How to Use
Canned Provisions.

Vegetables such as tomatoes are
very useful in making soups. small

namenting a leg of mutton. When the
carrots and turnps are cooked suffi-
GENTLY. cut the latter i'm halves, slight
ly hollow out the center of each OF
these and fill the cavity OF some with
chopped carrot and of others with peas
The appearance, owing to contrast OF
color, is very appetizing.
Timed asparagus must be made quite
hot and served on toast with freshly
made white sauce or melted butter.
Good timed or bottled peas should be
small and Of a light green color. Hari-
cots. verts or French beans should be
made quite hot and served with a lit

THE COLLEGE
GIRLS ROOM

Bare. bleak and unattractive is the
room which the average college girl
takes possession of on the day on which
she makes her first acquaintance with
alma mater. Whether IL remains so de-
pends good deal on the college girls
own skill and taste.
When Angelina or Belinda first makes
acquaintance with the room that is for
four years to be her lesser home il usu-
ally contains an iron bedstead. a chif-
fonier, a dressing table. washstand, a
small painted table and q couple OF
chairs. This apartment is to be sleep
ing room, sitting room and study. yet in
attractiveness 1t has little to recon-.
mend ii for any purpose.
Most experienced college girls have
little stock of ornaments. pictures, rugs
and curtains, which they leave in the
care Of the porter from year TO year
The, arot term girls have no idea OF
what to bring. IL IL not until a girl is
almost through college that she knows
