GLASSWARE TO-DAY INCLUDES ENTIRE TEA SERVICES.

There Is no season of the year when
glassware is more decoratively at
tractive than Summer. The very
name, crystal glass. suggests GOODNESS,
for this Is enc of the qualities of
genuine crystal. The name is one that
is associated with ice also, which, when
1t Is especially fine, is sometimes re-
ferred to as crystal. There is about
all glass hint of chilliness to the eye
and the touch. This is true, though
sometimes to a lesser degree, in colored
glass, even when the hue is red.
In the present era, with glass so
pronounced vogue, it is not difficult
for the homemaker to have the dining
table as refreshing in appearance as
in Sustenance. Color of glass-serving
dishes can lend ZeSt to otherwise plain
viands and aid in making them appeal
to the appetite. Different courses can
stress different colors in a delightfully."-
decorative way. For example the glass
ware used during the main course can
be amber, while that for the dessert
course can be rose. Or white may be
for one course and green for another.
Some homemakers collect but
single color of glass, in which case
the table is considered as one unit
decoratively. Some women collect sets
of various colored glass, and think OF
courses as separate units and treat
them as such in the way just described.
1t is fortunate that while glass sug-
gests GOODNESS, it retains heat we'll, as
it also does cold. Glass cooking dishes
are particularly good to use in sum
mertime because they look cool. while
they actually may be piping hot.
Apart from the dining room, glass is

Summer Food.

The children lose their appetites in

second piece of meat and they push
their food about their plates instead OF
deVouring it with relish as they
usually do. The heat slows their hun

change the menu.

day is enough, II they want 1t at all
Some of it they should have, 1 believe
But give them attractive vegetables In
plenty. 1t seems that there are people
who do not know how to cook vege-

The carrots and peas, beans and cab

was new.
She put two squares unsweetened
chocolate in the upper part Of double

When chocolate was melted she beat it
with rotary beater to blend mixture.

tapioca was clear-a matter of about

night. 1t was a good fight But the

Of Spain and Ted Sandwina Of Ger
many kept the house in a continuous
uproar as they alternated in the lead.
When the officials called it draw the
customers got even more excited, eN-
IDENTIFY regarding Osa as the rightful
victor.
Osa, fighting out of a crouch, from
which he heaved left and right hooks,
belted Sandwina, the clever boxer, all
over the place in round one, dropping
him once with a right to the jaw and
having him so bad at the bell that 1t
looked like Ted wouldn't survive the
second.
Sandwina surprised Osa and every
one else by coming out much refreshed
to give his opponent good pasting for
several rounds. However, Osa came
back and put on another storm.
Late in the sixth round the Basque
upset the German boy with a right
hook Though Ted took no count he
was badly hurt and was spun half
around by another right. He was
fioored two more times in the seventh
Both were just about done at the final
bell in the tenth.
The officials reached three different
decisions, the net result being a draw.
Campolo and Ficucello put up what
ordinarily would have been a highly
satisfactory fight, but it was just mild
alteration compared to the semi-final.
The towering Argentinian had things
