TASTE or SWIFT.

The idea that q little goes long way
perhaps is never better exempllfled than
Ia sweets Really a little sweet does go
a long way, and satisfies one as much as a
0tat deal of sweet A substantial dinner,
Tor instance, is better finished OFF with 9
small dessert than with large Ose. Two
pieces of fudge eaten after meal are for
better for one than half dozen pieces
munched during the course Of an evening.
A single spoonful of sugar in ones break
fast coffee gives the coffee better flavor
than three times rs much coffee poured
in until the coffee will dissolve no more,
and the sugar lies in the bottom of the
cup in sticky mass.
Some Of the candy shops in various
cities have recognized this idea Of little
sweet. They therefore sell small bags of
candy, each containing hardly more than
a taste of candy-four or five pieces, per-
haps. This they sell for ten cents bag.
1t is good candy, some OF 1t selling at
over a dollar pound. But there are only
few pieces, Just enough to top off ones
lunch satisfactorily.
And there is big city cafeteria which
is thronged with girls at lunch-time which
hes trays of candy st the pay desk as ono
goes out. These candies are sold for a
cent or two each, and one may buy one
or more. as one wishes The trays are
cleared and replenished often, too, for
this topping off meal with little sweet
is popular habit.
The candy stores mentioned cater to
both men and women, and it is noticeable
that many men buy the little bags of
candy. Perhaps this is partly due TO pro-
hibition. Certainly more soda waters and
gundaes are indulGed in now by men than
were a couple Of years ago and that must
be because Of prohibition.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

MENUS CONTAINING
DELICIOUS SOUPS

"I'm always glad when cold weather
comes again and can serve hot soups
for dinner said a young married friend
Of mine My husband always comes
home tired and hungry from work and a
good hot soup puts him in q good temper
right away"
The good housekeeper becomes an
dept at making soups Of all kinds She
also learns what kind Of soup TO serve
with q certain kind Of meal. For instance
she will not serve q heavy cream soup if
the dinner menu contains cream sauces /;
nor would she serve puree Of split peas if
canned peas (or green pess) are to be
served as q vegetable. She learns the fine
art Of avoiding repetition. The following
dinner menus illustrate this point:
Potato-Tomato Chowder.
Rump Roast of Beef
Rice CrOquettes Beets.
Coffee Steam Fruit Pudding.
