Bring to the boiling point and simmer 20 minutes. Strain, and add liquid to two cups of white Stir In one beaten egg yolk. Serve hot with croutons.

The white sauce for the clam bisque Is made with three tablespoons of butter, three tablespoons of flour, teaspoon salt, tt teaspoon pepper and two cupi of scalded milk. a Meat Dish By Jenny Reed Home Economics Editor HO wouldn't be proud to serve a dish like the one pictured here It fa lamb Bleaks planked with whole green beans and cauliflower flowerets. The lamb steaks arc cut from the leg of lamb, and are broiled In exactly the same manner as are chops. They are broiled on one side, tben transferred to a wooden plank, the vegetables plac ed around them, and the broiling completed. The steaks shown at right were cut one and a half Inches, thick and require approximately 30 minutes for broil- Ing.

The oven for this method of cooking is thoroughly preheated with the regulator act to "hieh." The steaks are placed on 'the rack far chough from the flame or heating element that by the time one side Is nicely browned, they will be half done. Then tLey seasoned, and transferred to the plank. The green bcana and cauliflower flowerets are cooked In water first, then placed on the plank, dotted with butter, and reheated and slightly browned in the broiling oven. The plank used for this method of service Is a wooden plank made especially for this purpose. It must be prepared before it Is used for the first time.

This ia a simple process. It Is rubbed with oil and heated In a slow oven for several hours, until the oil disappears into the wood. Then the plank is washed and cared for just as any other piece of cooking equipment. In case you do not have a plank, you may use a fireproof platter. This ia tempered so that It can be placed directly under the broiler flame without danger of If you do not have any platter which will stand heat, you may broil these same foods on the broiler rack and'arrange them on a platter after the cook- Ing has been completed.

After all; the plank or fireproof platter is only a utensil used for the cooking and serving, but it does make an easy and attractive way to prepare and serve broiled foods. AMB steaks or chops are the Ideal lamb cuts for this method of serving. One thick lamb steak can be counted on to serve two persons generously, and In some cases even They are simply cut Into halves or thirds as caw may be, as every part of lamb steak Es tender and delicious.

And FURLONG is a lion of FURROW-LONG; the length of a plowed field! By Deborah Ames I THINK It Is a great pity that the very friendly custom of serving afternoon tea Is dying out. There Is almost no part of the loeltl regime that Is ilm- ple. hospitable, and Incidentally, inexpensive, as afternoon tea, The tea hour forms a charming background for many types of entertaining. You may be casual and Informal, gr go to great and become eeremonloua, The in- Formal afternoon Is, of course, ewter, and I think much more pleasant. Very little preparation IB required, yet the occasion can be one of delightful hospitality, It depends entirely upon the hostess her personality, her skill and her cleverness in conversation.

The informal tea It merely for the purpose of seeing one's friends, talking to them for 1 awhile--being hospitable in the easiest way possible. The hour may be any time between four and'six In the afternoon, and the tea may be served in the drawing-room, on the porch, or out on the lawn. In the summer months, the hour is naturally a bit later in the day, due to the longer hours of the day, and the Warmth of most summer afternoons. The tea things may be arranged on a low table, or on a tea-wagon, which Is wheeled Into the room after the guests have gathered. The food ia, of course, very simple--small sandwiches and'cakes servedjcvith either tea or coffee--or both.

Try varying the usual order of sugar or lemon-and-clovea- with cubes of candied ginger, or thin allces of orange. Iced tea can be basis of a delightful punch which may be made at the tea table by adding fruit juices, ginger ale, or a large spoonful of lemon Ice to the glass. I YOU CAN convince the men of your family that fa riot a sissy drink--you'll find them all getting home in time for a cup with you before dinner. The formal afternoon tea Ia used to Introduce a daughter to society, to honor a house-guest, ft new neighbor, or to welcome a wn or daughter back' from co! lege. It la an excellent way of entertaining 8 large number of people without a great deal of elab- orate and expensive preparation The hostess receives her guests either in'the drawing room or in the garden, depending, of course, on the season of the year.

Guests are supposed to mingle with each and converse freely, whether they know one another or not. Formal introductions are not necewary at a large tea--the fact that they are all meeting under one roof la enough of an introduction. Refreshments are generally; served either in the dining room, or at the far end of the garden from where the hostess receives, The food is of course, more elaborate than that of the simple tea just mentioned--it may consist of a light hot rolls, small cakes and tea or cof- fee, A rich and heavy dessert ia never served at a tea. Be sure that the'food la not so substantial that It will Interfere with your guests' dinner. HEN many people are Invited, the hostess usually one or two of her good friends to assist her in the pouring.

A maid should be In attendance to bring in.fresh tea, hot water and more refreshments as they are needed.

I i Of Famous War Spies Disclosed USTS' trunks In the attics of Long Island have re- veUad the Identity of George Washington's spies hidden and unsuspected 150 years.

Spies in every war are caught and condemned. Some caped capture, a few have concealed their secret activities--but none more successfully than' the agents who served Washington during- the Revolution. Messages passed continu ally between Uie general on Long Island and his supporters In New York. Many men were suspected, but nothing was proven; no arrests were made by the English. After years of Intensive research In Long Island archives, a member of the N(jw York Historical Society followed clue after clue, and solved the mystery.

Three names stand out: John Bolton, Samuel Culper, and Samuel Culper, Jr. Letters bear- Ing these slgnatuies were found- referring- to troop movements. But no record existed that these men ever lived. A musty old trunk in the attic of the Townsend family of Oyster Bay gave up a yellowed letter by Robert Town son of Samuel --and similarity was noted in the script of young Townsend and Uiat or Culper, Jr. The letter mentioned Austin Roe, Abraham Woodhull and Benjamin Tall- xnadge.

Papers left by the ancestors of the Woodbull and Roe families were discovered--piece by piece the story took form: five secret agents, and a black petticoat! Robert Townsend and Abraham Woodhull were both young, wealthy, distinguished. Townsend kept a store ID New York as a blind, Woodhull lived quietly on Lonf Island. Austin Roe waa tie skillful go-between. RECEIVING an urgent message from New York, Woodhull would race to the north- ern shore of Long Island and lonit for a black petticoat and a grottp of handkerchiefs on a clothes line. The black petticoat was hoisted by the fourth link in the chain-a boatman named Brewster.

It was his humble but important task to ply the little ferry between Long Island and New York'. The black silk garment waa the recognized signal that he had safely reached the shore of Long Island. The now famous handkerchiefs indicated the cove where he waited with his boat. Messages were relayed--Woodhull to BrewHteY--who smuggled them to Major Benjamin Tall- madgc conveyed swiftly to General Washington. In Jeter days when Washington became President, he often visited tnew staunch friends--the human "chain" which had so loyally the Revolution and Its leader.

All of these spies America's first--lived some 50 years after the war, yet none save a few close friends knew of their activities as secret agents. Going To School By BERNICE YOUNG Evergreen, Cal. When I walk to school each day, And see the birds In the trees; They seem to look right down at me And sing, "May 1 go with you please I always want to answer back You wouldn't want to go To sit and answer, "How, When Where." Because you might not know. Then the teacher standing there Will turn and give you heck. It ii much more fun for you up there, To peck, and peck, and peck..
