A. T.-When travelling. as on all
other occasions, good sense should be
combined with good manners. For in
stance, the formality Of an introduce

together whenever they find it con-
venient or pleasant to do so.

down to large platefuls of steak, po.

If those same people would leave
out q course or two of fattening, less
nutritious foods, and drink milk sVith
their meals, they'd soon find a differ

NOT the figure.

every meal - for health!

LEMON COOKIES.

Cream one-half cupful butter
with one cupful sugar. add the
juice and grated rind of one-half
a lemon and one tablespoonful
milk. Sift two scant cupfulS
flour with one-half teaspoonful
soda and add to the first mixture
alternately, with two well beaten
eggs. Use enough more flour to
handle dough lightly, but cookies
are best If made quite soft. Roll
out into a square or oblong sheet,
cut into strips with q sharp knife
and bake in a moderate oven. or
use a round cutter as usual, but
the other method Is quicker and
more economical.
