HOUSEKEEPERS SHOULD LEARN PATTERNS FOR MAKING ALL SAUCES AND GRAVIES Both Cream Sauce and Cream Pie Filling Are Made by the Same Pattern. (Prepared by the United States Depart* ment of Agriculture.) At first glance you may see no rela tion between the cream gravy for your pork chops and the fruit sauce for your pudding, yet exactly the same principle of cookery Is employed in making both —the thickening of a liquid by a starchy substance such as flour or cornstarch. The following recipes for white sauces may he considered ns patterns for ail sauces of this type. They are suggested by the home-economic spe cialists of the United States depart ment of agriculture. These are among the most useful of recipes since they have a very wide scope of use in everyday cookery, the thin white sauce being used common* Flour. Fat. Liquid. Seasoning.

CAKES, COOKIES AND BREAD Should Be Cooled After Baking and Placed in Other Receptacles— Scald and Air. Cokes, cookies, and breud should be cooled ufter baking und before being placed In other receptacles. The tin box or enrthenwurt Jurs In which they are kept should be thoroughly scalded and ulred. Every three days In damp, hot weather Is none too often. Por tion* of a former baking should never he stored with a new butch. how this “pattern” may be varied, by variations of the liquid in some cases, and of seasoning In other cases. In thickening a liquid with a starchy substance, care must be taken to pre vent lumping. This may be accom plished by separating the starcli grains in one of several ways. Select which ever method seems best adapted to the case: (a) By blending the starch with melted fat before adding the liquid as in the white sauces and tomato sauce. (h) By mechanically separating the starch grains by mixing with the sugar granules as In pudding sauce and corn starch pudding. (c)By mixing the starch to a paste with cold liquid before adding to the hot liquid. This method is often em- WHITE SAUCE. ployed In thickening gravy where the fat from the meat is already blended with the meat stock.

THE OILPIIf OBSERVER. Not His Job. Relaxing. THE FIRST STEP By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD <©, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) They had named her June because they said her eyes held the heavenly blueness of a June sky, her cheeks were apple blossoms and her hair curled like the tendrils of the moon flower vine that grew outside the win dows, June Day, what a charming name for a baby! Her father and mother loved each !>ther so much that when her father was called suddenly away her mother followed very soon. “They’ve gone to heaven,” Annette, her old nurse, told the child. And that was the history of June — Hint and the fall she had had that lifted her on a narrow cot bed and left her there through all the dream ing hours of her girlhood. She watched the birds wing pnst in flocks when spring was come; she saw the five-fingered frond of the horse chestnut spread Into a hand; she breathed the soft air heavy with the damp odor of the earth and budding tilings. Then June Day for the first time In her 20 years had the irresponsible de sire to get up and walk. She pushed hack the cover that lay over her and looked at her helpless feet in their blue slippers. Very carefully she lifted first one and then the other with her hand so that they hung down over the cot. Then she tried to stand. Annette found her there beside the cot when she came up with her glass of milk a little huddled figure crying bitterly. “Now, dearie,” she scolded, “why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve got It for you!” “But I wanted to walk! I wanted to walk!” the sobbing girl choked. Annette lifted the slender figure In her arms and laid her back on the cot. But when she had left the room her wrinkled, plain old face bore a puz zled look. That very afternoon she put on her black jacket and her black hat with the red dahlia In It and, tak ing her black cotton gloves, prepared to journey forth. “Anything you want, dearie?” she asked, putting her head In at the door. June smiled. “I’m reading the love liest book! She has so many lovers that she doesn’t know which one to choose—” Annette shook her head sadly as she went down the stairs. That was why she dared to ring the hell and ask for “Doctor Fleming,” in spite of the bril llunce of the new brass plate that quite filled the old woman with dis may. She knew, too well, that all the old doctors had said “hopeless.” But still —Doctor Fleming was young —and plain, Annette thought. lie asked her questions In a sudden, ab rupt way that abashed her at first. Then he sat staring hard at his desk. Now Annette hnd come to the hard est part of her task. “You don’t get your meals here?” she fumbled. “No,” he unswered, wondering at the curiosity of the old woman. “Then I’m thinking—that la, would you take your meals with me to pay for the doctoring?” Doctor Fleming opened his eyes that were neither green nor gray, and smiled; and as the smile lighted his face old Annette wondered why she could ever have thought him plain. “I will,” he said, and gave her his hand on the bargain. June Day looked on tills new man creature without shyness, but a gentle question awoke In her blue eyes. Was he the Incarnation of ull the heroes she had ever rend? Was he the prince charming that always comes riding for the dreaming prin cess? He was very gentle, but very cruel, too, she sometimes thought when he made her move her stiff legs until she felt she would faint from the pain. “If he knew how It hurt,” she thought and closed her eyes. But she did not set* the doctor’s face change from encouragement to sudden mis ery. lie was still there when she opened her eyes. “What are all these about?” he asked, pointing to the books beside her on the little white table. “Oh, they’re all about love," June said. “It must be wonderful —’’ The young doctor frowned. “You might not tQ read that stuff. It'll spoil you. I'm going to lie married — soon—myself.’’ “Oh!” June breathed with her blue eyes lifted to his. “You must know all about love then —” The young doctor only frowned and said: “You nre to do that exer cise twice tomorrow morning and twice tomorrow afternoon and twice the next morning, and —” “But aren’t I going to see you at all?” June asked ungrammatically hut wistfully. “If you knew how I loved to see you—and If you—" “Oh, very well; very well,” the young doctor snapped nnd had gone before she had a chance to sny good by. June, when she was once more alone, forgot to think about her exercises, hut dreumed Instead about her myth ical lover. “He must have pale brown hair and eyes neither green nor gray, and be must be tall, and, yes, she would like him to frown when he wup thinking bard nnd his amlla— why, hts smile must be just like Doctor Fleming's I” When Doctor Fleming came next morning his first words startled her so that she sat up quite straight. “This is the last time I shall come here as your doctor—” “Oh!” June slipping to her feet In her excitement forgot that she was standing alone. “Unless you can take the first step to me!” June Day stood very straight, then she made one trembling, wild, brave step nnd slipped Into the young doc tor’s arms. She felt his arms about her, strong and saving, and she found her gheek pressing the rough lapel of his coat. “My brave little girl,” he said softly, and lifted her back to her cot. When she opened her eyes she fal tered : “But do you think—do you think —she would like it?” “I don’t dare trust myself," the young doctor said quickly. “I said I was going to be married, but I’m not unless —you will have me—” .Tune looked at him standing above her and her eyes that held the blue of the summer skies In their depths were full of a sudden delirious happi ness. “But I am,” she whispered as he knelt down beside her. LAY KAISER’S FALL TO GEM Many Hold That Belief, in View of 111 Omen That Is Attached to “Blaze of Glory.” An 111-starred diamond, which Inst shone ns central gem in the crown of Prussia, Is now credited with having been a factor In bringing about the ruin of the Hohenzollem dynasty. It is known as the “Blaze of Glory.” According to the tale brought here about It, the diamond was given by King Solomon to the queen of Sheba, having been plucked from his turban for her adornment, w’rltes the London correspondent of the New York World. Curious carvings on two sides of it are supposed to be heraldic tokens of the two ancient lovers. Copies of the gem were carried Into Persia, where they excited the greed of the nomad king, El-Hakim 11, who robbed the queen of Sheba’s grave to secure It for himself. Within two weeks there after he was slain In his palace, and thereafter, through the centuries, rul ers and princes who acquired the gem came to grief. The margrave of Brandenburg, whose house started the Prussian dy nasty, found the gem on a Jewish mer chant in one of the margrave’s raids Into Silesia, and seized It, declaring he would pluce It in the crown of a great kingdom he was about to estab lish. The merchant was Instantly slain when he ventured to remind the captor of the evil Influence of the diamond. It seems to have been handed down the Prussian line until finally It reached tin* one-time emperor, now In retreat In Holland. It Is said that Herr Zunkelhom. a learned antiquary, who had learned the fateful history of the gem and who In some way had forecast that ruin would come to Its owner between the years 1018 and 1922, Implored the young emperor to rid himself of It before Ids coronation, and that to this entreaty William replied: “You must understand that I am crowned by the spirit of God and the will of my people. The Hohenzol lerns must endure forever. No curse of evil can harm our dynasty.” So he kept the gem In his crown and tradition seems to have Justified Itself. Learning From Other,. The greatest mark of a master builder Is Ids ability to learn from others. The truly great man Is never aslinined to learn. He willingly takes pointers from his office boy when that Important personage has something to give. It's In tills way that he gets ahead. The old world Is forever ex i-eedlng human experience. Knch day adds to the facts of the unknown. Un dreamed of facts today are tomorrow made commonplace. The great man knows this well. Accordingly he tries to keep abreast of the changes that make or mar the future. He hulkls by trying to make each new fact an aid to the general progress nnd gath ers Ills data wherever he flads It. He subdues the world with the material the world Itself gives him. Three Vagrant Classes. Perhaps you think the hobo, the bum, the tramp nnd vagrant are one nnd the same. Indeed not. They nre as different as bulldogs and terrlors nnd eolllcs. They nre all vagrants— that Is, persons without physical menus of support nnd family attach ments. But tlipre are three distinct tyi>es: There Is the trump, the young fellow who works a little nnd travels a great deal; the hum. who drinks a great deni und works n little, nnd the hobo, who works a little, drinks a lit tle nnd travels n little.
