Choice Of New Articles.
In the selection of new furniture
the points to be considered are: Its
function or use; its construction or
design and its relation to the room
and to the other furnishings. Such
chairs should be selected as will prove
to be strong. comfortable seats. Ia
bles should be firm and we'll made.
Bureaus. cupboards, cabinets and such
things should be adequate and be sup
piled with smoothly running drawers
or we'll hung doors. Good springs and
padding often add to the comfort of
chair or couch.
Furniture should harmonic with
the woodwork of the room. The furni-
ture of living room, on account of
its more constant and varied use.
should usually be more substantial than
that of bedroom. A new piece of
furniture should be selected with ref
erence to the other furnishings When
selecting materials for upholstery the
same general considerations for color
and pattern apply as for draperies.
While any material that will not fade
will usually stand the wear that comes
to hangings, the wearing qualities of
materials to be used in upholstery
need to be taken into account.

Old American Dishes
Are Worth Preserving

Just because your Polish cook can
make cake chiefly consisting of nuts
and butter don't fail to teach her how
to make good old-fashioned chocolate
layer cake. Just because your Hun
garian cook can make a delicious egg
noodle, don't fail to teach her how to
make plain, old-fashioned American ap-
pie pie. Just because your cook from
some other spot on the Continent can
TO- teach her to make smothered and
fried chicken in the Southern style.
Don't let the ability to make English
pound cake or French rolls take the
place of an ability to make good New
England bread or Virginia corn mullins
All these old-fashioned American good
things of the table are worth having on
our own tables. We may take what we
like from France, the mother of good
cookery doubtless, but we should keep
our own best traditions in cookery. The
native American food has proved that
it is wholesome and palatable. OF
course, pie eaten too often Is not the
best diet imaginable, though the other
day a man made the statement that

sively confined to this delicacy.
Crullers, pork and beans, cornbread,
ice-cream soda, even fried chicken,
are not good in excess. But nothing is
good in excess, not even bread and milk

are these:

BY SALLIE MONROE.

Not long ago somebody lamented the
| fact that old-fashioned American cook
ing was disappearing from the menus
OF the big hotels and restaurants. He
took this fact to'indicate that old-fash-
Toned American cooking was disappear
ing from the face Of the land entirely.
| Is it true? Does the individual home
go in for Continental cooking, as the
hotels and restaurants do?
OF course, there Is a large part of the
American population that recently has
been transplanted from the Continent.
Naturally they cook the food of their
forefathers to large extent. The
cheaper lunch places cater to their
taste in food and furnish dishes to their
taste-pickled fish, sour cream, strange
combinations Of macaroni, pastries that
neither the old South nor New England
would have recognized.
Equally, of course, we have adopted
some of the Continental dishes, some
of the Continental food tendencies-and
to very good advantage. Italys contri-
button of macaroni to our staples,
Frances gift of crisp-crusted rolls, the
general Continental habit of dressing
salads with Oil. the delicious and whole
some so-calleq Danish pastries-these
things are all good and welcome addi-
tions to our American diet. But where
there are not good bakeries there are
not Danish pastries and crusty rolls.
Macaroni and, fortunately, addressed
salads, have gone into the home kitchen.
But just how far has the invasion OF
foreign cookery gone? It would need
long and painstaking research to find
out. Doesn't the second generation of
middle Europeans in this country eat as
much ice cream as do the descendants
OF Jamestown's and ProvincetoWn's first
settlers? Aren't the grandchildren of
Italian and Portuguese, Czech and Pol
iSh immigrants as fond of crullers and
pancakes and sirup as are the grand
children of American reSidents?.
1t would be interesting to know.
Surely on warm day all the ice-cream
soda fountains in the country are rushed
with business. and among their patrons
appear those of all sorts of foreign
blood. And in the Great War Americans
of recent foreign ancestry took crullerS
from the Salvation Army girls quite as
hungrily as did Americans Of old
descent.
How about yourself?
Do you make a speciality of the best
OF the American dishes of old repute?
Do you train your cooks to do this?
Occasionally We have cook of for
eign birth and training who can give
us some very good pointers about cook
ing some particular dish. But We
shouldn't lose track of the dishes that
have proved suitable for Americans for
generations.

haven't the courage to come right out
and say so in print.
I do believe normal baby who en-
joys plain. sensible feeding, such as this
mother suggests, needs no cod liver oil,
But puny and poorly fed infants and
those who get little or no direct sun
shine on naked skin, often benefit from
few drops of plain cod liver oil, per-
haps given mixed with any fresh fruit
or vegetable juice. from the age of
month up to the end of the first year.
Specifically. this prevents ricketts, and
probably helps the infant to develop a

to say, Do they possess any special food
value that cannot be better supplied by
rice or macaroni? Would you advise
going on having potatoes every day in
the usual manner? M. v. D."
Potatoes are of great value in the diet
They are cheap source of energy, and
may be served in so many different ways
that one does not quickly tire of them.
They are rich in certain beneficial min
erals, and are alkaline rather than acid
in their reaction. The disadvantage of
potatoes is that they sometimes form
the mainstay of diet in connection with
meat and bread and butter and sweet
desserts. When plenty of green vege-
tables, fruits and salads are also in
Guided in the diet there is no reason
why potatoes should not be served every
day.
