BB, Monticello, m—— A BACHELOR CHANGES HIS ¢ MIND g (eo POOOOOROHEOPOPNERPHPODEHEE (© by D. J. Walsh.) UGH MUNSON was a bachelor. He was most emphatic in his statements that he would re- main a bachelor to the last, And that he had reached the age of forty-three without marrying and would travel through the rest of his days unmarried. He wanted to be ‘free. . . J to. explore hitherto unexplored lands... .. . to come and go as his fancy willed. Who would want a better home than a hotel? Who would want more comforts than the service obtained in such places? He scorned the tidy little houses of his friends . . . gingerly patted the heads of thelr offsprings and then put a definite distance between him- self and their sticky hands. He didn’t want a house to be responsible for + « «Clectrie Nght bills , . furnace cleaners ., . . faulty plumb- ing . . . maids , . . whooping cough . . , {Insurance policies . . decorators. “ +» + and that's-final,” he had declared decisively from the depths of a big chair in his sister's living room on the first evening of his return from a two years’ trip to Africa. “I—shall —never—marry. The next six months I will spend here writing up my last trip for my publishers and then I'm off again . . . free as the wind . « .” He turned to his nephew, Rob- ert Beveridge, who occupied another big chair near by. “You will be my heir, Bobbie, my boy . . . that is, if you will get this notion out of your head about going in business instead of taking up law as your mother wants you to do.” His nephew smiled as he crushed a cigarette butt against the ash tray. “You're a fine one to talk, Unk. Grandfather wanted you to be a min- ister—mother told me so—and besides, he was in favor of marriage and look at you—just a vagabond of the wind- ing road, except that you have enough money to buy railroad and steamer tickets. I don’t want to be a lawyer, but I'll compromise with you, you old fossil! I'll make a wager with you that before six months are up—you will be asking some girl to marry you . . . to share your name and fortune. A new roadster against my pledge that I will go to college this fall and study law that within the next six months you'll fall in love and fall hard! You have been out of touch with civilization so long you don’t know what white women look like, but just you—wait. That's fair, isn’t it, mother?” Hugh Munson’s sister smiled indul- gently, and nodded. The traveler laughed. “All right, shake on it! A new roadster—any color—any make, against your promise to be a lawyer— but I've won before we start. Love— marriage—bah! Responsibilities? Not for me!” A maid came to the door, followed by a short, smiling faced little wom- an whose open coat displayed a white linen uniform. “Hello, folks. I'm on a case down in the next block—typhoid, and was out for a breath of air so thought I'd run in. Oh why, Hugh Munson, you old tramp! I haven't seen you since let me see, when we three were how in high school together , . . many years ago . . .” “And if it isn’t Cara Smedley . or what is the name, now, Cara? I recall Marion telling me a long time ago of your marriage . . . .” died last “Listen, Hugh. Wesley year, you know. And I'm working again . . «SO “And supporting the loveliest fam- ily of four children you ever saw. How is Billie, and Junie, and baby and Albert, Cara? My goodness, but Albert is getting so tall and manly.” “All fine,” answered the family’s smiling mother. “Billie fell off the porch yesterday and bumped his nose and Junie locks like chicken pox and baby cries for an hour straight every time I leave her and Albert spends all his nickels at the candy store, but outside of that, they are just beauti- ful, every one of them!” Robert Beveridge looked across the table at his mother one morning and his eyes were troubled. “Well, mother, guess the odds are against me. You'll have a lawyer son after all, I guess. That old Beau Brummel brother of yours! He is a knockout in evening clothes and all the girls are crazy about him. Kay says she has tried all her wiles on him—nothing doing! Marjorie tells me he calls her ‘child’ and patronizes her! Kay says he is the hardest man in New York to flirt with although he dances with her all the time and tells her she is pretty and would like to kidnap her and all that bosh that mid- dle-aged men hand out to pretty girls, Kay is getting tired of the conspiracy, I guess. We didn’t think he would be so hard to win over. We are going to have Estelle Taton out to Mar- jorie’s house party next week and Estelle will bowl him over. . . She's a stunner, and just begged for an in- troduction the other night at the club. Says Unk is her idea of handsome, dis- tinguished . . . and all that stufy !” Estelle’s charms proved all in vain. Hugh Munson played golf with her, rode horseback with Marjorie Norris, sang with Delicia Evans, danced with Kay Vandergrift and talked China with Mary Manning. They all vied for his favor. The house party broke up sooner than was expected, because he announced his intention of driving back to New York at noon instead of late evening. When he left Kay and Marjorie were in the seat with him, and Delicia and Mary were in the rumble seat. | The confirmed bachelor-explorer donned evening clothes three nights a week and accompanied his nephew and members of Robert's set into the gay whirl of New York's night life, He seemed to thoroughly enjoy him- self, He continued to write in an effort to appease the demands of an anxious publisher, and at the end of the fifth month, Robert wrote to the university for their curriculum. Kay was again wearing his frat pin, Marjorie was hinting of her engage- ment to Alex Treadgold, long and ar- dent suitor; Delicia had decided to go on the stage, and always generous, Hugh Munson had offered to back her. She had refused with tear-filled eyes. Estelle Tanton was planning a win- ter in Europe and had hinted that she would expect Hugh to stop and see her when he was on the continent, ai- though he had not mentioned his im- pending journey. Robert was sitting before the fire- place reading the recently arrived lit- erature from college. His mother was reading close by. Hugh Munson came in, and with his hands deep in his pockets, he stood before the fireplace and faced his sister and nephew. “What's the booklet, Bobbie, lad?” he asked. “Oh, you win, you old woman-hat- ing antique! I never did think you would hold out with all those girl— but you win! I'm going to college— and study law! Mother benefits any- way through our bet. And she has promised me the car that you were going to buy me, after you proposed to one of the girls.” “That car,” spoke Hugh Munson slowly, “will be delivered early in the morning, Bobbie, and you might drive your mother down to the station to see Cara and me off on our wedding trip. We will be gone only a week, on ac- count of the babies! Can't leave them alone with a maid very long. You my . : \ knew, Marion, that Junie is a smart little tike and baby—why, she just yells when I come in the door and stretches out her hands to me. Wish you would look in on them while we are away; we'll feel better if we know you are keeping an eye on our family —and if you hear of a good nurse, tell her to come up and see me when we get back, Cara is to have an easier time from now on, And Albert says he is going to own a garage when he finishes school. Can you beat that? And say, Marion, if you know of a good plumber, tell him to go and look at the bathroom on the third floor, there is something wrong and I didn't have time to attend to it.” Motorist Says Fox Can Run 30 Miles an Hour Further light on the speed with which animals can run is found in the experience of a Washington motorist over a side road of the Eastern shore. This motorist is ready to state that a fox can run at least 30 miles an hour. It came about when the motorist, driving along leisurely, saw something running in a field to the right of the road and sped up a bit to see what it might be. Just as he came to the end of a hedge along the road, the fox jumped out into the middle of the road, in- tent on reaching a cornfield on the other side. Seeing the car and per- haps, even more startling to him, hear- ing it, for it was well equipped with rattles and squeaks, he made a hur- ried break for the cornfield, but found a barbed wire fence blocking his way. Turning in a panic, it sped down the middle of the road, its body almost touching the ground as it stretched out in a swift run. Accelerating, the motorist came within a few feet of the fox and then maintained the gap separating them. The speed increased until the car was making 30 miles an hour, with the fox just a few jumps ahead. Whether the fox could have “stepped on it” a bit more is not known for the motorist allowed the fox to set the pace. Perhaps if the animal had been pressed, it might have stretched the speed up a few miles an hour. The race continued for perhaps a quarter of a mile, when the fox seeing a gap in the fence, went through it in two or three quick jumps, then slowed down to a sort of high-bouncing run, and was soon lost in the corn, Famous London Bridges Old London bridge, begun about 1170, was completed in 1209. It car- ried a row of timber houses, which were frequently burned down, but the main structure existed until the begin- ning of the Nineteenth century. The old bridge was the center for book- sellers and other tradesmen, On it stood the chapel of St. Thomas of Canterbury and a tower on which the heads of traitors were exposed to view. The present London bridge was begun in 1824, and completed in 1831. It is borne on five granite arches, is | 028 feet long, 65 feet wide, and 56 feet above the river. Lemming an Odd Creature The head of a scientific expedition into the Arctic region reports that | they. were unable to obtain many of | the small land mammals, as trapping is impracticable during the brief stops and under the midnight sun. The past year or two has been notable for a shortage of all smaller mammals, particularly Arctic hares and lem- mings. The lemmings occur at times in countless millions, forming abun- dant food for foxes, and their recur- ring periods of scarcity and abun- dance are reflected in the fur returns of the Arctic regions, AVOID GUESSWORK WITH RIB ROAST BEEF THE PATTON COURIER Rib Roast With Yorkshire Pudding. (Prepared by the United States Department J of Agriculture.) Probably at no point is the inex- perienced cook so doubtful of suc- cess as when she attempts to serve roast meat for dinner. Steaks and chops and all the small meats, cooked in plain sight on top of the stove, are fairly simple; but when you've shut your dinner up in the oven and have to keep peeping at,it to guess when it's done—the outside generally looks done right away!—and you realize that ou hardly ever have roasts any- way, just for two—you go through an agony of uncertainty until the carv- ing knife reveals your results. As a matter of fact, all this guess- work and anxiety about roasting meat can be very easily avoided. A roast meat thermometer can be purchased for a comparatively small sum, and with it you can tell to a nicety when your meat should be taken from the oven, according as you may want it rare, medium, or well-done. The ther- mometer is thrust into the thickest part of the meat, and when it reg- isters a given temperature, the inside of the meat, which you cannot see, will be ‘as you want it, These directions for cooking a rib roast of beef, given by the bureau of home economics, will explain how the roast meat thermometer is used. “Select a two or three-rib standing roast. Wipe it off with a damp cloth, rub with pepper, salt, and flour. Place the roast fat side up in an open pan without water. As the fat melts and cooks out it will baste the meat. Make a small incision through the fat cov- ering and insert a roast meat ther- mometer so that the bulb reaches the center of the roast. Place the meat in a hot oven (500 degrees Fahrenheit). Sear the meat for 20 or 30 minutes until lightly browned, then reduce the oven temperature to about 300 degrees Fahrenheit and continue the cooking until the thermometer in the meat reads about 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a rare roast, 160 degrees Fahren- heit for a medium roast, or 180 de- grees Fahrenheit for a well-done roast. A rib roast will probably re- quire 16 minutes to the pound to be rare, 22 minutes to the pound to be medium, and about 30 minutes to the pound to be well done. Higher oven temperatures than 300 degrees Fahren- helt will shorten the time of cooking, but it will increase the shrinkage of the roast, and both the meat and drip- pings may become too brown. Reduc- ing the oven temperature to 250 de- grees Fahrenheit will decrease the shrinkage markedly and will cook the meat uniformly,.but longer time will be required. “When a rib roast will not stand upright, lay it on a rack in an open pan without water, and insert the roast meat thermometer directly into the center of the lean meat, not through the fat covering as in the standing roast. Baste occasionally during cooking to prevent drying out. “Serve the roast on a hot platter, surrounded by browned potatoes or by squares of Yorkshire pudding.” And if you do not have a recipe for Yorkshire pudding, which is the tradi- tional accompaniment to roast beef, the bureau of home economics will be glad to send you one, as well as sug- gestions on other ways of cooking beef. SUGGESTIONS ON SANDWICH MAKING If Wanted Often Butter Fili- ings Come in Handy. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) If sandwiches are wunted frequently for social occasions try keeping on hand some of the butter fillings that can be made up and kept for several days, suggests the bureau of home economics of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. A cupful of any of these fillings will meet the emer- gency when guests arrive unexpectedly for tea or when you want something to serve with a beverage during the eve- ning. Ground cress, parsley, and some of the winter vegetables, and also grated orange rind, may be used in these but- ter fillings. Wash watercress and drain it thoroughly. Then, using the nut knife of the food grinder, grind up enough watercress to fill a‘cup. Save a few of the best sprigs of cress for decorating the sandwiches or the plate on which they are served. Blend this ground cress with about half a cup of well-creamed butter until it makes a smooth-spreading mixture and season with about a fourth teaspoonful of salt. Only one liberal spreading, on the under part of each sandwich, is nec- essary to distribute the butter filling, so the sandwiches are very quickly made. Crusts are usually trimmed on sandwiches for special occasions, and sometimes cutters of fancy shape are used. The bread is of course cut very thin. To avoid waste spread the fill- ing with regard to the part of each slice that will be used. If the sand- wiches are to be rolled it is best to spread then on the loaf and slice each piece with a very sharp knife. arsley butter is similarly made, with the addition of two tablespocn- fuls of lemon juice to each cup of ground parsley and cach half cup of creamed butter. Carrots, raw cabbage, and celery, may all be ground up, sea- soned, and mixed with butter for fill- ings in about the same proportions— two parts of the vegetable to one of butter. Open-face orange sandwiches are made by spreading a mixture of equal parts of grated orange rind and butter on thin sandwich bread, cut in fancy shapes. No cover slices are used. When these butter mixtures are stored in a cold place, they must of course be worked again to a creamy consistency before spreading. Split Pea Soup Wash and pick over half a pound of split peas and soak them overnight. Cook with four cupfuls of water, a pinch of baking soda, two tablespoon- fuls of bacon cubes, one small onion siiced and a tiny pinch of summer sa- vory. Cook slowly for about three hours, or until the peas are very soft. Press through a sieve and slightly thicken with a tablespoonful of butter or bacon fat rubbed with a tablespoon- ful of flour. Season with salt, pepper and add a few drops of table sauce to each helping. Serve with toasted crackers or eroutons. VARNISHED FLOOR WITH WAXED COAT Reconditioning Should Be| Done Threz Times a Year. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) To recondition a waxed floor, it should occasionally be given a very thin coat ef wax, put on with a wool- en cloth, and polished, if possible, with a weighted brush. This is a good job for which to call in one of the boys in the family or the neighborhood. Pushing one of these weighted w»cl- ishers around is fairly heavy work, but it requires just the sort of mus- cular effort a boy likes to use. Need- less to say, the room should be pre- pared for a waxing of this kind by having the furniture moved out, and the walls, woodwork, and floor com- pletely cleaned and dusted. Waxed floors, says the United States Department of Agriculture, should be swept with a soft brush or mop entirely free from oil. Oil soft- ens wax and should never be used on it in any way. About once a week a waxed floor should be given a more Get the Schoolboy to Help Wax the Floor. thorough cleaning with a cloth wruhg out of warm, soapy water, or moist- ened with turpentine or gasoline. Ap- plying too much wax is a common mistake. Rub white spots with a woolen cloth or weighted brush, ap- plying a little wax if necessary. Keep a slip-on cover on the weighted brush when it is not in use. Never allow it to come into contact with oil. Varnished floors may be swept with a soft brush, a mop, or a broom cov- ered with a cotton-flannel bag, and then rubbed with a cloth or mop slightly moistened with floor oil or kerosene. The oil gradually dries out of varnish after it has been applied to wood, and unless restored by an occasional rubbing with an eiled cloth the varnish becomes exeedingly hard and brittle. Use only enough oil to moisten slightly the cloth or mop. i actually CRYPTIC ENOUGH Educated Egyptian—You have no wonderful hieroglyphics in America, no mysterious inscriptions, no indeci- pherable relict of an ancient literature whose secrets the wise men have tried in vain to discover.
