RECIPES. Fool's Cap Chartreuse of Chicken— thyme mixed, one-half teaspoon burnt onion juice or one teaspoon finely chopped raw onion, one-fourth tea- spoon sald, a dash of black or white pepper and also of cayenne, one egg, beaten, and two tablespoons to- mato juice. Grease well a very large funnel with melted butter. Line the funnel with coked rice, having it ne inch thick. Into this mold put the prepared mix- ture, cover with an inch layer of rice. Over the open end tie a thickness of cookery parchment paper or two thick- nesses f heavy paraffin paper. Stand the mold upright on a pie plate. Put a into a deep kettle and on it rest an overturned pudding dish. Set the ple plate with the filled mold on it. Put bolling water into the kettle, but not enough to get inside the mold. Cover the kettle tightly and steam for 40 minutes, Add more water from time to time as needed. Remove the mold and place on a chop dish or platter. Cut the string confining the paper and trim the paper close to the mold for half the distance around it. Press the mold firmly to the dish and gently draw out the paper. Lift off the funnel and the mold will resemble a fool's cap. Surround with tomato sauce and garnish the dish with a ecircle of green peas. With & potato scoop cut small balls from raw potatoes and also from beets that have been parboiled. Cook them together until tender. The potatoes will be red, as well as the beets. Drain thorughly and serve ice cold on let- tuce leaves with a spoonful of cream mayonnaise in the center. The appear- ance of the salad will be not unlike cherry salad, and it adds to the “fool” character of the dish if some red canned cherries are mixed with the vegetable “cherries.” Thread a ribbon bodkin with finely shredded cabbage cut in strips 4 inches long. Run the bodkin through a mara- “schino or candied cherry so that the cabbage forms a tassel. Tlwust the untasseled end of the cherry onto the point of an ice cream cone. Fill with any preferred ice cream and overturn onto an individual serving dish. A good semblance of a fool's cap will re- sult. With this serve cake of any kind. For a refreshment menu the salad and crackers with hot chocolate may be served, followed by the fool's cap ices and cake. A very simple menu can be had with the fool's cap ices, eake and orangeade. Bonbons are served with each menu. (Copyris Creamed Haddock Savory. Mix three cupfuls of shredded cooked haddock with three cupfuls of cold cooked potatoes cut into fine pieces.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘The Lacey children were over the measles and feeling quite well again. They were looking forward to Easter, since it meant out of doors and Spring- time. It also mean a gift of some sort. Mr. snd Mrs. Lacey talked it over and decided that the idea of Easter and resurrection and new life could best be glven by choosing live gifts. So the Lacey children found a little rabbit in it. Where they pleased? Ask them. The first thing Claire did was to hunt up an animal book and find out what rabbits needed to eat. Armed with this knowledge, she told Judith to ask Pam to bring much water. And then she begged lettuce from her mother. She begged so hard and took away so much that the Lacey family ate a let- tuceless salad that day for luncheon. Joan’s present was a 1 rambler rosebush.

I stuck to it, however, and gradually the soreness disappeared, and I was just as flat as my husband ever could “I can relax these muscles now, but I have to make an effort to do it. Per- haps you"would tell me that it was not good for me, but I can see no ill re- sults.” ‘The article to which the correspond- ent refers was published in February, and in it I said a normal, healthy, well developed woman hasn’t a flat or re- tracted body at all.

Making a Loving Husband Jealous. { DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I married in my early teens. Thought I was really | ! in love, but found out that I was mistaken. My husband and I stuck together for eight. years, then we parted. Now I have met a man I really love | and admire and trust. But do you think a second marriage will bring me more happiness and content than the first one did? Do people go into these second | marriages with a better understanding of one another? I can see many faults I had and many mistakes that I made in my first marriage. Will this help me to make a success of my next venture? INTERESTED READER. Answer: A poet has said that we climb to higher things on the stepping stones of our dead selves, and it seems to me that this is more true in marriage than it is in anything else. When a marriage is a failure, the average husband and wife almost | | invariably lay the whole blame for it on each other. The neglected wife, whose | husband spends his time at the club or playing pool, calls upon us to weep with | her in her loneliness. She never admits that the reason her husband never stayed at home was because the house was untidy and the food badly cooked, and there wasn't a clean or a comfortable place in it where he could sit down | and read his paper in peace. I The woman whose husband is a philanderer bemoans the injustice of her fate, She never admits that she has let herself get so slovenly and unattractive that it gave her husband a pain in the eyes to look at her. The woman whose husband grows tired of her, and at middle age falls in | love with some other woman, feels that she is a martyr to the perfidy of man. | She refuses to face the fact that she has done nothing to improve her mind or keep in step with her husband; that she never reads a book or a paper or a | magazine, or has a thought beyond her housekeeping and the beauty parlor and the shops, and that she has grown so dull and boring that she has driven him to a more intelligent and interesting woman for companionship, Nor does the man whose wife is peevish and fretful and complaining ever feel that he is to blame for her state of mind because he has never tried to | develop any sense of humor or philosophy in her, and he never cheers her up by taking her to any place of amusement or doing any active thing to make her happy and contented. So I think that when a man and woman are big enough and broad enough | to face the fact that if their first marriages were unhappy it was largely their own fault, they stand a splendid chance of making a second marriage a success, Certainly every one can look back and remember where she made mountains out of molehills, where a little tact and diplomecy would have saved & row, where silence would have been golden, and where she might have recognized that she should have met a situation with patience and forbearance, instead of with temper and frritability, Most second marriages are heppier than first marriages, and this is not only because people wWho marry the sccond time are older and more sure of | themselves and of what they want and need in a mate, but because most widows | and widowers know the bitter and unavalling regret with which they looked down upon a coffined form and remembered sharp words said in anger, little kindnesses, little tendernesses that would have brought joy to the one who was past their reach, and that they had neglected to show. The same thing holds true of divorce. Very few men and women go through that fiery furnace without having some of their selfishness and egotism burned away, and without determining to try to do more to make second marriage more of a success than the first one wes. DOROTHY DIX. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Is marriage all it is cracked up to be? Is it right to marry a man when one likes him lots, but doesn’t know whether it is love? Is it love when you can't get the person out of your mind? Do you really love | a person when little acts annoy you, and will these seem larger in the years | to come? Does everybody hesitate just before the knot is tied, afraid to risk it? | If a man is slow in proposing and you know he loves you, what is the matter? | Does it hurt when you realize that husband would rather read the paper than | talk to you? Is a husband werth giving up a good education and a good job for, even if we have to live on bread and water for a while? Has a man of 26 got as far as he will ever be if he has had practically the same job for | seven years? LOIS. Answer: What a questionnaire! You run the whole gamut of the risks of matrimony. But to answer a few of your queries. Marriage is not all it is cracked up to be, nor is it all it is knocked for. It is like every other venture in life, full of potentialities for success and failure, for happiness and misery. It is up to you to make of it what you will., The main thing for a girl to consider in marriage is whether she is in love or not, and as long as she is uncertain as to the state of her affections she is wise if she gives herself the benefit of the doubt, and decides that she is not. For love is like the flu, you may mistake half a dozen bad colds for it, but when you get the real article you know you have it. You will ache in every bone and have a high temperature, and you won’t need any doctor to diagnose your symptoms for you. You will recognize them yourself. Not being able to get & person off of your mind is no sign of love. A lot of people we actually hate preoccupy our thoughts. On the contrary, it is no indication that you don't love the young man because his faults annoy you. All of us have little ways that get on the rierves of others, but the happiness of marriage depends largely on our being able to put up with these personal peculiarities of our life partners. Marrying on bread and wajer is romantic, but hazardous. You will find after you are married that you'get hungry and want beef steaks and good clothes and amusements just as much as you did before marriage, and you will be very wise to wait until you can properly finance a home before you get married. Love is mighty apt to sneak cut of the window when the bill collector hammers on the door. There are many reasons why a man who is in love with you may be slow in proposing. In your particular case it is doubtless because he is not making enough money to marry on, and he wants to wait until he is in a better tion before he takes a wife, At 26 a young man is just beginning to get on feet in business and it is to his credit that he has held the same position for seven years. It shows that he has patlence and persistence, and that he gives satisfaction to his employer. ¢ Of course, every sane human being hesitates on the brink of matrimony. No one can take a leap in the dark without some misgivings as to where he will land. My advice to you is to keep on hesitating until you are more sure of your own sentiments and your sweetheart is making more money. Sk DOROTHY DIX, DI:AE MISS DIX: Is it & good plan for a woman occasionally to make her husband jealous? I have a frlend who is very much in love with her husband and she keeps him in doubt as to what she does when he is away from home. It is a new plan she is-trying and it seems to work, as he used to take her for granted, but now he is acquiring a jealous disposition. A GIRL FRIEND. Answer: The first thing your friend knows she will find herself involved in an ugly scandal, and she will end up in the divorce court. The tactics that apply before marriage are ruinous afterward. It may pique a boy's interest in a ‘rr to think she is interested in other boys and has dates with them, but a husband wants to feel secure in his wife's heart and to know that he is the man. Anyway it seems to me that there are difficultles and dangers and troubles enough in married life without a woman going out deliberately to rouse the green monster in her husband’s breast and make him suspicious of her, DOROTHY DIX.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. It seems as if every home should have a floor screen. There are so many uses for one, aside from its decorative qual- ity, that its importance is foremost among the larger pieces of furniture. For example, how necessary it is to| have a screen in the dining room across | the doorway to the kitchen. Even though there is a door in this opening, during the serving of the meal it is swung open many times, only to show & kitchen when it is not at its best. An awkward corner of a room may be relieved by the addition of a floor screen, with an easy chair, bridge lamp and small table or magazine rack grouped in front. The screen in the {llustration is a simple one, with a wallboard founda- tion. The entire covering is of wall- paper, with borders carefully mitered at the corners and the whole of the panels treated with varnish or shellac. ‘The back of the screen could be painted or covered with plain paper to match the ground of the outer covering. the last drep Q. 1089, P.
