Who would care for Sunday or Mon
day. or any day Tor that matter, IN
less we had unexpected company
drop in" occasionally? The only un-
comfortableness which ever should be
felt by the hostess is when she is not
prepared with enough in her larder to
serve these extra guests for luncheon
CT supper.
If meals are planned in advance, do
not make any changes for the unex-
pected guest. There is nothing which
adds more to the discomfort than this
extra work idea of hospitality. To
have the guest most comfortable and
perfectly welcome, all that is neces.
sary is to put on the extra plate and
add a little more in quantity, if amp, 9
time is given for it. If not, then the
emergency shelf, which should always
contain reserve food such as canned
soup. vegetables, noodles, waters of
several kinds, canned salmon, lobster
tuna fish, crab meat, deviled ham AND
chicken, olives or pickles, cocoa, cot
fee, tea, and in the refrigerator grape,
lime OF pineapple juice or ginger ale.
With some or al of these things
and plenty of good seasonings a soup
can be quickly made or an extra dish
prepared which will help stretch out
the meal.
| If there is to be freedom and pleas
ure for the mistress of the home, dur
/ ing the coming hot days, then she
must use her brain very freely in plan
ming at least three meals in advance
every day.

1t has been hard to understand why
some baked beans could be so good,
and others so tasteless. l have given
a recipe in a previous article and also
one for the brown bread. The bread
should be steamed the Gay before;
then all that is necessary is the re-
heating. The beans should be soaked
over night and then wellseasoned
and baked with little salt pork.
This is better done also on Satur.
day and then reheated on Sunday, es'
pecially if there is no fireless cooker
in the home. But if preferred, they
may be soaked in cold water Saturday
night, and Sunday morning made
ready fer the bean pot and baked in a
very slow oven all day, with very LYLE
watching. The salad may be made Of
any of the seasonable green vege
tables and served with a well-season
ed French dressing.

for their choice. mighty few OF said
reasons would hold in court.
The fact of the matter is that there is
no one best breed" of chickens. There
are four or five best breeds" with
from two to seven best varieties" in
each breed If you don't believe it..

he got Nine. Paderewski to admit she

Another man clinches the pennant for

eggs and no eggs lies in the individual

is no marked difference in the produc.

Inheritance Of profitable qualities is
of the greatest importance For this
reason scrub or cross-bred fowls are
worthless for breeding, because their
