cheese, six cold potatoes, half q can OF
tomatoes, whole wheat and good white
bread, with dried and stewed fruit, and a
supper for six must be served at once,
says the Ladies Home Journal" From
these this menu may be prepared:
Egyptian Tomato Pudding.
Dry Toast CofIee
Potato Salad Gems
Stewed Fruit
A tomato pudding is very good. Put
into a stew pan the tomatoes. one pint OF
stale bread broken into bits, and the
cheese broken into nch cubes. Stir over
the IRE for FIVE minutes; add a teaspoon
full of grated onion and a dash Of cayenne
Turn into a baking dish, cover thickiy
with crumbs, dot over with bits of butter,
and bake in a moderate oven for twenty
minutes.
Cut the potatoes very thin. add one
onion sliced also very thin. Mix together
half q teaspoonful OF salt, a quarter OF a
teaspoonful OF p six tablespoonfuls
of oil and two of vinegar; pour over the
potatoes. Tos, and serve with parsley.
Because the milk teeth must. in the
course of nature. fall out in a few years,
10 give place to the permanent set, par
ents are apt to assume thai it is useless
to pay special attention to them; they
think it will be time enough to instruct
| the child in the care of the teeth when he
has his permanent set. This is a mistake.
In the first place 1t is never too early to
inculcatc good habits IN the child, and his
permanent teeth win always be better
taken care of If he has been taught to
brush the temporary set from the time
when he can use a toothbrush.
1t is also in the interests of the chiid's
and the mans good looks, comfort and
health that the milk teeth should be pre-
served as long as possible. One OF their
most important functions is to keep a
place in the jaws for the second set, and
If they fall out too soon the second teeth
may also come too soon, and out of their
regular place; then the later teeth will
not have room enough, and will be twisted
sidewise or pushed in front of or behind
the Others in the row.
The first teeth, like the second, are re-
CURED also for the proper mastication
of the food, which is all the more neces-
sary in the growing child, who needs
more nourishnseri .liin an Older person.
Finally the appearance of a child with
three or four open spaces among his
teeth is far from being attractive, AMI
parents should be ashamed to see them
as a consequence OF their WI neglect in
not watching properly over the preserva-
ton of the milk teeth.
AS soon as the teeth appear they
should be cleaned with a soft cloth, and
when the child is old enough a little
brush should be put into his hand. and
he should be taught the use Of it. After
this the mother or the nurse should see
that it is used regularly.
The mouth of every child should be el-
amined two or three times a year by the
dentist, and any little cavities should be
stopped with a temporary filing. Indeed.
as much care should be taken of the first
as of the second set of teeth, for they are,
in their temporary way,just as necessary
to health, beauty ard comfort.
The latest levy women have made on
the masculine wardrobe has been headed
by the hunting of England and Long
Island. 1t is the appropriation of the
long overcoat. Whereas mel have
adopted a special coat-the covert coat
for riding to hounds, which is short enough
to be worn comfortably while on horse
back and has been found so convenient
that it has bene generally adopted for
morning Wear-wome have seized upon
the Chesterfield. and. adapting it to their
needs, use ii when they are moving
about before or after riding 1t gives a
piquant appearance to a slight woman
and will doubtless be used for other oc-
casions than that for which it was or
iginally intended.
Many of the white pique dresses are
embroidered and there are black causes
which are h~and-painted. One little black
mule dress has tiny rosebuds and for
get-me-nots. painted on the 'ruffles that
trim the bottom Of the skirt and the
sleeves. 1t is a dainty creation and while
this remains in fashion, one cannot help
thinking how beautifully the girl of
artistic tastes may cover up the accident
spots or stains on an otherwise we'll
preserved gown with painted flowers.
There is even a remote possibility thai
the patriotic girl will paint flowers or
eagles on her dress if the exigencies of
the times bring her to such a pass of
patriotism.
freEch nurses are no niger wearing
muslin caps with long. streamers of wide
colored ribbons. That is quite out of date
in Paris. A "bonnet'or lace cap lined with
pink or blue silk, and without trimmings.
has replaced it. A wreath of ribbon
without ends is seen on some fine needle
work caps, but the ribbons are narrower
| thar those formerly used. Brittany caps
are seen in the Bots and parks, and the
| Bordelaise is met occasionally. 1t is a
silk kerchief carefully twisted over the
head. The Florentine headdress always
attracts attention, with its fine golden
pins run through raven tresses. An Alsa-
ian nurse is recognized by her big bow.
and a Spanish nurse by her black lace
mantilla.
Lemon juice In a tiny cup without han-
dies, and from which it is ladled with a
little silver spoon. is often handled round
at the 3 o'clock tea service instead of the
| sliced fruit. A little tray frequently holds
| the cup of lemon juice. the tiny Individual
decanter of rum and the little bowl of
lump sugar, that choice may be had of
the different condiments.
Among the new lamp shades the en-
pire effects are made of white stiff draw
