There is a vague idea, too, that salads

or not depends entirely upon the salad
makers skill. The mixing of the salad
is best done at table. the lettuce or cress

made ready, the mixing of the dressing,
be it mayonnaise or what is called plain
French dressing, should not be left to

An exceedingly grateful salad sauce
is made with the yolks of two hard
boiled eggs, a dessertspoonful of grated
Parmesan cheese, a teaspoonful of mus

well mixed together beat in four table
spoonfuls of salad oil. This is a sauce
to pour over potato salad, like the one
shown in the illustration, or a cream
cheese salad. The cream cheese is
broken into light fakes with fork and
laid upon crisp leaves taken from the
center of a head of lettuce. The sauce
fills in the hollows. The dressing is
poured over these salads only once and
is not turned about. A sprinkling of
chopped chervil or parsley is added to

case we wear our Lenten rue with a

We now recognize that abstinence
must not mean such a reduction of
strength and energy as to unfit us for
the days work, whatever it may be.
Therefore in arranging menus for the
penitential days we should study va

also because you are biting" There Is
nothing I hate so much as people who
are always sweet, and, II l mistake
not, Samuel Rogers once confessed
that his reason for saying unpleasant
things about people was that his voice
was SO weak that unless he attracted
attention by the bitterness of his re-
marks he would pass quite unnoticed.
At a woman's club recently one fair
member remarked to another with ref
erence to q third who had just left
the room: 81 think she is the most IN
teresting woman know. have never
heard her say a nice thing about any
one yet" From all this it will be seen
that there is a demand for a certain
kind of "cattiness;" that, in short, it
meets what is commonly called "a
long felt want"
But, as matter OF fact. genuine
"cattiness" as differentiated from
sharpness or bitterness is less common
now than it used to be. In all classes
of society women's interests are wider,
they are more independent. and the
homage of men is less essential to
their happiness than it was in the
dear. dead days of long ago. Jealousy
is one of the strongest predisposing
causes of "cattiness," and when wo-
mans chief ambition is to be socially
successful, to outvie others in her
dress ana her beauty, then that curious
attribute Of "cattiness'' is sure to be
fiourishfng. The less intellectual q
woman is the more "catty" she is.
Most women nowadays interest them
selves in literature, philanthropy
politics and the work of the wide world
generally, and just in proportion as
their interests become broader and
more altruistic SO does that petty
method of thinking which manifests
itself in "cattiness' of speech become
more and more rare.

ARE women "catty?' The kitten
"a ish woman is practically OBJ

n to be met at every turn From
some points of view comparison with
the domestic tabby is more compli-
nentary than otherwise, for many wo-
men might with advantage emulate
that feline creatures repose and grace
of movement; but, alas, the term cat

means something that purs while 1t
digs It's claws deep into one, some
thing that hurts while 1t pretends to
caress In these days of militant SUI

themselves such adopts in barking and
biting, it might have been thought that
the term doggy" would have been
more applicable. However, most OF US
have in mind the sort of women who
"sit at home at ease" and do not worry
themselves about policemen or politi
clans.
Some people confuse "cattiness"
with scandal but the two are totally
different The former is usually mani
tested before ones face, while the lat
ter is reserved for ones departure.
One can outwit the scandal monger by
avoiding all appearance Of evil"-it is
a noteworthy fact that the most vio-
lent antagonists of scandal are those
who give most cause for it--but the
claws of the "catty' penetrate deep in
to the good and the bad, the just and
the unjust alike
1t must be admitted, however, that
there are some omen who arouse
whatever latent "cattiness' there may
be in those with whom they come In
contact Their vanity, vulgarity or
pomposity makes even sweet tenn

nasty things.
But it is important to remember that
all is not "catty" that shows claws.
