Pleasing The Man
By CHLOE JAMESON

|
 While you are busy revising bud- gets for the coming year, there may be @ temptation to cut fod bills where no cutting should be done. You may try lowering the quality of butter served at table, buying c grade eggs and milk, and resort to such clever little tricks as skimp- ing the quality of coffee used when making the morning cup, thinking your husband so used to first class coffee that he will never question 1t.
 Beware in all three directions especially about the coffee. Nothing can 50 quickly send Q man off to work in & bad humor as one spineleSs cup of coffee followed by a second cup taken in the hope of finding the old-time vigor denied by number one.
 As to the blend you use, let it be the one that suits your tastes best. A few cents more or less amount to very little in the long run, when divided by the cost per cup. But the way you make the coffee matters, and the amount used counts most of all.
 The great cooks unite in prescrib- ing one heaping tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup and an- other spoonful for the pot, whether coffee is porcolated, dropped or boiled. Tn all cases the pot must be sweet and clean, the water bub- bling briskly when poured over the ground coffee, if you use drip pot. as most women do in these days because of it's convenience and re- liability. No watching the clock is necessary to prevent under or over- cooking by this method. no extrac- ton of bitter oils results.
 Serve plenty of coffee cream, if at all possible. If a substitute is necessary and your husband dis- likes the taste of canned cream, do not spoil his beverage by using it for economy's sake. Try introduce ing him to rich hot milk and cof- fee blended, Boston fashion, or boil milk down to cream-like consist ency.
 As to butter, eggs and milk of less than first quality. let the sav- ing be made on those products when used in cooked recipes, so far as possible maintaining the best for table use. Fresh grade c eggs (usually fertile eggs are quite all right in cooked rceeipes, while fas- tidious tastes might question them if served boiled. poached or plain fried. Grade c milk may be aG fresh and wholesome as grade 4, but will lack richness. Use it for soups, sauces. gravies and cooking where i8 fat deficiency can be made up by the use of butter.
 There are ways of saving that please the man. and ways that dU just the opposite. T'iese hints, [ earnestly believe, are ail in the right direction.

-THE CHEF UGGEsTs---- It Is False Economy To Use
 Cheap Materials In Cooking
By JOSEPH BOGGIA- Chee-The PIaxa-New York

I tomato stewed, one no longer knows its original size or whether it was shapely. But the taste of freshness is green food, the sweet, mellow flavor of good butter-even good cooking butter, if you will--the flavor and tenderness of well-fed beef and lamb and pork, even down to the least expensive cut, cannot be initiated by using their equiva- lents of poor quality.
 Better to serve two meals with out meat, relying eggs, cheese, milk and nuts, the well known meat substitutes, and then to have one meal for which you can buy excellent meat.
 I have another suggestion to make to the home cook, although believe I have mentioned 1t before: Seek more frequently the advice of your butcher and consult him as to the different cuts of meat. Many times he can tell you of Q better cut for your purpose.
 For the recipe for today would give you a special one for hare, which is now in season. It is 8 most delicate meat and plentiful in certain sections.
 Have the hare cleaned and cut in pieces. Fry the meat lightly in butter with onions and minced car- rots. Adyd little flour, molten with red cooking wine and brown stock; add a clove of garlic and bunch of herbs, and cook until the meat is half tender. Then put the meat into another saucepan, sur- round with small praised onions, dice of bacon fried out, rnush- rooms. Strain over all the sauce and finish cooking. Before serving thicken the sauce until 1t is of the consistency of gravy.

Service Without Ser
vants-Refusing
a Course.
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST: My husband
and I were invited to dinner in a
house which is servantless and where
serving must be done at the table by
the host (and hostess). Accordingly
the host carved and put meat and
vegetables and gravy on the plates,
and passed the first one to me at his
right without any one saying anything
about my keeping it. So ] instructive
ly passed it on up the table, because
without being assured that it was for
me I felt a little as if would be ap-
pointing myself the guest Of first i'm
portance by keeping it. The plate
Travelled on up the table until it
reached the hostess, who accepted it
as matter of course and other plates
followed right and left until 1 was
served last before the, host. I didn't
feel that this procedure was exactly
polite to me, but still don't know
whether I would be justified under
similar conditions to keep the first
plate without being told to do so.
Answer: think that your impulse
was the natural one. and that it was
the hosts place to say to you, This
plate is for you
Dear Mrs. Post: What is a guest to
do when the main course at a lunch
party is one that she cannot eat?
Certain foods are like poison in my
system and even to nibble at them
makes me seaSick. must admit that
this extreme aversion to certain foods
is probably not general among your
readers, but at least many people must
encounter the awkwardness of having
hostess get all upset when she sees
those at her table are net eating some
things. don't mind going hungry all
afternoon half so much as I do the
to-do some hostesses make about it.
Answer: 1t is true it does distress
many hostesses to find that the food
they have ordered is displasing to a
guest. But, on the other hand, this is
something that we must all meet with,
and the hostess who lets it seriously
distress her has very little worldly
knowledge, or savoir-faire. If you re-
fuse one dish, she should not only say
but she should try to appear
not to notice it. II you refuse every
thing, which have seen happen more
than once. she would perhaps ask you
If she could get you something, and
you should answer that you have. let's
say, very bad headache, and that you
are very sorry. She says nothing
more.

(Tilia americana).

live to be 100 years old and send out
millions Of seeds. No American tree
has more abundant foliage. It is
very ornamental and useful as a shade
tree. for its many gray branches SUBJ
divide into thousands of reddish
twigs.
In the Winter you see the millions
of plump dark red buds. The tree Is
a stately one, with a spreading, round
top. 1t reaches a height of rs to 125
feet. has q trunk 2 to feet
in diameter and has handsome bark
that is deeply furrowed. The leaves
are heart-shaped and grow alternate.
The flowers arrive in July. They are
small, yellowish white and perfect.
Their fragrance calls the myriads of
bees to come and sip. This is why the
linden should be planted as bee tree.
Later the fruit, cluster Of woody,
pealike balls of gray, will replace the
dainty blossoms.
Lindens prefer the spots where rich
forests can thrive. There are 16 recog-
nized species of this tree. They range
widely in the Northern Hemisphere,
skipping Central Asia, the Himalaya
district and Western America. They
flourish from New Brunswick to Da-
kota, South to Virginia, along the
mountains to Alabama and west to
Texas.
Its large, strong root system goes
deep and wide into the soil to reach
and obtain food and water Very little
Of the linden tree goes to waste. Fag--
gots of linden wood make a fine grade
Of charcoal. In Europe the bark Of
young trees is made into shoes for the
Russian peasant or sometimes fed as
fodder to animals. The "baSs-fiber"
of the inner bark is made into rope,
mats and flshnets, and at one time
used in greenhouses for tying ma
terial. The wood Is used for carriage
bodies, chair seats, shoe soles, wood
carving and fuel. The nectar serves
the bees; tea is made from the
flowers for indigestion. nervousness
and coughs And the balls yield oil
for cooking and table use. What more

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROUTS.

BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROUTS.
Ruts.
THE great German philosopher,
Emanuel Kant, lived in a rut all
his life. He never during all his 80
years travelled farther than 40 miles
from his native Konigsberg His
neighbors set their clocks by his round
OF activities.
Kant lived in a rut, physically
speaking. because he wanted to keep
his mind on his business-philosophy.
Very few men have travelled so far in
that direction.
Of course, a rut today is very
different thing from what it was in
Kant's time. We have wider ruts.
Tune in on the radio and you have
brought a lot Of the far away into
the here. One wonders if it Is not the
globe trotter who after all has the
narrower ruts. All depends on the
amount of thought and study that
goes along with travel. I believe
have found people who have Travelled
far and after all seen nothing.
From a psychological point of view
ruts are abused rather than used.
We are all in some respects bound to
our surroundings Much Of the dis
content in modern life is due to the
fact that some people don't know how
to define the word rut. If rut is
physical place merely, a section OF
territory, then the man who gets in
and stays put is not much different
from the fellow who gets out.
But if a rut Is a mental something,
the man who gets in and stays there is
vastly poorer than the one who is
able to voyage through strange seas
Of thought alone"

daytime and at night. In fact. they
do much of their hunting at night.
Now, it happened that the night be-
fore Reddy had hunted long and hard.
He had had to do lot of travelling
in order to find food. And so when
he had started out again early in the
morning he had been very tired. At
last he came to the pine covered slope
in the Green Forest, and there, in an
opening among the trees, the sun
poured down. The pine needles made
a soft, comfortable bed. I'll lie down
Just for few minutes and take a sun
bath" thought Reddy.
So Reddy did just that. He curled
up without any intention of going to
sleep. He would just enjoy the sun
and rest for a few minutes. In no
time at all he was fast asleep. and
he didn't waken until the voice Of
Farmer Browns Boy aroused him. So
chagrined did Reddy feel that he just
couldn't hold his head up. He caught
Q Mouse and. although he was very,
Nery hungry, he didn't think of eating
u. He hunted a little longer, hoping
TO get another. but he had no luck.
80 he picked up the one he had caught
and started for his home in the Old
Pasture. The eight little Foxes were
playing around the doorstep. Their
mother was keeping watch over them.
Reddy felt ashamed to have nothing
but that one Mouse to bring home.
Yes, sir, he felt very much ashamed.
Mrs. Reddy came to meet him. "Is
that all you've got?" asked she.
you've been gone long enough to
have caught enough for the whole

Reddy hung his head. Il know it,
my dear" said he. II was so tired
that lay down. and I fell asleep.
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I fell
asleep"
L thought you must have done
something of the SORT" replied Mrs.
Reddy. However, you don't need to
be ashamed. I know just how it is.
I've had to do the same thing. One
can go just so long. and no longer,
without rest. So don't hang your head
that way"
