10 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Spring Lamb and Mint Sauce March is the month for spring lamb just as April is the time t'or early vio lets and other sorts of spring beauties. Mint sauce is always mentioned in the same sentence with lamb ami yet many cooks do not know how to serve the two articles in combination. Other things, like new potatoes, asparagus, green peas and spinach are more fre quently eaten with this meat. An ex cellent recipe for making mint sauce is this one: Chop the spearmint very fine and add enough vinegar to cover it and sugar to suit your taste. Let this stand tightlv covered for an hour or longer and serve with the meat. The mint must be washed through many waters to remove all the sand or dust that flings and then all the coarse fibres and stems must be discarded. Spring lamb is small so that the cuts are not like those of mutton but art "halves" or quarters. The fore-quarter is the more choice. Lamb chops are seldom from spring lamb but from small or young sheep. The finest chops are at least two Inches in thickness; if you have them cut thinner you cannot cook them to best advantage. The only way in which tbey should be cooked is by broiling. The heat should be high at first, and may be reduced after they arc started / _ „ 12 Doses 10c Trial Will Convince U 30 Doses 25c At All Druggists For Headaches, Neuralgia Quick —Safe—Sure *■ HOTEL IROQUOIS South Carolina Avenue & Beach ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Grauel cooking. When they are thoroughly done serve with mashed potato and peas. A fore-quarter of lamb comprises i shoulder, neck and breast, it weighs I from seven to ten pounds and needs to be roasted two hours. If von do .not serve mint sauce with it sprinkle lit over with lemon juice as this im proves its delicate flavor. Boiled leg of lamb is delicious eat ing. The time required for cooking this depends on the size of the cut. It is usually served with parsley sftuce or with spinach. A lamb dish that is .justly popular is ispinach and lamb cutlets. The cutlets 'are taken from the tied: and must be well trimmed. Kgg and bread them and fry in deep fat. Steam the spinach or boil it and drain very well and use it to garnish the meat. Lamb pie seems to be the natural ending of a left-over bit of lamb or mutton and this is right, for it is en joyed by ail the family. Cut off the lean meat from the bones in nice, small pieces, season and place in small bak jing dishes for individual serving or in a large pie dish. An under crust is not used for it sometimes becomes moist j before the pie is served.

Le Comte de Sabron, ia the undress uniform of captain in the Cavalry, eat smoking and thinking. What is the use of being thirty years old with the brevet of captain and much distinction of family if you are a poor man—in short, what is the good of anything if you are alone in the world and no one cares what becomes of you? He rang his bell, and when his ordonnance appeared, said sharply: "Que diable is the noise in the sta ble, Brunet? Don't yon know that when I smoke at this hour all Taras con must be kept utterly silent?" Tarascon is never silent. No French meridional town is, especially in the warm sunlight of a glorious May day. "The noise, mon Capitatno," said Brunet, "is rather melancholy." "Melancholy!" exclaimed the young officer. "It's infernal. Stop it at once." The ordonnance held his kepi in his ' hand. He had a round good-natured 1 face and kind gray eyes that wert j used to twinkle at his master's humot I and caprices. "I beg pardon, mon Capitaine. but ; a very serious event is taking place." j "It will be more serious yet, Brunet, if you don't keep things quiet." "I am sorry to tell, mon Capitaine, j that Michette has just died." "Michette!" exclaimed the master. "What relation is she of yours, Bru- , net?' "Ah, mon Capitaine," grinned the or donnance, "relation! None! It is the ! little terrier that Monsieur le Capi | taine may have remarked now and | then in the garden." Sabron nodded and took his cigarette I out of his mouth as though in respect for the deceased. "Ah, yes," he said, "that melancholy little dog! Well, Brunet!" "She has just breathed her last, ! mon Capitaine, end she is leaving be* ! I hind her rather a large family." I "I am not surprised," said the officer. • "There are six.'' vouchsafed Brn . net. "of which, if mon Captaine is j willing, I should like to keep one." ! "Nonsense," said Sabron, "on no ac- ' count. You know perfectly well, Bru- ! net. that I don't surround myself with i things that can make me suffer. I I have not kept a dog in ten years. I j try not to care about my horses even, j Everything to which I attach myself dies or causes me regret and pain. ; | And I won't have any miserable little j puppy to complicate existence." [ "Bien, mon Capitaine," accepted the i ordonnance tranquilly. "I have given j | away five. The sixth is in the stable; if Monsieur le Capitaine would come ! down and look at it . . Sabron rose, threw his cigarette I »way and, following across the' garden ; . I - %>''! Sabron Looked at the Letter. In the bland May light, went into the stable where Madame Mlchette, a small wire-haired Irish terrier had given oirth to a fine family and her self gone the way of those who do their duty to a race. In the straw at his feet Sabron saw a ratlike, unpre possessing little object, crawling about feebly in search of warmth and nour ishment, uttering pitiful little cries. Its extreme loneliness and helpless ness touched-the big soldier, who said curtly to his man: "Wrap it up, and if you don't know how to feed it I should not be sur prised if I could induce it to take a little warm milk from a quill. At all events we shall have a try with It. Fetch it along to my rooms." And as he retraced his steps, leav ing bis order to be executed, he thought to himself: The little beggar Is not much more alone in the world than I am! As he said that he re called a word in the meridional patois: Pitchoune, which means "poor little thing." "I shall call It Pitchoune," he thought, "and we shall see if it can t do better than its name suggests." He went slowly back to his rooms and busied himself at his table with his correspondence. Among the let ters was an invitation from the Mar quise d'Esclignac, an American mar ried to a Frenchman, and the great lady of the country thereabouts. "Will you not," she wrote, "come to dine with us on Sunday? I have my niece with me. She would be glad to •ee a French soldier. She has ex pressed such a wish. She comes from a country where soldiers are rare. We | aine at eigne. Sabron looked at the letter and Its fine clear handwriting. Its wording was less formal than a French Invita tion Is likely to be, and It gave him a sense of cordiality. He had seen, during his rides, the beautiful lines of the Chateau d'Esclignac. Its tur rets surely looked upon the Rhone. There would be a divine view from the terraces. It would be a pleasure to go there. He thought more of what the place.would be than of the people In It, for he was something of a her mit, rather a recluse, and very re served. He was writing a line of acceptance when Brunet came in, a tiny bundle in his hand. "Put Pitchoune over there in the sunlight," ordered the officer, "and we shall see 11 we can bring him up by hand." CHAPTER 11. Julia Redmond. He remembered all his life the first dinner at the Chateau d'Esclignac, where from the terrace he saw the Rhone lying under the early moon light and the shadows falling around ' the castle of good King Rene. As he passed in, his sword clanking —for he went in full dress uniform to dine with the Marquise d'Esclignac— he saw the picture the two ladies made in their drawing-room: the marquise I in a very splendid dress (which he j never could remember) and her niece, a young lady from a country who3o i name it took him long to learn to pro nounce, in a dress so simple that of course he never could forget it! He remembered for a great many years the fall of the ribbon at her pretty waist, the bunch of sweet peas at her girdle, and he always remembered the face that made the charm of the pic ture. Their welcome to him was gracious, i The American girl spoke French with | an accent that Sabron thought be -1 wilderingly charming, and he put aside ! some of his reserve and laughed and talked at his ease. After dinner (this he remembered with peculiar distinct i ness) Miss Redmond sar.g for him, and I although he understood none of the words of the English ballad, he learned the melody by heart and it followed with him when he left. It went with | him as he crossed the terrace into the moonlight to mount his horse; it went home with him; he hummed it, and when he got up to his room he hummed it again as he bent over the little roll of flannel in the corner and fed the puppy hot milk from a quill. This was painstaking operation and required patience and delicacy, both of which the big man had at hia finger-tips. The tune of Miss Red j mond's song did for a lullaby and the | puppy fell comfortably to sleep while ! ! Sabron kept the picture of his eve- j j ning's outing contentedly in his mind | ! But later he discovered that he was not so contented, and counted the! ; hours when he might return. He shortly made a call at the Cha- j ; teau d'Esclignac with the result that j he had a new picture to add to his col- | lection. This time it was the picture j | of a lady alone; the Marquise d'Es i ciignac doing tapestry. While Sabron i | found that h» had grown reticent j again, he listened for another step and i another voice and heard nothing; but before he took leave there was a hint j of a second invitation to dinner. ( The marquise was very handsome j | that afternoon and wore yet anothei j bewildering dress. Sabron's simple! | taste was dazzled. Nevertheless, she I made a graceful picture, one of beau ! ! ty and reflaement, and the young sol- I dier took it away with him. As his j horse began to trot, at the end of the , alley, near the poplars at the lower | end of the rose terrace he caught a | glimpse of a white dress (undoubtedly ! i a simpler dress than that worn by i j Madame d'Esclignac). CHAPTER 111. A Second Invitation. "I don't think, mon Capitaine, that It j is any use," Brunet told his master. Sabron, in his shirt-sleeves, sat be j fore a table on which, in a basket, lay j Mlchette's only surviving puppy. It was a month old. Sabron already knew i I how "bright its eyes, were and "now al- ! ■ luring its young ways. "Be still, Brunet," commanded the officer. "You do not come from the Bouth or you would be more sanguine. I Pitchoune has got to live." The puppy's clumsy adventuresome feet bad taken him as far as the high road, and on this day, as It were In order that he should understand the smuggle for existence, a bicycle had cut htm down In the prime or nis youth, and now, according to Brunet, "there wasn't much use!" Pitchoune was bandaged around his hind quarters and his adorabje little head and forepaws came out of the handkerchief bandage. "He won't eat anything from me, mon Capitaine," said Brunet, and Sabron ceremoniously opened the pup py's mouth and thrust down a dose. Pitchoui e swallowed obediently. Sabron had just returned from a long hard day with his troops, and tired out as he was, he forced himself to give his attention to Pitchoune. A second invitation to dinner lay on his table; he had counted the days until this night. It seemed too good to be true, he thought, that another picture was to add itself to his collection! He He had mentally enjoyed the others often, giving preference to the first, when he dined at the chateau; but there had been a thrill In the second caused oy the nuitering 01 tne wnue dress down by the poplar walk. To-night he would have the pleasure of taking in Miss Redmond to dinner. "See. mon Capitaine," said Brunet, "the poor little fellow can't swallow It." The water trickled out from either side of Pltchoune's mouth. The sturdy terrier refused milk in all forms, had done so since Sabron weaned him; but Sabron now returned to his nursery days, made Brunet fetch him warm milk and, taking quill, dropped a few drops of the southing liquid, into which he put a dash of brandy., down Pltchoune's throat. Pitchoune swal lowed, got the drink down, gave a feeble yelp, and closed his eyes. When he opened them the glazed look had gone. The officer hurried into his eve ning clothes and ordered Brunet, as he tied his cravat, to feed the puppy a lit tle of the stimulant every hour until "He Won't Eat Anything From Me." he should return. Pltchoune's eyes : now open, followed his handsome mas ter to the door. As Sabron opened it he gave a pathetic yelp which made the capitaine turn about. "Believe me, mon Capitaine," said the ordonnance with melancholy fa tality, "It is no use. If I am left with Pitchoune it will be to see him die. 1 know his spirit, mon Capitaine. He lives for you alone." "Nonsense," said the young officer impatiently, drawing on his gloves. Pitchoune gave a plaintive wail from the bandages and tried to stir. "As for feeding him, mon Capitaine," the ordonnance threw up his hands, "he.will be stiff by the time . . ."
