creamed or all Of them mashed.
II you favor fluffy mashed po-
tatoes-and they are hard to
beat!-be sure to see also that
your carrots are cut in long thin
slivers and simmered golden
brown in butter, that your to-
matoes are baked a jolly deep red.
and that your string beans are
scalloped in cream. There is Q
great variety of ways to season
vegetables to make them pleas
ingly different.
"Dinner Is Served"
Suppose we plan to serve a DIM
,ner that will be varied, colorful,
and dietetically correct, and we
feature as its main course an at
tractive vegetable plate. The in
PRODUCTION may be either 4 soup
-jellied, creamed or clearer a
gay decorative canape. Fish, egg
or cheese are excellent choices
for canapes, and a tiny cheese
rarebit served on circles Of
sauteed toast with a dash Of
paprika is perfect piece de re-
sistance.
For the main dish, or vegetable
plate, harmonious trio would be
pea croquettes, beets stuffed with
peas and lima beans, and sauteed
corn and pimiento. With this
sort of dinner it is not necessary
to serve a salad, but dessert may
add greatly to the meal. It may
be fairly substantial dessert, and
it will be especially welcome IL
it includes the sweet and fruit
quota of the meal. Among the
most popular desserts for vege-
tartan meals are berry shortcake.
made from either canned or fresh
berries, fruit cobbler with nutmeg
sauce, or flaky fruit pie, topped
with a generous serving Of
whipped cream

Maryland has not yet reached the
point where it seriously could consid-
er reducing its program for new
construction of roads, Howard
Bruce, State Roads Commissioner,
asserts in explaining the States need
for the amount of money produced
by four-cent gasoline tax.
The most important of the commits
sion's major undertakings is the
construction of a forty-foot highway
from Baltimore toward Philadelphia,
running either to the Pennsylvania
or Delaware line, he annouced.
In connection with the plan, Mr..
Bruce urged that the Legislature be
asked for an appropriation covering
approximately half of the total expen-
dlture, SO that the undertaking could
be completed in two years without a
serious curtailment of the widening
program in other parts of Maryland.
Because in many cases the density
OF traffic has passed the capacity of
roads, the need of road widening has
increased and continues to increase
more rapidly than the road mileage
travelled by automobiles, Mr.. Bruce
stated.
when you consider at the present
time that there are more than II, 900
miles OF unimproved county roads,
representing approximately 80 per
cent. OF the road mileage in the State,
no one can seriously consider cur
tailment OF bodybuilding activities, {"
he added.

A bill proposing law similar to
that now in effect in many Western
States, providing that all automobiles
broken down on State roads must be
entirely removed from the thorough
fare before repairs are undertaken,
is being considered for submission
to the next Legislature. Passage
and enforcement of such a law
would be decided aid, its hackers
claim, in reducing accidents through
out the State. It would also elimin-
ate in great measure traffic jams on
crowed thoroughfares leading to and
from the city.

we have at our bidding spinach,
string beans, lima beans, Brus-
sells sprouts, okra, green peppers,
turnip greens and scores of other
green's. Red is vivid color con-
trast to green, and it is plenti-
fully afforded in tomatoes, beets,
kidney beans, pimiento and other
delicious vegetables.
In every color assortment there
will perhaps be some light color
vegetables, and here you may
select from celery, corn, aspara-
gus, wax beans, hominy, sauer-
kraut or cabbage. And with these
paler vegetables the pleasant glow
of carrots, sweet potatoes, yellow
turnips, or the warm brown of
baked beans or mushrooms will
be a welcome contrast.
Color, Texture and Shape
Canned vegetables are, of
course, always plentifully used in
the vegetarian dinner, and their
colors are quite as inviting as those
of the fresh vegetables since the
Gamer now packs vegetables in
the popular sanitary enamel-lined
can which serve to preserve per-
fectly their natural colors.
Texture is as important as color
in the choice Of vegetables in
combination. For instance. the
perfect vegetable plate will in
clude some of the soft vegetables,
such as peas, asparagus or to-
matoes; some of the more chevy
ones, such as string beans,
spinach, carrots, corn and so
forth; and at least one Of the
crisp or leafy vegetables such as
celery, endive or lettuce.
Also, there are myriads of ways
of cooking vegetables and fascinat-
ing shapes into which they may
be cut; so be sure that you do not
serve all Of Your y-.-.-b.es

LAND WITH NO CHRISTMAS
Shanghai, China,
October 80, 1880.

October 80, 1880.
DEAR EDITOR:
l wonder if you have any boys and
girls among your readers. If so can
they imagine place in all the world
without Christmas and it's joys?
One such place is down here on the
bottom-side of the world" The
slanteyed ''yeller" Riddles here do
not have Christmas trees. They do
not chang up baby's stocking, the
biggest you can get" Santa Claus
with his sleigh and reindeer, and
bags of toys, seldom finds his way to
China. 1t may be because the roads
are too narrow and the reindeer fear
getting their feet wet in the rice
fields, or because there is little ice,
or it may be because Chinese houses
have so few chimneys, of perhaps
Santa Claus is afraid of falling off
the "bottom-side" of the earth, or
may be even because nobody has
shown him the way here.
Chinese children do not wait up at
night to get SLY peep at him. Nor
do they run down stairs very early
on Christmas morning to see what
Santa has put on the Christmas
tree, or with what wonderful things
he has filled their stockings. Just
think of it! A land with no Christ
mas! say 'No Christmas" but it
is not quite no." for once in a
while some English or American
store will have a Santa Claus, or a
Christmas tree, in the window for
the sake of English boys and girls.
Then lots of wee Chinese noses
interestedly press against the win
dow-glass.
Then, too, I and my American
friends of little children, are trying
to be Santa Claus to at least nine
hundred little kiddies in nay ragged
Sunday Schools in Shanghai. The
happiest little Brownies you ever
saw are my little "Chinks" as on
Christmas day l and my helpers tell
them the glad Christmas Story and
distribute among them apples, oran-
ges, and peanuts; dolls and balls;
toys, etc. How the eyes of my little
people sparkle. How happily they
smile and how gratefully they say,
'Zia-zia-noong" Thank, thank you,)
as they receive the gifts of American
friends. l wish all your boy and
girl readers could be with us and see
how happy my boys and girls are
with the simplest gifts. They would
be glad not only for the delight of
my little ones; but they would better
appreciate their own Christmas gifts.
They would also realize how much
boys and girls in China are like
American boys and girls with their
likes and dislikes; their joys and
sorrows, their tears and smiles, and
would feel that they are indeed their
own brothers and sisters.
Some say there is no Santa Claus.
think of him as that great big heart
of love that tries to make other
people happy. Don't you think that
true, Mr.. Editor?
Now may ask you to carry to all
your good readers, children and
grown-ups, my best wishes for a
merry Christmas. Keep lots also for
yourself.
Yours from the land of the "China
Chinks."
Rev.) H. G. c. Hallock.
