Whatever else we do when plan- ning our daily and weekly meals, the Fates ihtend that we do not forget the importance of right choice and com bination of tood as to texture, flave and color! Up to a certain point it Is undoubt- edly true that attention to these items may be said to relate to the acces- sories of the diet. Social enjoyment of a_meal is decidedly enchanced if the hostess has taken pains to set what is known as an attractive table. This_principle, by the way. applies equally to the simple home meal and the more elaborate festivity planned for the purpose of entertaining friends. But there is an even deeper nificance attaching to the qu food texture, color and, flavor. tically every housewife who s her field knows that attractive service has a very real effect on the general satisfactoriness of a dieta Appe- tite apy is acknowledged to be something with which to reckon when one is thinking of the food value of sig- FLAGSTAFFS OF WASHINGTON Y GIRTON WALKER.

Beginning with texture, crispness is wonderfully appetizing, but when a » food such-as a toasted hiscuit smbined with one that is decided Iy soft and concentrated or liquid, the crispness is very important.- In the of the soit and concentrated foods the crispness of the toasted his- cuit helps to break up the particles of the soft food, cheese for example, and render it more nearly ready for n of the gastric and other dig tive juices. As for the liquid foods like soups, it is quite possible to swal- low them so fast as to distend the stomach muscles and thus interfere with the secretion of digestive On the other hund, if a bit biscuit or other crisp and runchy food is eaten with the soup, one can 1 cases of ‘ | | almost chew it, weak digestion gastric juice a practice of too!

Flavor comes next: Careful “extend ing” of the flavor of highly flavored foods has long heen known to house wives. \When meats are expensive or when some member the family must have his meat consumption lim- | ited, the appetizing flator of meat may be extended through a su tial dish of rice or macaroni « The principle here is tha these grain foods mild and neu tral flavor and the meat is utilized to | its full . | r is an element more frequently ed hecanse of its esthetic value i i Add a dash of pa-| baked potato and | appeal is not en see that there is a rea of juiey prika_to see if the hanced: petite he U. ¢ THAN A.

Very often I am asked as to the requirements necessary when a mother is to be confined in a hos- pital. Every hospital has its own rules. Some want little or nothing for the child during its stay there, and only the mother's own toilet articles, gowns, kimono and slippers. Others want.the baby's flannels and nothing else. When one has decided upon a hospital #t is wise to make a visit there, talk to some one in chaige, pick out the type of rpom one | desires’ and ask just what this hos. pital requires.

One mother says: 1 have noticed that to call the chil- dren from the playground simply by speaking their names is better than saying, “Come to dinner” or It's time to take your nap” or “I want you to g0 to the store.”” Sometimes the play- mates try to influence their actions by saying it isn’t dinner time or no one takes a nap any more, and similar remarks which can be avoided if my special discipline and the children’s home duties and habits are not made the subjects of public discussions.
