breakfast and luncheon these warm
days is one of the vegetables that ae-
NIT of being fried. Eggplant, tomato,
or squash is appetizing served either
plain or Dreaded. Corn fritters are
delicious breakfast dish. 1t must not
be forgotten, however, that lean meat
is, in hot weather, to be preferred TO
the starcby vegetables. Special care
should be taken in the preparation of
fried dishes that they may be as free
from grease as possble.-New York

In pleasant library and living room

the children. These are now of the
second generation, who come TO grand
mas house as to Mecca of delights
that never pail. A low bookcase slip
ped in corner next to the big old fash
toned one holds the gayest and dearest
of children's books, including those
classics alice in Wonderland and
Jungle Tales.' A child's chair is al
ways in front of the collection in ex-
pectant welcome. The lower part of
the big mahogany case that comes next
has ample cupboards to hold fascinating
toys and games to tempt when books

grandma's. The sheet is spread out
and all litter of games kept upon it, the
toys returned to their places, the sheet
rid of bits, folded and put away when
play is over. In this way the tidiness
of the room is never infringed upon
and yet the inestimable privilege of
playing fright with grandma and aun-
ties" is always secured.
