How To Serve
The Cucumber

Do you ever cook cucumbers?
The expression cool as a cucumber
is as old as the hills and admits that
cucumbers eve were considered a
real food, even long before food val
ues and proteins were heard of.
This vegetable produces no heat or
energy and is USE for its bulk
alone.
Witty cucumbers with hard seeds
are very hard to digest and should
not be tolerated. They can be
freshened, have the seeds removed
and be cooked.

Two medium-sized cucumbers, 3
tablespoons finely chopped chicken

about As minutes to bake the Gu

motto for the coming season.
This may be the last eason for
the straightline gown-and the
French couturiers devoutedly hope it
is, but for another six months, it
reigns supreme! -.
Three-piece suits show almost a
straight line from shoulders to hem.
Afternoon frocks take the pencil
for their model. Only the evening
frocks for the young and slender,
which follow the bouffant line are
an exception to the rule.
To the casual eye the styles for
the coming winter do not differ
greatly from those of the summer,
but the discerning eye sees many
strawS which indicate a change of
wind, and the silhouette is changed
just enough so that you may easily
tell this seasons model from last.
Line Has Moved
The waistline han moved. 1t does
not dwell so near the hips as it did,
and any indication of its habitat Is
entirely cultivated so far as many
of the smartest frocks are con-

During this time drink as little liquid
as you can comfortably get along
with.
Mrs. r. D. NJ. writes:
1 am a constant reader of your
department and think 1t very worth
while. My baby is ten and one-half
months old and was partially breast
fed until six months. with supple
mentary feelings of modified cows
milk. Then at six months / had to
put her entirely on the bottle. She
did not seem to digest the cows milk
properly and / gave her condensed
milk. The food agreed with her and
she has never been sick and is
plump and strong. Lately ] have
discovered that the ends of her ribs
are slightly thickened and hat they
turn out. Moreover her teeth are
slow in coming. She had six at near
five months and is only just cutting
her seventh now. I feel that she is
lacking something. I will appreciate
your advice.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS VEN
THE MOTHER OF sAvoNARoDDA
By MARY ADRIAN

Her temperament was gentle,
though ardent. Her n was
soothing and restful. and she had,
according to her biographer, an in
tellect which went to the heart of
things. There was nothing she was
incapable of understanding, and her
kindness was extended to all living
things. She was a generous, chari-
table, sensitive woman, good to the
poor, kind to her neighbors, and
thoughtful of all those around her.
Actual incidents of her life are hard
to find, but the concensus of opin-
ion amongl writers is that she was a
sanity wbman, and that the fine
ness of sokl, if not the fire of man
