BEST MAKE HASTE SL0Wl Y"
Little Really Good and Lasting Work Has Been Accomplished Under
 Strain of Hurry.

"rhe more haste. the less speed" is an old proverb that would make q good motto for many people in these days when most of us are always in driving hurry, remarks the Mil waukee Journal Work that Is hurried isn't often we'll done. The letter writ ten in haste sometimes proves to be illegible. or, what Is perhaps worse. so nearly illeglble that t results in a misunderstanding that loses far more time than it would have taken to write correctly. One may be in such great haste to complete an article he is making that he sights some part of fl. And just that flaw may cause a break in the machinery and result in loss of time and great waste.
 Then there are the hundreds Of times when undue haste doesn't in- yolve great consequences, but simply means inferior work that must be done again some time, and perhaps cause inconvenience and loss until it is done over For an article rightly made or a task we'll done serves a better purpose than something com pleted in haste People who do every thing hastily usually mismderstand.
 Some things one may catch quickly and so deceive himself into thinking that he can do the whole thing in a minute. not even knowing the import. ant point that has escaped him. To make haste slowly" means to ac- compllsh more, whatever one is do- ing,

TO SERVE WITH LUNCH
SUGGESTIONS FOR DISHES EASY
 TO COMPOUND.
Will Frequently Be Found Valuable in Emergencies That All House wives Experience - Piquant
 Suggestions From France.

Hors d'oeuvres are an essential part of the French dejeuner. but here they are not often served at the family luncheon They are often convenient, however. to eke out and give a little appetizer to luncheon that might otherwise be scanty. and few good ideas for hors d'oeuvres and savories are valuable for the housewife. Here are a few sample recipes that can be made and worked into a luncheon at the last moment:
 Devied Sardines.-Take .sardines, warm them in their own oil. add a little lemon juice. season highly with salt, pepper and English sauce, serve very hot on small rounds of toast.
 Savory Toast-Chop very finely. or run through meat chopper. any pieces of cold chicken, beef. ham or tongue. Pound to a paste with the yolks of two hard boiled eggs. a piece of butter. pepper, salt. little Chut- ney and Worcestershire. Spread rath- CT thickly on thin strips of toast and set in the oven to heat.
 Cheese canapes.-Cut bread into pieces one-half an inch thick, then stamp them into circles with biscuit cutter Saute the bread in a little butter until it is of an amber color on both sides. Cover the slices with a thick layer of grated cheese, sprinkle with salt. pepper and dash of cay enne. Fifteen minutes before the time to serve place them in the oven for a few minutes to soften the cheese.
 Anehovy Canapes.-Spread strips ot fried bread with thin layer of an chovy paste, Sprinkle over the top alternate rows of the white and yolks of hard boiled eggs chopped very fine. Sardine eanapes are made by pound ing the sardines to a paste, spread ing it on strips of fried bread and sprinkling the top with some sort ol chopped pickle.
 Stuffed ssgs.-Cut hard boiled eggs 1 in halves. Take out the yolks care fully and mix them with an equal quantity Of softened bread crumbs season highly with little butter, salt and pepper. Moisten with any sauce l add a little raw egg. Fill the whites i fsom which the yelks were taken | round off the tops smoothly. slice a l small piece on the bottom, so that the eggs will stand upright. and serve Any nayoring or seasoning that is liked may be added to the mixture foi
