SOME SEASONABLE SALADS

These are our salad days, and If we
are green in wisdom we should ap-
preciate the tonic and medicinal
value of salads in the spring and
throughout the summer, when they
are as beneficial to the health as they
are agreeable to the palate. Lettuce.
the basis of most summer salads, is
sedative, and persons suffering from
insomnia may benefit from eating IL
at night; cooling. good for the blood
and easily digested. Watercress was
considered by the Greeks to- be a
stimulant both for mind and body,
and philosopher ven went so far
as to "a that watercress eaten with
vinegar could restore sanity. In any
case. it is good for the blood. purifies
the skin, helps the digestion and. in
duces the copious perspiration which
is so desirable in summer. Dande-
lions. which are frequently served in
continental salads, and as an article
of food, soon become monotonous, but
dandelion salad is an excellent tonic
and blood purifier.
winch are Oh recent
popularity, have many admirable
qualities, and eaten early in the
morning before breakfast a tomato
will help to cure bi~liousness. In sand
witches of brown bread and butter
tomatoes are very easily digested,
and the cucumber sandwich. which is
so refreshing but is looked at askance,
because of indigestibility, is much
more likely to be harmless when ac-
companied by sliced tomatoes.

from a variety of materials. Fol-
midsummer mornings, madras,
chambray, bingham and materials of
the kind are in much demand, for
afternoon occasions. white linen, cot

pretty, while khaki and natural col
pred linen make sturdy suits for the
cooler days. The collar can always
be of contrasting material or of the
same trimmed with braid. With the
darker colored fabrics. white shields
are liked. For very warm weather
the suit can be made with the collar
and shield omitted altogether. leaving
the neck open. The knickerbockers
are of the regulation sort, finished
with Wristbands and closed at the
sides.
For the 6-year size the suit will

Russian salad.

A Russian salad is very good,
though at first 1t seems too heavy
for our liking. Cooked vegetables,
neatly cut, such as carrot, 'turnip,
French beans and beetroot. are tossed
Together. and a shredded lettuce
heart is piled up in the centre of ii
dish and surrounded with the mixed
vegetables set in a border of cold
sliced potato. The dressing substi-
tutes sour cream for oil, and is ex-
tremely rich. and an interesting vari-
alton on the ordinary theme of may
onnaise. which. of course. it much
resembles.
Cucumber and artichoke salad is
rather out of the common. Peel and
cut half a cucumber into thin slices
and place in cold water for an hour.
Wash. dress and cook three globe
artichokes, and when ready drain,
cut off the leaves and chokes. Strain
off the water from the cucumber and
dry the slices on a clean cloth. Lay
the leaves of a wellLWashed lettuce
at the bottom of the bowl. place the
.[cucumber and artichoke on the top
and pour a mayonnaise sauce over
the salad.
stuffed Tomatoes.
Among salads to lie eaten alone Of
with cold meat stuffed tomatoes are
good, both from the appetizing and
the artistic standpoint. A round
must be cut from the top of the to-
matoes and the seeds scooped out,
after which they should be filed with
chopped celery and walnuts and coz
cred with mayonnaise dressing. In
the umn1er finely chopped tongue
with d sprinkin.e o. s.aAg o4.iJl
may be preferred as a stuffing, or
shelled shrimps may be used in the
filling of the tomatoes. Arrange
round them a garniture of watercress
and lemon.
A Substantial Salad.
Some effective salads are nodded
in aspic jelly. and make a substan-
tial contribution to the bill of fare.

an equal quantity of aspic jelly and

Is It up to the Bridegroom p
My dear Miss Doom

MY dear MISS doom.
When a couple intends to get mar
ried, who is supposed to furnish the
home? Is 1t up to the bridegroo NOR Is
the father of the bride supposed to
furnish the home? Thanking you in
advance, ]. A. w.
Yes, 1t is 'up to the bridegroom"
Very often wealthy fathers give the
house completely furnished as a we'd
ding present to their daughters, but
the father of the bride is under no
obligation to do this, or to provide in
any way for the daughter after the
marriage ceremony. Most prospect
i've brides take pleasure in making
the accessories for the home, such
as tablecloths. napkins and bed linen,
but If they or their friends are not
inclined to do so, even this part of
the furnishing is 'up to the BRIDE
groom"
If I were you l would not buy
much of the furniture until after the
wedding. Very often the gifts in
clude odd pieces of furniture which
may not eft" we'll with the scheme
you have planned, but which may
we'll be made the basis of the fur
nishing.

POSITION IN SLEEP
BY a P~hysician.

Be careful about forming bad
sleeping habits. Don't allow your
self to become addicted to sleeping
in one position or you will soon find
that you can't feel comfortable in
any other. And one sleeping position.
long kept, is bound to have a bad
effect on the health.
Sleep on one side and then the
other. Switch to sleeping on your
stomach occasionally. If sleeping on
your back doesn't seem TO induce
nightmares don't be afraid to sleep
that way once in a while. Don't curl
up with your hands on your knees.
And don't sleep~on a thick pillow
