Entertainment

Just around the corner from all
Of us there is always someone who
does nice little things in a nice
way. Sometimes it is a woman who
serves afternoon tea everyday to
some few friends, (it's such a flat
terlng way of entertaining) or
maybe some other woman has nice
friendly bridge parties. Now
around our way there's a woman
who fixes nice little dishes in a
chatting dish. She does it right on
her lovely terrace these nice days
and it certainly delights everyone.
Here is one of her specialties:
CRABS A LA CREOLE
l green pepper, chopped
Glove garlic, chopped fine
small onion, chopped fine
tablespoon butter
cup tomatoes
l cup crab meat
Pepper and salt
Put the butter in the blazer;
when melted, add the garlic, onion,
salt, pepper and tomatoes, and let
cook ten minutes; add the crab
meat. Serve on hot buttered toast.

Campfire Cookery
Fish Recipes For
''Roughing IT.

Campfire cooking is really heaps
of fun and whether or not the food
to be prepared was home grown or
caught by the persons involved in
said cooking, the fun remains.
Here is a recipe for skewered fish,
(for small fish only) and with SO
many people fishing these days it
ought to come in very handy.
SKEWERED FISH
Small fish may be skewered on
thin, straight, greenwood stick,
sharpened at the end, with thin
slice of bacon or pork between
every two fish, the stick being con-
stantly turned over the Goals like
a spit, so that the juices are not
lost.
Another way is to cut some
green hardwood sticks, about three
feet long, forked at one end, and
sharpened at the other. Lay a thin
slice of pork inside each fish
lengthwise drive tines through fish
and pork, letting them through be-
tween ribs near backbone and on
opposite sides of the latter-then
the fish won't drop off as soon as
it begins to soften and curl from
the heat. Place log lengthwise of
edge Of Goals, laybroiling sticks on
this support, slanting upward over
the fire, and lay small log over
their butts.

matter of health.
And what is health? Health
is a matter of equality-of equal
power going TO all of the organs
Of the body. When there is inter

life power to any organ, there
is disease.
By my chiropractic health

they named the river Chagrin.

Dress for Two Lifetimes

Peasant girls in Eowicz, Poland,

yards of material are used in max
ing each one, but it lasts the owner
her lifetime, and is often good for
the lifetime of her daughter.

When preparing iceberg lettuce,
cut the stem out well up into the

end. The leaves, which are tightly
closed together, will then separate
and come off without breaking.

Dining Abroad
At Home
An Example OF Fine Chinese
Cooking

A change in any dish is always
desirable and when this change is
to be found in hard boiled eggs, it
is not only desirable but equally
as novel.
Very few would believe it unless
they themselves have seen proof,
but the chinese really eat other
foods than rice and bamboo
sprouts. In fact, their dishes are
well seasoned and of excellent
taste. This novel foreign recipe is
thoroughly and completely chinese
and a very good example of their
culinary ability. It will be a well
coined recipe as it will lend a fine
air to any gathering; for picnic
lunch, as an hors d'oeuvre or in a
salad.

ITS sometimes very interesting for
a girl to marry an unconventional
man. Indeed, some girls prefer him
to the more stereotyped boys who

least, she thinks, have given her the
chance to wear her new beach dress.
We think unconventional weddings
are splendid, ourselves. But still, We
think that bride and bridegroom
should work together. If he wants to
wear country corduroys, then she
should get out her cutest tennis frock.
If he wants to wear white linen, she
should at least have chance to
pick organde instead of satin.
But just in case this years crop OF
bridegrooms doesn't understand, we'd
like to point out that some girls think

They like it solemn, and costumed,

Dorothy Dix Says
Don't Be Pest to Friends With Summer
Homes Go Only When Invited.

woman, "and so We gave up our
place on the seashore much as We
would have enjoyed it could we have
been free from the self invited guests
who wished themselves upon us. But
no servants would stay and I wasn't
strong enough to do the cooking and
the houseWork for so many people.
and my husband didn't feel he could
afford to run a bar where the drinks
were always on the house and the
host had to supply the cigarettes and
gasoline for the cars. We sold the
house and spend our Summers travel
ing or at expensive resorts. It is so
much cheaper"
These are all bona-fide letters
selected at random from hundreds
Of others written by women who, like
the proverbial worm, have turned
at last and want to know if there
is not some way in which they can
defend themselves against these self
invited guests for whom they have
sweated and toiled through so many
hot Summers, while the company
lolled in hammocks in the shade and
waited for their poor tired hostess
to bring out iced drinks and cake.
X
pERHAPS the only way these put
upon hostesses can rid their
houses of their pestiferous guests is
to do something drastic, like putting
rough-on-rates in the cornmeal or
else getting hard-boiled enough to
say mo" to deadbeat friends and
relatives who propose themselves for
nice long visits in Summer. But in
either case kind-hearted woman
lacks the nerve to do it, so she is left
to the grafters.
But the situation calls renewed
attention to the strange effect that
temperature has in willing down our
manners and morals even as it does
our collars. For none OF these people
who descend upon their friends like
the locusts in July and August would
dream of doing such a thing in
December and January.
In Winter we wait until we are
asked before we 60 to our friends
houses even for dinner. We would
never think of such thing as driving
up to their doors with a car full of
strangers and call for drinks and food
as If We were in q roadhouse. But
in Summer all bets are of and we
pass the buck of making our friends
not only entertain us but entertain
our friends. Which explains why 50
many country places are for sale.

Problems
SOlV e d
Separate Cards Sel-
dom Used for Coun-
try Ceremony.
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: Why have you
said that the wording of invita-
tions to wedding in the country or
in the suburbs may include the re-
ception invitation on the same sheet,
but that when the wedding is in town
the invitation to the ceremony should
be on one sheet and the invitation to
the reception engraved on a card and
enclosed?
Answer-This is really not fixed
rule so much as the result of usual
circumstances. In town, people who
have large general visiting lists are
apt to invite this whole general list
to the church and then invite only
their more intimate friends to the
house. In the country, this distinc-
ton is seldom made, and therefore
invitations include church and house.
The house cards are necessary only
when the number of those invited to
the church greatly exceeds the num-
ber of those invited to the house In
town, the capacity of the church is
greater than that Of the house OK
very likely an apartment. This may
perhaps mean personal notes of in
vitation to the house. On the other
hand, the reason why the house invi-
tation is so often put on the church
invitation is that when people live
in the city, and also have country
house in which the wedding takes
place, they cannot invite friends from
town to the church alone, and there
fore are not apt to have a small
wedding in the country.
X X X *
DEAR MRS. POST: My daughter
has no middle name and her
husband-to-be's name is very long
when written out, so that their two
names will look unbalanced on the
wedding invitations. In this situation
would it be better to use initials for
part of his name rather than to en-
grave it all out?
Answer-There Is no reason why
the length of their names should in
any way match dn fact hers is sell
dom half the length Of his), but If
his name is longer than any other
line of engraving it would be better
to put initials for one or two of his
middle names.
