' Carrots and Turnips
Carrots and turnips deserve to have |
a frequent place on our bills oi fare, 1
for these vegetables are not coarse or
strong flavored unless bad cooking
makes them so.
Indeed, carrots have found a plate in !•
the list of excellent foods prescribed j (
hv physicians because they contain so ,
much iron. They strengthen one, too. Ii
and combine attractively in salads and ji
with other vegetables.
In some countries one sees little chil- |
dren eating raw carrots and salt as our ;
children eat apples. Probably the rnin
orals and salts that make carrots so
valuable, medicinally, are lost in cook
ing but their taste is sweet and pleas- l
ant, if they are young and tender.
Boil the carrots in two waters and
have each water salted. Scrape off .
the skin and slice and fry. Fry sausage ;
balls also and serve them with the slices
of carrots. If you do not like the whole
carrot after boiling it tender, press it !
through a sieve and season with salt
and pepper and a generous amount of 1
butter. Eaten thus it is very line with i,
any meat. i
Steamed, diced, creamed carrots are !,
rich and sweet and especially liked with
boiled mutton. The name of this dish
really tells the story of its preparation, j
Turnips are another so-called "com-!
mon" vegetable. Hut nicely prepared, j,
so they are not watery, we find their ,
flavor agreeable and a pleasant change. ||
The large turnips should be pared J
before they are cooked, or they will I,
be strong tasting and if they are pethv
remove their heart. Steaming is a bet
ter method of cooking than boiling. Do j
not cook too long or they will be dis- j
colored.
Mash the boiled turnips and season
as with mashed potatoes. Servo this ;
way, and if any remain put aside until
another day, then add flour to hold the
mass together and sha]>e into little
cakes. Fry in butter and serve with
meat.
CONFIRMS EMBEZZLEMENT
Bookkeeper Says He Was Entitled to
Share Employer's Profits
Lancaster, Pa.. Jan. 28. —"The Rod
(l« Candy Company made lots of money
and I was entitled to part of it.'' That
was the declaration of Samuel C. Lentz,
its chief bookkeeper, when confronted
with an embezzlement of $2,200.
lientz admitted the shortage and sur
prised the officers of the company when
he took from his pocket a memorandum
ot' his embezzlements, which agreed
with the findings of the auditor. He
gave bail for a hearing.

Turnips are sometimes cooked with
onions and persons who like both these
vegetables praise the combination.
To make this dish peel young, tender
turnips and cook theni with onions of
the same size, only cook the turnips for
| a few moments before adding the
onions, as they need longer time. When
done drain well and have ready a rich
i ream sauce. I>ress them with this and
serve. This is a good combination to
I serve with pork.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
K. R. V. writes: "How can 1 make
whipped cream stay firm! The cream
whips stiff but goes right down."
Reply.—You must add gelatine. Fse
any of the package gelatines on the
j market and follow directions accom
I panving them.
* * *
J. R. P. writes: "Why does my
mother in-law make fun of me for cut
ting ends oft" potatoes when T bake
themf She laughs at me, but I do not
; know why."
Reply.—Probably she likes her pota
toes moist when they are cooked. It is
a matter of taste whether a potato's
jskin is broken or not but if the end is
cut, or the skin pierced, the moisture
is lost in the process of baking.
* * *
I T„ M. writes: "Vinegar and salt is
recommended for polishing brass but it
onlv made a line brass lamp of mine
I look worse. What is the trouble,
(please?"
i Reply.—Perhaps your brass is lac
jquered. If this is so the salt and vine
.gar will only polish where the lacquer is
'worn oft'. You must have the whole or
inament repolished, or relacquered by a
1 professional.
* s »
D. S. inquires: "Where can I secure
a course in domestic science that will
prepare me for teaching?"
Reply.—This depends on your pre
vious training. Write me, enclosing
stamped envelope and give full particu
lars about what, you want to do.

"Now, that'* what 1 call a downright. j
rotten, blackguardly shame —a black
guardly shame!" His voice rose in j
tones as it increased iu intensity until
it almost reached a shriek.
Something was espected of him—at
any rate, ii)dlgnatiou. Well, he was
certainly indignant.
"Closed its doors, indeed:" he went !
on. "Why should it close its doors?
That's what 1 want to know! Why— |
should—lt?" And be glared at (he un- |
offending letter and the noncommittal I
newspaper.
He looked at Ethel, who was sur- j
reptitiously concealing a yawn and
was apparently quite undisturbed by
the appalling news. He found no in
spiration there. Back he went to his
mother for support.
"What right hnve banks to fail? \
There should be a law against it.
i They should be made to open their
i doors and keep 'em open. That's what
we give 'eui our money for—so that
we can take it out again when we
' want it."
Poor Mrs. Chichester shook her head
sadly. l
i "Everything gone!" she moaned,
j "Ruined, and at my age!"
CHAPTER XI.
The Chichesters.
AI.ARIC sat on the edge of her
chair and put his arm around
her shoulder and tried to com
fort her.
"Don't you worry, mater." he said.
"Don't worry. I'll go down and tell
'em what I think of 'em—exactly what
I think of "em. They can't play the
t fool with me. I should think not, in
deed. Listen, mater. You've got a
son. thank Hod. and one- no bank can
take any liberties with. What we put
in there we've got to have out. That's
all I can say. We've simply got to
have it out. There! I've said it."
Alaric rose and. drawing himself up
to his full five feet sis inches of man
hood, glared malignantly at some linag
-1 inary bank officials. His whole nature
! was roused. The future of the family
depended on him. They would not de
pend in vain. He looked at Ethel, who
was (trying to make the best of the
business by smiling agreeably on tbem
both.
"It's bankrupt!" wailed Mrs. Chi
chester.
"Failed!" suggested Ethel cheerfully.
"We're beggars." continued the moth
er. "I must live on charity for the rest
of my life, the guest of relations I've
hated the sight of and who have hated
me. It's divrdful—dreadful!"
All Alaric's first glow of manly en
thuslasm began to cool.
"Don't you think we'll get any
thing';" By accident lie turned to
j Ethel. She smHed meanlnalessly and
said for the first time with any real
1 note of conviction:
"Nothing!"
Alaric sat down gloomily beside his
bother.
"I always thonsbt bank lireetor*
were blighters. Good heavens, what a
mess!" He looked the picture of mis
ery. "What's to become of Etbei,
mater V"
"Whoever shelters me must shelter
Ethel as well," replied, the mother sad
ly. "But it's hard—at my age—to be—
sheltered."
Alaric looked at Ethel, and a feeling
of pity came over him. 1» was dis
tinctly to his credit since bis own
wrongs occupied most of his attention.
But, after all, he could buffet the world
and wring a living out of it. All he
had to do was to make up his mind
which walk in life to choose. He was
I fortunate.
But Ethel, reared from Infancy in the
environment of independence— it would
come very hard and bitter on her.
Alaric just touched Ethel's hand, and
with us much feeling as he could mus
ter he said:
"Shocking, tough, old girl."
Ethel shook her head almost deter
minedly and said somewhat enigmati
cally and for her heatedly:
"No!"
"No?" asked Alaric. "No—what?"
"Charity!" said Ethel.
"Cold blooded words." nnd Alaric
shuddered. "What will you do, Ethel?"
"Work."
"At what?"
"Teach."
"Teach? Who in the wide world can
you teach?"
"Children."
Alaric laughed , "Oh,
come, that's rich! Eh, mater? Fancy
Ethel teaching grubby little brats their
A B C'»! Tush!"
"Muetl" said Ethel, quite uuoioTed.
"A. Chichester tench?" said Alaric,
lu disgust.
"Settled!" from Ethel, and she swept
her lingers slowly across the piano,
"Very well," Aid Alaric determined
ly, "I'll work too,"
Mrs, Chichester looked up pleadtugly.
Alaric went on: "I'll put my hand to
the plow. The more I think of it tho
keener lam to begin, From today I'll
be a worklugoiao.''
At tbii Etbei laughed a queer, little,
odd, note, summed up in
A single word, "Ha!" There wee noth
ing njlrthful lu it. There waj no re
pionch in It, It was just an expres
sion of ber honest feeling at the bare
suggestion of ber brother working.
Alaric turned quickly to ber.
"And pjuy I uak why tUttt 'Haf
\\ by. 1 ask you ? There's nothing «•
vouldn't d<> if I were really put to it
—not a single tiling. Is there, mater?"'
Ills mq(her looked up proudly at him.
"1 know that. dear. But it's dread
ful to think of you—working."
"Not at ail." said Alaric. "I'm just
tingling all over at the thought of it.
The ouly reason 1 haven't so far is
Iteeause I've never had to. But now
that 1 have I'll just buckle on my
nrmor, so to speak, aud astonish you
all."
Again came that deadly, cold un
sympathetic "Ha!" from Ethel.
"Please don't laugh in that cheerless
way, Ethel. It all down my
spine. Jerry's always telling me I
ought to do something—that the world
is for the worker—aud all .that. He's
right, aud I'm going to show him." He
suddenly picked up the paper and look

cd at the date. "What's today—the
l&t? Yes. so it is June the Ist.
Jerry's coining today—all his family
too. They've taken 'Noel's Folly.' on
the hill. He's sure to look in here.
| Couldn't be better. He's the cove to
1 turn to in a case like this."
Jarvis. a white haired, dignified but
ter. who had served the family man
and boy. came in at this juncture with
a visiting card on a salver.
Alaric picked it tip aud glanced at
it. He gave an expression of disgust
and flung the card back on the salver.
; "Christian Brent."
I For the first time Ethel showed
more than a passing gleam of Inter
est. She stopped strumming the piano
and stood no. very erect and verv still.
Mrs. Chichester rose too "I can t
9ee any one." she wild Imperatively.
"Nor I." added Alaric. "I'm all
strung up." He turned to Jarvis. "Tell
Mr Brent we're very sorry, but"—
"I'll see him." Interrupted Ethel, al
: most animatedly. "Bring Mr. Brent
here, Jarvis "
As Jarvis went In search of Mr.
Brent Mrs. Chichester went up the
great stairs. "My bead is throbbing.
I'll go to my room."
"Don't you worry, mater." consoled
Alaric. "Leave everything to Lie. I'll
thrash the whole thing out"
As Mrs. Chichester disappeared Alar
ic turned to his calm sister, who,
strangely enough, wus showing some
signs of life nnd Interest
"Really going to teach?"
"Yes."
"Right! I'll And something, too
very likely a doctor. We'll pull through
somehow."
Ethel made a motion toward the door
I .is though to stop any further conver
! satton.
| "Mr. Brent's coming," she said, al
: must Impatiently.
Alaric starred for the window lead
ing Into the garden.
"Jolly good uf yon to let him bore
you. I hate the sight of the beggar
myself. Always looks to me like the
first conspirator Ht a play."
The door ufiened. nnd Jarrts entered
and ushered In "Mr. Brent" Alario
hurried Into the garden.
A few words of description of Chris
tian Brent might be of interest sine*
lie represents a type that society *l
- baa with It
They begin by deceiving others) they
end by deceiving tbomiwlvtis.
Christian Brent wns a dark, tana*,
eager, scholarly looking uinn of twen
ty-eight years of agn. Bit career at a
diplomatist wns halted at Its ontaet by
an early marriseu with tb# only daugh
ter of a prospermia manufacturer.
Brent wns moderately Independent In
his own right, but the addition of bis
wife's dowry seemed to destroy all am
bition. He no longer found Interest In
carrying messages to the various lega
tions or embassies of Europe or in Oil
ing a routine position as some one's '
secretary. From belhg an Intensely
eager mau of affairs he drifted Into a
social louuger-tbe lapdog of the draw
ing room— where the close breath of
some rare perfume meant more than
the clash of Interests and the conquest
of s woman greater than tiiut of a na
tion.
.Inst at this period Ethel Chichester
was the especial object of his adora
tion.
Her beauty appealed to blm.
Her absolute Indifference to him
stung blm as a lash. It seemed to be
little his powers of attraction. Const*- ,
quentiy he redoubled bis efforts.
Ethel showed ueither tike nor dislike
—Just a form of toleration. Brent ac- ;
cepted this, as n dog a crumb. In the
hope of sometbtng more substantial
to follow He had come that morn- 1
Ing with a fixed resolve. His man
ner was determined. His voice wooed
as a caress. He went tenderly to
Ethel the momeut the door closed on
Jarvis.
"How are you?" he asked, and there
was a note of subdued passion tn his
tone.
"Fair," replied Ethel without even
looking at him
"Where Is your mother?" suggesting
that much depended on the answer.
"Lying down," answered Ethel truth
fully and without any feeling.
"And Alaric?"
"In the garden."
"Then we have a moment or two
alone?" Brent put a world of mean
ing Into the suggestion.
"Very likely." said Ethel, picking up
a score of "Boheme" and looking at It
as If she saw it for the first time, all
the while watching him through her
half closed eyes.
Brent went to her. "(.{lad to see
me?" he asked.
"Why not?"
"I am glad to see you"—be bent over
ber— "more than glad."
"Really?"
He sat beside ber. "Ethel," be whis
pered intensely, "I am at the cross
roads."
"Oil!" commenced Ethel,.without any
interest.
"It came last night"
"Did It?"
"This is the end—between Sibyl and
myself.'"
"Is It?"
"Yes—the end. Ifs been horrible from
the first—horrible There's uot a word
of mine—not an action—she doesn't
misunderstand."
"Hojv boring!" said Ethel blandly.
"She would see harm even In this!"
"Why?"
"She'd think I was here to—to"— He
stopped.
"What?" Innocently Inquired Ethel.
"Make love to you." Aud be looked
earnestly Into her eyes.
She met his look quite frankly and
astonished him with the question.
"Well, aren't you?"
He rose anxiously. "Ethel!"
"Don't you always?" persisted Ethel
"Has It seemed like that to you?"
"Yes." she answered candidly, "by
Insinuation, never straightforwardly."
"Has It offended you?"
"Then vo" if"
