out in plum colored "Pickwick

and a dark, lean cigar, destined
long to be famous, was christened
The Penny Pickwick.'
1t was such a grandiose recep-

dering Pickwick himself, had he
been in the flesh, devoutly would
have desired. Sam Weller, his
servant, compounded of humor
and simplicity and fidelity, would
have revelled in it, too.

Va. GR|DDERS

UNIVERSITY, Va, Jan. g..
Fred Dawson, Virginia'S head
coach of football, will direct win
ter practice during February in
preparation for the 1884 gridiron
season.
The decision to start the drills
next Friday was made at a meet
ing attended by many of the men
who will be candidates for the
varsity eleven next fall. Coach
Dawson talked the situation over
with his men and they voted to
carry out four weeks of off-season
preparation throughout February.
None of the men who are out
for places on Virginia'S varsity
and first year winter sport teams,
in boxing, basketball, track and
swimming, will be called upon
to take part in the gridiron drill.
Coach Dawson expects to de-
vote most of the period to drill
in fundamentals of blocking,
tackling and charging. A few
simple plays may be worked out
later in the month, and there
may be a few light scrimmages
in the final week.
Virginia has a difficult grid
iron schedule next fall with
games against the Navy and
Dartmouth as we'll as against

COOKING HELPS
PROPOSED FOR
BUSINESS GIRL
Meals Easily and Quickly
Prepared Suggested for
Busy Women.

The business girl who is also a
homemaker, either for herself or a
family, has housekeeping problems
particularly her own. She must
plan meals which are not only ap-
petizing and nourishing, but they
must be easy to prepare and serve.
Here are few suggestions for
quickly cooked meals.
l. Sausages, baked with apples,
mashed potatoes, celery, rolls,
sponge cake with peach sauce over
it, coffee.
Arrange the sausages in a shallow
pan. pricking each one several times
with a fork. Core apples, but do not
pare. Cut in slices one-haf inch
thick and arrange around sausages

for about fifteen minutes.
Make a gravy with some of the
fat that has cooked out of the sau-
sages.
2. Broiled hamburger, cottage
fried potatoes, lettuce salad with
Russian dressing, toasted crackers,
cheese and jelly, tea or coffee.
3. Shoulder lamb chops, can

4. Clipped beef in cream. baked
potatoes (small-cooked in moder-

The business woman who keeps

ciples TO her home just as she does
to her office. Planning for left
overs is one way of doing it. Cook

is home at the end of the week VIII

eral meals.
She should attempt only simple
desserts; the bakery and the mar
ket provide wide variety of sweets
and time is too precious to spend
more than necessary in cooking.
Fresh fruits and vegetables should
be included very frequently.
