Coffee Three Ways

Here are three methods for max
ing good coffee. Take your choice.
For each method use two level la
blespoons of coffees for measuring
cup of water; and measure both
carefully-do not guess.
Boiled Coffee
To make boiled coffee use the de-
sired amount of coffee, medium
fine, pour on the correct measure
of cold water, boil for three minutes
and then let stand for 10 minutes
on an asbestos mat, or elsewhere, to
keep below the boiling point. Turn
carefully from the grounds and
serve. Crushed egg shell may be
mixed with the coffee before adding
the water.
Percolated Coffee
For percolated coffee, put coffee
which is more finely ground, in the
top of the percolator and freshly
boiled water in the bottom. Let pei
colate for seven minutes.
Drip Coffee
For this the coffee should be
ground as fine as powdered sugar
ulilCSo that Happens W NC "a ahNeiS W.
fine for the filter in the particular
drip coffee pot one has. Heat the
coffee preferably of non-metal
place the coffee in the upper COM
partment or filter, and pour the fresh
rapidly boiling water through the
coffee. After the water has all drip
ped through, serve at once, or set In
hot water or some other place to
keep hot but below the boiling point.
This is quite generally considered the
superior method.
If you have not drip coffee pot
you may line a sieve or strainer
which fits the top with piece OF
unbleached muslin. Put in the cof'
fee, pour on the water and cover
while the coffee is dripping.
Find brand of coffee which you
like and grind it as needed or buy
in small quantities freshly ground
for coffee deteriorates and loses its
delicate aroma rapidly after grind
ing. Keep in an air-tight container

Helpful Hints
Attractive Salad

Attractive Salad
Arrange three lettuce leaves on each
salad plate, with stems meeting in
the center. In one put whole small
strawberries, in the second sections
of orange free from skin or mem
brane, in the third place balls of
cream cheese about the size of
strawberries, rolled in chopped nuts.
Serve with French cream dressing.

Dear Miss White: / am but 20
and already girl sets me wild with
admiration. There are two girls who
just came over from a small town
the youngest, who is is, attracts me
quite bit. She smiles and does not
seem to want TO talk much with me.
Still when / take her out she always
wants the other girl with her.
Now | don't think that should
take the other one along, as l ad.
mire only the one. How could ]
gain her affections? She only
speaks when | take her out, other
wise she is dumb. She's in my mind
night and day. She likes dancing
and when | told her that l didn't
dance but like the movies she said
she's really sorry she learned how to
dance.
Now here's my problem: The end
of this week she is going with her
girl friend to a dance. Is asking the
one l like to go out with me, while
the other one looks on, very crude
The other night when they came over
to the house they seemed to make
fun of the motion pictures which they
know | like and said nothing to me
all evening. Do you think | should
have anything to do with her? Please
| advise me, as ] love her.
Is it right. that a girl doesn't act
chummy until she has gone out sew
eral times with you? As for speak
ing love, petting, etc., would it b,
advisable to do so or talk abou
any of these things when one is JUS
getting acquainted, or is it advisabl,
to wait and, if SO, how long?
Is once or twice a week sufficien
in taking girl out? I'll be waitinj
patiently for your answer. If tn
letter is too long please print tn,
answer. I'll sign as they call me,
REX.
1t is perfectly all right to ask tn
girl you want to go out with yo,
without asking the other girl. Yo,
are not under the slightest obligation
to take both girls. 1t might be polio,
for you to do so, however. VIII,
don't you take them both out nov
and then till you get we'll acquaint
ed? The younger girl is evidentl
very bashful and is afraid to go ou
with you alone, because she is afrai
f, she won't beRable to think of any
thing to say to you. When you ar
better acquainted you can ask tn
girl you like better to go with yo
alone. By that time she probabl
won't be afraid. When you tax
them both out l think it would b
wen to treat them both alike so yo
won't make the older girl feel ur
comfortable. But you must trea
them both as good friends and moth
ing more. When you take the younf
The Enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 192?-1930, 1928-08-30

er girl out alone, think you would
be wise to omit the love making and
petting and all that kind of thing.
If you start that you will probably
scare her and make her think you are
just a promiscuous peter. ! suggest
that you treat her like a good friend
and pal and not like a sweetheart
till the time comes when you arc
ready to tell her that you care for
her and want to marry her. That
time may never come as you are both
young and can't tell what will de-
velop in the next few years. hope
you won't think of being engaged till
you are at least 81, and it would be
better if you wait till you are 2S or
"a.
Dumb Dora: Yes indeed. I re-
member you and I'm glad to hear
from you again. You ought not to
marry the young man unless you
have the assurance of a good and
reputable doctor that it is all right
to do so-that is to say, that he is
perfectly well. Have the doctor ex-
plain everything to you very care
fully. Pm glad the boy wants to go
straight now and | hope he will stick
to that idea no matter what happens.
But If he loves you he wont want to
bring any unhappiness or misery to
you If you decide that you ought
not to marry him, ! think you should
give up seeing each other, because ii
would only make it harder for you
in the end, This is only another ex-
ample of the truth that the reason
the straight way is the right way is
because Il is the only way that pays
! in the end.
Senorita: A great many girls have
your trouble-they can't think Of
anything to say when they want to
! keep up q conversation. There are
two things for you to do. First
! try to make conversation by findinn
out what the other person is interest
ed in. Then talk about that. The
other thing you can do is to make
notes of things that interest YOU
Don't try to decide what would in
terest other people-simply max,
notes on everything that interest
you yourself. Jot these notes dow
in book every night. These note
can be about all kinds of things
what you read in a newspaper, wha
you hear and what you think. Thel
before you go out anywhere glanc,
over your notes. One trouble witt
you is that you can't think of tn,
thing you want at the right time
You have plenty of things in you
head to talk about, but you can't ge
at them when you want them. Prob
ably you often remember afterward
something that you might have said
Your notebook will help you to re
member before instead of after. =
wonder if you are thoughtful of tn
other girls and if you try to add t
their pleasure as much as you car
Or are you wondering all the tim
what they are thinking of you? Sur
pose you try for one week not t
think about yourself at all but simI
ly to see how many things you ca
do and how many things you ca
say that will help or cheer up some
body else. You know everybody
looking for friends. The way t
make yourself wanted is to be
friend. Try it and then write m
and tell me how it works.
