that somehow her money win make up

It Is thus that the wealthy woman
appreciates an evening Of economical

costly and snowy. Social favors are not

BY SALLY MONROE.

IN most households vegetable soup
may be had two or three times a
week for luncheon or dinner without
having to count more than few cents
additional expense. It is one of the
things that can be made almost entire
ly from food that would otherwise be
thrown in the discard. What 1t does
need is of very small cost, and there
are so many varying it that one can
make use of what one has and get
along without what one has not.
Save the water that you drain from
stewed celery, spinach, onions, string
beans - any fresh vegetable. If you
can. have a little strained tomato to
add. Often this can be saved from a
can of tomatoes that you are using for
something else, and in tomato season
it merely means two or three tomatoes,
stewed and strained. Add the tomato
juice to the other vegetable Juice and
add one potato and one onion, diced
stove to simmer slowly. Your soup will
be ready when the potato or onion is
cooked perfectly soft.
Simple Process.
Often a good vegetable soup may be
made by simply adding a little milk
and -four to thicken the Juice drained
from any vegetable. Canned tomatoes
can be used in this way, though the
juice from other canned vegetables
should not be used for soup.
A little meat stock may be added to
vegetable soup, but it is not necessary
and usually adds to the expense.
Really delicious flavor is given to
vegetable stock If pea pods are boiled
with the other vegetables They have
sweet, delicate flavor that Is excel
lent in soup.
Here is good way to make vegetable
stock: Buy 10 cents worth Of soup
green's. This will probably include
onion, carrot, celery stalks, a little
parsley and perhaps leek. Then ask fol-
10 cents worth of peas and string beans
or fresh lima beans. The vegetable mar
may look astonished, but explain that
you want a handful for soup, and he
will probably be delighted to sell them
to you. My vegetable man is well train
ed to my peculiaritieS and does this
gladly.
Wash the coarse vegetables in the
scrap of them, excepting the strong cell
cry leaves
Onion will probably be included in
the greens" If not, add a couple OF
onions to the soup pot.
Cut the inside of the carrot into neat
little cubes. Put the outside into the
soup pot and the cubes into a small
pan. Put the peas into the pan and
the pods, washed, into the soup pot
Cut the string beans into very small
piece and put them into the little pan
Cut one small onion into dice for the
little pan. Put a little Of the celery
into tiny dice and put into the pan.
If there is a little celery root as
there sometimes Is among soup greens,
cut it into very small pieces. sliced thin,

Mix and sift together two cupfuls Of

Rub in one tablespoonful Of lard and
stir in with knife enough sour milk TO
make a very soft dough. Roll out half

drink his wine, and am not going to

How often in commercial circles we
hear men say as an excuse for shady
dealings, EFT is the custom of the
trade" Indeed, it is a common thing
in all circles to hear people excusing
themselves for questionable conduct on
the ground that it is the prevalent prac-
tice. Everybody does it, is regarded
by many as sufficient excuse for doing
anything.
It REQUIRES uncommon courage to be

q -conformist such as Daniel was.
But the world greatly needs men Of his
type; men who refuse to follow a Gus
tom simply because 1t Is a custom; men
who have the will to stand on their own
feet, and who are not afraid to be out
Of fashion. Here is one of the
foundation-ston of all nobleness and
strength-the courage of non-comph-
ance with customs and practices which
violate your own convictions and better
sense of what is right and what is
wrong

and put it into the little pan. Put
some OF the parsley into soup pot, and,
If you like the flavor, add the leek.
It may be better to start the vegeta-
bles in the little pan, cooking without
the peas, and to add those 90 minutes
before the rest are done. You don't
want the peas to be mushy.
Getting Out Flavor.
Add can of tomatoes and quart
of water to the soup pot and simmer
it slowly for two hours. The long cook
ing gets out all the flavor. Cook the
prepared vegetables in little water,
slowly and carefully. so that they will
not burn. At the end of two hours
strain the soup stock, pressing all the
good out Of the pulp of vegetables.
Season nicely with salt and pepper and
add the diced vegetables. Sprinkle with
minced parsley and serve.
To add body and variety to this vege-
table stock you can sometimes cook
small macaroni or other paste shapes
with the prepared vegetables to add to
the finished stock.
This sort of soup is really every bit
as good as soup made with vegetable
stock. 1t is much cheaper to prepare.
would be needed for the meat stock in
addition to the meat and bone expense.
This vegetable stock is delicious and
can be safely eaten even by those who
are denied meat soups or rich cream
soups-the meat soups usually because
of certain health conditions, the rich
cream soups because they are fattening.
Query.
Among this weeks queries is this:

With foreign markets closed and Wall
Street undetermined whether to be
hopeful or gloomy over the prospects
Of relief for Germany from the inter-

listers, traders decided to let the mar
ket while away the time as best 1t
could
Sales for the two-hour session fell
off to less than 400. 900 shares, one of
the smallest days business in five years.
A trlckle of week end selling appeared
early in the session, causing several
recessions of to 2 points, but the list
firmed In the last half hour and closed
with fractional gains predominating.
United States Steel and American
Can, after showing temporary losses OF
about a point, recovered to close viz

ity developed in the cigarette issues,
with Lorillard making a gain of nearly
points.
Corn Products rallied about points,
possibly rejecting news that Penick &;
Ford will license its refining process to
other corn refining companies. Wall
Street understands that the savings are
considerable. and that the entire in
dustry may benefit.
