Suitable Menus
for Light Dinner
Will Appeal to Those Not
DESTROYS of Adding
to Weight.

"Could you please give me some
suggestions on light dinner menus?
My daughter has lost weight but Is
gaining again. She goes to business,
has light lunch and is quite hungry
at night. AS she does not want to
gain any more, l am at loss to
know what to cook. Do you think
that you could help me out?"
The dietary expert to whom this
appeal was directed gives the fol-
lowing advice:
II is perfectly possible to have
attractive light dinners. Every once
in a while someone whom l have
asked for dinner begs me to provide
few "calories." Perhaps you will be
interested in a few menus of this
type which l have served recently.
/ began one meal with cantaloupe
as the first course. Next came a
broiled chicken, broiled tomatoes
with minced onion and string beans
dressed with just enough cream to
moisten and flavor them. Dessert
was merely cheese and crackers and
coffee.
Another meal of the same type
began with tomato juice cocktail.
The next course was lamb chops.
Baked onions and caulifower with
brown butter were the vegetables.
The meal ended with salad made
of grapefruit and persimmons with
a french dressing.
Another light dinner might begin
with hot clam juice. For the main
course veal steak with touch Of
garlic, creamed mushrooms and
spinach might be served. l suggest
sliced oranges and grapefruit for
dessert.
Here Is just one more menu, which
begins with vegetable soup and has
broiled steak and sliced raw toma
toes and onions as a main course.
For dessert, coffee Jelly garnished
with a dash of whipped cream will
do very nicely.
Veal With Bacon.

made at the Broseley foundry, no
one knows much about the engine.
But 1t Is known that the stationary
engines designed by James Watt
were being made at Broseley years
before the first locomotive was built
and this Is believed to be the last
working survivor Of these engines.
Every part of 1t Is cast iron; east
and smelted from iron ore that was
mined In the locality. There was a
rust-resisting quality about the
Broseley iron made about that time.
The iron has never been sheltered,
but is as good as when first cast.
Only one Of the original parts of
the machine has ever been replaced,
the piston, year or two ago.
For 80 years the engine was oper-
ated by one man. Now 1t Is In
charge Of his son.
