10 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Eggs and How to Cook Thefri Without Boiling There is no other one article of food that enters quite so frequently into our daily meals as eggs, unless it ba milk, •while milk, eggs and butter form a combination whose food value is well known. But the nutriment in eggs and their ease of digestion entitles them to be considered our most useful food. In most households they are the principal breakfast dish and the va riety of ways in which they may be prepared enhances their value. A sure test of the freshness of eggs is to immerse them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs sink to the bottom and lie on their sides, stale ones sink and stand on end and the older the eggs are the nearer the top of the water they will stay. This is because there is a quantity of ajr in the shells of all eggs and the older they are the more air they contain. Candled eggs are those that are tested against a bright light; if they arc clear and spotless and the yolk, can be seen they are fresh, but if the yolk is mixed with the white and the eggs show a dark interior against the light they should be discarded. It was Emerson who wrote that there was a best way of boiling an egg, but now cooks think that eggs are best when they are cooked without boiling. The way to do this is to heat enough water to cover the eggs and when it is boiling briskly to remove it from the stove and put the eggs in it until it is cold. This will be in about twelve minutes and the eggs will be "soft boiled" to perfection. There used to be a feeling that it was safe to order and eat poached eggs in any eating house for it was well known that only absolutely fresh eggs would poach. But someone akin to the wooden nutmeg manufacturer has invented an egg-poacher of ring CATTLE DISEASE STAMPED OUT 1 Lancaster County Apparently Free 1 After Last Killing Yesterday Marietta, March 20.—Once again : the Federal and State governments have stamped out the mouth and hoof ' disease in Lancaster county, the last cattle killed and were 'buried yester- 1 •lay.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question. —"Please describe method j of making water cress salad f" Reply.—Wash, pick over and drain the cress. For the last use a wire ' basket and let it hang in a cool place i some time as the oil in the dressing ; will not adhere to cress unless the lat j ter is well dried. Rub a salad dish with | a cut onion and place the cress in it j and dress with salad oil and vinegar, [ salt and pepper. Some persons serve ■ the cress on individual salad dishes and then pass the condiments anil the diners ! dress it to please their taste. * * « Question. —"Kindly give directions for chicken and oyster pie?" Reply.—Make the chicken pie in the usual way and when it is finished lift ■ the crust and pour in a small quantity (if stewed oysters chopped, seasoned [and covered with thickened milk. Re turn to the oven for five minutes and 1 serve in the baking dish. * * * Question. —"Many recipes call for 'prepared flour;' is this some'special j brand?" Reply.—Some flours are prepared by having the lightening agent and salt added to them but many housekeepers like to measure the flour, sift it and to every cupful add one teaspoon of baking powder and a salt spoon of salt and sift it again and keep it in a cov ered crock. It is always ready for any cake or biscuit baking and saves time. This method is taught in schools of cookerv. 1 JANE ADDAMS' SISTER DIES 'Mrs. Alice Haldem?n Was Officer of Western Bankers' Association ; Chicago, March 20.—Mrs. Alice Hal demau, of Girard, Kan., sister of Miss jJane Addams, of Hull House, and one of the few women bankers in the Unit ied States, died here vesterdav after- I noon.

It was the wisest thing he could have done, for it re laxed the nerves of both of them. Rlsa smiled, smiled and forgot the substance of all her rehearsals, forgot the letter of credit, warm with the j heat of her heart. "I am a pagan," she confessed. "And lam a barbaAan 1 ought tn be horribly ashamed of myself." "But vou are not?" For a moment tneir eyes drew. Her* were like dark whirlpools, and he felt | himself drifting helplessly, lrresist ! ibly. He dropped his hands upon the | ra'ling and gripped; the Illusion of I tii.iting a current was almost real tr. ! him. Every fiber In his body cried out i against the struggle, j "No, not In the least," he said, look i lng toward the sunset. "Fighting is riff raff business, and I'm only a riff- I raffer at best." j "Katber, aren't you Paul Ellison, brother, twin brother, of the man I said I was going home to marry?" 1 How far away her voice seemed! , The throb in his forehead and the dull : ache over his heart, where some of | the sledge-hammer blows had gone | home, he no longer felt. "Don't deny It. It would be useless. Knowing your brother as I do, who j could doubt it?" He remained dumb. "I couldn't understand, just simply | couldn't. They never told me; in all 1 the years I have known them, in all | the years I have partly made their i home my own, there was nothing. Not a trinket. Once I saw a camera pic | ture. I know now why Arthur snatched j It from my hand. It was you. You j were bending over an engineer's tri ■ pod. Even now I should have doubted ' had I not recalled what you said one i day on board, that you had built ! bridges. Arthur couldn't build any thing stronger than an artist's easel. 1 You are Paul Ellison." "I am sorry you found out." i "Why?" "Because I wanted to be no more than an incident in your life, just Parrot & Co." "Parrot & Co.!" It was like a caress; but he was too dull to sense it, and she was uncon scious of the inflection. The burning sunshine gave to his hair and beard the glistening of ruddy gold. Her imagination, full of unsuspected poetry at this moment, clothed him in the of a viking. There were other whirlpools besides those in her eyes, but Elsa did not sense the drifting as he had done. It was insidious. "An incident," she repeated "Could I be more?" with sudden fierceness. "Could I be any more In any woman's life? I take myself for what I am, bnt the v. orld will always take me for what I have done. Yes, I am Paul Ellison, forgotten, 1 hope, by all those who knew me. Why did you seek me that night? Why did you come into my life to make bitter ness become despair? The blackest kind of despair. Elsa Chetwood, plsa! • . . Well, the consul is right. I am a strong man, 1 can go out of your life, at least physically. I can say that I love you, and I can add to that good-by!" He wheeled abruptly and went quickly down the gallery, bareheaded, without any destination in his mind, with only one thought, to leave her before he lost the last shreds of his self-control. It was then that Elsa knew her heart. She had spoken truly. She was a pagan—for, had he turned and J held out his hands, she would have gone to him. gone with him, anywhere in the world, lawfully or unlawfully. Elsa sang. When Martha camo to help her dress for dinner she still sang. It was a wordless song, a mel- i ody that every human heart contains and which finds expression but once. Elsa loved. Doubt, that arch-enemy of love and faith and hope, doubt had spread its dark pinions and flown away into yes terdays. She felt the zest and exhila ration of a bird just given its free- [ dom. Once she slipped from Martha's cunning hands and ran out upon the gallery. "Elsa, your waist!" Elsa laughed and held put her bare arms to the faded sky where, but a little while since, the sun had burneu a pathway down the world. All In an j hour, one small trifling space of time, this wonderful, magical thing had happened. He loved her. There had been hunger for her In his voice, in his blue eyes. Presently she was go ing to make him feel very sorry that he had not taken her in his arms, '< then and there. "Elsa, what in mercy's name pos sesses you?" "I am mad, Martha, mad as a March hare, whatever that is!" She loved, i "People will think so, if they hap pen to come along and see that waist. Please come instantly and let me fin- I Ish hooking It You act like you did when you were ten. You never would | stand still." "Yes, and I remember how you used i to yank my pigtaila. I haven't really forgiven you yet." "I believe It's going home that's the matter with you. Well, I for one shall be glad to leave this horrid country. Chinamen everywhere, in your room, at your table, under your feet. And in the streets, Chinamen and Malays and Hindus, and I don't know what other outlandish races and tribes. Why, what's all this?" cried Martha, bend ing to the floor. Elsa ran back to the .room. She I gave a little gasp wnen sne saw wnat It was that Martha was holding ou* i for her inspection. It was Warring ton's letter of credit. She had totally | forgotten its existence. Martha could not help seeing It. Elsa explained frankly what It was and how it bad come into her possession. Martha j was horrified. "Elsa, they might have entered i your room; and your jewels lying ■ about everywhere! How could you be : so careless?" "But they didn't. I'll return this to j Mr. Warrlngti.n in the morning; per haps tonight, if I see him at dinner.' "He was In the next room, and we never knew it!" The final hook snapped In "Well, Wednesday our boat leaves;" as If this put a period to all further discussion anent Mr. Parrot & Co. Nothing very serl ous could happen between that time and now. "Wednesday night." Elsa began to sing again, but not so joyously. The petty things of every-day life were lifting their heuds once more, and of necessity she must recognize them. She sat at the consul general's table, Informally. There was gay inconse quential chatter, an exchange of rec ollections and comparisons of cities and countries they had visited at sep- ! arate tiroes; but neither she nor he mentioned the chief subject of thelf j thoughts. She refrained because of a strange yet natural shyness of a woman who has found herself; and j he, because from his angle of vision it was best that Warrington should pass out of her life as suddenly and j mysteriously as he had entered It. I Had he spoken frankly he would have ! saved Elsa many a bitter heartache, j many a weary day. Warrington was absent, and so were | his enemies. If there was any truth ' in reincarnation Elsa was confident I that in the splendid days of Rome she ; had beaten her pink palms in ap- j plause of the gladiators. "Pagan; she j I was all of that; for she knew that she could have looked upon Mallow's face j with more than ordinary interest. ! Nevermore would her cheeks burn at ! the recollection of the man's look. | In her room, later, she wrote two j letters. The one to Arthur covered ! several pages; the other consisted ot ; a single line. She went down to the | office, mailed Arthur's letter and left \ the note in Warrington's key box. It ! was not an intentionally cruel letter ■ she had written to the man in Amer- j ica; but if she had striven toward ! that effect she could not have achieved it more successfully. She cried out ' against the way he had treated his 1 brother, the false pride that had hid- | den all knowledge of him from her. I Where were the charity and mercy \ of which he had so often preached ? : Pages of burning reproaches which seared the soul of the man who read them. She did not confide the state of her heart. It was not necessary. The ! arraignment of the one and the de- ; fense of the .jiher were sufficiently J illuminating. Soundly the happy sleep. She did ' not hear the removal of Warring- j ton s luggage at midnight, for it was stealthily done. Neither did she hear j the fretful mutter of the bird as his I master disturbed his slumbers. Noth-1 ing warned her that he intended to j spend the night on board; that, hav- j ing paid his bill early in the evening, | her note might have lain in the key j box until the crack of doom, so far as j he was likely to know of its existence, i 1 No angel of pity whispered to her, j ! Awrke! No dream magic people tell I ' about drew for her the picture of the ' ' man she loved, pacing up and down : the cramped deck of the packet boat, ; fighting a battle compared to which ' that of the afternoon was play. Flsa I slept on, dreamless. When she awoke in the morning she ran to the mirror—all this fresh beauty she was going to give to him, without condition, without reserva tion, absolutely. She dressed quickly, singing lowly. Fate makes us the hap plest when she is about to crush us. , Usually she had her breakfast 1 served in the room, but this morning i she was determined to go downstairs. \ '• She wast excited; she brimmed with 1 exuberance; she wanted Romance to | begin at once. "Good morning," she greeted the 1 consul general, who was breakfasting alone. "Well, you're an early bird!" he re plied. By the way, our romantic Par rot & Co. have gone." "Gone?" Elsa stared at him. "Yes. Sailed for Saigon at dawn, and I am rather glad to see him go. ! I was afraid he might interest you too much. Good heavens. Elsa, what la the matter?" "No, no! Don't touch me. I'm not [ the fainting kind. Did you know last night that he was going?" "Yes." "I shall never forgive you. Never, never! You knew and did not tell me. Do you know who Paul Ellison j is? He is the brother of the man at home. You knew he was stealing j away and did not tell me." She could not have made the truth any plainer to him. He sat back in i his chair, stunned, voiceless. "I am going to my room," she said. "Do not follow. Please act as if noth- j ing had happened." He saw her walk bravely the length of the dining-room, out into the office What a misfortune! Argument was out of the question. Elsa was not a child, to be reasoned with. She was a woman, and she bad come to a worn an'a understanding of her heart.

He pushed back his chair, leaving his coffee untasted. He possessed the deep understand ing of the kindly heart, and his one thought was Elsa's future happiness Could he save her from the day when she would learn Romance had come from within? No. All he could dc was to help find the man. He sent five cablegrams to Saigon to the consulate, to the principal ho tels—the most difficnlt composition he had ever attacked. But because he had forgotten to send the sixth tc meet the packet boat, against the pos' sibility of Warrington changing his mind and not landing, his labor was thrown to the winds. Meantime Elsa stopped at the office desk. "I left a note for Mr. Warring ton who has gone to Saigon. I see it in his key box. Will you please re turn it to me?" The clerk did not hesitate an in stant. He cravelv returned the note •to her, marveling at her paleness. Elsa crushed the note in her hand and moved toward the stairs, wondering If she could reach her room before she broke down utterly. He had gone. He had gone without knowing that all he wanted in life was his for the tak ing. In her room she opened the note and through blurred vision read what she had so happily inscribed the night before "Paul —I love you. Come to me. Elsa." She had written It, unashamed. She flung herself upon the bed, and there Martha found her.
