From that day, however, he. wan Little
Gay's mortal:-. enemy, ;and, as. Havel had
expressed it, was only waiting for a good.

And this brings us -back to the angry

Little Gay had barely ceased speaking,
when the great factory bell commenced
pealing the hour of noon.
In a trice the huge wheels and looms
were stilled, and the girls wore BesmDer-

Gay took clown her braided jersey, and
slipping the. elastic of her hat over her

When else was quite out of .sight of
Hazel's watchful eyes all., her fortitude
seemed to give way at once.
Passionate tears sprung to'the-lovely
dark eyes, and great sobs shook her slen-

It seemed such a relief to rebellious: de-

cook for 10 minutes ; salt, popper
and the ground peanuts are next
added to the, sauce ; now a layer of
macaroni is put in a buttered puti-
ding dish, and a layer of the sauce
and peanuts is poured on; then an-
other layer` of macaroni, and next
(Wore sauce and peanuts are used
until the materials are consumed;
buttered crumbs are now placed on
top and the dish is put in the oven
until browned on top.
Peanut Butter. —Take freshlye
roasted peanuts, hulled and thor-
oughly, winnowed, put them
through a meat grinder several
times until they look smooth and
buttery, then add salt and cayenne
pepper to taste. ,Sometimes a lump
of sweet melted country butter is
added. Beat till the whole is light
and creamy.
Peanut Fudge Filling. -Two cup-
fuls of
up-fuls,of sugar, one pint of milk, four
squares of chocolate, four table -
utter teaspoon-
ful
oon-
spoonfuls of butter, one eas P
ful of vanilla essence, one cupful' of
chopped peanuts. Put all ingredi-
ents into a sauoepan and let this
stand at the back of the range un-
til the mixture liquefies. Boil un-
til e, soft ball is formed; beat 'until
creamy; spread between cakes.
The peanut contains from 40 to 50
per cent oil, clear, odorless, color-
less, resembling olive oil in many"
respects, and having the property
of resisting change under all ordin-
aiy exposure for a. great length of
time. It is used for lubricating and
soapmaking, and is a good substi-
tute for olive oil for salads and
other culinary purposes, and takes
the place of 'lard and. butter in cook-
Lug.
Peanut ' Soup. - One pint of
shelled and blanched peanuts; two
tablespoonfuls of onion,' two table-
spoonfuls of celery, one pint of
white' stock, four tablespoonfuls of
butter, one pint of milk, salt, red

of peanuts allow a teaspoonful 'of
salt and a tablespoonful of melted
butter or olive oil; let them stand
for one hour, then put them on
tins, and brown delicately in the
oven. Shake and stir frequently,.
that they will brown evenly. They
should be prepared as needed, as
they grow yaangid -and-soft if kept
on hand too long. 91,....
Peanut Salad. -Soak half a pint
of peanut meats in olive oil, drain,
and mix with one pint of cut cel-
ery and 12 ripe or green olives,
pitted , and chopped; mix with
mayonnaise, and sere on lettuce.
This is particularly good to serve
with duck or game.
Peanut Sandwiches. -There are
several ways for using peanuts fcr
sandwiches. . They may be simply
pounded or chopped fine, well
sprinkled with •salt, moistened' with
a few drops of olive oil, and spread
thickly between slices of buttered
bread. Or they may be powdered
and stirred in -mayonnaise for the
filling, mixed with cream cheese,
and spread between crackers or
slices of thin buttered bread. An-
other way : With a biscuit cutter
slit slices of bread round, cover
with whipped cream (not sweeten-
ed) ; mash some peanuts fine, and
sprinkle thickly over the cream.
Nice for afternoon luncheons.
Peanut Caramels. -Put into a
saucepan over the fire one cupful
