All vegetables and meat are served in one cas serole and save serving dishes. Is there a blueprint or plan for making menus? That’s a question homemakers ire , quently put to the ' food experts. Yes, there is. Suppose you are given a list of foods to be included in your ' daily diets, a sori of general plan that you can adapt to every day's needs. Can you make out your menus? Here is the blue print: Group I. Green and yellow vege tables. At least one of each kind should be included daily to meet vitamin and mineral requirements of the diet. Group II. At least one serving of oranges, grapefruit or tomatoes to get enough Vitamin C in the diet. A good time to get this requirement in is during breakfast—with the fruit. Group III. Potatoes or other fruit and vegetables to add more min erals and vitamins to the diet. Group IV. Milk or milk products. This may be in the form of milk <1 pint per day for adults, 1 quart for children), fresh or evaporated, and cheese. Group V. Meat, poultry, fish, eggs or dried beans, peas, nuts or pea nut butter. This group is needed to build and repair body tissue. Group VI. Bread, flour and ce reals are required to meet energy needs and the vi tamin B needs of the body, ©c sure that any of these that you use are whole - grain, en rlched or re stored. You would have to eat four . times as much ordinary bread, for example, to get as much nutritional value as one loaf of enriched bread contains. Group VII. Butter or fortified mar garine. Use some of either every day to give energy and vitamin A. That's the plan. Use food out of every group, every day. The best way to divide the groups into three balanced meals will run something like this: For breakfast: Citrus fruit, cereal, eggs, milk or beverage, toast. For lunch or dinner: Meat (poul try or fish, etc.), vegetable in ei ther group I or III, milk or milk products. For dinner or supper: Meat, poul try or fish, vegetable or fruit from groups I, II, or III. Milk or milk product, and also bread and butter from groups VI and VII. An easy way to plan the menus is to write down the foods and the cor responding number of the group of food from which it comes. If you do not use one or two of the groups during one meal, pick them up at the next. No chance for slips, here! Keep ane eye on the plan and the other on the ration books while do Lynn Says: What they do: The basic seven food requirements are so made up as to take care of the body’s demand for certain types of food. For example, proteins, miner als and water are all essential to building torn parts of the body and keeping them in repair. They are needed for tissues, bones, muscles, blood and^pther fluids. Energy for breathing, heart ac tion, circulation of the blood, and other bodily functions is supplied by fuel foods—foods rich in fats and sugar. To keep up the body’s resist ance to disease, to keep it in good running order, is the function of regulation and protective foods— these are the vitamins, minerals, water and roughage.

When Kitty died it meant *200,000 to her. She explain* the situation to her friend, Barry. Elsa Chatfield had been disin herited at Aunt Kitty’s death, but Is glad to be freed from a tyrannical aunt who had Imposed many restrictions. Huntoon Rogers, a detective, asks what Aunt Kitty died of, and Is told an overdose of morphine. The detective meets Reed Barton and discusses the matter of Kitty Chatfield and Elsa. He suspected that Kitty Chatfield was murdered although the police hold to the opinion that It was suicide. There were no fingerprints except her own on the hypodermic syringe she used. CHAPTER III “But Kitty talked. Lord, how she talked! Sam, thank God, was a hu man sort, however; he just laughed at her and went on loving his wife. And then Elsa’s mother, to Kitty’s great relief, passed from the scene. Pneumonia, I think, although it’s hard to remember everything. Sam didn’t remarry, however, until after he set himself up again in Mexico; and then it was to Berta, the Mexi can. Berta was the last straw to Kitty Chatfield. Berta, of course, is all right, I like her.” “It’s time Margaret was getting here. Sam Chatfield and his Mexi can wife, Berta, are coming too. They’re up from Mazatlan for a few days,” he said. "I’m hungry. How about you two?” “I could eat now,” Huntoon Rog ers said. “Perhaps it is clearer now about the will, Barry,” said Dwight, set tling back in his chair once more. “When Aunt Kitty cut her niece off with only a year's income from the estate, knowing quite well that Elsa would spend all of it—which she did—it was a deliberate thrust at a vital spot, so she thought “Aunt Kitty never looked upon Elsa as a Chatfield. Elsa resembled very much her mother. What’s more to the point she was not awed j by the antiquity of the Chatfields; 1 she refused to kowtow to the great god Family. Which of course did not endear her to Aunt Kitty. To ward the last as bitter a hatred ex isted between those two as you could well imagine. Elsa, of course, was not to blame for it. Kitty Chatfield was older; her neck was stiff.” “But is that enough to make the two hate each other the way they did?” I asked. “There was the baby." “Who was the child’s father?” in quired Rogers. "That has never been disclosed.” A boy came out upon the veranda to inform us that Margaret and the others had arrived. • Dwight Nichols has a kindly face. Dwight is not yet forty, but his is the face of a benevolent philosopher. His brown eyes are benign, soft, almost feminine in their compassion for his fellow man. There is a quiet, gentle smile constantly about his lips; his whole countenance, in fact, is lovable and sweet. His is a face widely known, for it has been seen often in the press—a face of charm, inviting to confidence, winning, i friendly. That's why the devilish caricature in the shop window struck so forci bly upon my attention. It was the eye that did the trick; the carica turist had provided him with an eye cunning, sly, wicked. It made over the whole countenance of Dwight Nichols; it made a rascal of him, whereas he is an upright man, a sportsman who has written many books of life afield, and a man ex traordinarily fond of his wile and home. And, heavens! there was myself beside Dwight, my own inconsequen tial physiognomy. I blushed as I stood there on the sidewalk, oblivi ous to the afternoon crowd that swarmed along the boulevard. Was I such a villain as that? Was I so old? And, heavens again! Beside me in the window, overwhelmingly, so huge and coarse that at first I had not seen it. was Jimmy the Cheese. In other shop windows up the boulevard that mild April afternoon I encountered still more caricatures by the same clever hand. There was one of Huntoon Rogers ludicrous in the extreme; the thinning hair on top of his head was all but gone; his ears stood out like flapping wings, and his nose was twice its already generous size. "Let me see that thing in the win dow," I requested of the clerk. For full of mounting spirits I had re turned to the first window out of breath, thoroughly reckless now. I pointed to my own likeness. The man was hesitant. “I want to look at it. I want to make sure who did it. It's me. Don't you see?” He looked startled for a moment, as if he were trying to divine wheth er or not I intended to sue him, then got the caricature from the window and laid it on the counter. Eagerly I scanned it for a signature, and there modestly in the lower right ! corner was the word I had not been able to see from the sidewalk. It was "Elsa.” "Let me take this for a little while,” I requested. The clerk shrugged his shoulders in a way ! that said no. "Here!” I pulled out j my billfold and dropped some money 1 »n the counter. "I know the girl who did that. I want to borrow it long enough to take it over and raise heck with her ” “What if you don’t come back?" ‘Then keep the money. It’s more than the darned thing is worth.” "All right," he said. I rolled the thing lightly, made my exit and bent my steps toward the apartment on the heights above the boulevard. Elsa was not at home, but I found Reed Barton on her doorstep. He was knocking loudly like a desperate man upon the panel of the door as I ascended the last flight of stairs, and left off only when I poked my head within view. He was carrying flowers, which few men like to be seen doing however much they may esteem the intended recipient there of. He sought at first to hide them from me; hence it was not difficult to see that his case was urgent. “She’s not at home,” he an nounced with an air that indicated Elsa’s absence amounted almost to a personal affront. "I thought sure she'd be here, Barry.” “Just leave the flowers on her doorstep. I’ll tell her you called the next time I see her,” I said. He “Look at that! Look at that!” laughed and brought the flowers around into view, drew a fat green pencil from his pocket, scribbled something upon the white paper and snapped the flowers to the doorknob with a rubber band. “She's the most exasperating per son I know, Barry,” he said. “But what’s she done to you?” For the first time he realized I had reason for being there. The light was dim, but I unrolled the caricature and presented it. He took the caricature from me, and placing it against the wall scrib bled on the edge: “Dear Liar. Bar ry is a wild man about this. I think it’s rotten too—Reed." He chuckled, proceeding to fasten it in the door jamb. “Tell her when you see her, Barry, that I called to tell her good bye. It’s rather sudden, you know. The Chief didn’t let me know until yesterday. I’m on my way this eve ning. Come on. I’ve got to go over to my hangout now. There’s not much time left.” We went down the stairs and set off on foot, for it was not far. • “Where are you going and why?” I inquired as we reached the boule vard and jostled along through the crowd. “Mexico—Mazatlan. Because the Chief says to go." “Mazatlan! Why, that’s incredibly removed from the Hollywood scene.” “Yes, I know." "But what for?” “The Chief says I’m to report at the Mazatlan office for permanent work. Take charge of things down there.” We swung oo up the boulevard. As we passed the shop window, we halted to gaze in at the caricatures of Dwight and Chesebro, and again farther up the boulevard at still oth er caricatures. Near Highland the sidewalk became impassable. We endeavored to worm our way through, for Reed’s hotel was just beyond the corner. The first intima tion that it was more than a mere congestion of pedestrians came with the sound of a man's voice—a reedy, husky voice—shouting: "Look at that! Look at that!” We pressed our way into the crowd and beheld at the center of the throng a hatless figure, red of face and vociferous to the point of apoplexy. "Is it me?” he demand ed plaintively of the gaping crowd. "Is it me?” He pointed at a shop window wherein I could make out a group of caricatures, the origin of which was quite apparent. I recog nized the fellow, a minor comedian; he was a bit player who was cast in an occasional picture. I don’t know why a second figure on the sidewalk should catch my eye | at the moment unless it were that | the prescient monitor within me had » again directed my eyes into the misty pool of future time to that terrifying experience at Mazatlan. For the man was an utter stranger. He was inactive, standing idly by, apparently not greatly moved by the indignity that had been done him. The man was smoking a frayed ci gar. He was hatless, dressed in an incredible sports coat, brown slacks and a pink and white check shirt that would have affronted the esthet ic sense of a moron. “I won’t stand for it!” bellowed the comedian. “I won’t! Give me a brick, somebody. Where’s a brick?” I don’t know where the brick came from. I suspected, but with no rea son whatever, that the man with the frayed cigar was guilty. "You know,” laughed Reed Bar ton, as we rolled down town to the union station, ”1 wish I could stay and see how this comes out.” •’I’ll tell you how it comes out when I see you at Mazatlan,” I said. ‘Tve arranged to go with Dwight and Margaret on their cruise. Leaving in a week or so.” ’•There is more than a fine talent here,” said Dwight, his voice having a judicial sound in the quiet of the ship’s lounge on the Orizaba. The thin smoke of his cigarette ascend- | ed through the lighted area made by the green-shaded light. He rustled the papers on the table, looking at first one reproduction of Elsa’s cari catures and then at another. There was a full page spread of Elsa's caricatures in the rotogravure sec tion, besides others in the news sec tion. Elsa had made a hit; she was being hailed as a find. “Oh, hello, Chesebro. Come in!” Dwight, looking past me into the passageway beyond the open door of the lounge, suddenly called out. 1 turned to behold Jimmy the Cheese on the threshold. We shook hands all around, and Dwight waved Chese bro to a chair. “We were just talk ing about Elsa,” he explained when we had settled. “About her mugs, as she calls them.” A voice broke in upon us as we sat there in the lounge, a strange voice, slightly blurred in its tone and smacking of New York in its inflections. “If you’re speaking of Elsa, I brought her out Just now." “We were, yes." Dwight rose questioningly to his feet and made as if to move toward the doorway whence came the voice. “Don’t bother to get up,” said the voice heartily. “Elsa and I just got here a few minutes ago. The stew ard helped us on board, and I saw you fellows in here so I came on in." “That’s quite right,” Dwight as sured the man. “I’m glad you did. My name's Nichols." “Glad to meet you, Nichols. My name's Rumble. George Rumble." “This is Mr. Chesebro, and Mr. Madison.” “Glad to meet you both,” said Mr. Rumble, shaking hands swiftly with Chesebro and then with me. “Don’t believe I’ve ever heard of you two before." He helped him self unasked to cigarettes and sat down on the corner of the table. “Nice little boat you’ve got here, Nichols. Looks like a swell traveler of the ocean blue.” “Yes, thank you. I’m glad you could come down and be with us tonight." “Thanks. I always get a kick out of going-away parties*— especially when it’s on a boat. Understand you’re starting to Mexico tonight." “Yes. We’re sailing about mid night." At the moment I was speechless. I observed Dwight endeavoring to adjust the newcomer to his sur roundings and us to him. It was plain that he was totally unexpect ed. His statement, however, that he had come with Elsa made him authentic. But, as I say, I was de void of speech. For I recognized the man. He was minus the frayed cigar he’d had when he so calmly looked on at the frantic actions of the outraged comedian. His black curly hair was oiled down to his head, and he was now smoking one of Dwight’s cigarettes. Otherwise he was the same. “How did you come down?” Dwight was asking. “Come down?” repeated Rumble, dislodging a fragment of tobacco from his tongue with a sharp noise of his lips. “We came in Elsa’s car. She’s got a good car now, and a chauffeur. I helped her pick out the car. And I know the chauffeur’s okeh. He’s a nice boy. Cousin of a friend of mine. I got him the job.” “That’s interesting," said Dwight. Chesebro had shrunk into himself at the advent of Mr. Rumble; he sat like a huge, reddish-brown, silent, malignant oyster. I’m sure that if it were the gentlemanly thing to do he would have bitten Mr. Rumble. “What’s your line, Chesebro?" de manded Mr. Rumble, turning upon Jimmy the Cheese. For a moment there was no reply. I could fancy he was struggling with himself, then he hissed, “Mining investments.” “Investments? Oh, yes. I never had anything to invest myself, but that’s a good line, I guess. Me, I’m in—” But whatever it was that he was in had to wait for the moment, for Elsa called to us from the thresh old.
