^ .L£BD£US MITCHELL "REMEMBER ME SOMETIMES" After five more years, Chips himself wail ready to retire as • nuMter at Rrookfield >)chool. Kalx- ton, the Headmaster, and Chips's fellow instructors i;ave him a farewell supper in the school din- ing hall. Sir John Colley presid- ed at the high table at which sat the other Governors and the fac- ulty. Below them the whole school was assembled. Halston was concluding his ad- dress on the occasion: "Five years ago Uiis summer, when I was new to Brookfield, I ventured to suggest to Mr. Chip- ping that it was time for him to retire. 1 was as new as that!" He waited, smiling, for the laughter to subside. "Well, we know each other bettor now. Mr. Chipping's loyalty has been equal to my ev- ery demand. I evon perauado<l bim to replace the venerable gar- ment that had become another Brookfield tradition." Renewed laughter interrupted him. "Today no one regrets more sincerely than I do that he finally feels himself compelled to â€" er â€" take my hint. I invite you ail to join me in a toa.sl: To Chips of Brook- field!" The toast was drunk in silence, followed by three rousing cheers in which those at the high table were as vociferous as the pupil? themselves. When seats had been resumed, Wainwi-ight, 19, captain of the school, got nervously to his feet. A Toatt To Chip* "We all know," he began hesi- tantly, "that Mr. Chipping's re- tirement is a great loss to Brook- field, but we hope that he will have many long and happy years. I'm not going to tell Mr. Chipping what we paid for the present be- cause that's rude. But I believe he'd like to know that every boy in the school sub.scribed to it â€" and every subscription was col- lected without force of any kind." Applause and laughter broke out. "Mr. Chipping, we want you to accept this little token of esteem from the boys of Brookfield. It's me.int to keep biscuits in." Wainwright handed to Chips the oak biscuit box, handsomely trimmed with silver mountings. Amid loud cheers and shouts, the Captain sat down, and Chips, sreatly touched, arose and bow- ed to him. "Mr. Wainwright, boys of Brookfield, I am afraid Wain- wright ha.s been guilty of exag- gerating in speaking of my ser- vices to the school, but then he comes of an exaggerating family. I've seen a good many changes at Brookfield. I remember so much that I sometimes think I ought to wTite a book. What should I call it? 'Memories of Rod and Line.s'?" Laughter and- cheers, cries of "Yes!" and "Hear! Hear!" inten-upted the speech. Rumblinci Of War "1 may write it one day," Chips continued. "1 may forget some things, but I'll never forget your faces. I'll remember you as you are now! In my mind you re- main boys, just as you are this evening ..... Well, I mustn't go on all night. Although I am resign- ing, I shall still be near the ichool. 1 shall live at Mrs. Wick- ctt's house, just opposite the Main Arch. Remember me .sometimes I shall always remember you Halo olim maminise juvabit â€" I need not translate." When it was all over the Hcad- ma.ster etrolled with Chips out to the iron gate. "Glad you won't bo loo far away," he observed. "If you need me any time ...." "I nhan't hesitate ...And â€" er â€" Chips, when you write that book of yours remember that, in addition to all these boys you taught, you managed to teach something to at least one Head- master. Goodbvc." They shook hands warmly and separated. As he approached Mrs. Wickott's.

Extra! .•\ustrian .Archduke a.ssassinated !" Then came the war which, con- trary to Chips's prediction that if; would last but a few weeks, con- tinued year after year until many of the boys just out of Brook- fic!.!, and then others who bad not finished the course, enlisted and went to Prance to face mu- tilation and death. The roll of Honor at Brookfield grew longer and longer as the second year rolled into the third and the third into the fourth. The younger mas- ters enlisted, and then some ot the Oider ones: Brookfield was short of masters. "Off To France" One day Peter Colley slipped into the new in the Chapel whsre Chips remained seated after a service in memory of those Brookfield boys who had sacri- fied their live.i on the field of battle. "Colley!" whispered Chips, ex- tending a welcoming hand. "I wanted to see you. I'm off for France on Friday. You know I got married last year." "I know, Colley. I'm very glad." "Helen's a Canadian girl â€" hasn't had time to make many friends over here. She could have lived with my father while I'm away â€" but, of course, you heard about that." "Ye.s," nodded Chips, thinking of Sir John. "When the firm went smash," continued Peter, "other people were ruined, too. It was the thought of that that â€" killed him. So, you sec, Helen's going to be rather lonely while I'm out there. ....I say, this in an awful thing to ask you." "Please,, go on," urged Chips. "She's going to live at Char- borough â€" the kid will soon be a year old I'm just wondering. Chips, whether you'd run over once in a while to see her ^â€" it's not far. I'd feel terribly happy if there were someone she could see now and then." When Chips returned to bia ro oma at Mrs. Wickott's he found Henderson and Colonel Morgan, two of the Hoard of Governors, waiting to see him. "You're a fine one, Chips," Henderson greeted him, shaking hands. "You retire because you're too old, and spend the whole day running about the school!" Chips shook hands with C^oloncl Mor- gan, and Henderson continued: "Morgan's to be chairman of the Governors, in place of poor old John Colley." "Yen, jwor old Sir John. 1 just saw his boy, Peter. Won't you sit down?" "Will You Bo Head?' A short silence fell, and then Colonel Morgan said: "We're go- ing to give you a shock, Chips, so you'd better hang on to your chair. We're going to be in' a bad hole next temi. You know that half of tho masters here have joined up and the substitutes are a pretty dreadful lot." "I know. It's difficul^tâ€" " "And now the Headjwant.i to go him.self. Ual.ston'a oniy 31), you know, and it's unfair to hold him. Wo had a meeting ot'Uhe Gover- nors last night and caiiie to a de- cision. If you feel iqual lo it. Chips, will you comJ# back?" "Mc?" fxclaimed/^hips incredu- lously. "Yes. There's no man living who knows the school like you do. We'd like you to take over the Headship and hold the fuvt until the war's ov(»r." •"The - the Headship?" Chips was .10 astonished that he itam- niered. â- â€¢Will yon, Chips?" "Yes," said Chips, after a br^nthlewt pause. "I'll come." .So st last, Chips's dreamâ€" and Kathie's dream for him â€" waa ful- filled: he was Headmaster of Brookfield. One of the first of the un- pleasant duties that confronted him as Head was to cane a boy who had placed tacks in the chair of a new and young master. "Sit down," said Chips. "1 want to know why you do thia sort of thing." "1 do it because the whole crowd of niastei-s here are a lot of weak-kneed old women! They're not in the army because they're not fit to be, or too old or too frightened. And they get back on us by being tuppenny ty- rants." "It didn't amuse me to cane you, Burton. Very soon now you'll be an officer in France. You'll need discipline froi.i your men and to get that you must know what discipline means. You de- spise the masters here because they're not young enough or strong enough to fight. Every one of them has dene his best to join the army. We take no man unless he has done that. Can you im- ngina their humiliation when a boy despises them for not doing things beyond their power? Re- member that I am one of them. I'm Headmaster because every man fit to be Headmaster is fighting in France. I'm a tempor- ary officer risen from the ranks." "I didn't know that about the mas'ters, I'm sorry, sir. I'll re- member now, sir." (To Be Concluded) Her "Dress" Went Into A Matchbox Magistrate Ellas Myers of Philadelphia last week asked a de- tective to prove why he insisted the costume of an entertainer at a girl show waa too flimsy. Painstakingly the detecive fold- ed the "costume" and squeezed it into a match box. The magistrate fined the show manager $12.50. * t BUTTON - TRIMMED DUTCH FROCK -y ANNE AUAInS Fashion is "in Dutch" thia year â€"and it's never looked smarter!

CHAMBERS Plan, Purehtue, Prepare For Holiday Once Again the Busy House- wives and Homemakers Are Planning for T/at Great Cli- max of all Cooking, The Christmas Dinner Synonymous with this dinner is Turkey, Cranberry Bauce and Plum Pudding. However, it Is the cock- tails, garnishes, saucee and relish- es, which make It different. These preparations might be div- ided Into three classes: firstly, the purchasing, secondly, the prepara- tion and cooking, and thirdly, the garnishing. - In -choosing your fowl, no matter what your choice may be, do not leave this important Item until the last minute. Nor will one who wishes to have a perfect dinner or- der her fowl over the tel^hone, but rather will make the choice of It personally. irit Is to be a turkey, you should know there Is much difference In turkeys. First, It should be young according to feathers (we are told young turkeys with black feathers have black feet and legs and young ones with white feathers have white feet; In the second year ol both kinds the legs and feet turn pink. After the third year the feet take on that grayish dull hue, and If you can detect this color you may be sure the birds have done some travelling). In drawing the bird, do not make the silt In the breast, remove the crop through the neck. When trim- ming the neck leave an inch of the skin at top to fold over on the hack after tJie breast has been fil- led with stuffing. The giblets also should be saved after washing and cleaning, and stewed with water and salt and saved tor the gravy. After removing the pin feathers rub the skin with salt and soda to cleanse and whiten It. In cleaning the Inside, it Is a good plan to al- low the water to run through be- ing sure to remove all bits of lung tissue, etc. Some pirefer to clean the Inside with a cloth, but in any case never set the fowl directly In water. Season the ihslde with salt. The size ot the bird will be ac- cording to the number ot j'our fam- ily and guests but a small or med- ium size is preferable. S to 10 lbs. is considered Ideal. The average time for cooking is 20 to 25 minutes per pound. For garnishing the favorites are Cinnamon apples or halves ot orange shells filled with spiced applesauce or with Je-Uy. For the stuffing, recipes are leg- Ion, but 1 am giving you twOv one will be for the Christmas and New YeaiT's dlaners, which will follow this article. OYSTER STUFFING 3 cups stale bread crumba % cup melted buttec M teaspoon salt U, teaspoon peppe-r 1 teaspoon of grated onion 1 pint oysterA.

RICE AND APRICOT STUFFING It the bird weighs 5 lbs, use: 3 cupfl flaky cooked rice H lb. dried apricots 3 tablespoons butter. 1 cup chopped celery and tops 1 small onion 1 sprig ot •â- wsloy chopped ^<i teaspoon poultry seasoning. The rice trill expand more while cooking, so leave plenty ot room. Wash the apricots and dry them, snip Into strips with the sclaso<-8, then mix with rice and seasonings. READERS, WRITE IN!

Pockets, Yokes Feature Mode They're ETerjrwhcre In The Newest, Smartest Fashions Pockets, pockets, everywhere, and in the new clothes, they do BO much more than required. In coats, the pockets that are eat in one with set-in-belts are fine features* in con.^truction. You'll find them in feminized trench coats. In Coat* and Dreaaes "Look to your pockets." This is a slogan for the resort season, for pockets have become the de- signer's delight, and not only are they utilitarian, but they are also decorative and have a clever knack of providing shaping for a dyeas or jacket. Vertical pockets gvie a slimming line, while horizontal pockets at the bustline give an impression of width. Pockets of draped skirts are numerous and suggest width that calls attention to the smallness of waistlines, and to the pegtop silhouette which has been continued by some houses ever since Piguet introduced it. Take Inche* Off W«ist A favorite trick in jackets Is to scoop out the pocket between hip-bone and waist, carving a few inches off the waist and enhanc- ing the hip curve. Large pockets posed on coats give swagger bulk to the front or side face position, they invite a hand-in-pocket sil- houette as indicated by the man- nequins who show them. Yokes in coats get all kinds of close attention. A favorite yoke is shallow, subtle in a scalloped dip at the hipiine er adding a brace- let at the aheulder.

Thia holds true for young tender birds as well as older birds that are not so tender. Poultry, they point out, is a protein just like cheese, eggs, and other meats. Rapid cooking with intense heat hardens and toughens the tissues. Medeis ate heat, however, cooks poultry slowly and evenly ao that rijera is little shrinkage. As a result the meat is juicy and full of flavor, and for every pound raised or pur- chased there is more left to serve on the table. Quick Safe Action FOR SORE THROAT FROM COLDS!
