MRS. WILSON SUGGESTS THE WAY
TO VARY SAMENESS OF MEALS
Getting Into a Rut in tiej
Matter of Menus Causes
the Family Appetite to
Fall Off
How a Nourishing Dinner
Should Be Planned and'
a Discussion of Each'
Course
By MIIS. M. A. WILSON
Cosvrioht, mi. ; Mrs. it. I. UVjon
-111 Ifplits nescrictl.
iETTING into a rut of havinpr the
same f qpds day after day causes .
tho family to become tired of these
foods, and, no matter how good, Ihe-y
fail in their mission to nourish the
body and supply strength, because
tho family has lost its liking for
these foods.
Unless there is keen enjoyment in
eating food, the body fails to receive
from this food the maximum amount
of nutriment. For this reason epi
cures and others who have made a
study of the effects of food upon the
body urgo that an abundant diet of
plain, attractive food be served. It
should be varied from day to day
both tho food itself and the manner
of preparing and serving it.
Food that docs not attract repels;
to obtain tho full value, tho very
sight of tho food should stimulate
tho secreting glands in the mouth
and make one long to cat the food.
Nor is it well to select only those
favorite dishes to the exclusion of
those that we caro less for and to
plan to have certain meats on cer
tain days. Business folk should have
a good breakfast, a light luncheon
and a good, substantial dinner.
The evening meal should consist
of a clear soup, meat or its equiva
lent, one starchy vegetable, one
green vegetable and a salad and u
dessert, if cared for. The meal need
not bo expensive, nor should it re
quire long preparation, as mo&t of it
may be prepared during the morn
ing while tho usual routine work of
the kitchen is under way.
Use the trimmings from the meat
and the' bones for making the stock1 housewife, for surely the cloth may gpst u nipuu that would b suitable for
for the soup or use a clear tomato , bo snow white, the china free from Hnlloiu-eu nrty? V II. II

into meat pics. Croquettes and cut
lets may also be included in this list;
they can be made from fish, eggs,
cheese, dried peas, beans and lentils,
and they may be used to renlacc
meat.
Fresh and salt fish during the sum-
mer and early fall are reasonably
priced and should bo served two or
three times each week, in various
ways.
The starchy vegetable may he
cither sweet or white potatoes,
noodles or any variety of the maca
roni pastes, hominy, fried mush or
wheat cereal.
,P, ,.f0Mc flnrino- iho
Tho green vegetables during the
winter months may be spinach,
brussels sprouts, cabbage, beets, car
rots, turnips, onions, parsnips and
squash.
The salads made from celery,
watercress, cabbage, romaine, endive
and lettuce will afford a splendid va
riety, and when dressed with .1' rench '
mayonnaise or Russian dressing they i
should provide a wide range.
Desserts may be divided into four
classes, namely, fruits, such as
prunes, dried peaches, apricots, cher
ries, figs, dates, baked or stewed
apples; various desserts made with
out milk, such as brown betty, upple
or dried peach or apricot tapioca, i
boiled rice with .apple and other
dried-fruit sauce, ginger biead and j
tho gelatins; desserts made with i
milk, boiled or baked custard, tapioca
and snow pudding, rice custard,
plain rice and bread puddings, j
cereals and Indian puddings, short-1
cakes, layer and fruit cakes, junket,
and frozen desserts.
It is a good plan to follow a light,

'Advice to "Zadee"
Dear Cynthia Iu tcply tn Zadcc's
appealing letter in Saturday, evening's
Issue, muy I express to her through
your paper a few words of encourage
ment'' I. a commissioned officer in the navy,
with more than two years of tenicc hi
Kurope. have seen all classes of women
in all the prominent cnuptiits of tho
Kast and from observation I would say
that the girl that appeals to me most is
one who doesn't have n string of men
trailing after her, but one who appre
ciates her home and surroundings.
t nder.stand mc, I don't sny that a
girl shouldn't go to u dance, private, of
course ; to the theatre, to teas, or any
where she may derive, pome means ot
enjojment, but for your own. your fu
ture husband and family's sake don't
think of every night being on the go.
Your parents should entertain in your
honor. IIae a nice crowd of girls and
bojs at your home some evening and
show them that you are the best little
hostess them is and have things at
tractive, add something to have them
talk about, and make them go away
with the feeling that you aie all that
could be nsked, a queenl, woman.
Any other inquiries which should come,
up in joar mind I would be moie than
pleased lo try to answer
, i;nsign.
An Antwer to "Zadee"
Dear Cynthia "Cadre's" letter is
indeed a refreshing draft in these
pell moll modern times when "common
senso" is "uncommon."
lVsibly "Zndee" has a manner hid
den and secreted about her person that
she is not aware of. Do jou appear
in public like a first cousin to on ico
trust? Do you assume a holier-than-thou
attitude? Do you take on tho
high and mighty exclusive role of rent
profiteer who is monarch nt all lie sur
veys? Again, although just dying to
get acquainted, you may slice and kiss
the windy ozone, completely wrapped up
und surrounded with the outward sug
gestion that "Zadcc'' is a silk-lined
girl. One of those who would say
"pooh" to anything in trouera that
wasn't tailor-mndV and n icady-to-weur
Miccees. Something in the 1020
model class, the sort that is nicely
cleaned, scoured and nrescd. easy to
slip on and "show off ' to the neigh
bors. Haven t you put tco much depend
ence on that good dress allowance?
Most girls do, and theieby defeat the
very end for which it is intended.'
Courtship is romance, but marriage is
reality and realities hiiic the unpleas
ant trait of demanding attiuities like
needles, cheeses, lent and "some nudder
dings." Why not attend the freo li
brary a few nights iu tho week, leave
"swell fronts" nlone, for a while, read
serious subjects mid do some "interior
decorating"? Take unto your self n
useful fad and hug it close to the bosom.
Appear to the passing crowd as some one
with a mission, some one with a fause
for being here, not simply a block of
wood that's just sticking around and
tvnillni fnr n fnnnrnl
in MU " -" ............
withN Personality is n possession, my dear
and "Zadee," which is not to be lightlj
sneezed at. It's that magnetic some
thing that draws us on in spite of our
selves, demands applause and encores
after the first meeting and makes one
I forget material things us we gaze down
f'W deen into the clear, limnid ilontli of
i steady
unblinking eyes. It makes us
think of slippers and the fireside, nnd
"a skin you love to touch." IIoweer.
I'ip not the shadow of an uncertainty
that "Zadee" will tome out on the
sunny side of life. Her mental pictme
proves that, und iu duo time she will
meet her heart's desire, lire man of mrn
and all the world will seem good, true
and blessed. KENSINGTON.

MOTHER ALWAYS KNOWS
JUST WHERE TO SEARCH

In Order lo Put Her Hand Right on the Thing That Albert Has
Been Looking for So LongJ-ti Vain
nioiiitiii was
sitting quietly in
J.TJL(
tho living room darning Johnny's
socks. Johnny rushed in, hair on end,
eyes wild, voice high. "Hey, whore's
my bicjclo?"hc shouted, "I left it right
there "
"Across tho riath where everybody
could fall over it," interrupted Mother
calmly. 'So I put it away on the back
porch whero it belongs." She smiled
at him Berencly. Johnny closed tho
mouth that had been hanging open in
righteous indlgnntion and departed,
much in tho manner of a hurricane.
Mother returned peacefully to tho largo
iioie mat was surrounded by a remain
der of Johnny's stocking.
After dinner- that evening Mother
was called abruptly upstairs by a loud
roar from Albert, her older son, seven
teen, just beginning to go to largo
evcningaffnirs. Sho found him wan
dering aimlessly around his room iu his
bathrobe. "Where's my dress Bhirt?"
he demahded. "I've looked all through
the drawer and oh, everywhere. What
did you do with it?"
"Did you look carefully?" inquired
Mother. And, opening tho drawer, bTio
lifted a few clothes, found tho shirt and
in about two seconds handed it to the
jopen-mouthed Albert.
TTAVE
you ever notiied tho method
a boy
use in looking for a lost
treasure? He searches speedily in the
place where ho left it, if ho can remem
ber where that was ; looks vaguely in the.
general direction of corners, under
chairs nnd tables and oven casts a des
perate glanco up the walls and at the
ceiling. Wbon he has exhausted every!
resource to tho best of his ability he
runs to Mother and demands breath
lessly, "Where?" And sho is always
able to tell him. It seems to bo a part
of the tnuch-talkcd-of feminine intuition
to know where everj thing is, or at least
where und how to look for it. Perhaps
if boys were trained from babyhood to
look for their possessions until they
found them, hey would grow up with
greater ability to keep track of things.
It might save them a great deal of

trouble. No doubt it would save Motlietf
much time. Utit I wonder whfthcr it
wouldn't deprive her of a great deal of
pleasure, too?
WHKN Albert was a chubby llttlo
bunch of active helplessness, throw
ing his rag doll ocr the side of his
coach, then exploring vainly forit with
wlggly, fat arm, Mother used to lovo lo
pick it up and give it to him, -just to
be rewarded by tho delighted smile and
gurgle with which ho always took it.
After ho got old enough to leave hhJ
iron toys and bicycle in tho way ot
every passerby, Mother used to scold a -
bit when sho came across them and put)
them away, but it was amusing to seo
tho puzzled wrath on hfs face turn to
satisfaction when she told him whero
they were.
Now she loves to get that appreciates
grin and sheepish blush that the seyen-tcen-ycar-old
gives her when sho locates
some lost nrticlc that was right under
his hand all the' time. And, later on,
when Albert begins to lose his pipe and
tobacco, it will still bo worth the trou
ble, to watch his expression when sho
replies, "Ilight whero you left it, dear,
on the sldo table." Yes, I'm sure that
if boys over learned to search for things
in tho right place nnd find them, lothei?
would feel as if half her mission in, lift)
had been taken torciniy away irom her.
