How Can 1? Ly Anne Ashley Q. How can I keep the range from rusting during the summer? A, By painting it with a good lubricating oil. When winter comes, wipe off the oil before using the range. Q. How can I prevent the spat- tering of fish when frying? A. Invert a colander over the pan. When boiling, add a table- spoon of vinegar to the water to prevent crumbling.

This gives each brush a chance to dry and regain its stiffness bsfore using again. Q. How can. I make smooth gra- vy? A. An absolute necessity in the kitchen equipment is a floes dredge, if one wishes the gravies to be smooth. Q. How can I remove postage stamps from envelopes? A. To remove them from enve- lopes or when they are stuck toe gether, place the stamp under a sheet of thin paper and run a hot iron gently over ,the paper. The stamps can be easily removed. Modern Etiquette LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNIN''GHAM - CHAPTER IX "You are mistaken," said Meri- del, but here own voice sounded strange to ber and there, was a feel- ing in her breast as if icy fingers had closed around her heart. "It was sone other one you saw—sone Nazi who looked like—like Michel." They shook their heads in unison. "There was the same small scar on this one's chin," said-Pol Mar- tin rallying to bis sister's aid, cling- ing to ber hand and thinking of B'onhormne Fricot's crumpled body in the dimness of the but and the grin one the German soldier's face as he left the lonely cabin. - "lt showed blue on the side of his chin." "No more of this!" Rudolph spoke with unwonted authority. "You have no right, no right what- ever, you ungratefu children, to cause pain to Madame Laurin, who has been so good, so kind, so gen- erous to you." . "'They are young,',Uncle Rucl.i." Meridel came quickly to their de- fense. "They dict not know what they were doing. Madame Laurin, I am sore, will forgive them. And • it is to- you, after all, that they owe their gratitude." "To mel' For a moment, caught off guard, Rudolph almost be- trayed himself. "Oh, I see what you mean. But please take them away now, Merideel. They have done enough mischief for today." By Robert: Lee 1. Wouldn't it be rude, when at- tending a church wedding, for one to leave the church before the members of the two immediate fa- milies? 2. Would it be all right to serve coffee in the drawingroom, fol- lowing a luncheon? 3. Is a man expected to make calls of inquiry, congratulation, and condolence? 4. In what way can a girl show gratitude or appreciation to a group of friends who have given her a bridal shower? 5, When a.n invitation is accept' ed by letter, is it best to repeat the exact date and hour mention- ed in the invitation? 6. Is it ever permissible person to leave the table a meal? ANSWERS 1. Yes, it is very rude to do so. 2, No; a luncheon is an informal affair and the coffee should be served at the table. 3, Yes, if he expects to retain his friends. 4. She can give a dinner, a luncheon, a tea, or even a theater party to these friends. 5. Yes; this will avoid any misunderstanding as to the time, 6. Not unless there is a very urgentnecessity. for a during Churchill `Choppers' )lour desperatewas Britain's Britain's defense situation at one time is evidenced by a new Churchill story in Guy Eden's new hook "Portrait of Ch, (.chi1L" At the close of his famous chal- lenges "We shall fight on at the beaches and in the streets," the Prime Minister turned and mur- nmrecl something' to the Cabinet members. It was this: "1 Flo not know what we :shall do it with --- choppers, 1 suppose." Choppers were the instruments warclelis carried to help thorn break bite) burning bt,ilclings. * * * When they had gone he bent over the od lady, who seemed to see nothing of what went on about her. "Madame!" he said earnestly. "Madame! Is there not something I can do? Let me take them away from here. They have caused you this mortal pain. It is folly, some childish nonsense! They Play games of pretending so much and so long that they think the people in them are real. I am stare there never was such a one as Bonhom- me Fricot—" Madame shook her head. "I pray God you are right, Rudloph. I'd. like to think that it is what you say—some of their make-believe. But I am afraid—" "But I knew Monsieur Michel and he—" "You know the ,vay he used to tall:, Rudolph—wild things he'd say and wilder things he'd do. He had three years at Heidelberg. And he was so quick to identify himself with anything revoluntionary, But, my God, I catmot think that lie— why, his father and two of his un - cies. died in the battle of the Som-• Me and Roger wears the cross his'- king gave him for bravery. Nn-. no—" "Please madame. I tell you it is some child's mistake. It is noth- ing." "I shall try to think so, Rudolph. The other thing would drive me mad. Why, he was as dear to me as my own—I could never think this of him, never." * * * Yet there was the gnawing doubt. And in Meridel's eyes, as she picked up the shattered picture of Michel Fabre was the same hurt, terrified look that she had seen in madame's. What a horrible thing was this! If there were truth in it, what ghastly truth! No, no, a man did not turn against his own blood. Why, he would be facing his own brother, seeking to des- troy hint. The face of Michel was little marred. Meridel took the broken glass away and put the picture back in its place. "It is not so, madame," said Meridel at length. "You must not for a moment believe this wild story," Do you believe it? You knew him for only a little while; I knew him for years, yet I feel that in the short time you were with him you learned much. And do you believe it?" "I won't let myself believe it. I ,should have to see it with my own eyes. I should have to hear it from his own lips," And you would believe it then, Meridel?" Woman looked at woman, the young one at the very old, and they understood each other. "Perhaps," said Meridel. Pol Martin and Rosine were standing with Mer].i' ' and Miss Carrick and some of the other children in front of the house one afternoon when a long cream - colored convertible sedan drove up and disgorged a huge beefy man in a checkered jacket and tan slacks, a lady in gorgeous mink and a diamond choker. "Well, bless my soul, Martha!' The big man's voice seemed to shake the walls of Philibert. "Look what Mimi has here now -'-a kin- dergarten, by gad! Trust her to do the proper thing. How d'you do? How d'you do?" He bowed right and left to the curious children, and beamed on Meridel and Miss Carrick. "I'm Guy Winterside and this is my wife, Martha Stahl. We used to be on the stage with Ma- dame Fahre - Lusignan. 'Where is Mimi? We cane to surprise her. Oh, here's someone we know! Here's Rudolph, the butler—good old Rudolph!" Meridel was close tt hint, but had she been a block away she could still have heard him. Slowly her cheek grew white; her hands were clenched at her side. "Has he been butler here a long time, Mr. Winterside?" she asked softly. * * The big man grinned down at her' "Bless you, my clear, of course he has—years and years and years. He's as much a fixture at Philibert as the statues in the park. How d'you do, Rudolph? We popped in for a brief visit. On our way to Quebec. How is madame? I'll het she'll be surprised." Rudolph's, face was impassive; only Meridel could see the turmult, the sickness, behind the smooth, menial masque. He bowed to the Wintersides. "It is good to see you again, sir. And you, madame. Let me take you upstairs. Madame Fabre-Lusignan will be so pleased to • see you." He conducted them into the • house. Meridel and the quiet Miss Carrick stared after their depart- ing backs. ' Pol Martin and Rosine came close to Meridel. They did not quite understand what had hap- pened, hut they could tell from Meridel's face, the fixed look in her eyes, the way her nostrils flared that everything was far from well. And Uncle Rudi had been like a different person and the hig man had flung his coat to Uncle Rudi so carelessly and Uncle Rudi had carried it on his arm, "What IS it, Meridel?" Pol Mar- tin tugged at her band.

Clarke o e Expectation is better than real- isation—so they say — but this week's events have been the ex- ception that prove the rule. We have been living on expectation for ages but last Thursday realisation began. Yes, hydro power was really turned on at last. It was about two o'clock that day when one of the linesmen cane along and said, "Are your lights all rght?" "Are they?' I answered stupidly, and then added hopefully—but in- credulonly--"D0 you mean the power is on?" "Sure—and.I can see lights on upstairs so I guess they're all right." "All right"—what a mild way to put it. And yet after -all it was a very conclusive description; I am not sure one could find anything better. We turned on switches here, plugged in there, wandered from, room to room trying out the lights, switched on the pole lights, and turned om the ones at the barn, and finally we agreed that, just as tl.e linesman said, everything "was all right". * ** But that wasn't the .only excite- ment. Twa days later our hard- ware man phoned to say my washing machine had arrived. That was almost too good to be true. And yet there was really no doubt about the matter. In due time the machine arrived hone and I'm telling you it is like something out of fairyland ... a magic whirligig that makes drudgery vanish into space; takes kinks out of backs and makes any wash "the whitest wash" —irrespective of any particular brand of soap bars or soap chips. * * * .: On the same day that thc wash- ing machine camp to brighten our lives, there also arrived a letter from my brother in England, with news that son Bob had been. to visit him and his fami'y. That was a wonderful piece of news because we knew then that Bob was one step nearer home though we had not yet heard from hint to that effect. And for the holiday weekend six visitors arrived—four adults, one little girl and a baby five months old. It is a long time since diapers flapped in the breeze from our clothes' line! But it was good to see them there. And that baby he was just the goodest and the sweetest wee thing you ever saw. * * As for farm work—on 'Monday there was hay to draw in and our guests supplied Partner with plenty of help for cne day, inexperienced —hut help none the less. Daughter did her part by driving the horses on the hayfork. Daughter and 1 put in a prettya good day washing, ironing, getting meals—minus potatoes washing dishes, fixing over dresses, and so we had a buss• but satj„factory visit —to which pt wetly lighted rooms added considerably to our com- fort and enjoyment. 'Now preparations are underway, for the departure of our guests. There is a scurrying around from place to place, a picking up from one room and then another. I am keeping out of it. When they have got everything together I will go around and gather up the things they have missed. And tomorrow is another day!
