There had still been no formal announcement that "Lorraine was to become the sec- ond Mrs. Davis but the charmer gave increasing indication of "be- longing" around the house. She had "just dropped in".at break. fast time because early sunshine had awakened her at the inn at which she was stopping. The coffee incident was- sheer accident. Its outstanding result was a passage at arms between Lorraine and Angela when latter "insisted that Kathleen's apology had to be taken at its face value, That Kathleen meant to do something to save her father and | herself from Miss Bennett's ma- "chinations was apparent. Angela, quite naturally, hér first approach, "What are we going to do about it?" the -youngster asked when her father, still singing was "rounds," -left-the house with the siren who had enticed him. "Kathleen, your father's mar- riage doesn't concern me in the least," Angela replied. _ "It does if you love him," was © Kathleen's * childishly direct ans- wer, "But I couldn't be concerned in this, even if I did love him--and I've told you a dozen times that's nonsense," said Angela. - "Isa't love worth fighting for?" contended. *"Kathleen, women cannot chase men!" Angela replied with grow- ing exasperation, "Why not? Men chase women. Why is it dfiferent?" persisted the twelve-year-old. ~"Some day you'll learn why," she answered patiently. - "But 1 want to know now," Kathleen pressed." "How can chil- dren get educated if grown-ups stop talking just before they say anything worth listening to?" - This, at breakfast time -- and at luncheon, another session at _a_ doctor of abnormal psychology had no real answers for the twelve-year-old's questions on a subject which completely filled her mind -- and her heart, And Kathleen didn't pull her punches 'when she had her oppon- -"You advise, then," she said on one occasion, "that I make a lot of friends in school, - collect postage stamps, forget father and Lorraine--and maybe I ought to learn to play the trombone!" Angela got the feeling that Kathleen had a lot of better ideas of her own-and had others, per- haps more: disinterested than she, to whom she might go. for help, Angela, : felt, too, that she was be- ing defeated on all fronts. * She took her own troubles, so closely Kathleen's, to Dr. Montague Foster, the éminent gentleman .who had placed her in the Davis household. He didn't have to use much of his psychi- atric knowledge to worm out of her the bold confession that she - had fallen in loye with Kathleen' 8 father, - « Kathleen's "regular Saturday afternoon visits to the little an. tique shop in the village had been interrupted.

She probably couldn't' have told anyone why she allowed the hairdresser to change her coiffure to one strik- ingly more suited to her type of" beauty. . "Oh, Angel, you look gorge: ous?' was Kathleen's greeting when she saw the change, "You've had your hair done différently! Oh, boy ---- wait until father sces you like that! And will Miss Lor- raine Bennett's eyes bug out!"

"When Miss Bennett and I are married in the fall 'we'll want to travel a' great deal -- and I am sure you can make Kathleen perfectly happy.'

She only stepped up what she had told this. selfish, neglect- ful father within the first week of her professional stay in his liome, "Mr. Davis," she "Wega in words that generated their own heat, your proposal is disgusting.

The . world's = best 'authorities agree that you should eat every day the necessary amounts 'of "protective foods." These foods are milk and milk products, po- tatoes and other vegetables, whole wheat grain breads and cereals, raw fruits and canned tomatoes, eggs, meat and fish, When there is not much money to spend for food, first on the shopping list should be milk or cheese, then potatoes, and whole grain products (rolled oats, rolled wheat, and whole wheat bread.) Use foods in season, when the ' price is lowest. When fresh vege- tables are high in price, buy can- ned vegetables particularly toma- toes. Cheese may replace some of the milk, using one ounce of Canadian Cheese in place of one glass of milk, It might be wise now to take an inventory of our weekly menus, to-check up on their nu- _ tritional values. A breakfast menu of the quickly-snatched rolls and coffee type, should be erased from any well balanced diet. Start breakfast with the day's quota of raw fruit, vegetable, to- mato or orange juice; if tomato - juice is used (it may be cheaper) _ two glasses will be necessary to «btain the required amount of vitamins, The next course of your break- fast should be some type of cereal with milk, cooked cereal prefer- ably in winter. The beverage should be a milk one --<-cocoa and hot chocolate are high in nutri- tional value and help ptepare an adult as well as the child for a difficult day.

'This Pig Foiled "Big Bad Wolf" Scotsman Pursues Pig and Captures Germans and Stores of Food A tale of fantastic events in the Libyan desert and KSW a band of indignant Scotsmen garnered a fortune in food and supplies and captured nearly 200 German prisoners was told recently. A Scottish Black Watch ser- geant was doing a bit of quiet foraging in an abandoned Ger- man camp far behind the present desert front when he saw and went after a pig. Barely had the chase begun when bullets whizzed around his head. He saw some Germans and fired back. Then out of the de- sert suddenly appeared a British | major and two -captains--prison- ers of the Germans who broke away when They veturned to the camp- and spread the word. A battalion of Scotsmen went out to mop up the outfit. They _ were shot up pretty badly recent- ly by just such a band of Ger- mans. This time the sergeant was ac- companied by an armored car, trucks full of soldiers, machine- gun cars. and everything mneces- sary for an effective clean-up. A small band of Germans was discovered behind sand dunes along the Mediterrancan shore. They returned a few shots and then began surrendering. Germans Bobbed Up i Germans bobbed from behind "other dunes until 90 had appear- ed. - A roving South African jour- nalist surprised nine Germans hid- ing in a cave. They surrendered -- although he was armed only with a camera, Upwards of 200 Germans were before the roundup ended. : Then the Scots stumbled upon a treasure trove of supplies in trucks, in eaves, under tents and spread out on the ground---ev- erything from pistols to food and portable typewriters. There. were cases of fruit in tins, and choco- late. The scope of German conquests was measured in part by Norwe- gian fish, Yugoslav sausages and- French sauces. There was a surprise of American tinned fods--prob- ably from huge stores of sup- plies, partly of American origin, "which were captured in Flanders, What -happened-to the pig that started all of this still isn't, quite clear.
