What Thought Will Do
TOWARD Improving Meals

Next look over the possible salads and
select such as seem to be easily made
and not too expensive. The expense and
amount OF work necessary will, of course,
govern all the dishes added to the menu.
Now, with these lists before you, begin
to plan your meals for a day. or better
yet, for a week Glance over your old
menus for the last week and see II you
cannot serve entirely new dishes. There
are always certain staples, such as po-
tatoes, bread. and butter, &c, which will
enter in. However, a change Of vege-
tables or at least different way OF pre-
paration, may be secured. Then there
are as many dainty desserts as days in
the month. and quite as many changes in
meats and ways of preparing.
Next write your Tuesday morning
menu, and a breakfast usually consists,
as you know, of some cereal, either
cooked or uncooked. some mild fruit, such
as prunes or baked apples, with toast and
eggs, or some hot breads and bacon.
With little thought you can have a good
variety with just these simple foods.
There are so many ways OF cooking eggs.
and with the change Of hot breads and
griddle cakes and waffles, one has a good
variety. Many people enjoy salt fish,
creamed Clipped beef, and baked potatoes
for breakfast dishes.
For Tuesday dinner you will have no
leftovers, so you will plan to order some
fresh meat, or have some one of the meat
substitutes, such as dried lima beans.
cheese souffie, macaroni and cheese. bean,
pea, or peanut butter soup. To this add
the usual potatoes or rice and one fresh
vegetable, with a salad perhaps of lettuce
and tomatoes. If you have no meat. you
can well introduce a dessert such as
baked custard, custard pie, or tapioca
pudding. When you plan to serve meat,
use lighter dessert, such as gelatine, a
dish of fruit, with cake or cookies or a
sherbet.

This dispatch created a sensation in the
Confederate camp. Longstreet, alarmed
for the safety of his army, and believing
himself threatened from front, flank, and
rear by the powerful Federal columns of
which Grant had written, saw only one
course open TO him-to raise the siege and
march toward Virginia, there to rejoin

tached early in September.

on that score eventually would have to
surrender unless relieved.
After his victory over Bragg at Mis-
sionary Ridge, on November 25, Grant
had ordered a column to march imme-
diately into East Tennessee. But unfore-
seen circumstances caused a delay. Fear
full that this delay would discourage the
defenders of Knoxville and prompt them
to surrender, Grant determined to end
the siege by a strategem.

And did the recital Of her experience
on the way to the great opportunity
haven inspire readers TO pause to give
thanks and be glad that between times
there are men and women who count 1t
a fine mixture of pleasure and duty to
help a few strugglers come into their
own?
1t is a mighty fine thing to give in
great bulks and to take in the multi
tudes by way of a much-needed act OF
public philanthropy. But for the pure
10y Of the thing and the individual pleas
ure passed along. one believes that these
personal acts that change the whole tone
and current Of a life have a peculiar
brand OF fragrance about them that Is
missed in the larger giving.
Sometimes II is just the little help at
the right time that enables young man
or woman, or one who is older. to pass
out from the hardness OF uncongenial
work and on to the port Of their dreams,
where ability and fitness are given their
chance.
And that is why one believes that the
big-hearted folk who scatter some OF
their gifts as they move along, rather
than walt to leave vast sums OF money
when their hands are folded for the last
time, are the ones who experience the
real JOY Of giving.

Quite likely the story of the girl from

readers. but there is a human element

strain of exquisite melody came floating

She was q singer herself, and as she
listened to the rich contralto tones that
rose and fell in that work-driven environ

that IL was no ordinary voice that was
ringing out in song.
A policeman stationed there had heard
the voice before and knew the girl

want to know more.
1t seems, so she learned, that five
weeks ago the young singer was at home
