Novel Ways
To Serve
Carrots r.
By Edith M. barber

This certainly has been q car
rot season! Wikh other vegetables
scarce or high tn price or both, we
have necessarily turned to carrots
which, throughout most of the win
ter, have been cheap, if you can
use that term today with any food.
One Of my friends said to me the
other day that she had been trying
to cook them In various ways to try
and make thes family believe that
they were getting something differ
ent. But after ALL" she said. they
are carrots, just the same"
OF course, she Is right, but almost
everyone likes the fresh young car
rots which we now get through most
of the year, and which have a deli
cate favor. I've been trying them
in combination with other vege-
tables. Not with peas, I might
mention, as I have seen too many
of these at restaurants. They are
good with celery and with whole
kernel corn, land, of course, with
onions. I mentioned before, think,
that combination of carrots, apples
and onions, baked together in cas-
serole. A carrot ring Is attractive
in appearance and very good when
filled with creamed string beans,
spinach, or with creamed meat.
Many persons like raw carrots
better than cooked and use them
as relish or in salad very often.
Prepare raw carrots as short a time
as possible before serving, as they
do lose some Of those precious vita
Minis If they are allowed to stand
at room temperature, or soak in
water. If they must wait for serv-
ice, keep them in the refrigerator.
SAVORY CARROTS.
l bunch carrots
l onion. sliced
l cup diced celery
u teaspoon salt
y cup milk
y cup minced green pepper or
stuffed olives
Scrape carrots, cut in lengthwise
pieces, and cook covered in small
amount of water IS minutes. Add
onions, celery and salt. recover, and
continue cooking about 10 minutes
until carrots are tender. Uncover,
add milk. let simmer minutes and
serve sprinkled with green pepper
or olives.
CARROT RING.
Cook 2 pounds carrots. Drain,
add tablespoons minced onions
and put through meat grinder or
mash we'll. Add 2 tablespoons but
ter or margarine, salt and pepper
to taste. Place in creased 1-quart
ring mold. set mold in pan of hot
water until ready to serve. Turn
out on hot platter and fill center
with cooked dressed spinach, peas
or lima beans. Yield: Six servings.

and our sailors to have the very
newest and best and most deadly
weapons with which to fight. Nor
Is there one of us who would pluck
a single leaf from the laurel crown
OF our heroes. Theirs is the honor
and the glory Of great achievement.
But there is another army OF
which We never hear, though it is
no less valorous. 1t wears no uni
form except the universal garb of
shabbiness. No correspondents
cable its exploits to an applauding
public. No medals are pinned on its
breast "for deeds of bravery beyond
ordinary human conduct" and it
looks forward to no day of victory
when its war will end. 1t knows
1t will last as long as its life lasts.
For 1t is made up of the men and
women who fight the battle of life
with dull weapons. Nature put no
shining sword into their hands
when they were born. Fate whispered
to them no secret of success. They
have no talent or skill. They are just
ordinary men and women, not clever,
nor gifted in any way, but who
somehow have stood up and fought
adversely for 30, or 40, or maybe so
years. And 1t takes cold courage to
do that.
One of these died the other day.
She was poor little dressmaker,
with no magic in her fingers that

she had never made more than

had to put all thoughts of marriage
aside because she had an old mother
and father and younger brothers
and sisters to support. But some
how, by incredible labor and sacri-
flee, she managed to keep the wolf
away from the door by her needle.

that Miss Abbey would be able to

encouraged, they should not be left
to loneliness of spirit. While we
are doing pleasant things for the
young people in service, We should
remember those who are left be-
hind to wait in fear and in hope
for the return of their men.
These young women would enjoy
helping with activities connected
with the war service. They want
to feel that they are helping their
men. Many of them are In some
sort of war work now. They need
some special thought for their well
fare because they are absent in
spirit, out with their men at the
front Give them a thought and
hand up.
1t is all very well to say. They
should 60 out with the young peo-
pie and throw off their feeling of
loneliness" That kind of feeling
is not to be thrown off. It is the
voice of their souls crying out for
their loved ones, whose lives may
be in danger. They have no heart

Sewing and needlework has en-
joyed a brilliant renaissance In the
last decade. Now, the result Of
these years has been compiled into
a handy, well-illustrated volume
which makes modern sewing under
standable to anyone who can read
The New Encyclopedia of Modern
Sewing" just published by the Ma

ments, the making over Of used gar
ments, children's apparel and
clothes for the new baby.
AS though this was not enough,
there are further chapters on slip
covers, drapery making, complete
with charts for cutting and amounts
of material needed. Any woman
who has ever struggled through slip
covering will Immediately recognize
the value of this service.
Then there are directions for all
the little tricks and frills which
make the house and the wardrobe
individual and attractive. EN-
broidery stitches, application of
decorative edges and bandings, ap-
pliques, smart table linens and
numerous other ,needlecraft arts

'Fatted Calf
Is Problem
BY Josebhine Lowman

Many women are killing the
fatted calf in the privacy of their
homes even when there is no prod
igal son to return. The large, bulky
calf gives the leg the same shape
less appearance thick ankle does.
This is most prevalent figure prob
lem and is more difficult to over
come than lange hips or abdomen.
OF course, If you are generally
overweight a loss in poundage will
show in the calf. However, special
lied figure problems sometimes pre-
sent us with large waistline and
thin legs or q slim waist and bulg-
ing thighs.
Massage may be of some help in
the case of the large calf but how
much I cannot guarantee. Special
lied exercise is the best remedy.
Here Is one: Stand tall, arms
at sides, or If you prefer, one hand
against the wall for support. Raise
the toes of both feet upward of
of the floor as far as you can. Hold
for few seconds. Return to floor.

Another problem Of the leg Is the
fat on the inside of the knee. This
is a stubborn one. too. We cannot
stretch this fat with exercise and
so we have only massage methods
left. However. I have seen some
happy results when these were en-
ployed vigorously.
Here are two: ID Squeeze and roll
the fat between your fingers and
thumb. Do this until the inside
Of the knee Is red. ca Lie on the
floor, bend the knees and put the
feet on the floor. Slap the knees
together smartly. Keep separating
and slapping. With great persist
ence this win bring you results.

ary and it was all he could do to
support his own family. Miss Abbey
had to help out there, too
God Only knows how she did it.
1t must have taken financing that
would make the Ruml plan look like
a kindergarten lesson in arithmetic
for her to spread her little pittance
OF money over so many needs. But
she did it. Always cheerful. Never
a complaint or a whine. Never even
dreaming that she was being brave.
A soldier fighting her battle with
blunt weapons.
And there is Tom, our odd Job
man. He might have been a boss
carpenter, except that when he was
in his teens he fell in love with a
pretty little fool and married her.
And he has been a slave to her ever
since. When she found out that
marriage wasn't just having a steady
date and pretty clothes and going
places every night, she made Tom
pay for her error in judgment by
turning him into a domestic drudge
and bossing the life out of him.
He has never been able to make
more than bare living because his
wife kept him from getting any set
tied work by making him stay at
home of mornings to get breakfast,
change the baby, start the children
of to school, and by sending for
him, no matter what he was doing,
when she had one of her nervous
spells, as she called her tantrums.
Forty years of martydom, but Tom
carried on. He kept his home to-
gether. He reared his children de-
Gently. He pitied instead of hated
his lazy, good-for-nothing wife.
And he only hopes that he will die
before he gets SO old he will be a
burden to others He is a valiant
soldier who wants to die on the bat
tlefleld where he has fought SO
bravely with such blunt weapons.
No tribute that we can give Is
too great to pay to the brave men
who are manning our battleships
and flying our airplanes. They are
among the greatest heroes the world
has ever known, but let us not for
get those other heroes who know
the cross without the crown of glory
the men and women who fight the
battle of life with dull weapons.

The girl he left behind him" is
not having a happy time, to say
the least. Try as she may, her
thoughts go to the man at the front,
wondering if he is safe, If he is in
danger, if he needs help, if he is all
right. She spends sleepless hours
thinking. thinking. and arriving at
no restful conclusion. IF only he
we're safely back"
Outwardly the girl makes no sign.
How can she? Other people have
their doubles, why add to them by
telling hers? She keeps busy and
hides her anxiety. as we'll as she
can, In her absorption in work.
When the days work is over and
she goes home, the loneliness and
anxiety return full force. She is
the girl he left behind him"
Other young people are going out
70, the movies, to dances, to some
party or other to pass happy eve
ming. They ask her to 60 along
but she shakes her head. mo, not
tonight, thank you. I'm staying
in to do some work" The work is
writing her daily letter, to her the
most important work of the day.
Friends invite her to go out.
Other young men ASK her to go with
them to some entertainment. Her
family urges her to shake herself
loose from her feeling of loneliness
and go out with the young people.
She shakes her head and says mo.
! don't feel bit like going out"
Should she go? Not If she feels
nearer to her man by staying home,
Everybody has to decide such mat
tiers. for himself If the girl feK
like going out with the other young
people, enjoyed doing so. then she
would go. When she feels that go
ing out that way would be disloyal
to the man whose faith Is in her
loyalty, then she would stay at home,
and nobody ought to take her to
task about 1t.
There are many girls In this situ-
alton today. They feel that the
boys at the front are not having
much Of a party and they prefer to
stay quietly within their own circle
until the boys come home and they
take up life together again. They
