WAYS WITH SALADS IN SPRING.

IL is nothing new To say that salads arc
more welcome in spring than almost any
other form OF food. There is something
appetizing about crisp lettuce or other
salad greens that no other dish presents
Now it happens that spring is rather
difficult time TO prepare the sort of salads
that we especially crave. Hothouse
tomatoes are too expensive for most OF
us-yet is there anything more spring
hke-unlcss it is the first robin hopping
on the greening Iawn--more springlike
than tomatoes in spring. And so it is with
other fresh egctablcs-asparagus green
peas and new onions. They are as yet
little expensive for ordinary folk.
Still there are many good salads that
tempt the appetite and appeal, az well
to the eye. And that is an important
point-that the spring salad should
appeal to the eve. The eye affects the
appetite, and the daintily prepared salad
OF fresh things is certainly tempting to
the eve.
Fruit, Of course, makes a good spring
salad, and oranges and grapefruit can be
concocted into all sorts of delicious
spring salads. They are no more. cxpcn-
sive than they have been throughout the
winter A little banana may be mixed
in with the grapefruit, too, TO decrease
its expense and to give bland flavor To
the plquant taste of the grapefruit.
Then canned fruits may be used to
make good salads One s formed of canned
pears. On each lettuce bed is placed half
"a canned pear, in the cavity Of which is
put n small ball of cream cheese. This
salad is completed with teaspoonful
of mayonnaise dressing placed in tiny
cup of lettuce on the side Of the place
Canned peaches may be used in the same
way.
A little asparagus NAV be made 10 80 n
long way in salad. Cook it carefully, then
cut it in neat lengths, discarding the
tough ends. Save the tips. Place a little
pile Of the lengths in cup-shapcd leaf
of lettuce, and add good spoonfuI Of
mayonnaise. Then earnish each plateful
with . few of the tips.
II the lettuce is tough. cut il with
scissors into long strips Always have it
crisp and cold and dry IL thoroughly.

| of having spotted dresses rs there were
other flowers growing about with yellow
ones and they wished very much TO be a
little different.
So they told the Goblins they would
hide them and those little fellows flew
home for their paint pots and soon had
the yellow flowers in spotted dresses.
When they were finished the Goblins
hid their pots and stepped inside the
blossoms and were quite covered with the
petals
Then they waited until the Fairies came
out tn dance. and when they werc gayly
dancing about those little Goblins sudden

and jumped about until the Fairies
thought some dreadful danger WAS upon
them, for they had put their wands under
a bush and could not protect themselves.
Right in the midst of this along came
the Queen IN her little carriage, and when
the naughty Goblins saw her they quickly
ran away.
When the Fairies told their Queen
where the Goblins had hidden she looked
at the flower for q long time before she

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. kirkman-
THE SELECTION OF
SUPERINTENDENT

II is an expensive mistake TO buy
anything but the best equipment for
the kitchen Certain articles represent q
larger investment than others, but In
any case the better the grade selected,
the longer will be the term of years over
which IT may be used.
Money invested IN good labor-sav-
ing devices pays interest in two ways--thc
housekeeper's time and the housckeeper's :
strength, both Of which represent money.
We may not realize this until a lack OF
one or the other Of these two things makes
il necessary to employ home assistance at
n fixed rate per hour, or TO employ a
doctor ut fixed rate per call-or both
for an indefinite length of time.
Before an article is purchased, a
housemaker should ask herself this
question: 'ls this good Investment
A good investment is one that not only
saves labor when 1T IS used, but ~ used
often enough to Justify iiself.
A friend once showed me a wonderful
nut cracker that had grown rusty and
dusty from disuse II ought il in a weak
moment" she said. at cracked nuts so
easily and the meats came out almost
whole-but we didn't need il. Nuts don t
agree with the children and Tom and |
don't care for them very much. | use it
about once n year, at Christmas time. IT'S
n splendid thing for n confeetioner, but
not for family like ours. | often wish
had my two dollars baokr' The nut
cracker had proved to he a non-irrterest
paying investment.
We must avoid overlooking our
kitchen work tables and cabinets with
equipment of this kind that means not
e E.,y 1
waste of time and nerve force expended
if it is allowed to remain among more use
full articles When one has made an un-
wise purchase the best thing to- do
after n fair trial is TO get rid of the ar
ticle II is better TO throw it away than
to keep it in the way.
The kitchen-supply departments Of
large stores are great temptation to
some women. Dozens of novelties of all
kinds are shown, cheap enough in actual
cost, but dear when regarded as invest
ments
The larger and more expensive equip
ment should never be bought without
careful thought and study. Many manu-
facturers have demonstrations IN the
large stores TO explain the construction
and use of their articles; in this way, the
would-be purchaser Is enabled 90 test the
appliance herself, and If she is wise she
will also test articles OF different makes
before making her final decision.
The arrangement of tho difficult parts
IF a piece Of equipment will often make
vast difference. For instance a bread
mixing machine with the handle at the
bop might suit one woman admirably.

could use efficiently

Once there grew a wild flower in shady
place. Ii WAS pretty orange-ycllow
blossom. 1t belonged to the jewel-weed
family. No one noticed this flower until
the Goblins one night used it to hide in
that they might pounce upon the Fairies
when they came out after dark to frolic.
The Goblins were always bothering the
little Fairies and the Queen had taken
such care to protect her subjects that tho
Gohlins had not played any pranks upon
them in n long time.
But this night the Goblins thought of
a plan to scare the little Fairies and out
wit the Fairy Queen.
They came out of the rocks Just before
dark and ran to all the yellow wild flowers
growing around and asked them how they
would like to have some yellow spots
printed on their yellow dresses.
you will be very different then from
all the other wild flowers" said the tricky
little Goblins, "and we will do it for you,
il you will let us get inside and hide for a
little while"
The yellow blossoms did not think of
asking why they wished to hide, for they
were too much taken up with the thought
