LOBBY Lobster

The oysters were most respect
full to the Twins when they noticed
their shining badges, for they rec
ognized the badges as the same kind
that Cap'n Pennywinkle wore. And
everyone in the sea. from the wal

was respectful to the fairyman po-
liceman.
'.Yes," said one of them, opening
his shell wide and looking as po-

Editorials For
Women Folks

She was older than the others.
She arrived on the scene before
things were quite so prosperous.
There hadn't been a maid then,
but there had been a family, quite a
family, so since Nell was the oldest,
she learned to darn and to wash
dishes and to cook and take care of
babies; none of which hurt her, of
course.
It's a nice thing for a girl to
know about those things. But Nell
was given too much! Sometimes she
didn't get to school because the chill
dren needed care. Sometimes when
she did get there she had done so
many things before going that she
couldn't think in terms of arithmetic,
geography, English and so on
She did manage to get through
high school. But she never gave
even as much as a thought to col
lege. She knew she couldn't go. 1t
was too costly and, having just
slipped through high school by the
skin of her teeth, she knew trying
to work her way through college
would be useless. She hadn't q good
enough foundation.
Anyhow the younger children
were becoming more expensive every
day and any money that She might
earn was needed.
So Nell went to work and every
Saturday her money was turned
over to her mother to help with the
general expenses.
Meantime Fanny came along.
Fanny had been just enough young
err to escape the burden. Couldn
trust the little folk with her. So
Fanny went to school regularly
without a thought of responsibilities.
She was considered bright. BY the
time she finished high school the
family income had increased SO nor
NAL school was a possibility. So
Fanny went to normal school and
finally married a professor.
Emily, the next sister, went to
college and married a physician.
Edith, whom it was possible to
send to an exclusive finishing school,
married a fnancier.
And then they all rested on their
oars and smiled with a sort of self
satisfaction.
While Fanny continued working,

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Squash is peculiarly an autumn
vegetable. 1t ripens late in the sea-
son and will keep for several months
in a dry cool place. A good winter
squash should have a very hard shell
and be heavy in proportion to its
size. AS squash is a starchy vege-
table the remainder of a meal in
Guiding squash should De scanty in
starch.
The simplest way and perhaps the
most satisfactory is to bake squash.
If a squash is a bit watery baking
is the only thing to do. If very dry,
crack the shell. cut in pieces con-
venient to handle, remove shell and
seeds and cut in dices. Put in stew
pan. pour over boiling water to owe
and boil until tender. Drain and
mash and season with salt and pep
per and butter.
To bake squash cut in halves. Re-
move seeds and bake about an hour
in a moderate oven. Remove from
pepper and butter.
Squash makes quite as good pies
as pumpkin. Bake it or boil it and
rub through a colander.
Squash Pie
One cup cooked and sifted squash
Is cup sugar, "a cups milk, 1 table,
spoon melted butter. 1 egg. u tea
spoon salt. a teaspoon ginger, 1 tea
spoon lemon juice.
Mix sugar. salt, ginger and lemon
juice with squash. Add melted but
ter and egg slightly beaten. Stir in
milk slowly. Pour into a pie pan
lined with pastry and bake in a slow
oven after the first five minutes. The
oven should be hot when the pie is
put in in order to bake the crust.
Scalloped Squash
Two cups squash, l cup cracker
crumbs, 2 tablespoons butter, salt
and pepper, 1 egg (optional), milk.
This is good If the squash is in
clined to be watery.
Boil or bake the squash and rub
through a sieve. Mix with crumbs,
butter. salt and pepper and peat we'll.
If necessary add milk to make moist.
Add egg and beat till light. Turn
into a battered baking dish and bake
twenty minutes in a hot ven A
little grated cheese sprinkled over
the top adds much to the dish.

Two cups sifted and cooked squash
Y cup nuts, 1 tablespoon butter,
