To Very Tempting Meals

Cabbage can always be turned into
an acceptable Winter salad. 1t does not
combine we'll with everything, but 1t
does combine we'll with many vegetables.
You can, if YOU have no lettuce. make
a delicious salad with crisp bed or
shredded cabbage on which diced picked
beets and canned peas are placed. A
spoonful of mayonnaiSe is also added.
Boiled cabbage, the green's we read
so much about in English novels, Is de-
licious If it is properly cooked. 1t

water. uncovered. And it should not be
cooked too long. If you leave the
kitchen window open at the top for
about a foot while the cabbage is cook
ing and close the doors into the other
parts of the house, the odor OF the
cooking cabbage will not spread to other
parts of the house.
Cabbage, once it is boiled, may be
served either plain, with butter and
pepper and salt, or with a thin cream
sauce. 1t is delicious with boiled ham.
But when it is served with boiled ham.

Can you give me recipe for an
omelet to which bread is added? have
eaten one, and think it would be a
good thing to make when eggs are
high. Mrs. P.
Here is a recipe for bread omelet.
| Remember, when serving it, that 1t
does not contain as much protein value
as an omelet made entirely of eggs.
However, it is delicious and nourishing.
and if plenty of protein is served at
other meals, in the form of milk, nuts,

| omelet is quite satisfactory.
| Soak cup of dried bread crumbs in
| a cup of milk for 10 minutes, add the
yolks of four eggs and half teaspoon
of salt. Melt two tablespoons of butter
in an omelet pan. Fold the stiff1y
beaten whites into the omelet mixture,
turn it into the pan, and brown delicate
ly. Cook until it is firm around the
edges, fold and serve.
If you wish you may serve this
omelet with Spanish sauce. In that
way it makes delicious dinner dish
French fried potatoes, spinach and
beets would be good served with it.

In the sun room We usually find
painted wood or wrought iron benches
covered with brightly colored cretonnes,
chintZes and also waterproof mate

For the boudoir the bench shown
in the illustration would be especially
appropriate. The design showing the
influence of the Louis XVI period, this
bench suggests room in pastel shades
and richly woven fabrics against neu-
trail but warm background.
The room in which this might be
used could have a color scheme as fol-
lows: Walls, paneled with holdings and
all painted in soft putty shade, the
holdings being brought out in dull gold.
The furniture might be light walnut and
the upholstery soft old rose satin, the
carpet rose. the glass curtains ivory
gauZe and the draperies rose and gold
brocade.

Cold slaw, or cole slaw, as 1t Is more

of the real delicacies, real treats that
we make from cabbage. 1t may be
made in several ways and so may be
varied to suit your taste. One way is
to chop the cabbage fine and mix it with
dressing. Another is to shave it fine,
with a knife. or a special shaver. 1t is
then mixed with the dressing. You NAV
use either French or mayonnaise-or
some boiled dressing if you wish.
Hot slaw Is not such general favorite
as cold slaw, but some persons prefer
it. To make 1t, shred cabbage to meas

SUB ROSA
BIZ MIMI.
Heart in the Spotlight.
BY MIMI,

How often it is that we read about
the divorce of stage couples and the
separation of screen stars For one
Sothern and Marlowe and one Doug
and Mary on the screen, we have a
small host of Romeos and JulietS who
get tired of one matrimonial part and
start to play another. The drama seems
to mean more money than love, more
fame than happiness.
Maybe these play-people are so far
removed from the world of common
folks and common sense that they think
their actual lives are only parts they
play "All the worlds a stage" said the
biggest playwright of them all. The
beautiful women and handsome men
who play the love parts must come to
believe that love is only a part to play.
If all the worlds stage, all the
screens a mirror to reflect life as 1t
is led by real people. The show and
film skim off from life what seems to
be interesting and leave the rest OF
life to be lived. Perhaps we don't
know Just what life is for. but we do
know that it should be real
Life isn't real with people who love
one person in one play and find a
different partner in another. That is
all right in the show, but in the Big
Tent of Life we must have more stabil-
ity or the whole sheebang will collapse.
When we come right down to it, the
folks on the stage must envy us more
than we envy them. They have only
the bill of fare, but we have the real
food.
A girl may play opposite perfect
cavalier. but his stage courtship can
not mean a thing to her. She may do
her acting before gaily painted scenery.
but it hasn't the reality of Main street
or your back yard. She may express all
manner of extreme emotions, but her
young heart doesn't feel them.
Many a girl has been stage-struck
and screen struck. Such ambitious but
misguided girls have worn a path to
Hollywood and the Rialto. But If we
only knew it, the girls who star in these
shows are really life-struck They want
to live, live, live, and not merely play,
play, play.
The stage is for those who are fitted
for and can stand it. Life is for every
body. But it is still possible to see some
sort of show in the life you are leading
and put the dramatic element into
what you experience. There is far more
drama in a real affair of the heart with
your boy friend than can be found on
any stage or screen.
When, however, we play the life-and-
love game, we play for keeps. We are
not pretending to love or imagining
that we are loved. No, we are playing
the part for all it's worth.
It's only children who say, well.
the same childishneSS, whether it's dolls
or diamonds, that they take when they
leave.

Historic Failures at Assassination
Queen Elizabeth Forgive Woman Who Tried
Kill Her.

Margaret told the story of her be-
reavement. "You have destroyed all
hold dear in life" she added, land so
meant to kill you
Elizabeth listened calmly throughout
the recital. The onlookers now ex-
pected she would loosen the full storm
of her wrath. But she continued un-
ruff1ed. After pause she SAID:
Since you have failed in your intent
have mind to pardon thee. Know
that Elizabeth is not the monster you
have imagined her Promise that yor
will drop your designs. You shall &c
free"
The royal attendants protested against
such charity. So daring an offender
should be punished, they said.
Margaret Lambrun began to be very
glad that affairs had taken such q turn
But she thought to herself that though
Elizabeth might forgive her other folk
might not.
IF your majesty will extend you
goodness one degree further" she said
"then will I always remember you witt
gratitude Grant me a safe conduct
with permission to retire to France, anc
I will see you no more"
Elizabeth complied. And so the in
cident ended.

OUR CHILDREN

This is the time to get children ready
to enter school next September. The
warm Spring days are usually the best
ones for convalescence. All vaccinations.
throat and nose operations, teeth ex-
fractions. cleanings and filings can well
be done now. The heat of Summer is
enough to bear without adding this sort
of bother Get ready early.
The vaccination for smallpox Is
usually demanded by all public schools,
If it is insisted upon in your school, get
the thing over with and have it of
your mind. Put the certificate in safe
place, so you will not have to search
the house over to find it next Fall.
Then there is the vaccination against
diphtheria. I hope you have had that
done for all little children under 5
years of age. The doctors assure us, and
back their statements with convincing
figures, that this vaccination against
diphtheria works. Even If it promised
an even chance of safety for the chill
dren, it would be worth doing. But 1t
promises us much more than that.
Diphtheria is very dangerous dis
ease. If it attacks little children, we
have a hard battle to fight. IT we can
prevent it's attacking the children by
having them inoculated by the board
of health physician or by our own spe-
clal doctor. why not? We would do
everything to save sick child. Why
not do this very simple thing to prevent
a perfectly healthy child from such a
deadly illness? This is a good time.
Teeth ought to be cleaned and all
cavities filled. If you have the sort OF
dentist that hates to handle little chill
dren, go to one that likes doing 1t and
have the teeth upon which so much de-
ponds cleaned and Strengthened and
filled whenever they need it. Don't let
anybody tell you that first teeth do not
matter. because they fall out anyway
They do matter. Health and beauty and
efficiency depend upon clean, sound
teeth. The baby teeth are the founda-
| ton teeth, and they count, as any
| foundation counts.
If the child's speech is thick, If he
gets a cold in the head easily, If he

are a threat. AdenoidS come out. The

are acquired. They do not belong. Get
them out.
The clearing of nose and throat is i'm

reduces the air supply, and the growth
of the child depends upon that to g

Epigrams.


The human mind tends to move in
sections. Ideas tend to congregate into
groups. Language is experience, cpl
dramatically expressed, as:
Be still and know.
I think, therefore am.
Just hold on little longer.
You can have anything you want, If
you love it well enough.
When you do not get what you want,
change your mind and want something
better.
What you mentally dwell upon habit
ually, that very thing the subconsciouS
will create.
Nothing is in the mind that is not
first in the senses.

Dream on. Don't forget to dream.
Every day In every way I am getting
better and better.
Men at some time are masters Of
their fates.
Every why hath a wherefore.
A great deal of the world stock of
knowledge Is expressed in such cpl
grams-short, pointed, terse statements
Epigrains are important, even If they
are not always true. There appears to
be a universal urge among men to boil
knowledge down to its essentials, and
still greater urge to accept the prod

as are also the facts that it launders
to look like new, and is neutral in color,
which remains unchanged as long as
there is a shred remaining.
Linen is the textile of highest rank
for household purposes. This Is i'm
mediately recognized when one stops
to think that the term household lin
ems" is accepted whether the textiles
are woven entirely of fax, of cotton, or
a mixture of the two.
For towels, linen is superior to any
other textile for the very excellent
reason that its absorbency is much
higher than that of cotton. This means
that the towels will dry dishes-and
hands. too, for that matter-more quick
ly than cotton. Next best is union towel
ing, in which linen and cotton are
mixed. If the weft or filling is of
linen. the abSorbency is greater than
If the warp were of fiaxen strands.
Sometimes part OF the warp and part
of the welt are fax.
Napery for kitchen use continues to
be superior when of linen, but 1t is not
nearly so essential to have the small
tablecloths of linen. If such a cloth
and napkins match, as in breakfast
and luncheon sets, then napkins are
union" or cotton as the case may be.
Some cotton textiles make very at
tractive and serviceable sets. Cotton
crepe sets are easily laundered and re-
quire no ironing - two admirable
features.
For kitchen draperies, window hang
ings, ETC., cotton is generally chosen.
Cotton will not take in easily the oils
held In suspension in a kitchen at
mosphere when cooking is going on,
nor hold odors long. It will be seen
that each textile has its function in a

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Usually, between 4 and 6 months,
babies show determined desire to
sit UP. They strain and struggle,
lift their heads from the bed, and grasp
at any offered hand in vain attempt
to sit up. But if they are allowed TO
sit up, most of these small mites can't
manage it but moment. They sit up
straight, then their backs begin to sag
and their heads drop forward. They
are still not strong enough to sit erect.
At that very moment they should be
allowed to lie down.
Mrs. L. H. w. is anticipating these
activities by at least month and the
picture she draws of her babFs posture
is clearly one of fatigue. She says:
Does a baby grow to be hump.

or leaning forward? My baby is 3l2

He is pretty fat. Does that tend to

ton. Is he too young to be sitting up

The answer to your last question is
an emphatic yes" He is far too
young. He is quite lot over the aver

you look upon him as big boy. He
isn't, he is very much of an infant, and
is not old enough to hold either MS

do this very early, and 1t is their first

on his back on the bed, grasp his hands
firmly and, as he struggles up. give him
a helping hand to sitting position
Let him sit for a moment and gently
let him down.
The neighbors, often free in theii
distribution of the worst possible ad-
vice, are apt at this time to suggest
propping the young baby up The young
