Zurich Herald, 1945-04-05, Page 7TA' E TALKS Smooth, Glassy Brown Grcilvy Gravy can make or tear a cook's reputation, just as it can make or ;,Haar a meal. Actually, too, the achievement of a rich, velvety pro- duct is quite a sirnple feat. For ' gravy makers, however, w h o aren't up to all the tricks of the trade, the Consumer Section of the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture offers two rules, which, if followed will result in glossy gravy, free -from -lumps, the pride of any housewife, Two Rules Rule number one deals with the proper blending of the flour and fat. They should be well blended, and the flour browned before the Squid is added. Remember . , , the gravy won't brown after the liquid is added. Rule number two is concerned with adding and blending the liquid. It may be water, meat or chicken stock, liquor from canned or cooked vegetables, milk or to- mato juice, Whatever it is, the liquid should be cold when added to the fat -flour mixture. Also, it should be added gradually and the mixture stirred constantly during the operation. Gravy should not be made too far in advance of serving, other- wisd' it will dry out, become thick and pasty and form. a scum on top which is difficult to blend back smoothly into the gravy. 'or late - to -dinner members of the family, keep the gravy hot in the top of a double boiler, closely covered. Pan Gravy Add 2 or 9 tablespoons,_boiling water to frying or broiler pan used in cooking steak. Stir well to loos- en particles adhering to pan. Sea- son as desired and serve on steak.

At least, I'm pian enough not to ruin your life- - because I love you. It's goodby, Pana!" She ,could not speak; she let him go, but she stood still, tears blinding her. He would not take her to fight his battle, there was a. tumult in her heart, she wanted to run after hint to tell him she would face anything for him, but he didn't want her to go! The hot blood rushed to her face; then she remembered the anguish in his eyes'—and he was going! She stood holding her breath, listening to his footsteps going away down the long hall and, at last, the closing of the door. If there was something that she could do; wasn't there some- thing? Suddenly her heart leaped — the jade god! She would make Burleson tell her everything he knew. * * * She went softly across the hall. *he wanted to be sure that Lan- don had gone before she' went back to the library. There was a Atir in the rooms beyond and then unt Lynn's voice, cold and crisp, freezing someone out. Pam hid herself from them, trying to slip by, but she could not shut her ears. "I'm sorry. I knew your mother, Archie," Mrs. Lynn said icily, "but I can't pardon this." She was freezing Landon out! He mumbled something about Teddy Banks, and not being him self. "If you mean you'd been drink- ing—that only makes it worse," she replied sharply. "As for Banks — you know what I think! I told the servants long ago not to ad- mit hire again." "And now I'in in for that, too, I suppose!" Landon cried. "When I tried to undo it, too," "You'll have to pardon a wom- an who knew your mother, for speaking the truth, Archie," she retorted suavely. "You see, I'm not sure that your way of undo- ing it was—much better!" . Iie stammered more apologies and her icy voice trickled back at him "I-Ie's done!" Pain thought. "And I'm glad of it—the coward!" * * * Then Pain slipper past that cur- tain arch and fotmd the little door in the corner; it opened into the library Beside the fireplace. It was still in there; her first thought was that there was no one in the room; the shades had not been drawn; a street -lamp garisbed out- side, the fire on the hearth was low. Then, beyond the shaded lamp; she saw the outline of her uncle's gray head. She thought he was asleep, his eyes were closed, the red streak •had faded into ashen gray, he looked ill. It seemed impossible that he could be asleep after all that violence! She saw the scattered bits of pol- ished jade on the floor, shattered like poor Mark's hope of freedoms long ago. She stooped softly and began to pick up the fragments. She found the head unhurt, green beard and all, and the distorted mouth grined up at her. She had it in her hand when she lifted her eyes again and found Burle- son watching her. "Throw that thing away, Pam!" he said sharply. * * * But she did not; she came near- er, holding out her pink palm with the green head in it. "Uncle Herbert, Mark's uncle brought that when they were to- gether tor the last time; brought It for you, and 'he had it when Mark saw him last. He gave it tc, you afterwards," 'she paused, letting her words sink in, but he st.id nothing, only looked intently at her, "Don't you see?" she pleaded, "he gave it to you after Mark left him. He was killed after that. You can clear Mark, if you will!" • "Oh, can I?" his gray lined face was cruel when he twisted his lips like that! The girl looked steadily at him with the eyes of youth. "Yes, you can! You must—" She carne near- er, "Uncle Herbert, try to re- member—you must! He can't be left like this—he didn't do it!" * * * Burleson returned her look steadily, his grayness seemed to increase, for the tempest of his anger had left hint weak. • 'Why are you so sure he didn't do it?" he asked raspingly. She broke at that, suddenly childish and forlorn. "1 know -I love him!" He was dumfounded. "Extra- ordinary!" he said, after a moment. "You young girls now—good Lord, what would your grandmothers have said." "Who cares?" Pam stormed. "We're young—youth has a right to live!" "And age has to clear out, eh?" his face twisted again into his mocking smile. "If it stands in the way of life— yes!" she cried cr"uely. "Think of all Mark's lost—fifteen years of youth! It's cruel, it's wicked. Uncle Herbert, you must have known something; there was some- one else; why didn't you say so?' * * * He considered her, his head sunk l'etween his thin high shoulders. She was so splendidly young and so cruel in her youth. "Suppose T suspected," he said slowly, "suppose I didn't know, but if I'd said a word it would have pulled down a family, a good wife,. sons or daughters, and proved nothing—perhaps!" "Then you did suspect!" she cried. "You diel, and yon let Marl: go—for some old sinner in high place!" "1 didn't say that; I said, 'sup- pose' " "You meant it! \Vas any old man worth Mark's splendid youth, Uncle? He couldn't be!" "Perhaps his peep:' were. Think of the (lisp ace." "Think of it? Yes1" she cried, flinging the little green tread down, "think of what he's got to face— Mark! He won't let me face it with hint. He refuses to let me do it." "You mean you asked this—this ex -convict tc marry von, Pam?" he cried, sitting up in his chair. .

The wheels .of war will cease to burn, Free men will plough the fertile fields; , The thunder of the guns' be dumb. Once more will happy children play And sleep, untroubled, safe in bed; No terror fly by night or day! No fear of bombers overhead! Yet, grass will grow on countless graves, Marked by plain crosses row on row -- On men who gave their very all, That love and beauty we might know. And, though the bells of peace may ring — Still, mangled bodies, wracked with pain, And sightless eyes, will dumbly plead — "Let not our torment be in vain." In unknown places, noisome, dark, in swamps, in sands, in restless sea, Lie men who sacrified life's chance — That you and I might still be free, * * * What kind of world- will we then make — Full of ideals for which they died? Or, . will we grow stiff-necked again, In hatred, greed and haughty pride? Will trade and conquest be our God? W111 we still seek the highest seat? Then surely war will scourge once more And make destruction all complete. Shall we not bravely see that they, Our flesh and blood, strove not in vain, And build a world on right, not might, When bells of peace ring out again? — T. B. Gleave. War Or No War Bride Wears White he story of British opportunism never contained a more astonshing chapter of "recovered situations" than the one which British women have written in wartime clothing. Many a proud husband has gone off to work, prouder still, in a fine shirt made of the kitchen cur- tains. Most husbands wear Joseph's coats of may colors, the heroic last stand of five other shirts. There was a wedding the other day at which the bride's family and all the wedding guests in the know beamed on the bride with more than customary interest, for she was radiantly beauitful in the family tablecloth—the hest damask tablecloth unstarched and made over.

Clarke * * * Last Thursday my baby chicks were supposed to arrive on the morning train. I met the train and waited eargcrly near the baggage car—but alas there were no little chicks. I could hardly believe it I thought the trainman must have overlooked them, However the train moved on, and I, per- force, went home, minus the chicks. Naturaly I thought the shipper had missed the train and that he would either phone or deliver them in person. Noon came anti there were no chickens and no telephone call. So then I called "long distance" myself. The hatchery -man would hardly believe me when I said the little biddies had not arrived. "But I took them to the station at six o'clock this morning," he said. "Did you put them on the train ,ourself?" I inquired. "Well, no, but I gave them to the shipping agent. If you will wait a minute I will make inquiries and ring you back." In a short while that is what he did—and told me the chickens had been shipped all right but on the wrong train! They had gone to To- ronto. In all probability they would be sent down on "the Peanut" that evening. My poor little chicks—shut up in boxes and shunted around front one place to another. What will they be like when I get them, I won- dered. * At 7.30 I was at the station again and this time, so were the chickens. I opened the box with considerable trepidation and found not dead and dying chicks—but 150 lively, chipping little balls of black fluff, as warns and happy as you please. Joy riding must have agreed with then as I have since lost only two, Now, of course, I spend quite a lot of time running back and forth tc the brooder house—mainly to see that it doesn't get too hot. The sun is so warm and bright these early spring days. It is no hardship looking after baby chicks. I love to sit on the , sed bag and watch them grow. Yes, watch them! Honestly. they seem to sprout wings under my very eyes, * * In between attending to chickens and collecting for the Red Cross, Partner and i have made two trips to Hamilton — it having become necessary for • Partner to have a check-up at the clinic. These old soldiers. * * * On our first visit to the clinic we were very interested in the efficiency we found in every de- partment, Partner's name was called five minutes ahead time. A nurse took him to the doctor's own waiting room. From there to the consulting rem, the laboratory, consulting room, the laboratory, office, back to the first one, and finally out to the main office where accounts were tabulated and paid. The complete round took axactly two hours with hardly a minute wasted. The chief doctor, as he questioned Partner, wrote down all the particulars, and as each page was filled it was pegged outside his office door. From there it was whisked away as if by magic, taken to some secret sanctum, where the rough copy latcr appeared in the form of typed cards for future re- ference. The efficiency and quiet dignity which prevailed throughout the entire building was something to admire, and certainly gave Part- ner confidence in whatever pro- mouncement might result from his visit.
