ground and put it in the bottom of

couple of onions that have been
Drowned in fat and the fat itself.
We season, the meat with salt and
pepper and a dash of chilli sauce or
ketchup.
Then we cover the meat with q
layer of mashed potato-about 2
cups-and brush the top with 2 egg
yolks mixed with 3 tablespoons of
milk. Then we bake the pie in u
moderate oven until the top is
Drowned and the meat bubbling
with juices.
You may be familiar with oxtail
soup-but do you know how good

be? Truly treat. if properly pre-

worthy of the closest attention.
Here is a lovely dish made from

The joints are washed well, dried
and then rolled in flour.
A tablespoon of fat is put into a
heavy frying pan, brought to a
temperature just below smoking
point and then the joints are put
in to be Drowned to a golden color.
One cup of .stewed tomatoes is
added, together with one cup of
water. These are all heated
through together.
Now the mixture Is turned into a
casserole or baking dish and the
top sprinkled with layer of
chopped vegetables, such as carrot,
celery, onions and mushrooms, if
you have them. Seasoning is sup
piled by a bay leaf, a Glove, salt,
pepper and worcestershire sauce.
The casserole is covered and the
dish baked in a slow oven for about
two and half hours. The joints
and vegetables may be served right

cooked, with perhaps baked pota-
toes as q Hdedck.

SCHOOL LUNCHES?

(Fron, Mrs. F. H. G., Washington
My 6-year-old is now having to
carry lunch to school for the first
time. I would very much appreciate
suggestions from you readers as
to how to make these lunches both
attractive and nourishing, including
ideas for sandwiches. My recollec-
ton from school days is that such
lunches were terribly monotonous.
Perhaps other parents will be inter-

CHILD PROBLEM.
(From, Mrs. F. H., Bethesda.)
To Mrs. E. r. L. Washington. re
7-year-old daughter: Your child
is acting normal and you should
want her to do just that. It Is
impossible to get a child to do your
way" with punishment, pleading
Seeding, spankings and rewards.
All the affection you can give her
will not make her act as mother
wants her to. Please read stop

Bauer, and the many other good
books written to let us parents
know how to give our children a
square deal.
QUILTING GROUP.
From Mrs. G. S. c., Falls Church, }
Some time ago, lady wanted to
know If there was church group
that pieced quilts in the old-fash-
ioned manner. A am happy to
report that I know of such group.
There is group of about so ladies
in a small community in the West
Virginia mountain region who will
piece the quilt tops and also quilt
the finished quilts. They also will
crochet, weave or hook your rags
into beautiful rugs. Many of my
friends and I have had work done
by this group and were very pleased
This summer it was my great
pleasure to attend a meeting OF
this group. 1t began about nine ir
the morning. Every one came with
her part of the covered dish
lunch. If they had children, they
came along, too, and the older ones
looked after the younger ones. The
work was arranged on the porch
which extended along three sides OF
the large farm house. There was
a rug being hooked in a frame
with four hookers and another group
cutting the rags. There was a
group cutting quilt patches while
another group assembled them and
sewed them into blocks. There
was quilt being quilted with almost
a dozen quilters around the frame
There was another group around a
sewing machine. They were cutting

OBSERVATION.

(From Mrs. c. H., RiDerdale.)
This message is little early, but
time flies and perhaps it can be
passed onto others.
I wonder how many really take
time to think deeply what many Of
our holidays mean. Thanksgiving
will soon be here and II we would
all Just think little we would un-
derstand how much the little things
in life mean. We would look around
and see how much less many others
have and thank God for all our
blessings no matter how small and
in our hearts want to help the un-
fortunate:
1t is a shame the way many act
at Christmastime. Already the
stores are showing cards most OF
which do not express the true mean
ing of our wonderful Saviors birth.
Let us this year send out the good
tidingS on cards, to those who will
celebrate Christmas with drink and
unuseful and thoughtless gift buy
ing. know some of the snow scenes
and poinsettia cards are beautiful
we'll, send those to friends who cele-
brate the true spirit of Christmas.
We all know we are happiest and
more contented when We hear the
carols and the old story Of Jesus
birth, so let us spread the news to
others of peace on earth, through a
religious card or perhaps q little
note to all we know who will not
care what Christmas really means.
I hope this does not sound like
preaching, and I know there are
many others who feel the same as
I about the thoughtless ones who
live around us. Perhaps all they
need is a word or two from a friend
or even sign 10 bring them back
to the scored meaning of things.
