Cover and let quail brown well. Then
add half cup water, and set pan in
oven, covered with buttered paper.
Cook for 20 minutes, and serve hot,

DOVES may be prepared in the

entrails removed, as little will be left

The season locally for rabbit is also

HUNTERS RABBIT.
Skin and clean the rabbit. Wash
well, draw and cut into pieces at
the joints. Rub well with salt and
pepper. Place In a saucepan with
one tablespoon melted butter and
let brown. When nicely golden add
one slice Of ham, minced fine: one
onion, chopped; one Glove Of garlic.
two sprigs of thyme and two bay
leaves-all minced. Stir we'll and
let all brown for two or three minutes,
add one tablespoon of flour. let brown
some more, and then add one pint
of consomme. Cook slowly for one
hour, season well to taste. Add one
can Of mushrooms chopped fine, the
rind of a lemon, and cook for 80
minutes longer. This sounds COM
plicated, but the Savory result Is we'll
worth the effort.
RABBIT WITH ONIONS.
Prepare rabbit as above, cut into
pieces and place in saucepan, with
water to cover. Cook until tender.
Peel and quarter the onions and
cook for 10 minutes in boiling water.
Drain, squeeze the pieces in cheese
cloth until dry and chop fine. Fry
with little butter until light brown.
add one tablespoon flour, one-half
cup cream and season well. Stir until
thickened. Set rabbit on hot platter
and pour sauce over all. Garnish
with parsley and lemon slices.

Asst Saturday We discussed the
matter of choosing bulbs and

their pottlng-anO We promised
~ to cover the subject of green
plants this week. So here We are with
plant and trowel!
When you plan for green plants, buy
glazed potS-it is now contended that
they are much better than the old
fashioned clay containers. 1t has
been discovered that plants seem to
thrive better in non-pOrous pots and
botaniStS say that the reason for this
is that the glazed receptacles keep
the moisture in the soil longer. The
absorbing and porous quality Of the
old clay pot allows the moisture to
escape before the plant can drink up
the water it needs. 1t was, however
brought out that there are a few
plants that do still thrive best in
clay pots-so you need not throw
them out If you already have them
or eliminate them entirely from your
proposed indoor garden. Ferns and
the quaint old snake plant will be
very happy in the oldfashioned con-
tainer.
The soil that comes with the plant
when you purchase it is generally Of
good quality and remains healthy for
quite some time-but 1t is wise to
supply it with a fertilizer tablet once
in a while-they can be bought at any
florist or nursery. Aereation comes

CINCE all plants need moisture and
humidity, this should be provided,
and q good way to conserve needed
moisture is to place the pots on trays
or pans filled with pebbles or gravel.
The water that seeps through the
drainage holes will collect at the bot
tom Of the trays and supply 3 moist
atmosphere. If you are successful In
creating and maintaining the necessary
moisture, you will find that hitherto
coveted tropical plants such as aglao-
nema. which has variegated oval
leaves: anthuriums, which often has
gay red or orange callalike flowers;

VOU cannot serve two masters. You
cannot do two things at the same
time. To have successful career a
woman must give to it the best that
is in her; her thoughts, her time, her
energies, her ambitions. 1t must come
before everything else with her. To
be successful wife and mother and
homemaker, she must give to her task
her thoughts, her time, her energies.
her ambitions. 1t must come first
with her. And no sophistries can
reconcile the two opposing aims in her
life.
The woman lecturer must be away
from home much of the time. So
must the actress. So must the woman
who follows any public career. The
woman doctor must be at the beck of

II you think you do not have
enough sunshine in your house for
plants to thrive, don't give up the idea
of having them entirely. for there are
many species which grow best in the
shade. Almost any of them will grow
with just ordinary window light-if
the necessary moisture Is provided
they will grow beautifully. Creeping
fig CFicus hepens). angeltear or baby
tears (hexline) and various types Of
hardy fern will be happy in the shady
window. Ivies, wandering jew and as
pidistras will grow anywhere. so you
may have those, too. The Winter flow
ering primrose and cyclamen, by the
way, that come around Thanksgiving
and Christmas time will prolong their
life and beauty in a shady nook.
MIDGET Japanese gardens Of va
rious cacti will grow anywhere
and are the least of trouble to raise.
Cleverly arranged in attractive shall
low bowls, they are fascinating and
interesting to have around the house.
They are perfect apartment plants
and lend themselves obligingly as the
ideal table centerpiece when unex-
pected company drops in for dinner!
The miniature plants grow in gravel
and water, or rocks and water. An
attractive combination seen recently
was an arrangement of striped leaf
pepromia, grape vine, and dainty
Philadelphia ivy, which climbed a
stump of cork bark, and several
species of cacti and hardy fern. A
tiny Japanese figure and bridge COM
pleted the picture. Another group
consisted Of a midget umbrella tree,
variegated vine, Japanese evergreen
and California redwood burr which
had tiny shoots of bright green.
FASCINATING old-fashioned straw
berry jars Of gay pottery planted
with tiny-leafed ivy and cacti are al
ways Joy and they. too. can be used
anywhere in the house-some Of them
may be hung in the window or placed
on grilled wall racks. If it is a stately
hall plant you are longing for. you
will find the drecema ideal-it grows
quite tall and has broad. waxy leaves.
Old-fashioned rubber plant is good,
too. for the hall and blends particu-
larly we'll with the ultramodern set
ting. Even the kitchen window sill
may sport few gay potted plants
one Of real use would be q pot Of
chives!-and If you want an inexpen-
sive vine with personality, put an
ordinary sweet potato in jar and
watch it sprout and grown a week S
time you will have a graceful running
vine ready to compete with any Of
your more sophisticated plant pets!
