Serving The Perfect Luncheon

The luncheon table has evolved
style of its own-a pleasantly color
full and informal one. The lunch
con set can be blight colored and
the china much gayer than that used
at conservative dinner. Quimper
ware, so popular now, is a good
choice. Candles are not used at
luncheons, usually.
Three courses are adequate for
an informal luncheon, and four are
ample; for a formal luncheon you
could add a fifth. One large table
or several small ones may be used
for luncheon. They may be laid
with a luncheon set consisting of
centerpiece and doilies, with lunch
con cloth, or with a runner and place
doilies Flowers and small dishes
or compotes of candy and sailed nuts
complete and table decoration.
Place cards are not necessary, but
il used they are small plain white
cards with the guests name written
On them, placed on the napkin at
the left of each cover or laid against
the water glass. With some infor-
nal luncheon no knife is necessary,
in which case two forks, one for the
main course and one for the salad
course, are placed at the right of
the salad plate, with the luncheon
fork on the outside. If knife is ne
cessary it is placed to the right,
sharp edge turned in, with the forks
en- the left.

that l give him repeated affection,

all if | can't give him all he de-
mands.
He says he had made plans for a
school party and he had intended
taking me. We had never said any
thing definitely on the matter so

Using Mushrooms

UOHAg NIuSanUUEk
If there is any one food that can
inspire cook to gastronomic heights
or depths it is mushrooms. Yet many
people do not realize the delights
they are missing by not serving
mushrooms frequently. Properly
cooked. they are the most delicious
norsels in the vegetable kingdom.
Their aroma is one that would tempt
the gods. Their flesh, which is firm,
meaty in texture, and full of tasty
Juice, seems to combine all the good
ness of meat, fish, vegetables and
nuts in one. Here is number of
ways of preparing fresh mushrooms
to make them appetizing:
Oysters and Mushrooms
Wash and remove the stems from
u pound of fresh mushrooms. Chop
them fine, put in a saucepan with l
tablespoon of butter, " teaspoon
salt and a dash of pepper. Cover
closely and cook over slow fire for
| 0 minutes. Have ready, washed and
drained. 25 good size, fat oysters.
Put them perfectly dry into the
mushroom mixture. Pull the sauce
pan over bright fire. Boil, stirring
constantly for about minutes.
Serve on squares of toasted bread.
Yield: servings.
Tomato Stuffed with Mushrooms
Wash perfectly smooth solid to-
matoes. Cut a slice from the stem
and remove carefully the seeds and
core. To each tomato allow three
good size mushrooms. Wash, dry,
chop them fine and stuff into the
tomatoes. Put Is teaspoon salt on
top of each and a busting of pepper.
Into a bowl put / cup of soft bread
crumbs. Add salt and pepper and
tablespoon melted butter. Heap this
over the top of the tomato, forming
sort of pyramid, packing in the
mushrooms. Stand the tomatoes in
a baking pan and bake in a moderate
oven $3.50 degrees) ! hour. Lift
carefully so as to prevent sticking to
platter and serve at once.
Rice and Mushroom Crocuettes
Add 1 cup chopped fresh broiled
or canned mushrooms to 1 y cups
cooked rice. Add the beaten yolks of
eggs and season with salt and pep
per. When the paste is cold, mold it
into croquettes. Roll these in beaten
egg, then in fine cracker or bread
crumbs. Fry in deep, hot fat 600
degrees) to golden brown.
Yield: 6 croauettes.
Flied Mushrooms
1 egg folk
7 water
pepper
Salt
u 1 lb. mushrooms
Corn meal
3 T butter.
Beat the egg yolk with the water
until smooth. Season with pepper and
ealt. Have the mushrooms cleaned.
Dip each cap in the egg yolk mixture.
then in corn meal. Have the butter
heated until hot in the frying pan.
Fry slowly on each side for five min
utes. A sauce can be made by thick
ening with flour and adding milk OF
cream Serve on toast. A smooth
tomato sauce also is an excellent ac-
commandment to these mushrooms.
Yield: 2 servings.
Mushrooms and Steak
Broil a nice. thick tenderloin of
beef. Trim off suet and fry out.
To the fat add l onion, l tomato and
small green pepper. Season with
celery salt, pinch of curry if de-
sired, and salt to taste. When all is
thoroughly Drowned, strain and add
broiled mushrooms. Mix well ana
pour over steak. Garnish with pars-

your own way and not in this boys
way.
PLAIN JANE: In the first place.
all women do not talk about such
things. Most of them have their
minds too full of their homes, fam
lilies or outside interests In the
next place. think your friend is a
little off. And since she annoys
you so much and makes you merry
ous-which should think she would
even at the risk of being without
friend. | should drop her. a
friend is person to enjoy. but you
are not enjoying her. Instead of
that you are irritated and l cannot
see that it is worthwhile.
1t seems as though by little
effort you might find someone else
to take the place of this friend even
though you are not entertaining just
now. There are many others who
are unable to entertain with whom
you and your husband would doubt
less have much in common
If you go to a church. attend any
of its meetings or belong to any
organization, you ought to find at
least one other congenial person.
Even if you do not, I think you
should break away from this woman.
Once rid of her, you will have a
stronger incentive to make another
friend. for you can find way to
make one If you will.
No. don't think you silly. but !
do think you need little advice.
Yes, write again sometime.
BASHFUL SUE: Your stepmother
has a good deal to answer for. Isn't
there someone with whom you can
talk who will help you? If you are
living in Seattle | could suggest
someone for you to go to, but you do
not give the name of the place from
which you are writing, and I could
not read the postmark, so | have no
idea of where you live.
One remedy is to fill your mind so
full of your baby. husband. home and
other people and things. to read
worthwhile books, magazines and the
events of the day in newspapers that
you just naturally have no time left
to think about yourself. What you
do and say will then be spontaneous
and unconscious rather than self-con-
scious.
BLUE AND DISCONTINUED:
agree with you that il the young man
vet cares he will write or come to see
you and that you should not write
to him again.
A man may like girl much and
enjoy her company for quite a while,
but for some reason he suddenly may
decide that she is not the girl he
wants to marry. and leave her for
someone else. 1t happens over and
over again that the girl in the mean
time has learned to care for the man
and, as consequence, is the one tt
suffer If a girl shows too plainly
| that she cares, man loses interest
much more easily, too. | hope this Is
not your trouble. | can understand
from what you say why ii is espc
cially hard for you and am truly
sorry. But try to make up your mine
that if this Dung man does not care
for you, you certainly are not going
to waste any time caring for him. MOI
let him make you unhappy. There |!
plenty of time yet to meet the RICH
person and | feel certain that yol
will.

Aids to Beauty

When we speak of brushing the
teeth we really mean also brushing
the gums, FOR even if we wanted to
brush the teeth alone it would be
difficult undertaking. But we want
to brush the gums. They need the
fraction. The primary use of the
toothbrush is not understood by the
rank and file of the people. There
is one class we'll represented by the
vounp ladies who naturally want to
look beautiful. and whose main in
centive to brush the teeth is to make
them look we'll There are others
who brush the teeth to keep them
clean and prevent the formation of
cavities in them. Besides the objects
we should wish to keep the gums and
supporting structures healthy. II
you take mirror and look in your
month YOU will see that between the
teeth at the gums are little inter
stices in which food may lodge to
decompose and bring about decay of
the enamel and cause irritation of
the gums. Ii is necessary to dislodgc
all such material from these places.
Cross-brushing does not accomplish
them. The rotary or rolling motion
of the brush is the most useful.
throwing the brstles into these
spaces and freeing foreign matter
from them.
MRS H.: Foods which are helpful
in counteracting constipation be-
cause of their rich content of acids
and salts include raw and cooked
fruits-figs. prunes, raisins, plums,
peaches, cherries, Strawberries, rasp-
berries. grapes, apples, pears. Fat
facilitates the action by fabrication,
so include butter, oil and cream.
f. s.: Deficiency in oxygen is re-
sponsible for your sickly pallor and
lack of vitality. We should breathe
fresh air continuously. Keep the
temperature of your room Mt 6S de-
grees +. Rooms should not be sealed.
Lower your window from the top.
MARIE P. Strenuous exercise is
necessary to reduce the bust. 1t
must be done Systematically every
day at certain time and for GER
tain length of time. Rowing, bag
punching and swinging Indian clubs
are recommended.
RUTH H.: To reduce the face, il
is necessary to reduce generally, the
face losing its share of the excess.
AGNES: An offensive breath de-
mands immediate attention. 1t may
be a catarrhal condition, enlarged
tonsils or a stomach condition. You
must get at the root of the trouble
and eliminate it. Treat the nose and
throat with an antiseptc solution.
If your digestion is at fault, eat the
proper kinds of food and keep the
bowels open. The condition of your
teeth may be responsible.
l.. p, H.: You do not require
much meat. especially during the
summer months. On vegetable
diet, you are less liable to grow stout
and again, vegetables tend to keep
the intestines active. This is partic-
ularly true of fresh green vegcta-
bles, such as spinach, lettuce, celery,
asparagus and beet tops.

Introducing a Miracle

To the cynical who think the age of miracles in
politics is past we submit Will Wood as Exhibit A.
Perhaps you have heard of Will You might not
unless you pay attention to the ongs of congress Then
you would discover that he is one of the dozen in
washington who sit back and run the government
1t has taken him thirty-six years to arrive at
his position of power-eighteen years in our own
indiana legislature and eighteen years in congress
Now among other things he is chairman of the house
appropriations committee. Chairman in this case
means near-dctator.
He holds the money bag. Neither the lowliest lob
oyist nor the President can put through pet ap-
preparation until viii graciously lets the appeal come
out of the committee room in which so much has
been rejected or accepted for the political barrel
If Will were not old guard regular he would
not be chairman of the Republican national con-
gressonal committee and chairman of the house
appropriations committee. Others may bolt at times.
but on major issues VIII simply has to be regular
or the administration JAMS
1t is not question of going with the crowd. #
is party loyalty. Years ago when Hoover was most
popular and it was popular to be Hoover man. the
gentleman from Indiana attacked Hoover "as the
country's most expensive luxury"
But when Hoover became the Republican candi-
date and the Republican President Will gave him
complete cooperation a matter of party duty
If it had not been SO, many of the White House
measures would have been strangled by his trusty
purse string
Wood them has been pretty big part of "the
administration"
NOW he has broken with Hoover policy Believe
it or not, Wednesday he walked out of conference
with the President and to the amazement of the
waiting correspondents proceeded to put the Hoover
financial policy on the spot
He began with the Hoover billion-dollar bond
issue. What he had to say about the iniouity of
unloading our operating debts and deficits on future
generations calculated to cause more consterna
ton in the White House than the receipt of gross
of assorted hair shirts.
What we need is a balanced budget said the
watchdog of federal appropriations
Then he got painfully specific:
Cut the army and navy, and cut lot! There
went the navy departments hope of building UP
to the London treaty"
Cut the federal farm board! There crashed an
other plank in the administration platform
And cut many other branches of the govern
ment, said he
Whereupon Will Wood strobe down the White
House steps and away to. To what? To war
between Hoover and the house Republicans? To
fight for increased surtaXes and death duties on the
rich TO wipe out the prospective two and half bill
lion dollar operating deficit?
Who knows? One miracle has happened Maybe
others will follow.
