Here and There: Two new

Service for All Occasions" by Ethel
Wright, and the Manual Of Smart
Housekeeping" by Gladys Beckett
Jones. They are both "naturals'
FOR the brand-new housekeeper. Miss
Wright's book should remove much
of the panic that attends the brides
first formal dinner or luncheon, as
every detail of setting and service
is explained step by step, with illus
trations and diagrams for extra aid
Every type Of meal and menu is
taken into consideration, and there
are helpful chapters on china pat
terms, glass, linen and silver to
familiarize the bride with the
history and use of her new posses
sions. The second book, by Miss
Jones, tucks a maximum of informa-
tion into a minimum Of space, and
includes such matters as household
routines, kitchen planning and
equipment. care Of floors, walls,
rugs, furniture and SO on. Launder-

insect pests-these are just a few
more of the everyday problems

A great gourmet once said that q
properly concocted stew was a fal
more epicurean dish that peacock
stuffed with larks tongues. We
agree entirely, being unsure Of just
how palatable peacock Is, anyhow
and being thoroughly ignorant OF
lark's tongues, in stuffing or other
wise. But even so, we are sure the
gourmet was right, because, at least
to the masculine taste, a delicious
savory stew is one of the most cookie
warming and tasty dishes in the
world
Two European countries have
made speciality of stews. The Hun
garians are famous for their gulyas
-goulash to you-and a chicken
stew in Romania is something once
eaten, always remembered. In these
days of meat shortages, when you
take what the butcher hands you
and you are tired of chicken served
in the usual ways, these two recipes
should prove a welcome innovation
in your house.
For the gulyas, allow about u
pound of beef per person. Shoulder
of beef is used in Hungary, but less
expensive cut will do nicely. Cut
the meat into neat cubes and dust
very lightly with a little -four, salt
and pepper.

SA5OAANN@ o<A0
From Mrs. W. G. M, Siluer Spring.
Many thanks for such . prompt
reply to my query about the Blue
Cross disqualification plan. I ap-
preciate very much receiving the
information folders and application
blank.
I suggest that Mrs. G. H. T.,
Alexandria. check with the baby S
doctor before she takes the baby
OF of the 2 am. feeding. If. how
ever, the child is making normal
gains and the doctor approves the
elimination Of that meal, I suggest
that the baby not be awakened at
that hour. If he is really hungry,
he will awaken Of his own accord; !;
If he isn't, he will probably sleep
right through.
My baby was eating well during
the day and at about four weeks
began awakening later and later for
that feeding. If he awakened before
4 am. Il arbitrarily picked that
hour I would give him just little
(perhaps an ounce) Of his formula
and he would go back to sleep i'm
mediately. If he awakened after 4.
I offered him a little warm water
which would tide him over until his
6 am. feeding. At six weeks he
started sleeping straight through
from 1876. Occasionally he awakens
now at S or $50, but is content to
wait until 6 for his regular feeding.
When we eliminated the 2 am.
feeding, I was still giving him the
same amount of food as before,
since I merely divided the amount
of the 2 am. feeding between his
other five bottles. Thus, he was
getting the same quantity with one
less feeding.
