THRIFT AND BEAUTY
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

tT<O BE thrifty during the late war
4 was popular. In fact, it was
rather disgraceful than otherwise not
to be. We saved the nicfels and
bought thrift stamps. and we devised
all sorts of economies to reduce ex
penses until we were in danger Of be-
coming tight, and it is almost as bad
to be tight as to be thriftless.
One of the pet schemes for promot-
ing thrift and adding to the food sup
ply was the home garden. The news
papers were full Of the proper cloth
ing to wear while engaged in this
alluring sport of gardening, and one
saw published daily list Of the proper
seeds to plant and where to buy them.
am not inexperienced in garden
ing; know full well that the home
garden Is often better physical than
economic investment. 1t only occa-
sionally helps out the bank account,
but is more likely to increase ones
muscle than his money. especially if
one does not do his gardening by
proxy. In that case it is sure to be u
poor financial investment.
But have fallen again for the home
garden scheme. I am sure that this
time, though I have never done so
before, can make it pay. My mouth
waters at the thought Of the tender
head lettuce that l shall grow, of the
melting green peas which I shall cul-
fxr0f a fhn if1inu
corn. My table is covered with highly
Illustrated seed catalogues, which
pore over for hours at a time trying
to determine which of two varieties
Of certain vegetable is best suited to
my needs, deciding finally, usually,
that in order to be absolutely safe
might better order both.
The fly in the ointment-or l should
say flies-is the rather. appalling cost
Of seeds and of the few necessary
tools that one must have for even the
simple little garden that have been
planning. for one cannot start gar
den without seeds nor cultivate it with
out tools, and seed peas cost 40 cents
pound and a simple wheel hoe-and
one cannot manage real garden with
out wheel hoe-sets one back sew
enteen dollars. hope my garden
does not prove to be an illustration of
the proverb. 1T isn't the original cost
but the upkeep." etc.
Ny neighbor, Watkins, and have
planned to do our gardening together
and we are determined to make it an
experiment Of thrift. He is more en-
thusirstie even than am. perhaps be
cause he is less experienced. know

RHENUS may be simple or elabc-'
IHI rate, as the occasion demands.
But in any case, the basic dishes
for menu may often be the same.
Thus, a menu may consist of two,
principal dishes served as a two
piece luncheon, or other dishes may
be added to round out the menu so
that it might well serve as a conf
pany meal. These added dishes
may often be used to accompany
the principal dishes, without adding
more courses to the luncheon.
The first menu. with the addition
of a buttered roll or slice of bread
is quite complete in itself and
makes a very satisfactory simple
luncheon. This menu. IN its simple
form would read as follows:
Roasted Mushrooms.
Maple Peaches.
Roasted Mushrooms - Purchase
one and one-haf pounds of large,
fresh mushrooms: remove the skins
and either cut them in quarters or
let them remain whole. Place three
tablespoonfuls of butter in a large,
rather shallow pan which has
tight fitting cover.
Lay in the mushrooms. sprinkle
with one teaspoonful of salt; one
fourth teaspoonful of celery salt.
and one-eighth teaspoonful OF
CAYENNE pepper. Pour one-fourth
cupfuI of boiling water over all.
Cover and bake at 400 degrees F.
for one hour. Remove lid and let
brown slightly Pour in one-halt
cupful of cream and thicken with
one and ene-half ,aofespoonfuls OF
flour. Mix until smooth With
enough cold water to make 1t pour.
Serve on hot, buttered toast.
Maple Peaches.
Wash and soak one-half pound
0f dried peaches overnight in one
quart of cold water; bring to boil
and cook gently for one-half hour,
using a deep dish. Sweeten with
three-fourths cupful of brown or
n1aple sugar, adding water, II nee
essary, nearly covering the fruit.
Meanwhile, mix a soft biscuit dough
as follows: Mix together one cup.
full of bread flour, one cupful OF
whole wheat flour, our teaspoonfuls
Of baking powder, one-hah tea
spoonful of salt, and one teaspoon
kuI Of sugar.
Cut or work in until well blended
two tablespoonfuls of butter. Add
20 make a soft dough. Toss on a
floured board, shape to fit dish, and
lay over the stewing peaches. Sim
n,er for 20 minutes. tightly covered.
Uncover, brush with milk, and
brown delicately in the oven. Serve
with maple sirup.
To make this into a more elab-
orate menu, the Roasted Mush-
rooms may be accompanied by
quick bread OF some kind or by
dainty. bread and butter sandwiches
made with graham. rye or whole
Nheat, as well as white bread.
The second menu which we have
arranged may be served as a lunch
con or simple dinner. 1t reads as
follows:
Vegetable Soup
Cheese Biscuits
Prune Rice Pudding
Vegetable Soup-Purchase a beef
shank weighing about twN pounds.
