Eyes For The Dark por Those Warm-Weather Lunches The Story Of A Dog By Paula Norton Hilda, a Belgian 8 he par d dog tell her own story. From puppy hood she was trained to be a Sceing-Eyc do;. When a suteen-year-old blind yi rl no mcd VUi re, ca me to the Foundation, Hilda was given over to her to be her guide through all her dark days. in Clare's home there were two brothers, Al and Buddy. Buddy was just the usual small boy, but 'Al, a y nun ij man. was a trial and winy to his family. Hilda liked Al for his kindness to her, but she was a little worried when he took her for a walk. She felt she brlongcd to Clare alone and Al was a young man who smcllcd of trouble and idleness. Chapter 8 IT WAS a strange experience to be walking along the street with Al, because, you see, I had never walked with anyone who was not blind, and I found that guiding the ' way through the traffic was so much a part of me I could not let Al do the leading. "Say." he laughed at the first crossing, "you don't need to tell me when to cross the street. I know." Then he dragged me unwill ingly through a maze of traffic, he dodged and ducked to the other side. So many cars missed us by so narrow a margin I was shaking like a leaf. I decided right then that some people didn't have as much sense as some dogs. Suddenly we stopped and Al turned into a doorway. "Come on, old girl," he said, "and meet my friends." The place proved to be a pool hall and in the smoky room I , -t ( " '. y . made out many strange faces and stranger smells. I felt choked and wanted to turn and run for home and Clare. Al was greeted with shouts of "Some dog you got there, Al." "Where'd you get the pooch?" "Did anybody see you get it?" A fot dark man and two com panions came over to us, and looked at me closely. Al explained that I was a See-ing-Eye dog and gave them some idea of my duties. "A trained dog, eh?" said the fat man, shifting a well chewed cigar in his fat mouth. I did not like him, nor anything about bim. He had an evil smell. I moved away from him and closer to Al. The man turned to his two companions then and they whis pered together. Al was watching a game at one. of the green tables. The group of three kept look ing at Al, then at me. I felt there was a plot in their hearts that concerned me, and I wished myself far away. I started edging toward the door. I would have bnited, Al or no Al, but suddenly the fat man said. "Get the dog, Al. and come in the back room." There was a dirty round table In the backroom. There were beer mugs and a scattered deck of cards. "Tie the hound to a chair there, Al," ordered the fat man. "Draw up a chair. I wanna talk to you." Menu Of By Joan ARE you one of those who have considered sweetbreads too tricky a delicacy to be pre pared in your own home? If so. you are due for a pleasant sur prise, because they really are not difficult, and thev are as nutri tious and digestible as they are good. Here is an appetizing, sum mery menu built around sweet bread pates. You might use this menu for a company luncheon or a buffet supper. Fruit Pirkles Olives Stuffed Celery Sweetbread Pates. Green Pras uHih Pimiento Cucumber Boat Salad, Thin Swedish Wafers lee Cream With Crushed Strawberries To prepare the sweetbreads, soak one pair of sweetbreads in cold water 1 hour, then drop them Into boiling water contain ing 1 teaspoon salt and 1 table- "Sure," said Al. He didn't seem at all cheerful. In fact, I saw he was nervous, now, shut off here with these three serious men. "All right, kid," the man said as soon as the group was settled. "I'll come to the point." Al shifted in his chair, and his Angers shook when he lit a cigar ette. "You gotta gamblin' debt here . . . and it ain't no chicken-feed neither. As I told you last night, I ain't waitin' for it. Whatta ya got to say?" Al looked at the ugly faces staring at him, waiting for his answer. After a long time he said, "I haven't the money. I been trying to figure how I would get It, honest I have. But I .can't. I can't, I tell you." His voice shook. He sounded so scared the hair rose on my neck. I FELT trouble. "Okay," said the fat one, "what's the dog worth? Much?" I shook in every muscle. My heart pounded with fear, fear for Clare more than for myself. Al jumped to his feet. The fat man bawled, "Sit down!" "But, but," stammered Al. "I can't let you have Hilda. She's my sister's dog. Honest she is . . . and . . . and . . . my sister's blind." "Yeah! Well, ain't that too bad," and the fat man grinned. Al sank back in his chair. "Please Steve, please," he begged. I was ashamed of his weakness. I could understand now why Clare and her parents worried about him. They had cause to worry. "Well, that's the way it is. kid," the fat man went on." You leave the dog here. If you get the money in twenty-four hours, okay. If you don't, that's your hard luck." Al still sat staring, frightened and stammering. The men stood up. My heart was lead within me. "All right, get goin', kid. You got some hustlin' to do if you're gonna raise that dough." Al got up and walked slowly, shamefacedly ' toward me. He stooped and patted my head. I turned away. I was not grateful for what he had done to me . . . and Clare. "I'm sorry, Hilda. I didn't mean THIS to happen," he said. "Get goin',' ordered Steve. Al walked slowly out through the door, and it clicked behind him. I turned and sized up my new keeper. He sized me up, too. "I wonder if these police dogs are hard to handle?" Steve asked. He scowled at me and looked ready to reach for a chair If 1 made a move to attack. "Naw," the taller of the two men said from the safety of the far side of the table. "No dog that takes care of a blind kid is tough." "She'd better NOT be tough," snnrlcd Steve. "I got somethin' that'll tame her if she asks for it." He pulled a little black club from his hip pocket and reached for my leash . . . "Open the cellar door, Charlie," he said. (Continued next week.)

A Charmingly 'Arranged Tabic Set With Waffle Iron, Surrounded By Juice and a Dash of Strawberry Jam To Give Added Zest to the Summer Days, It's Unsurpassed. Not Robots, But Electrical Servants Such As Toasters, Sandwich Grills And Waffle These Modern Liberators Have Greatly Work And Given Her More Leisure SUFFRAGE brought freedom and equal rights for women, but "mere" man liberated women from kitchen drudgery. Liberty for the homemaker is not a dream. When man invented the vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, washing machine, these electrical servants freed her from drudgery. These electrical servants have freed women from the back-break-. ing washboard, the old fashioned, strenuous and dust-raising method of sweeping. Instead of standing over a hot stove all day preparing the family meals, the electrical stove may be set to a certain tem perature, and the family meal proceeds to cook while mother at tends her club meeting or bridge party. These "liberators" have not only lessened woman's work but have brought more leisure to spend with her family and friends. Never before have science, in vention and, industry combined to pour such lavish treasure into the home. Women are realizing this as never before, and are seeking all those things that make Tips For Your Kitchen MIX all your spices together first, before you add them to a batter you'll find it will give a much better blended flavor. Some people like to make up and keep on hand a blend of their favorite spices which they use for cookies and gingerbreads and spice cakes. If recipe calls for melted short ening, melt It over hot water and then measure it after it's been melted not before. And use care ful, level measurements. In most cakes and quick breads, solid shortenings can be used in terchangeably, although butter gives the finest flavor. If you're using an unsaltcd shortening, you may want to add more salt. Don't try to serve a sponge roll as soon as it is made. Let the tightly wrapped cake coot on a cake rack, seam down. Then it will stay rolled and cut nicely when cool. Sponge rolls with Jelly filling are rolled while they're hot, but if you use a cooked filling which contains whipped cream, the cake should cool Blight ly before you roll it With an all-whipped-cream filling, the cake must be cold.

All the appliances arc so much better looking, real objects d'art. So much simpler to operate so much easier to keep clean. There are so many new automatic de vices for lightening labors tak ing the hitches and annoyances out of housework. They have improved on the practical side, too. The new toaster, sandwich grill, wallle irons, casseroles and food mixers all go about their duties in a new manner and some serve a double duty. And that new chrome finish will last till doomsday without chipping or peeling.

Get your glasses and covers ready before you start to make your jam or jelly. Always wash them first in hot soapy water, then scald them well, and let them drain on a folded dish towel. They won't need wiping. Don't let your jam cupboard grow monotonous. Give it variety by using the same fruit in differ ent ways or by trying new com binations of two or more fruits. To cut marshmallow and dried fruits such as raisins, dates, etc., cut with floured scissors. To prevent nuts and fruits from sinking in cake, heat before roll ing in flour and adding to cake batter. To prevent filling from soaking In pie crust, dust over bottom crust with a mixture of flour and sugar before adding fruit or other filling.

BEN IN FRANCE WHILE Georgo Washington was struggling with near tragedy at Valley Forge, a letter came that cheered the lonely man. It was from Benjamin Franklin and had -been mailed from Paris, France. Yes, good old Ben had gone over to ask aid and assistance from France that America might win her freedom from England. In France. Franklin was a character welcome In any circle, and most especially was his na tural humor sought in the draw ing rooms of the bored upper classos. These people of Influence were the very people that Franklin needed. They could help him to assist his poor American army. Just by being himself, by saying the very witty things in their fancy drawing rooms that he would have said In his American print shop, he fascinated the French. In less than a month everyone knew and quoted his backwoods philosophy. He became the rnge of France. Meanwhile, back In America a young Bostonian set out for France to tell Franklin that a new victory was won. Burgoyne's entire army had been captured, and now almost all the territory of the north was in the Revolu tionists' hands. In four days the French capital HELP FROM ABROAD LAFAYETTE, that romantic Frenchman, was left an or phan at the age of 13, but unlike many orphans, his heritage was a great one. A long and illustri ous name and vast wealth were his. When this young Frenchman attained the age of 19 he was thrilled with the exciting stories ho heard about the American Revolution. It all sounded glam orous and daring. The cause was a worthy one, too, so the rich young Lafayette (at this time an officer In the French Dragoons) sneaked off to America and pre sented himself to the rebel forces and was duly made a major-general in the American army. Lafayette soon met General Washington, and he made a roal Impression. He was young, of course, and though he wouldn't, at 10, bring any great military value to the army of the United States, the publicity the Ameri can Revolution derived from the word of this famous French name joining its ranks was something. Soon all of Europe was buzzing about this battle for freedom that had even caught the attention and support of a member of one of their own first families. Then a certain Baron von Steu ben, who had been a general with Frederick the Great, came rush ing to our shores and was made a drill-master In the army of the States. He soon had the badly Redskin By R. Rcmlow Harris BLUE BIRD'S PAPOOSE YOU say my desert home is bare, and what is there to see? And that I have a lonely life with none to play with me. My mama shows me how to weave and to majte pots of clay, Or maybe I help mind the sheep, there's much to do all day. Sometime we sit in shade to rest, or hide and watch um road, And look as cars all hurry on with funny pale face load. Papoose and I havo pleasant time, we sit, we think, we walk, My papoose doll she ride my back, she look but she no talk. Sometime we wander far from home, but wo keep it in sight, For mama say If go too far, we no get homo by night, And after dark bad spirits hunt, old persons say they do, But we are both asleep by dark, SO maybe that not true Tho moccasin that holds my doll, my grandpa used to wear. But he say, "Papoose necdum bed, small baby must have care." So papoose dell goes where 1 go, no troubles on um mtnd, I keep um eyes on things In front, doll watch um trail behind. heard this news, and Ben Frank lin was called to the offices of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. France now recognized the United States of America as such . . . independent of England. Franklin was still to remain in Europe. His advice was sought and taken. He remained seven years in Europe. He bought sup plies for America, settled quar rels, and talked other nations into commercial deals that were of great value to his country. He was Indeed a good-will ambassa dor. He sought very little for him self; honor and esteem he had a-plenty. In the presence of most of the famous men of France, Voltaire embraced him. The old philosopher felt this alone was reward for the long days of homesickness and exile. FORGET-ME-NOT THE forget-me-not is called by that name because Henry IV of England upon taking this flower as his emblem', also took "Kemcmbcr me" as his motto. The flower and tho motto were recognized as belonging to the same king, and the forget-me-not soon became its name. FLYING TOYS TTHE first merchandise to fly over the ocean was a package of toys on the dirigible ZR-3. drilled soldiers as snappy as you'd wish to see. Another German, Baron Jean do , Kalt, Joined the American forces as well, as did the Polish Kosciuszko and Count Pulaski. Yes . , . sympathy for the rebel cause was running high in Eu rope. This was a logical time for America to ask financial aid and a deal was mado with the mer chants of Amsterdam. Tho Dutch were willing and anxious to keep the deal secret. Unfortunately the document of agreement was dis covered by the English when they captured Henry Laurens while he was on his way to Amsterdam. England then declared war on Holland. Now the finances of the American states were at a hope lessly low ebb, and when the Dutch Republic put seven million dollars at the disposal of tho States, it was truly a lifesavor. Now, this seemingly generous act was not just a case of simple big-heartcdncss. The Dutch mer chants who raised the loan be lieved such a gesture was a good business proposition. When the war was over, they felt they would naturally have a big cut Into commercial trade with America. It is interesting to note that this Dutch money was sent to General George Washington and not to Congress. Congress had al most driven the American armies to mutinous despair already with their neglect. Now once more Washington could equip his men and spur them on and on in Ui great battle for freedom.
