WOMAN'S PAGE: Dishes and Enjoyment of Meals BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Much attention has been given late- 1y. both by the rich and the less well to do, to the charm of the dishes upon which our daily mnieals are eaten. Burely it is a matter worthy of con- sideration, if only because of its three- fold insistency each day. ‘Who has not heard it said at some le’:_ “Coffee taste so good out of this cup,” or “Salad seems even more de- IT IS SURPRISING TO WHAT EX- TENT THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF A DISH ENHANCES WHAT 1S SERVED UPON IT. Hcious on these plates.” A thing that seems more delicious fs more de- licious, since the appeal to the taste is not arbitrary, but a matter of the individual. The housewife, who is, after all, in one of her roles, the perpetual hostess to her family, can only take pleasure in the arduous task of meal serving ‘when its several points are developed BEDTIME STORIE < Peter Is Wholly Heedless.

I mustn't lose track of her this time." He. waited long enough to look “through that bramble-tangle thorough- ly, to make sure that she wasn't sit- ting somewhere in it. He saw that there was a little path leading from the outer edge of the bramble-tangle from the point' where she had been sitting. He hurried around to this. He found the scent of Mrs. Peter at once. -There was no doubt about it. Eagerly Peter turned and hurried off in the direction she had gone. He was in such a hurry to catch up with her IT IS A QUESTION WHICH WAS THE MOST TRPRISE:! that he was wholly heedless. He for- got everything else. He forgot that there might be danger. He forgot that he had an enemy in the world. He forgot that always hungry folk are looking for something to eat. He just rushed down one of those cowpaths in the Old Pasture, lipperty-lipperty- lip, as fast as he could. The result was that he all but ran right into Old Man Coyote. 1t is a question which was the most surprised, Peter or Old Man Coyote. You see, Old Man Coyote had been trotting up that very little path and they had met right on a turn. For just a wee second each stood perfectly still. Then both moved at the same to an art. Tableware is one of the modes through which this can be ex- pressed as well as the way in which prepared. No one item of the table service can be slighted. Silver must be shining, glass polished and china spotiess and the linen im- maculate. It is surprising to what an extent the attractiveness of the dishes and thelr suitability in shape and color to the viands put upon them adds to the appeal of the food itself. I can well remember how this was im- pressed on me when, as a bride, I had an unexpected guest for lunch- eon. She had come from a distance and was merely passing through the city, when she found there was time to make a call. It was nearly lunch time, and I prevailed on her to have the meal with me. I had no choice but to give her what I had on hand, and you know that young housewives are not famous for heing prepared for the unexpected. Either I v:as a bit fortunate, or she was a simply perfect guest, for when she left I had the pleasant feeling that she had been well served. Choice of Dish. The matter that is especially suited to the subject in hand was the choice of a dish on which to serve the dell- cate (but quickly made) pudding that had a pronounced pink tone, smooth and velvety. I turned the quaint mold shape out on an old bit of china, one of my cherished heirlooms. It has— for I still have it—a soft French gray border, irregular in pattern, but of one hue. My friend was quick to note the delectable color combination, and to comment on it. No one can know how good that dessert tasted to me after her charming comment. 1 only hope it tasted as good to her, but it was she who had put the flavor of charm in it for me. And as she was an older woman and not only a competent home-maker but an artist her praise was a crowning delight. Colers Combined. I never forgot her tact in calling at- tention to the ensemble. Furthermore, it made me appreciate anew just what it meant in a simple meal to have dishes right, for this was not only exquisite in color combination with the pink pudding, but the round shape conformed to the shape of the mold. ‘Whenever I look at the dish I recall the occasion, and it has always helped me to realize the importance of hav- ing and using the right color in china. Every home-maker has dishes that can be brought into prominence to accent beauty and artistry in serving meals. Or it she feels that she does not have precisely what she wants she can so decorate the food that a plain dish appears to have heauty. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS come back there. I believe that is what I'll do.” So Peter turned back, but in going back you may be sure he was no longer heedless. He had learned his lesson. He had no idea of furnishing 0Old Man Coyote or anybody else with 8 dInner. ovrieht, 10270 Savory Dish. Chop three ounces of ham and two hard-boiled eggs fine.

How Peter man- aged to keep out of Old Man Coyote’s jaws he doesn’t know to this day. But he did manage to, and finally reached the safety of a bramble-tangle. There he panted for breath and made faces at Old Man Coyote, who was peering in through the brambles. Old Man Coyote merely grinned. He wasn't a bit angry. “It’s all right, Peter,” said he. “You beat me this time, but some time I'll beat you. I haven't any hard feelings. The fact is. I'm not so very hungry.

There is a cartoonist who fllustrates the theme: “You won't believe it. but——" This is a true story, and at the time was headlined on the front page. When a boy of 15 is found by the police after being locked up in a cellar by his mother for five months, the community is stirred, and asks whether either mother or boy are or can behave like human beings. The mother couldn’t, because she feeble-minded, and after the expos of her doings, was placed in an insane asgium. The boy couldn’t, because of the treatment he had received, and probably because of the low-grade stock from which he came. For his ther was a drunkard, cruel and de- praved and deserted his family. They lived or rather moved in wretched surroundings, for they moved 11 times in 5 years. With such minds and sur- roundings, var creatures behave like human beings? The boy John had an older half- sister Julia. The mother's way of managing them was to lock them up. starve them and threaten them with an awful fate if they escaped. It is said that there were five other chil- dren, all of whom died of starvation in infancy Julia, who is a child by a different father, despite abuse and neg- lect, seems to be normal, and took & place as a domestic, perhaps finding there her first home, her first contact with human beings. It John's story were told in detail, you wouldn't believe it. For the most of his life, starved, beaten, frightened, neglected, seeing little of other chil- dren, and now and then attending school. He was at one time held in the fourth grade because his mother told the teacher the boy w: eble-minded and v n't worth doing thing for, anyw Locked up whiie his mother scrubbed floors at a restaurant from which she would bring home a few scraps for the chil- dren, he relieved his dreary confine- ment by reading scraps of newspapers and a few religious hooks that were Every Night and Every Afternoon Reception and Demonstration Largest Coffee Booth at the FooD Washington Auditorium—Nov.

Now the marvel is that when John's mind came to be tested, it was found that he could take in what most 15 year-old boys could grasp. Of many common facts that much younger children knew, he was ignorant. In character he was shy, silent, cowed, never smiled, hardly played, awkward and out of place. In body he was overgrown, sallow, thin, bloodless. inert, a pitiable specimen of a human being. He had never seen a movie or a base ball game. Yet his starved mind and starved body still worked as_those of a human being. What became of John? He was put on a farm and behaves like a human machine. Gets up at 6, feeds and milks the cows, eats his meals, does the chores all day long. gets the mail reads a few jokes in the paper, never &oes anywhere, never asks a ques. tion, doesn’t care for anybody, never pets the animals, has no interests, nc plans, no ambitions, moves about slow- 1y in a dull. empty world. Would you call this behaving“%%se.a human being? ‘What is going to bect.=e_of John? It looks as though he were guing to join his mother. For that terrible miseducation which couldn’t kill what mind he had and didn’t prevent that mind from carrying the boy to the 15-year level, only made worse a condi tion that was in his fate. His mind stopped there, and grrest and decline set in. The years of abuse and neg- lect didn’t make him and didn't break him. A less defective and more rebellious mind would have broken away from it somehow. The pity of it is that such persons are allowed to bring into the world offspring so poor- 1v equipped to.behave like human be- ings. (Copyright. 1927.)
