WOM . Menu for Family BY LYDIA LE B A menu for the fool's cap party is given with variations so that it may 4o used for refreshments for an aft- ®rnoon tea, for an evening's enter- tainmert or for a luncheon. Certain features can be adapted to use at & dinner party or to enliven a simple home meal. As far as possible every item of food takes the shape of a fool's cap. As this is merely a tri- ‘angle with the tip made by the two longer sides coming just cbove the center of the shortest side (that forms the base), this shape is readily fash doned from almost any solid food.

Va- riety is given the menu if some of the bread is -white, some graham, etc., ibut all of t'e filling should be the | same. v The bread should be approximately 2 or 2% inches thick, with a base 4% inches wide and sides measuring 6 inches. The size of the loaf from which the slices are cut will neces sarily have to be a determining fac- | tor in the exact size of these fool's caps, but smaller ones would not be large enough for a filling and big- ger ones would take rather large amounts of salad. Fashioning Salad Caps. With a sharp knife cut a slice of | the top of the shaped bread, leaving sides at least one-half inch wide bor- dering each part of the top. Scaop out the inside large enough to hold a portion of any kind of salad. chicken, crab meat, etc., that you choose to make. The inside of the bread cup should be brushed with melted but- ter before it is filled. Spreading it might break the sides. Trim the small top part until it is thin, but not so that the contents of the cup can be seen. Trimnring the Caps. Put one of these salad cups on let- tuce. Tiny pieces of cooked beet cut very thin and in_ diminutive fool's cap shape can outline the top edges/ of the surprise salad to give added | tion.

AR DOROTHY DIX: I am a college man, unmarried, pushing 51 years of age. I have heen a lawyer and a newspaper editor, at various times, but have never really achieved success. Perhaps I am lazy, perhaps too much of & philosepher, At any rate, here 1 am working as a clerk and eurning about $40 a week, The last few years T have felt lonely, and have fallen into the way of chumming with @ woman of about 40. O friendship has where she seems to think that we should get married T like her, but cannot say that 1 love her. Do you think at my age it would be possible for me to settle down? Forty dollars a week isn't much now. Would it be enough for two? PERPLEXED BACHELOR. Answer: [ think that matrimony would spell misery for you, Mr. Bachelor, and, ss & disgruntled and dissatisfied husband is about as soothing to live with as a fretful porcupine, that tite woman would be even more wretched than you. You would do her the greatest possible ill turn by marrying her. and so if you have any friendship or liking for her, prove it by refusing to permit her to commit suicide by marrying you. A widowar of 51 may marry again with perfect safety and every prospect of happiness, even though he is not wildly in love with the woman, but & bachelor of 51 marries st his peril unless he is stricken down. attack of the grand passion. The widower is house-broken. He is mccus- tomed to adapting himself to the ways of women, and what he mainly wants, anyway, is to have his own fireside again, and sit down once more to home cooking three times a day. The bachelor has no such domestic complex. He has made himself comfortable in the way he likes best, and jhe restrictions of domesticity will gall him. Futhermore, he has his own well established habits, which he will pot find it easy to change at the behest of a wite. Tt is hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and the man who has been cigarette ushes and matches over the place, is mighty apt to think that anatrimony 1sn’t worth the price when he has to punch the home time clock on the dot and make up an alibi for every hour he is away, and have “dou’t" said to him every time he drops anything on the floor. Furthermore, $40 a week is entirely too little for a middle-aged couple to dare matrimony on. and the prospect of fortune before them, can do it. They have love and high spirits and golden hopes, but it is not for the elderly who need the creature comforts that money buys, and who cannot look forward to fatter daye. On $40 a week a bachelor can have all the comforts. and many of the luxuries of life. He has many invitations to delightful homes, whose doors will be shut to him if he marries. Forced to live in & cheap and meager way, to crucify his tastes, and do without the little indulgences to which he is accustomed, he will rue the day he gave them up for marriage., And & will the woman who was foolish enough to marry him.

The “Dresser.” In the popular usage of today the word “dresser” designates a pisce of turniture which belongs in a bed- room—a chest of drawers, usually, with a mirror, the place where mi- lady makes her tollét.

For the original dressar was a sideboard on which meat was dressed before being served in the And the word is so used in England today. How the cor- ruption to its present use in this country came about is not known, unless it may be explained by the fact that the early colonis living sometimes in one room and beinx ce- pendent frequently on one articls of furniture for various purposez, built drawers in which to keep their clothes under the bench on which successfully overcome, Tempera- mentally it will be very vensitive snd have a keen appreciation of jus- | tice and desp resentment of any aet | of injustice.

An amazing, new, harmless Answer: Cut out about half of your work, unless you want to die and your babies to the tender mercies of a stepmother. No woman in the world has 2 right to kill herself by overworking. It is just as much suicide as if she blew off her head, where her brains cught to be. Make up yvour mind that it is better for you to live for vour children than it is to kill yourself for them, and that your husband will love you a lot more if you are pleasant and amiable than he will if you kecp yourself cross and nervous and irritable by being & model housewife. w much you can do within strength. Budget your vitality as carefully as you would your money. Give up the sewing that you take in. You buy the few dollars that that bringe in at too great a price. Let vour husband do the extra work to, make the additlonal money you need. There is nothing like the spur of a family's necessities to drive a man-on to success. Then slack up on your housework. Do away with all unnecessary cleaning and polishing and scrubbing. Put away all the ornaments, and every superfluous thing that has to be taken care of. Keep your house clean and sanitary, but don't make a god of the scrubbing pail and sac- bl yourself to it. Give your family plain, simple, nourishing, easily cooked meals instead of wearing vourself out in preparing fancy dishes. Then decide just the limits of your Don't think about what tiié neighbors will say. It isn't worth killing yourself to be pointed out as the potable housewife of your neighborhood About tiree-fourths of the work that women do is unnecessary, and when it comes to a choice between your health and your health and let the housekeeping go. Any man would rather sit down to a plain dinner in a reasonably order- Jy houss, with a cheerful, good-natured, jolly wife, than to a banquet in Spotless Town, with & wife who had worked herself into hysterics in cook- ing and cleaning up. . DOROTHY DI EAR MISS DIX: I am a young married woman with overmuch spdre which I can do this? PERPLEXED. Answer: T know of no way that you can do this. There is nothing that is more peeded than some way by which women can earn money im their homes. with sklll in their fingers and brains in their heads, who have several hours every day that they would like to spend in some gainful occupation, but who cannot leave their homes. Perhaps our wise educators will take this matter up and establish-classes in home industries. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 19253 Pistory of Bour Name. BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. MOODY. RACIAL ORIGIN—English or Welsh. SOURCE—Descriptive. 1t would be quite natural to sup- pose that the family name of Moody | has come down to us because some jone of the inhabitants of medieval England was described by those with whom he came in contact as “John the Moody” or “Richard Moody," and that his sons, probably inheriting his men- tal traits, were also Teferred to by neighbors in the same fashion to dls- tinguish them from other members of the community bearing the- same given names. This assumption is correct; but it needs more explangtion than this. How, for instance, did the word get its present meaning, and was this really the meaning in the period when the family name came {nto being? The literal meaning of our word “mood” is a state of mind. Therefors, strictly speaking, a “moody” person would be merely a thoughtful person, not necessarily a gloomy nor an ab- stracted one, detached from th world in his thoughts. But “meudwy in Welsh. meant a hermit, an anchor- ite, a religious person living a soli- tary life. Thus the idea of detach- ment crept into the word and later, | through derision (probably of the Puritam), that of gloom. The Welsh word of definite meaning influenced. naturally, the English word of general meaning. But at the time the family nam formed, the meaning of “moody robably was nothing more than “thoughtful” or “religious,” and it was used in the figurative more than in the literal sense, just as we say !o:iny that a man is “a regular her- mit.” w (Copyright, 1925.) you kno protected from insects, dirt and exposure.
