Rules for Vegetable Meals

must be obtained by the liberal use of
butter, oils and cream. Milk, cheese
and eggs should have large place In
the preparation Of vegetable meals;
they supply added protein, and are
among our most nutritious foods. !
In planning meals without meat, see
to it that they contain some of each
Of the classes of foods mentioned. But
more than this Is necessary, for no mat
ter how nutritious meal may be, 1t
must also be well cooked, and pleasing
TO the eye and palate in order to be en-
joyable.. And it Is a well known fact
that most of us eat only those foods
that appeal to us. Select from the
group Of vegetables those that offer
good contrasts In color and favor. Never
serve, for instance, caulidower and cab
bage on the same vegetable plate. They
are both excellent foods, both belong to
the so-called green vegetable type, but
they are too much alike In color and
flavor to, be appetizing when served
together.
The texture Of the various vegetables
should also be factor In determining
the combinations to be served. Braised
celery. has a slight crispness that is
agreeable when served with soft vege-
tables. Brussels sprouts are firm enough
to contrast with creamed vegetable
or with mashed potatoes.
The planning of vegetable meals Is
not difficult, but it does require some
thought.

at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Recently
they were brought to Fort McHenry,
from which they were ordered to WASH

were taken. by about 100 men from, Gov

The two companies, upon their ar

in front of the building lately occupied
by the Misses Boxer as q Young Ladies'
Seminary, on e street, where Company
K will be quartered.

While plans are going forward for
the Inauguration Of Abraham Lincoln
as President of the United States on
March 4 next. efforts are being con-
tinued, especially by the leading men
of the border States. to bring about a
compromise between the slaveholding
and free States In the hope Of prevent
ing q severance TT the Union. These
who favor a conciliatcry attitude on
both sides profess to have information
that Mr.. Lincoln Is not opposed to q
compromise plan. In order to avert the
threatened national crisis, II a way can
be found that will not be a complete
denial of the anti-slavery principles 'of
the Republican platform upon which he
was elected to the presidency.

Planning a Weeks Food

An increasing supply of fresh veqe-
tables and q drop In the price of eggs
makes the planning Of meals a little
easier than 1t has been for those to
whom economy in buying must be the
watchWord. Eggs can be used more
plentifully IN cooking and can be served
more often for breakfast or other meals.

little touch Of variation that makes this
particular fruit salad different from any

plain green's or raw vegetables offer one
Of the best means Of Insurance against
That tired feeling that is so often the
aftermath OF the Winter months. The
minerals and vitamins present in this
class OF foods keep the system toned up
and IN better condition.
Some form of salad should be used at
ieast once day. BY. varying the COM
nlnations or the dressings, or both, thew
need never become monotonous.
On Sunday morning we use baked
sausage with griddle cakes and omit
cereal. The griddle cakes supply enough
starch, and as they should be mixed
with milk. they can occasionally be
served to take the place of the cereal.
You VIII save yourself lots of suffering
rat by baking the sausages instead Of
trying them; they seldom burst when
cooked IN this way, and have q better
navor. Prick them with a fork, place
IN a baking pan and bake In q hot oven
about 40 to as minutes.
Baked ham Is planned for dinner on
Tuesday night. This may be either O
thick slice, II the family Is small, or q
half ham, II the family Is larger. In
buying half ham, some people prefer
the butt end, which is the thick one,
while others prefer the string end. The
latter has smaller amount of bone.
but cannot be sliced to the very end as
readily as the butt end. The remnants

shall she see any public show, nor shall
she laugh, nor shall she dress herself in
jewels and fine clothes, nor shall see
dancing hear music, nor shall she sit In

behold anything choice or vain, but
shall fasten well the house door and
remain private, and shall not eat any
dainty victuals, and shall not blacken
her eyes with eye powder, and shall not
view her face in mirror; she shall
never exercise herself in any agreeable
employment during the absence Of her

There are few forms Of entertaining
that provide such pleasant informal
hospitality as Sunday night suppers.
Many modern hostesses keep open house
on this night, and let it be known that
their friends are always welcome to
drop In for the meal. For such SupperS
menus should be simple.
The dining room table should be
daintily set and the room lighted with
candles or other soft lights. There is
something about candle light that ap-
peals to most people, and as 1t Is such
simple thing to provide, the wonder Is
it Is not used more often. If there are
many guests it Is generally simpler to
serve the meal buffet style. The food
Is placed on the table, the guests help
themselves and take their plates to
small tables placed in the dining or liv-
ing room. When only a few people are
TO be served, 1t is best to use the dining
room table.
Almost every family has few favor
lite dishes that are reserved for Sun

the family have q specially which they

popular. One hot dish, relish, crisp
salad and some form Of sweet, either a
layer cake, q whipped cream roll, cream
puffs, tarts or gelatine whip, should
make up the menu. In hot weather q
heartier salad, one of the cold jellied
foods or cold sliced meat, may take the
place Of a hot dish. Little hot biscuits,
dainty mullins or rolls add an appetiz-
ing touch, and tea or coffee, or both,
should always be provided. Service
should be of the simplest, as the object
is to do away with any tinge Of for
mality.
While such entertaining is simple,
nevertheless it entails some planning
and thought on the part of the hostess
to keep things running smoothly. The
menu should be planned the day be-
fore, and everything should be in readi-
ness. If hot hufiins or biscuits are to
be served, these may be mixed in the
morning, put in the pans and placed
in the Ice box until the time comes to
cook them.
Often 1t Is preferable to cook the hot
food in chafing dish. II this Is to be
done, all the necessary ingredients
should be put together on tray so that
they can be used without confusion.

The popularity Of vegetable dinners
continues to grow, and because so many
people have asked the right combina-
tons Of foods to use In them, and how
to plan them, am going to give again
what might be called the foundation
rules that should be kept In mind by
those who plan this type Of meal.
First, Of all it must be remembered
that In planning any vegetable meal
just as much care is needed as when
meat is used: more, In fact. as such
preparation must include q knowledge
OF the combinations that win supply
the protein when meat Is lacking.
Vegetables may be divided into three
classes. The first includes those which
are rich IN protein and may be used
alone as substitutes for meat. These are
beans, dried peas and lentils. While
nuts cannot rightly be classed as vege-
tables, they might be grouped with these
as . source Of protein for vegetable
meals. The second class of vegetables is
made up Of the starchy ones and with
these we might include the cereals.
They are necessary for body fuel. The
third class Is made up Of all the green
vegetables that are SO necessary as n
source Of minerals and vitamins.
Vegetable meals must contain q good
supply OF portein or body building food,

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, February L.
Ronald Colman's slightest gesture Is
worth headline. Jack Gilbert's fads
and fancies, especially In things femi-
nine, intrigue the entire world. If Lupe
Velez bursts into Mexican temperament,
the fracas invariably blooms in type.
Alice White appears twice with the
same escort, and another Hollywood ro-
nance Is heralded.
So live the people on one side Of the
fence. They are the officers in the
army OF moviedom. But thousands Of
privates-the poor and unknown who
make up the rank and file Of the per-
sonnel-come and 60, laugh and cry
and live and die practically unnoted.
A young woman was dashed into
eternity few days ago while making
parachute jump for movie thriller.
The brief paragraph which recorded the
tragedy said 1t was her 146th Jump,
that she and her husband did stunt
work together. and had been one Of
the most successful teams in the movie.
Her name doesn't matter. You

motion pictures and motion picture
people are my business. She was a
double. When The heroine leaps from
the blazing plane with the papers which
mean life or death to the hero, to q
nation and to an audience she was the
girl who did it under the name Of the
leading lady. She wore a blond wig,
or a brunette wig, or long Titan curls,
as the case might be. And in the
dizzy flash Of her taken from some 20
feet away just before she did her stunt
you'd never have known the difference.
She riSked her life for $15 a fav for
leading lady who got $500 q week
to take the credit. Part of the SIS went
to the purchase of q tiny bungalow.
No tinted dreams Of life as q great star
with q world at her feet crossed her
imagination or made luminous the gray
morning hours when she rose to hurry
out to location.
ANY day the earning of that SIS
meant flirting with the death which
