so attractive, though the flavor and
texture should be fairly good. The
flavor of old rhubarb is apt to be
strong; when it is to be used the adj
dition of one or two pieces of lemon
or orange peel to the stems as they
cook is an improvement.
Wash and trim stalks of rhubarb,
being careful not to remove the pink
skin. Cut into half-inch pieces and
place in granite pan. Add one cup
full water for each pound of rhubarb.
Cook until tender, then strain through
four thicknesses of cheesecloth. There
should be about one and one-quarter
cupfuls of juice for each pound of
rhubarb.
Add six tablespoonful Of lemon
pectin extract and one and one-quar-
ter cupfuls of sugar for each cupful of
rhubarb juice, and boil. The ordinary
jelly test cannot always be depended
upon in the case of rhubarb, particu-
larly if the stalks are not very young
and tender, because there are certain
gummy substances present which
cause the hot juice to sheet from the
edge of the spoon, but which do not
assist in making q jelly.

Good LinoIeun,

Linoleum is one of the best and
most serviceable of all coverings for
floors in kitchens, pantries and bath
rooms, and is being more and more
widely used in combination with tex
tile rugs in all the rooms of the house.
It wears we'll, is easily cleaned, is
impervious to grease and water spots,
and has smooth resilient surface
comfortable to walk and stand on.
There are three general types of
!inoleum on the market, according to
the United States Department of Ag'
riculture: Plain, inlaid, and printed
The plain, as the name implies, has nc
design and gives the floor an unob
trusive fiat appearance that is restful
and pleasing, and the good grades are
extremely durable.

well and strain through sieve again.
Cool and pack in mold placed in ice

Pear and Chocolate Mousee.-Take
one cupful Of cooked pear pulp, add
one cupful Of sugar and tablespoon
full Of lemon juice and bit Of grated
rind. Melt two squares of bitter
chocolate to one cupful Of whipped
cream, add the pear pulp, a bit of salt,
mix we'll with one-half cupful Of pear
juice and pack in ice in mold. Let
stand three to four hours. The sugar
is best added to the cream after
whipping, as it holds up better.
Almond Acorns.-Blanch the de-
sired amount Of almonds and dry
well. Dip each tip, coating them two
thirds of the way up in sweet melted
dipping chocolate. Dip them imme-
diately into chopped pistachio nuts
and place on waxed paper to dry.
Chocolate Prunes.-Wash and soak
overnight large fine prunes. Bring
to the boiling point, remove and
drain. Remove the pits and allow
the prunes to dry. Fill each prune
with sailed pecan meat and dip in
melted chocolate. Let stand until
we'll dried, then wrap in waxed paper.
French Dates.-Stone large dates
and steam them for five minutes.
When cool stuff them with fondant.
Cut pistachio nut meats into halves
and press two or three pieces into
the fondant of each date so that the
meats show.
Danish Hash.-There should be to
begin this dish cupful Of rich brown
gravy left over from the day before.
Take one cupful each of diced cold
boiled potatoes, apple, cold meat and
onion to taste. Heat a tablespoonful

CHOP SUEY MAKES
V.a EXCELLENT DISH
Tasty Combination Closely
Resembling the
Real Dish.

(Prepared by the Bureau of Home Economics.
United States Department Of Agricuture.)
A great many people like the CHI
nese dish called chop suey, but be-
cause of the difficulty of getting GER
tain of the Ingredients, except in very
large cities where there are a good
many Chinese, they do not attempt to
duplicate the dish at home. The bu-
reau of home economics has worked
out very tasty and appetizing COM
bination of foods obtainable almost
everywhere that closely resembles the
real chop suey in flavor, and makes
an excellent "one-piece" dinner or
luncheon. 1t can also be used as a
novelty for evening refreshments
where something substantial is want
ed, or for gatherings such as church
suppers or community meetings, where
a little discussion Of an unusual dish
helps to get people started in So
cable manner. Soy sauce, the only
strictly Chinese ingredient called for,
is sold by many grocers in bottles as
worcestershire sauce is sold. Indeed,
If it proves quite impossible to get the
soy sauce about half as much worces-
ter shire sauce may be used with
good effect, although the flavor will
be somewhat altered. Here are the
directions for making the chop suey:
1 lb. lean pork tbs. soy sauce
cups h ded 2 tbs. fat
onion to liz tsp. SALT
cups celery shred depending upon
ded amount Of salt
green pepper. in sauce
shredded tsp. cornstarch
2 cups meat broth / tbs. cold water
cups sliced Brazil
nuts or Jerusalem
artichoke
Cover the pork with hot water and
simmer until tender. When cool shred
the meat, brown lightly in skillet in
one tablespoonful Of fat. Remove the
meat and add the pepper and onion
with the rest of the fat and cook for
three or four minutes. Add the cell
cry, salt, meat broth, cover and sim
mer for five minutes. Mix the corn
starch and water until smooth and
stir into the mixture. Then add the
nuts or artichoke. Add the soy sauce
in sufficient quantity to give the de-
sired flavor, and more salt if neces-
sary. Serve with hot flaky rice.

they never broke 1t to any of you that
I'd backed out. Well, came over
to America In the utmost ignorance of
everything I should have known;
rather expecting to take Hollywood
by storm feeling quite condescend-
ing in offering my talents (Which ]
myself greatly admired) to the Amer
lean managers; and not knowing that
Hollywood was three thousand miles
from New York. Fortunately, I
learned a few needful facts on the
way over. My deck chair happened
to be next to a young American wom-
an who had been country teacher.
She told me all about herself-how
she had gone over in June with the
student-teacher excursion and had met
and fallen in love with man on the
ship. young college professor. AS
soon as they'd landed at Plymouth,
they'd gotten married, Travelled all
summer and were now on their way
home. She told me the first thing
she'd got to do when she got home
was to send In her resignation to the
country school she was to have taught
If she had not met her fate and gotten
married. When she mentioned the
state, county and township where she
was to have taught, recognized them
as the address of the Creightons.
Next thing l was telling her my story;
and when she learned how little money
had, she was appalled,; and when
she told me Hollywood was three
thousand miles from New York and
that 1t took five days and five hundred
dollars to get there, I was panic
stricken. So we fixed up plot. Her
parents home was in Reading, Penn
sylvania, and her husband and she
were going there until his college
opened. She invited me to go home
with them and she would give me her
normal school diploma and lend
me the use Of her name, Amelia
Schwenckton (now no longer her
name), and could go and appropri-
ate her school for a few months, until
I'd saved enough to go to Hollywood.
"She was really a young woman of
quite feverish imagination, do as
sure you. Her Schwenckton relatives
had never seen her (they're very dis
family related) so could pass myself

USE RHUBARB FOR
GOOD TART JELLY
Useful When Young and
Tender and of Mild
Flavor. y,

prepared by the Bureau of Home Economics,
United States Department of Agriculture)
When very young tender rhubarb
of mild flavor is in season, some of
1t can be used to make good tart Jelly.
1t will be necessary to add pectin,
either homemade, or commercial, to
the rhubarb juice, to make a firm
product. There are two kinds Of
pectin, apple and lemon, and the lat
ter is the better to use with rhubarb.
Select rhubarb stalks with very lit
tie green color. Red skin may be
added, to improve the color of the
juice. The jelly should have bright
red color, and an acid, but otherwise
mild flavor. If made with lemon
pectin it should be clear and trans

not care for sweet vegetables this
dish is most acceptable to those who
enjoy parsnips. Slice in shoe-string

of the vegetable is preserved in this
manner of cooking and is particular

Fashions for World

That Paris Is sending fashion ex-
perts to Hollywood in order to keep
pace with the new styles instituted by
the "movie'' stars Is pointed out by
Campbell MacCulloch in an article in
Liberty Magazine.
A woman, who is said to possess
more intimate knowledge Of Holly
wood fashions than anyone else in
the cinema capital, told MacCulloch,
"Paris frequently trails Hollywood
when it comes to modes, and the big
French designers make few bones
about it-among themselves. They're

ability is mistaken for laziness.
 The child who is not capable oi carrying on the work is likely to become indifferent after repeated failures. He gets no satisfaction from his work and therefore puts all his attention on the things that interest him and which give him satisfaction.
 Investigate Laziness
 Children respond to their en- vironment and feel their emotions more greatly than do most adults. The child who appears to be lazy cannot be cured by force. punish ment, ridicule. or humiliation.
 Laziness as a symptom demands the most careful investigation. First, the child must be complete ly studied to exclude as a cause subacute infections of the tonsils and adenoids. decayed and infect ed teeth, bad hearing and vision, and intestional disorders.
 Next, its mental capacity must be determined by psychologist ex- aminations.
 Finally, study should be made of it's relationships to health and of its general emotional attitude toward life.
