EVERYDAY GOOD THINGS ATE way to cook ham, and one not very well known, is: Baked Ham Steak. Have a slice of ham (one and one- half inches or two is not too thick) from the center of the ham, trim it nicely and place in a baking pan. Sprinkle lightly with mustard and thickly with brown sugar. Around the ham lay six cloves, a bay leaf, one- fourth of a cupful of carrot cut fine, ane one-half of a cupful of celery cut into bits. Add one-half cupful of hot water, cover and cook an hour, then uncover and cook until tender. Serve on a hot platter and garnish with small mounds of cooked seasoned peas, carrots, string beans and glazed turnip. Glazed Turnips. Pare white turnips and cut into balls with a French cutter. Cook them in boiling salted water until tender, then drain, Put two tablespoonfuls of but- ter in a frying pan and when melted add one tablespoonful of sugar, then the turnip balls and fry them until well browned. Black Walnut, Cheese Sandwiches. Mix one cream cheese with enough cream to moisten nicely, add one-half cupful of chopped black walnut meats, season with salt, cayenne and a bit of black pepper. Serve on buttered rye bread. Serve with hot cider for a night lunch. Fried Apples and Onlons. Take green apples cut into thin slices, cut onions into slices and cook them for a few minutes before adding the apples. Use butter or bacon fat to fry them. Serve hot as a garnish to pork or sausage. Chicken Salad Eclairs. Have ready fresh eclairs (they may be bought at any bakery). Remove a slice from the top of each and fill with chicken salad. Replace the top, insert a small piece of crisp lettuce in each end allowing them to curl slightly over the top. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with olives, salted nuts and coffee at a bridge party.

There should be a business-like apportionment, of what you earn, to your needs and your tastes. You will have to assign so much to rent. There will have to be an al- lowance for food and clothing, for the doctor aad the dentist, for amusement and pleasure, for necessary travel and for unnecessary exiravagances, for we all have our extravagances. All these things will be promptly listed and thoroughly looked after. We shall probably be particularly lib- eral with those items which mean the least in the sum total of human hap- piness. The last thing that will be thought about, and the most scanty allowance will be made for it, will be the de- velopment and betterment of our minds. so 4 How much money did you spend last year on worth-while books—hooks you are keeping to read a second time —books that added to your wisdom or gave you something valuable to think about? How much time did you spend in filling your mental storehouse with facts useful in daily life and valuable in your daily work? Did you spend as much for informa- tion as you did for gasoline? If you were to add together all the time you spent gaining knowledge, would it be half the time that you spent dancing? - . - Do not consider that money is the only thing you spend. Time is your much greater asset. You ‘can earn more money. You cannot, with all the wealth of all the universe, in all the ages, buy one minute of time nor bring back for another and a better use a wasted hour. - - * Lord Brougham, his time wisely down this short a man who spent and profitably, wrote sentence filled with good advice: “Read something of everything and everything of some- thing.” There is no excuse for any man, woman or child past twelve years spending less than half an hour a day with a good book. Reading carefully and thoughtfully you will cover not less than 150 words That is 4,500 words a day. One million six hundred and forty- two thousand words a year. How much wiser do you think you would be if you did that for only one year? Knowledge is the freest, the mast inexpensive thing in the world and we think less of it than of anything else. Stop making a pet of your stomach. Stop worrying about your clothes. Give up some of the useless things upon which you spend and waste your time and your money. Make up a budget of your earnings and your hours that shall have in it allowance for your mind, for. your intelligence, for your think- ing powers. What you have inside your head no robber can get, no Ponzi can transfer to his pockets. Not even old age can and perhaps not even death can take it away from you. mind. Feed Care for it.

PEOPLE OF NO IMPORTANCE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH [ EOPLE of no importance, people P like you and me, People the proud will push aside, the fawners fail to see, People who bear the burdens, people who write the songs, People to whom no heaped-up wealth, to whom no crown belongs— Once in a while we wonder, once in a while we ask, We who toil with the pick and pen, we with the humble task, Just why the good Lord made us, why we were born to earth, When, in the minds of the fawning few, only the great have worth. Well, IT will make you answer, well, I will write a rime Just for the folks like you and me who never the heights will climb, People with saw and shovel, people with pick and pen, People who sweep the kitchen floor, the servants of serving-men, Yes, I will niake you answer, answer not you, but them, All who worship the golden calf or kneel to a diadem, Yes, I will shout the answer, answer them loud and clear— Maybe they scoff at the humble man, but maybe our God will hear: Here is a house of splendor, here is a castle grand, Here is a ship that salls the seas, hur- rying land to land, Here is the frowning fortress holding the foe at bay, Here are the churches fine and fair where even the great must pray. Here is the level highway stretching to towns afar, Here are the bright and shining rails, here is the speeding car, Here are the carving, gilding, high on the marble wall— People of no importance builded them, after all Painters have painted pictures, poets | have written lines, Some one has melted iron or brass or labored among the pines, People of no importance, people lke | you and me, People the proud will push aside, the fawners fail to see. This is, T know, the answer, this is the | true reply: God made poets and God made men, and this is the reason why— People of no importance, yes, even the | fool who sings, Are the people of most Importance in the final scheme of things.

There is a lot of money in it, although an undertaker is the last person I want to spend money with, But a lot of people do spend money with them, and all the under- takers I ever knew seemed mighty nice fellows. “All women, Kelly, feel it is their business to reform every man they meet. I am certainly proud of that guy who just went out. The only trouble is that as soon as they get all made over to suit you, they expect you to marry them, and, Kelly, that’s too high a price for any girl to pay for a remodeling job. After all, a man who has no more strength of charae- ter than to let a woman make him over will make a mighty poor husband.” (©, by the MeNaughi Syndicate, Inc.)

A sumptuous combination this and one which is outstanding in the pag- eantry of midwinter evening frocks. It is not enough to refer to the beau- tiful pearl-worked black velvet dress, which is the “last word” from Paris, as merely a beaded gown. There is little in common with these exquisite hand-embroidered creations and the “popular” glittering machine-beaded georgette types. The be-pearled black velvet gown stands in a class all its own, If you would get an idea of the pearl-beaded and silver-embro!dered are so fashionable, one welcomes the short-coat vogue, for together they produce a chic and youthful silhouette, A very interesting short-coat model is shown in the picture. Perhaps you are questioning in your own mind as to the material employed for the development of this charming coat. Velvet, of course, is the an- swer, for veivet is one of the smart- est of midwinter cloakings. This pretty coat in the pleture might just as well have been made of black velvet with a rich dark fur trimming, but the creator of this girl- ish wrap decided on a beautiful vi.

Another partnership of pearls and velvet is registered in the realm of millinery. The latest French im- ports include cunning black velvet chapeaux encrusted with white pearls most elaborately designed. Velvet, how often we repeat that word this season. It is not at all sur- prising that the evening coat worn over this handsome pearl-patterned selvet dress in the picture, is also of velvet—brilliant sapphire blue, if you please, This marvelously befurred wrap is heavily enbroidered in metal thread across the shoulders.

And so he began to get his valen- tine ready 'way back in the autumn when the trees had turned red. He would fly from tree to tree and spend hours each day looking for the most beautiful and perfect leaf, and he wanted it to be a real crimson color, At last he found it and put it away in his nest, very carefully covering it over with moss and straw to keep it well protected and so it wouldn't fade or shrivel up at the ends. Then a few days before Valentine's day he got a little stick, which he Miss Robin Was All of a Flutter. | stuck through the red leaf, which he i had pecked off into the shape of a heart, and this was the valentine he sent to Miss Robin.
