We're not formally introduced to the
girls and so you took no liberties in

is n certain camaraderie at school and
school functions that oftentimes serves
better than formal introductons, for

MRS. WILSON SUGGESTS
\, THAT DAUGHTER HELP
Advises Letting Her Go Into the Kitchen to Prepme
Whole Medicines Sunday Breakfast
She Could Manage

' Breakfast is entirely an informal
meal and it may be served entirely
from the table. See that the table is
covered with silent cloth or table
pad, not only for the protection of
the table, but also to prevent noise
and to give a good. firm appearance
to the table linen. Now spread the
cloth. Surely no family is so poor
that they are unable to have a snow
white and spotless cloth with which
to begin the first meal of the day
it takes but few minutes to
launder table linen.
Spread the cloth smoothly on the
table. A fern dish or a low, fiat
dish with a fern or vine or even
small vase with a few green leaves
may he placed in the center of the
table. Lacking this. use a small
willow tray covered with dolly or
a napkin and let this serve for
bread basket.
Set plate for each member of
the family and then on this put the
prepared fruit Lay a knife and
three spoons to the right-hand side.
placing the edge of the knife toward
the plate, and all silver one-half inch
in from the edge of the table. Place
the glass Of water at the point of
the knife. Vow. on line with the
glass and to the left place the bread
and-butter plate just above the fork.
which is placed at the left-hand side
of the plate.
Alongside of the fork place the
napkin. Have finger bowls at each
place to use after fruit. Place the
pepper and salt shakers on the table.
allowing one set for every two per-
sons. Place the sugar and cream
pitcher on the table. Have daughter
remove the fruit plate after the
fruit is eaten to side table. and
then serve the cereal.
Mother may serve the fish and
potatoes and leave daughter to pour
the coffee. Every mother owes it to
her daughter to see that she can
prepare and cook a plain. palatable
meal.
Teach her how to make a good cup
of coffee and tea. See to it that she
can cook eggs. bacon. fish and make
toast and biscuits. The knowledge
of these few necessary things may
prove valuable help to her in times
OF emergency The most pitiable
story | ever hear from women is
that Mother wouldn't let me cook
because she said I mussed up the
kitchen so, and that | wasted food"

Why not have daughter help you

This makes an ideal Sunday morn

ing hot, in the morning without any
trouble. Any fish may be used,
either fresh or a salt mackerel. If
you intend using the mackerel place
the fish in a pan Of warm water and
soak overnight, with the skin side
up. In the morning place in a sauce
pan and parboil for five minutes.

Tell daughter that, while it may
be just little bit troublesome to
prepare watercress, it is very essen

green for breakfast. Watercress is
rich in iron and other mineral salts
that help to regulate and control the

Your 1919 Garden

There is no need for lot of expen-
sire tools for the cultivation of a small
garden. A spade or spading fork, a
hoe and a steel rake are the essential
garden tools. To these should be added
two wooden stakes and a strong string
to serve as a line for making straight
rows. A watering can and a trowel
are desirable but not necessary. Where
the garden work is to be carried on
rather extensively. it is good plan to
secure a combination seed drill and
wheel hoe, or simply the wheel hoe
alone.
