Ways to Serve Cabbage for
Several Meals, and Sug.
gestions About Celery.
Economy of Stock Pot
Housewife Who Has Home.
Canned Products Can
Supply Good Table at a
Moderate Cost
BY MRS. NJ. A. WILSON


All rights rcscruedJ
SEASONS play very important
part in arranging the menu.
Nature has given us a year-round
food supply. The month of JAN
uary gives US potatoes, turnips,
celery, carrots. cabbage, beets,
spinach, brussels sprouts, all of
which are very easily kept in the
cellar or a cool storeroom.
If the housewife has canned her
usual supply of summer vegetables
there should really be no trouble in
supplying an abundant diet at a
moderate cost.
Corn, peas, beans and lentils may
be turned into attractive dishes that
will replace meat. Fish, cheese,
milk and eggs, while proportion
ately high in price, should appear
regularly on the menu. 1t is poor
economy to purchase small amounts
of meat from day to day. A piece
sufficiently large enough to provide
the family with two or three days
meat supply will be found to save
not only in the purchasing price,
but also in the cost of fuel. Get
into the habit of taking your basket
and going to market. Plan your
entire weeks menu and then take
it with you to market after having
classified it into meat, butter, eggs,
vegetables, etc.
If you plan to have cabbage one
day, then arrange to purchase suf-
ficient cabbage to allow for making
coleslaw or cream cabbage for the
salad course for two or three days.
This will permit you to use the
center of the head to cut into fine
pieces and to cook the coarse part.
Or, if you plan to have the slaw,
purchase large head and use these
parts to serve as braised cabbage
as a vegetable. This is the time to
save all the tops of celery. Dry
them and then rub fine and put into
jars for future use, when it is
either high in price or out of season.

A Daily Fashion Talk BY Florence Rose

TN A season when gay colors are III
i great favor and when drcssmakers
venture with combinations of gay colors
they would never have hazarded be-
fore, it is AN interesting thing that one
or two of the most renowned of French
dressmakers are making quite serious
use of combinations Of two shades of
the same color
The coat here shown is one such gar
ment. Try to visualize it IL you can, for
1t is indeed charming. 1t is made of a
rich shade of blue velour de lane with
mosaic embroidery in a dull but by no
means dead blue. The color is produced
by three large tucks and is made of
two shades of blue faille ribbon.
This work of using two tones of the
same color is not the easiest thing in
the world. for it is only the person with
acute and well-trained color perception
who can select colors that form true
symphony. Nothing can be more clash
ing than two shades of the same color
when they are not well selected and to
the sensitive eye they swear at each
otEer--these badly selected combinations
of the same color--more than any con-
trasting color ever does.
This coat. by the way. is an excellent
type Of coat to select for between-seas sol
wear. II is warm and at the same time
light and it is suitable for day veal
and for all but the most elaborate eve
ming wear. II is made on ample lines
so that II can he easily put on. and the
amplitude of the sleeves make ii pos
sible to wear it over an ornate sleev,
arrangement without danger of mussn,
II.

argue that she has been instrumental
in the enactment of many labor re-
form measures which they charac-

that should she get the job labor

Miss Perkins has had an unusual

Yes, it's true and we cannot keep it
back any longer. The spring styles
are here. Hats of straw and satin
have appeared in every shop window
on the rel This rushing Of the
seasons is worse in the millinery trade
than in any other and the fault does
not lie with the buyer, but with the
manufacturer. The workers must be
kept busy and so the straw season is
pushed up close to the velvet eason
and the poor fashion followers must
pay the price. It will 500 be velvet
in July and straw in December.
Although it is bad for the purse,
the new spring styles are always
welcomed with open arms. It is so
much easier to wear a bright new
spring bonnet on a sunny day in late
winter ever if it is cold, than it
would be to brave the, late summers
