Several days ago I went into one Of
the shops to purchase a pair Of shoes,
The young woman who waited on me
punctuated her answers to me with a
conversation with one Of her co-workers
about another girl who had II pretty
soft TO use her own vernacular. The
girl who was the subject Of conversation,
it appears, had gotten a more responsible
position with an advance in salary, and,
in fact, it appeared to these two that
some people were just naturally born
lucky!
yet this girl bewaiing her own bad
luck while waiting on me, began by
asking me, although I was in deep
mourning and had stated l wanted shoes
for myself, whether I wanted tan or
white. Then, although plainly told her
my size, she measured my foot and
brought me a size smaller than l could
wear and that in patent leather! When
she finally grasped just what I wanted
she told me bluntly that they were out
of that particular style just at present,
and made no effort to find out whether
a new consignment was expected. Natu-
rally I made no effort to return to this
particular saleswoman."

Tea as Prepared by Chinese

TO the Editor Of Wonion's Page:
Dear Madam-will you please tell me how tea
is prepared by the Chinese? E. 7.
In the best restaurants of the Chinese
quarter in San Francisco tea is never made
IN a teapot according TO the Scientific Amer
lean Cyclopeda of Formulas, but is brewed
separately. The cup itself is different. 1t is
a small bowl covered with a strainer and a
lid tiny bundle Of long tea leaves is
placed in the strainer and the boiling water
is poured over IL. This first infusion is in
variably thrown away as being UNIT TO
drink This procedure has caused the leaves
70 swell and when next the boiling water
Is poured on it filters through slowly and is
allowed to steep for few moments. When
the strainer lis removed the golden liquid
that remains in the bowl ready for drinking,
without cream or sugar, is as different from
the tea ordinarily served as champagne is
from ginger pop.

am not sure but that there should be some
legislation to cover this situation during
the wars duration, II it can't be accom-
plished voluntariy--just as the killing OF
baby Holsters has been prohibited.
But let me again impress upon you the
fact that the restaurant keepers can't do
these things alone. We must have the sim
cere support of the American people in these
wartime measures
But the real solution of this food prob
lem is in the hands of American women.
The hotels, restaurants and clubs of Phila-
delphia feed perhaps $4,000 persons. In a
city of our population this is only handful.
The housekeeper in the modern Ameri-
can home may not be able to practice food
economy on such a large scale as the hotels,
but the principles are the same, whether you
are catering for 5000 or g."

To Make Strawberry Jelly

Dear Madam-May l make a suggestion 10
OF your readers? Several days ago some one
wrote asking how strawberry jelly could be
made successfully and what to add TO II. As
your answer stated apples can be added al
though Just at present these are scarce. Cur
rants can also be added. ! have found that the
best way do Is to the strawberry juice
in the regular way and put 1t away. then when
apples are plentiful or currants, whichever you
care to turn the strawberry juice out, add
10 the other fruit with the amount of sugar
called for, and make into Jelly. Use one pint
OF strawberry Juice 10 two pints Of apple Juice
and three-fourths Of cupful Of sugar TO each
cupful of the Juice. Cook the juices together
which has first been heated cook two or three
minutes longer, to about 23S degrees Fahren-
heit by the sugar thermometer; have the glasses
on a cloth in a pan OF hot water. Fill at once.

metropolitan restaurants can help in the con-
servation of the country's food supply.
Three important steps will at once oc-
cur to every man in our business:
First. our menus can be shortened and
simplfed The number of ready dishes
could be curtailed They had to do this in
England by force of law. We should do 1t
voluntarily.
Second The portions in many Of our
metropolitan restaurants are extravagantly
large. What is not eaten is thrown away.
These portions should be cut down.
Third, The serving of young animals
and birds should be discouraged. These,
especially the females, should be allowed
to grow to maturity before being killed.
There Is small food value in baby lamb,
squad, chicken, milk pigs and the like. l

The chances are, my dear young lady,
that even II you were accepted as a nurse
and were sent abroad your destination
would not be the same as your husbands,
for the Government must regulate these
things to best serve its interests Women
who have had preliminary Red Cross train
ing can apply for the place of assistant
nurse, and, If accepted, their bare expenses
will be paid, although they must provide
their own uniforms and other incidentals.
The work is very hard and requires nerve

salaries, but TO become one you would have
to take the regular hospital nursing course
of two years.
