4 LMOST every woman likes Ia
~ entertain, and whether it is
more or less formal dinner
party or a simple four hands Of
bridge she wants to feel that the re-
freshments are above reproach and
the service is as nearly perfect rs it
can be.
Fortunately, hospitality Of the
present day is not the ordeal that 1t
formerly was, for even company
dinners" of more than Ave or six
courses are rarely served, and even
an afternoon tea or reception will
include only one hot dish or salad,
. variety Of dainty sandwiches,
punch or a frozen dainty and hot
beverages.
For the evening supper party the
hostess has a wider choice, and Il
enly few guests are present one
special hot course generally in the
ehafing dish), celery, coffee, rolls
and simple dessert will be in the
best possible taste, although q sim
PIE salad may be added if desired.
For a bridge party of twelve the
guests usually go to the dining
room, where the refreshments are

Unique Shades and Curtains
lndiVidualize the House

gloomy house with somber curtains
and dark wcll-like interior your
spirits go down below par as YOU
unconsciously think of the doleful
people who must live there. On the
other hand, when you see through
sheer curtains and under attractive
shades suggestions of warmly
blending colors that betoken a
happy atmosphere, you are instinc-
lively drawn to the house and it's
occupants.
Men and women interested in
household decoration are Just be-
ginning to realize the possibilities of
window shades. The shades of
glazed chintz, imported from Eng
land, are increasingly popular. The
material seems at first consideration
to be rather expensive-being priced
from $3.50 to $3.50 yard-but
when one considers that these gav
shades may supply the touch OF
color needed, and perhaps by virtue
OF this feature make Unnecessary

tage Of being made in beautiful

Chocolate Soume
THE idea Of a chocolate souff1e

TINE Idea OF q chocolate sOuff1e
is not new, but this we offer
as good one, but not too
Ich, as chocolate puddings are apt
So be. When served with sweet
ened and favored whipped cream it
reminds one Of the choice bitter
chocolates. To spread a layer Of
apricot puree on the souff1e before
topping it with cream would furnish
the touch of acid that combines 80
we'll with the richness of the choco-
hate. Or to serve with an orange
sauce would be another way Of ac-
eomplishing this.
The cost without the cream would
be about 40 cents and the amount
would serve four.

either half or wholly grown to
- feed and keep good-natured
you have probably discovered the
close connection that exists between
a satisfied appetite and a contented
mind. That may be a trite observa-
ton, but it is everlastingly true,
Good nature is not altogether a
quality Of soul; it is also a matter
Of physical processes. and it be-
hooves US to keep our boys well and
pleasantly nourished if we would
have them amiablel There is much
satisfaction to ourselves also in so
doing. Applause is sweet. Every
man is immensely proud Of his
wife's good cooking and holds it up
as Q shining virtue. Who knows
what secret judicial weighing goes
on in the masculine mind or how
often It is that, against whatever
failings they may think we have, is
placed the final judgment-'sbut she
sure knows how to cook"
1t has been my privilege or fate
to cook for boys Of all ages for many
years. There follow a few of the
dishes that have been their special
favorites, and which, do not doubt,
have tempered many a criticism and
helped them all to love me moro
Potato Bargain
Four slices Of bacon, six onions.
three medium-sized carrots, eight
potatoes, salt and pepper, chopped
parsley.
Chop the bacon and put into ket-
tie to fry out Then add the onions
and cook for five minutes. Add one
quart of boiling water and the car
rots, cut into pieces if too large to
cook whole. Season with salt and
pepper. Boil till the carrots are
half done. Then add the potatoes
sliced thick and cook till all are
done. Sprinkle chopped parsley
over the top.
Veal Loaf
Order from the butcher one pound
OF veal, one-quarter pound beef and
one-quarter pound salt pork, all
chopped together. Break up two
crackers and soak for q few minutes
IN enough milk to cover.
Add to the chopped meat three
large tablespoonfuls stewed tomatoes.
one onion cut fine, salt, pepper and
the soaked crackers. Mix these in
gradients thoroughly. Pack into
pan about the size Of small bread
pan and round the top little to
give 1t a good shape. Lard with
thin slices Of che suet which the
butcher generally gives with the
order. Bake for ono hour in n
medium oven.
English Monkey
Heat one cupful Of milk. Add ono
cupful Of bread crumbs and three
quarters Of a cupful Of grated or
crumbled cheese. Simmer slowly. Pro
pare toasted bread or crackers. Stir
one beaten egg into the monkey Just
before taking from tho fire and
spread tho mixture on the toast.
Salt. pepper.
Meat Turnover
Chop any cold meat rather fine.
Mix with q slice or two OF bread
soaked In gravy, If you have. It, or
milk. Add ono minced onion and =
little chopped celery. Season rather
highly, using salt, pepper and a
little ketchup OF worcestershire
sauce. Roll out = square Of pie

by turning them in. Prick the TOP

less bread may be used, depending
upon the quantity Of meat left over

for the family.

Lightly butter two slices Of bread
and lay a thin slice Of ham on ona
OF them, with sprinkle of pepper.
Put a bit Of butter into pan. WheH

pan until it is about the size of the
slice Of bread. Cook On both sides
and salt. Lay it, smoking hot. upon
the ham, and cover at once with the
other slice to hold in the heat. The
egg warns the ham and steams the
bread, resulting IL most delicious
bite,
Fruit Slump
Almost any kind Of fruit may b.
used for this except pears-peachsA
apples, blackberries, huckleberries
and crarberries being especially
fine. Stew the fruit with little
water and sugar to sweeten until
tender. Then lay over the top small
thick squares Of buttered bread.
Cover tightly and let simmer until
the bread is we'll steamed Lay the
bread on dish and cover with the
fruit. Be careful not to have toe

Price conditions in the >housefur-
nishings industry is to be the sub
ject Of an investigation by the Fed
eral Trade Commission. The, Senate
late yesterday directed the investiga-
'tion when it passed a res Sution in
troduced by Senator Kenyon of Iowa.
Debate which preceded it's adoption
was characterized by a general at
tack on profiteers. trusts and combi-
nations in restraint of trade and
scattering assaults on the Federal
Trade Commission. The latter was
defended, however. by several sena-
tors. who contended that it could never
be "a popular" government agency be-
cause of the nature of it's work.
An attempt was made by Senator
Helm. democrat. Alabama, to amend
the resolution to include the opera
tions of the Chicago Grain Exchange
and New York and New Orleans cot
ten exchanges, but this was with
drawn when Senator WadSworth,
republican. New York. announced he
would block the resolution if the
amendment was passed. He objected.
he said, to another investigation
before the print in the report of an
inquiry of the same kind had got

Questioned ON PrOvisiOns.
David f. Langley, president of the
Retired Police and Firemen'S Asso-
citation. was questioned by the. sub
committee. especially by Representa-
tive Woodruff. regarding the provi.
sions of the retirement law. Repre-
sentative Zihlman read the law into
the record. Mr. Langley has been re-
tired after twenty-nine and one-hali
years of service. having entered the
service when he was thirty five. Rep
resentative Woodruff said that in his
opinion the Zihlman bill takes good
care of the situation that has arisen
by which the older retired men are
done an unintentional injustice since
they were retired at one-half of their
then salary while younger men are
being retired on the same percentage
Of increased salary which has since
been granted.
Robert l.. DespeauX. who is only
forty-two years old, and who was re-
tired from the fire department for dis
ability suffered in the line of duty

would be gradually reduced as the
older retired men died.
i Walter MITCHELL who said he had
personal and professional acquaint-
ance with these veteran retired police
and tiremen, spoke in support OF the
bill.
George Boyd, formerly in the police
department for thirty-two years. vino
said that he had been more than TWEEN
