Eggs Bayonne' Are

Nothing so lifts up the morale of
the sturdy war worker as a dish of
solid food which has eve appeal as

preparation of which brings along
a feeling of satisfaction and calm
delight And that is why we are so
well impressed with Eggs Bavonne -

are fried neatly and then cut round
with cookie cutter On one side
Of the egg a small fried sausage is
laid, and on the other broiled split
kidney. And over this is poured a
tablespoonful of the warmed-over
brown gravy touched up with some
tomato paste or catsup. flashed
Drowned potatoes are optional, but
sliced tomatoes are almost must"
with this dish. Then dinner is
ready, except for a dessert, which
can be rather hearty after this
course. Boston cream pie and a

an encore.

Start EN- Young

Early training builds character,
they say. This Is undoubtedly true,
and therefore giving your daughter
an early start will certainly benefit
her all through life. Whether it be
studies, sports or household duties,
the rule applies all along the line.
Children are individualists, you
know, and have complete little per-
sonalities all their own. So it might
be we'll to keep this in mind and be
guided by their preferences when
you choose particular sport, hobby
or other accomplishment, such as
music or art, for them.
Aside from proper schooling, there
Is possibly nothing more important
for a girl to learn than the honey
art OF good cooking. In these days
of food shortages and other incon-
veniences due to wartime living
many of us possibly wish that our
mothers had been more consistent
with us on the subject of houseWork
generally and cooking in particular.
The wise mother of today is taking
no chances. She knows that her
little offspring should learn the
fundamentals of homemaking at an
early age. but 1t need not be chore,
for cooking can be fun.
COOKING-When you are under
taking the training of your little
girl, 1t might be we'll to start her
on very simple recipes. 1t will in
|terest her to watch you making a
batch of cookies or biscuits or brew
Ing the morning coffee. AS a matter
of fact, your daughter can be of
great help in the kitchen these days.
There are many things she can do
If you just take the time to show
her how. Let her help you pre-
pare breakfast, or get it all by her
self, for that matter. It's not diff
cult. Fruit, cereal, possibly eggs,
bread and. Of course, coffee. There
Is nothing like a delicious hearten-
ing cup of coffee before you start
the day. Be sure to impress upon
your daughter the importance of a
clean coffee maker and full-strength,
Well-made coffee. There should be
two level tablespoons of coffee for
every cup of water. If you start
her right, she can become an ex-
pert cook and get a great deal of
pleasure out of 1t at the same time
TENNIS-When 1t comes to sports,
there are many from which to
choose. The game OF tennis, for ex-

Charming China Available

With the holidays approaching, =
and food rationing more drastic
each day, it looks as though it will
not be what we eat, but the way
that it is served that will make a
festive occasion this year. And,
"mirabile dictu," there are many
unusual and attractive accessories
for the smart table to be found in
town.
II minute cash outlay is your
objective (and it should be- we can
tell you of several delightful collec-
tions we have found. One of these
starts out with china with a back
ground color of nice creamy yellow
shade. On this are scenic patterns
OF Mexican origin with gayly cos
TUNED figures against desert back
ground including cactus, adobe
houses, and all the proper stage
setting. We have seen so-called
Mexican designs before, but this is
really well done and nice in color.
There are plates in two sizes, cups
and saucers, and all the necessary
items for a full dinner service in
open-stock pattern. We suggest that
you get one or two of the covered
pottery casSeroles on the same
counter. These are of creamy pot
terry on the outside with lids and
lining of a beautiful light green.
There is a tall one that would be
perfect as bean pot or purveyor
of onion soup. The fiat one could
be used for any of the scallop or
casserole recipes. Close by are tum-
blers-for a nickel each, with SIM
pie patterns in green and yellow
which may not have been made to
go with the dishes but would be
perfect with them. This inexpensive,
colorful collection set out on yellow
Or green cloth would be delightful.
The covered casseroles in two sizes
could be used to serve soup or con-
tain one of your favorite "one-diSh"
dinners. No one would ever be able
to Judge the small cost of this if they
base value on attractiveneSs. |
Another delightful accessory with |
a party air about it Is a soup
tureen in the shape of a pouter |
pigeon. These are in several lovely |
colors and the fat, important-look-
ing bird seems to be bursting with |
good things. When the cover on
his back is lifted there would be
enough soup or oyster stew for four
people to be served generously. The
pigeon has two companions, a moth
erly looking hen and an important
looking rooster-all in their natural
colors. We think these would be
delightful at buffet supper in case

you want your friends to enjoy them
as we'll as your family. The children
will love them-and the youngsters
would be proud to serve hot soup
from these before or after the foot
ball games this fall.
We were surprised to find what
appeared to be French Quimper-
ware in one of the china shops in
town. For minute we thought
there couldn't be a war on, If one
could still find Quimperware-but
only for minute! Some of the
distinctive touches were not there
but the same quaint little figure, the
same comfortable shapes are avail
able in a blue white pottery which
comes from our own Southern
States. A feather edge of blue out
lines each piece, sturdy little figures
meet each other across the platters
and the coffee pot, and the same
flowers, and color which we all re-
member are very true to the original.
These are ideal for the Colonial
background or any household that
prides itself on its simple home
spun" living these days.
Another set of dishes which goes

with calico has q wide border of

well with calico has a wide border of
prim little red flowers on white
ground. This would be delightful
with heavy red glass salad plates,
and there are some other Scent
tumblers with bright red reindeer
leaping about the top which would
round out the whole thing.
Young brides will love very
pretty service which is decorated
around the edge with wild roses,
leaves and vines in their natural
color. This is hand modelled pot
terry with the shapes Of the flowers
and leaves forming an uneven edge
on the plates and huge circular plat
ters. Tiny little ash trays or butter
plates are made of the full-blown
rose in low relief and are works of
art. If you like the pretty effect
of pastels this will please you every
time your table Is set.
A dirner table that is conversa-
ton piece in itself is one of those
small details which makes for
morale and good living these days.
Go on a small search to find what
you can to make the dinner hour

ample, Is excellent exercise and fun
as well. Eight years of age Is not
too young to start your daughter
playing. If she begins younger than
this, she Is apt to lose interest
quickly. It's good idea If possible
to have her take few lessons from
a professional at the start. But she
should be encouraged to play with
other children as soon as she is able,
for she will learn much from this
competition.
SKATING-Here Is a sport that
can be started as soon as the child's
legs are strong enough to support
her. Give her skates as soon as you
want to, but be sure that her boots
fit properly. It's best to start with
roller skates, and after she gets the
feel of these, ice skates can be tried
out. After several seasons Of lust
playing on skates, lessons by an in
structor can be very helpful. This
is especially true If the child shows
the desire or has the ability to do
figure skating. Seven to nine wears
is considered the best age to begin
lessons.
SWIMMING-Every child should
be taught to swim, but children's re-
actions to water vary greatly; some
are afraid of it, while others ara
not. If your daughter displays no
fear you can start her swimming at
the age of 8. If, however, she is
scared, wait until she Is s or 7.
Never force her into the water.
When children are very small, their
natural fear can be overcome by
playing with them in the water and
persuading them to keep their ewes
open while under 1t. This gives
them greater confidence and helps
them to overcome any fear they
may have.
There are many other sports and
hobbies in which your daughter
might be interested. Bowling and
golf are both excellent, and so is
riding if you have the facilities. All
sports develop good health, the
competitive temperament and the
sense Of craftsmanship so necessary
to Well-balanced life.
