Give Dad a Meal
To Delight Him
Next Sunday
Fathers Day Dinner
To Include All His
FavOrife Dishes
By Edith NJ. Barber

Next Sunday dad gets his inning.
His bouquets may not be in flower
form as mothers were, but they will
be ready for him. Instead of a
galaxy of ties. fountain pens and
pencils, the family might club to-
gether and present him with one of
those tricky charcoal and briquet
grills, especially designed for out
door cooking. To accompany the
grill there might be a canvas apron
and pair of asbestos gloves and
even a cap for the amateur chef.
In any case, dads taste will be
considered to the nth degree when
the Sunday meals are planned and
on this one day he shall have what
he likes whether the menu balances
or not. He may have French fried
potatoes with his steak and apple pie
for dessert if that is his choice.
Just for fun I asked a few men
to outline their favorite meals, es-
pecially for this occasion and here
they are without any censoring.
The first chose what he called a
simple meal of broiled steak, 2
inches thick. French fried potatoes,
French fried onions and apple pie a
la mode. The second selected
shrimp cocktail, fried chicken,
mashed potatoes, creamed peas
which must be canned, mixed green
salad and eggnog ice cream.
The third man picked baked ham,
sweet potatoes with marshmallows,
asparagus with Hollandaise and
strawberry shortcake. The fourth
choice included shrimp cocktail
again. roast beef. Drowned potatoes,
lots of gravy, scalloped eggplant and
cherry pie. The fifth and last gave
me an epicure's menu with vichy-
soise, sauteed soft-shelled crabs with
almond sauce, potatoes au gratin,
cucumber salad and cherries fam
bee. Every one wanted coffee and
large cups of it excepting the gour-
met, who chose small coffee with
brandy.
Perhaps some of you will let me
know the menu which the man in
your household selected for Fathers
Day.
FRENCH FRIED ONIONS.
3 large mild onions.
p cup milk.
Flour, salt, pepper.
Wash and peel onions and cut in
thin slices. Separate slices into
rings. Dip in milk and then in sea-
soned flour. Fry in deep hot fat,
$50 degrees F., two to four minutes
until golden brown. Drain on soft
paper. Yield, six servings

l medium sized eggplant.

tablespoons chopped onion.
3 cups soft bread crumbs.
l teaspoon salt.

y teaspoon poultry seasoning.
2 tablespoons lemon juice.
tablespoons minced parsley.
Pare eggplant and cut in 1a-inch
pieces. Put in double boiler, cover
and cook over hot water about 30
minutes, until eggplant is tender.
Melt butter in frying pan. Add onion
and cook three minutes. Mix bread
crumbs with remaining ingredients.
Add onions and butter and mix well.
Stir in eggplant gently. Pour mix
ture in creased IL quart baking

Student Nurse
Is Invaluable
In War Work
Can Release Much
Needed Graduate
From Routine
By Emily Post

Under ordinary circumstances I
cannot use the space of this column
for any purpose other than the an
swering of personal questions of my
readers. But this once I really must
comply with a special request from
the Nursing Council Of National
Defense asking that personally
emphasize the urgent need for quail
ified young women in the schools
Of nursing during the emergency.
If our civilian hospitals and health
centers are to be maintained it is
necessary that the vacancies made
by the urgent calls for expert nurses
at the war fronts be filled with the
least possible delay by student
nurses.
The point I would make is this:
For the duration every student be-
ginning as nurses aide takes an
immediate part in the war effort as
she acquires sufficient skill to make
it possible for graduate nurse to be
released.
Dear Mrs. Post: If we christen
our baby L. Frederick Adams in
stead of Lynn F. Adams (Which Is
the way my husband writes this
same name) will it be necessary to
add junior to his name? We want
to give him the same name as his
father, but we would like to avoid
using junior.
AnSWer-If the two names are
always to be written this way as
you suggest see no reason why the
Junior need be added. The only
reason why junior is necessary is to
distinguish between two persons
with identical names. In other
words, I'm sure this would be quite
possible socially. but can't answer
legally. For that I think you should
ask a lawyer or some one whose
business knowledge is expert.
Dear Mrs. Post: What is the most
proper way to take boiled egg out
of its shell? Is it with the knife or
the spoon?
Answer-If you find it easy to do
it all with the spoon this is entirely
correct. Many people find the spoon
inclined to make Sliced" shot!
On the other hand, some people
using the knife hit it so hard that
the whole upper half flies off! The
answer is, of course, choose which,
ever way is most easy and safe for
you!

of course, green with envy, just on
general principles.
Among other things going on
around town this week is the ar
rival of the 1912 Maid of Cotton
an annual event which has more
Importance than ever this year
when cottonS play such an i'm
portant part in our summer ward
robes. This years bearer of the
title is Miss Camille Mclean Ander-
son. of Memphis, Tenn, sub, and
she's here on part of her tour OF
the country, wearing and modelling
washable cotton fashions.
Her modelling will be done today,
incidentally, in two fashion shows.
Playing leading lady in the per-
formances, Miss Anderson will be
assisted by some Of Washington'S
own lovely models and the whole
group will take a theoretical and
very well-dresSed trip down the
Mississippi. 1t is not, by the way,
as impractical as sounds, for there
really are Mississippi cruises this
year for cautious creatures who find
the Atlantic little risky.
But to get back to our cotton
fashions, this year they include
everything from play togs to eve
ming dresses destined to be worn
at the Captains dinner Also
available are spectator frocks, dreSSy
afternoon styles and tailored types
perfect for travelling. Brides also
are Joining the ranks of cotton
wearers this year, and there's no
doubt that the perky cotton house.
coats will be just as important a
part of the brides selection as Is
her wedding dress of cotton.
It's nice that such a charming
Southern belle is in town to call our
attention to cottonS, but 1t seems
that Washington women hardly
need a reminder of this fabrics
adaptability and smartness. After
all, cotton is wonderfully cool, de-
lightfully wearable and certainly
patriotic. And need we say that the
10Y of having clothes that can be
"dunked' in a tub is really un-
surpassed?
