Dressing Salads.

Most salads should be dressed just
before serving, whether French dress
ing or mayonnaise is used Celer.
or lettuce willis II left in oil and
vinegar. Celery shoule not even be
washed long before serving, as it
becomes rusty. Potato salad, how
ever, is an exception to the rule.
Potatoes take up large quantities of
oil and need to be very well mixed
with whatever dressing is used Sal
ads made of greens should always
be served crisp and cold. Canned or
cold cooked leftover vegetables are
we'll utilized in salads, but are best
mixed with French dressing, and
should be placed in the refrigerator
an hour or so before serving. Meats
for salads should be freed from skin
and gristle, cut into small pieces, and
allowed to stand with French dress
ing before combining with vegetables.

Meat Croouettes.

Put the meat through a cutter.
Any kind will do. Put your onion
through with the meat; mince a
bunch of parsley and season with a
little red pepper and salt. If they are
not well seasoned they are not good.
For quart Of meat l take half
cup of milk, put It on the stove,
thicken with cornstarch and mix with
the meat. When cool, form either
into cone shape or into round cakes.
Dip into bread crumbs, then an egg;
have deep boiling fat, as for dough-

is good for frying.

right they are splendid.--Mrs. NJ. r.,

PREPARATORY SCHOOLS.
A Strong Argument for Their Sup

When a few decades back the
father wished to send his son Or
daughter to school, there was no
choice for him except between the
old field school and no school at all.
and the usual condition was that q
few broken months of schooling
finished the education of the youth
or maid. The great step from the
common country school to the col
lege walls was too great to be over
come by the many. and it was Only
the few who received Il higher
education.
The need for intermediates SCHOOLS
has long been felt. but has not for
so long been realized. The appar-
ent advantage OF having a school
which will take the pupil from the
country school or town graded
school and give him or her special
training towards a life work and a
higher education. holds good when
it is looked into from every stand
point. The need Of the country i:

for the farm, or the professions, or
for the commercial lines of life: the
great cry is for mind which knows
how to think, and knowing how tc
think can act accordingly or direct
others to so act. The old motto OF
Nothing too much can be applied
here as elsewhere. 4 man does not
need too much education; the very
fact that it is too much implies that
it is more than good for him.
But few men or women ever stand
in danger of obtaining too much
training. The great peril is on the
other hand. And what is there that
will give the opportunity to the
young man or young woman anxious
to obtain a good foundation unless
it is the preparatory school? Based
