in adding an artistic touch to the
table"
In an interview with Mrs. Moorhead
that paper spoke of her in the follow.
ing interesting manner:
81 do not think am ever so happy
said Mrs. Caroline Moorhead, in dis.
cussing the lectures which she is to
give at the Portland evening school,
"as I am when am cutting fruit
Mrs. Moorhead came to Portland
from Florida and through the efforts
of the Chamber of Commerce is spend
ing some time in Mamie. She comes
as representative of the Florida Cit
rus Exchange, composed of the fruit
growers of that state, and they Sc
cured her services because of her firm
belief in the connection between good
health and the right amount of the
right food.
1T was some years ago that Mrs.
Moorhead had this fact rather fOrei-
bly, brought to her attention, and in a
manner that set her thinking. She
began to study foods-the foods that
give energy and the foods that act as
natures medicine. Next she strated
out to carry her message to Cother wo-
men and she spent several years as a
home demonstratcr before she under
took the task OF showing hCmemakers
the possibilities in fruit.
The citrus fruits are grapefruit,
oranges, lemons, tangerines and lines.
How many people eat grapefruit for
breakfast and still more eat an orange,
or they have an orange pudding for
dessert once in while or perhaps a
fruit salad.
But listen to this! Cut some stale
bread into thin slices. Spread with a
little butter and then with Grange
marmalade. Press two slices together,
roll in egg batter. fry in deep fat.
sprinkle with powdered suga-, ado a
few minced cherries fc- color and
serve hot.
When Mrs. Mocrhcaa wants TO
serve a grapefruit she doesn't mere
ly cut it in halves and sprinkle in
plenty of sugar. She took that grape
fruit stem end down, and starting at
the point where the blow was When
the fruit was in. the blossom stage,
and with sharp knife made nine cuts
stopping short of the stem. This
divided the peel into eight sections
which she quickly pulled back from
the fruit Then, with a dexterous
twist, she separated it from the peel
ing, then she removed the seeds and
that part of the pulp which makes peo-
pie pronounce grapefruit bitter
And here is something that many
people do not know. Salt brings out
the rich favor Of grapefruit, where
as sugar only intensifies its bitterness.
After the peeling has been removed
she Sits it deftly into narrow ribbons,
always keeping it joined at the stem
end, and makes it foundation for
one of the many varieties of fruit sal
'ad which she prepares. For a little
color add the skin OF an orange cut
in the same fashion. It is true the
peeling thus prepared hasn't one par
ticle of food value but it is attractive
to the eye and makes the dish appeal
more to the palate.
Mrs. Moorhead is a strong advocate
of the house beautiful and she in
sists that no spot in the most beauti-
full home should be more attractive
than the family table The housekeep-
| er who cannot spend little time now
and then to give her meals an appear
kance OF daintiness is not cultivating
the art OF home-1naking to the utmost.
Mrs Moorhead will lecture in the
music room of Portland High School
before the members of the Home Eco
nomics class, under the direction of
Miss Harriet s. Sweetsir. There viii
be lectures ca Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings and in addition
to the pupils of the class, every house
wife in Portland is invited to be pres
