MY H The Two Telegrams That Came From Dicky Over my mother-inlaw’'s howed head I signaled Mrs, Titer imperative- Iy to send for Lillian, for I was much alarmed at the paroxysm of wteping | which had seized her while recalling u memory of her dead daugnter's childhood.” Sle had borne up &0 bravely ever since the news of the awful accident, with a strength so un- natural, and a compyosure so uncom- | mon, that I was terrified lest this sud- | den emotional bregkdown might not prove too much feor her weak heart. But Lillian’s fate was reassuring, and when she had helped me to lift the pitifully exhaasted old figure in- to bed, she seiz*d the first oppor- tunity to whisper encouragingly: “She's all right. This is the best thing that could have happened. She was setting altecgether too terrific a pace for her age and strength. If we can just get her to sleep for awhile, she'll wake up refreshed.” But inducing sleep for my motner- In-law’s tautened nerves was a thing more casily sugegsted than per- formed. “She’lay quiet, exhausted, but wakeful for several hours after her outburst/of sobs, and she ~wegan a restless tosdng with an occasional plaintive “If I could only sleep,” which trgged insistantly at my sympathies, At last I wentured on mn exp:ditnt which at any other tifhe I would not have dared suggest'to Dicky’s| dignified parent. But her need was | 80 patent and so great that I took my courage in both hands. “Mother, dear,”! 1 said softly, “don’t you suppose if I knelt down here by | the side of the bed and held you in my arms, you might be able to get to sleep?” Soothing Her to Sleep Her eyebrows drew down into w scowl, but it vanished almost at once, and she looked up at me pathetically. “You might try,” she saild doubt- fully. » I promptly sank on my knees and slipped my arms around her, draw- | ing her head agaiust my shoulder, | At first 1 simply let her rest there, | but after a little I began to stroke | her’ forehead softly, nni at last ven- | tured to begin a low crooning of the melodies with which 1 somerimes | in deflance of all modern child cul- | turists, put Junior to sleep. Her tace | was hidden from me, and 1 did not | know what success, If any, the ex-| peddent was having, until Lililan came intp the room, and with a searching glance at her, and a careful listening to her breathing, nodded to me, and with infinite pains took the frail old form from my stiffened arms and lald her back upon her pillows, “Good work, Madge,” she when we had stolen softly from the room. “If nothing wakens her, she ought to sleep for hours.” | “Nothing shall waken her,” I said | grimly, and set such a wateh upon Kugie's shrill volee and noisy move- ments that 1 think my little mald was almost upon the point of rebel- lion several times during the after- noon.

Poor Willlam was as unlike- e i “I can guess their kind,” Lillian interrupted. “I have seen them many times. But, unfortunately, the law won't consider their emotional re- actions, not at first, anyway.

During these winter days when meat appears almost daily in some form or other left-overs have a way of accumulating. These must be worked up in meat pies, hash, croquettes, creamed on toast or stews according to the kind and cut of meat, Croquettes offer the most attractive way of using up left-overs. Lamla veal, tender roast pork, poultry and fish are most appetizing used this way. The meat must he carefully pre- pared. Every bit of skin, fat or gristie must be discarded. The meat is then minced and added to the sauce as it is removed from the fire, Do not overcook the meat, Care must be taken in crumbing and egging. Every particle of the surface of a crogquette must be cov- cred with erumbs and egg. Carcloss. ness in this may cause the croquette to break during frying. A croquette should bhe soft and creamy inside after frying. The coat- g should be erisp but tender. The meat I8 -combined with a smooth cream sauce bound with egg, mashed potato or rice. The rice and potato combinations are easier to han- die and require less skill in shaping. Very often cheap outs of meat can be boiled and used in croquettes for a formal luncheon to advantage, If lamb chops are heyond your pocket- bogk but a cheap cut of lamb, boll it and carefully plek it over and mince | it.
