Canada’s FavouriteTea SALAD# TEA ft's An Old Southern Custom 111 JÅ' Sharon Wynne DEBUTANTE Stranded On the afternoon they were to leave tor stromdale, Gay and Jock and Irene were just getting Into the car when Irene received a telephone call. “It was some pi the bunch from New York,” she said as she rejoined Jock and Gay. “They’re coming by hère. They’re not sure Of their direc- tions. I’ll have to wait for them. You and Gay go on, Jock.” “We’ll all wait,” Jock replied. “No,” said Irene. “I planned to get the groceries and get the fires" started before the others arrived. You two go ahead and get that done. Stop at Starr’s grocery in that last little town before you got to the lodge. You know, Jock. Here’s the list of things.” She waved to them until a turn in the road took the Car out of sight, and then went, inside, smiling triumphant- ly. When Jock and Gay reached Starr’s grocery, the friendly old proprietor said to Jock: “You’re Jock Needham, ain’t yuh? You’re to call Miss Stromley at South- ampton.” Jock put in the call. Irene’s voice came over the wire, “Jock, dear, I’m stranded. That crazy gang changed their minds again. Decided not to come this way, after all. You’ll have to come back for me.” “We’ll Start back right, away,” Jock said. “Gay needn’t come back," said Irene. “I telephoned the lodge and discovered that Marvin and Beth are already there. They’ll pick Gay up at the store. You come back for me.” jock explained the situation to Gay, then departed. Trapped It was almost dusk before Marvin’s roadster finally drove up to the store. “Where’s Beth Allen?” asked Gay. “She’s waiting at the lodge.” Gay was silent during the fifteen- minute drive to the lodge. She wished that Beth Allen had come with Mar- vin. She didn’t like being alone with him. “Well, here we are,” lie said, as they drove up to the back porch of Stromdale. He helped Gay out, then took a key from his pocket, and unlocked the door. The place was dark and silent. Not a sign of life. Suddenly, Gay realizedâ€"-knew ex- actly what Irene had done! It was all a fra me-.ip! Betli Allen was not here. And that telephone call from “the New York crowd!” A faite. There wasn't any finiwe party. It was just a scheme cohcoSpi, by Irene find Marvinâ€"and probably Van Gordonâ€"-to trap her here with Marvin! And Irene would see to it that she and Jock did not get. here until morning. Panic seized Gay. What could she do? The village was ten miles, away. She sank down on a chair and began to cry. Marvin watched her a moment un- certainly. “Come, come!” he finally Haiti “There’s nothing to cry about . . , There’s ho harm been done. I love you, Gày. I want you to marry me.” She rushed from, the room and fled to an upstairs room. There, was no key, but she propped a chair against the door with the top underneath the khob. Then she sat staring at the dark- ening shadows of tie room until it was quite dark. "You Must Explain” Voices aroused her. She ran to the door and opèned it. Rodney! Rod- ney’s voice ! “Tell me the truth, Ploame,” she heard him say, harsh iy. “Is Gay here, or isn’t she?” Gay raced down the stairs. “Rod- ney, Rodney ...” He turned--pain, bewilderment and disbelief on Ms face. “Gay-â€"then,. Ireneâ€"was telling the truth!” “Take mo away, Rod.” She was trembling violently as she pulled at his arm. Ploame, with an insolent smile, walked to the door and opened it. “Good night,” he said coolly. Gay didn’t answer. Rodney led her out to his car. They were almost to the village before he spoke. “Tell me all about this, Gay.” She opened her lips to speak, then closed them again. She couldn’t ex- plain! If she told about the scheme against herâ€"if she defied Van Gor- donhe would spread the whole story about her debut. The scandal would cut her off forever from the approval of Rodney’s mother. “I can’t tell you, Rod. You must trust . ..." “You must explain,” Rodney an- swered. “I came out to your place at Southampton, found only ytiur mother there, and she said you were over hereâ€"-that she thought 1 was go- ing to he here, too, for a house party. Then, I came here, and instead of a house party, find you alone with Ploame! ” “I can’t, explain. You see . . ." “Gay, what Irene told me can’t be true!” Rodneys tone was sharp. “You can’t have fallen in love with Ploame ! ” “In. love! No . . . I . . •” Suddenly all the fight and spirit seemed to leave her. 1 Rodney, I can’t explain,” she said listlessly. “Perhaps we had bet- terâ€"break our engagement for â€" for a while.” “You mean that?” tersely. “Yes.” They didn’t speak after that. Rod- ney drove furiously, and left her at the door of her home without a word. (TO BE CONTINUED) When we think of fhe South, we think first of all of the hospitality for which it has been famed. And hospi- tality means food before anything else. Even the thought of Southern specialties makes one’s mouth water â€" fried chicken, candied sweet pota- toes, baked ham and corn breads. These are the proud cookery tradi- tions which have given the South a unique place in song, story and the hearts of those who love good food. However, you don’t have to live in or even visit the South to develop a taste for their food. Even in these Northern climes, corn bread with a real Southern accent is popular in many homes. Here are a few selected recipes which helped to build the re- putation of the South but which any housewife can use to build up her own reputation as a hostess.
