WELL-BALANCED DESSERTS
A Rich One Should Follow a Light Meal, While a Heavier Meal
Cannot Have a Pudding, Pic or Custard After It.

thcSunchcnn nnd dinner. The nppotlte

plete' tho meal. Tills plves the thrlftv
housewife n renl opportunity to rbutid
(outji scanty irenl so thnt It will satisfy
i the .family In every way.
The usual rule of n llcht and dell-
' cate dessort with n heavy meal and a
rlch'dessert with a light meal will keep
the ialanre In the menu. Serve fruits,
junkets and water ices with dinners,
fdarincd with n heavv protein, such as
leefj pork, veal. When the menu has i
little or no meat and the made dishes
are Vrved iu place of the meat, then
1 we fan serve puddings, pies, custards,
' souffles to balance it.
Ih arranging and grouping jour des-
Iserta consider the food values of each
nnd then plan the balance of the menu.
Avoid serving large portions. The new
' school of serving prefers H small and
'medium portion to the old-time generous
htlnhtg.,

Dear Mrs. Wllsou Kindly let me
knuu through your column what will
keep potatoes white while I um peel
ing them. They are very white, but
after I add my butter and milk to
mush them thej get darkened. Also
how to cook steak. MRS. M. K.
Place the potatoes at once in sufficient
water to cover. Old potatoes are apt
to do this at this reason. The proper
way to cook beefsteak is to broil it.

my partner and I were In quite a hurry
during the noon hour. Incidentally, we
were Just as hungry as we were busy.
Consequently we entered the .flret hash
lolnt we passed Instead of Joining the
more deliberate members of tho "Hound
Table."
The tables were fairly well filled.
Across from us sat two girls, one of
whom woa, extremely pretty and. as we
soon learned from their conversation,
known as "Betty." They arose- before
we did. My partner looked up and bid
Betty "Good-by." Batty smiled and
returned the compliment

IT'S A PRETTY

,Shid Leonora JFJten, the Newly
Diamond That Was So IVojiderful to Her. '
Are All Women Catty? - " '
' - ' - . . '
SHE was woaringi her ring to work
for thn first time", and she thouzht
It was the most wonderful, 'beautiful
ring sho hnd ever seen,
JIt's only n .small diamond," she
would say, carh time. "But it's a vcrv
good one, .nnd ,1 like a small one much
better thnfl these crrat ble tliines of
course, that sound like sour grapes, but
tt really isn't at all. izvo always HKeu
a little stone better."
And so'bn, dreadfully liappy aud proud
over it all, but just n little apologetic
for fear some one would think she
wasn't pleased with her ring.
All of which was totally unnecessary,
for If she had just thrust out her hand,
and let her face beam as it wanted to,
the whole story would have been told
without a word front her.
Then she showed it to Xicouora. whose
sewing machine is just opposite hers in
the workroom.
"Yes, it's n very 'sweet little ring."
said Leonora in a kindly tone. "Of
course," she went on, raising a flashing
left hand to nrrnngehcr hair, "mine's
larger 1" '
WAS it a sound that came in the
open windows, was it Imagination,
or was it really Echo, whotinswcrcd
"Miaou"?
Whatever Its n-mrce. It was tlmelv.
Whr nre glr's so catty? there's no
other word for it.

Was she so smnll so mean, that hen.
spirits were lifted or Tier soul refreshed
by the effect of her scratchy words? .
What a petty, nasty, little triumph to

Surclr Bhe must have felt Just a tiny.
human little pang of remorse at the hurt
Bho had given.
let there aro many girls who take
cold, hard joy in giving those slaps in
the faco with their words.
They know beforehand what effect
their retorts will hnvo. but they make
them in cold blood with a desire to hurt.
Thev cannot endure seeing nnother
girl iu possession of something that may
bo better than the thing that they have.

withdrawing his dripping blade, slowly,
grinning over his cruel victorj'.
