Salad Dressing.
ELIZABETH JORDAN,
Editor. Playwright. Aufhsr.

Few women have a longer list of
achievements to their credit than
Elizabeth Jordan, who started in
making a name for herself in news
paper circles as soon as she graduated
from the Convent of Notre Dame in
Milwaukee. She. hied herself to New
York and by reasons of brains and
luck esta ablished herself ON the staff
OF the New York World, where she
remained for 10 years. Various other
publications sought to add her to
their stats and finally she did go
with the Harper publications She
has written extensively plays. stories,
novelties, books and engaged In all
sorts of civic projects as well as
given her talents TO national work
during the war period. She Is still
writing for the leading American
and English nagasines and Is staff
editorial writer for a. chain of Amer
lean newspapers
Miss Jordan occasionally likes to
try out her hand on some things
tasty in the cookery line and in
evitably falls back upon salad for
which her fayorite dressing rs:
One and half cups of Italian
oil, liberal sprinklihg of paprika,
pepper to taste, one-half cup of Vine
gar, one-quarter cup of sugar, three
quarters teaspoonful salt, one-half
cup tomato catsup. Put all these in
gradients in q bowl, mix very thor

About Tea.

Even in the days before the Chris
tian era tea was very highly priced
as arstimulating beverage. The Chi
nese have records showing that very
learned philosophers and other
scholars priced ii highly as one ele-
ment in the dispensing of hospital
ity. Even Confucius is said to have
been numbered among the first tea
drinkers, SO We might trace the his
tory of this popular herb down
through the centuries and from coun-
try to country. In the seventeenth
century We find that physicians were
ascribfng to 1t any number of health
restoring qualities. One of the his
toric events in which it played part,
and in which we as Americans take
great interest, was that of the stamp
act of 1865. Our pioneer ancestors
realized that some of the tax laws be-
ing passed by England were unjust.
and after several years of bitter ar
gument and strife the controversy
eliminated in what we know as the
Boston Tea Rarty.
Practically all food specialists agree
that children should not have tea
The very Fact that it stimulates the
nervoas system means that children
should avoid its use. The child's
nervous system is not grown up any
more than Is his body as a whole, and
even slight stimulation is enough to
produce in the child a. very real dis
turbance of the bodily equilibrium.
In case of the adult, however, we
have another story. Now that we
know, after a good many years of ex-
pertmanting, how TO prepare tea prop
erly, grown-ups may enjoy its re-
frestnng qualities without any fear
OF distressing results. This means,
of course, If the adult is in normal
health. The physician is the only one
who can say as TO whether the in
valid should have tea or not.
1t has taken considerable expert
nentation to evolve the proper meth
Cd of making tea, and here lies the
secret of its good to mankind. If the
tea is STEPPED with freshly and ac-
lively boiled water. the resulting
beverage Is merely pleasantly stimu-
lating and restful, even though such
statement may seem 3 contradic-
tion in terms. On the other hand, il
the water Is boiling, or if it is al
lowed to stand some time on the
grounds, we have drink that is ac-
lively harmful, since such a method
OF preparation brings out the poison
Gus element existing ia the tea and
actually tends to harden the lining of
the stomach as well.
Our English cousins know even bet
ter than we do. perhaps, how to use
tea. They are careful about having
the teapot piping hot. They would
not think Of brewing the tea without
freshly boiling water, and they serve
it as q matter of course in either a
social or a business way.
Another caution may be in order.
An excess OF sugar will Certainly
lessen the value of the beverage for
some. while others are better for TAX
Ing this drink either clear or with
Perhaps in all the list of foodstuffs
there is no better example than this
of the good lat may come from right
use. and the bad that may come from
the wrong use.

Fun of Travelling.
Who travels much will wiser he.
Provided he has eyes to see.

Who travels much will wiser be,
Provided he has eyes to see.
Little Joe otter.
Gentle Mistress Moon, peeping
down through the tops of the trees
of the Green Forest, saw queer
Brook to the pond of Paddy the
Beaver deep in the Green Forest
They were Little Joe Otter, Mrs. OF
ter and the two nearly grown young
Otters. Little Joe was leading, the
others following in single file.
When they reached the pond of
Paddy the Beaver they found il COW
cred with smooth ice. The snow had
fallen before the pond had frozen
over. Little Joe made three or four
jumps and then threw himself fiat
on his stomach and away he slid on
the smooth ice. AS soon as he stopped
gliding he scrambled to his feet and
did the same thing again. The others
did just as he did They squealed
with delight. 1t was great fun. And
1t was surprising how fast they went
across the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
When they got to the other side the
young Offers didn't want to leave
that pond-they wanted to slide soma
more.
But they had been well brought up,
and when Little Joe promised them
that they should have more sliding
before they reached the end of their
journey they said nothing more. Into
the woods, plowing through the snow,
Little Joe led the way. Every time
there was a little slope he would
slide down to the bottom. OF course
all the others did the Same. Some
times where it was level he would
make a few swift jumps and then
slide on his stomach.
The young Offers We're much ex-
cited. 1t was the first time they had
been any distance from the Laughing
Brook, in a hole in the bank of which
they had been born. Everything was
strange and new and wonderful. They
wanted to stop TO examine every
thing. They started Jumper the Hare,
asd as he bounded away the young
Offers started after him and couldn't
understand why Little Joe and Mrs.
Otter called them back. Mrs. Grouse
whirred out from under a low hem
lock tree and gave them great
fright. Both jumped at the roar of
those stout wings. Then as they saw
that their father and mother hadn't
even turned their heads, they looked
a little ashamed. --F,A

Here is a group of family names
she exact meanings Of which are a
bit of a mystery, though In q gen.
eral way their meaning Is quite clear.
The word "halgh" looks to the
casual eye more German than Eng
ftsh. It Is, however, purely a relic
of the Anglo-Saxons' speech, other
modern forms of which are found in
family names with such endings as
SHALL "all." "haugh' and sometimes
shaw," ~
1t is not the same word as cur
modern word fhaH," It was mostly
spelled "heaih" by the Anglo -Saxons,
the ''h" having something of gut
teral sound which afterward caused
the ''g'' to be introduced, at the Pc
sicd before these strong gutterals and
aspirates faded out of the language.
That the "nealh" meant a certain
kind of placa Is easily established,
but exactly what kind Is not known,
except that the word seemed to par
take Of the meanings Of corner"
~recess," hollow" or hiding place"
apparently in the forest.
The name Greenhalgh, of course, re-
ferred originally to some such spot
In which the foliage was enough OF

Pompadour's Riding Habit of Velvet,
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Now It's Madame Pompadour."
You have perhaps neard of the new
play with music that has been CIV
Ing New York audiences vivid and
enticing impression of the court Co.'S
tunes of Louis XIV. Interesting
nough 1t Is at a period when skirts
and figures have been as straight as
a vertical in a cross wogd puzzle and
when bodily curves have been sup
pressed and eliminated to the ex-
treme. that .costumery such as this,
enormously bouffant, undulating and
bil1owy, seems most attractive. We
may find IL especially charming be-
cause we have fed up on the pencil
silhouette.
Nine. Pompadour's riding costume
Is especially memorable The girl
OF today compares the trailing VOL
luminous velvet riding skirt worn
by the royal faverite with her own
sleek coat and breeches and feels a
new and distinct sort OF admiration
for the pompadour. To have been
able to follow the hunt in a costume
like that, with a picture hat trailing
ostrich feathers over the. shoulder
nearly to the waist, must indeed
have demanded a horsemanship su-
perior to our own.
Bottle green is the color selected
for this historic costume and velvet
the fabric, A white waistcoat en-
broidered in gold and the green hat
finished with its charming but alb
surd pendant ostrich plume, billowy
white. undersleeves, a sash of orange
satin and white. gloves with en-
broidered, cuffs finish the remarkable
picture.
In contrast to this the girl OF to-
day wears breeches-unless she imi-
tates those. English women who ride
side saddle in skirts out of eornpli-
ment to members of the royal fam
lily, who seem to have retained mid
Victorian prejudices against the
cross-saddle for women. Tho sketch
shows the new style breechcs of
brown checked cloth, worn
with a whipcord coat, a narrow
brtmmed derby hat, and riding boots
of brown leather.
For the rough and ready Winter
riding costume there Is one Of brown
corduroy cut with fun knickers and
a sort of Norfolk coat well lined and
padded. One of these new corduroy
riding suits answers the purpose for
country walks, skating and many
sorts Of Winter athletics.
