cient amount of cold cooked meat or
fish through the food chopper to
measure three-quarters cup and
One large onion,
Four branches of parsley.
Place the mixture in a bowl and
add
One teaspoon Of salt,
One teaspoon of pdprtkd,
One cup of cream sauce,
made as directed in the method, then
the finely chopped meat and one tea
spoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix
thoroughly and then set aside to
mold. Form into croquettes and roll
in -four, dip in beaten egg and then
roll in fine bread crumbs. Fry in
hot fat.
Cold beef, lamb, chicken, veal, ham
or crab meat or fish may be used for
this delectable method of serving an
entree. Nuts, eggs, cheese, both
cottage or pot and store cheese, may
be used. Dried peas, lima beans,
navy and soy beans as well as COW
peas and lentils will afford a splendid
variety to the thrifty housewife who
must provide cheap protein dishes.
The difference between a croquette
and outlet is just in the shape.
Croquettes are shaped either in the
cylindrical or conical forms and cut
let's in fiat, either round, triangle or
chop shape.
To prepare the egg for dipping
add four tablespoons of evaporated
milk and beat hard to thoroughly
blend, place croquette or outlet on
wire spoon and use tablespoon to
pour the beaten egg over the cro-
quette.
To prepare the crumbs dry ali
pieces of stale bread thoroughly. No
bit is too small, a crust or even the
crumbs left from cutting the bread.
Put the well-dried bread through
the food chopper and then sift
through the colander; either put the
coarse crumbs through the food
chopper a second time or keep them
for au gratin dishes.
Always serve either a cream or
tomato sauce with croquettes and
outlets, and garnish them with pars-
ley or cress.

TO SAY YOU ARE BORED
IS AN UNWISE ADMISSION
Practical Confession That Person Is PooerIess Enjoy
Life Without Puppet Sho,o Going On

THERE is a story told about the man
l. who wasn't having the jolliest kind
Of time in the world at party and
therefore wandered off into his hosts
smoking den. He found another rather
listless looking individual there and
opened a conversation.
"Frightfully fiat, isn't it," he said,
yes" agreed the other.
"Let's sneak off and go home" sug
gested the wanderer. 81 can't" came
back the other. "I live here
1t was funny of course, and it really
might have been you, or it might have
been I who made the break, but that
doesn't excuse the man nor does it
excuse us. We are all too prone to
criticize the entertainment and hospi-
tality received at the hands of another.
If we think well enough of an invita-
ton to accept it then we ought to be
sportsmanlike enough to play a good
losing as well as a winning game il
the evening happens to turn out that
way.
A party is really, after all, only
what we make of it. If we sit In
the corner and twiddle our thumbs ex-
pecting to be amused and elaborutely
entertained then it is more than likely
we will begin to search for a clock
before the refreshments and go home
Immediately after them, declaring it
was too dull for anything.
But if we make up our minds to have
a good time in spite of everything
ah, that is a different matter. That
is where the joy of living comes in!

Soap Solution

Soap solution makes suds more
quickly than soap in the cake; it cleans.
more evenly and with less wear to the
material than soap rubbed on. Make
up a quantity for use as needed. Use

Dissolve one cake white soap or two

three quarts of hot water. For blan-
kets add two tablespoons borax and
quarter cup ammonia.

If you can get but one expensive gar

T HAD not seen Dorothea at all yes
4 terday and when we met today she
greeted me with her rare smile. You
should have been here yesterday she
said. MAN brought us in book, and
| have been thinking about it and laugh
ing over it ever since. 1t was red
letter day" Of course, I wanted to
know all about it. 1t appears that it
was written by friend of Sir James
Barrie when she was but nine years
old. He happened to read it and per-
suaded her to let him publish it. Bar
rie himself has written the delightful
introduction to it, and it has been
printed with all the funny childish
spelling and queer expressions. You
will like it and will want to have a
copy for your own library, just as
Dorothea and l have. You can buy it
for 81.
7 was amazed to find that they still
have the lovely kid gloves at the same
remarkable price of $1.65. I thought,
of course, that they would no longer
be on sale. And so when I passed them
today I decided to tell you about them
right away, since | felt sure that some
of you had not inquired about them
when I wrote of them before. They
are soft kid, of excellent quality and
rather heavy. The time to get your fall
gloves is right now when you can take
advantage of this remarkable sale.

LEFTOVER meats and vegetables
~ may be turned into palatable
food with just a little time and
energy. The basis of all croquettes
should be good thick molding sauce
that will give a product that is
creamy and delicious to taste.
Owing to the fact that croquettes
and outlets are usually fried in hot
fat, it is not necessary to add either
shortening or butter to the cream
sauce.
The true secret of good croquettes
or outlets is to have the mixture
rich and creamy. Mold into cro-
quettes and then dip in flour, then in
the egg mixture and finally roll in
fine crumbs. Now fry until golden
brown in hot fat.
How to make the foundation:
Place in saucepan
One cup of milk,
Sic leveL tablespoons of -four.
Stir to dissolve the flour and then
bring to a boil. Cook slowly for five
minutes and then add the flavoring
and seasoning. Set aside to cool
and then mold. Form into cro-
quettes, roll in -four, dip in beaten
egg and then roll in fine bread
crumbs and fry until golden brown
in hot fat.
Cheese Croquettes
Prepare the sauce as given above
and add
One tablespoon Of grated onion,
One teaspoon of salt,
One teaspoon of paprika,
One-half cup of grated cheese,
Ttco tablespoons of finely minced
parsley.
Mix thoroughly and then turn on
q large platter and set in a cool place
FOR four hours to mold into shape.
Roll in -four, dip in beaten egg and
then in fine bread crumbs, and fry
until golden brown in hot fat.
Nut and Pepper Croquettes
TDo green peppers,
TtUo n,ediunt-sized onions.
Mince very fine and then parboil
and drain. Turn on a cloth and pat
dry. Place in a bowl and add
One cup of cream sauce, made as
giuen IN the method,
One-half cup of finely chopped
nuts,
One teaspoon Of salt,
One teaspoon of paprikd,
Three tablespoons of grated
cheese.
Mix thoroughly and then pour on
a large platter and allow to cool,
then finish as directed for cheese
croquettes.
Egg Croquettes
Prepare sauce as directed in the
method and then add
Two hard-boiled eggs, rubbed
through a sieve,
One teaspoon of salt,
One teaspoon of paprika,
One tablespoon Of grated egg.
Mix and then turn on large plat
ter to mold and finish as directed
for cheese croquettes.
Lima Bean Croquettes
Wash and soak overnight three
quarters cup of baby lima beans. In
the morning parboil until tender and
then drain until very dry. Now put
One green pepper,
TWo nedtunt-sized onions,
Four pieces of bacon
through food chopper. Place in
pan and cook until the onions and
peppers are soft. Drain free from
fat and then put the beans through
the food chopper and add
The prepared peppers and onions
and bacon,
One teaspoon Of salt,
One teaspoon of papriku,
Tt0o tablespoons Of finely minced
parsley,
One teaspoon Of Worcestershire
sauce.
Mix thoroughly and then mold
into croquettes and dip in -four, then
