DUMPLINGS TO
ACCOMPANY STEWS

Since so many women are now
making a practice of cooking good
big stews at least once week (and
making enough for two meals) it
would be well, wise and wonder
full to occasionally serve dumplings
instead of potatoes or with pota-
toes if you like both.
DUMPLINGS "a
2 cups sifted -four
/ teaspoon salt
teaspoons baking powder
u teaspoon pepper
egg, well beaten
3 tablespoons melted butter or
other shortening
Milk (about u cup)
Sift dry ingredients together.
Add egg, melted shortening and
enough milk to make a moist, stiff
batter. Drop by teaspoons into
boiling liquid. Cover very closely
and cook for 10 minutes. Makes 2
dozen dumplings.
DUMPLINGS ~
2 cups -four
A teaspoons baking powder
/ teaspoon salt
u teaspoon fat
Y cup milk
Sift together the dry ingredients
and rub in the fat. Add enough
milk to moisten the flour, but do
not make the mixture too wet. Roll
out the dough on a board, making
it about one inch thick. and cut
with a biscuit cutter. Put the
pieces on a plate in steamer and
steam twenty to thirty minutes.
1t is better not to steam the dump
lings over the stew as the rapid
boiling required reduces the gravy
too much. These dumplings may
be cooked on top of the stew, as in
the recipe above, but they will be
lighter IF steamed.

FRESH FRUIT
COCKTAILS

No matter how often we serve
a fresh fruit cocktail, by varying
the ingredients, one never tires
of them. They make such a re-
freshing start to any meal.
WATERMELON COCKTAIL
2 cups watermelon balls
Fresh mint
Powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon-juice
With a vegetable cutter pre-
pare small balls of, bright pink
watermelon. Sprinkle lightly with
sugar and add lemon juice (the
sugar and lemon-juice may be
omitted if desired). Chill thor
oughly. Fill cold glasses. Gar
nish with sprigs of fresh mint. A
nice change is to moisten the
edge of each cocktail glass and
invert in chopped mint before
filing. This will leave a line of
green adhering to the edge of
the glass. The glass may also
be lined with sprigs of mint be-
fore the watermelon is put in.
CHERRY COCKTAIL
pound cherries
" cup chopped almonds
3 teaspoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons strawberry juice
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
Pit the cherries, sprinkle with
chopped almonds and pour over
them a sirup made by mixing
strawberry juice. with powdered
sugar and lemon juice. Chill and
serve ice cold in chilled cocktail
glasses. Decorate the plate with
two or three whole cherries and a
leaf or two.

Select lunch box that can be
kept clean. Lunch boxes should
be washed, scalded and aired daily.
Those made of lightweight metal
are best. Most boxes are now made
with a vacuum bottle which fits
the box. These are highly desir-
able. A lunch box should not be
air-tight ,as a circulation of air
prevents the mingling or odors. All
foods should be protected from dirt
by wrapping.

Chicken coated with egg and
crumbs is best fried in deep fat.
Cook in hot fat (370 F. at least
8 inches deep for 10 to 80 minutes,
depending on size of pieces. Unless
the chicken is very young and the
pieces small, results are most
satisfactory if the chicken (cut in
serving pieces) is steamed or stew
ed until nearly tender. The deep
fat frying then serves to give
crisp brown covering and to reheat
the chicken.

Westchester County, N. Y,
Finances Its Defense Bills

Towns in Westchester county,
wealthy residential suburban district
near New York city, will finance
their local war defense bills with
county money for the rest Of the

Westchester War council, the county
board Of supervisors voted $500, 900
appropriation to be allocated ac-
cording to tax contributions to the
county's 10 towns and six cities for
wartime protection Of life and prop
erty. Under the state emergency
act of 1871, no town is permitted to
appropriate more than $1,000 for
civilian protection costs, though
cities and villages are not limited.
The towns and cities must repay

priation does not cover all needed
expenditures, more money will be
appropriated before the year is out.

Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
We were really pleased to re-
ceive the many lovely Valentines
that some of our readers sent US.
They were sincerely appreciated
and thanks again to those fine boys
and soldier lads who sent them. .
Have you heard that a certain St.
Paul coed (whose brother is in the
armed forces) has gone through
her army brothers civilian
clothes" and has had four of his
fine drape and "zoot" suits cut and
re-made into spring suits for her
self. (And when her brother found
out did he ever blow his top down
in one Of the Southern army
camps.) -.

NJ. A. j.: ! have a boy friend in
the army. He was home on fur
Tough a few weeks ago. We were
supposed to get married, but due
to my condition, he thought it was
best to wait until l am we'll. Now
do you think this was the only rea-
son he had for putting it off?
Ans: / am convinced that he
used good judgment when he post
pOned the wedding. Had you mar
ried him while he was on furlOugh,
you would probably have insisted on
living with him, which would endan-
gered his health as well as yours to
some extent. It is better that you
remain in a sanitarium until you
are pronounced well than to run
the risk of relapse.
A. G.: have been married one
month and my husband likes to run
around. Does he like the girl I
think he does Should 1 leave him q?
Ans: Give your marriage a fair
trial before deciding anything def
mite. He was a play-bOy before he
married and he still wants to play.
The many girls he knew then don't
make it very easy for him to stop.
The fact that he chose you in pref
erence to these other girls should
prove something to you. You are
making a mistake to sit at home
and pOut about his running around.
What you need to do is to dixie out
and insist that he carry you along
with him. No, he doesn't particu-
larly like the girl you have in mind.
She is just an amusing companion
to have fun with and you can be
just as amusing.

ent, but I feel that I could get fur

study. 1 have decided upon account
