For Luncheon

Braised Squads Potato Balls
Baked Squash
Novelty Salad
Orange Marmalade Pudding
Hard Ssuoe
Mints
Perhaps you are planning q re-
turn luncheon for some Of hospitality
extended to you during the Thanks
giving holidays. BY using the autumn
as your motif and a menu similar to
the one given above you can give a
delightful party.
Your centerpiece might be q low
basket of autumn fruits and veg
etables. Choose those rich In color
and contrasts-as persimmons, pome-
granates, pears, apples, eggplant,
oranges, grapes, etc.
Use sprays of autumn leaves or
cotoneaster and orange candlesticfs.
PUREE OF LIMA BEANS.
Parboil two cups Of dried lima
beans till the skins burst. Remove
the skins and cook the inner part OF
the beans in two quarts of water till
completely softened. While they are
cooking add four stalks of celery, one
medium onion and one slice of bacon,
salt and pepper to taste. When beans
are done rub all through q coarse
strainer; reheat and serve with crou-
tons.
BRAISED SQUADS.
Though squads seem rather sxpen-
sive there is no meat quite 20 de-
licious for a luncheon Of your best
company type as this delectable bird.
Assuming that the birds have been
well dressed. cleaned, sailed and pep
pered, and left thus over night in the
ice box, the next thing to do Is to
make just enough dressing after the
recipe given you for the Thanksgiving
turkey, and to stuff each SQUAD with
this. Leave room for the stuffing to
expand.
Brown the squads gently In a
large, deep graniteware kettle. Add
Just enough water to keep them sim
mering for one hour, or until tender.
If properly done they will retain their
shape, yet fall apart when eaten, and
every morsel IL pleasure TO eat.
Novelty Salad.
Combine mayonnaise and hard
cooked eggs and stiffen with CELIA
tine so that 1t will slice. On a slice
of tomato in a bed of lettuce put
slice or mound of the special may
onnnaise. Cover all with tiny
shrimps.
Hard Sauce.
One cup powdered sugar.
One-quarter pound Of butter.
Cream these we'll together. Add
the yolk of one egg and two table,
spoons of lemon juice and beat again.
Fold the stiffly beaten white in at
last. This is far superior to the
ordinary grainy hard sauce.

HEAT In CANDY-MAKING
By HANNAH WING

few drops of the hot syrup in cold
water. The following table will help
in identifying the hard ball, soft ball
stages, etc:
Thread stage: Dip the spoon in
the boiling syrup and let little drop
from the spoon. A drop should form Il
thin. silky thread which will become
longer and more definite as the syrup
is cooked.
Soft ball stage: Put few drops of
syrup in q cup of cold water. 1t
should just form a ball between rhc
fingers.
Firm ball: The syrup should form
a ball that can easily be picked up
in the fingers.
Hard ball: The syrup should form
a hard ball like q gumdrop, nearly
the crack stage.
Crack stage: Drop little syrup
in cold water. 1t should harden i'm
mcdiately, cracking as it drops into
the water and crack when broken III
the fingers.
Hard crack: The crack is harder.
All the water is evaporated and candy
is almost ready to caramelize.
Caramel: The syrup browns gradu-
ally and may be removed at any point.
Test in cold water to get desired fla
vor. 1t will continue to cook after
removing from the stove because of its
own heat.
As soon as the proper stage or tenn,
perature is reached the syrup should
stop cooking at once. In testing
syrups in cold water. it is better TO
remove the syrup from the fire while
testing MS it may easily overlook
while the test is being made.

Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
The Useful Chalcid Fly.

The buzzing of the machinery OF
the great looms which made thousands
{ and thousands of yards of cotton cloth
almost deafened us in the great fac
: tory in Lancashire, England.
: You know that part of England is
the greatest cotton manufacturing CEN
: ter in the world.
And just think, Foxy Grandpa, "

1T is wonderful, when you think

"And think of the employment that
little plant gives to thousands" |
said. Thousands of families live in
comfortable houses and have three good
meals O day because nature furnished
a plant which can be used for mans
comfort"
1t wouldn't be much good unless
nature had provided something else, "
said Bunny as we came out of the
doorway where it was more quiet.
What do you mean, Bunny?"

"A protection for the cotton plant, "
he answered simply.

Nothing rs lifeless as climate, "
Bunny said quietly.
Something alive?" inquired Bobby

"Yes,v said Bunny.
What is it?" asked Bobby.
IF it weren't for little fly called
the chalcid fly, cotton could not
grow"

moving over closer to Bunny.
Because" said Bunny, stopping
still and raising his right paw, while
there is an enemy of the cotton plant
an insect which lays eggs in it and
matches out into grub and then an
insect. Now, this insect ruins the cot
ton plant. Now, here is where the
little chalcid fly does its deadly work.
The chalcid fly kills the enemy OF
the cotton plant while it is grub.
Think of it," said Bobby.
Bunny is right" l agreed. IF it

That isn't all the chalcid fly does,

With the approach Of the holidays
the making of candy and various
sweets takes sudden start. New
amateur candy makers become enthus-
iastic each season and various and
sundry kitchens all over the land are
likely to develop suspiciously sticky
spots in obscure places. for not all
home candy making ends in success
with the first attempt.
IL one cooks by a thermometer the
trcachery of guess work is eliminated.
However, to make candy with ther-
mometcr one must have more than the
thermometer itself. Different types of
candies call for different temperatures
and to tell at what temperature a
fudge or butterscotch is done one must
have table of temperatures which
can be kept with candy recipes or with
the thermometer where it will be close
at hand when needed.
CANDY TEMPERATURES.
234-236 degrees 4. for fudge, penn-
chi. creams. sauces, etc. -.

MEDITATIONS OF A MARRIED
WOMAN BY Helen ROWLAND
The Hearts Second Blooming.

, unc the other is a product Of the
saxaphone age.
If you are lonely at forty or fifty
or ninety, fall in love and marry by
all means-but marry somebody who
did the same sums that you did in
school, speaks your language, shares
your memories and dreams your
dreams.
It's rather fun to look into the
mirror together and compare wrinkles
if the wrinkles are equally divided,
It's awfully comforting to clasp
hands and go down hill together, when
you are both a little tired and be-
ginning to limp.
You can feel like a "boy' or Il
"girl" at seventy, if you have n boy
or girl of your own age besides you-
but you are more apt to feel like n
cripple, if you try to race along with
spry young thing in whose lexicon
there is no such word as "rheuma-
tismi"
Love is the greatest youthifier and
beautifier in the world. 1t is the
only thing worth while in life! If
you have missed your mate or lost
your mate, find another-but look for
him or her on your own side of the
rainbow.
You may fool the world, your
friends, and the census takers, but
you can't fool Nature, Time or the
Bluebird!

Helpful Hints

Never use soda for washing enamel
ans. A little salt applied with soft
9th will remove all stains, and the
an should be rinsed afterward with
warm water.
If salt Is not added till potatoes are
nearly cooked it will help to make
them dry and floury. To whiten pota-
toes, especially old ones, a teaspoonful
Of vinegar should be added just before
they are cooked.
Ink stains may be removed from
linen by putting melted tallow on the
mark and then washing the article.
The ink and the grease will come out
together.

"Can a man of sixty really love-"
inquiries a timid soul.
Yes-if his heart is not ossified
or worn out from overwork. And,
which is more, my son, he can be
really loved!
The older we grow, the better we
love, and the more we need love. But
if you are seventy or fifty, or even
over forty, "pick on" somebody in
your own class. Nobody younger
wants to take care of your crutches
and your false teeth.
The most pathetic spectacle of this
age is that of the bald
headed Lothario, who finds that his
wife is "too old for him." and starts
playing around with his daughters
schoolmatos. He is riding for fall
which will leave him with chronic
paralysis of the vanity.
Every man has the delusion that
he is "as young as he feels" and that
to marry woman half his age will
make him feel younger. But, when
he does, the world smiles-and the
angels burst into tears, because they
know that two people have set out
in search of the Bluebird, and turn
ed down the wrong road.
No couple can keep step when one
is dancing an old-fashioned waltz
and the other is trying to do the
Charleston. No two hearts can keep
