ALETTER FROM A SCHOOL GIRL

of the bown. Always take food from
the side of the spoon. Keep the ell
bows atthe side. Never attemptto
talk with a mouth full Never use
the knife for any purpose except that
of cutting food. Eat quietly and
slowly. Place the knife and fork
straight on the plate and little to
one side when not in use. Remember
that happy, cheerful conversation
aids digestion.
Don't you thing these are rules
every boy and girl should know?
Last week we made some soup that
every one of us liked so much, must
tell you about it. 1t was Scream of
tomato soup" Have you ever made
it? If you haven't, try it once from
this recipe:
Two cups tomatoes, cups Of milk,
teaspoon salt, a tablespoons butter,
tablespoons flour, IA teaspoon
soda. 1-8 teaspoon white pepper.
Stew the tomatoes until tender, add
the soda and strain into white sauce
(Which you have made by melting the
butter in a saucepan, and adding the
flour and seasoning. When smooth
add milk and stir until it boils. When
it thickens, add the strained toma-
toes.) Serve at once.
Instead of the tomatoes, you can
use peas, beans, corn or any vege-
table you like.
I never knew until last week that
soups are divided itno two classes;
those made with meat or fish stocks
and those made with milk or cream;
however, somesoups contain both.
Soups without stocks are classified
as: Cream soups, made Of vege-
tables or fish, with milk and small
amount Of cream and seasoning.
These are always thickened. 2. Purees
made from vegetables or fish, forced
through a strainer and retained in
soup, milk and seasoning. This is
thicker than cream soup.
only have a little time left, SO
I'm going to tell you what we learned
about milk.
One quart of milk contains as much
food as eight eggs, or one pound OF
steak. Isn't that worth knowing
when eggs and meat cost so much?
One Of US will write you agair
next week, and tell you more about
what we are learning.
Wishing you the best Of success
with your recipe, I remain

Among the fields above the sea
Among the winds at play;

HISTORICAL MEETING UNITED
DAUGHTERS OF THE
CONFEDERACY

In a very graceful speech of a few
words at the historical meeting of
the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. r.
F. Mitchell paid high tribute to the
ability of Miss Margarita Moreno,
historian of the Pensacola chapter,
who was in charge of the meeting,
one of the brightest socially and most
valuable from a historical and liter
airy standpoint ever given by the
chapter.
Mrs. Mitchell, who is president of
the Pensacola chapter, had thrown
open her beautiful home on Twelfth
avenue to the U. D.. G.. and their
friends, and the afternoon proved a
happy combination of music, talks on
the Confederate navy, and CONVERSE
ton, with tea and sanwiches at the
close.
The chapter was honored in having
as guests for the afternoon several
members of the United Confederate
Veterans, Col. w. A. Rawls, assistant
adjutana general on the staff Of the
division commander; Major N. B.
Cook, Major T. ]. Roberts and 1t.
81. C. Flowers.
Featuring the Confederate navy,
and especially honoring the heroic
deeds of Stephen R. Mallory, secre-
tary of the navy, the program was
full of interest, opening with the
singing Of the Bonnie Blue Flag"
in which all Joined.
Miss Moreno then made a short
talk, defining the purpose of the
meeting, and bringing out very clear
ly the need of greater familiarity
with the events of history of the war
between the states. Miss Moreno is
a most graceful speaker, and nothing
on the program gave greater pleas
use or was of more historical value
than the points which she touched
upon.
Miss Moreno then introduced Major
Cook, who gave an interesting sketch
of Secretary Stephen R. Mallory, with
other valuable war data.
One of the most charming numbers
on the program was the reading OF
a wartime poem, "The Ladies of Rich
mond," by Mrs. w. w. Whitfield, one
| of the most Jealous members of the
u. D. C. chapter, and also deeply in
terested In the Red Cross movement
Mrs. Whitfield prefaced the poem
with few words regarding the work
| of the Pensacola Red Cross chapter
and the great need for this work
Drawing a parallel of the work ac-
complished by the southern women
she read the beautiful old poem, writ
ten in commemoration of their brave
deeds and unselfish devotion during
the war between the. state.

charm of the program with ballac
