PUT AWAY CHINA AND GLASS
During Summer Give the Delicate
Dishes a Rest and Use
Cheaper Quality.

Summer is just the time to put away
your delicate china and glass. Have
your spirit free from the fear that this
or that dish will get broken. Summer
cottage china is plentiful in the shops
ms china is too gaudy to suit the
quiet taste, but it makes for cheerful
ness with its snowy fiowers-poppies,
morning glories. roses, and the like.
One can buy plain white china on the
bargain counters, china of good shape
and quality. One can buy tumblers at
nVe cents apiece, that will fall off the
table and roll about on the floor with
out breaking. A table set with white
china and plain glass with even a
bunch of green leaves in a glass bowl
Ior csnterpiece is more restful than a
table screaming with color.
VI course, you do not worry and
make hard work over your meals in
hot weather. Given a gas stove, ice
box and corner grocery and fruit
stand. why should any meal be diff
cuitE Nature says eat plentifully of
fresh fruits and vegetables, and nature
makes few mistakes. Use diplomacy
you have spoiled your men folk and
teach them not to order hot roasts for
six o'clock dinner One woman who
knows how to manage her husband
and sons insists on their eating their
not meal at noon and for evening
serves them but one hot dish, and that
something easily prepared.
Heavy desserts are all a matter of
habit Eat at foreign restaurants and
you soon fall into the foreign way of
eating fresh fruit and cheese for des-
sert after heavy dinner. BY cutting
down on hot roasts and on elaborate
desserts you can prepare the salad
early, mixing 1t just before it comes
TO the table, and need spend little
time or energy on cooking one or two
vegetables. If you must have one hot
dish.
