Here's the favorite one of Mary Doner of 247 Park Ave., New York City. Take one brick and a cupful of turpentine. Cook the brick over a hot fire for twenty minutes. Pour the turpentine over it and serve. Does that sound appetizing? Well stick around a few minutes while old Francois Gibbons, the Franco-Fenia- n maestro of the skillet and the aoup ladle, juggles the pans around a bit and dishea you out a plateful hot from the kitchen of Old Lady Adventure's hash house. And before we go any farther I want to tell you that the very aroma of this delectable dish Is enough to make a horse go crazy. I don't know what it will do to you but heres the tale of how It affected Mary Doner. About 10 years ago, Mary and her husband lived In Maplewood, N. J., and horseback riding is a popular sport out in that neck of the woods. They kept a bunch of saddle horses for their own amusement, and since experienced grooms were Impossible to get at the salary they, could afford to pay, they were forced to employ green hands In the stable.

But she was quite ready to fall in love if only a real hero would come along and make love to her and just prove to her that he really was a hero. She never said so aloud, but right down in her heart she felt sure that there never had been a prettier Meadow Mouse on the Green Meadows than her self. She spent a great deal of time brushing her hair and washing herself and seeing to it that not so much as a small-gray-coat- ed lot.

Her heart fluttered with excitement, and she did wish that there was a little pool of water handy so that she could look at herself in it and be sure that she was looking her very best The fat important, meadow mouse had almost reached ner doorstep, and Nanny was feeling very shy and timid and was wondering what she should say to him, when her quick little ears caught the sound of other footsteps approaching from the other direction. Once more peeping out through the sheltering grass, she saw another caller approaching. He was younger and slimmer and trimmer looking than the first, and he seemed very uncertain and bashful. He would come a few steps and then hesitate, as if he was almost of a mind to go back. Then he would come on a few steps more. It was Danny Meadow Mouse. Hes very handsome," murmured little Miss Nanny, and her timid little heart fluttered more than ever with excitement She never had had a caller before, and now here were two callers at the same time. She wondered what she should say to them and if they would be pleasant to each other. And then all of a sudden she had a foolish feeling that she wanted to run away She had almost made up her mind to, when she heard the sharp, angry voice of the fat, important looking visitor He had just discovered Danny Meadow Mouse and he was telling him to clear out. that he had no business there.
