Zurich Herald, 1937-08-05, Page 7Try Salada Orange Pekoe Mend • ;2 a By KATHLEEN NORRIS a. Synopsis for Preceding instalments: Kidnapped by gangsters, then re- leased (after spending two nights im- prisoned in a deserted farmhouse), Sheila Carscadden and Peter McCann, soh of a prominent New York jurist, found themselves in a strange predic- ament. Their families insisted that they marry, regarding the episode as a wild escapade. Peter was engaged to another girl. In love with him for a time, Sheila no longer cared for him, and she ran away to avoid doing so. While she was working as a waitress i•i an Atlantic City hotel, the newspapers printed columns about the disappearance of "The Mystery Girl" Frank McCann, Peter's older brother, traced her and persuaded her to fly back to New York with him. The plane crashed near Newark, the pilot was killed and Frank and Sheila were injured, Frank badly. When Sheila was reunited with her family her widowed mother, her brother,Joe and her crippled younger sister, An- gela—she was distressed to find her- self -,again the object of thinly -veiled speculation in the newspapers, Mean- while, at the McCann mansion, Frank was recovering from his injuries. His fiancee, Bernadette Kennedy, unable to accept Frank's reason for seeing Sheila in Atlantic'City, and divining that Frank loved Sheila, not her, re- nounced him This she did at the McCann home in the presence of the McCann and Carscadden families. Bursting into . tears, Sheila asked: "Joe, you believe me, don't you?" "Maybe they won't let me see hirn!" Sheila thought. But she knew that Frank's father and mother were away; they had gone to the big Char- ity Drive lunch—their names had been in the paper And- 'hon.,,3`oe had telephoned this mottling, to ask as usual for Frank, Mrs. McCaann's. voice, Joe said, had been, quite cheer- ful—Frank had been .out yesterday, and,had sat up for supper with Miss Kennedy the night before, and she and the judge had no anxiety in leaving him today. Sheila anticipat- ed no trouble, and sure enough, ev- erything went stiloothly. 'There had been something in Sheila's spirit all day that had pronaisea 'smoothness; she had had no doubts of what the outcome of today's venture would be. Mamie admitted her, and if there was any hesitation or doubt in her man- ner, Sheila did not see it. The girl, following . her, walked straight through the great spacious hall, and mounted the stairs, and crossed the upper hallways to the doorway of Frank's room. The door stood open; Sheila saw open windows, and pots and jars of exquisite flowers, beyond. She be- gan to tremble now, and felt ae much like crying as smiling as she walked into the room. Mamie did not an- nounce her, merely stood at the door.' Frank was alone, dressed, seated in a great chair piled with pillows, his bandaged left arm strapped across his breast. Over his silk shirt he wore a loose blue silk coat; his hair was neatly brushed, he looked thin, and a little pale. As Sheila walked slowly to his chair, her unwilling eyes fixed on him, he glanced away from the win- dow, and instantly a sort of magic seemed to be shimmering about her, and she felt hardly conscious of what she was doing. "Why, look who's here!" Frank said, with his broadest smile. "Well, I am glad to see you! How are you? Sit down, sit down. No, pull your chair nearer. I'm all alone." Sheila sat down, and looked at ham. "Do you know, I've been thinking about you, and wanting to see you?" Frank asked. And as she did not answer, he went on, "Funny thing, I was talking about you only last night. Bernadette was here Miss Kennedy, you know—" "I know." Sheila's voice was very faint: His nearness, the sight of the hard, blue -shaven jaw again, the flash of his white teeth, the half -smile in his Irish eyes, were too much for her. The tones of his voice made her heart feel as if it were melting wax. "I said to Bernadette that you were the darnedest kid I ever saw," Frank said. "I said I had the fun- niest feeling of—being responsible for you!" "You told her that?" "Bernadette,- you know," Frank said, with a smile, "got all wrought up about our flying together from Atlantis: City. What do you think of that? It doesn't seem a bit like her—seriously, I mean."' "She-" Sheila cleared her throat: "She said something—that day—" she began. " • "The day of the accident?" "Yes. Down here; down here in the hall." "I gathered from something Mother said, she did. But when I was better—when she and I had had a talk, she got over itl" "Sure," Sheila said. "Sure," he echoed. He fell silent; smiling, unalarmed. Sheila sat silent, too, wrapped in the luxury and beauty of the big, old- fashioned room; enjoying, without analyzing what she enjoyed, the soft deep carpets, the flowers, the rich colors in lamps and books, curtains and bed 'draperies. "Is this your room, Frank?" "Nope.. l' n up on the next floor; it's not so grand as this." "Whose room was this?" "Well, this used to be an upstairs sitting -room. Then Pop put the kitchen and the dining -room into the basement floor, and turned the old dining -room into a library, and gave Mom a sitting -room next to that, and. this has been a sort of spare Nona ever since% And beyond the bath - rem; there—the room where they set my arm ,- is Gert's room. "And that reminds me that she's coming down to dinner tonight," Frank went on. "And Pete's home, got here yesterday. And we think they've been writing to each other, and that they've made' it up."

Sheila exclaimed. "Honest, are you?" "Oh, honest!" And she looked at him in surprise. Frank was eying her with a teas- ing expression. "I thought you liked Pete?" "Well, I don't." "You're not jealous, anyway," he said. And after a minute he added, "I don't believe that after five years of being engaged, you'd suspect a man of anything,, would you, Sheila?" "I wouldn't be engaged for five years," Sheila answered. "You wouldn't! Why not?" "Because—" She v;as thinking it out. "Because I wouldn't want any man • to feel—sure O. me, for five years," she formulated it slowly. (To be Continued.) College Has Course . For Hotel Chefs Must B'e Able TQ Prepare Table 41 -late Dinner, Serve and Profit. TUSKEGEB, Ala. --Ability to pre- pare .a table d'hote dinner,. serve it properly and make a profit on the meal will determine the grade of a number of students at Tusltegee In- stitute, Practical knowledge of foodstuffs, their preparation and serving is the aim of "in-service" hotel cooks and chefs taking the institute's short course in commercial dietetics. Examinations consist of a series of dinner divided in three projects: a la carte, table d'hote and cafeteria. The examination room is Tuskegee's cafeteria where 3,000 meals are serv- ed daily. A hotel manger, W. T. Wilson of Montgomery, Ala., started the idea of a school for cooks and chefs when he mentioned southern hostel men had difficulty in getting good cooks. Dr. F. D. Patterson, president of the institute, added a three-year course in commercial dietetics to the college , curriculum. In all, 56 stu- dents were enrolled. But the short - ;course was also added so cooks al- ready in service on hotel jobs night obtain training. A New Jersey hotel manager drove to Alabama in a station wagon to get six Negroes who -will work in his AFTER EVERY MEAL ss establishment, Other graduates of the school have been 'placed in Ala- bama, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, North, Carolina, New York, Ohio and Michigan. The faculty this summer includes R. G. Booker head waiter of a Rich- mond hotel, and Chef Carson Gulley of the University of Wisconsin. Dog Problem Dog owners are by no means all on one side. Some of the bitterest protests reaching the newspaper of- fices have come from persons who al- ways have kept a dog. What these persons say is that real lovers of dogs would take care of their dogs To be considered earthquake -proof, a building must be capable of with- standing a horizontal pressure equal to one-tenth of its own weight.

Corner By ELEANOR DALE A SALAD FOR EVERY COURSE Let's think about salads—their usefulness in summertime meals; all they can do for us—and all we can do for them to make them the very best possible. They can be all things to a meal. 'They can start it or wind it up. They can be the salad course or the main course. They can be tart or sweet. They can be hearty and filling or just something frivolous to entice and intrigue the lagging appetite. Here are four salads that illustrate the different parts salads can play in meals. Knowing how to make a salad for every course in the menu from appetizer to dessert—will stand you in good stead many times. To start at the beginning, here is Cool Melon Salad. This salad -appe- tizer is very pretty with the green of the lime jelly and the creamy -pale green of the honey dew melon. The lettuce is still another shade of green. Can't you imagine what a wonderful beginning to a light sum- mer supper this would be on a cool side porch after a hot afternoon? alt would re -fresh and soot)) anyone after a tiring day and save the cook from last-minute work and worries. It can be made in the morning, put in the refrigerator and served cold and juicy, at night. Cool Lemon Salad 1 package quick- setting jelly powder 1 pint warm water 11 cups cantaloupe or, honey dew, melon, cut in balls. Dissolve jelly in farm water. Chill. When slightly thickened, fold in melon balls. Turn into mold. Chill until firm. Unmold on crips lettuce and garnish with mayon- naise. Serves six. If you wish, watermelon -"can be used but be sure to cut it in balls,. they are so much prettier than cubes in a salad. This can be done with the half teaspoon of your set of measuring spoons. The second in this series of salads is Tomato Salad Aspic. This as everyone knows, is a vei''y popular salad and especially so , when made with jelly. The crimson jellied mold set in a bed of curling lettuce is as pretty a dish as one could find, It makes a good salad course at dinner or it can be used in place of a second vegetable at a family or other in- formal affairs. TOMATO ASPIC WITH VEGETABLES 1 package quick -setting straw- berry jelly p6wder 1 pint warm tomatoes 2 teaspoons prepared horse -radish 1% teaspoons scraped onion 1% teaspoons salt Dash of cayenne % cup cooked string beans 5's cup cooked fresh peas 1 cup diced cucumber 1 teaspoon minced onion 14 teaspoon salt - 14 cup French dressing.

Toss vegetables, salt and dressing together lightly and chill. When jelly is firm, unmold rings on crisp lettuce. Pile vegetable mixture on each. Garnish with mayonnaise ,and water cress. Makes four large Salads. Here is the next salad. It's Chicken Loaf Salad and it makes a marvelous luncheon or supper dish, because it is filling and can be used as the main course. It is the last word in something different in the salad line. It is molded in a loaf pan and cut in slices. It contains a lot of good things and served with toasted scones or muffins is a grand dish for your next luncheon party or Sunday night supper.

Coming to the end of the meal, we need a dessert. Here it is in the form of Cherry and Pineapple Salad. This type of salad can be used to take the place of separate salad and dessert courses.. It shortens the menu, eases up the work of a meal and still glorifies the meal. 1 package quick- setting cherry powder 1 pint boiling water 1 cup white cherries, pitted and halved 1 cup canned pineapple, diced. Dissolve jelly powder in boiling water. Chill. When slightly thick- ened, fold in fruit. Turn into mold. Chill until firm. Unmold. Garnish with mayonnaise or serve plain. Serves five. N1A. 'mal Children Act Their Ago Ten -Year -Old Should Not Plan With Toys Five -Year -Old Enjoys There are dozens of growing epochs, fairly distinct from each other, in every child's life. There. fore, discipline and punishments should be 'based upon motive and timeliness. Certain allowances should be'made for the driving power of the mind. In other matters, too a e uld will not only act his age, but should. -un- less his intelligence, quotient is under average, the ten -year-old should not be playing with things a live -year• old enjoys. This is important, there- fore, it is bast for him to have some companions of approximate ".airs. He should be skating, riding, construct• ing things end playing ball, n :t fuss- ing too much with sand piles or making paper chains, any more than the five -year --old should be engros- sed in a rattle. It follows that if we expect a child to act his age, by the same token he cannot always control the urges of his years. He varies, but he goes on, making mistakes, not too deliberately but, as we say, because the Old Nick drives him. And Old Nick is just himself. cith2rs-in-Law d+ Club tI s Stcfrte Five Texas Women Organize An As- sociation To "Preserve American Home" ATISTIN, ''texas. — Five Texas mothers-in-law bade their jibed -at sisters throughout the United States' to become members of the incorpor- ated "natioibal association of mothers- -in-law clubs," but Gene Howe wasn't - on hand to cheer them. Howe, editor -publisher of an Amar- illo newspaper, has been saying nice things about mothers-in-law since 1934. That year he made the country mother-in-law conscious by launching, an annual celebration to honor all such elatives, in penance for the, jokes he printed at the expense of his wife's mother, Mrs. Nellie Donald. Recently Mrs. Donald and four co/ - leagues were granted a charter for a corporation under Texas laws, design-, ed to "preserve the American home. This -. as taking place while editor Howe was visiting his mother lA, Westport, Conn., according to Amara ilio sources. UM -DIPPING is a patented Firestone process not used in any other tire. With it every hundred pounds of 'cord fabric absorbs eight pounds of rubber and, as a result, every fibre, every cord and every ply in a Firestone tire is coated and insulated with pure rubber to counter- act internal heat and friction ---the greatest enemy of tire life. Due to this extra process, Firestone Gum -Dipped Cords have 58% longer flexing life. Yet you donot pay one cent more for this extra value. And you also get 2 Extra Cord Plies under the tread and the Firestone Scientifically Designed Safety Tread. See the nearest Firestone Dealer today! l .:s 1 a 4
