A Travellers Dinner

made from noodle paste floating on |
the surface of each plate. A clever |
guest spelled out the name Scotland
and the soup was recognized as the
famous cockaleekie, made familiar
by Scott.
The advent of the third course was
greeted with general enthusiasm, for
though no one knew how it might
taste, it was a joy to look at This
was to all appearances a large pie
baked in a deep oval dish, it's crust
beautifully brown and fiaky, and the
whole set closely round with flaunt-
ing little Swedish flags. This was
a salmon pasty, or pie, popular dish
of Norway and Sweden; and with II
came hot sauerkraut, decorated with
the little black, white and red stand
ards of Germany.
The arrival of the entree carried
the company into Spain. This proved
to be stuffed pimentos, prepared after
a Spanish recipe, and dressed with n
very Spanish sauce. Thav "'N'>
served in ramekins, each one being
set upon a square yellow paper dol'
bordered with red and having stuck
in its center the red and yellow fac
of Spain.
The roast course was entirely Ital
ian, a tribute to what the hostes'
considered the superiority of Italian
' cookery. A roast of veal, prepared
in Italian fashion and having
"pocket" of delicious Italian force
meat, was accompanied by spinach
and tomatoes cooked after Italian
methods. All these dishes were ga,
with Italian emblems.
France appeared newt upon tn
menu in an appetizing dish of must
u rooms a la provencale. The must
rooms, prepared from a recipe give
i to the hostess by French innkeepel
u were served upon little circles
fried bread, in the center of each {
u which was slewered a little Frenc
- flag.

.e ipe, although one which might pc

properly. This in itself viii tone the

Merely to hold up the head or to

at the foundation Of correct standing
and walking, one needs to go to the
spine. Keep the spine erect. This
requires effort, and it has to become a
habit. But it is worth acquiring, for
It throws the body into the right posi-
ton, and it has a good effect upon the
nerves.
A simple test for keeping the spine
right is to keep the neck pressed back
against the collar. This holds the
spine in its normal position, keeps the
ribs where they belong, allows the alb
domen to relax, and all the interna
organs to slip into their natural posi-
tons.
A physician of Washington, D. G.
who is rapidly forging into the from
rank of his profession by reason o
his wonderful cures, says that larg'
percentage of disease is caused by un
natural pressure on some one of the
internal organs. Instead of operations

CBv Anna Marion Smith,


A Small Travellers Club in supur-
ban town just out of New York was
,.ecentlv entertained at 4 novel and
most successful dinner given by one
of the members to celebrate the close
of the club season. The invitations
which had summoned the guests to
"trayelers dinner" had furnished no
slaw to the special features Of the oc-
casion. 1t was an interested and eA-
uectant company, therefore, that gain
cred about the long table, and admired
it's unique decorations.
In the center stood a large oval
howl or tub filled with water, its 10"
sides skilfully banked with ferns
smilax, and lilies of the valley, from
which at equal intervals four strings
of little flags of all nations were
carried with smilaX to the chand eller
Beneath, as if riding at anchor Oh
the water in the bowl, floated large
TOW steamship, made to represent
the familiar TRANSATLANTIC lllel'
broad bands of red, white and blu'
crossed the table diagonally midway
between the center and the ends
and the candle shades, of thin crep'
+ paper, displayed colors of Germany
Italy, Russia and Spain. Beside eacl
cover stood a small toy suitcase
pasted over with tiny imitation Labels
j and filled with bonbons, each cas-

ing the owners name, to serve a

state occasions in general.
Here is the formula in detair:
Eight ounces of pistachio nuts and
one ounce of bitter almonds carefully
blanched, then put through the meat
chopper or nut mill and ground to a
paste.
In saucepan on the fire put a cup
and half of water, to which is added
half cup of sugar. Stir this over the
flame till the sugar is melted. Boil it
five minutes, add another cup OF
water, also a teaspoonful of lemon
juice and allow to COOL
Add the syrup thus obtained to the
nuts with one tablespoonful of orange
juice or orange flower water, Color
delicate green with pure vegetable
coloring paste.
Put the mixture in the freezer and
stir until smooth and stiff. Open the
freezer for a few moments to add the
following: Stiffly beaten whites of four
eggs, mixed with four tahlespoonfuls
OF powdered sugar. Stir into the
frozen paste and thoroughly beat I'M
til combined. Remove the paddle, re-
pack and let it stand at least one hour
before serving.
This is not a quick dessert, but it is
one that repays the labor involved.

Our body is largely what we make
it. 1t can be erect, 1.-THE, a picture of
beautiful lines; in a word, the EN-.
hodiment of grace. Or it can be fat,
clumsy, stopped, flabby in muscle, in
various degrees of dilapidation; in
word, disgrace. AS to which it shall
be depends largely upon ourselves.
The trouble is many of us let it gradu-
ally trend toward the condition of
disgrace. Particularly do we do this
as age comes on. We think years are
an excuse for the stopped back, the
flabby muscle, the double chin. But
they are not. We are simply lazy, that
i, all. And we shouldn't try to dodge
the fact.
! We get stopped because We won't
take the trouble to stand erect. Our
muscles become f1abby, because we
will not exercise. Our waist measure
gets large and our stomach arrests the
gaze because we eat more than is es'
sential. And so on through the en-
tire range of the dilapidation that goes
on in our body and which changes it
gradually from grace to disgrace.
Not only is this change unpleasant tc
the eye, but it is bad for the health
1t is a sign of decay, of disintegration
And one should not let himself go tt
pieces, especially as it is unnecessary
For, in the beginning, this dilapida
ton of the body doesn't come from
ill-health. 1t comes from indifference
f and neglect. But it brings ill-healtH

WHAT TO GIVE HER

iOnSh1p comes WIN Jne appreciation OL
the higher things as well as theN
merely frivolous.
A charming idea that will take some
time and effort on the part of the
young man is to collect the autographs
of well known players or singers and
paste them in a small leather volume,
which he presents to the lady who
goes to the theater or opera with him.
Should the lady not know the opera,
send her the libretto of it the day be-
fore the performance, and che day
after some of the music she very much
fancied.
Many of these suggestions if re-
peated often would be rather a drain
on the average young mans pocket
book, so at any season of the year,
providing the sun is shining, take
jaunts into the nearby country. Even
in winter, anyone who is fond of out
door life enjoys trip away from the
city or town where one has been for
the last six days. The ocean is won
derful in winter and yet how few who
live near the ocean think of boarding
train or trolley to see it. But
whether it be in winter or in SUMNER
make sure, young man, that there is
a hotel or inn or even a farm house
somewhere in the vicinity, as hungry
people are not happy people, and some
tea and mullins or lemonade and cake
, will be a coy rounding out of an aft
, ernoon's ramble.
That men do think of unusual ways

Why do most men show such an
astonishing lack of originality in send
ing gifts to women? This will be con-
sidered a leading question by the men,
1 am sure. Of course, l know that
they are busy at their trades and pro-
LESSONS, but it seems to me that when
a man thinks enough of woman to
send her a gift, some thought should
be given to the gift, too. Flowers,
candies, books, and then still more
flowers, candies, books, are the usual
offerings. Not that a girl ever OBJ
iects to receiving any or all of them,
hut a slight variation might be given
to the dozen roses or bunch of VIC
let's, the five-pound box of candy in a
satin box, and the latest best-seller.
A pot of growing flowers or ferns
will be equally acceptable as a gift,
and the giver will remain longer in
the mind of the recipient than will a
box of perishable cut flowers. Saint
Valentines Daily and Easter are the
occasions for floral offerings, but
know of but one man who thought tc
send a basket of spring flowers or
Decoration Day.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-07-29

Women like to have remembered
anniversaries of dates that have pc
culiar significance just to themselves
and the mantle date they first met,
the date of an adventure, and so on.
An effort should be made also to re-
member the favorite flower, candy,
hotel or restaurant, color, or even the
| favorite tea and cakes in the after
noon. The favorite flower amongst a
bouquet of another variety is COM
pliment that is not soon forgotten.
In sending a large box of mixed
bon bons have the center of the top

are arranged to form the letter Of her

certainly be getting away from the
usual thing,
