FOUR GOOD, new SALADS
Something Out Of the Ordinary and
Specially Nice and Appropriate
for luncheons.

The ingenuity of woman has, as yet,
failed to discover anything more ap-
propr1ate than a salad to serve as re-
freshment at the afternoon or evening
party. Here are four novelties for such
occasions:
Cherry Salad.-One pint can cherry
juice, one cup canned cherries, one
dozen pimento olives cut in rings, one
small cupful of celery. one-half cupful
OF black walnuts, one envelope pow
derec gelatin. Heat cherry juice to
boiling point, over gelatin pour three
tablespoonful of hot juice, stir until
dissolved, then add remaining juice.
When cold and beginning to thicken
add other ingredients. Pour into OBJ
long pan to mold. Serve in slices on
lettuce leaf, with waters and mayor
naise to which whipped cream has
been generously added. Will serve
eight.
Wholesome Vegetable Salad.-Cut
two potatoes into dice Mix with them
any vegetables on hand. Use peas or
beans or corn, with no milk with it. If
you have an apple, cut it up and toss
it in. Add the meat of a dozen wal
nuts, chopped fine. Add a chopped
stalk of celery. Cover with any good
dressing, stirring it in lightly and
using plenty. Serve on lettuce leaves.
Chicken and Cheese Salad.-Cream
together " cupfuls of grated cheese
with one cupful of chopped chicken
and mix with the following dressing:
The yolks of three hard-boiled eggs
rubbed to smooth paste with three
tablespoons Of salad oil; add a tea
spoonful mustard, half a saltspoonful
OF red pepper, two saltspoonfuls of
salt, tablespoonful of vinegar. Garnish
with slices of lemon and the whites Of
the eggs cut in slices.
Jell1ed Salad.-To two teaspoonfuls
OF gelatin add enough water to cover
1t, and soak for a half-hour. Put over
the fire quart of water, bring to q
boil, stir in the gelatin and a cupful Of
sugar, and, when both are dissolved,
take from the fire and add the juice of
two lemons. Turn into bowl to cool.
When cool and beginning to thicken,
stir into the jelly ~ cupfuls of celery
cut-not chopped-very fine. Beat un-
til thoroughly mixed, turn into a wet
mold and set aside to form. Turn upon
a dish lined with crisp lettuce and
serve with MISUNDERSTANDING Ba-
Ear.

For two spring chickens, which will
serve four people, cupful of boiled
rice is required, half pound of mush-
rooms, one small tumbler Of guava jelly
and three baked bananas. Stew the
mushrooms; put the chicken either
IN the oven or under the broiler. bone
side to the hottest part of the fire.
Heat the plank, put the chicken on.
bone side down, dust with salt and
pepper, and boil on the board under
the gas for half an hour; garnish with
rice; pour over the mushrooms. Place
at the corners small bread patties,
holding the guava jelly. Place at the
sides of the bananas and send instant
ly to the table.

Fat From Autoino.

A physician who counts among his
patients many well-known London
women has been pointing out the ef-
feet Of too much automobiling on the
figure.
AT the risk Of making myself I'M
popular" he says. II have had to for
bid motoring to several Of my patients,
who have consulted me regarding
their growing embonpoint. Those who
have followed my advice have sue
ceeded in regaining their figures.
Motoring surpasses In luxury any
form Of locomotion yet invented. The
seats are 30 tilted that one 10 forced
to lean back amongst the cushions at
such an angle that all tho muscles are
relaxed.
add to this the exhilaration which
rapid movement produces and the in
crease Of appetite engendered by
plenty Of fresh air and you will see
that motoring contains most OF the
elements which make for adiposity.s

Harvard Botanist Skaters Pref
ty Story About Landing

Historians Have Long Disputed az to
Whether Decentralization Was Near
Enough to Massachusetts to
Warrant Placing of Statue.

Boston.-A wild cranberry has shat
tered all the pretty romances about

brawny Norsemen in Boston bay or
the Bay of Fundy, or anywhere nearer
to us than north Of the st. Lawrence.
Historians have disputed loud and
long as to whether or not Left disem-
parked near enough to Massachusetts
to warrant the placing of his statue
on Commonwealth avenue, and as to
whether or not he touched the Amer
lean coast at all. 1t remained for a
botan1st to settle the controversy.
Prof. M. L. Fernald of the Gray
herbarium. Harvard university. was
drawn into the question quite by &C.
cldent- His conclusions are printed
IN a recent number Of Rhodora. the
Journal of the New England Botanical
club. They are in part as follows:

Norsemen had made a settlement in
Nova Scotia, but he was forced to
reply that. so far as botanists are
definitely informed, neither of these
p1ants Is known to be Indigenous in
Nova Scotia.
From this simple incident it be-
came apparent that much of the evil
dence that the Norsemen had landed
about the year 1000 upon the coast of
Nova Scotia or of New England is
found IN the statement that they dis

berry for the grape
But, on the other hand, in the more
northern countries of Europe at the
present day, the names 'vinber' and
'wlne-berry' are still used as folk
names for some of the Identical wild
fruits which bore those names in the
middle ages.
1T seem highly improbable, then,
that the grape should have been
familiar, at least from personal ex-
perlenCe, to the early Norsamon who
sailed from Iceland and Greenland to
the western continent And, in view
OF the fact that the true grape is
