or woman does nothing OF the sort.
While they accept the good things Of
life without so much as a word of
thanks, most assuredly do they uplift
their voices in loud lamentation If the
slightest little piece of machinery gets
out of gear In their well-oiled life of
amusement.
The race for pleasure, the wild COM
petition in social life, the fear of what
people will say, all do much to pro-
duce this don't care" attitude in the
modern man and maid. Not even in
their love affairs are they enthusiastic.
And half-hearted love affair is the
most depressing thing under the sun,
moon or stars-or, to be more ac-
curate, under the electric light.
Yet these odd, half-hearted love af-
fairs are fashionable nowadays. The
young folks don't seem to find much
pleasure in them, and / don't wonder
at it. For their lack of ardor is
scarcely fiattering to either party. And
yet they would be curiously lost
without them; that is the disagree
able part of it. To take no very keen
pleasure in the affairs, and yet to be
unhappy without it is typical of the
modern engagement.
1t seems to be merely question Of
custom, and not a question of youth
full infatuation at all. One would ex-
pect this attitude of mind in old folks
and not in the younger generation.
After many, many years of matri-
mony, one would expect the Great Ad-
venture to cease being the wildly
thrilling affair it was in the early days,
and settle into something much more
prosaic, easy-going and comfortable.
But one nowadays sees nothing of the
sort. For the old folks at home are
the people who really are romantic,
and the young folks who are forever
gadding abroad are the bored, half
hearted, blase lovers!

II there is serious illness in the fam
lily the diet is generally controlled by
the physician. But in any case every
housewife needs to know something
about invalid cookery. The one point
that must be borne in mind is that
foods must be served in the most d.
gestible form. An egg, which is
most wholesome served coddled or
dropped" might prove indigestible
scrambled or fried. In general only
the highest vegetables, such as spin
ach, steamed carrots, asparagus, peas,
are permissible. The lightest meats,
too, like chicken, fish ,sweetbreads, are
more appropriate to a weak digestion
than the so-called red meats, like
roast beef, beefsteak. etc.
Fruits generally play an important
part in invalid dietary, and in order to
preserve their mineral salts and Sc
cure all the benefit the steaming meth
cd or baking is far better than ordl-
nary boiling. That is, a baked apple
or baked prune has more value than
apple sauce or stewed prunes. Fruit
Juices, too, are widely used, so the
housewife should be provided with
adequate strainers, squares of cheese
cloth and other means of giving a
fine, clear juice.
Gelatine is particularly capable OF
many combinations which tempt and
benefit the invalid. Fruit juices, meat
Juices, milk and eggs can all be made
into attractive and easily digested
forms with the use of gelatine. The
familiar snow pudding, wine jelly,
lemon sponge, ETC., are good examples
of delicate desserts, with nutriment,
but no indigestible pulp or pieces.
When the appetite is normal We are
less affected by the appearance OF
food than WIN the system is below
mar. and we are more susceptible to
moods and emotions. Nothing so
quickly disgusts an invalid as an over
crowded, sloppy or unattractive plate
of food. The kind of service is no
where so important as in invalid cook

FOOD AND COMFORT
FOR THE INVALID


ers. 1t is not so much what is eaten
as how it looks that counts. Here is
where the many individual dishes
come into use. The Famekin, the shir.
rer and other pottery individual pieces
give color and attracuveness to the
small portion. Sherbet cups and 9th.
er glass plates and dishes of small
size lend themselves particularly well
to salads, desserts. Garnishes of all
kinds brighten and stimulate, and
many bits that carelessly go in the
garbage pail, such as orange and lem.
on peels, carrot tops, ETC., make just
as attractive garnishes as more ex.
pensive products.
Psychology of Cooking.
Even when food cannot be taken in
solid form, the invalid can generally
take care of the same nutriments in a
liquid form. Making gruels requires
care and neatness. Not every one can
make satisfactory meat juice, but care,
full following the directions of re-
liable recipe, care and neatness will
achieve this rather difficult branch of
invalid diet. Egg nogs, gruels CON-
bined with eggs, etc, all such invalid
beverages are most attractive when
served in tall lemonade or soda
glass. Children especially will drink
these from soda glass or take them
through a straw when they will refuse
them in the ordinary cup or glass.
Even cooking has its psychology.
Even the best OF trays Is apt to feel
heavy or be unsteady on the invaiid's
lap. Small invalid trays can be bought
cheaply which have a two-inch mould
ing of wood around the top, and which
are mounted on four or six-inch legs.
Even a dolls table, if Of the right
size, can be utilized, IL the legs are
cut short Other more complicated
trays are on the market, with metal
legs which can be adjusted at various
angles to serve as an inclined read
ing rack One of the best of these
can be attached to the bed and can be
extended to any desired length and
arranged in any preferred position.
Lighting The Sick Room.
Where electric current is available,
there is an excellent new adjustable
bulb which is the very thing for sick
room use. This consists of wooden
base about six inches, triangular in
shape, fitted with regular bulb, the
whole attached to quite length Of
neat cord. This permits the lamp to
be laid on a bed table or fastened to
chandelier, in any angle which is
convenient.
Lights should never be allowed to
strike directly on the patients face.
Sheets of yellow, amber film," such
as is used in moving picture machines.
and which can be purchased in art
stores for a small sum, may be cut
and fitted to any lamp Or light, thus
softening and subduing it.
