Oatmeal.

Eleanor: The so-called simple dish of
oatmeal becomes nightmare as it is usu-
ally prepared, and the haphazard methods
employed in cooking most cereals are
largely responsible for the many failures
and account for many of the jeers heard
concerning breakfast foods. This is not an
effort to booming breakfast foods, but SIM
ply an endeavor to show how, by proper
preparation. cereals may lie made to add
greatly to the value of the daily meals. The
common, ordinary oatmeal. such as

digestible and palatable and nutri-
tious: not the usual one or two hours
OF boiling, but four or five hours Of slow
simmering with the least possible stirring
This will give one plump grains, almost as

The sticky mass so repulsive to the fastid-

and much stirring. To obtain the best re-

Good Housekeeping.
Two schemes which have been most suc-
cessful in small companies are the chafing-
dish supper and the lunch basket supper.
Of course, we cannot use the chafing-dish
in the regulation fashion but IL is very at
tractive for the serving and an excellent
thing for keeping the food hot A menu
which would be acceptable for this supper
is the following:
Creamed Chicken.
Brown Bread Sandwiches. Veal Loaf.
Cabbage and CLERGY Salad.
Cake. Coffee.
The lunch basket supper was a less exc
pensive affair, but very jolly and a decided
success. The little baskets were filed be-
forehand with sandwiches OF different
kinds. two pieces OF cake. olives and
pickles. These were sold at the usual price
of the church supper and were then opened
on bare tables, picnic fashion. where hot
scalloped oysters, hot coffee and fruit were
served in addition Wooden plates and
heavy mugs were used and the additional
labor of filing baskets was more than on
set by the absence OF care In setting tables
and washing dishes. only the mugs and
forks ard spoons needing to be cared for
afterward. The picnic idea could be elab-
GRATED as far as one wished 10 DO SO, and q
picnic in the winter always makes Its own
welcome

You watched my bosom heave;
For you were the first man. Adam,

In sudden silvesy mist,
And the new-made earth shaken

To keep the hair bright and free from dust
without shampooing ii frequently, have
plenty of clean brushes and use fresh one
each day. Brush the hair down to the
scalp thoroughly. but not with sufficient
friction as to irritate the scalp. Separate
the hair and brush out the strands to dis

Protect the hair from dust when travelling,

correct the oily nature of your little daugh-
