His spirit seemed unbe- .comingly elastic under what ghould have been a crushing blow. Hstead of feeling angry because he had been tricked and cheated and cast aside, or miserable because the girl he loved was forever lost to him, he was eon- scious of a vast relief, a new sense of freedom. No.more petty and baffl- ing struggles with a will that yielded as perversely as it opposed, no more waste of time and manhood in persu- asion through kisses, no more anxious contemplation of the future. He knew now---what he had never quite had the courage to admit--that to him Nora would have been a drag rather than a help. 5 He smiled at the ironical thought, "How badly mother will feel about CHAPTER XL.--(Cont'd.)

Make it a rule when serving fried food to have an acid food, éither a vegetable or a garnish, accompanying the dish. . Here ate ft a fow things to keep in mind when planning to serve fried foods. Use very small quantities of foods that are cooked in fat for peo- ple occupying sedentary positions, while those who are employed in ac- tive or laborious work may eat a larger proportion. Persons who are working at hard manual labor, 'out of doors, will be able to assimilate daily portions of fried food without any physical disturbances. For digestion's sake, learn to serve: : Juice of lemon with fried fish. Apple sauce with pork cr goose. Cranberry or current jelly with rcultry, lamb or mutton. Horseradish with beef. It is a curious thing that nature demands these combinations to equalize thf fatty content of the meal. Saye and classify the various fats, and so that there need be no waste. Cho all bits of suet fine and place in a double boiler and then render. Chicken and pork fat may be render in this way, Nay An excellent shortening that may be used to replace butter in cooking and baking may be de from chicken fat, of which ere is usually three or more ounces in one fat bird. Remove the fat from the bird and place in cold salt water for one hour and then drain and cut into small pieces, Render in a double boiler. Pour 'into a jar and allow to harden. Now, when using this fat, use one-third less than the amount called for in the recipe. To make pastry, allow four {ablespoon- fuls of this fat to each cup of flour. Chicken fat may be used to replace butter for seasoning vegetables and mashed potatoes. This is a pure fat free from moisture and seasoning and will go farther than butter, Generally in speaking of the term drippings, this is taken to mean all fats rendered - from meats used by the household. This is a mistaken idea. The word "drippings" is meant to include fats that cook out from roast beef, pot roast, soups and corn beef. This fat is clarified and then used for sauteing. It cannot be used with good results for making pastry and cakes. To clarify fat: Put'the fat in a saucepan and add one cupful of cold water to every pound of fat. Add one-fourth teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda, one-half teaspoonful 'of salt. Bring to a boil and then let sim- mer slowly for ten minutes. Pour through a strainer lined with cheese- cloth 'and allow to harden, then cut into pieces. Reheat and pour into jars. Bacon, sausages and ham fats may be blended- with beef drippings for frying purposes, Mutton or lamb fat must be clari- fied and then blended with ham and bacon or sausage fat. Fat from bacon, ham or sausages may be use for flavoring. vegetables in place of butter, for cooking omelets, potato cakes, mush and scrapple. It is a splendid seasoning to use for macar- oni, baked beans with tomato sauce, dried 'beans and peas in soups and when cooking dried lima beans. ~~ There is really no need to allow a spoonful of these fats to be wasted. Fats that are not available for table use should be collected and made into soap. = { ; Do not be falsely economical in trying to do deep frying with these fat3.

Food cooked in vegetable oil does not absorb the fat and it is more digestible and really more 'econ- tilize each particular kind P food may cooked. : The coitect temperature, for deep fal frying is 860 degrees Fahrenheit, for raw foods, such as crullers, fish, fritters, potatoes, ete. "For cooked dishes and oysters, shigese-balls ete., 870 degrees Fahrénheit. : Do not attempt to cook large quan- tities at one time. This will cause a sudden drop in the temperature of the fat, allowing it to permeate the food which is cooking, and thus give a greasy product, Now for a word of protection. Do not use too large a kettle. Keep a bucket of sand handy in the kitchen, and if by any reason the fat catches fire, throw sand on it; do not attempt to remove it from the stove--serious burns are apt to result." Keep the fact in mind that water spreads the flames; if no sand is at hand use salt of flour. Many leftover foods may be turn- ed into palatable products and thus help to extend" the food budget, re- quiring only a minilum cost and labor to prepare them. Healthy Hair, It is quite possible to brush the hair too much, but few women are given to the fault. The use' of the brush twice a day for five minutes { each time is most béneficial, encour- aging the growth of the hair, cleans- {ing it of dust and promoting the gloss, which is the fairest feature of the hair. But this brushing must be done gently, with smooth, slow, down- ward strokes and without snapping away the brush suddenly when the ends of the hair are reached. It is jerky <~prushing that is injurious to the halr, breaking if off and severing it from the follicle. The hair does not drop out, especially in winter, though growth is somewhat impeded i with cold; the slight shedding mani- {fested in the combings is a natural process, fulfilling the law of the sur- vival of the strongest. The loosened and broken hairs drop in this man- ner, and a new crop of young hairs take their places. 4 ; pm-- Fadeless Kitchen Gowns.

These were only incidents of. her experience, becanse, on account of her great passenger capacity, she was steadily and faithfully keeping to the task of transporting men and material for the armies in Europe.
