The automobile stood beside the road,

The driver stood helpless beside the car
as so many drivers do upon occasion.
What's the NATTER" asked a passing
tourist as he slowed down to help a COM
rade in distress.
Cant crank her up. answered the
helpless one. Don't know what is the
matter. either
The tourist found the gasoline supply
all right. He tested the spark plugs and
found them dead.
Magnetic is out of business. said he,
as he switched the ignition over on the
batteries. Batteries out. too he NUT
tered.
With trained fingers he disconnected
the little dry cell batteries under the
drivers seat and replaced them with
fresh batteries which he took from his
tool box. When the crank was whirled
the engine began to throb With power.
We'll. I'll be- began the helpless
one.

Spinach Salad.

Spinach salad can be made from the
leaves both cooked and u%ncooked. II
the cooked leaves are used they should
be finely chopped and then moistened
well with French dressing, made from
three parts of oil and one of vinegar,
and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Put the spinach in a little mound on a
heart of white, crisp lettuce. Another
way to make cooked spinach salad is
to put the cooked leaves through a
sieve, to make a paste of them. Then
form the paste into small balls, about
the size of a walnut, and roll these in
chopped nuts. Arrange half a dozen
of them for each plate on a bed OF
lettuce leaves.
An uncooked spinach salad Is this;
Wash and drain a quart of the tender
est spinach leaves and put them in a
salad bowl. Add some tender spring
onions, finely cut, and a few mint
leaves cut fine. Serve with Frencf
dressing.

FOR SAVORy LOBSTER OUTLET
Dellcacy That Takes Long to Lose
Favor Neither Expensive Nor
Hard to Prepare.

Lobster outlets, an old standby, new

OF flavor In this connection which no
other has. A tried recipe for outlets
calls for a cupful of thick white sauce,
made with two tablespoonfuls of but
ter. two of -four and a generous three
quarters OF a cupful of milk. Add to
this a beaten egg, a %teaspoonful OF
lemon juice and two cupfuls of lobster

Let this mixture, in a covered dish,
stand until it is cold. Then shape it
into outlets half an inch thick, about
three inches long and two wide. Dip
them in beaten egg and fine crumbs
and fry in hot fat for just a moment
or so until they are a light, golden
brown. Drain them on brown paper.
garnish each with a small claw, and
serve Immediately with Hollandaise
sauce, which you can make by adding
two tablespoonful of chopped CHER
kins and olives to a scant cupful of
good mayonnaise.

half cream and half chicken stock,
three cupfuls OF minced lobster meat,
two tablespoonfuls of sherry, pepper,
salt and the beaten yolk of an egg,
Add the sherry last and heat quickly.
