Nutrition Nuggets.

Don't forget that when orange Juice
or in fact any fruit juice is added TO
a dish YOU are increasing tho food
value. Both lemon and orange juice
will frequently add the much-needed
yitamins to an otherwise incomplete
meal.
Freshly soured milk should he made
into pot cheese. Pour 1t into a cheese
cloth bag; let 1t hang over Il. large
bowl and drip through the night
Next day turn out and mash until all
elements are removed. Only fresh
milk should be used for this cottage
or pot cheese as milk that has soured
and is stale will be very unwholesome.
Properly made pot cheese is one of
the most nourishing dishes possible.
Train your family to the enjoyment
OF very simple desserts. Such dishes
az fruit puddings. rice with busting
of powdered sugar and cinnamon or
plain boiled rice with a border of
stewed fruit or even Stewed fruit by
itself with plain cake or cookies are
all excellent desserts and will save
your time and the digestion of your
family. Hearty desserts such as pies
and rich puddings should be reserved
for meals that are In themselves not
quite adequate In food value. A very
nourishing dessert following a full
menu will be likely to overbalance
the diet.
Endless variations Of homemade ice
cream may be achieved by the simple
addition Of a border Of stewed canned
fruit. Different color combinations
such as pistachio ice cream with
strawberry border. chocolate ice
cream with stewed white grapes and
vanilla ice cream with blackberry
border are Just a few suggestions as
possibilities. Most important OF all,
the addition Of fruit brings up the
already generous food value Of the
ice cream until we have an exception
ally we'll balanced dessert.
Ice cream and water tees are good
for Winter desserts as we'll as for
Summer. Remember when planning
them that ice cream Is most nourish-
ing Of all. The food value of water
ices exists solely in the fruit juices
added and the sugar. while sherbet
adds the added food value Of white of
egg.

It was nearing IL o'clock. the magic

CHAPTER XXXN.
The Party Progresses.

If BettyS head began TO spin after
one drink, the others seemed to be
| able to stand n great deal of the
punch. At about II o'clock when the
men took 1t into the kitchen for re-
punishment. By that time every
one was feeling very gay. Laughter
| was more shrill and conversation was
louder than it had been earlier in the
evening. There was more abandon
in the dancing. too. and Betty was
beginning to realize that she was not
going to be a success.
Bob Marshall, the man she had met
on the day she had taken Jimmy home
from the hospital. had at first tried
to pay some attention to her. Per
haps it was because Alice was so per-
sistently engaged In following Jimmy
about and he felt sorry for Betty. At
any rate. he asked her to dance sew
eral times. and after the dance led
her Immediately up to the punch
bowl. But when he discovered that
she took nothing to drink and was not
exactly what he would have termed
in his vernacular exciting, he finally
left her to her own devices.
He could have more fun with the
other girls. They were gayer and
not so inclined to be prudish. After
all. who ever heard of a girl who re-
fused to drink anything on New
Years Eve?
II she didn't have a good time it

Betty to dance. and she exerted her.

! 1t took certain liberation of spirit
| to stimulate her and put her at her
| best, and tonight she could not attain
! 1t. She simply could not let herself
! go as Alice and the other girls We're
| doing, and 1t troubled her because
| Jim seemed to be having such a good
| time with all Of them, Alice particu
| larly.
OF all the men present. Alice seemed
| to prefer Jim. And when she danced
with him Betty could not seem tc

| didn't seem so. And then. too. Alice

! and when she danced she turned her
| face forward after the manner OF
| Spanish dancers, SO that their cheeks
touched. 1t looked very pretty. much
! prettier than the ordinary way, but
so intimate. One expected it in ex
hibition dancers, but not in Il ball

There was another girl present. one
| Of the two Betty had seen earlier ir

| the party, and the more punch she
| drank the gayer she was.
OF course. Jim danced with Betty
