; THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL', PORTLAND, SUNDAY . MORNING, 'JUNE - "11. 1922. - i A if Married By Virginia Xfynch Maxwell. CHARLOTTE tip-toed toward Billy's office as h closed 4h outer door behind her. fThe glass topped panel that di vided It from tie spacious room bore his name In neir. 'shining, gilt letters. A little thrill of pride ran through her. 6he saw the door was closed. Perhaps Billy had a caller. She would wait a moment before open Ing the door cautiously. Not hearing sound coming from within, Charlotte turned the knob easily and swung the door to. "Oh," she caught her breath in . disappointment, as she saw Misa Flemming , straightening up Billy's desk, "Isn't Mr. Smith herer Miss Flemmlng smiled. She re membered Mrs. Smith from the erenlng she had dined at her apartment "Mr. Smith Said he'd be back fa a few moments," she replied. "Won't' you make yourself com fortable until he returns?" The girl'jirew out a chair for Charlotte and proceeded with her work. In a moment Miss Hem mirg reached for a dust cloth and began going carefully pTer Billy's desk. "My goodness." Charlotte " ex claimed, as she watched the ex acting manner In which the girl "went over eTerylhing, "you are an efficient housekeeper, aren't youT" There was a note of sarcasm in Charlotte's Toice. But Miss Flem mlng ignored the tone and smiled. "Mr. Smith seems to think so. He's always congratulating me on the way I keep things around tiere. "indeed!" said Charlotte. The door flew open with a Dang and Billy stood looking at the two women, a broad grin spreading across his bronzed features. "Hello!" he said, after a mo ment.' Ke had long since sensed the existing enmity between the two women, and finding them thus was amusing. "Ready T" asked Charlotte, with out prelude. "I'm hungry and I'm ready for a luncheon do luxe." Billy drew a package from his topcoat pocket. It was a two-pound box of chocolates, wrapped in satin ribbon with a huge pink ro sette on top. "It's yours. Miss Flemmlng," he said, handing her the package with ft smile. "Really? Why, how lucky I am. Thls is a surprise." Cereals in Place of Meat DURING the warmer days it la well to lighten the die by substituting cereals in place of meat. This does npt sound pal atable to most of us, but the wdm an of ingenuity will find innumer able ways of planning Jier dishes ,so that the meat flavor Is not alto gether denied.' y Combining chopped meat with fcereal in some of the-appetizing '"an gratia" or "cream-sauce" dishes is an excellent way to cut down on the heavy .food, besldea giving a splendid opportunity to use up left-overs. Cooked oatmeal is the foundation of one palatable dish, when com bined -with chopped chicken and green peppers. . The cooked and.,, cooled meal Is spread In layers in a " taking dish, alternating with layers of cooked chopped chicken, over which is sprinkled some chopped green peppers. When the baking dish is full pour over v it enough , cream sauce to cover the contents completely. Then spread bread crumbs and a grating of cheese over the top. Bake for twenty minutes, until the : crumbs have browned : and the cheese is well melted. If you have some cold lamb left over - from dinner, it may be stretched into a delicious luncheon dish by dicing the meat, and com bining it with boiled rice and curry. A baking dish is well buttered, then the cold lamb is combined with the cold boiled rice and placed in the dish. Over it is poured a well-sea- -soned sauce. Jt may be, left-over gravy, flavored with curry powder; 'Radio Field NOW that radio is such a prominent topic of the day, -women are beginning to look foward hopefully to radio as a profession. The Government render peace time service for those who want to delve into the mysteries ot radio. , Anyone wishing to learn the Morse code of dots and dashes used in the International Code, may have a course la radio, free of charge. Treasons will be sent by mail, sim ple lessons, so that the student of average education may understand and grasp the principles. Govern ment Instructors, will correct the lessons." ' Information in detail will be sup piled by writing' to -the nearest Army Headquarters. The Govern ment also offers, at IS cents each, a pamphlet which gives an insight Into radio. : )The pamphlet is called : Elementary Principles ot Radio Telegraphy and Telephony Docu fnent No 104.- Address orders to But Happy "Come on, Lottie," cried Bnly, as he swung out with his wife through the outer office and to the, ele rators in the corridor. . . - Charlotte followed him without a word of comment,' Anger and Jealousy burned in her heart. Billy selected a charming nook for luncheon. But the gay deco rations and the unusual atmosphere failed to interest Charlotte, "For goodness' sake, Lottie, what's Che matter?" asked Billy, as he helped himself to a second por tion of the creamed chicken; while Charlotte shook her head In refusal of another helping. "You hayent spoken a word since we left the office. Anything bothering you, dear?" : ' , "Bothering met" replied Char lotte bitterly. "That would be put ting it too mildly. I think your con duct has been perfectly shameful." ; "What? When where? What have 1 done to spoil the Queen's party?.' , "Billy is the occurrence that' usual it doesn't seem out of place?" she asked, tears threatening her Toice. "Is that sort of attention the thing wires are supposed to ex pect and bear! between employers and' their pretty doll-faced stenog raphers?" f "Say, cried Billy in exasperation, as he placed his knife and fork on his plate with an emphatic ges ture, "I'd like to know what's, got -Into your pretty little headr Out with it." "The candy, of course," she ex plained. "Do you think I shall stand for that sort of thing? Dont you think it's Insulting to me to deliberately hand your stenog rapher a twbjpound box of the best chocolates right before my very eyes?" "Behave ;youraelf!" Billy re laxed with a chuckle. "If I didn't think your jealousy was a sign of true love, I'd be tempted to spank you. Why, dearest, the candy belonged to Miss Flamming. She won it on a lottery at the cigar stand In our building. Didn't you hear her say how lucky she was?" "But but you. Why did you bring it to her?" x "Because, Mrs. Prosecuting At torney, I was going down to the cigar stand to get some cigarettes ' and Miss Flemmlng asked me to take down her coupons, -lust for luck." - fc Charlotte's eyes brlghtenedVThen or the sauce may -be made up new. A good sauce forthis lamb dish Is made by Btlrriag a tablespoonful of flour into two cups of water, smoothing down all lumps. Salt, pepper, paprika, onion juice, ketch up and a dash of curry are added when the sauce begins to boil. When sufficiently thick, the sauce is' poured over the lamb and rice combination and the dish set in a quick oven to heat thoroughly. Toast Is served with this dish. Hominy may be boiled, Bet in a mold to cool, then cut into slices and fried like cutlets. A brown gravy is good with this meat substi tute, or, the popular tomato sauce may be served. f Finally ground barley is some times combined with chipped beef for a breakfast dish to take the place of bacon ; or ham. It is quite as nourishing as any of the heavier meat dishes and makes a welcome change at this Season. ' The barley is boiled, in a double boiler, until thick and transparent, usually about one hour. Salted, dried beef is freshened in boiling water for a moment, the water poured off, and the beef slightly dried in a towel. It is then mixed with -the unsweetened barley cereal and served with butter, salt and pepper. , j . .'Almost any I of the cereals may be made up Into delicious fritters. The cereals are boiled first, as "usual. Then -they are allowed to cool gradually.! The ordinary frit ter batter la mixed and the cereal added in place of fruit. Cereal fritters are good, substitutes for meat, even at dinner, it used as a '' side dish where beans or peas form the protein value in place of meat. for Women Superintendent of Documents, Gov ernment Printing Office, Washing ton, D.

It is claimed that ships sever engage women aa . radio operators because in case of accident, - the J radio operator- and captain leave the ship last.

Chicken Mashed How Do THE little details of costume are the finishing touches to the picture. The angle at which a woman wears her hat, the . way she adjusts her veil, the width of her cuffs are some ot the details that make or mar the costume pic ture. - - The hat Should be carefully ad justed. It is a" mistake to draw it xon in slip-shod fashion. Fori the Hat is the one-last word in putting a woman at. ease. X ; If you are planning to wear a sail or this Summer, be sure to select a model that fits the head perfectly. The tailored lines of the sailor must be tailored tomtit the head as Well, else the dapper effect is lost. Pad ding the hatband of the sailor may be resorted to if it seems large. But the hat should be large enough to Slip down almost' to the eyebrows and remain there if the fetching llnes of BPrta tume ba ear- ried out. Soft, crushable felts may seem carelessly slipped on the head, as required, to give them -dash-- But : In reality they are carefuly adjusted to give that suggested careless ap pearance. Pun your hat far forward regardless of what model you are ' wearing. Then draw it down to tha correct depth on the forehead. Most of the hats this year are designed " to meet the tops ot tha eyebrows. How easily the effect of a beau-' tlful flower-garden.. hat -for mid Summer may be destroyed by the woman who does not know how to wear such a model. First thoughts Ajftpet ontHta&t.

Every morn ing Billy would get up bright' and early and gather In all the nuts , he could find. ; Some he ate; some were for the daily family stable, but many were stored away in the ' pantry for Winter. 4fne morning a shabby little squirrel appeared at his doorway and made a low bow. j "Oh, good Mr. Nimble,"' he begged, "will you give me some "thing to eat? . I am very hungry. And, although I have searched all' over the woods, I cannot And a sin gle nut for my wife and my little son, Peter Greyskin. Will you let me have a few of your goodies?" "Nor growled Riuy Nimble and slammed the twig door In the stranger's face. The stranger walked on. Billy Nimble watched him from a little window hole ift the side of his tree. Then he turned to Mrs. Nimble , and laughed so that his bushy tall oulv ( ered. - , t "Give him some of my food? mocked. Billy in a squeaky voice. "I should say not. Why doesn't he find some nuts for himself, Td like to know? , , "Perhaps because you -gathered them all up before he had a chance, replied Mrs. Nimble. Billy turned a scowling face to her. - . "That's his fault, then," he said, shrugging his limber shoulders and : laughing again.

This movement, too. should he practiced every morning ten times. The problem oil removing the ex cess at that forms under the chin Is one that my readers present fre quently. They request a method ot reducing, the chin without losing weight at any other part t the body. For this, I recommend tha rubber ciln strap. ' The chin is slightly moistened with cold water. Then the rubber Strap, thai fits the chin lines, is adjusted: by' tying its tape ends at the top of the head. A well-known beauty specialist discovered this method, claiming that the rubber produces ' perspiration 1 and thus, melts away the rat, the major. per cent, of which is claimed to be water. In case the rubber should irritate the chin by drawing tha uric acid to the surface, wash tha , skin with a weak solution of soday .and warm water.
