TO SERVE WITH LUNCH
SUGGESTIONS FOR DISHES EASY
TO COMPOUND.
VIII 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 exc out and give a little
appetizer to d luncheon that might
otherwise be scanty, and a few good
ideas for hors d'oeuvres and savories
are valuable for the housewife. Here
are few sample recipes that can be
made and worked into luncheon at
the last moment:
Devled 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 a 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.
er 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
Anchovy canapes,-Spread strips of
fried bread with a thin layer of an
cnovy paste. Sprinkle over the top
alternate rows of the white and yolks
of hard boiled eggs chopped very fine.
Sardine canapes are made by pound
ing the sardines to paste, spread
ing it on strips of fried bread and
sprinkiing the top with some sort Of
chopped pickle.
Stuffed Eegs.-Cut hard boiled eggs
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;
add little raw egg Fill the whites
from which the yolks were taken,
round off the tops smoothly, slice a
small piece off the bottom, so that the
eggs will stand upright, and serve.
Any flavoring or seasoning that is
liked may be added to the mixture for
stufing eggs-mayonnaise, mustard,
mushroom, tomato, or they may be
mixed with French dressing.

DIDN'T WANT TO MEET HIM
coIored Parsons Description of HIS
Satanic Majesty Brought Converts
to Mourner's Bench.

The late celebrated Peter Vinegar
VINO in days gone by used to make
periodical visits to Danville, says the
Advocate, for the purpose of deliver
ing his sermons, remarkable on ac-
count of their startling texts, on one
occasion spoke to a large assemblage
of the colored population and a few
whites at the old colored Methodist
church on Walnut street. He arose,
raised his spectacles from his eyes,
and said:
my beloved brederen and sisteren,
take my tex dis evenin' in dat por-
ton NV de Scriptur' whar de 'Postle
Paul pints his pistol at de 'Phesians,
an whar it says, 'Whar de hen
scratches dars de worm, 'ceptin' de
case whar sum previus hen hav bin
dar'" He then proceeded to tell his
hearers what a horrible personal ap-
pearance the devil presented, with the
following description: "His eyes look
like two balls NV fire. his teef like two
skinned saplins, his ears hang down
like a 'baccer leaf an his bref smoke
like a tar kittle." That night Peter
made many converts.

TO BREAK LIP-BlTING HABIT
Distressing Form of Nervousness Need
Not Prove Too Hard to
Overcome.

The other day a friend said to me-:
Have you ever noticed how many
women bite their lips?" / had to con-
fess that l hadn't the slightest idea
of the number, but that would go on
an observation tour the next time |
came in contact with roomful OF
women. The opportunity presented
itself a few days later, and l went
about among them trying to discover
those who had contracted the habit.
About 40 per cent showed this form
of nervousness, which is scarcely less
disfguring than biting the nails, and
far more difficulty to cure.
The skin of the lips is so delicate
and thin that the slightest change in
temperature will cause it to dry and
break, and the irritation of this sur
face roughness seems to lend an ire
sistible impulse to the teeth
Very soon this slight abrasion be
comes raw and sore, and in winter is
particularly difficult to heal. If your
lips are in this condition | would first
apply spirits of camphor, which is an
astringent, and a natural protection
Over this place a coating of vaseline,
which will allay the inflammation and
help heal the skin.
To cure the lip-bitlng habit it is
sometimes necessary to resort to the
same methods that are used to break
the habit of biting the nails. If you
have the courage to apply coating
of aloes to the outer edge of the lips
1t will serve to remind you the next
time you start biting them.-Pitts-
burgh Dispatch.

Safety First.

John Sharp Williams stepped out OF

Bob asked him a number of ques'

"By the way, senator, have you got

request under the head of unfinished
business.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle Of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No ono
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

BAKING Cookies,

II you have difficulty with your
cookies, either because they cook too
fast on the bottom or are hard to get
out of the pan, try using large drip
ping pan and placing the cookies on
the bottom of the pan rather than in
1t, Turn the pan upside down, lay a
piece of buttered paper or paraffin
paper on it and then lay on the
cookies. They will cook evenly and
there will be no danger of breaking
them when taking them off.

Potato and Onion Salad.

Pare and cut potatoes into thin
slices, parboil until done but not
washed. Drain and pour on shallow
dish. Now take centers of boiled
onion rings, mash with fork, add a
sitting of salt and pepper, then mix
with enough boiled dressing to make
a smooth, rather thick emulsion. Sift
salt and pepper over the potatoes,
then cover with the dressing and let
1t stand for an hour to ripen. This is
a nice luncheon dish and can be
served with rings of hard boiled eggs,
cured bacon or boiled ham.
