Shredded Lettuce.

The large outer leaves OF lettuce
are really good to eat if they are
properly washed, but they are usually
ragged and unsightly. so that it seems
TO a. dainty cook impossible to serve
them at the table. They may. OF
course. be put aside for soup. but
there is also a satisfactory way Of
serving them i'm salad. 1t is really
extravagant to buy either head or
nearly half of it.
Wash these big leaves carefully and
cut out wilted or discolored portions.
Scissors are necessary 1t is impos-
sible to cut lettuce properly with a
knife. Drain these prepared leaves
or dry them lightly in a clean towel
and cut them with the scissors into
thin. short strips. taking four or five
leaves at time. Lettuce shredded In
this way may be arranged on indi-
vfdual salad plates or in the salad
bowl. 1t looks very pretty either
way. Mayonnaise may be passed with
1t or a very good salad may be made
by putting French dressing on the
shredded lettuce and mixing it thor
oughly just before it is served 1t
must not stand on the lettuce at all,
but be served cold and Immediately.
On base of shredded lettuce.
chopped onions, cabbage, celery. nuts
olives or, hard boiled eggs may be
served very daintily. Cream cheese
in little balls rolled in chopped nuts
or cracker crumbs also goes well with
IL. IL the lettuce is nicely shredded
handled and served daintily, it is al
most as attractive as the hearts, and
1t is very conveniently eaten. An
other advantage lis that any salad
dressing can be well mixed with
shredded lettuce so that the flavor is
perfectly distributed.

7NHE gorgeous hall attendant In
the Park avenue apartment
house in which Mr.. Slocum
had recently acquired very
smart town quarters stared disap-
provingly at rollicking party which
romped In to call upon Mr.. slocum
late one Saturday afternoon.
They were unimpressed by the
fcathedral-like grandeur Of those mar
BILE halls. There were four juniors
from Yale, with two trigly frocked
girls. and. tagging a bit behind the
rest. a little bronze haired matron.
who did not look in the least ma :
tronly, whose heart was beating bit
more rapidly than normal.
For Mrs. John Munro Lindsay.
needless as she might be about most
things, knew perfectly well that Mr..
Richard Slocum was the one man In
the world her careful husband would
not like to have her call upon, no
matter how numerous the escort:
Yet, short of making herself ridicu-
have evaded the thing. For Jerry and
Hal Blaisdell, seif-centered young
cubs, did not remotely suspect that
less than three years before the
youthful hpdsays had almost sepa-
rated because John had righteously
objected to this same Richard Slo-
Gums devotion to Merriam.
For more than two years Merriam
had been dreadinE the time when
Richard should come back to New
York to live. For. of course. he could
not keep on travelling forever. She
had seen him just once during his
brief visit two years before, when he
had returned from the orient to bring
back Merriam's father. who had been
seriously injured In q railway acci-
dent. 1t had been Richards way Of
atoning for the misery that his love
caused her. Merriam knew that she
would never cease to be grateful to
him for the tactful. almost casual
way in which he had behaved on that
delicate occasion.
John. too, had been a dear. behav-
ing with magnaaimous generosity,
tacitly agreeing to let bygones be by
cones. He could well afford to be.
For Merriam had been a semi-invalid
then. happy prisoner at her own
tremendous joke that so tiny q per-
son as she was actually the mother OF
husky. wee twins.
But she. had an uncomfortable feel
ing on this vivid spring day that
Johns attitude might not stay mag.
home to stay. She was afraid that in
the depths of Johns heart bitter feel
ings might still rankle.
So she stood in the vaulted hallway
all but praying that the attendant
would announce mot at home Which
he did. But no sooner had Jerry
marshaled his company toward the
door than Richards familiar figure
blocked their way.
"Rich. ole thing" showled Hal and
Jerry.
Dear Richard! Merriam's eyes were
tear -dimmed as she beheld him. For
after all, he had been her dearest
friend long before she had met her
John. And he looked SO well-"old,
ish," she told herself-that her quick
sympathy went out to him. She ran
toward him impulsively. both hands
outstretched.
