Dinner Menu
BY Alice IRWIN
Ham and Macaroni Croquettes
Escalloped Tomatoes
Radish and Cucumber Salad
Caramel Fruit Sponge

Iarancl FRUIT sponge
The first thing l had in mind in
planning this menu was to utilize the
boiled ham left over from last even
ing's dinner. Probably just a few ends
are left, but if we can manage to get
a cup of cold boiled ham we have suf-
ficient meat for ham and macaroni
crOquettes.
Caramel fruit sponge is merely our
old acquaintance, upside down cake,
which is sometimes known by the I'M
attractive name of skillet cake, under
new name. 1t is made by turning
the batter, for which a sponge cake
formula is usually used, over some
sort of fruit and baking it in an iron
frying pan or skillet. For this time
of year | suggest fresh peaches, which
are pared and sliced. A generous
quantity of butter is melted in the
frying pan, a cup of brown sugar added
and when it is melted the fruit placed
in it; | say placed because the fruit
is TO form the top of the cake when
it is turned out from the pan, and
therefore we must keep in mind the
necessity for an attractive appear
ance.
There are several recipes for which
hurry-up calls have come in; so l will
give them here.

Fans are such A comfort in hot
weather that they are popular indeed.
In Italy it is the fashion for men as
well as women TO carry them. not
large and mannish affairs, either. but
small, vest pocket varieties. These they
use as unaffectedly as woman wields
large ostrich feather fans that are
more ornamental than useful. Speak
ing of small fans, the convenience of
them is their chief reCommenda ton.
They give little breeze. but then this
same thing is true of ostrich feather
fans.
OF all the fans none gives more
breeze than a palm leaf. Between the
extremes of size. the tiny folding fan
and the large palm leaf, there is a
wide range of Styies and shapes per
that fancy dictates. NThe woman who
wishes to appear to best advantage
will be assured that the fan she carries
harnlonizes with her costume.
Fortunately, there is a fascinating
and inexpensive way of making fans
accord with gowns. Any woman who
wants one may have it with little ef-
fort. The fans themselves are of
woven splints. They are shaped like
palm leaves, but are somewhat fiexi-
bic and decidedly more graceful. The
Interviewing of the mesh is pleasing.
Flower Ornaments.
Nothing is simpler than to decorate
these fans with organdy flowers to
match costumes. You ran readily ap-
preciate their charm. The flowers may

Cherries.

ON my Gold Ridge farm at
Sebastopol." said Mr.. Burbank. one
morning there is an aristocratiC
colony of pedigreed cherries living on
a single tree in the cherry orchard.
They are descendants of closely
related ancestors. as is generally the
case with other aristocracies, the an
cestral traits are differently blended
in the various families. and they have
widely dissimilar individual traits
Some branches bear fruit of a
bright red color. others have pink.
yellow, black or purple fruit. and
among them all is great diversity Of
flavor. sweetness. size, freedom Of
stones time of ripening. texture of
the fruit and skin and numerous
other characteristics of all well bred
cherries"
Does your colony of Four Hundred
always remain the same?" I asked.
''No-each generation shows new
combinations of the qualities of the
parents, and there always are new
additions coming into bearing. but in
spite of additions and eliminations the
number of this particular tree re-
mains about the same.
Even among these aristocra tic
cherries there are somtimes unworthy
descenda nts which might be called
black sheep. Most Of these are
eliminated. but others by repeated
crossings and selections have devel-
oped valuable qua alities and are on
their way to become respectable mem
bers of society,"
In this. we might see some hope
and outlook for human black sheep"
] said.
There is always hope for improve
ment and development in every hu;

bring out valuable latent traits that

tions.
What about the promising descend

among them have been the Giant

luton to produce new plants accord

The cherry was originally a wild
tree bearing sparingly small. acid

of these remote ancestors are to be
found today in northern Canada and
other wooded countries"
The cherry has been so long cult

SOURCE-A locality.

Braddock is one of those English
family names in which the source
which seems so obvious once your at.
tention is called TO it, is subtly con
cealed by the slight changes in spell.
ing which have taken place in the two
words from which 1t was compounded
since the period of family name for
nation.
Back in the Middle Ages the more
common way of spelling the word
broad" was brad" and the word
"oak" was sometimes spelled "oke. -
or AXE" or ''oc.'
This family name means literally
broad oak.
Naturally it was one of those which
in it's first use was surname merely
descriptive of the place where the
bearer resided, or the community lin

than a. local landmarkl in which he

money, no family and no friends. But
because of his bravery and his hon.
esty he became a rich man and Lord
Mayor of London, when he grew up.
The story starts today with a pic

boy owned, indeed it was the only
suit that he owned. Before cutting
out, paste the picture on a piece of
