THE TABLE

Baked Eggplant-Prepare the egg
| plant whole. Just as it is; either
| can be baked in oven or on top OF
| burner with a very low fire under it.
Keep turning it around, SO entire egg
plant will bake evenly. Meanwhile,
put two green and one red sweet pep
pers through the food chopper, also a
good-sized onion. When eggplant is

card this, and put the baked part
through chopper. Mix well, drain all
water off, add large teaspoon salt and
wineglassful of olive oil. To be

small, cold boiled potato cubes and
one-fourth the quantity of chopped

until stiff, add two tablespoons pimen-
tos put through fine food chopper,
then add an equal quantity of mayon-
naise dressing. Mix in this dressing

ripe tomatoes, three punches celery.

peppers, thee green peppers. small
head cabbs = and one or two large
ripe cucumbers. Sprinkle cup of salt

add three pints vinegar. quart brown
sugar, teaspoon mustard and tea
spoon black pepper Cook mixture

fine.

Trinity Boys Club Meeting.

Winter activities began with the
meeting of Trinity Boys club last
evening at the parish house. The boys
divided into two teams and undertook
to see who could find the most pea
nuts in the parish house. Vincent Pow
ers' team won over Clifford Myers
team. The winning team now has five
points to its credit on the years to-
tai. The boys enjoyed the evening
and it is believed this social plan will
be a success. Hereafter the business
session will only be held on the first
Monday of each month as this will
give more time for pleasure the other
evenings.

Flowers for Muff.

To make the big muff of long-haire
fur look particularly chic, there should
be affixed to it's front side-near the
center or near one corner-a large
bunch of flowers in velvet or darkest
toned red, purple or blue, surrounded
by large leaves of darkest green or
bronze silk, veined and edged with
dullest silver or gold tinsel threads.
Both flowers and leaves are very fiat
and are pressed as much as possible
into the fur so that only at close range
can they be distinctly discerned. If a
long and broad scarf in pelt is worn,
that also may carry bunch of match
ing flowers and foliage, but they must
never be prominent accessories or

ROSES OF SILK,

HIGH IN FAVOR

IF two dollars and a half does not
i mean much to you, that is. not so
much as a wonderful long-stemmed
rose, you may supply yourself with the
most approved of decorations for muff
or coat. 1t will keep fresh for some
time in the cool, moist air. But it can
not stand the dry heat of steam and
will be a wreck after a matinee or
musicale or any other gathering in
steam-heated rooms. Therefore, even
very rich women affect the long-stem-
med rose of silk, or crepe or muslin,
so cunnlngly made that it deceives the
eye.
Silk roses are liked best. and a sim
gle half blown blossom makes a glori-
Gus ornament. They are scented with
altar of roses, a lasting odor. No de-
ception in this; it is the real perfume
of the rose, as fascinating to the sense
of smell as the rose is to the sight.
