MANY APPETIZING WAYS
TO USE DRIED FRUITS

With the coming &C winter and the
resultant scarcity of fresh fruits, the
homemaker must find suitable sub
stitutes if she would guard the health
of her family. Although some fresh
fruit or raw vegetable is needed each
day to provide adequate amounts of
vitamin c, the antiscorbutic vitamin,
the place of other fruits can be filled
by some of the excellent dried fruits
which are available, says Miss Jane
M. Leichsenring, specialist in nutri-
ton of the home economics division,
University Farm, st. Paul.
Dates, figs, raisins, currants, and
prunes are all very nutritious and re-
latively inexpensive. They are high
in energy value and mineral content.
Being particularly rich in iron, these
fruits help in combating the tendency
which many individuals have of de-
veloping anemia during the winter.
Two other fruits which aid in build
ing good blood supply are dried
apricots and peaches.
All of these fruits lend themselves
to a variety of uses. They may be
stewed and served as fruit sauce for
breakfast, or as the dessert at the
noon or evening meal. Raisins, dates,
and currants may be cooked with the
breakfast cereal and make a very
pleasing addition to what sometimes
becomes a rather monotonous dish.
They also make an appetizing addi-
ton to many salads. Chopped or
ground carrots, to which raisins or
dates have been added, make deli
cious salad. These fruits may also
be added to shredded cabbage or to
the well-known apple and celery sal
ad. Stewed prunes, from which the
pit has been removed, may be stuff
ed with cottage cheese. When serv-
ed with dressing on a lettuce leaf
they add variety and interest to the
menu. They may also be added to
many buildings and custard desserts.

good condition and the maid taught TO reduce
speed gradually Nothing upsets hostess more
than TO have the tea-cart pass right on over
her and out through the window into the
tulip bed, or to have the tea cart stop suddenly
while the oolong projects itself into Mrs Over
bury Martins lap.
Let us suppose that the hostess is planning
fodder that can be carted in and eaten on the
lap This Immediately excludes soup, unless it
can be served in the original cans, with strawS,
because few things are more annoying to
guest than having to balance plate of tomato
soup on the knee while handling sandwich
with. one hand and cup of tea with the other.
II the soup is served in the original can. it may
be graSped between the knees, care being taken
to turn the toes in and to have the can right
side up. The thoughtful hostess will mark the
punctured end of the can TOP" or This end
up" and she should take care to see that the
cans are made of fairly stout tin.
I recall a most embarrassing incident that
happened when the Countess of Biskirk served
soup in thin cans at an afternoon tea at Castle
Colmulligan. Lady Eleanor CLAIMS was one of
the guests and you will remember that she was
famous as a fox hunter, always riding a big
chestnut horse with a face like Lady Mary
Palthorpe'S, but with smaller teeth. Lady
Eleanor had very powerful knee muscles from
clasping her mount firmly when leaping
fences, bitches, hedges and other pieces of
landscape while pursuing the fox. The soup
was wheeled in and passed to the guests, each
can having been punctured for the insertion of
the straws, and Lady Eleanor placed her can
Of tomato soup between her knees and clamped
her knees shut on the can. Instantly the sides
of the caved in and stream of soup
shot upward through the puncture in the top
of the can, hitting Lady Eleanor in the nostrils
just she was taking deep breath and prac-
ticaly drowning her. The countess with great
presence of mind Immediately ordered bar
rel brought in and in about half an hour Lady
Eleanor was resuscitated but the party
quite spoiled and Lady eleanor sneezed tomato

TO avoid such awkward contretempts, it is
better to omit soup at afternoon teas and
serve instead the sausage known as salami.
This can be had in two-foot lengths resembling
q policemans club, but harder Mrs Bender
bury Cupps-Wiltz of Locust Valley, Long Is
land, usually wraps the lower end of the salami
club in towel or old newspaper. The sausage
can then be held between the knees without
getting grease on the gown, the upper end of
the sausage extended to within a few inches
OF the guests mouth so that, by leaning grace
fully forward, she can chew at it from time to
time. A pretty touch is to tie bow of ribbon
around the Salami-as, green ribbon on St.
Patrick's day, tricolor on the Fourth of July
and so on. When this is done, care should
be taken to place the bow we'll down on the
Saiami so that the guest will not chew the rib
bon. IT any of your guests are bow-legged their
salami should be fixed in a holder-a small
Christmas tree holder will do-for easier knee
ciasping. It interrupts the conversation to
have bow-legged guest constantly saying:
Pardon me, please, but will you hand me my
sausage; 1t Is under your chair"
The clever hostess, if the occasion is an
afternoon bridge party, is careful to avoid
freshmentS that will stick the cards together.
This is the great objection to such foods as
caramel pie, glue, library paste, and wafHeS
with molaSSes. One of the clevereSt innova-
tions was that of Mrs. Norton Higginlooper
wife of Higginloopers Superfiex Suspenders for
Gents, invitations to whose bridge parties are
so eagerly sought 1t he's been months since
there has been any meringue on the ace of
hearts in her pack. For years Mrs. Norton
Higginlooper had to put in three or four hours
after each card party scraping meringue and
mayonnaise off the ace king, queen jack, ten,

and she might have continued to do SO, but
for an odd accident. Mrs Higginlooper had
always served the push-cart type of refresh

cart and she used the baby carriage. On the

de Lima sat each evening was

to have trod its perfect turf one
of the most exquisite and command

the gray-green slopes of Fiesole which COM
mandS that view of the city of Flofe which
spreads like lady's pround fan at its feet.
Not even in the days of its original owners,
fifteenth century Medicis, had this terrace
boosted its present perfection. Carefully re-
stored by its American owner from the over
grown condition in which she found it, pack
to q semblance of what must have been its
original pattern, Eustacia had added subtly,
and with conservatism to its bloom and geo.

Che beholder
It was said in some of the guide books that
its wealthy owner Miss De Lima, had set
about to make this villa the most glorious in
all Europe.
A FTER a while. of course. as her success
came to be noised about and friends, &C
quaintances and sightseers came from distances
to behold the perfection of her dwelling place,
its Identification blossomed into her hobby.
Her only motive for ever leaving it, her only
desires, were that she might gather within its
massive walls treasures that might enhance its
8 glowing beauty.
How well she succeeded is further attested
by the fact that out of difference to her out
standing achievement in the way of perpetual
ing and idealizing q landmark, the government
honored Miss de Lima.
FieSole Villa became twice over the target
it had ever been for the sightseeing thousands
who annually crowded in for the feasts of
beauty Florence had to offer them.
It was after the acknowledgment of the
government that Miss de Lima decided to
throw open her gardens one day a week for
the further enjoyment of those who came
peering through the grillwork Of her hand
some gates. Guards were installed at intervals
throughout the gardens and parks, turf was
chained of where need be to protect it from
needless intrusion and the general public was
thus admitted to one of the show villas of all
Europe.
On this day each week Miss de Lima kept
carefully to her chambers, moving about with
ceaseless enjoyment among the high-patined,
fifteenth sixteenth and even thirteenth century
objects of furniture and art that she had COL
lected with such loving care. It as If
these objects packed to their very timbers with
memories of turbulent and picturesque yester-
days, were live and breathing companions. Each

morning OF day when Mrs. Higginlooper was
giving an afternoon bridge party, she made n
caramel pie She placed this in the baby car
riage but her nurse-maid pumped the
baby down on the caramel pie and it was
presently discovered that the baby was glued
fast in the carriage with caramel pie The
baby carriage was out of it.
TO any one else this catastrophy would have
meant the cancellation of the bridge in
vitations, but with the ingenuity of the born
hostess Mrs. Higgenlooper Immediately got a
step ladder and screwed screw-eyes in her
parlor ceiling and suspended roast chicken
legs from them, using dainty ribbons. Her
guests were delighted.
Usually-except on Fridays-Mrs. Higgin-
looper serves chicken legs. These are tied
by the ankle so to speak, and are hung from
the ceiling over the tables, four to each table.
Her guests, by reaching beyond the ribbon and
putting a dainty finger behind it. can draw
the chicken leg to the mouth, thus eating as
the game proceeds and still getting nothing ON
the cards. On Fridays Mrs. HigginloOper serves
fried oysters in the same manner the oysters
being strung a thin wire; as the bottom
oyster is gnawed off the wire those above it

pretty effect can be secured by alternating fried
oysters and stuffed olives ON the wire, and lot
of fun can be had by using, now and then an
imitation oyster made of rubber, or a china
bead painted to resemble stuffed olive.
In using Mrs. Higginlooper's suspended
luncheon for afternoon bridge parties it is just
as we'll to have the ribbons short enough to
cause the guests to turn their mouths upward
when gnawing. If the chicken legs are hung too
low and you trump your partners ace she is
liable to grab her chicken leg and swing it full
tilt at you, and chicken leg in the eye Is
nothing to laugh about. r

For IL years Miss de Lima, growing older,
more fragile, more remotely associated
with the bygone centuries she loved, dwelt in
the midst Of the luxury Of beauty, sharing it,
to some extent with the public, but for the
most part, drinking her pleasure and her tea
alone, on her terrace, at sunset strolling, with
her two lean wolfhounds, through her gardens,
olive-groves and leafy hillsdes at dusk; spend
ing long hours in arrangement and rearrange-
ment of the of chambers; tending and
caring for bit of cracking wood or majolica
as If it had been living thing; loving her
tude with which she was able to surround
herself
Gradually, as this began to pail a bit, Miss
de Lima allowed herself the luxury Of invading

NE of the first questions you ask
Il yourself when you plan to give
party is What shall I give them to
eat?" In the silly old days such as
1915, 1776 or 1892 this question was
easily answered. If you decided to give pink
tea all you had to do was go into the garden
and pick some pinks; you put them in the
teapot, poured hot water on them, and you
had pink tea.
For the present day hostess the stoking Of
the guests is no such easy matter. More is ex-
pected of the hostess; it is longer sufficient
TO set kettle of cornmeal mush on the table
and say: Eat hearty. folks; there's plenty
more where this came from" Whether it is
afternoon tea, bridge party or meeting of
the Society for the Improvement of Yellow
Tailed Grackles, your guests expect something
different and unusual. This is what gives so
many hostesses the pip. The following sugges-
tions, while going into nothing elaborate, will
be welcomed.
FOR an afternoon tea we must have some
thing that can be wheeled in on a cart.
In choosing a car we should select one with
non-skid tires and the maid should be eau
toned to keep within the 25-rnile speed 1itfit,

arranged that the villa be open to the public
again, two days a week. In way that served
to increase her isolation because it meant that
additional hours must be spent indoors prowl-
ing among her objets dart.
It was with something akin to unpleasant
surprise that Miss de Lima began to apprehend
herself in what had come to be her habit of
peering through the heavy brocades and shut
tiers of her windows these days that the gardens
were open wide. The voices and streamers of
laughter and high excited EXPLANATIONS that
came to her seemed to draw her automatically
toward the din.
THERE it was, the same old vandal vulgar
poking, curious public that she in a way
despised even while she tolerated its ways.
How they moved about down there, through
her gardens, kept in place by guards, admon-
ished by parents, splashed in sunlight that
seemed positively coarse as applied to them.
How they could metamorphoSe her beautiful
silence into din; her paradise into a mere
penny-a-stare spectacle One onslaught from
them, and dignity became so much raucous
curiosity The racing children, the gaping
matrons, the heavy-legged papas brought desc

They emerged from the centuries as replicaS
Of life; not as mere objets dart "a.
It was that curious warmth that coming
over her these days gradually impelled Miss
de Lima although she would never have adj
mitted it. even to herself to throw open the
gardens five days a week, and on the sixth the
villa itself!
