SOUPSFOR

BY Loretto c. Lynch

nRANY folks feel that there

A'A lacking when meat Is
taken from the meal. There are,
however, a number of soups which.
though lacking meat. are most
nourishing as we'll as toothsome.
and when served at the beginning
of luncheon or dinner. go far
toward dispelling the appetite.
Such a soup Is clam and egg
soup. The recipe follows: One
quart clans, one quart milk, one
slice onion, one-quarter cupful
butter, two tablespoonfuls flour,
one and one-half teaspoonfuls salt,
one-eighth teaspoonful pepper, few
gratings of nutmeg and the whites
of two eggs.
Clean and pick over the clans,
using a little over half a cupful
of cold water. Reserve the liquor.
Put aside the soft part of the
clans: finely chop the hard parts,
add to liquor. bring gradually to
the boiling point, strain. add soft
part Of clans and thicken with
butter and flour rubbed together.
Scald milk with onion, remove
onion. add milk and seasonings
and pour over white Of eggs beat
en- stiff.
Bean soup IL a tasteless con-
coction unless one follows really
good recipe. You will find In
cream of lima bean soup a tasty,
nutritious and inexpensive dish.
1t is made from: Ono cupful
dried lima beans, three pints cold
water. two slices onion. five slices
carrot. one cupful rich milk, four
tablespoonfuls butter. two table
spoonfuls flour, one scant tea
spoonful salt and one-half tea
spoonful pepper.
Soak the beans over night. In
the morning drain. rinse and cook
in the cold water. When soft, rub
through q sieve. Cut the vegeta-
bles into small cubes and cook
about five minutes in half the but
ter. Remove the vegetables, add
flour, salt and pepper and stir into
the hot soup. Add milk, reheat.
strain and add remaining butter in
small pieces.
Aboard one of the big ocean

soups served was called Cocky

but is very appetiZing, neverthe-
less. For II one needs | bLnch

PURIFYING
KINDNESS
BY w. A. McKeever-

A MIDDLE-AGED mother OF
~ three grown-ups has found
a way to bring back the es-
sence Of the happy days of yore.
1t is to become a neighborhood
"Auntie," to open her house two
hours per day. with all necessary
playthings provided. and to invite
the little ones to come in for
good time.
"Auntie Margaret" is the IA
miliar name of this silver-haired
foster-mother, and the small chill
dren within range of her commo-
dious household have quickly
learned the rules of her hospi-
tality. From 9 to IL a. m.
are her open hours, while the
mothers of the neighborhood are
sunder the heaviest strain of the
days duties.
She admits the children regularly
and dismissed them regularly, as
II 1t were a school, and she has
lifted up a large, coy room es-
pecially for the convenience of the
happy boys and girls. There are
building blocks, toy engines,
structo materials, baby go-carts,
big, soft balls. dolls and other
things of the class.
When the baby visitors are leav.
ing at eleven the larger ones are
shown how to put every plaything
In Its place In readiness for the
tomorrow's merrymakirig.
Why not make this affair COM
mon2 Why cannot thousands Of
"Aunties' spring into existence
MS play hostesses for the little
ones? There is no profit In sigh.
ing for the days that are gone.
Sadness Is kind OF beginning
sickness. Many long years Of
comparative happiness might be-
come the high reward Of the ordl-
nary mother of the departed
grown-nps by using this scheme.
And. then, the relief to the real
mother OF the several little ones.
who must perhaps struggle all
day under an overload Of home
duties-think what IL means 20
give her daily two-hour period
either TO relax or TO catch up"
There are really so many ways
In which we can all at times act
as assistant parents. Why should
we not be more attentive there
tot For many women who now
spend long empty hours trying to
find pleasure In cards and social
gossip II would be 80 easv to
open a play room in the big house
and there let the little ones come
trooping in.
