Formerly Lived in Augusta

The Fallon girl was daughter of Mrs
Richard Fitzgerald, who resides in the
old Fort Western building in Augusta.
While very young children the girl and
her brother were put in the care of Mrs.
Ada F. Hunt who is now State agent for
the protection of children. The girl was
later taken by the Good Shepherds Home
of Gardiner, and Canon r. w. Plant, rec
tor of Christ church of that city, was
made her guardian. Canon Plant found
home for her in the household of Mr..
and Mrs. George Marsh of Dexter. Mr..
and Mrs. Marsh gave the girl the oppor-
tunity for educational advantages, send
ing her to kent's Hill Seminary. where
she studied for two years. Although an
apt student the girl was in some ways
not inclined to take advantage Of the OPP
portunities provided her and last spring
was put back in the care Of Canon Plant,
who secured for her the position in the
household OF DR.. Hurd

with the man who had been paying her
such persistent attention. Ore reason Tor
this belief was the fact that the only

Varying

in the Home

VoU are % accustomed TO hear
! the word artistic applied to Dress

take 1t for granted It should be thus

isnever considered in relation to food.
Yet there 10 real art in arranging

welcomed daily. along with variables
OF all sorts. The variety helps to
keep the appetite stimulated. The
staples insure the presence Of the
different food elements required by
the body. The menu maker needs to
steer a medium course.
Impressions carry over strongly
from one meal to the next. and from
ono day to the next. So with the ex-
ception of certain staples. usually
mild in character. such as bread. but
ter. milk and the like. try to avoid
serving any food in the Same form
twice In the same day. and. better
still. avoid repeating it the same day
in any form.
Another good rule Is to avoid serv-
Ing food which gives its pronounced
character to a dish twice in the same
meal. even in different forms. How
often We see tomato soup, tomato
catsup and tomato salad on the Same
dinner table. Or find soup, meat and
salad favored with onions, and per-
haps onions served as a vegetable
also. Care should be taken in cook
cry TO develop the natural flavor Of
each kind of food. and to add extra
navors sparingly, so that they may
be fully enjoyed when they are used.
THE appetizing effect is heightened
by serving simple dish with one
highly seasoned: a fluid. then q solid.
or hot one and then cold one. Tho
