APPETIZING LUNcHEONS.
The MONDAY Meal Should Be Made
Not Only Palatable But
Attractive.

Luncheon Is usually woman's meal.
as in a majority of families the men
can only appear at the table morning
and evening, says the Boston Herald.
Such being the case, it too frequently
happens that mistresses allow this
meal to be- prepared and served in .
careless, even sl0vsnly fashion, and
that tAe dishes are but too palpably
q rehGSh Of previous meals.
Now there Is no reason why the re-
mains Of yesterdays roast should not
serve for to-day's luncheon, but there
is no need of serving it in an unap-
petizing manner; nor does it follow
that because the meal Is simple one
the maid should shirk her duties or
perform them in slip-shod fashion.
Remnants often taste better in COM
bination than in their original form,
but they should appeal to the eye az
well as to the palate, while the maid
who is allowed to be careless at lunch
is soon likely to be equally slack at
breakfast and finally at dinner.
Scientists tell us we should seldom
indulge in a meal Of exclusively cold
dishes, and one well made hot dish
should always appear at the lunch ta-
BILE. It may be only thick soup, but,
If hearty, q potato or egg salad and a
cup of cocoa or chocolate will make q
satisfactory meal. So many combiha-
tons as we'll as omissions Of courses
are allowable that there should be lit
tie difficulty in planning luncheons,
while the housekeeper who Is fond Ct
cooking and takes pride In originating
dishes can make this home meal her
trump card without any appreciate
money expenditure.
II the other dishes are not very SUBJ
stantial in character they may be
helped out by a hearty soup. Any
number of cream vegetable soups may
be evolved from the following general
directions: Mash the vegetable and
press through sieve; if not sufficient
ly tender, boil or steam until it can
be pulped. For each cupful Of pulp
make thin white sauce with one Ia
blespoonful of butter, one tablespoon
and a half of -four and one pint Of
milk. Add seasoning to taste, mix
gradually with the pulp and simmer
for five minutes. Serve with this crou-
tons or oyster crackers. In place Of
cream, gravy or any meat stock may
he used. the -four being first Drowned
in the butter.

AN EXPENSIVE INITIATION.
Candidate for College Society Menu
bership Heavily Taxed in
Doing Stunt.

Many are the absurd tasks that the
candidates for initiation into certain
college fraternities are compelled 20
perform before they are entitled to full
membership. Miss Nancy Shykes an
elderly spinster whose home was in
college town, was surprised one morn
ing by visit from a young man in
fantastic garb, relates Youths Com
panion.
Good morning, madam" he said,
lifting his jaunty little straw haiti
was in the dead Of winter. This is
Miss Shykes, is it not?"

me?"
Il am sent here" he replied, with
the utmost solemnity, "by the Eta Bit
ia Pie society, to sweep your kitchen,
paint your house, attend TO your stoves,
milk your COW, or do anything else you
want me to do l await your orders,
madam"
Miss Nancy, who was a woman OF
rare self-possession, reflected a mo-
ment.
Gall these things have been attend
ed to, young man." she said, rubbing
her nose, "but you may pay OF the
mortgage on my house"
How much is it,"
-Four hundred dollars"
ct shall be done, madam" he said,
without the slightest change in the ex-
preston Of his face. II wish you good
morning."
He lifted his straw hat again, bowed
profoundly, and was gone.
It only remains to add that the young
man, who was the only son Of rich
parents, and could well afford the sum
out of his allowance, was as good as
| his word.
