This is the time that the prudent housewife will look carefully over the menus, select ing those that will appeal to the family. You know that unless the food is attractive and appetizing, no matter how good it is, those who labor all day in close office buildings will be unable to eat enough of it to keep them physically fit. Have a liberal diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and good desserts, with e minimum of meat. When the family likes fish the housewife's protein content of the menu is easily solved during the sum mer season, when this delicious food is to reasonably priced.

Mrs. Wilson Answers Queries My dear Mrs. Wilson Will you kindly publish a recipe for baking Virginia ham? I am a daily reader of the paper and enjoy your recipes so much. Mrs. A. W. B. Virginia Baked Ham Place the ham to soak in cold water for three hours. Wash thoroughly and cover one-half inch thick with a dough made of flour and water. Place in a moderate oven and bake six hours. Cool and then remove the dough and trim the skin from the fat side of the ham.

Place in a hot oven to brown and baste with the following mixture: One-half cup of sirup, One-half cup of water, One-half cup of vinegar. Mix thoroughly before using. My dear Mrs. Wilson Will you let me have a recipe for marma lade like the Scotch or English brands? I have often had on the other Bide what they call barn crack, something like coffee cake over here, only very much nicer. If you have a recipe for that also will you publish it some time ? Mrs. M. H. B. Oranges are very expensive at this season. The time to make orange marmalade is from November to February. Late in the fall a fea ture on the woman's page will appear on the canning and preserving of Oranges, lemons and grapefruit. This will give you many new methods and recipes. For barn crack use the Lebanon coffee cake mixture. My dear Mrs. Wilson Will you please let me have through your columns a recipe for fruit salad ? E. M. See Tuesday, June 8, on woman's kftgemc tM recipe-raquwwKi. There Are Plans Here, Tdo, for a Sunday at Home With a Dinner to Tempt a Jaded Appetite To prepare the fish: Open a small box of shredded codfish and turn into a piece of cheesecloth. Tie securely and then dip in hot water for two minutes and squeeze very dry. Add to the prepared mixture. Cold Boiled Ham Use for this either four and one half pound cut from the butt end of ham or small picnic ham. Wash and cook in a fireless cooker and then remove the skin and trim to shape. Rub into the fat part of the ham Four tablespoons of sugar, One teaspoon of cinnamon, One-half teaspoon of cloven. Mix well and sift before udng. To prepare ham for fireless cook- er. Prepare early Saturday morn I ing and bake late in the evening. f Cool and place in the icebox until Sunday. Cut in slices and place in , wax paper. Use the balance for emince of ham, ham loaf or ham croquettes and part of the left-over bits can be put through the food chopper for these dishes. At market for the first menu you will require One cantaloupe, Two squashes, One quart of tomatoes, Bluefish, One-quarter peck of potatoes, One-half dozen ears of corn, Lettuce, Plums, Three eggs. Four green peppers. And this would cost approximately about $2.25, without the usual staples. For the outing menu would require you Four loaves of bread, One-half pound of butter, One bottle of olives, One bottle of pickles, One bottle of salad dressing, Four and one-half pound cut of ham, One-half pound of potato salad, One quart of tomatoes, Lettuce, One head of cabbage, One green pepper, One-quarter peck of apples, One-quarter pound of salomi sausage, One can of salmon, Two eggs for cake, One package of sugar for icing. This would cost about $5. There would be sufficient meat left over for three other meals and while it is somewhat expensive, it will pay the stay-at-homes a big dividend in health to pack up the basket early Sunday morning and get out in the open. Take an old tablecloth and use paper plates, cups and napkins. Let the men folk -look to preparing the water for tea. Know the source of all drinking water for safety's sake. It would be poor return for a day's outing to have a member of the family ill through nejlect of this. If you possess a automobile, many extras may be taken along that will add materially to the com fort of the outing. The Question- Corner Today's Inquiries 1.

To Restore Black Lace Shawl To the Editor of the Tt'oman'a Page: Dear Madam Will jou please de scribe how to restore an old black lace silk shawl to the original color that has faded from the sun? F.

The- shawl can be pressed with a moderately hot iron pro tected between folds of Turkish towels. If the shawl is badly discolored nnd it is worth it, if this treatment will not suffice, I would ndvise taking it to the dyer's for consultation.

ARE THERE MORE SELFISH THAN UNSELFISH PERSONS? i Look Around Your Own World and See Virtue Built for, ' Every TF TOU want to throw n boomerang' into a Jaded summertime conversa tion ask those who loll whether" they think there are more selfish or unselfish people in the world. I remember a rather long and stormy session caused by this one evening and the experiment was on the whole very interesting. In the first place ideas on unselfish ness differ so. One man claimed that what we do in times of emergency is the real sterling test of whnt we nre. He quoted giving to the war relief or ganizations, doing volunteer nursing in the influenza, epidemic and so on. A chorus of "ayes" ngreed with him. But a quiet man way over in the corner in the dark threw n bombshell into the crowd by saying that nets in extrnor dinnry times like those cited had al most nothing to do with whether men nnd women were really selfish or un selfish at heart. They were surrounded with glamour, he nsserted. "I hnve seen," he said, "n man leave his own crowd nnd go up to n group of wall flowers at a dance nnd spend the rest of the evening trying to make the evening pleasant. Now I call that genuine unselfishness. The man who did that gave something money couldn't buy. Why should money be the measure of n man's unselfishness? He goes nbout mnking it like be plnys a game. He gives it away only to mnke it ngnin. Show me the man who gives up a rard game to stay home with his wife when she doesn't feel well, show me the woman who stnys home from the country club to tnlk to n very lone some but equally uninteresting neigh bor. I'll call both of them genuinely without thought of self!" Then as nn afterthought: "Ever see n man off on his summer vncntion tote a suitense to a milp-nway station for some drnb, uninteresting woman who happened to be staying nt the same boarding house?

KHQtf Day Ever see a young woman In a manless paradise divide the only eligible swain on the island with three other young women? She's more than a hero," The subject offers mnny interesting possibilities. The consensus of opinion in the particular discussion referred to above was that there nre more unselfish than selfish persons in the world, but personally I . am afraid I am inclined to disagree and stick to the convictions with which I went into the battle that night, i. e.. thnt the world is largely a-- self-mnde one. It is swinging far to xdnim as our quiet friend did thnt giving to the Red Cross nnd helping in the Influenza epidemic hnd nothing to do with genuine unselfishness. It is folly to say the women who bravely faced contracting the dread influenza did so for vain glorious motives and rash to make sweeping statements about what it did, nnd did not cost o give in wartime. But there is no denying that the small daily humdrum sacrifices call for more effort than the flaming big ones and that consequently most of us are prone to sidestep them. m 1 esmoi will soothe that itching skin The first applicatiorfof Resino'usually takes the itch and burn right out of ec zema and similar skin-affections.
