they are going to be poevlsh and Iretful and complalnine or good sports;

upon recipes from stardard cook
books and experimental kitchens for
satislsctory results.
The following recipes have been
triple-tested and illustrate several of
the principles of baking with soda:
Bran Brown Br¢ld
One cup bran, 1 cup sour milk,
half cup raisins, 1 tablespoon mo-
ld-SSGS. half cup sugar, 1 cup flour. 1
teaspoon soda, 1-4 teaspoon salt.
Mix together the bran. sour milk
and raisins, then add the molasses,
Suilar and flour which has been
sifted with the soda. and salt. Put
the mixture into a greased can:
cover tightly and swam for three
hours. A 12-ounce baking powder
can is suitable size. Yield: 2 1-2-
ounce cans.
Soda in the next recipe reacts
with the brown sugar and helps
[develop a mild but rich chocolate
flavor.

A good deal depends on what kind
of wood you have to deal with as
to how you treat it, For instance
oak is a wood which needs quits a
lot of oil rubbed into it, to keep it
looking rich and dark, with those
,lovely golden lights showing hero
and there. So if you have oak fur-
niture, after the washing process
have some linseed oil, and with a
soft cloth rub this well into the
wood all over. Do not try to polish
the wood straight away. but leave
it for about an hour and then pol-
ish it. You will be delighted to sas
how rich the wood looks. By the
,way, remember that it is not neces-
,sary to use a lot of furniture pol-
ish or cream; in fact, to do so de.
feats your own ends, for it gives
a heavy, bluish look.
Walnut, rosewood, mahogany, or,
in fact, any other polished woods,

CHAPTER 16
John Sawyer appeared almost at
once when Jean ushered their guest
into the small living room. She
breathed a sigh of relief when she
saw that her father had donned his
coat. That was the one amenity of
home me to which ne round it dif-
ficult, seemingly, to subscribe.
She guessed rightly that he had
oburved the arrival from his fav-
orite chair by the front window.
"Mr. Sturges. this is my father."
“How are you, sir?" Mark ex-
tended his hand with an engaging
smile. "I want to take the blame
for this before Miss Sawyer does. I
have invited myself to dinner. I
hope you'll be good enough to tell
me it’s all right.”
“Of course it is," Sawyer return-

at Jean a trifle quimically ng she
slipped her ann through his.
“I told Mr.-Sturges he was taking

suppose there is something in the
kitchen to reward him?"
“Pm very sure time is," her rath-
er agreed. “Suppose I go and ex-

"No indeed. You'f'e going to enter.

"Upstairs, I think."

without waiting for an invitation.
"Dwi Mrs- Sawyer permit sinoiong»

"And will you have one of these?"`
"Please do," his host said quickly.
I-le declined the proffered cigarets.
“I used to be a papa addict, but I,
have not smoked for several years
now." There was the suglaatlod of
a smile at the corners of his thin

"A foolish habit at best." He sensed
the man sitting opposite was All at
ease despite his calm demeanor, and
plunged briskly into conversation.
"Mfrs Sawyer was exceedingly
kind to me this evening. I took the
liberty of asking her to ding with

home and feed her family. I couldnt
resist asking if I might come too

the sensation of sitting down to a

"I know." Sawyer agreed. "It is a
great treat when one has been . .
away from homa for p time."
Mark changed the theme twbfully.
To the subject that held a com-
mon intcnest. .
"I have been receiving some very
nies reports about Misa 5awyer's
work down at thostcro. I suspect
that she's too modest to tell you,
but Smory Stewart is very enthus-

“But you see, Mr. Bowyer, she,
loves you. That‘s the answer." '|
"Yes. Bunkie's always stuck by
her dad." Pride mingled with re-
gret. ’
Sturges was quick to catch the pet
name that had slipped out uncon-
sciously. Iie liked it.
"She would," he agreed. “But you
have the chance now to make it up
to her. And you will. May I ask if
you have been successful in finding
a business connection?"
"No, sir. Not yet. I still have a.
number of people I wish to see. I;
hope to get something soon. 1 must.
His mouth twisted in a wry smile.

"Forget it. I fancy positions are
not too plentiful. But there are sl-
ways places for men of ability . _ .
employers who are broad enough to
value futures."
“You are very encouraging, Mr.
Sturges. I am willing to accept any-
thing that is respectable _ . . any-
thing that will give me a start
again."
“You’11 find it. I . . . He1lol~And
who is this?" .
Peggy Sawyer stood in the dining
room doorway, eyes downcsst and
visibly embarrassed. Clinging to her
sister’s skirts was Mad8¢. Ptering at
the visitor in wide-eyed curiosity.
Sturges left his chair immediately
and approached th, newcomers.
"I'1l bet Mis Joan sent you in
to meet the company, didn't she?
She's told you who I am, and now
I’m I'm going to tell you who you
are. See if I can‘t guess. This young
lady is Miss Peggy. And the little girl

with the d01l is . . . Mldle?" He
seated himself on the couch and
patted its seat invitlngiy. "I should
think you'd bring your baby over
here and let me see her."
“She's 1 new one," Madge con-
nded suddenly. She came over and
laid the doll in sturges'_ lap. “Daddy
brought her- to me."
“Bhe‘s beautiful. What ‘name
have you given her?"
T‘Nanette."
“Of course. It's a pretty name."
He inspected. the toy with interest,
then. looked over at the door.
"That’s a clever bit of wood-carv-
ing. Your work?"
."A friend." John, Sawyer explain-
cd'brleily_
» "I like her.” Mark assured Madge,
“But I think you‘d better hold her
for me. I'm not much used tc bab-
. I might drop hor. That
wouldn’t do. Did you know I have
two sisters? I have."
Peggy shyly helped .herself to I.
seat at his side to listen.
"Their names are Elizabeth and
Mary Ellen. Both of them are oldsr
than I and they’ve bossed me ter-
ribly, ever amos I can remember.
Does your big sistr boss you?" ha
asked of Peggy, lowering his voice.
"No . . . no, slr. Not very much.”
"Then you're lucky. I’ve always
believed that/s what big sisters were
made for."
“Jean’s always makin' me wash,"
Madge contributed hopefully.
“I knew lt. Behind your ears, I
expect.”
"Ah-huh."
"I know all about that. For some
reason, sisters think they must be
fussy about necks and ears. Now
ming . . . We're talking about you,"
he broke of! to tell Jean as she en-
tered the room, flushed from he;
preparations in the kitchen. .
“Min Sturges, I want you to meet
my brother. This is John."
"And I am very glad tc make your
acquaintance," was the guest's cor-
dial greeting. “This is tha whole
family, isn't it?"
"All but the most important
member . . . Mumsy," Jean sug-
gested hastily in an endeavor tc
divert attention from John Junior
who was regarding Sturges almost
belligerently after a brief hand-
shake. “Our supper is ready," shi
added. “That is. all it is tonight."
