Japanese Salad.

Varieties in salads seem to multiply.
and while vegetable salads are a good
deal alike, there is always a culinary
fascination about anything Which seems
new. Here is one which is called Jap
anese, but which, so far as consistency
is concerned, might be made here at
almost any season, for any on all kinds
of vegetables may be used. Mention is
made, however, of carrots. 9turnips,
Snapbeans and so on, which, should be
cut up, then boiled in water With salt
and butter. Drained then, they are
seasoned lightly with salt, BLACK pep
per and vinegar, and a few green peas
which have been cooked, mashed and
we'll drained, are added. On the salad
dish pyramid is formed and covered
with mayonnaise and lettuce, while as
paragus vines are wreathed as a gar
nish. To accept theS Japanese idea,
tiny Japanese umbrellas might be lined
with stiff paper and the salad served
in them.

Miss K. Maude Clum was reelected
president of the Grade Teachers fed
Grafton yesterday afternoon at the an
nuaI meeting held at the Commercial
club, but declined positively to serve.
An effort was made to induce Miss
Flint, one of the organizers of the fed
GRAFTON, to accept the presidency. but
she also declined. After some dis
cussion it was decided to let the ballot
stand in hopes that Miss Clum might
reconsider her refusal. Other officers
were elected as follows:
First vice president, Miss Lillian c.
Flint; second vice president, Miss J..
Il. Mcmillan; recording secretary, Miss
Violet Battelle; corresponding secre-
tary, Miss Flora Smalley; treasurer
Miss Emma Robb; federation secre-
tary, Miss Flora Rood.
In her annual address yesterday Miss
Clum congratulated the association on
the fact that it had decided to remain
an independent organization, instead OF
merging with the Taylor Memorial as
ISOLATION and the ST Paul Teachers
association. She stated that the fed
Grafton was now in excellent condition.
with every prospect of carrying out
satisfactorily the work it had mapped
out.
The treasurer reported yesterday that
the hospital fund now amounted to
Sl36.19. This fund was started during
Miss Clums administration for the
purpose of aiding those teachers who,
are i'll for a long period, and do not
receive their salary for the time they
are absent from duty Besides this
separate fund, the federation has al
most $50 in its treasury. The annual
meeting yesterday was largely attend
ed, about $50 teachers being present.

in Australia is a more important factor
in housekeeping difficulties than il is
anywhere else, almost. In the temper
ate weather the housekeeping has GER
tain obstacles arising from the pc

during four months of the year it is
simply futile to try to keep house
properly in this part of Australia. For
four months at a stretch the sky is a
dome of perfect. cloudless, deep blue.

steadily until the thermometer regis

housewife is in sore straits. Unless
exceptionally strong and wiry, she
gives up the contest altogether. and the
