Polish Split Pea Soup

So many dishes that we class as
typically American can really be
traced back to a foreign origin.
Many dishes are well known in
various countries, under different
names and varied according to the
taste of the nation.
This is true with split pea soup,
SO popular in this country but
equally as popular abroad. How
ever, for fine flavor and good eat
ing Polish pea soup is worthy of
special note.

Seasonable Cookies

Summer and warm weather is
hardly an excuse for the cookie jar
to get empty. In fact, it's a good
excuse to keep it filed as nice
cookies go so well with those tall
cooling drinks that we like to serve
in the yard or on the porch. How
ever, cookies can be seasonable too
and for this time of the year, nice
light cool looking cookies are just
the thing.

Building A Lunch
Cheese Waffles With Grilled Tomatoes

The person who invented waffles
certainly had the right idea about
food and must have been in many
situations when one recipe would
be all that was needed to fill in at
any time of the day or night. Just
a little change in Accomplishments
and 10, a bresl1fast, a lunch or din
ner dish is on hand.
Take a lunch for example; who
can think of anything more pro-
voking? We usually don't want
something heavy and yet, an appe-
tite, even at the noon hour, must
be satisfied, or it will grumble and
growl all afternoon.
A waffle is usually just right.
It's q tasty morsel if correctly
prepared and positively beastly if
soggy!ll!! But we're looking on
the bright side and taking it for
granted that everyone likes nice
crisp waffles, golden brown and
fluffy.
A breakfast waffle is usually
cooked plain, served with syrup
and accompanied by crisp bacon
and fried eggs. A supper waffle is
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1937-07-15

similar to a luncheon waffle and
can be varied in many many ways,
using either fruit, meats or cheese.
Which is a grand idea for the
luncheon waffle we are talking
about. In fact. nice meal can be
easily built around a cheese waffle.
Wen go about it like this:
CHEESE wAFFLEs WITH
GRILLED TOMATOES
2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Y teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks, well beaten
l cup milk
a tablespoons melted butter
8 egg whites, stiffly beaten
/ cup grated cheese.
Sift flour once, measure, add
baking powder and SAT-, and sift
again. Combine egg yolks, milk,
and butter. Add to flour, beating
until smooth. Fold in egg whites
and cheese. Bake in a hot waffle
iron. Place slice of grilled toma-
to on each section. Makes Sec
ton waffles. Diced uncooked bacon
may be sprinkieG over the batter
before closing the iron if desired.

be done the same ways

the blood in several waters. Par

cups. Add one cup finely cut cooked
chicken. Add a pimento chopped
fine. Add three or four sliced ripe
olives, Make a rich cream sauce
and don't make it too heavy. Add
sweetbreads and chicken mixture.
Cook in double boiler. Be sure this
dish is highly seasoned.

A few fresh figs, previously
stepped in any fruit syrup from
canned fruit and garnished, if de-
sired, with whipped cream and
maraschino cherries, will be a good
dessert.

Heels Changed Little
During Many Years

One has only to compare the
heels of today with those worn
even so recently as a decade ago
to appreciate what strides have
been made in their development.
In a recent exhibit of footwear
dating back over a half century
or so many interesting shoe
styles were shown. But although
materials silhouetteS, and trim
mings hanged considerably
throughout the years, heels
remained practically standard

The little girl at the left, for
instance, has a green cardigan
over a yellow slipon, and they,
again, are over a kilt of Scotch
wool which may be of matching
or contrasting violence.
CNo reason why grownups
shouldn't try the same stunt,
eh? How about a gray cardigan
over a yellow sweater, over a
velveteen skirt of moss greenO
Anyway, such costumes are
fine stuff for busy mothers, as
a plaid kilt can take rough and

one sweater top can be cleaned

The small beauty boxes con-
stitute the most intriguing
beauty angle Of the new season,
as they are complete for home
use and ideal for travelling.
There is really a lot to be said
in favor of small packages, and
the first is they furnish the in
spiration some girls need to do
their beauty home work. ALI
the better grade boxes have the
complete instructions for a real
nome facial, and no one can re-
sist going through the whole
routine with such attractive lit
tie jars and bottles of this and
that.
All the college girls will want
them, as they really take the
place of the larger and more ex'
pensive fitted cases, and they
can be replaced, when neces-
sary, with fresh new boxes.
ELEVATE YOUR FEET
To give the whole operation a
professional air one firm advo-
Gates a new angle for the body.
It must be stretched out on the
bed or sofa and with the feet
raised so as to stimulate the
circulation and bring the blood
to the face and neck while the
manipulations arc in progress.
One can do this by placing two
pillows under the hips and
stretching the feet up over the
foot Of the bed or sofa. They
must be elevated higher than
the head, you know.
RELAX AND REPOSE
One is told to relax in this
position for about 10 minutes
while the cream lubricates the
skin. The dry summer skin
will respond to such a treat
ment, and the fresh blood sup
ply to the surface will help the
pores to throw off the scerf skin,
and with it the tan no longer
fashionable.
Some of the boxes have mask
creams that will be nice for you
to try, especially if the skin is
inclined to be oily. These ap-
pllcations help to give the face
exhilaration and protect the
translucent delicacy so desirable
to the young beauty.

Forgotten.
By Gladys BeUdns

What tc do about it when the
baby sucks his thumb. or the
very small girl pops any one or
all her fingers into her mouth?
Well, for one thing, don't get
alarmed about it, certain that
it forebodes all sorts of dire
things for your child. Anxiety
and the tension it creates have
never yet helped a mother to
deal wisely with her child in
habit training.
For another thing. keep in
mind that everything a child
does he is not going to do for.
ever. He is constantly behav-
ing in one way and then dis
carding that behavior, con-
stantly going into phases and
coming out Of them.
WILL OUTGROW 1T
So in the natural course of
events children outgrow thumb
sucking. It's really baby habit
and when a child finds he needs
both his hands to do what he
wants to do he's pretty sure to
take his fingers out of his mouth
so he can do it.
But suppose the habit Of
thumb sucking in the baby per-
sists? Then I think one should
first look to the correcting of
the diet, either as to quantity or
the nutritional needs. With
the older child a general health
examination should be made as
well.
With the baby who is old
enough to play, toys and play
things that suit his needs or
attract his attention should be
provided. Letting him play
alone, in a pen for instance,
until he is bored would be cal
culated to encourage rather
than stop the habit. Oppor-
tunity should also be provided
for lots of vigorous activity and
interesting occupation for the
older child who has the habit
chronically.
USE OF CUFFS
On the subject Of devices like
cardboard cuffs. mitts, and so
forth, there is this to say:
there may be some children
with whom they are effectual
and not annoying.
But I am inclined to the be-
lief that generally they create a
sense Of Illustration and confine-
ment that is anything but good
for a child; and that while the
thumb sucking habit may be
checked, the nervous impulse
Cor whatever it Isl may find its
outlet in some other physical
habit.

Does an early mistake. OF one

riage and the chance to live a
happy. normal life?
Emphatically n Tot, decided
Mrs. Creighton Burnham, su'
perintendent of the State Train
ing School for Girls at Tecum-
sch, Okla. So she instituted a
"date night" to which honor
girls" we're allowed to invite
boy friends. Immediate result:
An engagement.
And a joyful precedent was
set by the marriage at the
school, a few weeks afterward,
of 17.year-old Evelyn Steel, an
"honor inmate" to Hercule
Cook. a drugstore clerk, aged
81. 1t was a real wedding, too,
with bridesmaid and best man
end wedding cake and all the
pretty, traditional frills that a
girl rightly feels are due her on
the red-letter day of her life.
NEW LIFE BEGINS
When it was all over, the
young bride was paroled to her
husband and the new life was
begun in earnest.
A few faint peeps of discon-
tent and envy may have been
heard on this really remarkable
occasion, the first reformatory
wedding on record in this coun-
try. But for the most part, the
girls were no doubt cheerfully
wondering how soon their own
turns would come.
They all knew that Evelyn
and Hercule had been sweet
hearts earlier. Many of the
others could recall interrupted
romanceS of their own. Who
knew what might happen, now
that they were to be permitted
to see boys of their own age?
Those of them, at least, whom
because of good behavior and
trustWorthiness, belonged to the
"honor" group.
The sensible woman who has
charge of these unfortunate
girls could have thought Of no
more promising plan than her
"date nights" particularly as
she has shown herself ready to
act the part of a mother and
see a romance through to its
satisfactory climax. a wedding.
UNDERSTANDS READILY
She understands more clearly
than the rest of us that these
girls, who are segregated f. the
time being, are ::lst like other
girls, whatever their misfortunes
have been. They long for a good
time" dancing, boy friends,
dates. And they all dream of be-
ing heroines of romance.
So, at the same time that the
girls are being taught to be use
ful women, why not put hope
and courage into their hearts
by letting them see boys now
and then, and making this an
incentive to good conduct?
