Household Helps

In winter the curling steam from
floury potatoes. the fragrant odor from
the uncovered joint, the rich brown
gravy. are all attractive, but in hot
weather-ugh.
Here are some practical hints which
may help. None Is expensive:
First. the tablet It e the setting to n
meal. and should be made to look an
cool and as attractive as possible. Make
IT look inviting In every sense, with
flowers. fish and ferns. Little ferns are
cheap enough. Regularly watered, occa-
sionally repotted. and given two or
three drops of castor oil four times a
year, they are permanent possession.
Now for the food. Have you tried
cold soup. It must be well strained,
free from fat. of medium thickness.

Cold meat Is not attractive, and stevs
and hashes are worse-in summeri AZ
ter joint has appeared once 1t is best
TO cut the meat into very thick slices,
and trim into outlet shapes, and fry
as you would do fish. after dipping into
egg and breadcrumbs. Potatoes. too,
bre much better mashed, cut into
squares. and baked till the outsides arc
nice brown.
Fish should always be served with
friI OF parsley or lettuce leaves. A
sliced tomato. some watercress. some
pieces of lemon-this at once tempts q

them.
This same woman gave me some
hints on exercises which she promises
will have tendency to reduce the
waist, to nd II of any adiposc. and give
the figure that delightful quality best
known as svelteness.
She advocates swimming for the best

do for each individual woman's figure
exactly what is most needed. II she
is too stout II will reduce. II she is
too thin Il will round her out. Also

supple and trim and strong"
