When done cut off a small portion from the end of each potato. Scoop out the inside and mash when all have been so prepared. Mix a little butter and milk with the po- tato. Have ready enough chopped bolled or baked ham to allow one heaping tablespoonful to one potato. Mix with ready prepared mustard and a little chopped sweet pepper and celery. Add to the mashed potato and mix thor- oughly. Press the mixture into the po- tato shells, heaping up the filling. Re- turn to the oven to get piping hot and serve immediately. Cover the top of circles of toasted bread with chopped, freshly cooked spinach. Have as many of these circles as there are persons to be served. Poach as many eggs and drop carefully onto the top of the spinach. Sprinkle lightly In the center of a platter or chop dish arrange the baked ham and po- tatoes and surround them with the cir- cles of spinach and eggs. This makes parsley are used as a garnish.

Place a piece of white oflcloth, smooth side up, on the bureau. The silk lining will adhere to this and the cover will lie flat. If shredded cocoanut is left un- covered it soon becomes dry.

Early in October Nancy devoted one whole day to the making of Christmas fruit cake. She knew that such rich and heavy fruit cake improved upon stand- ing. The fruits blended with the spices and both of them added their tangs and richness to the small amount of dough that held the fruits together. When Nancy knew that fruit cake days had arrived, she looked at her budget, chose a week when grocery bills would be light and then ordered these ingredients from the grocer: One pound each of butter and brown sugar, one dozen eggs, three pounds raisins seeded, two pounds Sultana rai- sins, one and one-half pounds citron. one pound currants, one-quarter pound lemon peel, one-quarter pound orange peel. one pound figs. ‘Then she measured one pound flour, one cup molasses, four teaspoons cinna- mon, four teaspoons allspice, one and one-half teaspoons mace, one nutmeg, gut?d; one-quarter teaspoon soda, one- teaspoon salt, one cup grape juice or e?flce. four ounces of squares of choc- olate. She creamed the butter_added sugar gradually, then yolks of beaten un- til lemon colored. She had washed and dried the fruit previously. The peels, figs and citron were shredded, the rai- sins were chopped and blended with one-half cup flour. The spices, soda {and salt were put in remaining ficur. This was added to creamed butter, sugar | and egg yolks. Then the fruits were stirred in. Chocolate melted over hot water was added. Last the beaten egg whites were folded in. The mixture was put in loat tins or round molds and steamed for three hours. Then it was mkeg in a slow oven—250 degrees—for one hour. After cooling it was put away to ripen until Christmas time.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Is Man in Love Blind to the Charms of Other Girls?>—Peculiar Point of View of the Self- Invited Guest. Dmmssmx: My son, who is 24 years old, thinks he is in love. For a year he has to see the same girl nearly every night. She is very attractive and they are very congenial, but the feeling he has for her doesn't keep him from bet keenl{ulnmud in other girls with whom he is thrown in contact. Do u that he really loves this girl and that his interest in other women is the result of man’s natural polygamous nature, or do you think that he is looking, perhaps unconsciously, for some one who sults him better? I you onlf certain of his affectjons. MOTHER. stil don’t want to interfere, but I do want him to be Answer: I should not think he cared very much for the girl if he still has a roving eye for every skirt that flutters his way. My observation has been that as long as & man is really in love he has no interest in any other woman than the one on whom he has bestowed his affections. He is blind to their beauty, deaf to their witty conversations, dumb to their attractions, indifferent to their charms, no matter how great. 8o I am inclined to think that your son has mistaken liking for loving, which is a very different thing, and that his feeling toward the young lady is merely one of friendship. He enjoys her society because they are congenial. ‘That isn't, of course, a bad basis on which to marry, for a platonic -flectlol} often outlasts a flery passion. It endures, while the conflagration burns itsel out. The husband and wife who have the same taste and the same point of view and who can amble along riding the same hobbies may not have as many thrills as those who experience the grand passion, but they have a mighty com- fortable, placid existence and seldom land in the divorce courts. \ Perhaps your son is one of the men who love women in general rather than one in particular. There are plenty of men to whom women are alluring as a sex and who are general lovers, so to speak. Every woman between the cradle and the grave interests them and has a certain charm for them. They seek women's soclety instinctively, They are interested in women’s fashions and notice how every woman is dressed. The{ like to buy pretty things for women and to deck out the women they love with chiffois and furs and velvets and jewels. They are connisseurs of feminine pluchritude and will say that this girl has a pretty foot and ankle and that girl a lovely ncekline. They are enchanted by one woman being brilliant and another one being a beautiful moron. But these men who diffuse their affection for women over the entire sex xver love any onewoman supremely well, and if they marry they are philan- rers, Perhaps r son belongs to this type, but anyway he may rest assured that he is not really in love until one woman fills his heart, temporarily at least, to DOROTHY DIX. the exclusion of all other women. e s o0 DIAR DOROTHY DIX: T have been trying to figure out the point of view of a visitor who suddenly ngpun with her family to stay a week without previously notifying her hostess that she is coming, and I have decided that she does this way because she has no imagination. She cannot picture other house- holds being subject to sickness, accident, previous plans and fatigue. While this matter has to do with etiguette and mercy. It is only mercy to give a few ys’ notice to one's hostess that she is coming. JULL A H. Answer: You cerainly take a lenlent view of the situation, Julia. I should say that the seif-invited guest who descends on you bag and baggage and brats, without warning, is lacking in common decency and consideration more than she is in imegination, and no one except one who was brutally selfish would do such a thing. It doesnt take imagination to visualize at long range the trouble and inconvenience that an unexpected guest puts a hostess to. Every woman knows | that from her own experience. She knows that except in the houses of million- aires, and perhaps even in millionaire homes, for all I know to the contrary, the coming of guests disarranges the household schedule and that certain arrange- | ments have to be made for a guest's comfort. Among people in ordinary circum- stances it means a lot of extra cleaning up and cooking and shifting the family about and planning for the guest’s comfort and amusement. fashion, without precipitating a domestic catastrophe, but for a lot of people | suddenly to wish themselves upon a woman when perhaps the baby is sick and | the maid has left and the larder has run low or the hostess has a sick headache is a source of work, worry and mortification, and turns what might have been a pleasant visit into a nightmare. In these days of regular mail and air mail and telephone and telegraph and radio, we have plenty of means of communicating with those we wish to visit us, and when we don't send an invitation to a guest to come and bring along the children and spend a week with us it is a dead sure sign we don't want her.

They will be set up as fast as they are received. Some 14 of them are already finished and the es- tablishment in " Baltimore is turning them out at the rate of two a day.

A communication to The Evening Star, signed “Theater,” printed today, says: “The question has been frequently asked of late, ‘Are we to have a thea- ter in Washington?’ Certainly, we shall have one this year or the next.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHEN R. GUNN, A Wife's Due. “Let the husband render unto the wife her due.”—I Cor., vil.3. | ‘The first thing a husband owes his wife is a good husband—not money, | not a showy residence, not luxuries, but ! a husband who will give her himself and his companionship. A wife wants | in her husband not a mere provider, | but a pal A husband owes it to his wife to be liberal with her. It is her due to share equally with him the fruits of his labor, Many & man will “blow in” on himself whenever h: !e!dl! Ilkedl!, but le’t his wife go out and spend money for & good time and he will howl like a hyena. A man should not be any more stingy with his wife than he is with himself. If he expects his wife to be & partner with him in saving money he should make her a in spending it. All along the line it is the wife's due to be treated as a partner—not as a mere housemaid, but as a helpmate. ‘The husband should take her into his confidence regarding his affairs. As a partner in the concern she has a right to know how business is going and a right to be heard. Many a man would get along better if he would take counsel more with his wife. Let tie husband treat his wife as some- thing moére than a mere side issue; let him render unto her that respect and honor which belong to wifehood.

For the next several months the woman with a tendency to put on weight will find life very difficult. So many of the. loods of midsummer which make & pleasant business have disappeared. Cooler weather in- creases the appetite, potatoes are more and more tempting, and meat seems a y. In spite of this you can, if you are very careful, keep from gaining weight. One way is to eaf breakfast. It's really except for anemic ple, and it's ex- traordinary how quickly you'll get used te going without food and even liking it better.

It is not fattening and gives the digestion o long rest until lunch time. ‘The rest of the day simply watch ‘what you're eating and whenever you've & choice take the least fattening foods. Cut off the pleces of fat that come with your meat and do not eat them; don’t eat potatoes at all, or, if you do, don’t eat bread. Don't take thick soup because the thickening gives it a higher caloric value; choose a thin soup in- stead, of which you can eat quantities. Avoid beans, particularly home baked ones, for these are devastating to the , Avold cakes and puddings which you know contain cream, sugar and such delightful but terribly fatten- ing ingredients. It's extremely difficuit but necessary if you wish to avoid fat. You'll have to substitute stewed fruit olr ):ome sort of dessert which is not so rich. If your weight now is correct, and If you want to GUAR you are only trying to avold getting stouter, it is not difficult because you need only eliminate & few of the most fattening things from your diet; you need not count your calories.
