SALAD MATERIALS
RUSHING TO MARKET
Spring Chickens at Reason
able Prices, While Fruits
Are Coming In Rapidly.
sAts is the day Of the salad.

3 is also the period of which the
Household Almanac should say, About
this time look out for storms, when
hubby unexpectedly brings home a
friend TO dinner"
The storms can be avoided in many
ways. of course. but the surest now,
as it always has been, is 10 give hubby
and his friend something TO eat And
in this hot weather a salad is a some
thing at once cool and quickly pre-
pared.
If one does not insist on having the
succulent lobster, fresh chicken salad
is the next best thing, and, IN fact, some
people prefer it Just now, chicken is
70 be had fresh and cheap; cheaper, in
fact, than for several weeks. The Cen
trail Market is simply crowded with
crates filled with live chickens, and a
visit there yesterday proved that the
mother or the family, usually tough.
no matter how estimabIe, is scarce, al
though she is TO be both seen and heard
here and there. along with her even
more tough and less estimable hus-
band.
II is spring chickens that the house
VIE wants for her husbands salads.
OF course, and IL happens that just
now these are Of an unusually good
quality, II she buys them right All
dressed, they are Is TO IS cents per
pound The older birds are designated
usually as fowl, but ROSTERS are roost-
ers. Fowl is only II to 10 cents per
pound, and ROSTERS 8 cents. Fowl Is
plenty good enough for hashed chick
en- chicken on toast, creamed chicken
and the like, but for a salad, be sure
and give hubby spring chicken
II happens just now that the sup
ply of lettuce is increasing. The hot
weather OF some days ago affected the
dainty vegetable adversely. but this
week there has been an influx Of crisp.
cool leaves. and at lower prices, too.
Lettuce is selling at 6 cents to SLC0
per barrel. and 5 TO 10 cents each for
good heads. Here we have the mainstay
OF a good salad as we surely shall soon
have salad weather again.
For this brand Of weather, further
more. a gOOdly supply OF fruit should be
kept in the house. Fruit is coming 10
market from every direction-faster, IN
fact. than II can be marketed For this
reason. California navel oranges, for in
stance, Florida grape fruit, Georgia
peaches, canJelOUpes. huckleberrles,

The strawberry has made his parting
salute for the season. except in expen-
sive cafes and clubs, where a perverse
speciality is made Of having fruits out or
their season. The blackberry holds
main sway for the time being, but the
huckleberry Is rolling into recognition,

lmpromptu Reception and Con-
cert on Its Outing.

With a bright moon and the pick OF
Washington vocal talent the excursion
OF the washington Choral Society to
Marshall Hall last night was a brilliant
success. Good-sized crowds went down

promptu reception was held during
which the members Of the society and
other musicians on board were given
an opportunity TO meet Heinrich Ham
mer, director Of the society.
Following the arrival Of the evening
boat an impromptu concert was given
under the direction OF Mr.. Hammer. at
which a picked glee club sang a number
or selections. Each was received with
enthusiastic applause Among the num-
bers were Where Are the Boys of the
Old Brigade" 10 which the club re-
spOnded with Drink TO Me ONLY With
Thine Eyes" Among the choruses
which the society gave were, ITO Thee,
Oh. Ny Country" by Eichburg, and for
an encore. Ny Old Kentcky Home. "
Mrs. Auhagen sang the aria from The
Queen OF Sheba."
