Nowadays when all meat is so
exorbitant in price no family
can afford to waste single ounce.
Sometimes only small pieces
near the bone are left from the
roast, or bit of steak may es-
cape the family appetite-but IT
must be used. 1t sometimes pays
to buy a little more meat than is
required for a single meal, cooking
ing part for combination with
bread. vegetables or cereal to
make an inexpensive but nourish-
ing dish the second day.
One way to use cold, leftover
meat is in rissoles.

through a food chopper with one
medium sized onion added. To the

the nourishment and the minerals
contained in vegetables.
Here are excellent ways to serve
vegetables cold, or to utilize the
cold cooked vegetables left over

Cook fresh green peas and rub
them through a colander. Season
the pulp with salt, pepper and onion

very little water. Add . tablespoon

chill in cups. having l slice of hard
boiled egg in the bottom OF each
cup. Serve with cream mayonnaise
and parsley garnish.

lengths. Add 3 tablespoonfuls of
chopped onion and chopped to-
matoes, and serve with chopped
parsley and rGayonnaise dressing,
with garnish OF round radishes.
CauIifiower and Tomatoes.
Wash and scoop the centers from
as many large tomatoes as there
are persons to be served. Steam un-
til tender a head of caulifower and

SENATE LADIES
HAVE PICNIC.

The ladies of the Senate gave
picnic luncheon yesterday in their
Red Cross workrooms ct the Senate
ONCE building, when the wives OF
the new Senators were the guests OF
honor. This Organization, of which
Mrs. Thomas R Marshall is presi-
dent. is continuing its meetings each
Friday afternoon, when the mem
bers spend several hours in just
having a sociable chatting, while
they sew or knit. During the war
this was one of the most perfectly
organized groups of women engaged
in war relief work. and it Is likely
that they will now devote their en-
ergies to making garments for the
poor. Aside from the work accom-
plished at these meetings, they give
the Senatorial ladies an opportunity
to get together and know each other
better. With the advent of the wives
or the new Senators there is Il
charming reason for continuing the
organization, for, as one Senator's
wife very naiyely put 1t, they are
trying to make the Republican
ladies more democratic.
Each member takes her lunch
with her, which is really the very
simplest imag nabIe. consisting OF
sandwiches, cake and fruit. but
dainty and appetizing to a degree.
