"And now," asked the dearest aunt, "what has caused you to doubt Petals loyalty?" "Peter has," the girl promptly replied. "Ob! it is a comfort to unburden to someone, at last. Of course, I could not possibly discuss Peter's ac* i tlons with another soul, but you-- "We have always been like gftris together," Aunt Priscilla finished for her. "I have suffered so," Vida went on, •for I Just couldn't share Peter with-- another girl. And though, when he has been here, I've tried to question him concerning this girl, I couldn't bring myself to do so. Pride tied my tongue, I guess, or maybe," added Vida honestly, "I was afraid that Pater might confess an affection for her. That, I think, would kill me." Aunt Priscilla started to smile, but the tragedy of the young eyes checked her. "And who Is this girl, dear?" she questioned, "and how has she come Into Peter's life?" •1 don't know," Vida answered tremulously. "I first saw them together one morning. They were coming from the door of Peter's office building. The girl wore a neat blue suit with a white collar, her blue sailor hat was faced with white. She was very tailored," said Vida sorrowfully, "and very pretty. Her hair •was red-brown. "Peter always did like red-brown hair, though my own Is golden. He used to admire it In pictures. Then, the next afternoon when I was driving through the park, I passed Peter and that girl In a car. It wasn't Peter's car, but evidently her own, for she was running it. She smiled up at him as they passed, and he was apparently too absorbed in what she was saying to notice my presence. When Peter called that evening, he was most absent minded and distrait, when he wanted to--say goodnight, well, I Just couldn't let him say it. Aunt Prissy, but switched away and ran upstairs. **I know my Peter, and K asked him casually if any relations \vere visiting at his home--you see Peter has no sisters and I thought I might find out about the girl. But he Just answered "No," wonderingly. And pretty soon he got up, It wasn't yet nine o'clock, and said he'd have to go because he had an engagement. "And oh, Aunt Prissy! When I went down to the corner to mail a letter there was Peter and that same Ctrl riding past in his car. The dearest aunt rocked for a while Sn silence. "There is a saying," she presently .remarked that love 'thinketh no evil.' So if you love Peter, Vida, you will not think him unfaithful." While he goes driving around with a strange girl whom he does not mention!" Vida Indignantly exclaimed. "You might question him concernthat young person, In a pleasant way," Aunt Priscilla conceded. Then she sat up abruptly, peering through the povch vines. "Why, here is Pjeter now," she said, "and if I'm not mistaken, the young Woman whom you described is with Mm." "He did not Intend to stop," Vida Whispered, "until he saw us." But Peter, hat In hand, was already «t the porch rail. . "May I borrow you, Vida?" he asked good naturedly, "there is something I particularly wish to show you. We Will take Aunt Priscilla later," he added, his fine face aglow. j Coldly, Vida motioned toward the feat figure In the waiting car. "Who It she?" she asked. Peter laughed. "I see that I shall have to confess . tty surprise before you see it, Vida," J»e said, "that young woman Is Miss IMellsoij, not only a real estate agent, but a clever architect as well.

UB6EST SW6LE FOOD (TBI .Some of Points Which Cause Failure Are Wrong Selection of Materials and Utensils--Essentials Are Urged by Specialists. (Prepared by the United 8tates Department ot Agriculture.) Bread Is the largest single Item of food in the diet of the great majority of people, and of the staple foods probably no other can be so easily spoiled in the preparation. Some women, after a few failures In bread making, give up the attempt and buy their bread. Very many of us are partial to home-made loaf. In many localities It Is necessary to bake bread at home, in others it is a convenience, and in very many It is done from choice. It is aot difficult to make good bread, and It is worth while to learn to do so. Some of the, points which cause failure in bread making are the wrong choice of materials and utensils; lack of absolute cleanliness; carelessness In measuring the ingredients; poor methods of mixing and molding and improper care of the dough while it is rising; also wrong care of the bread while It Is baking; or wrong care of the loaves after they are taken from the oven. The necessary materials for bread making are flour, water, salt, and yeast. The materials occasionally used are milk, sugar, and fat. I Good wheat bread can be made by a 'number of processes. Three recommended by the United States department of agriculture food specialists follow: Short or Straight-Dough Process. S cups lukewarm *4 cup liquid yeast, milk, water or a 2 teaspoons salt, mixture of the two. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 cake compressed Fat, if used, 2 tableyeast, or spoons or leas. cups lukewarm 6 cups or S pints milk, water or a sifted flour. . mixture of the two. Original bulk of dough, 1 quart; bulk when ready to be made into loaves, 2ft to 3 quarts. This will make 2 loaves. Boll the water or scald the milk. Put the sugar and salt (and fat, If used) into a mixing bowl. Pour the hot liquid over It and allow It to become lukewarm. Mix the yeast with a little of the lukewarm liquid and add It to the rest of the liquid. If convenient, set this aside In a warm place, not over 86 degress Fahrenheit, for 1 hour; if not convenient to set it aside, add the flour at once, putting in a little at a time and kneading until the dough is of such consistency that it sticks neither to the bowl nor to the hands.

There are a number of commercial products designed as egg substitutes, some of which approach eggs in composition much more nearly than others. Of these products, some .are fairly well known to housekeepers while others are used chiefly in commercial baking and for similar purposes. The various kinds differ much in composition, some being much more like eggs in protein content and energy value than others. In judging such products one should not rely upon appearance. Yellow color does not necessarily indicate other egg yolk characteristics. Some of these egg substitutes, at least, are manufactured from skim milk and are said to contain milk casein and albumin mixed with a little flour. Such a product is evidently rich in protein. Other egg substitutes have been devised which consist of mixtures of animal or vegetable fats, albumin, and starch or flour. Goods have also been marketed for .use as egg substitutes which contain little or no albumin, but which are apparently made up quite largely of starch, colored more or less with some yellow substance. They are commonly advertised for making custards and puddings similar in appearance to those in which fresh eggs are used. If the housekeeper wishes to use them a bath and lunch ready at home. After his bath, Theodore sat down to the bountiful lunch and chat with Dick and Mrs-Dick. Dick kept the conversational ball bounding. "Friday night's the faculty reception, Ted.

When the cow slept I slept; but If the cow passed a restless night I had all the opportunity I needed to think over my past sins and future plans.

"After the signing of the armistice the British authorities established a postal airplane service to Cologne, and in connection with this service systematic use was made of wireless telephony, says the Halifax Morning Chronicle. Wireless telephone stations were placed on the ground at distances of fifty miles from each other, and with the use of quite small sets were able to transmit messages to aircraft up to thirty miles away. They could also receive from the air to about fifty miles. Frequently these distances were exceeded and an airplane was in communication at one and the same time with three stations. Considering the small size of the apparatus employed these were remarkable resultsv and testify to the rapid progress made by the British air service since the first trials of wireless The simplest salads are often th» most appetizing apd elegant.

A good oil, nutty and sweet In flavor, is essential, then a good flavoied vinegar, using one part of vinegar to three or four of oil, salt and cayenne to taste, with always a teaspoonful or less of powdered sugar to a half capful of the dressing. The sugar seems to soften and blend the flavors. The addition of onion juice, catsup, tabasco, Worcestershire and other sauces are all good, but not all used In the same dressing.

THE PICNIC LUIKIM, The glorious, season for Outdoor r meals Is usually enjoyed by all natnre lovers. The all- Important thing after yon have arrived Is "what to have to eat." A picnic Innch. to be a success, should be well prepared, carefully packed, with each item of food so wrapped that the fingers need not be soiled therewith. Small rolls or buns may be hollowed out and a salad, not too moist, used to fill them, then the small bit cut off the top, pressed back, protects the salad, and the whole may be eaten from the fingers without soiling them. Pork and beans may be carried In the cans, heated in hot water and they are ready to serve. Roasting potatoes in a good fire and toasting frankfurts to go with the potatoes produce a dish very popular with picnic parties. There are so many kinds of sandwiches which may be served that it Is needless to mention the value of a good sandwich. The bread should be cut In uniform slices and the filling spread evenly. Meat, If sliced, should be sliced very thin. Butter to be used on sandwiches should be creamed and may be seasoned with chopped mint, capers or ketchup, or mustard may beadded to give flavor and variety. Each sandwich should be carefully wrapped In waxed paper, to preserve,. It and keep flavors from mixing In the lnnch basket. • Little cakes or pieces of cake, If wrapped, may be eaten from the paper without coming in contact with the Angers. * For drinks, there Is always the universally favorite coffee. Made In an open kettle and strained into a hot pot to pour, there is no beverage which takes its place. Grape juice, orange Juice, lemon Juice, may all be used In the making of good cooling drinks--the Ice carried along to serve with the drinks. When lemonade Is used It may be made, sweetened and ready to add the, cold water. Carried In a fruit c,in tightly sealed it is a most convenient drink. . Appropriate salads may be carried In a Mason Jar and small paper cups used to serve them.. Small sponge cakes may be carried carefully and a small jar of cream to whip.
