ice Of china O n the table and imitation ut glass, but little else.
The guests, mostly women, were in low-necked, trained dinner gowns.
rather cheap and tawdry In material and trimming.
The effect of the whole thing a that OF . far-oh attempt to be
exclusive and fashionable.
The women weret trying to find satisfaction in a show of smart service
and In an attempt at fashionable dress, believing that they we're giving the
impression that they were O. the socially elect.
This spirit is abroad to a large extent tin u country. Many OF 10
are acquiring a taste for the artificial. and losing q love for the sincere.
On the streets of u large cities W. se women and young girls by
the hundreds dressed In artificial fashion from head o foot. l. n o ono
thing are they dressed genuinely or sincerely. n every article OF tneir
apparel they are trying to counterfeit a richer dress, or TO give h impress
sion that their dress represents something other than 1t does.
Lace Is imitation. Beads ire imitation. Imitation Six Is worn. Cot
ton gloves that simulate kid cover the hands. Mock gems IRE everywhere.
Willow p1umes rae 80 cent hats. White shoes arr worn by the girl going

genuineness.
1t Is not a good thing. We ae getting to admire and to follow false
standards. We are beginning to think that the artificial II sumcient. We
are becoming satisfied with It.
But when we adopt such standards are we not degenerating, degener-
ating both as a n individual and a a nation? We gradually oseo our regard
for all that Is genuine and fine and true. We become content with the
false. And when W get to this state. we lose all spur to achievement.
Would 1t not be we'll, therefore, to take a stand for the genuine, to set
"a throw som influence o the side OF the genuine and the true, either
in the home, in u dress, IN our mode of living. And W 9 know in our
heart of hearts that 1t is truth and sincerity and genuineness that really
bring content. In the artificial life. in the life that Is pretending to be
something it isn't, is very little real satisfaction.
And since the tide seems to be setting 10 strongly that way. surely 1t
is time to do something to try to stem it.

MEALS WITH LITTLE HEAT.

For those who feel that they cannot
dispense with meat entirely during
the heated term, there are many
dishes which may be favored with
meat in small quantities which serve
every purpose. The agricultural de-
partment tells us that two and a half
quarts of milk are equal In protein ma
terial to d pound Of average beef, nine
eggs have the same value, two-thirds
OF a pound Of ordinary cheese, half a
pound of peanut butter and two-thirds
of a pint of dried peas, beans or lem
ills.
There are still people who depreci-
ate the value OF skinned milk: 1t ia
most excellent for soup making, many
buildings and for use In bread n
rolls. Skim milk has nearly all OF the
food value left in it minus the fat.
This may be supplied II needed In n
of the dishes, so hal the milk is as
valuable practically for food as If it
were unskimmed.
A cupful of meat added to a dish OF
vegetables or with dumplings makes
n good favored dish, and the gravy
will make 1t go much farther. A mix
ture of two or three kinds Of vegeta-
hles with a cheap cut OF meat Will
serve q large family. II housekeepers
studied the amount of meat necessary
per capita for their family and what
was considered a suitable allowance,
there would be smaller meat bills and
better nourished families.
Excessive protein food is dangerous,
as 1t imposes undue exertion on some
of the organs, Over-eating is a COM
mon fault and many of the diseases to
which our flesh is heir might be done
away with II we were more abstemious.
The suggestions to cure the meat
ridden" menu are the substitution OF
salads, milk and milk dishes, cheese,
eggs and nuts.
Nuts are so good and wholesome
eaten with no accompaniment except
salt, made into %croQuettes or baked in
a loaf and served with a sauce as for
meat loaf.
Sudden changes are never wise; 1t
Is better to gradually wcan the family
from large quantities OF meat by the
substitution OF some Of the above foods
q little at a time.
When cooking a fowl add a fnuckle
OF veal and the favor will be nearly
as good for a pie as the chicken Itself
for another days dinner.
