THE BRAVERY OF WOMEN
Men Adair Believes Thai, Weighed in ihc Balance,
Women Are as Valiant-hearted as Men.
J "Peace hath her victories no loss re
nowned than war's." This Is peculiarly
1 tftio with reference to women. One of the
' Jiardcst burdens that can be thrust upon
:'fwomanllnd Is the heavy burden of
; waiting!
' It Is so hard to sit with Idle hands.
Uniting, waiting for tho bad news that Is
euro to come. Tot women have to do
this uncomplainingly.
i, On the other hand, there are hundreds
,of examples of tho woman warrior, who
., has gone forth to fight for her country
with as eager a heart an any man I The
dayfc of VToan of Arc havo been re-enacted
n score of times. For many women havo
been actually In the firing lino, facing
the foe.
There are many Instances recorded of
Women soldiers nnd women sailors. If
theso cases be Investigated, it will bo
pretty generally discovered that. In con
junction with lovo of country, thero was
another potent and compelling factor that
urged them on to faco tho battlefield.
Tho love of husband or sweetheart was
n leading dynamic force.
That magnificent Scottish regiment
that has fought so nobly in a 1 undred
fights, the gallant Scots Greys, onco
owned a woman trooper In Its ranks.
She was n Mrs. Christian Davles. born
In Dublin, Ireland, ICi". After her mar
riage her husband mysteriously vanished,
so she decided later that she would don
man's attire. Join tho nrmy nnd go In
search of him. Having enlisted success
fully and escaped detention, she was
shipped off to Holland, where In a battle
,Tips for Home Dressmakers
By One Who Knows
For Stitching
Do you know when to tighten nnd when
to loosen the tension on tho sewing- ma
chine? When working on thin, 'soft ma
terials ono should always loosen It, or the
stuff will draw. For thicker, firmer
:' materials tho tension should bo tightened
, up again.
It Won't Pucker ,
If you nro stitching chiffon, place tlssuo
paper under tho material nnd work tho
machine through both.
It Is quite easy to pull away tho paper
afterward, and it keeps tho material from
rucking up.
p When Cutting Out
If I'm using a good material I always
cut out the blouso first In muslin. I tack
and fit this, and if it Is all right, I can
then cut tho material without any fear
that it may be a failure.
The Importance of Tacking
"A blouso well tacked Is half made," say
professionals. I used to "run up" mine in
tho most careless manner, and bo rnther
proud of tho fact that I'd done it with
out tacking a stitch, In spite of the fact
that my things somehow never looked
right. I know better now. You simply
. must tack carefully It you want a thing
to fit and set really well.
Healing Value of
. Good Cheer
The curative value of good cheer Is
receiving o great deal of attention Just
now. Tho surgeons connected with ono
of tho clinics at Johns Hopkins Unlver-
t slty havo taken quite seriously to pro
ducing good cheer for their patients.
They realize now what tho people them
selves are beginning to suspect that
l laughter is a decided and definite tonic,
and more wldespreadlng in Its effects
than cardemon comp. or Iron.
The walla of this clinic are lined with
good cheer placards, a graphophone
plays gay music, humorous books and
magazines abound nnd the nurses them-
Li selves are thoroughly trained for their
part In tho cheering process. It may
K sound rather as if cheer was forced upon
t, people, but this is not so. Nervous
cases, and especially those affected with
any form of mental trouble and melan
cholia, show wonderful Improvement
after a. very short stay In this atmos
phere. This stands to reason. The thinking
man or woman sees the power of laugh
ter on every side. Christian Science will
never do as much as laughter has dona
already towards eliminating both Imag
inary and real ills. Babies laugh and de
velop their lungs, tho blood moves and
jthey become strong and healthy. The
child who laughs Is rarely ill, and when
sho doesn't It Is so noticeable that
mother knows enough to take the little
indisposition In time.
Not very long ago It wjis considered
quits heartless to enter a sick room with
out a saddened expression or a long
face. But that has all been changed.
r Nurses nowadays entertain their pa
ir ttents with humorous anecdotes, the
doctor has a cheery, wholesome way that
fairly forces renewed hope Into the dis
couraged patient. Of course, serious Ill
nesses will always have to be treated seri
ously, for In the most optimistic light
they are always a trying thing, but a
good many "real" Illnesses when treated
with a smile suddenly assume the aspect
I' of phantoms.

sho was wounded rather badly. Later
she was taken prisoner by tho French
and was not permitted to return to her
regiment for soma time.
The good tudy seems to havo had the
true military spirit, for, learning that a
sergeant had Insulted a certain girl, she
challenged him to a duel, and he, Ignorant
of her sex, responded cheerfully to tho
call. Unfortunately for her, she wounded
him badly, and was at onco discharged,
and It wna at this crisis of affairs that
she managed' to get Into a better regi
ment, the Srots Greys. Thero she dis
tinguished herself ns a tighter, nnd also
learned of her husband's whereabouts.
Iatcr her Identity was discovered, but so
delighted was the colonel with her
bravery that ho sent for her husband, and
gave n great reception In her honor.
Later, In her widowhood, she retired
with a pension of one quarter a day.
Many women have fought ns nallors,
too, doing ns good service as the mon.
During the Ittisfo-.lapancse War tho
daughter of a certain wealthy merchant
of Russia was so Inspired with hatred
against the Japanese, and so affected by
the losses to tho llusslan troops that
sho went straightway to the front and en
listed In a Cossack regiment. She. how
ever, unlike tho other women warriors of
history, mado no effort to concoat her
sex.
Having escaped death only by n miracle
a hundred times, she was the admiration
of her regiment, the rough llusslan
soldiers trentlng her with the very great
est respect. Notice of her bravery was
brought to the Czar himself, and he took
her later under his ppeclul protection,
makliig her his ward. Bvnr after sho has
been known ns "Tho Amazon of tho
Cossacks."
The Woman Who Plays
Auction
Women who are well bred will be well
bred -at all times- and on nil occasions,
but thero aro some games which have
an etiquette all their own. There are a
few pointers about miction etiquette that
every amateur should learn to observe.
They nro Just as Important ns learning
to follow suit nnd to play third hand
high, etc. Those who desire to get all
tho plcasuro they possibly can out of
the game aro not satisfied with learning
only the rules like most Americans, they
want "their money's worth." So a few
pointers on bridge deportment will not
be amiss.
In cutting, remember that you should
always cut towards tho dealer. Never
leave the cards open on the table; finish
the cut.
When you have "made up" the cards
for your opponent, place them ot her
left side, with the face side ot tho deck
uppermost. It Is absolutely necessary to
do this, as It assures every one at the
table that there Is no high card put on
tho bottom and prevents mistakes In
dealing.
Never, never talk across the board. If
you bid n spade, don't follow It up with
the remurk that "you have a miserable
hand and couldn't help your partner in
anything," etc. Your opponents are Jus
tlfledMn taking advantage of this. The
ono spude bid Is supposed to be signifi
cant enough.
Never ask the scorekeeocr If she -out
down the Inst count. The fact that she
Is scorekeeper by the mutual consent of
the other players. Bhould mean that she
is able to watch the game.
Always keep your book and odd tricks
separate. If you mako a point of clcfolng
your book as soon ns you get it, and
nrranglng the odd tricks outside, there
win De no contusion In a doubled or
redoubled bid. Don't throw all your tricks
in a pile.
Never try to outbid your oartner. This
is only Justifiable when you have no help
ana are trying to "take her out." Re
member that you are practically saying,
"I know you've got a good hand, but I'm
selfish and I want to play mine. I want
you to give in to me." The reckless bidder
la the unpardonable sinner In bridge. You
may get away with It once In a while,
but It isn't fair to your partner.
Ideas in Idleness
It seems that some residents of the
Smoky City can't even keep their con
sciences clean.

LITTLE MISS
"Tell mother I won't be home for din
ner. I'm going to Bleanore's over night.
And Laura, I've got several extra shirt
waists I want washed tomorrow. You
don't mind doing them, do you? I'm
going to the shore over the week-end and
simply must havo something clean. I've
forgotten my laundry again. And when
Bob calls up, tell him to call me at Elea
nore's. Did dad leave me some money!
Thanks. Goodbye."
These are a few of tho orders little
Miss Up-to-Date gives the family maid.
Bhe gives a servant the message she
should give her mother In person. Every
day she has an engagement. Bhe gets
up In a rush at the last minute and
dashes off in such a hurry that her mes
sages aro left In a state of confusion. She
never comes home to spend the evening
unless she brings some one to spend the
night or fills a table at bridge. Her Idea
of an evening at home is to go to a. mov
ing picture theatre near there and come
back "early" at 11,
A Bargain
Supposing I give you your supper," said
the tlred-looklng woman, "what will you

"Madam," said Tilled Tim, "I'll give,
you the opportunity of seeln' a man go
through a whole meal without finding
fault with a single thing."
The woman thought for a moment, and
then told him to mt in and she'd sot
the table.
How to Keep Steamed
Pudding Fiesh
Prevent a steamed pudding from becom

ateaaaer before placing the Ufi on. This
prevents the moisture from settling and
making the pudding heavy.

SEMI-MOURNING DRESS OF
MODES OF
Combination of One-piece
Old-time
A style that goes back several decades
is revived this season In tho combination
of the one-piece frock and the ubiquitous
topcoat.
Not that the coatsuit, the tallleur or
the trolleur has been eliminated. It has
merely been put In Its proper place.
Tho smart tnllor-made BUlt, with a
dainty and often extremely elaborate nnd
expensive blouse, hns been worn pretty
much everywhere, morning, afternoon and
evening.
But now, for dress occasions, for tho
the dansant, for matinee and restaurant
wear, the one-piece frock is much more
desirable, and It is made possible by
the vogue of the topcoat.
It does exist, however, at present In a
shape that makes It sufficient of Itself
for midseason wear, feigning the appear
ance of the redlngote, with Its long,
flaring tunic, and the drop skirt ahow-
Hlng beneath.
But In the overheated American houses
these frocks of Bergs' and satin are too
heavy, while the recurrent cold waves
make them too light for constant wear
In the open.
They are for those who can afford many
frocks. The one-piece frock of inexpen
sive woolen material or of silk bought,
perhaps, at a sale, la something that
can be made at home and worn right
LP-TO-DATE
She is so cross and tired and out of
sorts' the nights she has no engagement
that her family rejoices when she is out.
She never asks her mother If she would
like to go to a "movie" or sit in a bridge
game. She never consults her mother
about her clothes, although she talks of
nothing else to her companions.
Dick, Jack, Bob or Harry take up every
evening. If they ask her out for an
auto ride, she never thinks to ask her
mother. She Is too old-fashioned; she
would spoil the party.
Dad never gets any notice unless mi
lady needs a check. Then. If he Is pressed
for money or suggests a little. economy
what a storm! Tears, lamentations, re
proaches, and dad is a brute!
So If you are a stay-away-from-home
girl, try to count the number of times
you haven't been home in' the last month.
The scarcity will appal you, Itemember
that dad and mother see only your vir
tues, and would find many new ones every
time you stayed at home and gave them
the chance.
The Bridegroom's Offer
The knot had been tied In their minis
tar's house, and, the ceremony over, the
bridegroom drew the clergyman aside.
"I'm sorry I've no money to pay your
fee, sir," ha said in a whisper; "but if ye
tak' me doon to the cellar I'll show ye
how to. fix yer gas meter so as It'll no
register!"
Macaroni Surprise
Put two ounces of macaroni Into a pan
of boiling water and boll fast for about
20 minute, then strain. Make a blanc
mange with a pint of milk, add three
ounces of sugar, and while hot mix in
the macaroni and an ounoe of butter.
Pile on a. dish and put two spoonfuls
of raspberry Jam in the centr.

BLACK CREPE DE CHINE
THE HOUR
Frock and Topcoat Revives
Favorite
through tho season, at homo or abroad,
Willi tho old of a long, heavy coat.
And many of these coats serve a double
purpose. Of course, there Is the coat of
tweed or covert cloth that is only suit
able for the country or rough weather.
But mado of one of the beautiful woolens
now manufactured and finished with a
fur collar, tho same coat will serve for
wear by day and by night.
The picture today shows a one-plcce
frock mado of crepe de chine. It has a
novel and rather pleasing feature In the
wide shirring of tho front panel, which
extends from the waist line to a point
almost as high as the very wide girdle.
The fulness of the panel is repeated
at the sides and at the back of the skirt,
which is finished simply with a hem of
good depth.
The sleeves of the bodice are set In
at the shoulders nnd the vest la fastened
by buttons covered with the silk and is
outlined by cording.
A collar of sheer linen, fashioned on
lines similar to those of the silk collar.
Is worn with It and dainty white linen
lapels mark the opening of tho V neck.
Tho hat worn with this exceedingly sim
ple but very smart little frock is cov
ered with dull silk.
It Is essentially of the picture variety
of hat and the angle at which It Is worn
permits the feather to drop to the shoul
der. It' Is a beautifully curled ostrich
feather of gray, a color chosen to carry
out the seml-mournlng Idea of the frock.
Marmalade Jelly
Take three pounds and a half of bitter
oranges, two pounds of sweet oranges,
eight pints of water and two lemons.
Skin the oranges, cut the pulp small, put
In the water and soak for 24 hours. Boll
slowly an hour and a half. Strain and
add a pound and a quarter of sugar to
every pint of Julca, Boll 20 to 30 minutes.
Yorkshire Cakes
Ingredients One pound of flour, two
ounces of margarine, half a pint of milk,
three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a
pinch of salt. Method; Put the butter
ai)d milk Into a clean saucepan, and put
It on the fire until the butter Is melted
and the milk lukewarm. Mix the Hour,
salt and baking powder together, then
add the milk, beating tho whole Into a
stiff dough. This is sufficient for four
good-sjzed cakes. Let the cakes remain
before the Are In greased tins. Bake in
a somewhat slow oven.
Stuffed Dates and Figs
Buy good dates or figs for this sweet
Tho dates that come wrapped In waxed
paper and already seeded aro usually the
best. But they must be moist and firm.
Prepare some cooked fondant, or the
raw kind, like that for walnut creams.
Have a few bits of candled lemon peel,
preserved ginger and candled cherries and
citron. Have broken walnut and pecan
meats and some almonds, shelled and
blanched. Stuff the dates with nuts, fruit
and nuts mixed or fruit and open the
figs at the stem end and stuff them in
the same way. These will keep for sev
eral days In a, box or covered dish. Stuff
with the fondant, pressing the date around
a place of fondant of its own site, or
forcing some into the fig. These should
be eaten the day they are made, as the
fondant dries rapidly. Roll the dates
stuffed with nuts and fruits In granulated
sugar.

Can We Love
Without Knowing It?
"Every man loves nt least three times,"
says n cynic. But the opinions of a
cynic In matters of the heart are not
worth milch. Tfuo love can only como
once In a lifetime. It can never die.
Trouble may force It Into a second place
in tho mind; years of separation may
come nnd go, but still love will last
Often we hear of old lovers marrying
after years of separation. Neither knew
that he or she loved the other, but their
meeting again revived tho long dormant
love. This proves that wo may love with
out knowing It Very often It happens
Hint n girl grows familiar with a certain
young man. She looks forward to meet
ing him with a fair amount of Interest,
but should nny one suggest that she loves
him, the Idea would bo ocorned.
Lot that young man, however, suddenly
tell of his Intended departure for Eng
land or let him be 111 nnd In dangor of
death; then will tho girl discover at last
that she loves him has loved him for a
long time slnco when sho cannot tell;
but now. when the sudden danger of
separation confronts her, sho feels on
awful sinking of the heart.
Perhaps, too, ho begins to pay atten
tion to nnother girl; Jenlousy eats Into
the heart of the discarded one, nnd In tho
solitude of her room she confesses that
sho did love him. Ilcr varying moods
and coldness havo driven him to seek for
love elsewhere, and flio girl who did
not vnlue his affections when she hnd
them sits In her lonely room heartbroken
for the loss of a love which sho never
before valued.
The same thing Is often the cose, too,
on the man's side. For some time lie
may eome In constant touch with a girl
for whom ho has profound respect, but
would not ndmlt for a moment that ho
loved her. But when tho chance of a
parting comes, tho latent love asserts
Itself, and he knows at last that for some
time he has been blind.
Love may Ho dormant In your mind,
only to awaken when your capriclousness
has driven awny the mnn who would
once have given his life to make you
happy.
Many n life's happiness has been
wrecked because a girl has been foolish,
and has kept back tho love sho really
had for tho man. Too late sho discov
ers her mistake. She would do anything
to get her lover back, but he is beyond
call.
WOMAN OUTSIDE THE HOME
Ways of Making Extra Money
Slnco tho unusual business depression
has mado Itself felt many girls aro look
ing around for a chanco to mnko somo
extra spending money. It Is most sur
prising to hear these girls lament tho
fact thnt they can find nothing to do.
Ono said only yesterday: "I'm Just dying
for something to do. Dad Just had to
cut down my allowance, nnd I'm all at
boo. I've never lenrned to savo a cent
But what can I do? I don't know" a
thing about stenography or typewriting,
so I can't do nny clerical work. There
doesn't seem to bo much left but that
and housework. I can't even do that.
And everybody's teaching dancing. Oh,
dear, I'm good for nothing!"
Poor llttlo girl! She is as blind as
If her blue eyes were useless. On nil
sides girls In her position are beginning
to work, and to succeed ns well, v
One clever girl, who lived In a neigh
borhood In which thero were numerous
children, noticed their rnothors coming
out every now and then to watch them
at their play. As she was a truly clever
girl, this gave Her an Idea, i sno put on
a dainty little gown, fluffed. up her hair
Wise Sayings
If you step on a lndy's dress, don't act
as If you wero embarrassed. Tell her
you admit you're on the wrong train,
but not to let It "ruffle" her.
A wise Idea Is to praise the make and
speed of the auto whloh hits you. It
may put you In right with the chauffeur
and save you from arrest.
It's never too late to spend.
Programs, menus, etc., used to be
souvenirs of an occasion. Nowndays
some guests prefer sliver tablewaro.
A Useful Hint
Never throw away the water In which
fish, rice, macaroni, or dried vegetables
are boiled. Fish water makes a good
stock for white soup; macaroni and rice
water can either be used as thin starch
Just to stiffen tho laundry articles a
very little or added to soup or puddings.
Dried vegetable water should be allowed
to cool and then be used for soaking
the next instalment of vegetables, so that
any nourishment which it contains may
go back Into the second set of them in
stead of being entirely wasted.
Italian Pancakes
Beat well together an ounce ot flour,
a dessert spoonful of sifted sugar, a gill
of warm milk and two eggs; then add a
few drops of essence of lemon and two
ounces of butter. Have ready some but
tered saucers, pour the mixture Into these
and bake for 20 minutes; serve piled up
sprinkled with sugar.
Clothes Pins
Clothes pins should be scrubbed In hot
soap and water and boiled for 3D min
utes, then taken out and allowed to drain
till dry. They will last much longer, and
will not split It this Is done.
How to Keep Cheese
To keep cheese for some time and pre
vent it becoming moldy or dry, wrap It up
In a cloth damped with vinegar and keep
it In a dish.
Finger Markson Wallpaper
To remove finger marks from wallpaper,
take three cupfuls of flour, one cupfuland
a half of water pnd three tablespoonfuls
of ammonia; mix to a Btlff paste, then rub
the walls and the paper will look like
new.

WHAT SHALL BE OUR
WINTER BEVERAGE?
By MPS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author The New Housekeeping.
Tea, eftffee, cocoa what shall our hot
drink be? Defenders of tho cup that
cheers but which may also contain sev
eral grains of caffeine or thelno again
rally to their favorite beverage now that
colder days are with Us. Buttermilk
and all Its cousins nnd aunts, plain milk
arid cold egg and fruit drinks nro being
neglected for that "something hot" which
wo demand with the advent of sharp
winds and chill.
Many of us who Hko tea as an accom
paniment to lunch and at other tlmos
cannot get down to the viewpoint of the
Britisher who wants tea for breakfast
Authorities tell us that coffee Is danger
ous (there's a reason), and yet we must
have a hot beverage to start tho day
rlaht.
Self-respecting coffee fiends rcfuso to
admit the possibilities of coffee substi
tutes, and yet thero aro several of these
which, when made right and served wfth
cream, make n good morning drink. On
of these gaining in favor is a drink mado
from tho banana. Tropical dwellers havo
long used this food-fruit In this way,
drylnK the pulp nnd grinding It nnd
roasting It so that the bovcrago browed
from It, while not in any senso pretend
ing to be coffee, Is n pleasant brown-colored
drink. It Is especially good for chil
dren or others to whom coffee is denied.
"Why not coco.T" you ask, Thero is
no more delicious drink than cocoa, and
It can be more widely used than at
present. But for many the high amount
of fat present In the usual brands of
cocoa mako this beverage hard to digest,
especially when taken regularly and In
quantity. For such persons let mo
recommend a drink made from "cocoa
shells." These nro the shells separated
and set out to try out her Inspiration.
She visited tho mothers of these children,
telling them that sho would be very glad
to entertain their hopefuls every morning.
Sho ndded that on tho days when tho
weather wan not good thoy could como
to her home. Needless to say, tho moth
ers were delighted, because tho constant
watching, so Inseparable to children, be
came very tiresome. And thoso who did
their own housework found It almost
Impossible to care for tho youngsters,
too.
Then this little girl counted tho young
sters nnd took her slender purse down
town. Sho bought ten clay plpos nnd
n bubble-blowing set, several games of
checkers, purchecsl, Jackstraws, otc
and plenty of Jacks, marbles and tops.
Tho kiddles wero completely won over
on tho first stormy day. Thoy had so
many tea parties, both for themselves
(where the "party" finally ended) nnd
their dollies that tho circle grew tre
mendously. A dollar a week was the fee each
mother was glad to pay for Beelng such
happy, smiling young faces every lunch
hour. Tho girl herself has a steady

good for pin-money. Isn't It?
Chafing Dish Party
Did you ever havo a chafing-dish party?
In theso days of electrical efficiency you
can havo n delightful ono with nil the
danger left out. Of course, you can use
an alcohol chafing dish Just as well, but
remember, "safety first." The electrical
dishes have three "speeds," so to speak,
with which to regulate the force of the
current. Tho lever can be moved up
from low to medium nnd then to high.
Tho great advantage in this is that you
can manage your heat according to the
need of the food you are cooking, and
when It Is done you can leave the current
In "low" nnd so keep things warm. It
Is cheaper, too, to use electricity, and
any one who has had the experience of
getting ready to cook, and finding that
the alcohol has all evaporated, will rec
ommend tho electric way most positively.
The party consisted of bIx couples. As
a rule, It is better to have only eight or
ten people, as you have to supply a great
many things for them, nnd It Is qulto a
little trouble. The boys were presented
with largo "blbless" gingham aprons,
which were tied around their waists. The
girls were given dainty little dimity
aprons, each one tied with a different
colored ribbon.
Then the hostess allowed the boys to
ohoose from a little pile of cards, shaped
like a chafing dish and tied with ribbon.
The ribbon on the card should corre
spond with that on the girl's apron, and
so each one finds his partner for the
evening.
Inside the cards could be found the
part of the menu each couple must con
coct Tho fact that there wero six couples
did not necessitate six chafing dishes, of
course. One couple had to set the fable,
one had to make the coffee In the elec
tric percolator and another had to make
the toast for the "Pig Wiggle" and
lettuce sandwiches. The Pig Wiggle con
sisted simply of the diced white meat
of chicken, with mushrooms, red and
green peppers and seasoning with a
cream dressing. Unless the girls are
very good cooks, a simple menu is ad
visable. The dessert consisted of a
delicious fruit cup, made ot all the fruits
In season, cut into segments, and piled
In the body of large halves ot grape
fruit The top of each was decorated
with a couple ot mint leaves and a
maraaclno cherry and looked very at
tractive. The hostess and her partner were sort
ot general assistants, locating things,
running errands from kitchen to dining
room and answering questions. Every
body enjoyed the party immensely, and
the "cooks" made very good impres
sions on their masculine attendants.
"Feed the brutal" you know.

from tho cracked cocoa bean, They do
not contain ns much nutriment as or
dlnnry cocoa, but they havo about tho
samo flavor, and; owing to tho previous
extraction of oil nllow the beverage to
be much more easily digested than or
dlnnry cocoa. Theso shells can bo bought
for a small sum, In quantities of several
pounds, and n small amount may be
steeped like tea or coffee. The resulting
beverage Is light brown In color, flavored
like cocoa and more dlgestable.
For other meats, or especially for tho
afternoon cup that cheers, wo can sub
nlltute bouillon and beef extract Instead
of tea or coffee. A spoonful of meat ex
tract or a bouillon cube dissolved In a
cup of hot water Is Just as stimulating
without the questionable results of our
Usual beverages. A cup of any clear
broth, even tomato, Is excellent to wel
come tho children when thoy como home
from school on chilly afternoons and Is
nil that Is necessary to bridge the gap
between their lunch and dinner.
For those of us who havo a llttlo more
time to Bpcnd In cooking there nro many
gruels and broths which need not bo con
lined entirely to tho Invalid's dietary.
Various fruit flavored gruels of rlco or
barley, carefully strained or combined
with milk or .malted milk, aro most
nourishing beverages, which havo Just njj
stomachic results as other beverages, but
which have food value as well.
For the winter nights . hot "posset''
may bo preferred. This Is merely an
eggnrfg disguised with grapo Julco and.
spices, served hot. And the hot fruit
drinks like hot claret cup, hot blackberry
or black currant drinks aro easy to mak
nnd equally as attractive as our common
beverages.
