WOMAN’S PAGE Making Use of the Hors d’Oeuvres BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Hors d'oeuvres arve delicious appe- tizers too often omitted from Ameri- can menus. They are easy to pre- pare and they are not expensive to serve. As u matter of fact, they can be made a genuinely thrifty course for a dinner or a luncheon. To be sure, they imply a certain formality of meals, but this is because of their essociation with banquets, where they are invariably served, rather than because they are delicacies hard to_procure or costly to buy. These are two distinct kinds of hors d'oeuvres, plain and “varies,” as the French say. The first is but a single kind, while the second is made up of numerous little dishes. Hors d'oeuvres varies are the most elaborate, and make a dish to set before the king. But the thrifty housewife who is the queen of the home welcomes them as delightful additions to her company menus. She recognizes her opportu nity to make the most of things, for, however small the quantity of food she may have, it can go into hors d’oeuvres us temptingly as into salad. It is surprising that this method of using up left-overs has not been seized upon as heartitly as have salads, for hors d'oeuvres varies can be a sort of slorified preparation of left-overs. What They Are Just what, then, are hors d'oeuvres, and what are the ‘‘varies?” These questions naturally arise. So let us analyze them so that we may make use of them toadvantage. Both are ap- petizers. That is, they are piquant preparations of food that are intended to stimulate the appetite and give a better relish to the courses that fol low. They are. not exactly relishes, nor are they salads, though in the “varies” both of these dishes are apt 10 be included. They are Invariably served in small portions, for they arp not expected to satisfy the de- sire for food, but to pique the appetite to further enjovment. Plain Hors d’Oeurvres. Simple hors d'oeuvres may consist of tiny rounds of toast spread with highly seasoned minced chicken (or other meat) and sprinkled with finely minced parsley. The meat may be topped with a thin slice of fresh toma- to; with a section of a stuffed olive; with strips of pimento; with a round of hard-bolled egg and a tiny dot of mayonnaise, etc. Sardines sprinkled with lemon juice may be cut and put on the toast and garnished with cress er parsley. Anchovy and pate de fois make hors that are of the finest sort. From these de. scriptions it Is easy to see what sim- ple hors d'oeuvres are, and how easily they can be made. Hors d'Oeuvres “Varies.” Hors d'oeuvres varles are much more elaborate. They are served in small dishes, preferably the sort that fit together as one combination dish, such as the Chinese and Japanese are fond of using. However, it is easy to buy four or six small rectangular glass dishes, and put them together to make one large one on a tray. One container may hold small sar- dines; another olives; another egg slices with mayonnaise; another dress. ed tomato slices, etc. Radishes, meat cut into cubes having some sort of dressing on them, or a sauce such as BEDTIME STORIES Chatterer Teases Peter. People who delight in teasing Seldom are to others plessing. ~—Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit, having started out to find out as much as possible about how his friendg and nelghbors of the Green Forest were making ready for the coming of Winter, didn't hesitate to ask questions. Peter says that people too bashful to ask questions ‘will never learn much. 6o having sald bood-bye to Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, Peter hurried over to where he saw Chatterer the Red Squirrel hard at work. ‘“Chatterer!” cried Peter, “I know where Striped Chipmonk keeps his 'D_LOV CLARED UP. VE TO SEE THEM PETER, BRIGHTENI winter supplies and where Happy Jack keeps his, and now I want to know where you keep yours.” ‘This was such a surprising state- ment and such a surprising question combined that Chatterer actually dropped the fat hickory nut he had Just picked up. “My!"” he exclaimed, “what a lot you know! I would like myself to know where Striped Chip- munk keeps his supplies and where H? Jack keeps his. You tell me and T'll tell you where I keep mine.” All right,” cried Peter happily. “Striped Chipmunk keeps his in sev- eral little storehouses under ground, and Happy Jack keeps part of his in a storehouse in a hollow tree, and the rest in little hiding places on the at's nice,” said Chatterer. “I suppose you can take me right stralght to those storehouses and hid- ing places.” “No-o,” sald Peter slowly, can't do that.” “Why not?” demanded Chatterer. His eyes were twinkling. “Why, you see, I don't don't know Just where they are,” replied Peter. “Excuse said Chatterer. *“I understood ¥ in the begin- ning that vou knew where the store- houses of Striped Chipmunk and my cousin Happy Jack are. Now it an- pears that you don't know at all” Peter looked foolish. “I didn't mean just what I said, or perhaps I didn’t just what I mean.” he explained. “What T mean is, I know the kinds of places they store their supplie in. I know what they do with the nuts and the acorns and the seeds that they put away for the winter. Now I want to know what you do with vour supples.” [/ &met Rice ©ooks lisht.white “No, I faly/ horseradish, or tomato sayce, or meat prepared with shredded celery, cab- bage, etc., and then dressed; potato salad, piquant relishes, pickled beets, etc,; all these are used, and hundreds of other combinations, In the making HORS D'OEUVRES ARE DELI- CATE APPETIZERS THAT DE- SERVE TO BE SERVED MORE FREQUENTLY. of the several dishes that comprise hors d'oeuvres varies. Small strips of smoked fish especlally with a cold sauce are prime favorites. Could anything be more adaptable for the using up of small amounts of food? Only small quantities are used, 80 no one knows whether variety or economy is_responsible for the com- binations that are included in the dainty and tempting ‘‘varies.” BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “‘Save promptly. Y them,” replied Chatterer know you save them,” said Peter, “but how do you save them?" “By putting them away,” replied Chatterer, his eves twinkling more then ever and his flat, red tail jerking with every word. He was enjoying him- self. It was fun to tease Peter. “I know! I know! You put them away,” replied Peter. “But where do you put them? I mean what kind of places do you put them in' “‘Oh, all sorts of place: said Chat- terer. ‘You'd be surprised to see the places I store food in. “I'd love to see them," declared Peter brightening up. “So_would a lot of other people,” chuckled Chatterer. “I can think of several people who would like ever so much to see those storehouses. Now T've talked to you just about as long as I can. I've got too much to do to sit around gossiping. Just follow me and I'll lead you straight to the first storehouse.” “Oh, thank you,” cried Peter joy- fully. “That is wonderfully good of You. I've never seen one of your store- houses and I'd just love to see it.” ‘*All right,” cried Chatterer. “Come on!” He picked up the fat hickory nut, raced up a tree, out along a branch, jumped over to the branch of another tree, and in this way off he went through the treetops, leaving Peter staring after him with such a funny, foolish look on his face. And that is as near as Peter came to seeing Chatterer’s storehouse.

Americans in Eupeps very often run up against a feeling of dislike and ridicule on the pirt of foreigners to- ward the United States. And in ninety-nine cases out of & huyndred, when the Yank encounters this gpposi- tion, he rolls ups his aleev& and does battle for this country. _But Mrs. A, born and bred in New York, rather failed {n her duty the othe: evening, when a flerce old gentleman in a white beard broke out into vio. lent abuse of the United States of America. Mrs. A is a young woman who be. lieves in placating flerce old gentle- men with bank accounts, so she flutteringly remarked that she was afrajd she would have to agree with him—she thought America a pretty poor sort of place, herself. Where- upon the old fellow turned to her and remarked very deliberately: “Then you ought to be ashamed of yourself. People who do nat love thelr own country are not worthy to have a country.’ 5 And that same principle of loyalty should be carried into every phase of our existence, or we shall ind our- selves making enemies where we most desire to please. There are always girls in every set who will jeer light- Iy at their familles—if they think it will put them right with some parti- cular boy. Suppose Kdna's father has been rather brusque with the best boy friend, because the unfortunate young gentleman has had the bad taste to stay too late, one evening at Edna's home. The b. b. {. is rather sore and ruf- fled at his future father-in-law's treatment, and Edna, seeking to calm his troubled soul, makes a few nasty and biting comments about her dad. The chances are that, even if the boy realizes she’s doing her best to make him feel better, he'll have a vague feeling of distaste at hearing a girl run down a member of her own family. Secretly he'd respect her a good deal more 1f she stuck up for -this crusty parent of hers—boys are rath. er loyal themselves and they appreci- ate loyalty in others. The girl who is catty about her own sister, just to put herself in a better light with some boy they both know, probably gives him a severe pain, al- thoush he's too polite to tell her so, usually. The young social aspirant who, meeting a boy of entirely opposite religlous views from these she holds, mocks at her own religion or tries {5( hide it, incurs contempt and dis- e. ‘Wives who delight in detailing to their friends @ complete list of all their husbands’ faults—and what they have to suffer being married to such hopeless beings—are regarded by all right-thinking people as fairly poor sort of stuff. Yes, it puts you in a rather bad light, to talk agalnst those things which are yours—and which you should love and protect. Loyalty is the best policy. (Copyright, 1928.) What Tomorrow Means to You| BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are favorable until shortly after noon. They then become adverse, and pre. sage influences that will engender an acrimonious atmosphere, combined with a feeling of pessimism, doubt and, possibly, jealousy. The task com- menced today under such auspicious conditions can well be continued to- morrow, and provided that no attempt is made to force, “willy-nilly,” any|CM issue that may arise, failure can be eliminated and success assured. In the .afternoon, it will be pelitic, at least temporarily, to “rest on your laurels,” and seek some other oceu- pation or recreation of a light char- acter, In order to counteract the de- pressing impressions that will assall you. § Children” born tomorrow will, by thelr numerous ailments, cause much worry and anxiety during thejr early years. No serious consequences need be anticipated if they are given the right sort of alimentation and good, wholesome environment. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on nutri- tion, as this is the secret of rearing healthy children. In character, they will prove to be rather willful and stubborn. Forceful discipline will only render them more so. The only way to reach these children’s hearts will be through the affections. _Spirit- ual, and not physical, discipline will be needed. They will be ambitious, but rather more inclined to think that their desires will be gratified by a wave of a magiclan’s wand than by plodding and work. ’ If tomorrow is your birthday, you are well satisfied with yourself, al- though those who know you best may riot have as exalted an opinion of your virtues as you think they merit. None, however, can gainsay that you are re- liable and competent. You are not a genius, nor a paragon of all the known virtues. You are very extreme in your likes and dislikes, and frequently are led by prejudice—which you call intuition —to assume an attitude that does lit- tle credit to your intelligence, and even less to your heart. You are bright, witty, good-natured, and affable, and if you could only elim- inate the ‘“holier-than-thou” atmos. phere which sp often characterizes your actions and utterances, you would be extremely popular. ‘Well known, persons born on this date are: Lor®tus S.

There are two ways of .cquiring nicely shaped shoulders. One is to take proper exercises for their develop- ment; the other is to massage them, either to make them thinner or more plump. It sounds rather contradic- tory to say you can massage flesh off or “on, but nevertheless it is true. Massage is a kind of exercise, in some cases a substitute for it. If you have ugly shoulders and want to improve them try both methods. Exercise alone can cure round shoulders. Practice standing with the t high and the head up; this brings the spine into proper position. If you are not sure that you are doing it correctly, stand against a wall, with D.

S as much of your back touching it as possible, and with the shoulder blades pressed against it, that will help you a lot. ‘The exercises are simple. Stand correctly, put the hands in front, shoulder high, breathe slowly and deeply, extending the arms outward and back, keeping them always shoul- der high.
