An Emergency Shelf.
The clever little girl wife had |
shelf that she kept stocked with spe
cisl prepared foods that could b

niece out a meal that might be am
nIs for two but would be scant fol
four soup, salad and a nice de
sert will carry almost any repasi
through with eclat, and the ingred
tents for producing these in short or
der were never lacking on her shelf
The Best Grade Foods.
ONLY the best garde foods were
hought in this form, for Mrs. Newly
ued knew that as a rule you get only
what you pay for and in the end it
was real economy to buy the reliable
nigh class brands, If you are partcu'
lar as to your table. In very few
Minutes a can of soup (the kind with
nicture of a little chef was Mrs.
Newlywed's chofce) could be heated
and an assortment was kept on hand
en- that she could select substantial
mock turtle or delicate consomme TO
spit the other articles on her menu,
and the taste of her guests. As both
members of the Newlywed family
we're fond of salads she always kept
q supply on hand of lettuce, endire or
Uatercress. tomatoes, radishes, Gu
cpmbers. beets or other vegetable ma
terials.
Chicken, Lobster, sardine and Shrimp.
Her canned stock contained whole
chicken in Jelly; lobster, sardines'
shrimp always and often a much long
er LIST of edibles that could be readily
served in the shape of an appetizlng
salad. Two chatting dishes were
among the most useful wedding pres
ents that she had received, and John
was more of an expert in this fas-
cfnating form of cookery than she her.
self was. Nothing pleased him more
than to have an opportunity to snow
his skill with the Blazer" and as
everyone knows, nothing tastes quite
as delicious as goodies cooked before
ones eyes in this way. Even simple
scrambled eggs assume an unusuai
attraction so prepared, but johns
performance went far beyond such
elementary cookery.
A Jelly omelette.
He could turn out a jelly omelette
that made a desert fit for a king, ana
had a knack for concocting sauces
that made the simplest rechauffe or
left over meat or fish dish to be-
marked with a red letter ever AFTER
ward in the memory of his guests.
Never was hospitality more generously
offered than by these young married
people. and however simple the re-
mast might be it was always gally
: hared. and served with grace lhat
shamed many more pretentious estap-
lishments.
Sunday Night Tea.
SUNDAY night tea was invariably
planned with the iEea OF being IN feao'
mess for the friends sure to drop IN
for this much appreciated bit OF nome
ness that the Newlyweds shared Win
all who came. 1t was an occasion
when the hostess was expected TO ACT
only as a consulting member OF the
nartv. The table was in readiness
for a buffet tea, and the various dlshes
had been prepared in advance, SO tnat
they needed only to be placed on the
table.
Picnic Teas.
Picnic Teas" were what Mrs. New
,ywed called these, and she aValleu
herself of every convenience that the
name suggested to make this Al fres-
co feast go off easily. Paper napkins
the all white rather substantial ones
that can be had at any store "here
Oriental goods are kept, replaced the
linen napery. All the hot disne
were made in the Blazer
md at the end the gay party cleared
he table in short order, placing Tue
fishes in Mrs. Newlywed's patent oisn
washer, but that must be told an
,ther time.
