OFFICER O'DAY looked puzzled
when h sleek town car slid to
a stop In front of the Martin Jew
elry company and the chauffeur sat
woodenly indifferent while the car’s
other occupant fumbled with the
door handle. Offcer O’Day took
huge steps across the sidewalk to
open the door himself.
An attractive young woman met
his glance with startled eyes and
a quick Hash.
"Thank you so much,” she mur
mured.
The store was deserted except for
Mr. Martin and the bookkeeper bent
over a ledger. Mr. Martin hurried
forward to wait upon the woman.
"I’d like so see some diamond
rings," she said.
Mr. Martin glanced at the woman
curiously. So many of his patrons
nowadays were likely to wear just
slightly shabby clothes. He noticed
that this customer’s fashionable tan
coat and hat looked new and ex
pensive. Even the matching para
sol with its carved handle appeared
unused. Whereupon Mr. Martin
placed his most expensive stock of
diamonds on the counter.
A happy smile lit up the woman's
face ns she selected a ring with
perhaps the largest stone of the dis
play. She tried It on.
"You know," she confided In a
husky voice, "I mnde some money,
a wise Investment, and I decided
I’d enrned a diamond.”
“An excellent Idea; excellent,”
Mr. Martin said, trying to nppenr
nonchalant. She raised her hand to
see the diamond closely. At that In
stant the loop of the parasol slid off
her arm and It hit the floor with a
muffled thud. Quickly the woman
bent to retrieve It.
"These other rings,” she said, "1
wonder If I might carf for one of
them."
A worried frown came to Mr.
Martin’s face. He wanted desper
ately to sell that large diamond.
With anxious eyes he watched her
linger the less expensive dlnmonds
one after another. Mr. Martin
would have been more concerned
had he been able to see the other
side of the counter.
Slowly, very carefully, the wom
an's left hand slid down the handle
of her parasol, down to the frame
work, and dropped the big diamond
among the folds.
The Instant that it dropped the
woman Rlld the other rings Into a
small pile.
“After all,” she said, with a
straight-forward smile. “1 don’t
know which I like best.” She pulled
her gloves. “I’ll return In an hour
or two, when I have decided.
That had been almost too easy,
she thought. She started slowly
away.
Mr. Martin kept pace with her on
his side of the counter.
The woman stopped short when
she saw a display of beautiful bags.
“Oh, aren’t they adorable?” Instant
ly Mr. Martin was placing a half
dozen on the counter.
Glancing at her tiny jeweled wrist
watch the woman said doubtfully,
“I really shouldn't." Jim out there
In the car would be fuming with
nervousness. They had planned
that she would take no longer than
fifteen minutes. The motor would
be running, they would drive quick
ly a fewT blocks Into a certain ga
rage. Their clothing was laid out.
She knew, too. that even ns they
donned the clothes that would so
change their appearance, the men
In the garnge would be rushing
through the paint job that would
make the big car unrecognizable.
But w’hat of live minutes and
Jim’s uneasiness, the woman thought
contemptuously. Leisurely she
opened the hags, compared them.
There was one. a rich dark one
thnt she seemed to prefer. When
she turned away from the counter
It lay at the bottom of her parasol.
She heard herself murmur things
—no, not today after nil. once
more she glanced at her watch.
Slightly more than five minutes had
elapsed while she had examined the
bags. Her heart bent a little faster.
But still she talked pleasantly to
Mr. Martin as she walked to the
door, and then. Involuntarily, she
took a deep breath.
“Nice little rain. ’ Mr. Martin said
behind her.
Nice little rain!
She hesitated with the door part
ly open when Office O’Day came
Into view. He was smiling broadly.
“Just an April shower, only started
five minutes ago,” he said and then
reached for her parasol. “Allow
me—’’
“No, oh, no," the woman said, nno
her voice sounded strangely excit
ed. “It doesn't work." she explained
quickly.
Patrick O'Day would never have
It known that as little a thing as a
Indy’s parasol ever refused to yield
to him.
“Oh, I can tlx It." he said confi
dently and pulled the pnrsol from
the woman’s conclusive grip.
With nightmarish clarity, the
woman beheld several scenes the
next Instant: Patrick O'Day raised
the parasol, peering at It, Then the
dull thud of a beaded hag as It hit
i 'he sidewalk and the lighter tinkle
of a diamond ring ns It bounded In
to the gutter. That amazed exp res
slon on the officer's face; Mr. Mar
tin yelling h.ntrsely and Jim, the
rat, pulling away from the curb,
r itlttn down the street, alone I
Keep Assortment of Sauces
Always Well to Have Supply on Shelves, Since Nothing
Adds to Soup, for Instance. Like a Dash of
Worcestershire or Ketchup.
Almost all housekeepers keep on
the pantry shelves a supply of the
better known sauces. At least chill
sauce, ketchup, one of the Worcester
shire style sauces, tabasco or one of
the other sharp sauces of the same
type are usually to he found among
these supplies, bometimes we find,
ns well, mushroom and walnut
ketchup, anchovy essence, chutney
and occasionally soy sauce.
In some households ihese sauces
are used only as table accessories.
They will appear with meat and
Ash, to he added to their imlividnl
taste. In the household where cook
ing is practiced as an art, we And,
however, that they are used as con
diments ns well to Anvor soups and
sauces, canapes and sandwiches.
It seems to me that a dash of Wor
cestershire or a tablespoon of ketch
up, for Instance, often lilts a soup
from the usual ro the unusual. A
tablespoon or two of chill sauce or
chutney added to a plain drawn but
ter or white sauce gives a flavor In
describable hut nppetlKing. It Is dif
ficult to give special recipes for the
addition of these sauces to ordinary
tyoils, because all of these blendings
should he made to tnste—good tnste.
The good cook Is not afraid to expe
riment with seasonings, but she
knows that they must be used with a
light hand. Prejudice against cer
tain seasonings has invariably been
engendered by an over use of them
when they were introduced. There
is curry, for Instance. How many
times, says a food expert, I have
found that persons who say they
"Just can't benr curry" ask lor sec
ond helpings of hartford sauce. This
sauce, by the way, Is wonderful with
lobster, crab and shrimp, served as a
cocktail er as a mnln supper course.
The sauce popularly known ns vin
aigrette Is made differently by nl
most every cook. Its basis Is a french
dressing and It can be varied In any
way you like. Chopped watercress
and minced celery are often used In
stead, us an addition to the Ingred
ients suggested In the recipe given
today. I
I often use these to flavor creamed
butter to spread sandwiches or
canapes. This gives a flavoring foun
dation, no matter what is the rest of
the tilling or garnish. One of the
easiest and best hot canapes to serve
with cocktails is made of rounds or
finger lengths of bread, spread with
ketchup butter and then baked until
light brown and crisp.
A dash of one or more of these
sauces Is often an addition to the
flavor of a tomato Juice cocktail. I
also like a dash of tarragon vinegar
for this purpose. Have you noticed
that every hostess has her own spe*
cial recipe for this popular first
course beverage? "To taste” Is the
best directions for seasoning It, but
have plenty of seasonings on hand to
make the perfect flavor.
