The Star’s Household Expert Tells How to Use Fish, Vegetables and Fruits in Tasty Summer Dishes—How to Prepare Dressings. | Hot weather is the time for salads. Not for the heavy salads that tax the digestion, but for the light salads(Of cream, either sweet or sour. that when properly made tempt the | ;oY {\Il the rest of the ingredients, appetite and are easily digested, and, METHODS AND RECIPES FOR MAKING SEASONABLE SALADS FEATURE PAGE. . of white pepper and a little paprika. Stir the ingredients together until they are well mixed, and then mix thoroughly with your salad. Fish Dressing.—To make a good dressing for fish salad, take one fresh, ripe cucumber, put it in cold water for an hour, then pare and grate it. Drain off the liquor and add a tea-| spoon of fresh horseradish and enough salt and white pepper to sea- son. Thin this with cold, sour cream. It _is very white when done. Vegeable Salad Dressing. — Take two tablespoons of butter, one-half cup of hot vinegar, one teaspoon of dry mustard, one tablespoon of sugar, one teaspoon of salt, one- eighth teaspoon of pepper. one-half an onion cut fine, and one-half cup Dis- the cream, and solve the sugar in having the vinegar very hot.

Another time ap. ples or tomatoes can be allowed out and filled with celery or garnished with tender celery, a white mayonnaise being used as a dressing. Luscious cherries can be stoned and blanched endive. Grapefruit grapes are a _combination always liked and can be made attractive in many ways of serving. To mayonnaise used for fruit salads add an’ equal quantity of stifily whipped cream, leaving out mustard and cayenne pepper. To fruit in salads from squeeze a small quantity of lemon following day.

Any cold, cooked greens may be us with mayonnaise or French dres An attractive garnish for salads can be made by rolling tightly several large lettuce leaves and keeping them cold. When needed, cut the rolls into one-half-inch pieces. and a pretty pale green rosette will be made. Salad Dressings. Quickly Made Mayonnaise. — The usual method of making mayonnaise is too slow. By using a different method the same amount can be made in less than ten minutes. Beat the egg with an egg beater, add the sea- sonings and mix them well, then beat in a teaspoonful of vinegar or lemon | juice. Begin to add the oil gradually at_first by the tablespoon. Beat the mixture well until the thickening process begins. You can then pour in the oil quite recklessly, and need stop_only to add an occasional spoon of vinegar or lemon juice to thin the mixture and give it the desired flavor. To make cream mayonnaise with- out oil, take the yolks of six eggs, two teaspoons of salt, one teaspoon of mustard, one tablespoon of sugar, one cup of milk._and one-haif cup of vinegar. Place all except the vinegar in a double boiler. When heated, add the vinegar and stir until of the con sistency of thick cream. Keep in a cool place. mple French Dressing—An ex- cellent. though simple, French dress- ing may be made by following this formula: Take three tablespoons of one tablespoon of vinegar, half vegetables, such as ing. : prevent | turning dark, | SOroen juice-over them.

Last week I gave some directions for preserving peaches—but one could write almost endlessly on can- ning and preserving this delicious fruit! I therefore offer the following additional peach recipes together with some pear recipes: Peach Marmalade—Put whole peaches into a cheesecloth bag and lower them into boiling water for from one to two minutes, after which plunge the bag into cold water for a second; the skins may then be rubbed ff. Halve and stone the fruit, then weigh it. For every pound, set aside pound of sugar, to be added later. Put the weighed fruit pulp with a few finely chopped kernels (for Havor) into the agate preserving kettle, which has been moistened in- e with cold water to prevent the peach pulp from sticking to it. Heat slowly, mashing with a wooden or agate spoon. Stir constantly to avoid burning. When the pulp is soft and thick, it is time to add the sugar which you previously measured and set aside. Boil slowly until the juice is jelly-like when a little is put on a plate _or until two drops will form at once on a spoon when a little of the juice is held high in the air and dripped back into the kettle. Then pour into hot, sterilized glasses, let ccol, and cover with melted paraffin. Stuffed Pickled Peaches (good to have on hand for a guest meal)— ‘Wash medium-sized peaches and take out stones; cover them with rather strongly sal water and let them stand over night. In the morning fill the centers (where the stones were) vith grated horseradish which has leen mixed with & very little celery seed and very small pieces of ginger root. Tie each stuffed peach firmly vith white string. and pack into hot, Laure. A Kirkman ized jars. Pour over them vine- which has been boiled five' gar chopped vegetables and serve the warm. Various Saladw. Chicken Salad in Tomatoes.—Select smooth, good-sized tomatoes, peel them and let them get ice cold. Then cut off the tops, scoop out the in- sides and fill the tomatoes with Put a dash of mayon- leav Vegetable and Macaroni Salad— Slice rather thickly one-half pound of ripe tomatoes and one-half pound of cold boiled potatoes, quarter Lwo hard-boiled eggs, wash a lettuce and have ready about two ounces of boiled macaroni and a little mayon- na: dressing. Pile the macaroni mixed with a little of the dressing in he center of the salad bowl, arrange e tomato on top, the potatoes in a ring around and the lettuce as a Pour the dressing over all, sprinkle with parsley and decorpté h the egg. Clams and Macaroni in Tomato Shells.—Cut a slice from some toma- Add’ the pulp to a bowl which h Leen rubbed with a clove of garlic. Add one-half pint of macaroni boiled tender, and cut into fine pieces one dozen clams cooked and diced, two hard-boiled eggs, twelve olives chop- ped fine and two tablespoons of rich cheese grated. Add two tablespoons of oil, one teaspoon of vinegar, a dash of paprika and one teaspoon of E Mix and toss until thoroughly covered, then fill the tomato shells. Place a teaspoon of whipped cream on_ top, sprinkle with minced sweet red peppers and serve on a bed of lettuce leaves. This amount will fill six_tomatoes. Crab Salad—Pick over some crab meat very carefully, as there are so many small flake-like pieces of tendon in it. Marinate it with French dress- ing and let it stand aside for an hour | or two before serving, so as to absorb the dressing. Cut two cups of celery into dice and one dozen stuffed olives into slices. Mix the celery with the crab meat, turn onto a dish or into a salad bowl lined with lettuce and pour mayonnaise over all. Garnish with olives and capers, or a few chopped sweet pickles. Sweetbread Salad—W: some sweetbreads in warm water and put them in a stewpan with a little salt and red pepper and_ pour _boiling avater over to cover them. Let boil until_tender. Drop in ice water to bleach. When cold, trim, wipe dry and dice them. Mix with equal quan- tities of diced celery and boiled French peas. Moisten with salad g and serve on lettuce leaves garnished with olives. Stuffed Beet Salad.—Choose beets of uniform size. Cook in unsalted water until tender enough to plerce with a broom straw. Throw into cold water to slip the skins, then shape into cups. Sprinkle with salt, sugar, lemon juice or vinegar and set minutes with a bag of spices and with sugar to suit individual taste. Seal jar while hot. Chipped Ginger Pears—Wipe eight pounds of Bartlett pears, remove stems, quarter and core; then cut into thin, small chips. Add to these chips four pounds of granulated sugar and one-quarter pound of Canton ginger, finely cut up; let this mixture stand overnight and- in the morning add four lemons cut into small pieces (seeds rejected). Put into the pre- serving kettle and cook slowly for three hours, then turn into hot, ster- ilized jelly glasses, let cool, and cover with melted paraffin. * To Can Bartlett Pears.—Pare, halve and_core the fruit. Pack it closely in_hot, sterilized jars, adding tablespoon of lemon juice to each quart jar. Pour over the pears a medium-thick_sirup_made by boiling two quarts of water and three quarts | of granulated sugar together for ten minutes. Have this sirup_come to within_one-quarter inch of jar top, then adjust sterilized glass caps over rubbers which have been dipped swiftly into hot water, and partially seal: sterilize for twenty minutes under boiling water, then completely seal, invert to test for leaks, label, and store. Pickled Seckel Pears (this is the best way to put up the small, or Seckel pear).—Weigh the pears, then wash and wipe them. To can seven pounds of them, put one pint of cider vinegar into your preserving kettle with two and one-half pounds of brown sugar, one ounce stick cinna- mon, one ounce whole allspice and eight whole cloves; bring this sweet- ened vinegar to the boiling point, then add_enough pears to have them cov- ered by the liquid, and cook until soft. Remove the' fruit from the vinegar with a skimmer and put it into hot, sterilized jars, then proceed to cook the remaining pears in the vinegar in the same way. Turn_ the hot vinegar over the fruit in the jars, and seal at once. Mid-August Dangers. Sunburn is the least of the dangers the beauty seeker must avoid at this season. In fact, ordinary mild sun- burn is not a danger at all. Iam in- clined to think it is good for the com- plexion. Certainly the skin that is in danger is the one that gets too little sun, rather than the one which gets too much! Too heavy or too sudden sunburn is dangerous because it toughens the <kin, and is often painful and has even been known to make people very ill. Ordinary light sunburn can be Lleached off with cold creamssand peroxide an@ the varlous other skin lotions familiar to all of us. The great danger is to the diges. tion. The city girl is tempted by the drinks at the soda counters, where cream, soda, lemon acid, fruit ju'ce, rich nuts, and the soda-clerk alone knows what else, combine in one drink, with a great deal of fce, 10 upset the digestive organs, after first half-freezing them! And even those a safe distance from the soda fountain are too apt to drink ool or ice-cold lemonade, or limeade or various [ruit acid mixtures—including iced tea and iced coffee—delicious, but very hard on the stomach. Try to quench your midsummer thirst by plain, cool, never iced, water. This is good for you. If you are try- ing to get fat, take milk instead of water as a beverage. If you want an extra nice complexion, drink butter- milk. Kiddo—A good doctor should pre- scribe for your skin trouble. B. B.—The styles in dressing the hair are governed by the trend of fashions. You can keep yourself in- formed by observing this in all the fashion magazines, especially the il- lustrations in the advertising secticas. ‘There is no book published for this purpose. R. A. T—Hot crude oil massaged into your scalp the night before the usual shampoo will also help this con- dition. Blue Eyes—Use any good toilet water on your forehead every time you are annoyed with this excessive perspiration. M. L. T.. Beauty, Minerva—Dark cir- cles around the eyes come fmom lack of sleep or some internal derange- ment. Sometimes the cause is a slug- gish liver. Massage the scalp, which will increase the circulation and the hair will begin to grow. one | THE EVENING STAR.‘ WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1921.

With some plants, like columbine, poppies and foxgloves, it is well to let some seeds form, as they will self sow and produce young plants for the next season with no effort on your part.

That whistle was good to hear. Danny 'Meadow Mouse, scurrying along one of his private little paths through the grass, paused to listen. Sitting there listening all by himself, he grinned. He sounds happy,” muttered Dan- ny. “I hope he is happy. He never forgets to leave some crumbs for. me when he his lunch down here on the Green Meadows.

Lut now that he had passed they were there, he and Johnny knew who had left them. “My. my, my! Wouldn't this be a great old world if all the people in it were I'!ke Farmer Brown's Roy," thought Johnny Chuck. Then as the cornfield shut off his view of Farmer Brown's Boy he contentedly settled down to enjoy that feast of lettuce. Every one, or nearly every ome, within hearing of that merry whistle had very much such thoughts #s those of Danny Meadow Mouse and Johnny Chuck. ‘As for Farmer Brown's Boy, he whistled more merrily than ever as he drew near the Smiling Pool. He was going fishing. It was a long time since he had been fishing. He had been working hard, very hard, in the cornfleld, haying and in the gar- den. It had been long since he had had a day to himself in which to do just what he wanted to do. Now he had one and he was go'ng fishing. first at the Smiling Pool and then down at the Big River, for if there is one thing Farmer Brown’s Boy loves to do it is to go fishing. As he whistled he was dreaming. Of course those dreams were day dreams and they were very pleasant dreams., They were of the big fish he hoped to catch! All fishermen have these dreams. Suddenly into the midst of them broke the harsh voice of Sammy Jay. Over in the swamp some distance away Sammy was mak- |ing a terrible fuss'about something. At first Farmer Brown's Boy paid no heed. He kept right on toward the Smil'lng Pool. Sammy Jay saw this and redoubled his screams.

Never had he known a case with so many conflicting elements, so many threads which led apparently nowhere, such an inextricable tangle of tantalizing suggestions and false clues. Somewhere among them, he knew, lay the solution to the enigma, but it still eluded him. Would Cutter turn out to be as much of a puzzle as the rest of them had been? The number given him proved to be that of an old-fashioned square man- sion of brick and brownstone situated upon a_corner and running back to an unusual depth upon the side street, with a high wall borderigg the strip of yard which separated its extension from the house at the rear. McCarty strolled past and examined the extension with curious eyes. It resembled a conserva- tory, but the walls and dome were formed of thick, opaque, rubbed glass, behind which he fancied he could distin- guish a network of strong, protecting wires; surely, if there were plants in there they were of extraordinary value to require such guard, and must be of some species which needed no sunlight. The shades had been raised at all the windows of the house, but they were ‘masked by heavy lace curtains, behind which some darker material hung in close folds, and no sign eof life appeared about the establishment. McCarty mounted the broad steps which led to the massive front door and sounded with a vigorous hand the bronze knocker which faced him between the wide panels.” Its echo crashed upon his_ears like the clang of a jail gate and promptly the door swung open, re- vealing an elderly figure in conventional black, whose faded eyes blinked rapidly in the rays of the setting sun as though unaccustomed to its light. #Mr. Nicholas Cufter.

He accustomed to encounteririg effront- ‘ery, insolence and servility from the domestic staff in the homes of the rich, but the formal dignity of this ancient retainer was new to his_experience.

As a boy in the old country he had once been invited together with other village children to a memorable “trea {at the castle which dominated the coun- try and had strayed unbidden into the great hall; the one through which he | had just passed would have filled barely 1a corner of it and vet something in its |atmosphere recalled that glimpse of the splendor of long-past feudal dass as nothing else in America had ever done and a sensation of awed admiration stole over him. The little reception room into which he had been ushered seemed on the contrary to be almost bare, with its delicately carved chairs and tables, its grotesque lamps and the curiously lac- quered cabinet, upon the broad top of which a lone vase of washed-out-look- ing blue stood in solitary state. { Riordan’s comfortably | Molly, was the only woman whom Mc- Carty admitted to his friendship and her cluttered “parlor” was to him the epitome of cheerful good taste; give her a few dollars and she would have had that room looking like something that was meant to be lived in, vet it had an air about it, at that, aithough he could not have told wherein lay the dis- tinction. Had he known that each article it contained was well-nigh price- less, that some of them—like the washed-out-looking vase—had graced the palaces of emperors long dead, and that each had a history which would have rivaled an Arabian Nights of jhe antiquarians he would have been duly {impressed, but it would have made no difference in his personal opinion. The old man servant had closed the door upon him with a certain definite- ness of gesture which made him hesitate to reopen it and listen, but he had not long to wait. Almost immediately the former reappeared and this time he beamed upon the visitor. “Mr. McCarty has been expecting you, sir. Come this way. McCarty followed, dumb with aston- ishment, as the other led him across the hall and ceremoniously opened an- other door. How could the man Cutter have anticipated his coming? Was it sheer bravado or was Cutter informed by the papers of the investigation and the names of those in charge of it, and prepared to give him some facts which :voul,d help in the solution of the mys- ery? o As he passed over the threshold he was aware at first only of a rich, ruby glow falling on rows upon rows of ex- quisitely tooled books which lined the walls, tipping with gold the magnificent bronze groups that stood here and there in the vast recesses of the room and gleaming softly on warm-hued silken tapestries and mellow, deep-piled rugs into which his own heavy-soled boots sank with what seemed to him an al- most profane pressure. He started when the butler touched his arm and murmured deprecatingly: “Your hat, sir,” and relinquished it with the same feeling with which he would have handed over his favorite black- thorn at the entrance to some museum. Then all at once he was conscious of a tall, distinguished figure advancing to- ward him with erect, soldierly bearing and a rich, musical, hearty voice with ust a hint of amused tolerance running through it exclaimed: “I have been awaiting you, Mr. Mc- Carty! Take this chair and have a cigar; I think you'll find these to your taste.” As though in a daze McCarty felt the grip of a soft but vigorous hand, and found himself in the depths of a great chair” with the best’ cigar he had ever smoked between his teeth and keen, in- ;(i:rumhie' gray eyes smiling down at im. “You're Mr. Nicholas Cutter, sir?"” he asked when he could find his voice, and then at the other's nod he added: ¥You’ve been waiting for me? 1 don't get you—7" (Continaed in Tomorrow's Star.) married sister, < something.
