HERE ARE SOME DISHES THAT
NURSERY FOLK LOVE.

Nursery folk are quite as devoted
to their favorite dishes as we grown
persons are to ours. and are quite as
critical Of proper cooking and service.
The home example is, of course, the
standard of judgment Mothers should
look well to this class of cookery if
they wish to retain their laurels.
Simple foods. well cooked and deli
cately seasoned, find greatest favor.
Underdone. overdone and highly ga
soned foods have no part in nursery
cookery. Soups, carefully selected fish
dishes. poultry, lamb and beef. simple
salads, we'll cooked vegetables and
light, attractive desserts are the main
features of the simple menus.
Beef, chicken, vegetable and cereal
soups offer pleasing variety. and
they should be served in turn to avoid
sameness and the danger of too-great
fondness for any one kind.
It is always difficult to induce chill
dren to eat fish. but sometimes a lit
tie fresh boiled Goldfish flaked with
boiled potatoes and dressed with good
drawn butter tempts them. Again.
carefully made fishcakes, with more
potato than fish in them. which have
been quickly fried in little butter.
are liked Creamed fish lightly brown
ed in ramekins is another dish which
sometimes wins favor.
Chiliren almost all like broiled
chicken served with mashed potatoes
and peas, creamed celery, or, on occa-
sion. creamed. silver skinned onions
Chicken fricassee with very light dump
lings makes a change which is usually
enjoyed 1t is we'll to remember that
children under eight eat rather lightly
at one sitting. That is why it often
happens that they get hungry between
meals.
Portions of roasts, lamb or beef are
generally served from the family table.
The day has passed when children were
made to eat things they disliked. Mod
ern mothers feel that children are en-
titled to their little likes and dislikes
as we'll as their elders, and modern
doctors agree that food eaten though
disliked injuries rather than aids the
| child's well-being.
| Most children will eat without pro-
test carefully stewed fruit with or
| without cream. fresh fruits cut up with
sugar. apple sauce and the simple pud-
| dings if they are attractively made for
| dessert. Home made layer cakes with
simple Filings, warm gingerbread with
| a sauce, Spanish or Bavarian cream,
which is nourishing and wholesome,
| cookies, date or fig cakes, pound,
sponge. raisin and spice cakes are fav-
orites with children.
| Home made ice creams are usually
dearly loved, and are generally consid-
cred wholesome.
The eating of salads is encouraged
| by modern dieticians, and children
usually like them. especially fruit sal
ed with boiled dressing. On the crisp
i leaves of fresh lettuce dressing made
Of teaspoonful Of lemon juice, two
teaspoonfuls of olive oil and quarter
Of saltspoonful of salt is satisfac-
| tory.
The question Of between meal eating
is one which inspires argument for and
against. but should it be allowed, make
the food simple, nourishing and moder-
ate in quantity. Rye e-hread sandwiches
spread with cream cheese and a little
grated pineapple or with minced chick
en- carefully seasoned, with chopped
stewed prunes moistened with bit OF
cream, peanut butter, jam. jelly. or
honey are all good and generally liked
