Mushrooms
Good Lenten
Menu Dish
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

TIME for an article on mushrooms!
Almost invariably a popular food,
mushrooms are particularly appre-
ciated for Lenten meals, because of
their meat-lie flavor. This flavor is
so good that we buy them entirely
on this account and combine them
with other foods more highly endowed
with nutritive value.
Mushrooms are now at the height
of their season. Early each morning
the huge trucks lumber on their way
to market. They are loaded with
baskets of creamy mushrooms. Color
is generally symbol of freshness,
although there is one type of mush-
room that Is seen in the market
occasionally which has a natural
brownish hue. A test for freshness
which applies to all mushrooms Is
that of texture: both caps and stems
should be firm to the touch.
Mushrooms not only need, but de-
mand a short cooking. My favorite
method is to cook them in butter
about five minutes. They may be
seasoned and served on toast without
any additions. A few tablespoons of
sherry flavor added. after they are
cooked. provides a special touch. If
you like, you may add a little cream
and dash of nutmeg. IF you want
creamed mushrooms, stir into them
-four in about the same quality as
the butter that was used in frying
them. When this is well blended, add
milk or cream in the proportion of
one cup to one and half tablespoons
of -four. Sliced hard-cooked eggs
may be combined with any Of these
recipes If you would like to have O

water" we are constantly keeping our
bodies at the proper saturation point
through the liquid We obtain in our
regular food
I can remember when was living
in Berlin, just after the war, a general
strike was declared, during which all
supplies of light, heat and water were
to be turned off for "a hours. We all
rushed around, filling every available
pitcher and bucket-even flower vases
with water, so as to be sure we would
have plenty. My daughter was about
3 months old at the time, and had to
have water in her formula-so things
were really quite complicated.
After everything that could be
dragged from pantry shelves and store
closets had been filled to the brim. it
still seemed that we would need more.
The only thing left was the bath tub
so we scrubbed it well. filled it to the
very top, and used that water for all
external purposes, dipping out small
quantities as we needed them.
At first, all went we'll and we
thought it was rather exciting to wear
fur coats indoors, dress, read and cook
by candlelight and ration the water
like shipwrecked crew. The meals
were prepared on rather primitive
oil stove. that the cook was desperately
afraid Of, so that my husband or my
self had to personally light the burners
and turn them out every time that
little job was required.
But the strike was extended for an
other IL hours-and then things
weren't so amusing. The baby caught
cold, the kitchen ceiling got smoked
up-and our landlady was impossibly
fussy-everything in the house drip
ped with candlewax-and all the water
except three inches in the bottom of
'he bathtub was gone! After enduring
about three hours good thirst, scruples
and training went by the board-we
drank that bathtub water with heart
felt gratitude!
1t shows what people will do under
unforeseen circumstances. And at
that, of course. we hadn't done any
real, honest-to-goodness suffering

Etiquette
For Those
InMOurning
Sending Flowers and
Calling on the
BereaVed.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: You answered
~ a reader recently that it is heart
less to ask a friend in mourning to
come to a general party. Will you
answer further and write what you
think should be done about the hus-
band COR wife) of the person in mourn
ing? Should he COR she) be asked
alone?
Ansver-Unless the circumstance
is very exceptional. the husband ana
wife are considered as being equally
In mourning.
Dear Mrs. Post: A group of us-all
members of the same bridge club as
a Young man who just lost his
tnother-would like to send spray
of flowers to the funeral, or else some
thing to him. Which would be more
suitable and what should we put on
the card if it is to accompany flowers
to the funeral?
Answer-Send flowers to the fu-
neral addressed to him.

Dear Mrs. Post: A new family
moved into our neighborhood last
Fall. I am not acquainted with them
I meant to call on them when they
moved, but am a very busy woman
and do not get around to making calls.
But now there has been a sad death in
the family of one of the children and
I want to do what can, but don't
know what would be correct.
Answer-Under such circumstances
no one thinks about correctness, but
the kindness of neighbors is a very
real obligation. Go to the house and
ask if there is anything you can do
is always appreciated. and so is sin
cere note of coincidence. And not
only in this instance. but anywhere
at any time, if you feel an impulse to
do anything that is kind, follow this
impulse always!

Dear Mrs. Post: 1t was my mothers
custom to observe the very deep
mourning of her day. And now
naturally want to do what I think
she would approve. But when I went
out in crepe veil-the day after the
funeral-people stared at me so that
I hurried home. And now I don't
know what I should do. Will you
advise me?
Answer think you should lay
aside your veil. but otherwise wear
mourning. AT least here in New York
O crepe veil has In the last few years
become startlingly conspicuous. And
this is, I am sure, something that
your mother would not have wanted
your mourning for her to be.

RY ELSIE PIERCE.

TAs IF you need proof of the fact
"A that woman's crowning glory IN
general and the coiffure in particular
are all-important this season-witness
the two caps designed to prolong the
life Of a setting.
All the snug-fltting sureness OF an
aviatrix flying helmet is contained
in a coiffure cap made of French net.
You're a restless sleeper. You should Mt
be. of course. You should take eXer-
cises and nightcaps and try ever SC
hard to get a full measure of sound,
restful sleep. But that's not part
of the lesson today. Anyway, until
you snap out of it, since you are
restless sleeper and your curls have
a way of doing disappearing act
the morning after a setting, you
should know about this coifture-
retaining cap Keep it on while you
are sleeping, or trying to, and wnlle
you are changing your clothees. II
will keep your curls intact and
mere stroke of the comb through
your locks will put them blissfully
in their place.
The cap comes in Just one size
but it is adjustable because OF the
elastic in the back, fits a 19 head size
as well as %. You catch hold at
each end, stretch the elastic to put
it on. Forehead first. then the rest
of the head and then streamers tied
under chin or back at the nape OF
the neck. Twin seams at the top
make the cap fit better and make II
easy to grasp for removal. You slip
It backward. and it's of, with not a
single little lock of that lovely couture
out of place. In black, white, brown
and pastel shades. inexpensive. too.
The other cap is for shower addicts
whose song rides the crest OF the
wave and dies with it. Without cap
there's the water and steam to con-
tend with. With the cap-that Is, the
tight rubber cap of yesteryear-the
couture f1attens and goes hayw1re
anywhere. But the modern version
of the shower cap is a ruboerlzeo
silk cap, ties like good old-tashloned
Easter bonnet under your chin. 1t
does the trick without being tight.
If sister prefers tub baths-particularly
the very hot, turkish bath variety
we warn you she'll borrow your cap
for keeping out the steam.
Fortified with caps like these, a
few hairpins and a knack that comes
with a little practice, you can prolong
the life of a setting by days and days.

card their one trump card For the
most charming thing in the world is
youth, and the freshness and the
ardor and the enthusiasms of youth.
Not all the experienced sirens on earth
have the allure that young girl has
who is dewy with freshness and inno-
cence, who still has the artleSs faith
of childhood, and who is wide-eyed
over the wonders of life. 1t is magic
that makes older women want to give
her parties and before which men 60
down like ripe wheat before the sickle.
Then there are the girls who pose
as literary when they have never
even read a sixth best seller. Or who
affect to be musical when they don't
know Tannhauser from Anheuser
Busch. Or who pretend to be globe
trotters when they have never been
so miles from home. Or who speak
Familiarity of dear Caroline Croesus
and how dull Mrs. Millionbucks' par
ties are, and tell you what the Presi-
dent said the last time they had tea
with him. They merely make laugh
ing-stocks of themselves. for they
get their wires crossed in the first
five minutes of conversation and give
themselves away.
EVERYBODY sets them down as
- pretentious fools and avoids them,
but likely as not they are sensible
enough on their own ground and
would be agreeable il they stayed
there. EVERYBODY honors and respects
the girl who goes out and makes her
own living and who is interested in
her work and enthusiastic about it,
but we all despise the girl who pre-
tends that she merely stands behind
a counter or pounds typewriter for
fun or because she was bored with
society.
But the most disastrous mistake OF
all is for a girl to pose as rich when
she Is poor and overdress her part.
Many a girl loses a good husband be-
cause she looks too expensive. You
know the kind of girl who will pick
up a remnant in the basement and
make herself a pretty frock, but If a
man compliments it she will say: "Oh,
this! It's nothing, just little French
model that was marked down and that
I got for $125.
And the man says goodnight and
is gone, but would have stayed If she
had told him that she was wizard
with a needle and a conjurer who
could get a $50 cents out of dollar.

cially for girls. DOROTHY DIX.

~ phrase goes, whenever they
wish to impress any one or make a
hit with a man. Apparently they are
never satisfied with themselves and
think that they can Improve on the
handiwork of God, so they preen and
pose and pretend until a perfectly
natural girlie-girl has become almost
as much rara avis as dodo or a
phoenix or any other legendary species
of fauna.
Basically they start with trans
forming their physical appearance
and their names. Those who we're
christened Mary and Susan and Jane
suddenly became Marye and Suzanne,
Joan when they are not glorfled into
Yvonnes and Angelettes and Mirelles.
Plump little Ann, who is all curves
and dimples, changes herself into a

TAKE, for instance, the present
pose of being sophisticated that
girls assume. Half the little Is and II
year old. girls you know get themselves
up in slinky black costumes, with
makeup on that makes them resemble
corpse that has been dug up for
the second autopsy, and they wear an
expression of utter boredom with a
world whose pleasures they have ex-
hausted.
They are blase, cynical; nothing
interests them, nothing gives them
q thrill. They believe in nothing and
smile in pitying contempt upon their
doddering parents and the senile old
sters who still have faith in the true,
the beautiful and good. Nothing
pleases them so much as to be told
that they are hard-boiled and that
they are drinking too much and smok-
ing too many cigarettes.
You don't know whether to laugh
at these dumb little idiots whose
camoufaged worldliness is so trans
parent that a blind man could see
through it, or to turn them across your
knees and spank them.

N 70 HALFWAY measures this
n time: a smooth fitting tailor
made demands a smooth
i Y foundation beneath it. Even
the casual frock looks smarter over
a perfect foundation. A slick surface
and a small waist are the most wanted
features in a next-to-the-skin gar
ment this Spring. and the answer is
satin lastex that gives freedom OF
movement where you need it and yet
controls any deviations from what we
consider a perfect figure. The all-in-
one garment continues the up-lift
bust contour, and favors roundness
rather than the extremely pointed
effect.
We are apt to think that any girdle
will do, and often select one quickly
from a bargain counter without par
ticular regard to anything but price
and size. But this usually proves to
be disappointing purchase and often
a sheer waste of money.

very intimate garment so that it

a very large percentage of women who
are not getting the best type of gar
ment for their particular needs. Be
sure to try the garment on in the
shop, allowing the salesperson to give
suggestions and have any alterations
made that are necessary. Even an
inexpensive garment should be tried
on in the store. You would hardly
think of buying a dress without trying
it on, and yet, how much more i'm

by ADA JACKSON

No tranquil ordered day of ours
Bur some lad paid its bloody price;
No JOY that brims our hands but lives
By reason of dire sacrifice;
No love but that fulhls itself
Upon their broken loves no nights
OF quiet sleep but others wept
Their cost on Golgotha's grim heights.
They gave their safety for our own;
For us they fought and bled and died;
Drained sorrows cup, took on themselves
The anguish of the Crucihed;
Bought our slow ease with pierced hands,
Our laughter with their piteous cries;
Our singing with pale silenced lips,
Our wonder with their blinded eyes.
Their names are writ on every flower
On every tree their sign is set.
Birds are their words; by day and night
The very stones cry out our debt.
We will keep faith Our hands take up
The charge their dying hands let fall -
And in an everlasting peace
We build their proud memorial.
