MUST BE PERFECTION
SALAD NEVER A DISH THAT CAN
BE SIGHTED.
Clear Judgment and Much Care for
This Absolutely indispensable Nd
junct of the Modern Din
ner Table.

Among the Injuries of our bills of
fare there is not one that is more ap-
preciated by everyone than we'll
made salad; there is no department of
cooking that demands clearer judg-
ment in making and serving than this
same salad; while all kinds, from the
richest to the simplest, depend on the
materials selected and their wise com
bination.
All salads should be served very
cold and long standing Injuries them.
Therefore make the dressing and place
it near the ice in the cooler before pre-
pairing the salad proper. When ready
to serve, chill the bowl and the iudi-
vidual salad plate if you would have
your salad at it's best.
Bread and butter sandwiches or
Boston brown bread thinly sliced
and delicately spread with fresh but
ter and filled with shredded lettuce
leaf sprinkled with ground nuts may
be served with any salad. But with
lobster, shrimp or fish salad "bru-
nettes" are the proper caper; they are
made from the white bread and butter
sandwiches filled with Neufchatel
and minced cress. Mutton sandwiches
are liked with vegetable salads They
are seasoned with herbs, as mint, pep
per grass, celery, salt, curry and
minced pickles.
For potato salad prepare cheese
straws, or spread graham bread with
a mixture Of snappy cheese and the
hard boiled yolk of eggs and seasoning
The homemade cheese straws are far
better than the made ones. that are
sold in cartons, and will keep as we'll;
they may be reheated just before us
ing.
Miss Grauels recipe for cheese
straws: These are particularly nice
and, if cut evenly, look dainty Crate
three tablespoonfuls of dry, highly sea
soned cheese, to it put one-half pint OF
sifted -four seasoned with salt and pap
rika; rub together with tablespoon
of butter and cold water as for pastry
Turn onto the Toured baking board and
roll out thin. Cut half the paste into
straws and the rest into rings. Bake
until sSiiOW anu lisp III luOQtl Il te
oven and serve with the straws laiG
in the rings.
Rich and elaborate salads are served
as course by themselves, but wher
a salad is to accompany a meat course
1t should be simple in character anC
served on individual salad plates. Very
often the salad is placed on such plates
and the dressing passed with it on
separate boat or BOWL this manner has
much to commend it,
With duck, rich fish and water
fowl, acid salads are served These
are made with good allowance O
lime, lemon juice or Tarragon vim
egar. Cheese is passed with all greer
salads and black coffee and saltines e
with all accomplishments
Sweet drinks, as punch and frui
drinks, are never served with fruit o.
sweet salad.

Promising Youth.

But, daughter" asks the kind old
father, has this young man who
wants to marry you any prospects?
Is there any evidence that he is able
to support family or that he will at
tain position of prominence? l don't
keep up with things and people as I
should, and don't know much about
him except that he seems to be
hustling young man."

girl, he is the catch of the season
He is being investigated by four legis-
lative committees, and three maya
zines are running exposes of his bust

To find the sum of and 2
You take clean, white sheet
But first of all that you must do
Is sit straight in the seat,
With toes at As degrees.
And back almost at plumb,
Your legs right-angled at the knees;
Then you attempt the sum.
The sheet of paper you must place
Upon your desk just So
Then with a pen and ink you trace
A line, above, below.
And one upon each side as well,
And draw them without .sbot-
In that case, any one could tell,
The sum cannot be got.
Don't be impatient. Now you write
The date up at the top:
Be sure don't hold your pen too tight
Or let the inkspot drop
Upon the sheet, fer then the blame
Would be severe for you.
Now in one corner write your name
For thus the sum we do.
Now. having thus prepared the sheet
You set the figures down.
Be sure you get them very neat
Or else on you we'll frown.
And now you-Ah, it is too bad!
Reclting time is through.
Some other day We'll learn to add
The figures and 2

didn't succeed. He had all the ladies'

thinking that this would keep their
minds on the services while they
were in the pews'

Il should say so. The ladies all
staid out in the lobby after their hats
were checked, to examine the bonnets
