10 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Some Vegetable Soups When the dinner must always begin | with a soup the housekeeper often asks. ! "What sort of soup shall I have to day?" vWv earnestly. The vegetable 1 soups varrv their own recommendations when nirely made but too often they are not fwell prepared. This is not al ways carelessness, either. One vegetable soup that is well liked ! if not*served too often is cabbage soup. ' To make this cut a small cabbage in J pieces and boil it in water until it is! tender. Press it through a sieve. Melt f four tablespoons of butter and add it • and one minced onion, one teaspoon of' salt, one-third teaspoon of pepper and j two enps of milk. Cook this five rain-1 ntes, then add two tablespoons of flour i moistened with cold milk and cook j five minutes longer. Tast# and add j more salt and other seasonings if needed, strain and serve. Cauliflower \ soup is made in the same way but grated cheese is added at the last. There is nothing new about bean soup, but baked bean soup is a thrifty dish, very nourishing and good tasting. Take the pork or veal that was baked with the beans and about three cups of the baked beans and add to them one quart of cold water, and one-half cup of diced celery. Simmer gently for i thirty minutes; add a tablespoon of flour moistened with milk and. continue cooking live minutes. Pour all this I through a puree sieve, reheat and serve. If you please you may add tomato sauce or a cup of canned tomato to the mix ture white it is cooking. The flour is I added to all vegetable soups to give! them smoothness and body and ira-! proves them greatly. Cream of Spinach soup is made with i milk in this way: Cook two quarts of | " !

"I shouldn't do It Mallow," he said. "I shouldn't. Noth lng would please me better than to I have a good excuse to chuck you ovet . the rail. Upon a time you had the best | of me. I was a sick man then. I'm in ' tolerable good health at present." i "You crow, I could break you like a | pipe stem." Mallow rammed his hands Into his coat pockets, scowling con ; temptuously. He weighed, fully twenty pounds more than Warrington. Crow! Warrington shrugged. In the Kast crow is a rough synonym for thief. "You're at liberty to return to your diggings forward with that im pression," he replied coolly. "When we get to Singapore," rising slowly to his height until his eyes were level with Mallow's, "when we get to Singa pore, I'm going to ask you for that fifty pounds, earned in honest labor." "And if I decline to pay?" trucu lently. "We'll talk that over when we reach port. Now," roughly, "get out. There won't be any baiting done today, thank you." "Cockalorem!" jeered Mallow. Craig touched his sleeve, but he threw off the hand roughly. He was one of the best rough and tumble fighters in the Straits settlements. "You thieving beach-comber, 1 don't want to mess up the deck with you, but I'll cut your comb for you when we get to port." Warrington laughed insolently and picked up the parrot cage. "I'll bring the comb. In fact, I always carry it," Not a word to Craig, not a glance in his direction. Warrington stepped to the companionway and went below. Craig could not resist grinning at Mallow's discomfiture. "Wouldn't break, eh?" "Shut your mouth! The sneaking dock-walloper, I'll take the Starch out of him when we land! Always had that | high and mighty air. Wants folks to think he's a gentleman." "He was once," said Craig. "No use giving you advice; but he's not a j healthy individual to bait; I'm no kit ten when it comes to scrapping; but I haven't any desire to mix things with him." The fury of the man who had ; given him the ducking was still vivid. | He had been handled as a terrier ; handles a rat. "I tell you he's yellow. And with a hundred thousand in his clothes, he'll ■ be yellower still." | A hundred thousand. Craig frowned I and gazed out to sea. He had forgot j ten all about the windfall. "Let's go j and have a peg," he suggested surlily. • ••»««» Immediately upon obtaining her rooms at Raffles hotel iu Singapore 1 land leaving Martlia there to await j the arrival of the luggage, an impos ing collection of trunks and boxes and ! kitbags), Elsa went down to the Amer ican consulate, which had its offices in the rear of the hotel. She walked through the outer office and stood si lently at the consul general's elbow, waiting for him to look up. She waa , dressed in white, and in the pugree of her helmet was the one touch of color. Rajah's blue feather. The consul gen eral turned his head. His kindly face had the settled expression of indul gent inquiry. The expression changed swiftly into one of delight. "Elsa Chetwood!" he cried, seizing her hands. "Well, well! lam glad to sees you. Good gracious what a beau tiful woman you've turned out to be! Sit down, sit down!" He pushed her into a chair. "Well, well! When I saw you last you were nineteen." "What a frightful momory you have! And I was going to my first ball. You used the same adjective." "Is there a better one? I'll use It if there is. You've arrived just in time. | I am giving a little dinner to the con a | In the East Crow Is a Rough Bynonym for Thief! suls and their wives tonight. You see, I've an old friend from India in town today, and I've asked him, too. Your appearance evens up matters." "Oh; then I'm just a flller-in!" "Heavens, no! You're the most im portant person of the lot, though Colo nel Knowlton . . "Colonel Knowlton!" exclaimed Elsa. "That's so, by George! Stupid of me. You came down on the same boat Fine! You know each other." Elsa straightened her Hps with some difficulty. Bho possessed the enviable | racuity oi instantly forming in her I mind pictures of coming events. The ' little swelling veins in the colonel's nose were as plain to her mind's eye ' as if he really stood before her. "Have htm take me in to dinner," she sug i gested. "Just what 1 was thinking of," de clared the unsuspecting man. "If any one can draw out the colonel, It will be you." "I'll do my best." Elsa's mind vu i frll of roll'eir'ne malice. Contemplatively he said: "So you've been doing the Orient alone? You are I like your father in that way. He was never afraid of anything. Your men tal makeup, too, I'll wager is like his. Finest man in the world." "Wasn't he? How I wish he could have always been with me! But why is it, everyone seems appalled that I should travel over here without male escort?" "The answer lies in your mirror, Elsa. Your old nurse Martha is no . real protection." "Are men so bad, then?" "They are less restrained. The heat, the tremendous distances, the lack of amusements, are perhaps responsible. By the way, here's a packet of letters for you." "Thanks." Elsa played with the packet, somberly eying the superscrip tions. The old disorder came back in to her mind. Three of the letters were from Arthur. She dreaded to open them. "1 must be going, then. ! I'm not sure of my tickets to Hong | kong." "Go straight to the German Lloyd office. I'll have my boy show you the way. Clionfe!" he called. A bright eyed young Chinese came in quickly I "Show lady German Lloyd office. All same quick." In the outer office she paused for a moment or so to look at the maga zines and weeklies from home. The Chinese boy, grinning pleasantly, - peered curiously at Elsa's beautiful • hands. She heard someone enter, and ■ quite naturally glanced up. The new comer was Mallow. He stared at her, smiled familiarly and lifted his helmet. Elsa, with cold unllickering eyes, of fered his greeting no recognition what ever. The man felt that she was look ing through him, inside of him, search ing out all the dark corners of his soul. He dropped his gaze, confused. Then Elsa calmly turned to the boy. "Come, Chong." There was something in the manner of her exit that intinltely puzzled him. It was the insolence of the well-bred, but he did not know it. To offset his chagrin and confusion, he put on his helmet and passed into the private of fice. She was out of his range of un derstanding. Mallow was an American by birth but had grown up in the Orient, hard ily. In his youth he had been beaten and trampled upon, and now that he had become rich in copra (the dried kernels of cocoanuts from which oil is made), he in his turn beat and trampled. It was the only law he knew. Ordinarily, when in Penang and Singapore, he behaved himself, drank circumspectly and shunned promiscu ous companions. But when he did drink heartily, he was a man to be ware of. He hailed the consul general cordial ly and offered him one of his really choice cigars, which was accepted. "I say, who was that young woman who just went out?" The consul general laid down the cigar. The question itself was harm- ' less enough; it was Mallow's way of i clothing it he resented. "Why?" he ; asked. "She's a stunner. Just curious if ' you knew her, that's all. We came ' down on the same boat. Hanged If I shouldn't like to meet her. Do you know her?" eagerly. "I do. More than that, I have al ways known her. She Is the daughter of the late General Chetwood, one of the greatest civil engineers of our | time. When he died he left her sev- j eral millions. She Is a remarkable young woman, a famous beauty, known j favorably in European courts, and I can't begin to tell you how many flther accomplishments she has." "Well, stump me!" returned Mallow. "Is she a free-thinker?" "What the devil is that? What do you mean?" "Only this, if she's all you say she is, why does she pick out an absconder for a friend, a chap who dare not show his phiz in the states? I heard the tale froi» a man once employed in his of fice back in New York. A beach-comb er, a dock-walloper, If there ever was one." "Mallow, you'll have to explain that i instantly." "Hold your horses, my friend. What I'm telling you is on the level. She's been hobnobbing with the fellow all the way down from the Irrawaddy, so I'm told. Never spoke to anyone else. Made him sit at her side at table and jabbered Italian at him, as if she didn't want others to know what she was talking about. I know the man. Fired him from my plantation, when I found out what he was. Can't recall his name Just now, but he is known out here as WarringtonParrot & Co." The consul general was genuinely shocked. "You can't blame me for thinking things." went on Mallow. "What man wouldn't? Ask her about Warrington. You'll find that I'm tellihg the truth, all right." "If you are, then she has made on» of those mistakes women make when they travel alone. I shall see her at tea and talk to her. But I do not thank YOU. Mallaw. tar ,000; Bartels, $4,000; J. H.
