CHAPTER Vm
rIE next few days were busy
ones (or Lorls and Carey.
They familiarized themselves
with the layout of the house,
decided on what days to clean
what rooms, and how much
leisure they could give them
selves for music and drawing.
Then there were the feeding
periods for the canaries and
the fish, and the days when
the cages and aquariums were
to be scrubbed.
-There's going to be plenty for ut
to do." said Carey. "But I'm glad.
ItH be a big relief having an Incen
tive for getting up In the
mornings."
"And what a Joy to get up In the
country!" said Lorla.
Then there was the business of
getting the little ;ar into good
shape. Carey spent nearly a whole
day going over It, dusting, polish
ing, and giving the engine thor
ough overhauling.
"How about a drive to the vil
lager" he said to Lorls. on their
fourth day at Pottersplace.
"I'd love it." said Loris. "I want
to buy a money order to send to
my landlady for my back rent."
"Reckon I'll buy a money order
too." said Carey. "My landlady
could use some back rent."
UPON reaching Llndenbrook,
they decided to do some mar
keting also. They had been buying
what they needed each daj from a
little crossroads store not far from
Pottersplace. but things cost lest In
the village.
"Left blow ourselves," said
Carey, "and get a thick steak. Or
do you like your steak thin? Most
girls do. I hear."
"No. I like mine thick," said
Loris. "And not too well-done."
. "Qoah, a girl after my own
beartl"
They bought the steak. They also
got some mushrooms and onions.
"We'll have our own onions be
fore the summer Is over." Carey
aid, "but I'm hungry for some now.
Many a time I've said, if I ever got
on my financial legs again. I was
going to gorge myself on steak
smothered In onions and mush
rooms." "Let's forget times like those,
Carey." said Loris. "I went through
them, too living on peanut butter
and crackers."
When their purchases were all
made. Carey suggested that they
take a drive about the country be
fore going home. Lorls. business
like, looked at her watch and said
she supposed they could spare the
time.
"Only we mustn't be late to feed
the canaries and the fish."
Carey chuckled. "Funny thing
J dreamed the other night that we
made a mistake and gave the bird
red to the fish, and the flab, food
to the birds."
"What happened?" Lorlt asked.

LINGERIE THIEF ESCAPES
Pacific Grove, Cel., Dec. 12
(U.PJ A burglar with a mania
for women't flimsy silk under
things gave police the tlip here
tonight. He hat entered 12
hornet, ransacked boudoirs for
only underwear of the scantiest
nature and escaped.
The fish an started tinging, and
the birds all began swimming."
Loris laughed. "Well for Pete
take, be careful after thlal"
flfEY sped along a wide road
1 that now and then bordered the
Sound. About ten miles from Pot
tersplace. they saw a roadhouas
being repainted and thlned up.
"Maybe we can go there for
dancing when It opens," said Carey.
"How about It?"
"It would be fun." said Lorls.
"Heavens, I cant remember the
last time I danced."
"Nor can L" Carey glanced at
the girl beside him. "I'll bet you
dance like nobody's business."
"I'm not so worse. If I do say to
as shouldn't!" Lorls laughed.
She felt oddly carefree. She
loved the open sir, the smell of the
tea. the blue of the sky.
"Then It's a date I " said Carey.
"We dance Just as toon as the place
opens."
Lorls nodded, and smiled. It
would be fun dancing with Carey.
In fact. It was fun doing anything
with him. How remarkably they
got along together I But maybe
she had better knock wood. She
did to.
TWILIOHT was slipping in and
a out of the grounds around Pot
tersplace. when they returned
there. They carried their bundles
In through the rear door, and
placed them In the kitchen.
"Hungry?" asked Lorls.
"I'm always hungry out here,"
said Carey.
"Then suppose we fix the tteak
Just as soon at we've fed the birds
and fish."
A little later In the big kitchen,
they worked side by side. Carey
broiled the steak. Lorls prepared
the mushrooms. They opened a can
of asparagus, and unwrapped an
apple pie.
"Shall we eat in the dining room
or out here?" Lorls asked, when
everything was ready.
"Out here." said Carey. "It's tort
of cozy and homelike. The dining
room's too formal. Well save that
for celebrations."
"What sort of celebrations?"
"Oh. birthdays, maybe. Surely
one of us will have a birthday be
fore the summer Is over."
"I won't." said Lorls. "I was born
In February."
"And I was born In April." said
Carey. "Darn I Well, we'll have to
celebrate our anniversary."
"What anniversary?"
"Wedding. You know each
month I"
Lorlt said nothing. She bent for
ward to cut the steak. Carey
watched her. admiring the way the
light did fetching things to her
blonde hair.
"You know something?" he said.
"Several things." said Lorls. "But
not Just how many mushrooms you
want."
"Plenty I What I mean. Lorls, It
that I was thinking how swell It
would be If all this were real."
"Real?" Lorls looked pp. "It Is."
"I mean If we actually owned
this place." Carey went on. "And
were well, In love facing life to
gether until death do us part."
"Past your plate." said Lorls.
Carey sighed. "You certainly can
knock the romance right out from
under a fellow."
"Then eat your tteak and get
back your equilibrium." Lorlt re
torted. "And pleate remember.

MEATLESS DAYS
Special Menus Featured
Substitutes For Pork,
Beef and Mutton.
Washington (U.R) New York's
meatless Tuesday, Inaugurated
recently, is nothing new; the
whole country observed meat
less Tuesday during the first
World war.
Records at National Archives
in Washington show that chefs
in hotels and dining cars, and
housewives from coast to coast
began featuring special war
menus, using meat substitutes In
place of pork, beef and mutton.
Employee in eating places
wore special buttons and sleeve
emblems to remind customers of
meatless Tuesday and to encour
age the doctrine of the "clean
plate" it was patriotic to eat
everything.
Then, at now. New York re
ported Its inhabitants took meat
less days with a smile. Food
authorities In Kansas City re
ported restaurants had trouble
with patrons who ordered bacon
snd ham for breakfast and steak
for dinner.
Ship Crews Ate Lett
Pennsylvania proclaimed that
beef could be served only at
noon. Pork was not eaten on
Saturday in some communities.
Firemen in Washington started
raising gardens to alleviate the
meat shortage by growing some
of their own meat . substitutes.
Suppers were beefless on all
railroads. Among the first to
limit their consumption of meat
were 600 merchant vessel crews,
to prove even physical laborers
could do without meat.
During World war I meatless
days were put in effect because
the Allies and our armed forces
were taking an ever larger per
centage of our supply. In addi
tion, there was so much conges
tion in transportation that meat
less days were a method to cut
down freight. In four months
the program was nation-wide,
from October, 1917, to Febru
ary, 1918; 140,000,000 pounds of
beef were conserved, according
to food administration records.
In March, 1918, the meatless
days were discontinued because
a drought In the west made it
necessary for cattlemen to sell
their stock. There was also a
large amount of lamb on the
market.
How Important the Hoover
food administration considered
food conservation is disclosed
by some of their old slogans:
"Food will help win the war'
which has been revived by
the'Department of Agriculture
"Every hog is of greater value
to winning the war than a
shell." and "Serve by saving,"
"A Meatless Meal A Day"
A home card of 1918 contain
ed this message: "Hang this
card in your kitchen. Problems:
Allies soldiers. Solutions:
Wheat, beef, pork, butter, sugar.
Two wheatless days, Monday
and Wednesday and meatless
meal every day."
Another card sent out by the
food administration listed the
following ways to serve by sav
ing: Save wheat, meat, fats
use

eat everything.
Wheat was even more a prob
lem than meat because our allies
and armed forces made a heavy
drain on our wheat supply. The
turpi ut of wheat during this war
has made "wheatless days"
problem of another era.
Meatless days contributed to
the growth of the school hot
lunch program. Mothers ab
sorbed in war work in 1917-18
planned the heavy meal at night,
and had only light meal for
children at noon. Schools be
came aware of this fact, and iiu
Massachusetts and New York a
hot lunch program was insti
tuted in some districts.
Tuesdays were chosen as
meatiest dayt because Tuesday
is a mid-week day, half-week
from Friday, which Is fish day
among many Americans.
