Zurich Herald, 1937-08-19, Page 6�r^ ft Por lovers of green tea By KATWG .FEN MORRIS Fancying herself in love with Peter McCann, son of Judge McCann, Sheila Carscadden met him secretly in an unused room of a library in New York. Then she learned from the boy that he loved her, but was to marry another girl, Gertrude Keane. When they started to leave, the door was locked. While trying to escape, they encountered two men, bootlegger gangsters, who, fearing Sheila and Peter know too much, kid- • napped them. When they were re- leased two days later, Sheila's family was skeptical of her story. Her brother, Joe, produced a tele►;ram, which read:— "Peter and I married hers.—Sheila." She had begged the gangsters to assure her family of her safety and this telegram was the re- sult. When she denied they were • married, her family was shocked. Sheila had just declared she would leave her home forever when Frank McCann, Peter's elder brother, ap- peared. He explained that he and Joe had given a marriage anl1ouuce- ment to the newspapers as the best way out of a difficult situation. The eeenct da.y Judge and. Mrs. McCann lr1 jiosed that Peter and Sheila marry. Sheila runs away and gets it -ten ac r wa't,Pcs et an „ tlantic -a City hotel, andFrank !McCann ap- pears suddenly and persuades her to fly back to New York with him. The p' -ane crashes. The poor pilot, she mused. One minute floating over the gray -white panorama of beach and wintry world, and the next minute just that still form, that trampled depression in the snow. "I've been in a terrible accident!" she. , thought. And then, wearily, "but what haven't I been through in the. lastfew weeks ?" "Does it feel good to be back in Nevr York, Sheila?" Frank said, opening his eyes. "Oh, does it! I was just thinking. My heart is pumping so, I can hard- ly breathe." They were in the city streets; the ambulance bell was ringing steadily now, and Sheila could see the side- walk crowds eying them interestedly as they went through. 'I had them telephone Mother I'd hurt my arm, and to have Doctor Underwood at the house," Frank said. "Well! Not much more of this, eh? We'll be comfortable in no time now, Sheila," "When on earth could you phone your mother?" "I had the police sergeant do it, asked him to telephone. Just to say that there'd ben a smash and that we were all right, and on our way in. I . told him to say that Mother was to use her own judgment about gett:ng in touch with your mother—" "Ma's probably got the fire de- partment out!" exclaimed Sheila, aghast. "Well, the poor fellow was killed, Sheila, and you can't avoid a certain amount of interest in that." "To be in an airplane smash —" Sheila murmured, struck afresh with the strangeness and horror of it. "I took my training at Bellevue," the nurse said, as they stopped at a Brbadway artery, "and my first case was a fellow that had come down in a plane." She was diverted. "For goodness' sakes look at the evening papers!" she exclaimed, And, glanc- ing eagerly out at a corner newsboy, she read a headline: "MYSTERY GIRL IN PLANE CRASH!" For a minute the words meant nothing to Sheila. Then her heart gave a great spring. In the remain- ing few seconds that they waited at the corner, she leaned forward and saw the front sheet of the paper, the hurried blurred photographs of the group in the park, the plane's great fallen wings, the lifted form of the dead man. . "That's the crash, all right," Miss. Sutter said. "It doesn't take long to get things into papers nowadays, does it? But where do they get that stems girl' stuff? You and 1 " She glanced at ]'rank eeerseMI ]i:then at Sheila. "You're his wife, aren't you?" she asked. "Oh no. Mr. McCann was just- bringing me home," Sheila said, with a queer, affronted little laugh. "Oh, I see—" the nurse said, in a peculiar tone, with a quick glance. "Mr. McCann," Sheila explained, in a low tone, with a wary look at his closed eyelids and unconscious face, "is engaged to be married to a Miss Bernadette Kennedy, of Spuy- ten Duyvil." The nurse's young bright eyes were sympathetic. "You two were trying to get away with something, hey?" she guessed shrewdly, smiling. "I don't mean anything wrong, just" she paused. "For Heaven's sake!" she said. "I wish I was dead," Sheila said simply. Frank muttered incoher- ently. "He'll be all right when he gets his arm set," Miss Sutter said in a whisper. "He's dazed with shock." "That isn't what's worrying me," Sheila answered, dully. "It's what my mother'll think, and what his people will think—" "But my good gracious, it isn't your fault if you're in an accident!" the other girl said quickly. "No, of course not,". Sheila admit- ted, uneasily- "But—but it' 'just seems as if everything had gone crazy!" she lamented. Frank opened his eyes. "Don't worry, Sheila," he said, in a deep reassuring voice that still had traces of stupor in it. "I'll take care of you. We're all right!" The car turned a corner; they were at the McCann house. "Oh, God, protect us!" Sheila said in a whisper. It was a prayer. Oh, Frank," she said, "look! There's a million people waiting!" Not a million. But a crowd that framed both sides of the brownstone steps; a crowd that demanded the constant attention of two policemen. Men were pressing forward, women Pie sures of a Sunday Drive Through The Back Country The new and higher speed legalized on the provincial highways undoubt' edly will make them, even loss popu- lar than they have been during recent years for the motorists—and there are many of them --who appreciate. leisurely and relatively quiet progress.. There is really very little pleasure --especially for drivers—in having to contend with traffic as It is found on the main trunk highways during the summer months, The road must be watched so intently that little oppoe- tunity is given for sight-seeing, and, with traffic moving all the time with greater speed, the demands upon drivers become even more acute. But on the branch highways, the county and township roads, thing's are different. There, it is still possible to move at a moderate rate of speed without being forced to make way for hurrying drivers every few hundred yards. There are few, if any, trans- ports or buses to be avoided. Traffic is more leisurely, safer and quieter, and passengers can appreciate their surroundings and drink i'n the scen- ery as they pass it. And what scenery! The people who have confined their driving to main highways do not know what they have missed in neglecting what is popularly known as "the back coun- try". The countryside, seen at its best at this time of the year, is a treat for the oyes even when it is not accom- paused by the lakes, streams and oth- er bodies of water in which the rear townships abound. The pleasant, un- dulating landscape, dotted here and there` with these lakes and often fringed by woods, forms a panorama which can scarcely bo duplicated throughout eastern Canada, The people, too, are worth seeing rind visiting. Friendly, hospitable, in- dustrious and devoted to the land in which they live, they are glad to see' visitor's and to form urban contacts, Those who make heir way into the "back country" will find a hearty wel- •come' awaiting thein. They will 'also be able to learn from the people who live in the villages and on the conces- sionlines something of their customs. and their problems, and to reach a new appreciation of rural life. We are all for motoring throughout the "back country" rather than on the main highways, if it is pleasure that is sought. It make's for greater peace of mind, greater safety, attractive scenery, interesting contacts and greater understanding, — Brockville Recorder and Times. Rev.

"Frank, I can't go in, I'm going on home-" Sheila stammered, aghast. "I can't—they've a camera there—" He had pulled himself together, he gripped her hand. "No," he said, "you've got to go through with it. Your mother' may be here. Come on, just ewalk through, The crowd buzzed excitedly, as Sheila and a policeman between them supported the limping man across the sidewalk. "Narrow escape, Mr. McCann!" one of the policemen said, respect- fully. "I'll tell the world!" Frank answer- ed, with a groan and a smile. The crowd laughed in shocked sympathy.

Mr. Dionne showed little inclination to be drawn out on any subject con- cerning the quints but when he was asked what he' thought of the latest lnov:ng picture of the five, he re- plied: "It was awful. They compared my babies to a litter of animals." We give Mr. Dionne credit for making that statement. There are some people .who regard the father Of the quints as an ignoramus. True, he doesn't hold a university degree, He ,may. plot have passed the high $chool • efitrai'rce examinations. His book learning is not extensive, but he 'manifested that he does possess a sense of proportions when he ob- jects to classifying animals with hu- mans. The part he referred to in the latest moving Picture of the quints showed poor taste. A child could be excused for introducing tha "pig" scene". But adults who pre- tend to know .a good deal—never.

Lou° No. 26—'27 D-2 The Home Corner By ELEANOR DALE '":50 ' Frosty Drinks for Summer Days What is summer without good iced drinks? But what's the use of iced drinks if you get all hot and bothered making them? However, there are short cuts for making cool drinks and the following recipes are selected to give you the quickest, easiest, and most delicious methods for making several grand drinks. Iced tea and iced coffee are the first that come to mind, that is, for the adults. But there are also the children to consider when serving re- freshing drinks and their choice will always be something with chocolate flavor. Iced chocolate then, for the youngsters, not only because they love it, but because the wise mother can supplement her children's diet this way and give them plenty of nourishment in the odd glass of iced chocolate. It's also an ideal way to serve milk to those young scamps who insist that they don't like milk. Iced Tea 3 .cups fresh cold water 3 rounding teaspoons tea Heat water just to a bubbling boil. Measure tea into scalded tea pot (earthenware, china, or glass). Pour on the boiling water, cover, and let stand to steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Strain over cracked ice in tall glasses. Serve with sugar and cut sections .of lemon. Serves 4. Iced tea may be garnished with sprigs of fresh mint, slices .of orange, lemon, or lime, or with cherries or strawber- ries. Iced Coffee 4 cups fresh cold water 1 cup ground coffee Cracked ice, For percolator method, pour water into pot of peico'lator;•set percolator basket in pot and measure coffee into it. Cover. Let percolate slowly and gently 10 to 15 minutes. (To obtain full strength, let percolate 15 to 20 minutes), Pour over cracked ice in tall glasses. Serve with sugar and cream. Serves 4 to 6. Coffee may be prepared by any other method—drip, boiled, or steep- ed — using above proportions. The extra strength coffee is necessary on account of the melting ice. Always use freshly made coffee. Iced coffee made from left -over cold coffee is unsatisfactory. Iced Chocolate 2 squares unsweetened chocolate 1 cup water 3 tablespoons sugar Dash of salt 3 cups milk Add chocolate to water in tep of double boiler and place over low i flame, stirring until the chocolate is-. melted and blended. Add sugar and' salt and boil 4 minutes, stirring con- stantly. Place over boiling water. Add milk gradually, stirring con- stantly; then heat. When hot, beat with rotary egg beater until light and frothy. Cool and pour over cracked ice in tall glasses. Stir well to blend and chill. Top with sweet- ened whipped cream. Serve with simple wafers or plain bread-and- butter sandwiches. Serves 4. From the following recipe for chocolate syrup, you can concote all sorts of chocolate drinks, by adding ice cream, malted milk, mocha flav- oring, mint or pineapple flavoring. 4 or 5 squares unsweetened choco- late 1 cup sugar 2-3 cup hot water 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten Melt chocolate over hot water;' cool to lukewarm. Add sugar to the water, stirring until. sugar is dis- solved; then cool to lukewarm. Add this syrup to egg yolks, about one- fourth at a time, heating well after each addition; add chocolate in the same way. Then continue beating mixture 1 minute, or until slightly' thickened. Turn • into jar, cover tightly, and place in refrigerator. Syrup can be kept for several days. Use 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup to a cup of milk in making iced choco-, late drinks. Makes 2 cups syrup. Useful Tips If you need only a little lemon - juice, pierce a hole in the lemon with a steel knitting needle and squeeze. The hole will close up and the lemon, will remain fresh. Polo -necked sweaters --often stretch in the wash. To prevent this run a wool strand round the neck and draw up tightly. Do not take out until the sweater is dry. Hang a carrier bag behind the' pantry door' and put empty paper bags, brown paper and string into it. 'You will save time when you have a parcel to make up. When boiling milk put a clean marble into the pan. It will stir the milk automatically and prevent burn- ing. Tissue paper will remove rainspots from satin. Crush the paper into a soft ball and rub over the spotted parts with a circular movement. Taking Exercise In Small Doses Nct A Wise Policy to Make Start of Vacation too Aanbitious Foolish indeed is the girl who, on the first day of her vacation, plays 18 holes of golf or two or three fast sets of tennis, goes swimming, rows a bit, takes a br:sk walk, then dances half the night. If she has not had much exercise since last summer's holiday, such an ambitious start will overtax her muscles and make them sore and, in general, do her body more harm than good. The sensible idea, of course, is to take active sports as well as white hot sunshine in lackaclas'cal manner for the first four or five days. Swim, ride, play tennis and golf or go mountain climbing if you like, but don't do any of these for hours at a time or all of them in ono day. And do gat a little more sleep and rest than you are in the habit of getting at home. Naturally, hav'ng as much fun as possible is all-important, and it sloes not matter when you sleep as long as you do it. If you have danced ung til two, don't make an appointment to go swimming at nine the same morning. Go on and sleep until past noon, then swim. Two to three woeks of adequate rest and a sensible amount of exercise can do a good deal to keep you healthy and happy for an entire year. And don't go nat:ve unless you have isolated yourself in a little cabin miles and miles from another human being. No matter where yot spend .year vacation, keep a lipstick handy and do use something to ,pre- vent a severe case of sunburn and all the grief which invariably follows .it. If you are one who seldom can • find time to apply a mask or give face and throat a thorough creaming and if you really enjoy playing around with beauty preparations, use a few hours of your vacation improving hair, skin, figure. You might even take along some samples of new makeups you have not had a chance to try. There are 8,096 county divisions and 22 independent cities in the United States.
