Makes fine RELISH
SUGGESTIONS FOR SERVING THE
HUMBLE CUCUMBER.
Few Vegetables Have the AdaptabiIity
Of This Friend Of the Housewife
Common Way of Preparing
1t Is Not the Best.


as cool and refreshing either to eye or
palate as the humble cucumber, which
is growing more popular as table
food each year, writes Mrs. Christine
Frederick in the Chicago Daily News.
In the heated season we come to de-
pend upon it largely as salad, as it
is capable of infinite combinations, or
served alone, or with tomatoes, rad
ishes and other vegetables.
The overripe cucumber should not
be chosen, as then the seeds are too
large and the pulp coarse. Neither
should it be at all underripe, as then
it is bitter and the pulp acrid. In par
ing, take a generous skin, as the flesh
near the skin is always more or less
bitter. Unless the seeds are small they
should be discarded entirely, as they
are pure waste and do not do the body
any good, merely irritating the n
testines.
Instead of cutting the cucumber in
! slices, it is sometimes preferable to d.
vide it into three sections and scoop
out the seeds, using a sharp knife with
a curved blade like grapefruit pre-
| parer. This leaves a solid chunk of
flesh which can then be sliced or
chopped as desired without seeds.
Cucumbers should not be allowed to
stand in salted water, as this tough
ems the pulp. They are best if pared.
placed in only little clear water and
the bowl put into the refrigerator.
Although we use it chiefly as a
salad, there are many dishes for the
stewing or frying of cucumbers which
should not be despised. The large
dice of the firm flesh can be slowly
stewed for about fifteen minutes with
very little water in which are few
drops of onion juice. The addition of
n little cream, salt and pepper makes
this very dainty dish.
! It can also be used fried like sum-
! mer squash or egg plant. Cut in thick
slices, dust with salt and pepper, roll
In flour and saute in butter for about
| 20 minutes. Sometimes delicate
onion sauce, parsley or other herbs
can be added
Owing to its refreshing neutrality of
taste, the cucumber is par excellence
the salad to accompany fish. 1t also
combines eScellently with dressing
made of sour cream. The common
way of preparing it with strong vine.
gar, cut in conventional slices, is by
far the poorest method, killing its deli.
rate individual taste. A light oil
dressing or thin mayonnaise is most
preferable.
When the skin is glossy and not
spoiled by too many spines, most
decorative table effects can be secured
by utilizing the rind as well as the
pulp. The entire pulp may be scooped
out, leaving the cucumber lengthwise
and thus making "cucUmber boat"
into which can be stuffed the chopped
| pulp, rndishes and other salad mix
lures. Cut into three sections or two
rrossways. it will appear like an at
tractive green pyramid or cup, in
which also any salad mixture can be
served. Combined with the red Of the
radsh, the yellow nasturtium. flowers,
Or the scarlet of the tomato or pimen-
to. the humble cucumber can enter
largely into decorative table scheme.

ST. PauPs Anniversary

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The celebration of the l5Otn an
niversary of St. PauPs Chapel, which is
ftlv termed "St. Pauls golden epoch"
opens on Sunday morning, October ",
1916. with the Rev. DR.. Geer's historical
address at 10:3O o'clock. This office IS
wisely committed 20 him, as his rela-
ton as vicar for so many years has
brought him into intimate accord with
this sacred temple, which stands to-day
serene. majestic and venerable. Re-
turning pilgrims will find it little
changed since their last visit, standing
As it does uumoved by the assaults OF
gathering years. The torrents of hu-
manitv surge beneath its shadow, eager
and impetuous. while 1t looks down
calm. mute and benignant.
The gates and doors Of ST. PauPs are
ever open wide to welcome the warm,
bright light of the sun and all who will
enter. Here the weary and burdened
NAV come and be at rest. Poverty is
the passport to enter here. The greater
the need and the deeper the sorrow the
more ready the succor and the sweeter
the balm. Tenderness for childhood,
help and guidance for youth, and sym
pathv. relief and hope for all who are
down are given here in large and cease
less bounty at all hours of day and
night. No place and no time Is too
sacred for deeds of love.
This Is the noble mission Of st.
PauPs ain her majesty Of glory" and
thousands who have felt her benign
ministrations are swelling the song OF
her praise in the rapture Of their re-
demption. They have begun to live
anew. Here is where good deeds are
the essence and life Of good words and
where truth acted is more eloquent
than truth preached.
When duty becomes an all-absorbing
habit IL is adorable. Here in these
holy courts the vicar of st. Pauls has
been showing in that close, tender and
practical sympathy with misfortune
that his ear is ever open TO its plant
and that his hand is always ready to
help. Year by year this work grows in
volume and in bencicence, adding
steadily TO those whom it has rescued
and redeemed. and the thousands who
behold its divine influence invoke upon
it infinite blessings through endless
years.
Stand forever. noble temple,
A. your years in honor grow,
In your grandeur. in your splendor.
While the ages onward go.
When our days on earth are ending,
And her bell but family calls.
May we knecl in final service
At the shrine Of old st. Pauls.

The Montgomery Monument

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In front Of the east window of
St. Pauls Chapel, on the outside of
the church facing Broadway, stands a
monument to the memory of Major Cen
eral Richard Montgomery, who fell in
the attack by the American army on
Quebec in IT'S. This monument was
ordered by Congress, but was erected
in its present position by the City of
New York
General Montgomery was young
man when he gave his life in his coun-
try's cause, and very appropriately the
main feature Of the monument was
that Of a "broken column" Mr.. Benson
j. Losing, the celebrated historian and
author Of the "Field Book Of the Revo-
luton" gave me the following rather
amusing narrative in regard TO the
monument.
Mr.. Losing stated that on one oc-
casion, very many years ago, member
Of the Common Council of the City OF
New York, passing st. Pauls Church
observed the monument, and while
studying the details Of the same he was
mortified TO notice that the column was
in a dilapidated condition, broken off
at the top, and he was still more dis
tressed to think that the city he had
the honor 10 represent had neglected to
protect the monument from damage by
neglect or vandalism. At the next
meeting Of the Common Council of the
City OF New York this gentleman
brought the subject of the condition of
the monument 10 their attention, and so
thoroughly convinced they were at the
importance Of the statement made by
"tho honorable gentleman from the
tn Ward" that il was Immediately
voted that the monument be thoroughly
repaired This was accomplished in a
skilful manner by cutting of the
broken part Of the column. and the
work was completed in a most artistic
manner by placing AN urn on top Of the
repaired column, and thus il is 10 this
day" WILLIAM r. COCK.

A Conscientious Healer

A case of conscience supposed to
be unique, even in the annals of Brit
ish military tribunals, is reported by
the London correspondent Of 1.-The
Journal of the American Medical
Association" The victim is a Scot
fish physician, a practitioner OF
standing and For some time tubercu-
losis officer of his county. When
called upon lately to don the Kings
uniform he prayed to be excused as
an incurable pacilist and the dutiful
son Of a parish minister who had
never ceased to preach against the
essential sinfulness Of all wars, how
ever just the cause.
In Difference to his settled convic-
tons the local tribunal suffered him
to have his way, provided he would
turn his humane inclinations to ac-
count by exercising his medical skill
in one of the military hospitals. But
the man Of conscience was not salts
fed. He could not, he said, discern
any real distinction between fighting
and serving those who fought, and
"the spectacle of the never-ending
contest which was drenching Europe
in blood had but served to steel his
resolution against what was shown
clearly to be a crime against hu-
manity." He accordingly asked the
Argyllshire Appeal Tribunal 70
grant complete exemption.
1t is not surprising to learn that
his appeal was rejected, but would
it be prudent to place the wounded in
the hands of one guided by so tender
a conscience? The real wonder is
that his conscience allows him to
practise medicine at all. Doctors are
constantly telling US that a great
majority of our bodily ills are in
large measure a result of our own
folly and intemperance and disre-
gard of the obvious rules of right
living. One whose scruples are so
rice that he would rather see
wounded soldier die than help him in
his extremity could hardly be ex-
pected to countenance the weaknesses
and misdeeds of the common run of
civilians under his care. We can
imagine him running over the his
tories of his patients with many an
anxious qualm, endeavoring to deter
mine which of them are worth saving
and which may properly be left TO
reap the natural consequences of
their own sins and indiscretions.
A physician so delicate in his min
istrations could never hope to enjoy
a very large practice, and it is per-
haps fortunate that few hold them
selves qualified to play the moral
avenger or can afford to do so.

A Long Way After kipling

East may be East and West may be
West, but Kipling is by no means
always Kipling. That is the sad
truth borne in by his war writings.
The current Jutland series has a
high and exceptional interest, owing
to the unique sources at his COM
Iaand. The Admiralty have evident
" given him free access to countless
official reports hitherto sealed In red
tape. But it is the vivid matter, not
the manner, or, almost, the matter
despite the manner, that holds at
tention. Almost any able-bodied re-
porter would be apt to do better with
the facts.
Mr.. Kipling himself has been
quite aware of this relative failure.
Many months ago he remarked to a
visitor: "The literary gent has gone
out with the war. He took his die
tionary with him." He was strong
ly averse to taking up his pen and
yielded only as an act of service to
his country. British reticence, plus
the British censor, had let little
enough of the human tragedy Of the
struggle reach the printed page. If
any Englishman could express these
human facts it seemed that the au-
thor of "The Drums Of the Fore and
Aft" would be the man.
Over here it appears as if one
chief cause of Mr.. Kipling's failure
was his straining after his ancient
manner. Artificial twists abound at
every turn. As for the verse, the
most charitable thing to do is to
ignore it; yet the fact that Mr.. Kip
ling thinks it necessary to write such
lines and give them post Of honor
shows up his whole point of view.
He is not content with his present
inspiration and it's natural express
sion. He must needs bark back to
his hour of popularity and mimic its
manner as best he can.
Is it too late to hope that Mr..
Kipling will yet forget his old hori-
IONS and set sail for new shores?
There is abundant strength of in
SEPARATION in the material before him
and surely the man who wrote the
"Plain Tales" and the Jungle Book"
is great enough to write about a
great war in a great way.

Rented Clothes

This is going to be an active win
ter in rented dress suits, we see by
the paper. Prosperity has spread
even to the lower East Side and to
Seventh Avenue, and more balls and
socials are scheduled than ever be-
fore. The great question now under
debate is the formation Of a Dress
Suit Trust and the boosting Of the
rental figure from $3.50 to 81.
The most conspicuous renters, how
ever, stand quite at the other end
Of the social scale from the rented
dress suit. They have so much
money that they always buy outright
anything that fancy or ambition die
tates. But their whole habiliment Of
life is really cut off the same piece
of cloth as the 81 a night dress suit.
The town house that they purchase
ready made and ready furnished IS
not theirs because it is bought and
paid for. 1t fits them just as alb
surdly as the rented dress suit.
When they order a country estate,
manufactured by the smartest firm
of architects, aided and abetted by
the latest lady decorators, they get
something that was never designed
for them, bears no conceivable rela-
lation to their tastes or manners, ana
is something that they can never by
any possibility fit themselves to.
Lesser pretenders stretch all the
way down the line. The whole Amer
lean notion Of keeping up front
flows from the same instinct. The
literary lady from Chicago breaking
into Washington Square rents ideas
I for the occasion-about Cezanne and
Gaspard. Her front is intellectual,
and she pays for it not 81 a night
