Nancy Page Records
Call for Milk and
Vegetables.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

ELEANOR was not being too ener-
getic these days. She had been.
so her physician said, an almost ideal
patient with but one exception. She
did not want to follow his dietary
orders. She said she did not like
green vegetables, she despised cod
liver oil and she had no love for
milk.
If she were given her way she would
have lived on bread, jelly and other
spreads, meat, candy and nuts.
IT hate to be so insistant. Eleanor" :"
This was her husband speaking. But
you must drink more milk and eat
these green vegetables. 1 know I
sound like doctor, but I have read
enough to know that You need extra
supplies of mineral salts, especially
calcium. Just remember the way
you have had to go to the dentists
year in and year out and you won't
want to have any child of yours re-
peat the performance. And I know
you need more roughage than you are
getting"
Eleanor promised to do better. Her
own reading had proved to her that
the fate of first or baby teeth and
even second teeth was settled largely
before ever child was born. The
diet OF the mother-to-be was largely
responsible for strong white teeth.
She knew, too, that any human
body which is having an extra amount
Of waste material needs to pay espe-
cial attention to a method Of carry
ing of that waste. The cellulose or
woody fiber in vegetables offers
splendid broom or cleaning device for
the human body.
So spinach. green peas. green beans,
carrots, raw cabbage and lettuce were
accepted and, when she forgot her
prejudices, honestly liked and en-
joyed. She would take a cup of cocoa
and cress sandwich in the middle of
the afternoon as she rested on her
chaise Tongue with sunshine, flowers
and book beside her. She was sem
sible person, at that.

White-carved cornices conceal the
poles supporting ethereal white, chin
kled organdy curtains, lush with ruff
fles, which I saw in one model bed
room. They we're as dainty and airy
as a moonbeam, and would be charm
ing in young girls room. The wall
paper here was also on the pastel,
delicate tone, carrying out the fresh,
youthful effect.
Another point which have noticed
recently is that accessories are being
chosen more and more with care and
thought to their position as an in
tegral part of the room in which they
are to be. The old haphazard idea of
anything goes" as far as vase or
lamp is concerned. is rapidly disap-
pearing Clever brides and housekeep-
ers are becoming ruthless in wedding
out unnecessary ornaments. Even if
they cannot afford at the moment to
replace them with some more appro-
pirate piece they do without either,
rather than spoil the effect of lovely
room by one jarring note. In this they
show wisdom, for a room rarely suffers
from what it lacks in the way of Or
namentation-but oh, how some of
them do suffer from an overabundance
of it!
You know how, if you see hat
that does not go with anything else
in your wardrobe, and temptation
triumphs over commonSense, you
either never wear the hat, because
there is nothing to go with it-or you
spend lot of money to purchase a
dress and accessories just on purpose
to set it off. Unfortunately, a whole
room is not such simple matter to
settle-but the offense is just as great
in introducing the discordant note.
And, most of us, when we have made
such a mistake. have to stick by it,
until the furniture wears out, the
article breaks and the paint peels off
the walls! So do choose wisely and
well, down to the littlest ash tray,
that your four walls may hold nothing
within their confines that you in
stinctively rebel against.
In a modern room beware of too
much metal tubing and sharp angles.
A little is good, when handled with
Judgment and restraint-too much
looks like so-called futuristic play
room of the roaring 20S. Leather
coverings are beautiful and practical,
unless chosen In too light a shade.
They are expensive, in the initial pur-
chase, of course, but give splendid
service in the long run. However,
here in Washington, thought must
also be given to Summer weather, and
if you buy leather chairs and sofas
plan to get straw mating seats and
backs for them for the dog days
Otherwise, both your friends and your
furniture will suffer!
And. by the way, did you ever try
the tropical trick Of putting thin
straw mating on your bed for the hot
nights? It Is SO much cooler to lie on
than sheets, and will thus insure you
more hours of relatively comfortable
slumber when Summer really decides
to descend upon U.s.

Vegetables
Need Color
And Flavor
Dinner of That Type
Gains Standing in
Food Realm.
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

A VEGETABLE dinner has come to
have its place on almost every
restaurant menu in the last few years.
1t is popular either as a luncheon or
a dinner main course. Its success de-
pends upon the quality of the vege-
tables, upon their combination. upon
the proper cooking and upon the ar
rangement upon the plate. For the
home meal all of these points are just
as important.
1t Is hardly necessary to say that
fresh, crisp vegetables should be
chosen. In selecting the kinds to
combine, vegetables of contrasting
texture, flavor and color should be
considered. While boiled vegetables,
buttered and seasoned well, will form
the mainstay of such a dinner, more
attractive and savory platter or plate
will have at least one broiled or Sautcd
vegetable. In one of New York's best
restaurants, the following combina-
ton is an appreciated dish. The veg
etables are served on large, individual
plates. In the center is poached
egg. topped with Hollandaise sauce

balls. rolled in minced parsley; but
tered string beans. glazed carrots, but
tered spinach and broiled caulif1ower.
The cauliflower is probably cooked as
usual. split into flowers, buttered and
slipped into the broiler a moment
The result of this varied treatment
of the vegetable is most appetizing.
At another restaurant, a broiled
vegetable dinner is famous. Mush-
room caps, tomato halves, celery
stalks and sweet potatoes are ar
ranged in individual oval caSseroles.
The sweet potatoes have undoubtedly
been parboiled before being arranged
in the dish. Butter is generously
spread over the vegetables, and they
are either baked in a hot oven or
broiled under a low flame. Some
times stalks or canned asparagus are
substituted for the celery.
A good combination Of fhe mex
pensive vegetables and canned vege-
tables can be made to advantage also.
Place q mound or mold Of rice in the
center of the plate and garnish with
a round of pimiento. Surround with
glazed onions, sauted parsnips, but
tered oyster plant, buttered lima
beans (canned) and spinach (canned
or fresh).
Glazed Onions.
Peel onions and cook in a small
amount of water with dash of sugar
and salt In heavy, covered utensil
until tender. When tender place in
a saucepan with two tablespoons of
sugar and two tablespoons Of butter.
Cook over a low fire until sugar is
melted. Baste with the sirup and
serve.

lovely objects for the furnishing of
her new home.
Brown and fawn seem to be the most
preferred for living room arrangements
at the moment. These harmonizing
tones combine so smoothly with the
copper banded furniture, and copper
accessories, as well as with the many
delightful knick-knacks made of cop
per-colored mirror glass, that a room
done in this manner is easy to as
semble to suit the individual taste.
For instance, in the living room

In feeling, the sofa is in brown
and fawn striped chenille. The arms
are completely covered in brown, and
the welting is in brown. The chair
repeats the color scheme, and the
glaSs-topped table, with a copper base,
harmonizes perfectly with the general
ensemble. All the accessories about
the room are of copper, or in coppery
tones, and the effect is warm and gra-
cious to degree.
Such room would always be in

the pieces themselves are so exagger-
ated as to be 'faddy' in any way.
Silvery white. combined with either
palest green or heavenly blue, is much
favored for bedrooms just now. White
Slated blinds, with either white or
contrasting bands, give a charmingly
diffused light, which is restful to the
eyes and yet do not give the room such
a pail of gloom as do the darker, solid
type of blind. White rugs-very i'm
practical. of course, but oh. so pretty!
are much in evidence One way of
solving the white rug problem and
combining utility with beauty, may
be found in the white goat-hair rugs,
which are thickly embroidered with
pastel-hued tropical flowers and birds.
These do not soil so easily, are small
enough to be taken up and shaken
well and wear surprisingly long. On
a dark, polished floor, in a white toned
bed room, they produce a delightfully."-
silvery and delicate effect.

r RAcHEL got home from school and
found the house darkened and
still. Mother was in bed, suffering
from a severe headache. I'm SO
sorry, Mother. I'll put the ice cap on
1t and make you cup of tea. Don't
think about anything. I will take
care of the children and get tea for
Daddy and them. Do try now to
get to sleep"
The two younger children. David
and Mollie, came racing up the walk.
to be suddenly hushed by the sight of
Rachel standing at the side door with
her finger on her lips. Softly the
two tiptoed to her. What is it,
Rachel? Anything the matter with
Mother?"
"She has a headache. We must be

the door, and, to his hasty inquiry,
Where is Mother?" Rachel said,
Mother is lying down with head
ache, but she is better now. She has
been sleeping. I have dinner ready"
Seated about the table, the children
told father how they had managed.
Rachel prepared the vegetables and
broiled the chops. Mollie had set the
table, David had guarded the tele-
phone bells and the door bell, and
watched to see that nobody made any
noise, himself included AS a last
duty, ne had prepared mothers tray
against the time when she would
waken and perhaps want something
to eat.

very well. Mother will be pleased

the bother she had teaching you TO do
things. Remember your first dinner,
Rachel?"
"Yes. I boiled the potatoes all to

dessert, and I didn't put any salt in
the spinach, and David cried, and it
was pretty awful. It was mighty good
of you not to throw me into the ash

"Oh, splendidly, Molly. She did

in your big chair-David has the
paper ready for you, and your slip

away. And we won't make a sound.
You see."
Years of patient teaching had gone
into this job. Many a day Mother
had been tempted to say, Run along,
all OF you, and leave me in peace and
quiet to get this work done," but she
had restrained herself, taken a long
breath, and once more cheerfully di-
rected Rachel and Molly and David to
carry on the household. Not so much
that the household might 60 on for
a time without her presence, but that
the children might 60 on when occa-
sion demanded.

Parents of Ones
Fiance.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: My mother in
sists that 1t is improper for
girl to buy tickets and ask boy to
dance given by a girls school other
than her own. She claims that the
girl who is inviting me first ought to
invite the boy I'd like to go with, and
then he would buy the tickets and
ask me. And, of course, don't agree.
What is your opinion?"
Answer: I am afraid am some
what bewildered by this question, but
let me see If your friend Mary goes
to X school and you go to A school,
can you then buy tickets for the x
school dance? Or does Mary buy them
and give them to you and your boy
friend Tommy? Or can Tommy Just
buy them at the stationery store?
After all, if the tickets are on sale,
why couldn't your mother buy them
and then let you invite Tommy? That
sounds all right to me. Or does your
mother think that Mary ought to sell
tickets to Tommy? This might not
help you very much unless you can
count on his inviting you, and not
some other girl, to go with him! AS

matter who gave them to you) and in
viting him to 60 with you, provided he
is boy who has given you similar in
vitations, or at least made his friend
ship for you unmistakably evident.
Dear Mrs. Post: I can't find any
advice to help me meet my fiance's
parents Thev live in distant town
and have written to me, but I am to
meet them for the first time. Please
help me to say the right thing
Answer: Such greetings can only
be friendly and warm if they are said
spontaneously. But the m -aning
would be: II am so glad to see you at
last" or Jim has told me so much
about you feel as though I've known
you all along" or whatever is true and
therefore natural for you to say.
Dear Mrs. Post: My brother, who
Is well established in life, is marrying
widow who also has no end Of pos
sessions, and any wedding present of
silver or linen or furniture would be
useless to them. What could you
suggest to send them?"
Answer: don't know what you can
do except to ask them to tell you
something they would like from you.
II they have no ideas. then you will
have to make the best choice you can.
