Lent
BY BERTHA f.. SlTAPLEIGH
Of Columbia University

Lent is here. Two days a week
may we'll be given UP to a meatless
diet. Or, if not entirely eliminated,
meat may be eaten in smaller guam
tity by combining 1t with various
starchy foods.
For instance, the Italian method
of serving spaghetti with a good
tomato sauce containing a little
meat, plus vegetable soup and a
green salad, furnishes a sufficient
satisfying dinner.
The pilafs so much used by orien-
tals people, containing rice and q
small amount of meat, meat dump
lings, a good stew with a little meat
and many vegetables, the Chinese
chow mein and the Mexican chill
con carne or tamales are other ex'
amples of good food with a mini
mum meat allowance.
Hard boiled, either plain or with
yolks removed, combined with sea-
sonings and replaced in the whites
in a cream sauce, eggs are good.
Omelets may be served with
mushrooms, spinach. onions or
PURGE of tomatoes, highly seasoned
Combined with cheese and milk,
seasoned with salt. pepper and
onion, eggs may be baked as a Gus
tard. When turned from cup or
dish serve with a cream sauce, plain
or combined with cooked vegetables.
In sort, with good eggs in the
house, the possibilities for a good
meal to be enjoyed are almost end-
less.

YOUR BABY M MINE

Mrs. A. De S. writes:
May 1 ask you a question? Your
advice in the paper is so helpful.
My baby is eleven months old,
doesn't sleep well at night. He turns
on one side and then the other and
kicks. He doesn't sleep vel in the
daytime, either, only q few minutes.
Sometimes at night he sits up and is
so sleepy his head just mods, he
doesn't seem to know what to do
with himself. He has been this way
the last five months. What must /
do?
This tells me only one thing and
that is sleeplessness. I wish so much
that you had told me something
about his daily habits. What he
eats. How much fresh air he gets.
What he sleeps in. What he wears
in the daytime.
The first and most important Is
his food, of course, and very, very
likely that is what is wrong. Too
much or too little, since you haven't
told me 1 can only guess. Won't you

HIGH SCHOOL BAZAAR PROVES
TO BE WONDERFUL SUCCESS

Years may come and years may go
but it will be many a year before an
elaborate affair such as was held at
the local high school last night will
again be duplicated at the ivy cover
ed institution on the shores of the
Raritan. It was the greatest success
both financially and socially ever
held in the portals of the Amboy
high school.
The city is to be congratulated up
on the manner in which they turned
out to support the Seniors in their
quest for funds to tighten the bur-
den of expense on the annual Wash
ington trip.
AS was expected the treat of the
evening was the six act program
presented in the school auditorium.
The hall was packed to overlooking
and it certainly was a delighted au-
dience which left at the conclusion
of the entertainment. AS has been
stated before, it was worth going
miles to see.
When the curtain went up for the
first act, it disclosed a beautiful for
ist shop setting, appropriate for the
one act comedy, THE FLORIST Shop"
The scenic and electrical effects were
gorgeous and above the ordinary,
thanks to the ingenuity of several
members of the class. Maude, skill
fully portrayed by Miss Rose We
deem, opens the hostilities in the
playlet, when she sends a bouquet
of orchids to a place where they will
do most good. However, Mr.. Slovsky
the proprietor, acted by handsome
Lewis Diamond, declares that he is
not running a charitable institution,
but his language is n Of dollars
and cents. Alez Horechak, as Hen
~, the handy man, drew great
laughter by his quick repartee tc
Maude's queries, and his curious an
tics.
Miss Wells. or in our community
Miss Ruth Emmons, is the recipi-
ent of the two dollar orchids. She
journeys to find her unknown sup
posed sutton. The staid old lady
is disappointed in her quest as
Maude, the sympathetic clerk re-
fuses to divulge the name of the
philanthropist, who squandered two
dollars on flowers.
While at the shop, Mr.. Jackson,

makes his appearance and meets

years. He also wants to know who
