WILSON FOR APPETIZING CREAM SOUPS liTftev Furnish the Kind of V Bi Nourishment a Growing Family Needs and They Are Delicious Cream o Corn, Beet Puree, a Tempting Spinach Soup and. Others That Will Tempt You By MRS. M. A. WILSON (Capvrioht, tt19 hv Mrs. it A. TTtlion. All Rlohti Reserved l rpHE brawny Scot attributes his splendid physical condition to the liberal use of oatmeal, while the sturdy son of Italy prefers his pastas and those of central Europe like the rye bread. The American household has, until quite recently, preferred a liberal diet of meat. In many of tho Old World countries where meat. is always scarce, nuia, ""' and cheese may all replace expensive j meats. Fish, eggs and milk are well- . , . .v h nmdent ' known equivalents that the prudent, woman should keep in mind v'hen , arranging her menu. , The following foods will replace i the protein content of one pouna oi meat: Two quarts of skim milk, ten ounces of cheese, eight eggs, twenty ounces of fish, six ounces of peanut butter, one and one-half cups of dried ,-i navy or soy or neas or lentils. lima beans, cow When estimating the fat content,' till lower portions of these foods would be required and without the, loss due to shrinkage, etc., in cook ing. Now, with the exception of eggs, all the above foods are approx- j imately one-half the cost of meat. I It would be a real economy for! the large family to purchase a suffi-, cient' amount of milk to supply them with cream. To secure the cream use the cream dipper and remove the cream from the top. Then use the balance of the skimmed milk for breakfast cereals, cream soups for 'luncheons, sauces, custards and des- serts. Nourishing and delicious cream soups can easily and quickly be made from the various green sum mer vegetables. Cream of Onion Place two cups of thinly sliced onions in a saucepan and add one cup of cold water. Cook until soft aifd then rub through a fine sieve. I Measure and return to the saucepan, j and add one cup of milk for every cup of the onion puree and two level tablespoons of flour to every cup ' of milk. Stir to dissolve the flour,! then bring to a boil and cook slowly I ;for five minutes. Season, using salt , and white pepper. Serve, then add one tablespoon of butter to every quart of cream soup. Croutons or toasted strips of bread make a de licious accompaniment to cream soups. How to prepare croutons: Cut slices Of bread into one-inch blocks, and place on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Place in a tin , box or jar and seal. When ready to use just reheat to crisp and then serve. Stale bread may be used for this purpose. t Cream of Com, Supreme Use a corn scraper and then score and scrape the pulp from four large ears of corn, and rub through a sieve into a saucepan.

BLACK - AND -W HIT ' FROCKS NOW SMART This unusual gown is of black-and-white satin and calls for no further adornment than Its very original design A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose FOR some time I have been harping on thc wider skirt, feeling that it would not be long before its arrival, but I did not realize that it was quite so near until the other day, when "tea ing" at one of the big fashionable ho tels. There were three Trench women there, all wearing very full skirts. All were black frocks and all the skirts were short. Not short in the ordinary sense of the word, as one usually speaks of short skirts : two of these skirts were about to tho calf of the leg. One of the frocks was of black satin made very simply and unadorned, except for the narrow satin belt, which seemed to bind about the waistline. It made the waist look small the hips ap pearrd to bulge below and gave a blouse effect to the bodice. One of the other women wore a frock of black tulle; the design, too, of this was simple. The skirt was very full and striped with bands of jet about three inches in width, which ran up and down. The neckline was very low and the sleeves above the elbow. The bodice was trimmed with the jet after the same manner as the skirt, and the sleeves were plain. Of all three, I liked best the frock of black net hung over a foundation of black sntin. This skirt was extremely full and must have measured between three and n half and four yards in width. The skirt and the bodice were decorated with black velvet ribbon, about an inch in width and plnced about four inches apart, following the hem of the frock. The neckline, as in the other dresses, was low. The sleeves were of the net and shaped like the old angel sleeve, cut short at the front and flowing away from the elbow and finished with ribbon at the lower edge. With this was worn a huge black satin ?tc t, I f allOi bat, with a bunch of black paradise. Not only are black dresses very smart just now, but the black-and-white ef fects are also considered very chic. Most of the blftck-nnd-white frocks are very pronounced In their combinations. Here is a black-and-white combina tion that will give you an idea as to the way the black nnd white is used This is one of the imported dresses and is of black-and-white satin. Tho bod ice Is made plain, with thc neckline ex tending to the shoulders. The sleeves are short. The skirt is looped up on either hip. A huge flower uiade of black tulle ornaments thc girdle of tulle at the left side. (CepuriuM, Hit, tu Florenc Rote) Cook slowly until very soft and i then rub through a fine sieve.

I have splendid success with boiling or stewing, but when it comes to roasting or baking I am not so fortunate. Have studied the cooker thor oughly, but there seems to be too much steam created when it comes to roasting and the meat looks stewed. I leave the catch off for roasting or baking to let out the steam, but the result is the same I think they are splendid and the food tastes good.

"It was Ho.itrict." she gasped. "What of it?" he asked reassuring ly. "You know what she'll think." "f.et her think." "Oh. how ran you he so careless about it when it matter0 'o much? She will think I stole out here to meet you. She saw us standing that way. Oh!" And she buried her fare In her hands. Again Oeorge Everett's arms went out. but this time Ruth evaded them, sprang into the house and fled down the corridor to her loom. She opened the door noiselessly and was about to close it nfter her when she saw the door just across the ball. w-Mrli had evidently been ajar, close suddenly. It would not hae been no tieed if Ruth's eyes had not strained after it in the darkness. If she had llf1d out nny hopes that the white-robed nK"r hp hni SP(,n 8tarins out. nt thc balcony a few minutes before might not have been Beatrice they were gone She slipped out of her cont and flung if r.n n rVmtr. nml then, fearful that I Reott might think it strange that her I long coat should be out, she groped her i way over to it in me uarnaras and ! f.J !. 1a l.n carried it into the closet. She stood for a minute at the open window, and then suddenly flung her arms out to thc daikness. "Oh, what a tangle it all is'" she breathed, half aloud. She stood still a minute loouing oui ; men sne wrai ?oftl-v over t0 the b(d' um!r'SM'(1 nnd slid in. She shook and ticmbled when I bcott ' Scott spoke to her. "Ruth." "Oh, you frightened me I tho'ught I you were asleep." "Where have you been?" i "I couldn't sleep, so I stole out to I ihr, hnlrnnv for some air." She lay there beside him waiting for another question. Her heart whispered that perhaps he' would explain, thnt be fore they slept perhaps the tangled thing might be put right, but he said nothing more nnd soon his regular breathing told Ruth that he was asleep. To a woman it always seems-the strangest and most callous thing in the world when a man is able to sleep after n mu tual misunderstanding while the lies awake and agonizes over it. Never theless, it is nearly always so. Ruth lay avako looking out at the stars for a long time. When she finally slept, it was with the sleep of utter exhaustion, and she did not awake at the usual time next morning. Scott had gone downstairs without her and she hurried through her dressing Something told her that she ought to I be downstairs so ns to refute anything that Hentriee might say. If only Bea trice would say nothing, the whole 'thing would pass over, but Ruth did I not hope for such luck as that.

Is Bored With Boys Dear Cynthia As you have helped hundreds of lovelorn lads nnd lassies, I wonder if you will help me. First of nil I nm past twenty-four enrs old. Since I was sixteen I have had a countless num ber of beaux. I never thought enough of any fellow to marry, although I have had numbers of proposals, nnd always had the idea I would like to stay single and live nwny in a little cottage nil by myself when I was old. But oh, my, how my ideas have changed, nothing satisfies me. I have as many admirers as ever, ns none tnkes me for more than eighteen years of nge, but instead of being pleased with these attentions I nm bored to death. I tried going with a bunch of younger girls, who bored me with their silliness ; older women bore inc with their gossip. What am I to do? Are thfVe others in my predicament? If so, I would like to hear from them. They gay misery loves company. Now, Cynthin, please don't think because of this that I am "mopy" and "grumpy," far from it. 1 have just returned from a week's yachting party where I seemed to enjoy myself as much as thc rest. It is only when I get home by myself that I become discontented nnd wish I had some one to tell my troubles to; some one I could really lovr. Am I heartless, Cynthia? Or am I doomed to be just a DISAPPOINTED MARGOT. Twenty-four is not the time to begin to despair that you will never meet thc right man. My gracious, Margot, don t you know it isn t thc style to get married young nny more? At thc same time I want to sny this: You never know how interesting different young men nre until you begin to know them and how can jou know them if you allow yourself to be bored? It is a matter of allowing yourself jou see. There'R something interesting In so, so many people if you only bother to hunt for it. Why not try a different atmosphere? By that I mean for Instance, go into some kind of helpful activity like social service or settlement work In your spare time, lliat will bring you In contnet with new serious-minded and, nt the same time, jolly people.

The first step in this work is to se cure some large pieces of white blotting paper. Spread it in n sunny place. On this paper lay your leaves nnd blossoms.

In other words, it is reliable and sure to satisfy : Two quarts of rose petals. This does not mean petals that have fallen on the ground. They have lost their sweetness. I Nor does it mean the petals unfolded 1 from a burl. They are immature and ''"'king i Rweetness. But it means two roses. Keep each variety separate during the process of drying.

Long live the theatres, is one of our very best little civic slogans, nnd they couldn't live very long with out people to play on them. But the point I want to make is this: A girl who goeR on the stage absolutely for swears a permanent home and the things that go to make it up; things that, strange to say, only grow precious as you slowly learn that they are for ever to be just beyond your reach. Let us take the case, of Joan. She has been on the Btage ten years nnd Is now thirty. Many a time you hare probably seen her play, for she hns scored hits In any number of the big musical shows. As n rule she ploys the second lead thnt Is, the next im portant part to thc star. Five years ago this lfttle comedienne married a man in the profession the "lending man." But thc acquisition of n hus band hns meant nothing more of home life, for she nnd the "leading man" are invariably signed up in different com panies. Joan has tried giving up the stnge several times nnd feathering a little nest, but to what avail? With a husband playing Atlanta. Georgia, one week, and picking out a postmark in Timbuctoo thc next, It was too, to lonely. QO JOAN is back on the boards! J When she kissed me good-bv at the little platform that calls itself a sta .tiou there were tears in her eyes and she snid: "Don't you ever believe that any woman pnvs n higher price for her bit of fame than we do? If I ever have n daughter?" Hut just then the train came nnd carrier! the Girl Who Went on the Stage nwny from the blue luncheon sot and the warm-hearted doisles flint-. idled in the vase whose water sparkled in the sun. LESLIE KIFT thnt your efforts have been in vain that you have petals, but no odor. When you lift the lids in late Sep tember and j-ou mix the potpourri yoa will realize you arc mistaken. Then the odor will be distinct. uen tne petals aro mixed (our grandmothers used a huge china bowl and silver spoon) add one pound of lavender flowers. These you purchase at n nrug store; also one pouna or pow dered orris root nnd one-quarter ounce of musk. This latter is a liquid and helps blend the odors. Keep the mass in a covered container for two weeks after the final mlxtnr. Then it will be ready to be distributed mm j our rose jars, it you retain any to use in bags and boxes, keep it tightly covered until you are ready to use it. Should the jars apparently lose .their fragrance merely replace the covers for a day or two and they will be just as fragrant as ever when you again remove them. From Here and There The cost of building a house in Eng land Is three times ns much as before the war. The British Museum contains ' the oldest known examples of Chinese writing in the form of inscriptions on animals' bones. Although Germnny built 120 Zeppe lins during the war, never more than fifteen or sixteen were fit to take the air at one time. It Is generally conceded that the best , thiist-quenehing beverage is barley water. Next to that comes cold, weak tea with a dash of lemon juice in it. 1 Rely On Cuticura For Skin Troubles Ml drarKl'U; Sop 25, Ointment 25 & M, Tklram 25. v-,mplechrreot 'Cutlcor. Djl 6L.
