ONIONS AGAIN?

ONIONS AGAIN?
Onions, bless their hearts, are with us
all the year round in some form or other
but it is only in the spring that we get
this best wholesome of vegetables IN It's
most toothsome form. And really these
odoriferous vegetables should not be
despied. for all vegetables they arc the
most historic In fact, so far as we know
they were the first vegetable in cultivation.
The Romans ate them. so did the Greeks
and the Egyptians reveled in them. oniy
it was written that their priests shouio
not eat them, though whether tins was an
act of severe, disciplinary. self abneeaeloh
or simply done because the gods whom
they ministered todd not like the arorna
thereof, we cannot tell.
Now don't keep fresh raw onions from
your table Just because you feel that they
are too plebeian They form splendid
appetizer when served crisp and fresh,
and there is nothing more delicious To
the onion admirers, of course than onion
salad. OF course, we do not eat them with
vinegar and sugar In the provincial
manner. but in preparing onions Tor salad
II is nice 10 sprinkle the slices very lightly
with powdered sugar before marinating
them in olive oil They should then he
thoroughly chilled and spread on lettuce
leaves with French dressing made from the
olive oil already used, pepper, salt and a
sparing amount of vinegar.
Onion sandwiches are ''loptious." To
make them you should use brown bread
of the whole wheat or graham sort and
slice the onions amazingly thin. Do not
chop them or put them through the
grinder. As this really takes from their
crisp flavor.
When the tiny green onions appear,
try cooking and serving them as you
would asparagus Wash them well. tie
in bunches, drop in boiling salted water
and cook for ten minutes. This time al
lowance is for very young vegetables,
about the size of lead pencils. Drain,
place on toast and pour over them hot
cream sauce favored with chopped pars-
ley. These will be found delicious,
as they do not retain the onion flavor,
to which so many persons object. Young
onions are excellent in almost all spring
salads, and are especially good with fresh
tomatoes, cucumbcrs and green peppers.

OLD MADAM SPIDERS COMPLAINT

Old Madam Spider lived under the
caves in the attic, and while there were
many things TO speak of at night she seldom
spoke until one day after the housemald
had been in with broom and duster.,
That night when the midnight hour
came around, Madam Spider let her
self down from the far corner into which
she. had crept out of reach of the broom
and, swinging above the heads of china
dog and cat. she spoke.
"You both got good cleaning to
day, didn't you7" she asked.
Yes" replied the dog, "and | guess
