summer edibles, and wisely used in
planning the daily menus they make the
use of meat almost superfluous.
These same dairy products, compris
ing as they do milk, cream, eggs, butter
and cheese, may be so varied in their
daily serving that even the most critical
members of the family will not tire of
them; while several of them combined. as
In the baked cheese au gratin, the Creole
eggs and the macaroon cream, furnish
very substantial dishes that are extreme
" high in food values.
Most of these products are still quite
high in price (save the milk at 10 cents
o quartz, and they must be economically
used if one is to obtain full value for the
money expended. Fortunately small
bit of cheese goes q long way in flavoring
any dish to which it is added; eggs may
be extended" by the addition of other
edibles, as in the egg and potato hash,
the Creole eggs, etc, and any of the milk
buildings or desserts are as economical
as they are nouriShing.
Substitutes for wheat bread is SUBJ

In, and milk should be largely used in
making these. Also when other flours

to remember that little more salt must
be added to give it good flavor This is
q point that is very important, and YOU
will be surprised to find how that "f1at

called "war breads') will vanish if you
will be little more generous when meas

Sugar conservation must cut down the straw
berry jam production this year. If any is
allowed unhesitatingly recommend the sssun

real jam, goes much further, as it is very
rich, and is indisputably more delicious.
Gooseberry jam may very possibly be made
sparngly. "Head and tail" the amount Of
berries required, wash, put on the stove with
an equal amount Of sugar, and boil three

Mackerel and Floun-
der at Their Best
By GORDON BLEU


At fish store, not long ago, heard a
woman refusing to buy some fresh mackerels
only because they were too small. This woman
Will never be q good cook, or, perhaps, she
never cooked small mackerels and does not
know that the smaller the fish the more deli
cate is its meat.

macAerel is small, cut in halves; if larger, in
pieces. Cut in small pieces the white part of
punch OF leeks. Brown lightly in two table,
spoonsfu Of butter substitute or oil. Add one
cupful OF water. When boiling add pepper
and salt, add the slices of fish and four pota-
toes cut into pieces. Cook slowly for forty-
rye minutes. Instead of the cupful of water
you can use one-half cupful of water and
one-half a cupful Of tomato pulp. The green
part Of the leeks can be used for soups.
MaekereI with Anchovy Cream--Lift the
h'ets OF three mackerels. Arrange them in
shallow dish with some water, not quite
enough to cover them; add spray of parsley
.a& Bring to the boiling point, then put in
the oven for twenty minutes Take off the
parsley, add cupful Of white sauce to
which one tablespoonful Of anchovy butter has
oeen added. Fiets of mackerel in tomato
sauce can be made in the same way, the to-
ma5o sauce substituting for the white sauce.

A "Theory of Color"
Scheme
By ELIZABETH PORTER wYcKoFr


I'm EVERY good landscape the artist uses
all the colors there are. You do not quite
believe that? Then notice next time you
see fine view or really natural painting.
The landscape, even though it seems at the
first glance all one green, will show tones of
yellow and red, all fitted into a harmony of
complementing colors in the light that enveI-
ops the whole. A good painting of outdoors
has its mixtures of red. yellow and blue, the
three primary colors, no matter what amount
of light may determine the color values
That bit Of color theory does not sound as
it it had much to do with doing over the
the nearer one approaches to a natural out
door arrangement of coiors in decorating
room the better the effect. It is one step in
the right direction to use single or two har-
monizing colors-a blue bedroom. a green Iiv
ing room and SO forth. The next step toward
perfect room is to adjust several color va1ues
so that people will say: "Why, anything looks
right in that room!"
A fine Persian rug often contains all the
colors Of the rainbow, but SO dominated and
softened by one color and so even in tone
that it gives the eGsot Of an harmonious land
scape. In a successfully decorated room the
rug, as a rule, contains the darkest tones: the
walls should be lighter, preferably Of middle
tone that is found also in the rug, and the
ceiling, of course, must be the lightest. That
is the way it is outdoors, with the earth, the
trees and the sky.
You will find if you think about it that the
rooms that look well have all those three pri-
mary colors in different shades and conbina-
tions. Analyze the best rooms you know and
see how true this is. The brown NAV exist as
dark orange, which is red and yellow mixed
and darkened Add blue cushion or two to
the orange and you have your color scheme
completed.
just as with bright orange, a bright blue
completes the spectrum, so if you darken your
red, yellow and blue in different proportions
ycu have, for instance, dark brown and old
blue, dull red and faint green, dark purple
and pure yellow. Deep green and certain
dull rose color and dark blue with pure orange
are the same colors in different proportions
In other words, choose your dominant color
and put with it lesser amounts Of its compile
ments.
II you follow a real scheme Of colors like
this you will have room that contains charac-
ter and comfort, and will give pleasure A
room with golden brown walls, accessories in
warm reds and yellows and rug of deep
brown, rose and blue will give the effect Of
sunlit autumn forest.
A room in blues and browns, with vermilion
spots OF color, is like sunset at the seashore
The gray with-dark- blue-and-a touch f-oranre
room now SO popular is like the end of .
snowy winter day-gray snow, blue mountains
and solid bit Of orange-red sun going Down
behind the blue wall Of hills.

sliced radishes. Serve with crisp lettuce
hearts and mayonnaise or boiled dressing
Beets
Conservation Beets-"Thin" the young beets
when about the size of marbles or wal
nuts. Cut off the tops (not too close)
and cook beets and tops separately Chop
the tops fine, season and place in a mould
in shallow hot vegetable dish and surround
with the small beets scraped, sailed and but
tered. This is particularly nice combination
dish. If the beets are abundant they may be
served by themselves and the "greens" re-
served until the next day. Or all may be
cooked and chopped together if the beets are
very small.
Onions
The small new onions are so delicate that
the simple method Of boiling and serving plain
can hardly be improved. AS variety, how
ever, try placing them, cooked, in buttered
glass baking dish and pouring over them
white sauce, then covering with fine crumbs
and bits of butter and grated cheese and
browning in hot oven. This is one of the
most delicious vegetable dishes possible.
Peas are our June vegetable luxury par ex-
when served as "peas" pure and simple A
few points may be brought to mind which
make great difference in the perfection of
the result. Peas are best absolutely fresh, as
their sweetness is soon lost. If you have your
own garden always cook peas as soon after
picking as possible. Another important point
is to cook in as little water as possible tightly
covered. When nearly done uncover and allow

to be poured off. There will be only spoon
full two Of the delicious liquid remaining,
which always should be served with the peas
A trouble to watch them lest they burn? Sure
ly, but trouble we'll worth while and only
for the last five minutes. Two or three spoons
full of thick cream is delicious addition.
Serve very hot. Prepared in this way dish
Of June peas is feast for the gods, and not
surpassed by any vegetable Of the entire gar
den.
Green pea soup is most delicious and may be
made of peas that have gotten ahead" of you
and are too large and hard for ordinary serv-
ing. Put quart of peas in kettle and lay
on top Of them the pods, separated from the
peas by square of cheesecloth; just cover
with water and boil until peas are very soft
Remove the pods and rub the peas through

hot milk and thicken with tablespoonful each

Serve with whipped cream, if possible. With a
lettuce and cheese salad, and cottage pudding
Substitute fours) with strawberry sauce
(add a cupful of crushed strawberries to
small amount of hard sauce), this soup makes
an adequate and delicious luncheon
Never wash peas after Smelling; wash the
pods first, if necessary. The English add mint
to peas, but to our American taste it is no inn
provement. A little onion is sometimes liked.
The pan in which the peas are cooked may be
rubbed with raw onion or minced onion in
small amount added to the vegetable.
