COOOOOCOOOOCXDOOOOOOCOOOC KITCHEN CUPBOARD By NELLIE MAXWELL )COCXXXXXXXXXXXIOCCOOOOO Culinary, Other Hints AN OLD fishermen said If yon want to eat fish without be ing bothered with tbe bones, clean them and put them throngh the meat grinder, mak.i In small cake and fry In butter. lt' worth try ing. When cream refuse to whip, with DO vlscogen handy, add the white of an egg and chill, then whip. Chocolate sauce served with boiled rice 1 a dish especially good, and well liked by all chocolate lover. Sprinkle salt on any bolled-over food on stove or In oven; It will destroy tbe odor. Add a teaspoonful of sngtir to the rinsing water need to rinse fine linens and organdies, lac collar and cuffs. It stiffen slightly and gives a texture Ilk new. When bsklng fish wlthont a roast ing rack, plnce two strips of cheese cloth In the pnn, letting them com up well on the sides of the psn. With these the flsb can be easily removed to a hot platter without breaking. When the fur piece Is soiled Clean It with corn nient dampened with toilet water. The alcohol cleans tbe fur and leaves a pleasant odor. Cleaning the Icebox on Friday will Insure the using up of food and get ting ready for the Sunday meal with less wnste. Grease the oven door with un snlted lard; Ihl la good for any door hinge that do not work easily, but a drop of machine oil will do a well. Always tise new rubbers when running.

Green foods should be serred freely all th year. In the soring there Is such a variety that one may uav something different each day of tbe week. THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW "But you cannot do Paul any good, Cleo, ana you'll only har row up your own feelings," said Chick. "But don't you think I might at least walk very soitly up to his bedside? Do you think it would hurt him to feel my kisa on his forehead? Oh, it would be a little kiss, Just a touch of my lips. Even if he isn't talking, perhaps in l)is heart he's wondering why I'm not near. Paul wanted to see me. He asked the doctor tor me repeatedly. When I came to the hospital Just after he had been brought there he was very tender toward me, and he forgave me." "Of course he did, Cleo; I know that. If be hadn't forgiven you, he would not have told the doctor that he fell and hurt his own head. He' wanted to save you from any trouble." "Well, I expect I'll have enough trouble when his father and mother get here. They'll ask all sorts of questions and the first thing I know I'll tell them everything. Then look out for fireworks." "You must not tell them It woudn't be right. Paul woudn't want you to. If you think you're going to do any such thing I shall tell Major Stetter to keep Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong out of the room." "Oh, I don't mind Mr. "Arm strong so much I think he would understand. Hut Mrs. Armstrong alwaya hated me. She blamed me for our runaway match." I couldn't help smiling, even in my trouble as I thought of how she had told around Pasadena that I was trying to catch Paul, while my mother was saying to every one that Paul was taking advantage of my youth to marry into our family. Then again the specter lifted its gory head.. "Whether I tell them or not. Chick, Mrs. Armstrong will prob ably be the first to have me ar rested if anything happen to my husband. "Oh, Chick, I'm afraid, and awfully sorry. I guess I'm sorry for everything I've ever done. I don't think 1 ve ever done any thing right. It's all been such a mistake from the time 1 was born. "Chick, go and ask the doctor if I cannot go in and see Paul. 1 must tea him. What do you think I'm made ot to lie here and know what Is going on in that room up stairs; 1 can't do it. Chick. I can't do it. Whatever I've done done, I'm Paul's wife, you know, and I should be with him at thia time." Whatever I've done, I'm Paul' wife, you know, and I should be with him at thia time." I think Chick thought I was hysterical and I guesa I was, for it Is only now after Chick has told me about It, that I can re member In the least what I said to him that morning. He told ma afterward that he left the room presumably in search of the doc tor, because he could see I was working myself up io a point where 1 would go all tb pieces, "I couldn't help being tympalh tic with you," he explained later, "and it wasn't sympathy you neod ed juat at that moment. I told you I would go and bring back Major Stetter, which was a white lie, my dear, for I knew the doc tor would not let you see your husband for fear he might try to talk to you. "I was not allowed to talk to Paul," said Chick, "and he didn't even know I was in town. After I left you, Cleo, I went directly to be prepared for the operation." "And 1 waited, and waited, and waited," I interrupted. "I was mad with anxiety and remorse. I wanted the time to pass quickly, and yet it seemed to crawl on leaded feet. I raised my waver ing arms to heaven and prayed that Paul would recover." At last I could stand It no longer. After Chick left I re member, I rang my bell furiously and after what seemed to be an Interminable time, a nurse came not the one who had been with me the night before, but a tall, angular, stern-faced woman who did not approve of me, 1 was sure. When I asked her, dear diary, bow Paul was, she answered prim ly that Lieutenant Armstrong was undergoing blood translusion and no one could tell Just what the result would be for a while. She said this as calmly as though I Were not bis wife. I wanted to scream. I wanted to shake her out of her placidity. I wanted to clutch ber arm and hold it tight until she was black and blue. I don't know exactly why, or what I thought I was going to do, but I got out ot bed hastily, and started toward tbe door. "Here, here, where are you go ing, Mrs. Armstrong?" At laat I had shaken ber out ot her quiet impersonality. "Don't touch me. Don't touch me. I'm going to my husband. I'm not going to stay here a min ute longer. I can'l understatnd why you're all In league against me. I'm going, I tell you, I'm going." I jerked myself away from her restraining hands. Tomorrow: Tho Valley of the Shadow.
