The bread absorbs all the bitter juices and makes the vegetable more digestible. Flavoring Gravy Half milk and half water makes the best colored and best flavored gravy. Cooking Vegetables A small plec of butter added to the water in which vegetables are to be cooked will prevent them from boiling over. Baking Potatoes Before put-ting potatoes in the baking-ti- n, stand them In boiling water for few minutes, theji drain on a clean cloth. They will cook more quickly and taste better. Worn Socks Children very of-ten get enormous holes in the heels of their socks. This is often due to the lining of the shoe which has worn rough. If the ragged bits are cut off and the inside of the shoe covered with adhesive tape, many a large "hole" will be pre-vented. Cocoa Egg Cake Filling White of one egg; one cup Icing sugar; two teaspoons cold water; four tablespoons cocoa; half teaspoon vanilla. Beat white of egg until stiff and dry. Mix cocoa and sugar, add cold water. Add gradually to egg white until thick enough to spread. Making a Footstool Do you know that you can make unique footstools out of the single spring seats of an old automobile? Cover the old seat with upholstery and attach castors at the four corners. -- This will give you a comfortable seat or footstool for your summer cottage. Washing Embroidery Do not wring embroidery after washing. Press out as much moisture as possible between the folds of a towel, then spread on a towel or blotter to dry, face up. Suede Shoes Rain spots can be removed from suede shoes by rubbing with fine emery board. Ironing Shirts Soft collars at-tached to shirts should be ironed on the right side first, then on the wrong side. This prevents wrinkling the collar. WNU Service (hnhAYNE5 ! RWI M W.N.U. SERVICE changed again. Worries! And all major worries! Walter and Molly! Margaret Fairweather! And-- my thoughts always broke here and melted into a kind of dim. troubled confusion. However, I was up and as dressed soon as I had finished my break-las- t When I came downstairs, I round Sylvia occupying herself with Donnda Belle on the piazza. "How does it happen that you're not down at the Merry Mere?" I demanded. "Nancy isn't coming over to-day," Sylvia informed me. "And I thought I'd stay up here. I think I 11 make a new dress for Dorinda Belle." She was sitting on a little foot-stool beside one of the Gloucester hammocks. Beside her was her little work-bask- Over the cushions lay bits of dress material which I had given her from time to time; patches of silk and chiffon; snippets of ribbon; tags of lace. She was threading an enormous darning-needle- . I took it that Dorinda Belle's sorry war-drobemuch the worse for play near the water was about to be replen-ished. "This child hasn't a thing to wearl" Sylvia announced in the ac-cents, faintly disgusted, faintly which I had heard so many times from her mother's mouth. "She is a perfick disgrace. I'm ashamed of her. She's got to have a whole new wardrobe. She doesn't take care of her clothes at all. She gets them dirty. She spills her oatmeal all down the front. She catches her clothes in the blackberry vines. She's a per-fick- ly terrible, terrible child some-times." Energetic nodding and vehement emphasis accompanied this dia-tribe. Of course, like all mothers, en you for granted, that you were within hand's reach so to speak. He felt that he could close his fist on you at any time. But when Mark began to specialize on you he didn't like it." "Ace and Mark and I were al-ways good friends," I commented. "That's right! And Ace and I were great friends. Damn it all I loved Ace. I love him still. That story Walter told me yesterday rocked me more than anything that's happened in a long time. But there was something about Ace" "I suppose he had more natural charm than any human being I have ever known." "It was that charm that ruined him," Patrick carried my thought on. "It brought him so many things when he was young that he thought he could keep it up for-ever. Yet, by God, I shall always feel about Ace " "It's one of the puzzles of life." I said. "Once or twice in a life-time, this happens to everyone. Charm is as strong as the force of gravity. People who have it sweep our hearts along in the very face of disapproving Judgment That was Ace." I think I raised my voice a lit-tle; for Sylvia, suddenly abandon-ing her dress-makin- seized a freshly dressed Dorinda Belle and came pattering into the living-roo- She seated herself on a cricket beside the low table on which stood a telephone extension. "Patrick," she said, "did you know that Doctor Ace had gone to Heav-en?" Before Patrick could answer the question, her eyes, wandering over the surface of. the table, fell on a little Dresden box there. Now Syl--! via has been brought up not to touch bric-a-bra- c or books without permission. She is an extremely docile child and I cannot recall that she has ever broken anything in my hou?e. Now her eyes fixed themselves hard on that Dresden box. Her fixed gaze recalled no association to me, but apparently it suggested vaguely something to her. Suddenly she jumped up from her cricket and lifted the cover. "Oh there it is!" she exclaimed. "There's the beautiful buckle I found. I forgetted all about it. I found it--I found it " Her eyes seemed to look inward in the effort of her concentration. "I found it the day after the party." A silence as bleak and cold as ice seemed to fall on my piazza. For when Sylvia's tiny fingers lifted the brilliant buckle old paste and old silver from the box, a series of mental cataclysms shook me. They came as fast as successive shots from a revolver. Instantly I recalled Sylvia's entrance to the pi-azza early Saturday afternoon, car-rying a Dorinda Belle who glittered with a magnificent an alien splendor. I remembered taking the buckle from her and, as the telephone rang, slipping it into the Dresden box. Suddenly too now, I recalled, though I had not re-called it then, that that buckle was one of a pair which ornamented the slipper which Myron Marden wore at the masquerade. Instantly too, I recalled another thing that I would have said must have depart-ed completely from my memory-depar- ted, leaving no trace behind. And that was an event of Sunday morning waking and going to the bathroom for a drink of water, re-turning and for an instant gazing out my window onto the fog-lade- n scene. What I saw in that instant merged completely from my mind in the oblivious weariness with which I again sank back into sleep. Yet now, I saw the picture perfec-tlyMyron Marden coming out of my Spinny and up over my lawn in the direction of the park and of his own home. Patrick's eyes had narrowed. Never had I heard silkier accents than those which emerged at that moment from his throat "Come over here, Sylvia," he wheedled. "I want to talk with you. Bring the buckle with you." Sylvia pattered over to him and he lifted her onto his lap. She opened her little fist and they sur-veyed the paste together. "How it sparkles!" Patrick com-mented.

"I have to admit to you that that that" Walter choked back the epithet and began again. "I have to admit to you that Ace Blaikie put it over on me. I was fright-ened, not on my own account but for my father and mother, I did not know what to do." "Did you tell Molly?" "At once. She didn't know what to do. We were like the babes in the wood. We clung to each other, but we did not know what to do; and because we were so inexperi-enced, we lay down to the situa-tion. Molly and I pretended to break our. engagement In reality it was never broken. I left Satuit and went to New York where I got a Job, and a good one. I've given that up. I can always get a Job. In the meantime, Ace was devilling Molly. I did not know how much, of course. After a while she realized that in order to pro-tect me, she must get engaged to Ace. She wrote me that. But she said, TU die before I marry him.' " "Have you those letters?" "AH of them. Then one day, I waked up with the realization that in spite of my feeling for my moth-er and father I would rather go to prison and work out my sen-tence than submit to what I was submitting to. I wrote that to Mol-- ly and she wrote back that she agreed with me absolutely. She said in effect "Let's get married. If Ace Blaikie chooses to act in this horrible way, let him do it If you are arrested and tried and sen-tenced, I'll stand by. And when you come out of Jail, we'll take up our life just where we left it and go all the way together.' So I made up my mind to that First of all, I came back in May to have an-other fight with Ace." "Do you remember what you said to him when you met him in Locust Lane?" "Not all of course. Nobody ever remembers the whole ' of a long conversation, but I remember tell-ing him that I'd kill him before I'd let Molly marry him." I drew a long hissing breath of warning. AH three looked into my direction and smiled, Patrick in a grim amusement Walter with a detached humor, Molly in a sooth-ing tenderness. "I returned to New York. How-ever, Molly and I made our plans. We agreed that just as soon as I could wind up my job, I'd slip back. Then we'd walk off and get married." "How did you happen to choose the time of the Stow party?" "Just because it came at the right time. I had the money I needed. Then I knew everybody in Satuit would be thinking of the masquerade. Besides Molly and I had had so many swell times at the Stow masquerades, that we wanted to go. So, as I told you the other day, I came on secretly and stayed in Aunt Mary's Little House." "And you had no contact with Ace at all?" Patrick inquired. "None." "You did not see him all day Fri-day?" , "Not until the masquerade." "And did you speak to him at the masquerade?" For the first time there was a lit-tle asperity in Walter's tone. "I think I told you before that I did not" "Then I am to understand," Pat-rick summed it up, "both from you and Molly that you saw Ace Blaikie only once between the time you left Satuit and the night of the masquerades and that one time was in Locust Lane on Decoration day?" "That's correct" Walter said. Patrick looked inquiringly at Mol-- "That is correct" Molly said. Patrick bent forward until his el-bows rested on his knees. He con-templated with a steady, down-sho- t gaze his neat and well-polishe- d shoes. "Well," he said after a while, "go home, children! But I'll have to repeat Walter, stick around! I don't know when I'll need you." THURSDAY Again I spent a troubled night It was not so much that I did not sleep. I slept fitfully; for now ex-hausted nature was demanding her tolL It was more that dreams bothered me broken dreams with-out logic or continuity, great loom-ing, shadowy scenes which glided with an incredible ease and rapidi-tty- , one into the other, blended for an interval and then by some in-conceivable magic separated and Ace Fell Desperately in Love With Molly. Sylvia was enjoying the utter unre-generati-of her offspring and of course, like all childran, she was quoting grown-u- p violences of ex-pression. Indeed, when she had fin-ished, she looked up at me with a sunny smile. Then she set her lips again. "She ought to be sent to a reform school." I wondered where Sylvia had re-ceived her education in regard to reform schools and then I remem-bered that that was a pet phrase with Bessie in regard to naughty children. "But after all," I remonstrated, "it seems to me, Sylvia, that Do-rin- Belle is a pretty good child. She's very quiet about the house. She treats your other dolls very well." Compunction apparently hit Syl-via hard. "She's a beautiful child!" she admitted remorsefully. She picked Dorinda Belle up from the hammock. She was still kissing the china face when Patrick drove up to the door. 'I left pretty suddenly yester-day. Mary," he apologized, "but it gave me such a what my old prandmother used to call 'a turn' "Saturday afternoon," Sylvia an-swered with a childish explicitness. "Right after lunch!" "And where did you say you found it?" Patrick asked, turning the buckle this way and that so that it flashed fire. "Near the path to the Spinney." "Where were you going?" Pat-rick asked in the most casual of tones. "I was going to the Little House and I saw this buckle in the path. So I runned right back to get a ribbon to tie it on Dorinda Belle." "Now, who do you suppose," Pat-rick went on, "that buckle belongs to?"

Needs Hugh Bradley has at his guest col-umnist today, Earla Meadows, tht handsome ttcenty-ne-- y ear-ol- d pol vaulter who won the Olympic crown last summer at Berlin and who came within a quarter of an inch of a neta indoor world's record thi$ winter, lla tells of the thrills, problem and dis-appointments of an athleta on tin wing. By EARLE MEADOWS MY INITIAL take-of- f Into the of sports writing should, of course, concern the possibili-ties of a 15-fo-ot vault. I think It Is coming, and It's not so very far In the future, either. But the athlete who maker. It and there are many who have the potentiality will need a good Imagination and Just a bit of "what It takes" to make that height. I assume that the rabid track crowd is familiar with the forecast of George Varoff, the world cham-pion, who has predicted a 15-fo-leap within the next few years. That prophecy certainly is worthy of notice. But, even though George Is one of mj best friends, and even friends must disagree sometimes, I can hardly fall into line with his theory the vault will come as a result of combining two qualities, namely, his own push and the pow-erful pull of slim Sueo Ohe. My contention Is that It will not come by combining these two phases, for the simple reason that one asset would offset the other. It It quite Impossible to combine such a marvelous pull as his with potent push that the Oriental possesses. The combination would ruin timing In the air. My credo Is that the vault will result from the addition of a new technique entirely from the standpoint of the actual mechan-ism. After all, every vaulter will agree that working for form, rather A y n than maneuvering through the air with-out a parachute, is his aim, especially at the above height Varoff will agree, too, that when he made his world in-door record of 14 feet 4 inches at Boston last month, his in the air threw him down Earle head first proving Meadows that it makes the downward fall dan-gerous to the pole vaulter. Get busy, coaches, the pole vault is not yet mastered as far as tech-nique is concerned. Another point I would like to bring out Is that with the present system of measurement sucb as cost me a world record at the Garden In the New York A. C. games a 15-fo-ot vault Is Impossi-ble. It would take all night or day to measure the bar and the athlete would lose bis edge. I'm not complaining or criticizing the officials. I'm only asking that they remember this point An ath-lete trains for 13 years to achieve the honor of lifting his body to a height previously unreached by man. To achieve this record, a tre-mendous amount of energy must be expended. It would seem, there-fore, that the measurement should be checked carefully and announced before the record is attempted. I thought that winning the Olym-pic vault in the rain at F.eilin was th greatest thrill I had ever known, ant., that night at the Garden, when I cleared what I thought and every-body else, too was a record height. I can't express how I felt because It was such an unusual feeling to be so happy. And than . . . the IctdovTn, when they told me it was one-quart-er of an Inch short. And all because of inaccurate measuring instruments. I admit that I didn't want the officials to check with a steel tape before my attempt that night because they would have been standing there gab-bing yet probably, figuring out the ways and means, talking this over and thrt hot air that would thor-oughly have warmed an unheated Garden. By the time they finished I would have lost my edge. At the age of ten I measured the crossbar by my own stature, the most accurate means. I'll never forget bow I started to vault with an old worn-o-ut rug cane and a clothes-lin- e.
