WHAT to' have in place of oysters,
clams and, hot soups nt the be
ginning, of a meal frequently "puzzles
the housewife. "Canapes, continental
sandwiches, vegetables and fruit
cocktails, salpicons of fruit and fruit
soups wli nlUprovide a splendid va
riety from which to choose.
The canape, js a dainty morsel that
may be taken in' the fingers and
eaten. At the formal meal they are
usually served in the drawing room
with the ginger ale and fruit cup. At
the informal meal they are placed on
the table or passed on a silver tray,
or placed individually on small
doilies on a small plate at each place.
These delicious morsels, with their
foreign name, need not be either
elaborate or expensive. Left-over
portions of meat, fish, chicken or
cheese, which are too small to utilize,
may be turned into attractive ca
napes. Now the first step is to trim
the meat free from bones, gristle or
fat, and then chop it very fine, using
the finest knife on the food chopper.
Now, so that none of the material
may be left in the food chopper, put
just enough bread crumbs through
to work the meat out.
Now put through the food chopper
One onion,
One green pepper,
Six branches of parsley,
One leek.
To the above vegetables add one
half cup of any kind of meat, fish,
cheese or chicken that may have been
minced fine. Now add
Two teaspoons of sail,
One teaspoon of paprika,
One teaspoon of mustard,
Four tablespoons of mayonnaise
dressing.
One tablespoon of lemon juice. I
Mix thoroughly, and then this will
keep for several days. It may be I
served as follows:

third by using a border made by
chopped whites of hard-boiled eggs,
chopped fine.
Garnish the last method by fasten

For variety one-half dozen olives,

paste.

notice that many of jour correspondents

own friends I notice they nre also
changing their own beans alnioxt as
often as they ehnugc their clothes. As
for mjself, I have never had any beans
to change nnd I nm just beginning to
wonder what is wrong with me. Doc?,

I have mken good caro of my health,

that all other girls like and have many

those I have knbwn nil my life I have
never hncl much to sny, as we have
nothing in common. I never mnke a

They always seemed so joung nnd silly

nnd never got to know uny of the bojs

It then. Now. with. about three jeurs'

But I never meet anybody new, no

IF JACK had thought it easy for Nat
alie to play the ljart she had decided
on then he knew nothing about human
nature. It was as far from Natalie's
nature to play any kind of n part as
it would be for the vcrieft amateur to
play a subtle part requiring skillful
manipulation. Natalie was simple, she
was not complex, she did not know how
to play the part of a woman of the
world, but pride forced her Into the
role nnd she simply gritted her teeth
and decided to go through with it.
It all came about In this manner:
Isabel Carter had a grudge of long
standing against Ruth. She hncl never
forgotten that evening when instead or
playing n part herself nnd hiding her
true feelings she hnd made a fool of
herself over Nick (Tarson. It infuriated
her to know that Ruth knew her true

no man, could have lost her wits to tne
extent of admitting to Ruth in a wild

Carter! That, too, when she knew
quite well thnt Nick cared nothing for
her. nnd thnt he did enre lor jtntii.
Isnbel had virtually admitted her jeal
ousy, and since that eventful evening
she and Ruth hncl never met. Now he
wanted to strike at Ruth through Nat

'frank and rnudld about this, sometimes
It works and sometimes it doesn't. At
this father remarked, and as every real
live parent knows, every child requires
different trentment. I know pne homo

switched the routine all around and the
problem is not such a small one is mijh't
appear on the face of it. The children'
must get up as early as ever, and yet
In the majority of enses they are now
going to bed an hour later. It is harder
to get the older children to get to their,
lessons, too. Recently I heard a
teacher in the seventh grade say th'ei
hour ahead of time plan had made
quite a difference In the average of rec
itations. '
Of course, for the innumerable ad
vantages that dnj light saving brings
tn the nation this one disadvantage does
not weigh heavily. Yet at the same

anything?
Her mind leaped ahead as she lay

so hard to treat Jack as she had when
she had him down here away from other
people. But when they got bapk, to ,
the city, vvhnt then when he could
nlvvnjs hnve his way by giving business

live through long hours of vyondcring
where he was and still not show that
