Dear Mrs. Wilson-Recently II be-
csme necessary for US to have n
trained nurse in the house TO care for
one of the family. and l am sorry to
say that the patient kept the
nurse so busy attending to her that
the nurse was unable to prepare the
foods needed.
1t certainly would have spared us
additional expense IL W. could have
prepared this food ourselves. VIII
you kindly tell how to prepare food
| for the invalid, such as toast, coffee.
steak, cereals. beef broths. oranges.
and all those things Thanking you
in advance I am NJ. +. s.
Just now 1t seems out of date to
| furnish articles on diet cooking. So
many classes were formed for this
work during tho late war that one
had the impression that most people
could, in an emergency, furnish suita-
BILE food for both tho patient and the
nurse.
Toast.
Cut slices of bread one inch thick.
and then trim free from the crust.
Toast to a delicate brown. This means
constant watching and care. Now cut
the toast into inch-wide strips and II
desired to serve as milk toast. cut into

with scalding hot milk.
To D a cup of coffee for the
invalid. Place a china pitcher In a
saucepan and fill with cold water.
Heat until scalding hot. Boil water
in n kettle and then drain the water
from the pitcher and wipe dry. Place
a piece of cheeseeloth over top or
the pitcher and push into the pitcher,
thus making O well. Tie
- 49, tn - tho ntfRhhf pace
the finely ground coffee in this well
and then pour on the required mount
of water. Cover closely and return
to the saucepan and keep at the
boiling point for three minutes.
This method doe not extract the
Objectionable acids from the conee.
Preparing Steak For the lnVanu
Use the tenderloin or n slrloln OF
beef. Remove the fat and then put
meat through the food chopper TO
mince very fine. Form into outlet
shape and place In a baking dish.
Brush with melted butter n place
in the broiler for five minutes. Now
in n hot oven for seven mlnutes
and basic with
one tablespoon of melted butter,
One tablespoon of water.
One-half teaspoon of lemon juice.
Servo on toast with spinach or
creamed celery.
Cereal.
Cooking cereal for the invalid re-
duires careful attention. The double
boiler or nreless cooker is the logical
solution of this problem. Starchy
products need slow. moist cooking In
order to dexterize the starchy conten,.
Place in a double boiler or saucepan
c~ontainer of the freless cooker.
Two cups of boiling water,
One-half cup of cereal,
stir to prevent Jumping and COOK
slowly until thick. Place on the back
OF the stove or IN the freless cooker
three and one-half hours.
Cereals are best served for invalids
in the form Of a broth. To prepare the
cereal broth, rub one cup of we'll
cooked cereal through a fine sieve
and add
Two cups OF milk.
One-quarter teaspoon OF salt,
One-duarter teaspoon nutmeg,
One tablespoon of sugar.

The Girl Who Smiled Thru
By MARION RUBINCAM

to go out alone in the evening. She
stood on the steps of the big central
library, where she could see the twi-
light settling yer the houses n the
lights twinkling out. They were so
enormous, these houses, larger than
the college dormitories; they held a
hundred or more families apiece
each one a little village in itself.
What an enormous place this
metropolis wasl She y knew not a
soul In it-she would in time, but
tonight she was lonely again. Sud
denly she remembered-Lois had
lived here, Lois had come back here.
David had followed her here.
New York had been to her only q
name. 1t was a gigantic place from
which came many things. Magazines
were printed here, books bore the
name on the front page. new fashions
came from it, plays were produced
here. regulations made-and unmade
here. But 1t had been distant and
impersonal-a name.
Now, as she looked over the ex-
panse of shadowy buildings and
twinkling lights, she realized she was
part of this-and that, perhaps in
some part of this vastness, David was
living-David and the girl who had
stolen him away from her. 1t made
him, suddenly. very near to her.
She hurried to her room in the
dormitory. There was a light burn
ing inside as she pushed open the
door.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
SCORES BIG "HIT'

Husbands on Approval which
was given by the Dramatic Club of
the local high school turned out after
all not to be husbands on approval
but a wife on approval.
The play itself was clever. the lines
were snappy and the acting on the
whole was we'll done. Stellar houors
are shared among the girls between
Miss Ada Wilentz in the title role and
Miss Eta Skillen in the role OF Irish
maid. Miss Wilentz had a very diff
cult part to render. The need of
many different changes In attitude
and her rendition exemplihed a COM
prehensive study of the situation.
Miss Sliillen in the part of h irish
maid brought out the brusque Irish
humor of her lines in a most COM
mendable n
Among the boys the stellar honors
were divided between Joseph Grein-
er, Harold Hansen and Moe Splitter.
Mr.. Greiner in the part of the broth
er carried off his part with perfect
ease, his delivery was excellent as he
could be heard in IN part of the
auditorium. On the shoulders OF Mr..
Splitter was the humorous success or
the play. Upon his entrance in the
third act and the putting across oil
his lines depended the success of the
climax of the play. From the MIN
ute Mr.. Splitter entered he carried
his audience with him and laugh af-
ter laugh from the house compelled
the actors to pause in their delivery.
Mr.. Hansen in the part of the nero
looked the part, acted the part, ana
