Economical Dishes
For the Housewife

The economical housewife will do well
to take into consideration the many uses
of dried beans when she Is ordering her
weekly supplies. These can be made into
very palatable dishes when they are prop
crly prepared. The best way to do this
is to soak them over night rinse them
in clear water and then simmer slowly
with a quarter of teaspoonful of bak-
ing soda in the water. Fresh vegetables
are liable to be more or less of luxury
in the small household at this time OF
the year. Dried vegetables are good az
a change in the regular family diet. The
trouble with most housekeepers is that
they consider sucCotash baked beans and
porridge the only dishes which may be
prepared from dried vegetables.
Sweet dried corn is a good thing to
have on hand. for it is far superior to the
timed variety and can hardly be dis
tinguished from the fresh vegetable If
you soak ii over night. One delicious
recipe for dried corn is corn mock
oysters. Soak the corn over night and i'll
the morning boil II with a pinch of bak-
ing soda. Press out the pulp with a sharp
knife and to pint of the pulp add z
beaten eggs, teaspoonful of butter and
salt, dash of pepper and enough flour
to bind Roll into small cakes and saute
in butter, or drop into hot fat and make
into fritters.
Good puree soups may be made from
dried beans and peas, but they must be
soaked and boiled for a sufficiently long
time beforehand or the result will be
failure. When they have become tender,
mash them through a sieve. Place again
in a saucepan and stir i'm enough milk,
pepper and salt to make seasoning. Add
butter before serving.
A very good hash for the mpromptu
meal is made of lentils and potatoes. Just
take one and one-half cupfu1s of cold
cooked potatoes, two Cupfuls of boiled
lentils. salt and pepper to taste, and
dash of onion Juice. Cook this hash until
brown and serve with tomato sauce.

THE SENSITIVE
HEART
By
ELLEN ADAIR
On Mistaken BIuntness

| phrase or the unhappy turn OF a sentence
may prove the death blow to friendship.
And most assurcdy are rudeness and
bluntness Of speech the first nails in It's
coffin.
The woman who prides herself on hcr
buntness OF speech is seldom cultured or
even well educated, and most assuredly
oddly lacking in sensitvcness. And sensi-
tlvoness is quality to be priced in
these careless. rough-and-ready days.
but It doesn't do to be sensitive" de-
clared skeptical individual the other
day, Long years ago. ! used to have
sensitive sort Of disposition myself
strange as it may now seem. felt things
very keenly. indeed did. Chance phrases
and casual remarks would mean a great
deal in my Interpretation. and altogether
It was very unpleasant aud ncomfort-
able. So | decided to have no more OF

not as a sort Of armor against the
sings and arrows of my friends
criticisms"
"And YOU succeedcd?" inquired an in
leIcStcu nearer
"Oh. yes, succeeded quite thorough
ly," said the speaker. But she sighed as
she spoke For nvoluntarily she was
thinking of tho early days when the
world was to her the freshest and most
glorious place, and although one was
rather sensitive to pain, that only meant
that conversely one had a very deep
capacity for pleasure, too. For the sem
sitive heart always feels very, very keen
ly. Life runs quicker. emotions are deep
or. the current OF youth-glorious. enthu-
siastic youths running in our veins. TO
those who have eyes to see and hearts
to understand tho giCt OF sensitivcncss Ia
tho greatest this world or the next can
offer zone crowded hour of glorious life
is worth an age without name" And
only those whose perceptions are keen,
whose feelings are sensitive to the glory
and tho wonder of the world can ever
really live.
Tho man or woman whose heart is
dulled to feeling has lost the whole secret
Of the universe. "''rs poor heart that
never rejoiccs," and the sensitive heart is
the one that can most truly rejoice. Ca
pacity for pleasure will always include
capacity for pain--but tho glory and the
wonder i'm the heights and depths of both
will make matters worth while! For the
finest natures are the sensitive ones.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-03-19

An extraordinary number OF otherwise
quite sane and normal people imagine
that TO be rude and blunt in manner is
the outward and visible sign of an inde-
pendent mind and enlightened viewpoint.
How educated people can fall into any
such delusion is a positive mystery! For
rudeness and bluntness are very, very
far from being recommendations. Upon
the contrary, they come perilously near
being vices.
81 always say just what I think, my
dear. so don't be offended" is the pre-
lude to many an impertlnent remark.
But It certainly doesn't remove or excuse
the impertinence.
The ofncious woman who is forever
setting the whole world Alright and who
has nothing to learn but everything to
teach in n universe so blinded as this,
is always with us We can't get rid OF
her and we haven't the heart to put her
in her place. In vague, annoyed way
we cannot help admiring her for her
lmpertinence. For, although her position
ia more to be interpreted as onicious than
official, she certainly has the courage of
her convictions.
You know | am n firm believer in
speaking my mind on all and every occa-
sion.' she will assert proudly as II lack

Yes, indeed. we know IT, and know it only
too well. too. And the knowledge is not
conducive to any sort of affection toward

For We arc all very. very human. 80

his or her faults pointed out. II is de-
cidedly disconcerting, and VIC feel no
yearninss of gratitude or spontaneous
affection toward the one who so ruth

slons
The woman who prides herself on her
biuntness will never in this world be
popular. She may imagine that She is.
she may have a long list Of acquaint-
ances. But they are nothing more than
mere acquaintances. They never will be
friends. For friendship never yet flour
ished on the soil of a rude and unthnll-
