Nut sandwiches are always timely,
and a Jar of nut butter kept on tap
will prove useful many times. Any
nuts may be used. The easiest way to
prepare them at home is to run them
through the meat chopper. Then they
may be moistened with cream, olive
oil Cand this specially fine for a child
with any tendency to pulmonary trou-
bles) melted butter or mayonnaise.
Add salt to season and make more di-
gestible, and spread.
Cream cheese mixed with chopped
nuts make an excellent sandwich,
while moist gingerbread sandwich
with a filling of cream cheese and
nuts is something to remember.
SWEET SANDWICHES.
Most children have a prominent
sweet tooth, and a moderate amount
of sugary things are good for them,
especially in cold weather. To many
boys especially a pudding sauce sand
witch appeals very strongly. A bit of
hard sauce left over from the dessert
of the preceding day may be utilized,
or butter and sugar, creamed and fla
vored with current jelly or strawberry
preserve. White bread is best to use
with this filling. Molasses sandwich
es made of buttered brown bread with
molasses spread between are not to be
despised if the fingers can be washed
after eating, nor yet well-buttered
bread spread with a thick layer of
moist brown sugar. Best of al are
the maple sugar sandwiches, the but
tered slices holding between them a
thick layer of scraped sugar.
other sweet sandwich filings are
dates, stoned and pounded to a paste,
jam and marmalades of various sorts,
nut and fig sandwiches made by add
ing chopped English walnuts to a fig
paste. The paste is made of chopped
figs cooked to a paste with a little
water and favored with orange or
other fruit juice.

At BELIEVE in a college education
l. for girls said Admiral Erbin,
at dinner at jamestown, but the
girl who comes out of college thinking
that she knows great deal has not
profted by her four years course For
after all, it is but a smatterng that a
college education gives us.
Most girls know this Many do not,
The latter sort carry themselves SUI
perciliously, using big words, correct
ignorant persons grammar and fail to
make a good marriage. In fact, they
create a bad impression everywhere.
Thus there was a girl, a Vassar
girl, who got caught by the incoming
tide out on a rock The tide rose
higher and higher and the girl Shrek
ed and screamed madly for help.
Help came at last in the shape of a
grizzled old shellback in a flat-bot-
toned boat The girl, as soon as she
saw the shellback, recovered her poise
and said in her most affected manner:
'Ah, I knew some succor would
come if 1 but continued calling indie
fatigably.'
"The shellback scowled.
Wall, miss he said, If that's how
we express yer gratitood, the sucker'I
be burned if he don't row back without
ye.'"
A N energetic crusade is being made
IA on behalf OF clear speech among
American women. Following Henry
James famous criticisms of theil
faults, published during the winter and
spring, it is now printing a series Of
helpful practical articles by John ID
Barry, instructor of diction at the Am.
erican Academy of Dramatic Art, tell
ing women how they may refine theiI
speech. Mr.. Barry says, among Other
interesting things in the August Ba'
Ear:
1--WE can probably agree on what Oul
ideal speech ought to be: English
without a localizing accent in which
every syllable is pronounced tina
should be pronounced, in which every
word is clearly expressed and every
thought given its full value. This doei
not mean that We ought to strive Iol
rigid correctness. On the contrary, i
is a good plan for most speakers, espe
cially public speakers to avoid ever
those pronunciations authorized by the
dictionary that distract the attention
of the listener from the thought anC
center it on a particular word. Words
should be the self-effacing servants o
thought. During a play, sermon Of
lecture, or in any discussion, it is evi
dent, of course, that the listeners ough
not to be attracted from the main is
sues to the use Of a queer word or t.
the way in which a word has beer
pronounced. We all know speaker
who use words so rarely spoken tina
their speech becomes an object of Gu
riosity, sometimes amusing, sometime
annoying, or even painful, always al
