again she ordered chicken salad"
The cartoonists have made chicken
salad national byword, through pok-
ing fun at the inexperienced young
girl who does not know exactly what
to choose on the restaurant menu,
with its French names for ordinary
dishes and sauces she never heard of.
Nevertheless, to order chicken salad
shows common sense in more ways
than one. At its best chicken salad
is one Of the most delicious dishes
one can get anywhere. Even in res
taurant of no special distinction it will
be one of the most satisfactory orders,
for the method of making it is widely
understood and the chief ingredients
cooked chicken, celery, lettuce and
salad dressing-are obtainable almost
anywhere.
There are a few points about put
ting chicken salad together, however,
that make all the difference between
well-favored and indifferently fla
vored results. One is the slight sug-
gestion Of onion flavor in the vinegar.

Evening Fairy Tale for Children
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

1t was a small piece but it was ex-
tremely good!
Lefty learned to say almost every
thing after a while. My, what a talker
she became.
And she wanted to show Alice how
pleased she was with everything so
she chatted pleasantly most of the
time
When callers would come they would
ask if the parrot was ever still, and
then Lefty would say:
"Ever still? No, never STILL"
They always laughed then, and did
not mind her chattering. For after
they had been there little while Let
ty muttered and said things in very
low tones so as not to disturb any
one
1t was night time and Lefty had her
head under her wing. Sometimes she
slept this way, just as canary would
sleep.
But often she would huddle up on
her perch and doze off with her head
cropping down ltLle on ner CHEST.
But this night she was sound, sound
alseep and her head was hidden away
while she was dreaming Of seeds
and cake and all the goodies that par
rots love.
All of the family were asleep when
Lefty seemed to notice something
strange.
She didn't like the smell that came
to her. Now she was wide awake.
She didn't want to disturb the fami-
ly. She was good parrot, and never
disturbed any one who might be sleep
ing.
But this she knew was not right
She was sure of it.
The smell became stronger and there
was something rather frightful about
it.

a small quantity of water. When
about half done, add teaspoonful OF
salt. Let the chicken cool in the broth.
After it is cold remove the skin, strip
the meat from the bones and cut ii i'll
to small pieces of even size. In the
meantime allow a few slices of onion
to soak in a cupful of mild vinegar to
give the vinegar a slight onion flavor
Remove a cupful of chicken fat from
the cold broth and mix with this via
egar. Pour this mixture over the
chicken, adding more salt and vinegar
if needed to season it well. A few
drops of tabasco improve it. Let this
stand, or marinate, for several hours.
or overnight. Cut the celery stalks
and some of the tender leaves into
small pieces and let stand in cold
place until crisp. Mix enough thick,
well-seasoned mayonneise dressing
with the chicken to coat the pieces
well. Shortly before the salad is to
be served, add the celery and more
mayonnaise if needed. Stir the mix
ture lightly so as not to break up the
chicken. Add still more salt If need
ed. Pile the salad lightly on crisp let
tuce and serve at once.
If desired, add one-quarter cupful OF
capers when the celery and chicken
are combined Hard-cooked eggs may
be used as garnish or cut in pieces
and mixed with the chicken to make
it 60 further.

Several good results are obtained by
teaching children, from the earliest
age, to feed themselves and take part
in such activities as laying their own
places and carrying food to and from
the table. They soon learn. also. to
help mother by setting the table for
many meals and putting away silver
and other clean utensils and dishes
after meals.
The most important effect of en-
couraging selfh help at meal times is Of
course on the child himself. He de-
velops steadiness in his muscles and
self-confidence as he gradually be-
comes able to manage a plate, or
glass, or tray containing both, without
spilling anything. The little boy in
this picture from the bureau of home
economics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture is only three,
and he has reached a point where he
can safely carry his own lunch from

If he does spill little food on a wash
able tray? He can learn not to with a

of cereal, or a plate of vegetables.
The first time he carries his entire
lunch without spilling a drop, he needs
little praise; he will try to do it as
well every time.
A child as young as fifteen months
can be given his own spoon and fork
to fit his small hands, and a chance to
practice eating. Feeding himself will
be slow, awkward, and spilly at first,

to save time and muss by taking the

PenciLP Painting on Stamped Linen

in most all fancy work departments
for this type of work.
Besides wall hangers depicting vari-
Gus scenes, linen pictures cat be had
for framing, also pillow tops. How
ever. now that interior decorators
have in this day and age revived the
vogue for wall hangers and are plac-
ing so much emphasis on their effec-
tiveness. we selected this very pretty
specimen as moSt timely theme.
The idea in brief is that by moisten-
ing the linen and working with the
colored pencils according to the
printed chart which comes with each
subject the tones and tints resolve
themselves into most exquisite wa
ter-color effect.
Materials for this work include
small brush, a box of colored pencils,
the stamped linen piece (every pat
tern has a chart attached giving the
color scheme) also material for lining.
The first step is to dip the brush in
water and moisten small portion Of
the design. Then work over with the
pencils using the chart as color
guide. The little panel centered in the
illustration indicates this chart in
miniature. On the original. tiny let.
tiers are printed "B" for black. "Y"
for yellow and letters in combination
when two colors are to be blended.
To make stronger effect the pencil
itself is dipped in water.

Ice box rolls are another special
than can be mixed and left in the ice
chest for a week. Take off just the
amount needed for rolls and put them
to rise; when light, bake. A tin of
delicious rolls are quickly served. An
nOur or two before baking make them
into small rolls and keep very warm,
tightly covered. 1t is better to grease
them well with lard-that keeps the
flour from drying out on top while
rising. They should be more than
double their bulk when put into the
oven.
When baking potatoes prepare
enough so that the next day a few
will be available for cream potatoes.
They are fully as good as those fresh

Lemon Has Variety of
Uses in ANY Household
Ey CHERIE NICHOLAS

The lemon has variety of uses in
the household aside from that of food.
A slice of lemon kept near the sink
in the kitchen is useful for removing
fruit and vegetable stains from the
hands, and helps to keep them smooth
and soft.
A half lemon placed in the washing
machine makes the laundry beautifully
white.
Lemon juice and salt rubbed on an
iron-scOrched spot on white garments,
then placed in the sun, will remove
the spot.
1t is excellent as a dentifrice, and
makes refreshing mouth wash.
USED in the bath it softens the wa
ter and gives a delightful feeling of
freshness and exhiliration.
Lemon juice is healing to small
sores or cuts, even though the first
sensation may not be so pleasant.

Vegetable Fritters With
Cold Sliced Meat

Nothing like crisp vegetable fritters
as an addition to plate of cold sliced
meat Of any sort. The bureau of
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture tells how
to make celery fritters:
IL cups sifted soft / egg
wheat -four ! cup milk
y tsp. salt 2 cups chopped
tsp. baking pow celery
der I tbs. melted fat
Sift together the flour, salt. and bak-
ing powder, add the beaten egg, milk,
celery, and fat. Fry the celery frit-
ters in deep fat or, If preferred, in a
skillet in shallow fat. In either case
drop the mixture by spoonfuls into
the fat and fry rather slowly. The
fritters need time to cook through to
the center before the outside becomes
too brown. Drain the fritters on alb
sorbent paper and serve hot.

Vary the Way of Cooking
Winter Vegetables

Winter vegetables need not become
monotonous if one takes pains to vary
the way they are cooked. Here's q
combination of two good foods that
can be found in every country stor-
age cellar and on any grocer's counter
in the country. Yet, when put together
they make tasty dish that seems like
something new. This is an excellent
accompaniment to roast pork or roast
beef-in fact, to any meat dish which
gains SAVIOR by the addition of cooked
apples. The bureau of home econom-
les Of the United States Department
of Agriculture enumerates the ingredi-
entS needed:
medium-sized car 2 tbs. fat
rots / tbs sugar
8 tart apples Il tsp. salt
Scrape the carrots and cut them
lengthwise into thin slices. Pare the
apples or leave the skin on, as pre-
ferred, core, and cut into slices about
a fourth of an inch thick. Place a
single layer of the apples and the
carrots in large skillet with the fat.
cover tightly and cook until well
Drowned, turn and brown the other
side. Just before the cooking is fin
ished sprinkle with the sugar and salt.
Serve on a hot platter, first layer of
carrots, then a layer of apples, so the
two can be lifted together.
