The asparagus goes into another
bowl, along with the peas. The tuna
or salmon is faxed and put in a
third bowl-a fourth bowl holds de-
liciously seasoned French dressing
and another mayonnaise. You may
elect to provide hot toast-or crack
ers, dainty little butter balls and
steaming hot coffee. For dessert
you would cut the stale cake in neat
squares, top them with strawberries
and pour cream over the works.
Then you transport all this to the
scene OF action, where plates, forks,
spoons, napkins and so on have al
ready been arranged-and let every
body roll their own"
There are any number of combi-
nations that may be evolved for
this type of meal. 1t all depends
upon what your reserves and left
overs have to offer. If you had a
roast or a chicken yesterday for
dinner-cut what is left into small
pieces and use it in one of the
bowls instead of the canned SAL
mon or tuna. A tin of tomato aspic
that has been allowed to remain in
the icebox to set until wanted is
uSeful-cut the aspic into cubes, and
pile them into a bowl, too. No need
to remind you about using leftover
potatoes for salad-but instead of
the usual dice, try slicing them very
thin and dousing them literally
with celery salt, caraway seeds and
a few chopped chives.
Other good combinations are
these:
l. Tomato aspic cubes, shredded
lettuce, diced celery, diced chicken
and peas.
Q Carrot cubes, deviled eggs. diced
cooked or canned beets, shredded
lettuce, whole shrimps, asparagus
tips, cucumber slices.
8. Flaked salmon, tomato wedges,
cucumber slices, deviled eggs, sliced
potatoes, olives.
4 Tomato aspic cubes, sardines
in celery stalks, carrot cubes, spring
onions, radishes, shredded cabbage.
5. Ham mousse. diced celery, small
whole beets-doused in vinegar
peas, tomato slices, asparagus tips.
AS for the dessert problem-don't
forget, if there is no fruit in the
house, and there is no time to make
jelly, and the cats got the cream.
that pancakes or waffles with sirup
are always welcome-and rich
French toast, sprinkled with sugar
and cinnamon, dripping with maple
sirup, is as delicious to eat as it is
simple to make.
Happy holiday entertaining!

that anything we plant will take

do much good. Do you know of
anything we might do that would

OlentS ! n TO Betsy SasWeH-
"help-yourself-salad" affair, in indi-
vidual bowls, using the porch or ter
race-or even the living room as
a welcome change from the all
too-familiar dining room.
Here is how it is done: Study
the refrigerator shelves and the
emergency closet and plan your
luncheon or supper as you do so.
There are crisp lettuce leaves, some
carrots, leftover asparagus and a
tomato or two in the first. Tuna
fish or salmon, jar of picked wa
termelon rind and a tin of peas
are to be found in the second. Plenty
of crackers in the tin and bread
in the bread box. And oh. yes
there's some stale sponge cake Left
over, too-and a few strawberries.l
Well, you're all set. You round
up all the little bowls you can find,
and range them on a tray around
the salad bowl in the center. This
you fill with the lettuce leaves. You
cut the raw carrots into round,
slices, and alternate these with slices
Of tomato in one Of the small bowls.

One Of the chief grievances Of
wives is that their husbands do not
take any interest in their homes.
Why" walls the Little Woman,
you would think that Henry was
just boarder or a week end guest
and that all that his home meant to
him was just place to eat and
sleep and change his clothes. He
hasn't any pride in fixing it up and
1 have to dingdong at him to get
him TO put up a new shelf or plant
flower bed Even when I can't
make up my mind whether I want
to do the living room over in an
tiqueS or modernistic stuff and ask
him what he thinks he only saws:
DO just what you like, my dear,
as if it didn't matter to him, and 1
honestly believe he would stay stuck
IN the same old hole. year after
year, just because he says it is COM
Portable, if I didn't yank him out
and move to some new apartment
with a good address And Henry
is just like all the other husbands
I know-just not domestic. But
certainly it is trial to wives to
have to run their houses without
any help from their husbands"
All the other wives sigh sympa-
thetically and say they know Just
how it is themselves. Not one of the
dear creatures even suspects that
the reason her husband doesn't take
any part in making or running the
home is because she won't let him.
Every woman is a jealous Turk
who endures no rival near her
throne. About the first lesson that
the young husband learns is that
his wife is going to be the dictator
of the home and run the whole
show, and that the only rights and
privileges he is going to have in it
consists in supporting it.
1t is the wife who, in 80 cases
out of 100, picks out the house and
the location in which the family
lives. She superintends the decora-
tlons which are done according to
her taste and with no reference to
her husbands. She apportions the
rooms without any thought of the
husbands comfort.
Who has to give up his easy chair
in the living room and move back
to the dining room every time
callow youth comes to call on the
girls? Poor old dad.
Isn't it the wife's family and not
the husbands who are perpetually
camped in the guest chamber? Is
it the wife's friends or the hus-
bands who are invited for dinner
and who drop in for bridge in the
evening and find welcome" on the
mat? Is there a man among us
bold enough to invite friend to 60
home to dinner with him?

Dorothy Dix Says go
Give Husband Equal Right in Home
And Enjoyment of Its Comforts

Does the husband get the kind
of food he likes, or the sort his
wife was brought up on? Even a
baby knows that if mama likes
spinach it is spinach for papa, no
matter how much he loathes it.
1t is not because men are lacking
in the domestic instinct that keeps
them from taking an interest in
the home and makes them leave
every decision to their wives. The
reason is that they have never been
permitted to have any part in the
building up of the home.

a material treated in such
a way that it is water re-
pellent. This is not a coated fabric
such as oilcloth but will permit
the air to flow through. even though
it is not affected by the dampness.
Have you heard anything about it?
Would these fabrics be useful for

]. La
Answer:
| Yes, indeed. I have, and I
think you will find it most use
full! Materials such as duck, can
vas, chintz and sailcloth are treated
with waXy emulsion which covers
the fbers but does not coat the
fabric This is excellent for the
beach or any damp climate as the
coating does not change the ap-
pearance of the fabric, does not
easily absorb moisture and will re-
pei mildew, which is a great asset.
Porch upholstery covered with this
will not absorb moisture and get a
musty odor in short time as other
types of coverings may.

Daily Care
Of Tired

Soaking in Epson

All Swelling
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

No doctor can tell you why some
persons feet swell in certain CHI
mates, and others don't But if you
have ever suffered from cut insteps,
blistered heels and burning soles you
know the pain does show on your
face and that your posture is def
nitely ruined!
AS far as I can ascertain there
is no correcting of such a foot all
ment. One must endure it. And
you had better march right down.

Portable pair of shoes which may be
cut for ventilation, providing
enough remains to give your foot
sturdy support. Get them half
size larger than you usually wear,
and at least one width wider. The
new f1atties, or airplane soles which
are so popular are a gift from
heaven if you insist upon looking
smart and being comfortable at the
same time during hot weather.
Each night when you return home
from days gadding, soak your feet
in hot EPSON salted water, and after
drying, massage them we'll with a
foot lotion which contains men,
thol. If your instep or heel has
been cut or blistered you must treat
it expertly with a germicide and
pads. Otherwise infection might
set in and then you will have a
pretty problem on your hands.
Certain medicated tales keep the
foot cool far into the day if applied
before you put on your hose Persons
who suffer from burning feet can
not go without stockings. In fact,
men and women, who stand on
their feet many hours during the
day in hot weather, will find that
white woolen socks are a great COM
fort. I specify white because the
dye in other socks may be sweated
out and get into splitting of the
skin. That naturally is likely to
cause infection.
For instant relief, when pain is
pretty racking, take off your shoes,
walk a few steps in your stocking
feet and then sit down and place
your feet high on the back of chair
or desk. That refreshes them quickly
and reneWS your vitality.

Spike spread an open hand over Beppo's

Tourists were gone from the streets of
