s r -4> : TftBLEJflLSS "^ Smooth, Glossy ^ Brown Gravy Gravy can make or mar a cook's " reputation, just as it can make or ».. mar a meal. Actually, too, the achievement of a rich, velvety pro- "^ duct is quite a simple feat. For (ravy makers, however, who " aren't up to all the tricks of the _ trade, the Consumer Section of the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture offers two rules, which, if â- * followed will result in glossy " jravy, free-from-lumps, the pride of any housewife. Two Rules Rule nuniLcr one deals with the "^ proper blending of the flour and '' fat They should be well blended, ^. and the flour browned before the liquid is added. Remember . . . the gravy won't brown after the •~ Eqnid is added. j^. Rule number two is concerned with adding _ and blending the "^ fiquid. It may be water, meat or "^ chicken stock, liquor from canned ^ »T cooked vegetables, milk or to- j„ mato juice. Whatever it is, the Hquid should be cold when added *â-  to the fat-flour mixture. Also, it Ov should be added gradually and the â-  mixture stirred constantly during the operation. ^ Gravy should not be made too * far in advance of serving, other- ^ wise it will dry out, become thick and pasty and form a scum on top *" which is difficult to blend back «. smoothly into the gravy. For late- to-dinncr members of the family, fj'keep the gravy hot in the top of ♦- • double boiler, closely covered. •y- •t.

"It's goodby," he said firmly. *I won't take j'ou. At least, I'm man enough not to ruin your life â€" because I love vou. It's goodby, -Pam!" She could not speak; she let him go, but she stood still, tears blinding her. He would not take htr to fight his battle, there was a tumult in her heart, she wanted to run after him to tell him she would face anything for him, but he didn't want her to go! The hot blood rushed to her face; then »he remembered the anguish in his eyes â€" and he was goingi She stood holding her breath, listening to his footsteps going away down the long hall and, at last, the closing of the door. If there was something that she could do; wasn't there some- thing? Suddenly her heart leaped â€" the jade god! She would make Burleson tell her everything he knew. She went softly across the hall. She wanted to be sure that Lan- don had gone before she went back to the library. There was a stir in the rooms beyond and then Aunt Lynn's voice, cold and crisp, freezing someone out. Pam hid herself from them, trying to alip by, but she could not shut her ears. "I'm sorry. I knew your mother, Archie," Mrs. Lynn said icily, "but I can't pardon this." She was freezing Landon outl He mumbled something about Teddv Banks, and not being him- self. ' "If you mean you'd been drink- ing â€" that only makes it worse," she replied sharply. "As for Banks â€" you know what I think! I told the servants long ago not to ad- mit him again." "And now I'm in for that, too, I suppose!" Landon cried. "When I tried to undo it, too," ""ifou'll have to pardon a wom- an who knew your mother, for speaking the truth, .A.rchie," she retorted suavely. "You see, I'm not sure that your way of undo- ing it was â€" much better!" He stammered more apologies ami her icy voice trickled back at him "He's done!" Pam thought. ".'\nd I'm glad of itâ€"the coward!" Then Pam slipper past that cur- tain arch and found the little door in the corner; it opened into the library beside the fireplace. It was still in there; her first tliought was that there was no one in the room; the shades had not been drawn; a street-lamp garished out- side, the fire on the heartli was low. Then, beyond the shaded lamp, she saw the outline of her uncle's gray head. She thought he was asleep. his eyes were closed, the red streak had faded into ashen gray, he looked ill. It seemed impossible that he could be asleep after all that violence! She saw the scattered bits oi pol- islied jade on the floor, shattered like poor Mark's hope of freedom long ago. She stooped soft!,, and began to pick up the fragments. She found the head unhurt. green beard and all, and the distorted mouth grined up at her. She had it in her hand when she lifted her eyes again and found Burle- son watching her. "Throw that thing away, Pam!" he said sharply. But she did not; she came near- er, holding out her pink palm with the green head in it. "L'ncle Herbert, Mark's uncle brought that when they were to- gether tor the last time; brought it for you, and he had it when Mark saw him last. He gave it t(- you afterwards," she paused, letting her words sink in, but he si.'id nothing, only looked intently at her. "Don't you see?" she pleaded, "he gave it to you after Mark left him. He was killed after that. You can clear Mark, if you will!" "Oh. can I?" his gray lined face was cruel when he twisted his lips like that! The girl looked steadily at him with the eyes of youth. "Yes, you can! You must â€" " She came near- er. "Uncle Herbert, try to re- member â€" you must! He can't be left like thisâ€" he didn't do it!" • • * Burleson returned her look steadily, his grayness seemeil to increase, for the tempest of his anger had left him weak. "\VTiy are you to sure h'' didn't do it?" he asked raspingly. She broke at that, suddenly childish and forlorn. "I know â€" I love him!" He was dumfounded. "Extra- ordinary!" he said, after a moment. "Tfou young girls now â€" good Lord, what would your grandmothers have said." "TVho cares?" Pam stormed. "We're young â€" youth has a right to live!" "And age has to clear out, eh?" his face twisted again into his mocking smile. "If it stands in the way of life â€" yes!" she cried cruely. "Think of all Mark's lost â€" fifteen years of youth! It's cruel, it's wicked. Uncle Herbert, you must have known something: there was some- one else; why didn't you sav so?" He considered her. his head sunk l-etween his thin high shoulders. She was so splendidly young and so cruel in her youth. "Suppose I suspected." he said slowly, "suppose I didn't know, but if I'd said a word it would have pulled down a family, a good wife. sons or daughters, and proved nothing â€" perhaps!" "Then you did suspect!" she cried. "You did, and you let Mark go â€" for some old sinner in high place!" "I didn't say that; I said, 'sup- pose'." "You meant it! Was any old man worth Mark's splendid youth, L^ncle? He couldn't be!" "Perhaps his pcop'.' were. Tliink of the disgiace." "Think of it? Yes!" she cried, flinging the little green head down, "think of what lie's got to face- Mark! He won't let me face it with him. He refuses to let me do it." "Y"ou mean you asked thisâ€" this ex-convict to marry vou, Pam?'' he cried, sitting up in his chair.

Free men will plough the fertile fields; The thunder of the guns be dumb. Once more will happy children play And sleep, untroubled, safe in bed; No terror fly by night or day! No fear of bombers overhead! Yet, grass will grow on countless graves, Marked by plain crosses row on row â€" On men who gave their very all. That love and beauty we might know. And. though the bells of peace may ring â€" Still, mangled bodies, wracked with pain. And sightless eyes, will dumbly plead â€" "Let not cur torment be in vain." In unknown places, noisome, dark. In swamps, in sands, in restless sea, Lie men who sacrified life's chance â€" That you and I might still be free. * * • What kind of world will we then make â€" Full of ideals for which they died? Or, will we grow itiff-necked again, In hatred, greed and haughty pride? Will trade and conquest be our God? Will we still seek the highest seat? Then surely war will scourge once more And make destruction all complete. Shall we not bravely see that they, Our flesh and blood, strove not in vain. And build a world on right, not might, When bells of peace ring out again? â€" T. B. Gleavf.

Clarke Last Thursday my baby chicks were supposed to arrive on the morning train. I met the train and wait<d eargeriy near the baggage car â€" but alas there were no little chicks. I could hardly believe it ... I thought the trainman must have, overlooked them. However the train moved on, and I, per- force, went home, minus the chicks. Naturaly I thought the shipper had missed the train and that !:c would either phone or deliver them in p«rson. Xoon came anj there were no chickens and no telephone call. So then I called "long distance" myself. The hatchery-man would hardly believe me when I said the little biddies had not arrived. "But I took them to the station at si-i o'clock this morning," he said. "Did you put them on the train jourself?" I inquired. "Well, no, but I gave them to the shipping agent. If you will wait a minute I will make inquiries and ring you back." In a short while that is what he did â€" and told me the chickens had been shipped all right but on the wrong train! They had gone to To- ronto. In a'l probability they would be sent dowp on "the Peanut' that evening. My poor little chicles â€" shut up in boxes and shunted around from one place to another. What will they be like when I get them, I won- dered. « * * .At 7.30 I was at the station again .- . . and this time, so were the chickens. I opened the box with considerable trepidation and found not dead and dying chicks â€" but 150 lively, chipping little balls of black fluff, as warm and happy as you please. Joy riding must have agreed with them as 1 have since lost only two. Kow. of course, 1 spend quite a lot of time running back and forth t< the brooder house â€" mainly to see that it doesr."t get too hot. The 'sun is so warm and bright these early spring days.
