WOMAN’S INTERESTS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR HOMEMAKERS;
ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
“Talo of a Traiji."
Nancy and Nick and Buskins lis
tened with interest to the talo of
the smoke-ring and how it has
caused the rich man to help the
poor one.
"Well, that’s that!” sighed a black
•moke pillar loudly. This fellow was
large and black and fierce looking.
’But I, too, have seen wonderful
things. I’m out of engine No. 09
that pulls the United States Limited,
the most wonderful train in Amer
ica.
‘‘One time we were carrying some
valuable express packages, a mil
lion dollars in gold, X was told after
wards. I had Just come out of the
bag black smoke-stack of the engine
and was looking around at the
rough country, when I noticed some
thing.
“The track made a deep curve
around a hill, and just as the engine
started around the curve, I saw
some figures ahead of It with a red
flag In their hands. Also I noticed
i hat the figures wore masks and car
ried guns, and beyond them In a
little valley some horses were stand
ing, saddled and bridled and ready
to go. I saw at once what wus go
ing to happen. My beloved train
would be stopped and robbed and
lose its reputation for safety.
"There was only one thing to do,"
said the black smoke-pillar Impor
tantly. "X took a short cut across the
hill and dropped one of my sharp
black cinders into the eye of the
man who had the flag. He gave one
yell and dropped the flag, clapping
his hand to his face. The others
crowded around him to see what was
the matter. They thought something
dreadful had happened. Just then
my train whizzed by. I had saved It.”
"Fine!” cried all the other smoke
fairies, and Nancy and Nick and
Buskins, who wore listening, clappedl
their hands. "But didn’t the men
come back?” asked Nick.
"No,” said the smoke-pillar, "for
the gold was delivered that day. The
next day was too late.”

CHAPTER 46.
The Has) Toast
“A penny for your thoughts:” The
time honored challenge evoked a
pensive half-«mil ■ from Violet. With
out changing he position, she looked
from the moon-bathed courtyard tp
Paul a face.
"Wouldn't advise ygu to buy
them, Paul-—even at a bargain.
Thcy’ro too dangerous—the thoughts
of a lonoly old woman—what do
they matter?”
“.Stop joking. Vio. The buffoon
part of the party is over.”
“That's just it. I feci quite—a
minor mood. Perhapa those old ilm£
songs have got me In their spell.”
"Tell me what you’re thinking of,
Violet? I'd understand.”
She turned squarely toward him.
and looked no longer into the sil
vered ct urtyard.
"I wonder! Would you under
stand the mood of a woman who felt
old and tired of the game? A woman
of 33—yes, I’n. 33, Paul, did you
never guess It? Oh, I know what
peop'c think—that I live a gay life,
move lr: a worlu of admirers and
dances and dinners and clothes. And
that I wish for nothing else. » • *
Why. I'd bo a monster if I wished
for nothing else.”
"You could have anything you
wanted.”
Her eyes flashed, then narrowed.
He- voice softened, deopened.
. “Could I?”
The tene of it. the way slio held
his eyes with her own, threatened
his self-control for an Instant. Tho
beauty of her the appeal for under
standing and pity, shook him—as
shs meant them to. With an effort
lie looked awAy, commanding his
voice.
"Of course you could. No woman
with your gifts need be lonely—”
Violet made an impatient gesture.
"Lonely! No. I suppose not. I
can trick myself out and practice my
arts--play the game eternally. But
what do X get for it? The—the love
of any man? • Friends who care two
cents about me, or what becomes of
me really? No! In the end a man
marries some pretty little Quaker
minded doll. I’ve got nothing—”
she kicked at the rug, her voice grew
bitter, "—nothing to look forward to
Mu loneliness—”
Slto broke off. Paul was amazed
to ->e6 tears standing In her eyes.
"Violet, don’t—” his tone had a
tender note, "don’t talk so."
Polly, passing quite accidentally,
on some errand for her guests,
caught what he was saying:
'X tell you, Violet, there’s no need
for you to oe alone. No man on
whom you set your heart will fall
you. You’re worth any big man’s
love.’’
Again her eye. searched his. Polly
hurried on, hut Paul’s tone and
Violet’s look liaunted her—the look
that said: "Ah. yes. It’s very well
for you to say that—you who have
everything—love and a home—”
With a quick movement, Violet
turned and faced the room, breaking
Into the quiet mood of the party.
"Como, you people, time for good
nlghts and bed,’’ she cried. "X pro
pose a final toast! litre’s to the one
happy marriage I know!” She waved
tow a SC Pollv and toward Paul! "May
no serpent ever dare enter their
Eden!’’

Kitchen Hints
j Tempting Menus
Perhaps these recipes for using
canned lish will appeal to yor. They
are a bit out of the ordinary and

tablespoon minced parsley, milk, 1
teaspoon salt, K teaspoon pepper.
Remove all skin itid bone- from
salmon and flake. Mix with pota
toes, add butter, salt and pepper and
eggs. Mix well and add enough milk
to make of the consistency of very
thick batter. Beat well. Turn into
a buttered baking dish, cover with
bread crumbs and bake In a mod
erate oven about 4 5 minutes. Any
left-over cooked fish can be used in
place of salmon.
Sainton and Macaroni
Two cups flaked salmon, */4 cup
macaroni broken in Inch pieces, 3
tablespoons grated c.hee3e, 1 table
spoon butter, % teaspoon salt,
teaspoon pepper, 1 cup white sauce.

15 minutes in salted water. Brain
and blanch. Add to white sauce.
Add two tablespoons cheese, fish,

per, hot buttered toast.
Beat eggs slightly with milk.
Season with salt and pepper. Melt
butter in saucepan and add the tuna
flsh broken in flakes. When very hot
add the eggs. Cook slowly and stir
with a silver fork constantly. Lift
the mixture rather than stir it round
and round in the pan.
When the whole begins to thicken
remove from the fire and serve on
hot buttered toast.
Curry of Salmon
One large can salmon, I table
spoons butter, 1 dessertspoon curry
powder, 1 dessertspoon flour, 1 sour
apple. 1 small onion, 1 teaspoon
