there IS plenty OF 1t about. But no, that
is not the time when IL is saved. 1t
IS then that it is spent. Everybody
spends it-goveInments, railroads. cor

pand their wants in such times. and
satisfy some Of them, and then is when
it Is most OF all impossible TO live on
anything q year. But after ell the
money has been spent a few times over
and has begun TO be scarce, and bOr-
rowing has come TO be a serious mat
ter. and folks have much less 70 spend
and no expectations; then everybody
gr0ans and begins TO save, not only
trying desperately 70 squeeze back in
side OF the bounds OF income, but TO
pay back what was spent in expectation
Of a time when saving would have be-
come convenient.
To most Of us that time never comes.
And yet there are things for which we
spend more than we can afford, that
really do justify our expenditures, so
that after the money has been spent

we would still rather have what IL

ENGLISH MONKEY
TOOTHSOME DISH
Shrimp Wiggle, With Better Taste
Than Sound, Is Also
Easily Made.

Ever eat an English monkey? Well.
they're good 20 eat, and. Furthermore.
e lies within the power OF anybody
who likes to manipulate a Chaf1ng dish
20 make one. The following recipe is
popular and simple:
Soak one cupful OF stale bread crumbs
in one cupful OF milk fifteen minutes
Melt one tablespoonful Of butter In the
chatting dish, add One-half CUpful of
soft mild cheese cut in small pieces, and
stir constantly until the cheese is melt
ed; then add the soaked bread crumbs.
As soon as thoroughly heated, add
three-fOurths OF a teaspoOuful OF salt,
a few grains Of cayenne pepper and
one egg slightly beaten. Pour at once
over toasted crackers.
Another delicious dish with an In
spring name IS shrimp wiggle. II
sounds mysterious, but It IS not really
so puZZling. Following is the recipe;
Melt four uablespOOnfuls OF butter,
add three JablespOOnfuls Of flour, one
half teagpOOnful OF salt. One-eighth OF
a teasponfuIo Of pepper. Pour on grad
ually one and a half cupIuls OF milk.
Bring to the boiling point and add one
cupful or shrimps broken in pieces and
one cupfuI Of canned peas drained from
their liquor and thoroughly washed in
cold water.

FloqUer Gifts Fad Among Girls;
Any Little Reason Good Excuse

while the pleasure IN cut flowers Is
very translJOry.
Candy Boxes Used.
One girl who has lots OF candy boxes
on hand IS using them FOR roweT boxes
10 send 20 her frienus this year. She
puts a sheet of parafdne paper or tin
fon inside, and plants the flowers with
just enough earth for them 10 live on.
A few violets or lily OF the valley roots
are not heavy enough TO break such
lining. and the box lasts as long as
the flowers 90.
Common fruit baskets stained dark
green are another pretty flower holder
especially the strawberry baskets, which
thousands OF hOuseleepers viii begin 70
throw away in the next few weeks. A
May basket OF pansy roots arranged
this way Is very rustic. Another pref
ty way that some girls have adopted IS
TO buy toy wooden buckets such as chill
dren use on the beach IN the summer
time, and paint them wood color. Or
one can buy q regular Dutch bucket
JardinleF OF the florist
Girls who have had the birch bark
mania at some time are using the sheets
OF bark which they collected TO cover
flower boxes The bark is cut just the
size OF the box panels. and glued on
firmly with furniture glue. A straw ber-
~ basket with bark fastened tC the
panels while the frame is stained wood
brown Is another pretty flower holder.

WELSH RAREBITS
THAT NEVER

Did You ever ask a lot or people 10
welsh rarebit party and have the
fare0lt resolve itself into a thick, leath-
cry mass that nobody could possibly
eat and then have to make up on other
things4 That is Something that happens
frequently TO people who make welsh
rarebits never kRc wing whe her they

A clever Washington girl who never

she has gladly furnished for the benefit

water is at boiling point place the pan
IN which the cheese has been cut over

cheese melt slowly. Do not permit the
cheese TO melt too much before YOU

when the cheese has melted sufficiently

Flower gifts from one girl to another
are quite the thing this spring, say the
florists. Time was when a girl never
thought Of receiving flowers from her
chum5 unless she was 81, but now every
little good fortune that befalls a girl is
sufficient excuse for ner friends TO
shower her With flowers. 1t IS a pretty
habit, and not an expensive one IN the
spring OF the year. The girl who has a
birthday or passes her examination In
the next few weeks IS sure 10 receive
some Of the hundreds OF daintily ar
ranged bouquets that the florists are
sending out every day.
The prettiest thing about the fad Is
that unusual attention IS given TO the
arrangement Of the blossoms, and the
girl who can think up some clever little
holder or basket TO send her flowers IN
viii be making the. best gift even
though the flowers themselves are most
simple.
Dainty Baskets.
All sorts OF dainty baskets for the
purpose have appeared In the florists
shops. For lilies there are narrow
long-handled ones. with a bow Of rib
bon on the handle. while pansies, tulips
and AIayfowers and all the short
stemmed blossoms are sent IN shallow
tray shapes Of wicker, sometimes with
out a handle. Every woman VINO loves
to have flowers around her house has
already fallen in love with the dainty
Japanese wicker flower hangers, and
when a girl wishes to make very spe-
cial gift, she sends one OF these.
Another pretty idea that many girls
are INDUCING in is sending a vase with
the flowers. This is not so expensive as
one might at first think, for any guam
titv of dainty flower vases may be
picked I'D in the department stores now
for Is cents. and sometimes less.
one girl with an economical turn saves
her old straw hats for flower baskets
A soft leghorn or Milan, even though
the edges are broken, makes a charm
ing flower basket when stained dark
green or wood brown.
With the fad for cut flowers as gifts
from one woman to another, has also
come one for sending flower roots and
potted plants, and many OF the May
baskets up TO date are filed with violet
or lily Of the valley roots, instead Of
the blossoms It is a great boon TO the
girl who has her own flower garden
where roots can be judiciOusly taken up
now and then, but there are not enough
blossoms TO make huge close bOQuets.
VIolets are especially pretty when care
lessly arranged with the leaves and
roots, and above all they will stay
fresh for days and weeks sometimes,
