Nutrition NUGGETS.

In serving salt fish or meat re-
member that the process of sailing
changes the fiber somewhat. This
means that since it is slightly harder
in consistency it may be, and usually
Is. more difficult for children and deli
cate individuals to digest. Salt should
be thought of more as an appetizer
than as nOurishing food. although
in combination with vegetables it
makes a very satisfactory dish.
When seeking a variety in fish try
serving fresh prawns. These are in
season from September throughout
most of the early Winter. The
prawns are canned and the tail is
the portion eaten, although the heads
are sometimes pounded to paste and
used for f1avoring soups. Many of
our so-called shrimps are really
prawns. This being the case. one
may think of prawns as possessing
approximately the same food value
as shrimps. Not that this food value
is very high in energy and mineral
salts. but one may rest assured that
of the energy furnished an appreciate
proportion is in the form of protein
or body building food.
Dill seed Is a savory addition to
cucumber pickles. The latter should
be thought of entirely as an appetizer,
since while cucumbers themselves
when fresh are valuable foods, after
picking one should not eat enough of
them to insure an added supply of
food value. Moreover in picking, the
cucumber has been somewhat changed
in character just as fish or meat
fiber changes when sailed. In other
words, pickles, whatever variety,
should be eaten with discretion and
should not be thought as adding any
appreciable value to the diet as a
whole.
When pickles are added to a picnic
lunch they may be looked upon, as
one young woman expresses it, as
something to eat in between. Not
that this is perhaps the best advice,
since a relish of this character seems
to fit in best with the meal itself.
Desserts in the category of sOuff1es
or fruit whips are a valuable addi-
ton to the Summer diet, or to the
dietary OF any season for that matter.
We depend on the fruits contained in
these souffies to furnish the much
needed mineral salts, while the white
| OF eggs adds considerable to the body
building elements of the diet. While
| on the subject of eggs. it may be a
good plan to Ut out that, contrary
to earlier Il the white is more
digestible Il yolk. This state
| ment applies plain cooked eggs,
| such as boiled. When the white is
beaten stiffiy, as in the case of whips
| or souffies, the introduction of the air
bubbles renders the somewhat viscous
| mass much lighter and more easily
penetrated by the digestive juices.

ends of hair are trained to curl I'D on
! the cheeks. The black hair may be
shlngled and cut to a point at the
nape Of the neck. or il it is being
allowed to grow it may be arranged in
French twist. A fiat braided filet of
metallic ribbon with cluster of
flowers on one side may decorate the
couture for evening wear. The lobes
of the ears peep out below the hair.
| A high side part may be dressed
with hair of shoulder length or longer.
| The waves are smaller than in the pre-.
viously described couture and they lie
| fiat against the head A wave comes
forward over the eyebrow, recedes
over the temple and undulates forward
again in large wave over the side OF
the cheek and ear. The waves extend
across the back of the head and a knot
of hair is pinned low behind. A mink
gardenia or rosebud may be stuck in
the coil of hair so that the flower rests
on the side of the neck.
A bobbed couture for dainty little
girl with small features may be ar,
ranged by brushing the hair outward
and downward from a point at the ton
of the crown. This makes a long bang
reaching to the eyebrows. The hair AZ
the sides should be a little longer than
the rest. so that it covers the ears and
curls forward on the cheek. Two wide
shallow waves may be put into the
bang. The back hair may be semi
shingIed and brushed smooth against

The fourth couture has a low part
on one side. The hair is MARCHED
with high wave on top. The ends OF
| front hair are curled under and then
| combed out so that they form a cloud
/ Of ringlets at the side of the face and
! over the ears. The back hair is folded

neck.

Cream of Chicken Soup.

This soup has for it's foundation
the broth in which the poorer sec
tons OF the chicken simmered for
two hours or longer. Then it is
strained and allowed to cool. Just
before serving time, two tablespoon
fuls of butter and two tablespoon
fuls of flour are creamed together
and cooked to smooth paste, then
the broth, about three cupfuls, is
added with one cupful of rich milk
or cream. The liquid is then cooked
until smooth and slightly thickened,
when it is seasoned nicely with salt,
pepper and paprika and just a little
mace. The soup should then be
served in bouillon cups with toasted
crackers.

To her polite inquiry about Mans

Alicia smiled as she bent over her
plate. She had always adored his
pride, and she adored it no less now
than she had in the past. Some day
she would enjoy breaking down that
pride. He deserved it for being so
blind when she had taken so much

CHAPTER XLVII.
Spinning the Web.

The morning following the theater
party Alicia lay back upon huge pill
lows in her bed at the Gilmore.
Her breakfast tray was on the table
beside the bed. She was still slipping
her coffee and reading the morning
paper.
Alicia didn't look her twenty-nine
years. Her blue eyes, under pale
brows delicately arched, were radiantly
bright. Her red-gold hair billowed
across the pillow, emitting sparks of
gold wherever the sun struck it.
Suddenly she threw down the paper,
and, twisting her body around COM
fortably, went to thinking.
She had known quite we'll that Mar.
tin hadn't wanted to marry her in the
old days when she had first known
him. She had tried to make him think
he did, but he had never been the
slightest bit serious.
Now things were different, He was
miserably unhappy, and he was quite
obviously married to the wrong kind
of woman. Alicia had been amazed at
the dexterity with which she had van.
quished Nan, reducing her to silence.
Mans headache had, of course, been
only an excuse.
1t was Alicia's way with men, and
she was nearly always successful. Her
personality fairly swept them away.
But with Martin she had failed That
is. in the past she had failed! Now
things were different. The fates might
be kinder to her. Was there a chance
for her with Martin if she played her
cards carefully?
She stretched her long body in a
graceful catlike manner, bringing
every sinew into play. She yawned
delightfully."-. showing perfect teeth.
And all the while her busy brain was
registering facts.
1t was true that Martins wife was
pretty. That is, she had even features
and her face was nicely modelled. That
sweep OF hair across her forehead was
rather nice, too. But she was out of
place, and the poor child knew it. If
but here the telephone broke in on her
thoughts, and she leaned over to lift
the receiver from the hook.
"Oh. yes, Martin; how nice of you
to call ME. Lunch? Why. I've only
just finished breakfast. If you can
make it late enough, perhaps, III

She hung up. feeling that she had

| as she had her bath and she hummed
as she dressed.
And all the while her busy brain
went on working. 1t wasn't as il Mar.
TINS wife were happy, and certainly
he wasn't. They were obviously mis-
mated. Martin had probably married
her out of chivalry. And vet, as the
memory of Mans lovely little face
drifted across Alicia's consciousness
she couldn't quite make herself be-
lieve this. Therefore, she deliberately
catpulted her thoughts into another
direction.

Tapioca, as you probably know, is
part OF the root of a plant which
grows in the West Indies. cheese
roots are sometimes three inches or
more thick, and the clusters of roots
are several feet long. The roots are
washed, and after the rind is taken
off they are ground so that when the
