|WashingtOn's Birthday Off, 1 fers Many Suggestions

VI The twenty-second of February is . very important day for it marks the birthday of one of America s greatest statesmen, George Washing ton. A festive day, such as this offers h real opportunity to entertain and fellow Q general scheme for decora- tions as well as menu. There are cer- tain dishes peculiarly characteristic of the time and section of the coun- try in which Washington was born and reared, certain table decorations that always characterize the day, and the clever hostess keeps these facts in mind, when planning her party.
 Although the bridge luncheon or tea both offer interesting possibili- ties I think the Washington Birthday Dinner party is even more fitting. Many households have tucked away period dresses and suits. but then perhaps in this day of small apart ments, relics of days gone by have no longer been kept, in that case it is possible to rent from some repu- table costumer a Martha Washing ton outfit, the host being dressed in suit representing the style of that century.
 The table decorations should be ornate. a Dresden china couple of the Washington Period with bowl of low cut flowers makes an interesting and different centerpiece. Candelbra should furnish the light as their soft warm glow adds quaintness to our modern furnishings
 And now for the all important menu:-

Crisp New Waters
 Will Improve Salad
What to Serve With Salad Is Often Perplexing Salad
By JOSEPHINE B. GIBSON

The question of what to serve with
 salads offers an almost unlimited field for ingenuity and experiment, because there are so many dainty, fiavorful foods that are appropriate as accomplishments to each type Of salad. And the success of any dish, of course, depends largely upon hav- ing the related foods both as att tractive and appetizing as possible. Hot muti1ns, cheese biscuits and sandwiches with flavorful, piquant
 filings are especially good with the
 more hearty vegetable, meat and
 fish salads. Various types of cookies;
 sweet sandwiches and unfrosted cakes should be served with fruit and dessert salads. Many people also like cheese waters with fruit salads. Here are tested recipes for a wide
 variety of delightful foods to accom- pany salads of many kinds:
 Hot cheese toast or waters: 1-2 cup grated American cheese; l table spoon India or fresh cucumber relish, 1-2 teaspoon prepared mustard. Mix together and spread on wafers or long narrow pieces of bread. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and brown delicately in the oven or un-
 der the flame of the broiler. Serve with vegeta blbes, fish or meat salads. Deviled Tongue on Toast or Wa fers: small can deviled tongue or
 ham; preserved sweet gherkins;
 finely chopped; salt.
 Toast bread on one side, and spread tongue mixture on untosat-
 ed side after spreading with May
 onnaise Salad Dressing. Cut in triangles or finger lengths and serve with vopof h1a egg salads.
 Crisp Squares: 1-2 cup bread flour; 1 1-2 tab1esponos sugar; l teaspoon salut; IA teaspoon soda; 2
 cups Breakfast Wheat; 1-2 cup
 shortening (1-4 cup butter and IA
 cup vegetable shortening).
 Sift together the flour, sugar, salt and soda, and add Breakfast Wheat. Add these dry ingredients to short ening that has been melted in 1-2
 cup hot water. Allow to stand un- til cool, pat about IA thick and cut into squares. Bake on an ungreased cooky sheet in Q moderately hot oven 400 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Servie with vegetable salads.
 Toast Rings With Toast Sticks:
 Toast slices of bread on one side and
 spread untoasted side with grated American chesee blended to paste
 
 of the bread cut rounds; and then with smaller cutter, take out the centers. leaving rings of bread. From the remaining slices cut lengths of bread about 1-2 inch wide and 2 or inches long. Place the rings and
 the lengths of bread spread with the filling under the broiler until the
 cheese is melted, and serve with two of the toasted sticks stuck through
 each ring. Serve with vegetable,
 meat or fish salads.
 Fruit Fingers: eggs, 1 cup sugar;
 1 IA cups flour; 1 teaspoon baking
 powder; cup Pure Mince Meat; l
 cup chopped nutmeats.
 Beat eggs until light and fluffy.
 Then add augar gradually. Sift to-
 gether the flour and baking powder
 and add to the egg mixture. Fold in mince meat and nutmeats. Bake in shallow greased pan at 300-325
 degrees F. for about 30 minutes. Cool, cut in narrow strips about 2
 inches long. and roll in powdered sugar. These are delicious with fruit salad.

used in the center basket which, be- ing the piece de resistance of the luncheon decorations, will bear a
 The centerpiece, which could cas- fly be made at home, is built up on a cardboard foundation that is sec- tioend off into three parts, all of it covered with pink cellophane. Strips of the same material, two inches long and one inch wide, are crushed along the sides of the foundation like sort of shimmering apron. The handle is attached to the sides of the ceiterpiece with bits of wire and is decorated with artificial sweet peas made of lamicel. In the center are both candy and nuts.
 Throughout the whole decoration. pink is the predominating color. With this in mind, table decorations, particularly successful for luncheons, can be arranged by making use either of light blue, dark blue or tango cellophane, in some cases, where darker colors are used, fea- turing both the transparent mater- ial with the colored, the whole giving if carefully planned, a cheery, inti- mate touch to the luncheon.

 ''King George V or the Prince of Wales may invite number of for eign potentates and statesmen to dinner at one of the royal palaces. This is a function: consequently. in the same way that we everyday folk display our best table appointments when we invite guests, SO does the royal butler produce the finest silver to impress the foreign visitors" says Edward Wenham in Home and Field.
 "But when the members of a royal family have an opportunity to enjoy privacy, they seek to do 50 unaccem- panied by the pomp which Is neces sary to their official duties. Nor need we seek further proof of this fact than the porcelain dinner sets made in the past for different mon- archs.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
 HORS D'0EUVRES
For Simple Dinner a Variety
 of Two or More Kinds Is

The difference between a com monplace meal and an excellent meal often depends on the first course, the hors-d'oeuvres. When dinner starts with an attractive, hunger-whetting appetizer, the stage is set for thorough enjoyment of every course.
 There is nothing difficult about preparing hors-d oeuvres. Just or dinary condiments and pickles are needed in order to add the smart, zestful touches that make these dainty appetizers.
 For the simple dinner, hors- d'oeuvres of two or more kinds may be attractively arranged on a salad plate and placed on the table.
 Home Style HOrs-d'Oeuvres
 Place cooked beets in small rings. In the center of each ring place a selection of two or more kinds of sweet mixed pickles.
 Stuffed Eggs
 Remove yolks of hard-cooked eggs. Mash yolks with butter and

 Roqucfort Relish HOrs-d'oeuvres
 Mash with fork an individual portion of roquefort cheese. Com bine with an equal amount of sweet pickle relish. Spread on firm slices of tomato. and sprinkle with pap rika.
 Cabbage Cheese Hors-d' 'oeuvres
 Cut green pepper into rings. In- side of the pepper rings place small mounds of cabbage salad mixed with grated cheese and prepared mustard. Add French dressing. Tuna-Pickle Canape
 Combine shredded tuna fish with enough mayonnaise to moisten. Sea- son with onion juice and paprika. Spread on toasted bread cut into fancy shapes. Garnish with dill pickles cut into thin slivers. or with crosswise sections of dill pickles cut into fancy shapes.

An attractive luncheon table, and one which is delightfully."- feminine in mood, may be decorated with pink as the prevailing color. In the one illustrated, which was prepared by a woman with an experienced eye for the most engaging color harmonies, there is found pink crystal, rose quartz ash trays, rose cigaret holders, with sparkling cellophane centerpiece and favors to carry out the general color scheme.
 The shimm ering dantiness of this table is aided by the use of blown glass ornaments. silver candlesticks with white candles, and gumdrops in the form of grapes co1ored pink, green and lavender. Sweet peas are

 The last is the group most likely to be neglected. Make sure that your menu provides fresh fruit, and two or more green vegetables every day. Serve dishes prepared with such cereals as bran and whole wheat, which retain the mineral salts and fiber of the grain. Watch for new recipes and you'll be sur. prised at the appetizing variety of such dishes you'll be able to pre- pare.
 Bran Waf!ies
 Sift one and half cups -four. four teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, two tablespoons sugar. Beat the yolks of two eggs and combine with one cup of milk. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add one-haif cup melted shortening and three-fourths cup bran. Add the stifdy beaten whites of two eggs. Bake in hot wafis iron until mixture ceases to steam.

Prairie Pipe Line, Mexican Sea-

a result of the flrming up in prices
of the metal Saturday.
