the Northern Goths, In possession of the roval family of Gothland. Ills royal highness, the duke of Gothland, retained it always in his own private custody until he decided to ex-

her deep disappointment In her voice, and the man at the other end stood in puzzled silence as her Instrument clicked into place. A moment later he called her, but the line was being used to call the physician and the long-distance operator did not cut in. “He never even said good-by,” reflected Dorothy, rocking the boy. “He’ll never write me again.” The doctor came and made a thorough examination: “Just a little feverish cold,” he said. “Thought you w’ere going in for the big game, Miss Dorothy.” “I couldn’t spare her.” Bob’s black head nestled against his aunt's plainest blouse. “You see, I love her best.” The girl tried to still her heartache as the hot little fingers curled lovingly about her own, but Dick’s strong, dark face seemed to float before her eyes. Dick, who had not said "good-by.” “Someone in the living room, Miss Dorothy,” whispered the maid; “he didn’t give me his card, but he’s a i splendid looking man.” Wearily Dorothy disengaged herself from Bob and, without a glance at her tumbled hair, went down. Her mind was on Stagg field. The game would be over by now and the long lines of motorcars would be snalling down Fifty-seventh street filled with cheering men and red-cheeked girls. The winners would be trotting off to be feted and photographed and Dick —he would be bending down over some curly headed junior—a girl fresher and ‘ prettier than—- " Dick!” So real had been her picture of his absorbed face that she was scarcely surprised to see him. The expression was just as admiring as she had fancied, but the curly headed junior was absent. “Dorothy, I couldn’t get you again on the wire. I—” He tried to keep ■ his keen anxiety out of his voice, but completely failed. “Who is Bob? I kept hanging back on account of your wretched money, but when you said he had the first claim on you I knew nothing else mattered except our love. Tell me, sweetheart, am I too late?” A few moments later the tumbled head in its mist of gold curls was raised from its place on his shoulder. “Dick, how funny that you should have been jealous of a baby. “But (the vivid blue eyes searched his face adoringly) I’m glad of It. It brought you to me. Did you give the tickets to-—” He fished them out. “Forget them. Guess those will be the only tickets to the big game that are not used.” he grinned. “I’d like to see Bob. He did me a big service.” Speech of Ravens. The raver: has one note which announces the discovery of a dead lamb. He has quite another which foretells the oncoming of a great storm, and yet a. third which welcomes a period of | | tine, calm weather, observes a writer in | the London Mail. The grouse call one another from | hilltop to hilltop, and the blackcock’s piercing note summons all his compan- ’ ions around him. If a falcon should hover above tire farm yard the mother hen with a single loud note of alarm sends all tier chickens scurrying to cover. When the brood retires to rest under her wings she quells their restless squabbles for place with one long, soothing “cur-r-r". , Instant quietude follows, save that I now and then an Infant voice repents in baby treble the mother s hushing note. Often, with squeaking, noisy chickens in an incubator, I have copied the maternal “cur-r-r” and immediately silence has invariably followed. The Lonely Mission. Some idea of the heroism of the pioneer missionary in foreign lands may be gleaned from Kipling's description of a mission outpost. “Do you know ! what life at a mission outpost means? [ Try to imagine a loneliness exceeding that of the smallest station to which government has ever sent you—isola- [ tion that weighs upon the waking eye- , lids and drives you by force headlong I into the labors of the day. There is no j post, there is no one of your own color I to speak to, there are no roads; there 1 is, indeed, food to keep you alive, but it is not pleasant to eat; and w hatever I of good or beauty, or interest there is ; in your life, must come from yourself, and the grace that may be planted in you.” Simple Food Made Fighters. Researches made by various scholars indicate that the heroes of Homer prepared their food with their own hands. In the happy simplicity of the Homeric ages the great heroes who dealt such terrible blows, leaving death and desolation behind them when they reposed after their exploits, partook of a blameless dish of beans or a plate of homely lentils. It may be difficult to Imagine Diomedes in the act of peeling onions or Achilles washing cabbage. But al- , I though the wise Ulysses roasted, with his own hands, a sirloin of beef, vege- > tables occupied the most conspicuous j places at all the great banquets of i ancient Greece. —New York Herald.

The KITCHEN CABINET Copyright, 1923, Western Newspaper Union. The spirit of adventure, so nearly universal in youth, commonly is thwarted at every turn. Yet this is one of its finest gifts; when it has gone, life’s greatest promise is past.—Arthur F. Morgan. FRUIT WAYS In the selection of fruit do not let appearance weigh against weight and fla-

vor. An apple of attractive skin may be flat and tasteless. In Judging oranges and g r a p e f r ult, the weight, if heavy, will denote a fruit full of juice.

Thick-skinned, pulpy fruit will be light when tested in the hand. A pineapple should be heavy and its center leaves easily removed, to prove its ripeness. Bananas may be purchased and ripened at home by keeping them in a paper bag. Bananas are not good food when firm and crisp. The skin may be black, but if the fruit is still mellow, not soft or mushy, they are in fine condition for eating. Fruit kept in the i home will keep much better if separated ; it is the fact of contact and often the weight pressing into the fruit w hich cause decay. Wash all fruit that has been handled, such as apples, oranges or grapefruit, as well as the smaller fruits. Bananas are protected by their covering. Grapes should be dipped, a bunch at a time, in- : to a large dish of cold water. An abundance of fruits In season will be found to be a good Investment, for the family who serves it plentifully will be less liable to disease. An attractive way of serving bananas is to peej them at the end and, । using a jsitato cutter, cut the fruit into I balls; drop into a dish with a little lemon Juice and mix well, but lightly, then sprinkle with sugar; add a little । pineapple Juice or a few cubes of pineapple, some maraschino cordial ami a cherry or two to garnish the top of the sherbet cup after arranging the banana ' balls. Ore thing Important to remember is to remove the fibers or strings from the sides of the bananas when peeling them; this substance ' astringent and causes trouble In some stomachs. Baked Apples.—Wash and core goodflavored apples; core carefully, not to go through the apple. Fill the cavity with raisins, butter nnd a little brown sugar. Bake in a baking dish with a tittle water, basting occasionally. Serve ' with cream ami sugar. Fruit Salad. —Idee three or four apples. squeeze over them a little lemon juice; add one cupful of quartered marshmallows, one diced banana nnd two slices of pineapple, cut Into dice To a cupful of thick cream, whipped, add two tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing.

GOOD THINGS FOR OCCASIONS A very attractive salad which is neither expensive nor difficult to pre-

pare Is: Cheese Salad.— Take two tablespoonfuls of gelatin, cover with one tablespoonful of cold water, let stand to soften, then add a table-

spoonful of boiling water. When cool i fold the gelatin into one cupful of cream, whipped, add four tablespoon ' fuls of good American cheese, grated. Pour into molds and allow to stand , until firm. Serve on lettuce with t mayonnaise dressing. Caramel Nut Sauce.—Take two cupJ fuls of dark brown sugar, one table- ; spoonful of blitter and two tablespoonj fuls of flour. Cook until smooth, add ! one-half teaspoonful of vanilla and j any kind of chopped nuts. Serve over I ice cream. Nut Salad. —Chop equal parts of al- ' monds, walnuts and pecans. .Moisten ; with salad dressing and arrange on I rounds of pineapple in a nest of lettuce. Serve with wafers. Kentucky Salad. —Take one-half of j a can of pineapple, cut into large j pieces, dissolve one package of lemon I gelatin in one cupful of hot water, add one cupful of pineapple juice, the pineapple, blanched whole almonds, three small sweet pickles cut into very thin slices. Mold and serve with mayonnaise and whipped cream on crisp lettuce leaves. Banana Croquettes. —Peel the fruit, scraping the banana to remove all fibers, cut off each end and dip the fruit into lemon juice, then into egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Serve as a garnish to the roast, surrounding it on the platter. Molded Fish. —Butter an oval mold or a fish mold, lay in it a strip of boned fish, then a layer of buttered bread crumbs, season with melted butter, onion juice, pepper, salt and curry; add more fish until the mold is full. Moisten with half a cupful of fish stock or milk, an egg to bind the mixture. Bake one-half hour, unmold and serve with a hot tomato sauce. Profitless Occupation.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1923. Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JUNE 3 JEREMIAH, THE PROPHET OF COURAGE LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 35:1-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. —1 Corinthians 16:13. REFERENCE MATERlAL—Jeremiah 9:1-9; 13:1 9; 16:1-4; Matthew 2:17, 18. PRIMARY TOPIC—Sons Who Honor Their Father. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Story of the Rechabites, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jeremiah, the Courageous Prophet. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Jeremiah’s Service to His Nation. Jeremiah was one of the last prophets of Judah. He saw the nation go into the Babylonian Captivity and Jerusalem destroyed, after which he went into Egypt. He was a lonely, misunderstood and unpopular prophet. He was most bitterly hated and persecuted. His own countrymen turned against him. He was placed in stocks and then thrown Into a horrible dungeon from which he narrowly escaped with his life. The teacher should give a little sketch of his life. The following Is suggested: 1. His Call (1:2-10). 2. His Commission (1:11-10). 3. His Sympathetic Heart (4:19). 4. His Great Sorrows (10:15-21). 5. The Divine Power Which Urged Him Forward and Sustained Him (10:7-9). Because tie was called upon to prophesy against his own nation and at the command of God urged them to surrender to the Babylonians, he was regarded as a traitor guilty of treason against his own nation. The lesson today is really an episode In the history of Jeremiah. It centers In the history of a certain family of Jews who were loyal to the traditions of their fathers, turning away from the luxury ami degeneracy of Judah and maintaining their simple life. This the prophet shows as an object lesson : I. The Rechabites’ Test (vv. 1-5). In the days of Jehoiakim, the Lord charged Jeremiah to bring the Rechabites into the house of the I.ord and test them regarding the drinking of wine. This be did In a place where the people might behold them, the aim being to teach Judah by example. The father of the Rechabites had given command that they should not drink wme. Their filial obedience put to shame the children of Judah for their Jack of obedience. Jonadab, the father of the Rechabites. was only a man but the one whose commands Judah disregarded was the Almighty G<>d. their Creator and Savior. It Is God’s plan that every man be tested. Being a free agent, he can have character only through testing. 11. The Filial Loyalty of the Rechabites (vv. 6-11). Though they were out of their own country in the midst of a foreign people they refused to drink wine, de- : daring that they had been true to the instructions of Jonadab all their lives. It is a fine thing when children reniember their fathers and render obedience to their commands. 111. The Loyalty of the Rechabites in Contrast With the Disloyalty of Judah (vv. 12-16). 1. The Appeal (vv. 13. 14). He made the appeal on the basis of the filial Jovalty of the Rechabites. He also reminded them that he had spoken to them In person, rising up early to do so. 2. The Ministry of the Prophets (vv. 15. 16). When the people failed to render obedience to God. he sent to them the prophets, who pleaded with them to amend their ways by turning away from their Idols. Matthew Henry indicates the points of contrast somewhat as follows: (1) The Rechabites were obedient to one who was but a man; the Jews disobeyed the infinite and eternal God. (2) Jonadab was dead and could not know of their disloyalty or correct them for it. God is all-knowing and lives forever and will punish for disobedience. (3) The Rechabites were never reminded of their obligations, , but God sent His prophets to speak to IBs people. (4) Jonadab left the charge but no estate to support the charge, but God gav? the people a goodly land and prospered them in it. (5) God never assigned His people a task as hard as .Tonadab’s, but God's people disobeyed Him while the Rechabites obeyed their father. IV. Judgment Upon the Jews for Disobedience (v. 17). God declared that He would bring judgment upon them according to what He had said. Judgment is laid upon those who disobey and rebel against God. V. Reward of the Rechabites for Their Loyalty (w. 18, 19/. Because they had been true to the commands of Jonadab. they should always have a representative before God. God has such a regard for filial obedience that He lets no act go unrewarded. Ever Leading. G<«l was ever with Isreal, speaking through His holy prophets, admonishing, correcting, encouraging, and pitying. He was ever leading him on, and bringing him nearer and nearer to the day when life’s surgings might break against the rock of divine purpose, and then gradually fall back Into the awful calm of God's Life and Love.— Henry Lowndes Drew. Good Companions. T.et honesty and imlustry be thy constant companions, and spend one penny less than thy d?ar gains; then shall thv pocket begin to thrive; creditors will not insult, nor want oppress, nor hunger bite, nor nakedness freeze thee. —Franklin.
