WOMAN’S PAGE Easy Desserts to BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Desserts are part of a dinner that|are the kind that are in demand just are especially enjoyed during the hot weather. They may give a refreshing aftermath merely, to a substantial JUST THE THING BARB FOOL TIES OF THIS SAME DESSERT.

Fruits with cream are the least trouble to have, and yet are among the most desired. I remember a young married couple who went to housekeeping after boarding who said one of the things they especially liked about their own home was that they could have fresh uncooked fruits in their seasons for desserts instead of made desserts. These people luxu- riated in the simplest sort of desserts. It must be admitted, however, that fresh fruits are not always the least expensive to serve, though they may be most welcome. Rhubarb Fool. that are very simple to nd are satistying and luscious be prepared from crushed or fresh fruits mixed with whipped cream. One of these dishes, and one that is popular in England, is some- times made not from fruit but from rhubarb. It is also made from goose- berries, and it can be made equally well from crushed fruits. Rhubarb fool is made by straining stewed rhu- barb through a fine sieve and then beating it up with whipped cream. Desserts make ma; Uses for Juices. The juice from the rhubarb can be saved fo add to homemade beverages, either punch or lemonade. No sugar need he put with the rhubarb while it is cooking. Then the liquor will give zest as well as a delicate flavor to the drinks. The strained rhubarb should be sufficiently sweetened when beaten with the whipped cream to make the dessert satisfactory. Or the rhubarb may be beaten into whipped cream that has a large amount of powdered sugar whipped into it Flavor and Zest. A little vanilla may be added to rhubarb fool. This extract is some- thing added to the fools made with fruits that have delicate flavors them- selves. A few drops of lemon may be squeezed into other varieties of this dessert to bring out the flavor or to add zest. For example, Just a Sugg tion of lemon improves raspberry apricot or peach fool Right Consistency. The fruits should be comparatively dry when combined with the cream or they will thin it too much and the rich quality of the dish be spoiled. However, if you have a small quan tity of fruit that is the right consist- ency to add to the cream you can fix the juice somewhat so it will be right to use also. Put a liftle dissolved gelatin into the juice and stir until it thickens. It should not have enough gelatin to make the juice solid, but merely of the same con- sistency as the crushed fruit.

Danny Meadow Mouse was sitting on a little island just a short distance from the shore of the Smiling Pool. That little island was simply a tus- sock of grass out in the water. It was just big enough for Jerry Musk- rat to sit on comfortably, and Jerry often had sat there. It was one of his favorite resting places. Danny had swum there from the shore to escape Mr. Blacksnake. Peeping out “I MUST KEEP AN EYE ON LONG- LEGS,” THOUGHT DANNY. through the grass he could see Mr. Blacksnake looking very much sur- prised. Mr. Blacksnake hadn't seen Dann im over to that tiny island and didn't know where Danny had gone. Danny chuckled. “Yes, sir,” said he to himself. “It's a good thing I can swim. It's a good thing, too, that I have a falrly water- proof coat. It isn’t as waterproof as the coats of Jerry Muskrat or Billy Mink or Little Joe Otter, but it does very well for a short swim. This is a very comfortable place here and I think I'll stay for a while. I'll stay anyway until I'm sure Mr. Black- snake has gone about his business. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Probably he will find a frog and that will satisfy his appetite. He'll for- get all about poor little me.” This is just what did happen. Meanwhile Danny was very comfort- able and continued to enjoy watch- ing what was going on around the Smiling Pool. In fact, he was so in- terested that he almost forgot to watch out for danger. But he didn't quite forgel. Those quick little ears of his heard just the faintest of splashes. It was so faint that you or I wouldn’t have heard it at all. In- stantly Danny turned to look along the shore. Longlegs the Heron was very slowly walking in the edge of the water toward him. “I must keep an eye on Longlegs,” thought Danny. “He might take 1t into his head to look for a frog over here where I'm gitting. I know he would be even better pleased to find me. Yes, sir, I will keep an eye on that fellow.” Longlegs took a few steps and then for a long time he stood motionless and patient. But no fish or foolish young frog came within reach and so Longlegs advanced a few more steps. Then he stood waliting as be- fore. So, little by little, Longlegs drew nearer and nearer to the island tussock of grass on which Danny Meadow Mouse was hiding. There were two or three other tussocks not far off. Longlegs looked into each to see if by chance a frog might be hid- ing there. Danny saw him do it. Danny knew that Longlegs would do the same thing when he got near enough to Danny's tussock. He knew that once more he had to swim if he would save his life. It wouldn't do to swim ashore, for then Longlegs would be sure to catch him. He looked has tily to see where he might find safety. At first it looked to him as it he would have to swim clear across the Smiling Pool. He could do it. That is, he knew he could do it if no enemy di covered him in the water. That was where the danger lay. Then, just a little way out, Danny saw an old plece of board floating Danny waited only long enough to make sure that Longlegs really in tended to examine that tussock of grass. Then he slipped into the water and started to swim for that plece of EVENING STXR, WASHINGTON, D. ©, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1925 BEDTIME STORIES HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. The “Mall.” One of the most famous “malls” in the country is that in Central Park, in New York City. But the term is commonly used all over the country for a public promenade and names usually the broadest and most beauti- ful walk in a park. “Mall,” is derived from the Latin “malleus,” meaning a mallet, and our use of the word in the modern sense goes back to the old English game of pall mall, which literally meant “ball and mael.” It was from the circum- stances that the open space where the game was played was called in London a “pall-mall alley,” then just a “pall mall” which, abbreviated, became “mall,” that the word came to be ap- plied to any open walk and later to the most popular promenade of a city or the broadest walk in a park. “Divulge.” On the offensiveness of gossip we are all agreed. But that the word “divulge,” which means merely ‘“to make known,” should have close re- lationship with “vulgar,” will come as a surprise to those who learn for the first time how it started! Yet both words hark back to the same derivation. % “Divulge’” comes to us from the Latin divulgare,” which consists of the prefix “di” plus “vulgus,” the name which the Latins gave to the populus or common people. Hence the word means literally to spread among the people, and so to make common or ‘“vulgar.” Frozen Banana Pudding. Prepare a plain ice cream mixture and for each quart of milk used add one and one-half cuptulsof ripe banana pulp which has been run through a potato masher. Add orange flavoring and free: board. Longlegs saw him at the same instant. He waded out as far as he could and lunged at Danny with that great bill of his. But Danny was just out of reach. Once more he had es- caped by swimming. opyright. 1 Ipproved, WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES E BILT.

I have been desirous for some time of increasing my welght. My phy- cials condition is normal and I am 24 vears and 6 months old. My present weight is 133 pounds, but my present height is 5 feet 8 inches. I have no organic diseases and have passed three insurance examinations, which leads me to believe that I am normal but under weight. I have traveled extensively for flve years. I think that a prescribed diet will fill me out. —E. C. You are from 12 to 15 pounds under welght, and my first suggestion is that the reason for this is your con- stant traveling. It is difficult for a person who takes considerable exer cise or is very active to malntain an absolute normal weight The fact that you have no organic trouble, however, probably means that with a little care you can accomplish this. Here breakfast is a suggested diet: For a generous serving of cereal, oatmeal or wheat or corn meal; one and one-half cups cooked mush with five-elghths cup of top milk and two scant tablespoons of sugar (the milk and sugar allow also for the breakfast cup of coffee), about five-eighths cup of hot dish, such as corned beef hash or creamed codfish or frizzled beef, and a good-sized slice of johnny cake or two bran muffins with two tablespoons of butter; coffee, one cup. For luncheon about one and one- half cups of a hot vegetable dish, such as a baked corn, with egg or vegetable hash or bean soup; three or four slices of rye or graham bread with two tablespoons of butter, a serving of fruit for dessert, such as sliced bananas with cream, and a good-sized plece of gingerbread or ginger cookies, one cup of coffee and three tablespoons of milk and one table spoon of sugar. g For dinner a generous serving of braised beef with vegetables, a large baked potato, three or four slices of white bread with two tablespoons of butter, a generous serving of creamed carrots or spinach or any vegetable preferred according to what has been served at luncheon; a serving of steamed fruit pudding with maple syrup sauce, one cup of coffee with three tablespoons of milk and one ef sugar. May I ask if you can help me, in regard to a diet for my husband, wha has high blood pressure and acute in- digestion? Also, is spinach good for him?—Mrs. B. K. The diet should be laxative and ons that is certain not to form poisons in the intestines. Potatoes and other starchy root vegetables may take the place of most of the cereal foods and bread. Fruits and green vegetables should be used freely. Choose the diet from the following list: Vege- table soups made without meat stock or milk, cucumbers, radishes, shredded cabbage, carrots, ripe olives, tomatoes and celery; graham, bran and gluten bread, fruit juices, malted milk, but- termilk, gelatin puddings, fruit ices, cottage cheese Avold tea, coffee and meat and seo that bran or agar or some other laxative is included in the dlet dally. You may find it necessary also 8 make use of mineral ofl, provided it does not disturb the digestion This diet is for high blood pressure, provided there is not indigestion. As to the acute indigestion from which you say your husband suffers, I can- not from this distance suggest a diet suitable for this. Forms of indiges- tion are almost as varied as individ- uals themselves and it is literally true that “what {s one mans meat is another man’s poison.” 1f, then, you will consult your phy- siclan as to what to give your hus- band during the acute attacks you may safely follow the above diet when these attacks are overcome. Never punish children by striking them on the head. There are other e
