" They went bowing down the road at the leisurely rate of twenty-five miles an hour. At least it seemed a laisure- ly rate of travel in that smooth-run- ming, comfortably cushioned car, Fala As they proceeded, silence again fell between them.

On the contrary, she was glad when, upon entering a town that was the seat of-a small college, they turned into the grounds of the attractive inn. "We'll dunch here," said Maguire. "You"il have a chance to see how you Took." - He left her at the entrance while he drove off to put up the car. When he rejoined her, she was seated in a chair on the verandah; her veil was pushed up and the earrings showed in their full splendor. He smiled at sec- ing how her eyes sparkled.

On the way to the diming-room they passed the inn parlor, and Noma espied an oval mimror in a gilt frame on the farther wall. She could not resist its jure; she slipped into the room, the four ladies who were playing bridge stopped their game to look at her; she went up to the mirror and stood in front of it for some moments, tting and pretending to arrange her 'hair. with Fi pasare, they saw a slim, grace gure, appropriately y a face youthful and happy, merry, imsi es, pretty lips parted in they accepted tha pearl the big diamond sparki- "Aren't you sald when they were once more on y down the cormidor to the .

Individual porcelain cups are nice to use for desserts, baked beans, cus- tards and many things which cannot be sent without a dish. For sandwiches many kinds of bread and fillings may be used. Day- old bread will cut to better advantage and make better sandwiches than fresh and is much better for the digestion. quarter of an inch thick in oblongs, rounds, diamonds and even heart shapes to lend a little change to the "looks." Grown-ups as well as the children enjoy finding odd-shaped sandwiches with unknown fillings and it takes only a few minutes longer to cut them. . In packing the lunch, place the things to be eaten last in the box first and the things which naturally would be wanted first on the top of the box. Too many things in the box is not good. Better have three things to- day and a complete change to-morrow than to have to repeat to-morrow. In preparing the desserts for din- ner to-day, plan ahead for the lit- tle dessert cups for the lunches to- morrow. Make enough more to All | them and set them aside all ready for | packing in the morning. Try to make the lunch hour a hap- py one for the absent ones by adding zest and interest in the unexpected contents of the lunch box. This is easily accomplished by adding one new feature or dish each day, some- thing different and not repeating day | after day the same hard-boiled-egg- cold-meat-and-bread variety too often met with in the average lunch box. Tt is wise to keep a proper balance of foods in the lunch. For example if the sandwich filling is of meat, plan a simple fruit dessert; or if the sand- wich is a sweet filled one, use the cus- tard pudding, gelatine desserts, baked beans or something more hearty for the other dish. When the lunch is planned, packed and all ready to close, slip into the corners a few nuts, simply shelled or salted or a few pieces of candy or méple sugar to "top off with." These make the whole complete. , The following little table of First Aids for the lunch box may be cut out, mounted 'on cardboard and hung up for reference in planning the family lunches. { Bread for sandwiches: Wheat, brown, nut, nut brown, oatmeal, rye, raisin. 8 Fillings for sandwiches: Minced ham, beef hash, bologna, veal salads, baked beans, minced egg, apple and celery salad, tuna salad, olives and green peppers, brown sugar, peanut butter, jelly, jam, marmalade, honey, molasses, lettuce and salad dressing, raisins and corn syrup, salmon salad, minced chicken. .

The following story is told of how a woman Photographer broke the law and thus helped fo bag a number of U-boats: The Admiralty had been baffled in their efforts to locate the lair of a group of submarines which 'were operating off Land's End and in the Bristol Channel. While spending a holiday on the coast this woman was unwitting in- duced to offend against Dora (the Defence of the Realm Act). Attract- ed by a picturesque spot-on the coast, with a beautiful stretch of sea, bound- ed on each Bide by a projection of rugged rocks, she determined to take a photograph of the scene. The nega- tive was left at a local chemist's shop for development. She was asked to return in a few days, and when she again called, the chemist had. many inquiries to make from her about the locality of the photograph and her object in taking it. She was told to wait a few days longer. - In the meantime a communication arrived from the Admiralty, request- ing her pr at Whitehall, and enclosing a railway pass. Surprised at the invitation, she decided to break her holiday and proceed to London. She first called on. the chemist and was then astonished to learn that her photographic plate had been sent to: the Admiralty, Fore- bodings of impeding trouble dawned upon her. At the Admiralty she was closely questioned, and informed that she had committed a breach of the | Defence of the Realm regulations. She was, however, greatly relieved ! and astonished when the officials | thanked her for having rendered a 'ugreat service" to the State. : "Do you get these spots in the photograph?" she was. asked, "Per- haps you don't know what they are. | Well, we don't mind you they | indicate German submarines lying at the bottom of the creek, and we have { bagged the lot."

Like a wise man, the sergeant-major had the strap made to his own design and paid for it with his own money. It is to him a priceless relic of the great-war. Germany's vaunted spy system, like the-overboomed Gérman navy, hardly realized expectations. There were, it is true, a great many spies in Eng- land, both before and after the war, { acting on behalf of the Kaiser. Most of them came originally from South American states. The British Secret Service resembl- ed its magnificent navy. It did its work as silently and effectively, and the necessary reticence observed as to its doings contributed very mater- ially to the discomfiture felt by the German Government owing to the mis- leading information which "fell" into German hands. Mythical Barrage in Channel. As a matter of fact, the Naval Intelligence Department, under Rear Admiral Hall, acting in conjunction with the censor's department, provid- ed false information to the Germans; of Dover submarine barrage revealed by Sir Roger Keyes.

It is difficult to estimate the value of the information obtained by this method. The Hun, wth his profound disrespect for British finesse, probab- |1y never will believe that Britain could be guilty of such astuteness. It is certain that Germany obtai- >d very little that was useful from her spies in England. From the outbreak of war the ports were too carefully | guarded to permit of much leakage. The wild stories of wireless tele- graphy and signalling to sea had little or no substance in fact: the risks of detection were too great.
