One is that a family may be 8o small that the Thanksgiving bird, however little it may weigh, is '-m:':? ‘Turkeys are rather large for a ff ly of two or three. The second reason is the cost. Many homemakers find they should buy some meat that is not listed among the delicacies. Then there is a third reason, seldom found, that is squares, brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and Just @& dash ef sugar. Put into a covered dish and bake until tendcr— to three-quarters of an hour. Place these squares around the veal on the platter, and edge with parsley sprigs. For vegetables, have mashed white potatoes, celery, boiled onions, string beans or peas and cranberry sauce. Pumpkin ple is the correct kind to serve on Thanksgiving, but mince is an American favorite. ‘The latter is recommended for a veal dinner. Have it hot, and with cheese on the side. Follow this with nuts, raisins, fruit and candy, and the meal should be successful. (Copyright. 1930.) FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Color in Our Meals. 1t is quite possible to make or mar a meal, so far as its appetizing qualities g0, by the color schemes you choose for it. Color has a very strong influence on some of us—an influence 3f a sort on all of us. And our appetites are tempted or repelled, very often with- out our knowing it, by the color scheme of our meals. ‘The bright red of cranberries, the |jm, vivid green of watercress, the orange of carrots, the deep red of beets. All these colors ‘do much to point up a meal otherwise rather monotonous so far as color is concerned. So if you have planned a white meal, choose one of | these vivid color-vegetables to brighten it up and redeem it from monotonous- | ness. A fish dinner is very often white. | The fish is white, the potatoes are white. So be sure, with fish, to have the other vegetables colorful. You might, so far as taste is concerned, choose creamed cauliflower to go with fish. Spinach would be a far better rom the color point of view. Or beets. And, as a matter of fact, | spinach and beets, with fish and pota- toes, make an excellent combination. ‘The leaf of the spinach, the root of the beet, are well combined dietetically. The tastes are quite harmonious, both together and with that of fish. Beets and cranberries don’t look well on the same plate, to the color-sensi- tive eye—any more than a red with a red dress looks well unless hat and dress colors match perfectly. ‘When you come to think of it, it is interesting that our vegetable colors are all green, yellow or red. In some shade or other of these colors we find all our vegetables—don't we? Then too, there are the colorless vegetables—the white ones, like potatoes and caulifiower. These add varlety, but they may, if used too much together, produce mo- notony. Quince Jelly.

Their view is that no prob- lem differs much from another, and so they do not bother about solving any of them. It's a great system. But they, curi-| ously, are of the type that is always “inventing” systems to beat Wall Street. Not to have any awareness of hap- piness in the miraculous moment of its occurrence is to invalidate both one's past and future, It is as if one pos- sessed—let us say—money, and never at any time spent it or knew its value.

C, TUESDAY, FAMOUS PREDICTIONS Father of Vespasian Reads Son’s Fature Greatness in Omen. BY J. P. GLASS. 1t was & legend of the Flavian family that upon its estate near Rome there flourished an old oak, sacred to Mars, which put forth a new branch each time Vespasia, wife of Flavius Sabinus, bore a child. ‘The first branch was slender and quickly withered. Vespasia's first child, a girl, did not live long. The second, more vigorous, lived and thrived, which promised good fortune. gin when Nero had a tooth drawn. The next day a surgeon showed him a tooth which he had just extracted from Nero's jaw. Soothsayers assured him of success in all he undertook. ‘Through all the East the superstition prevailed that the empire of the world would devolve on some one who went forth from Judea. The Jews, thinking they were meant, started a rebellion, and Vespasian was sent from Rome to THE OX FELL DOWN AT VESPASIAN’S FEET. Vespasia's second child, Sabinus, named for his father, flourished and rose to be perfect. The third branch grew like a tree. This led Sabinus, the elder, to predict that his third child, also a boy, would become Emperor of Rome. Lile Vespasian's grandmother laughed heartily at this prophecy. The Flavians were of humble Cescent. They boasted no proud ancestry. “I wonder,” said she to Sabinus, “that you in your prime should be in your dotage, while I, in my old age, continue in possession of my faculties.” ‘Goed auguries of Vespasian's future glory continued. In his young manhood, while he was serving as aedile (official in charge of public lands, bulldings, etc.), Caius Caesar became angry through his fail- ure to keep the streets clean. He or- dered the soldiers to fill the bosom of Vespasian's gown with dirt. is was construed by some persons as a sign that the government, being trampled under foot and deserted in some civil commotion, would fall under his pro- tection, and, as it were, into his lap. ‘The words are those of Suetonius. On another occasion, while he was dining, a strange dog, & street-wan- derer, brought the right hand of a man and laid it under the table. The right hand being the symbol of sov- ereign power, those who witnessed the incident predicted great things for Vespasian. Other wonderful things happened. While Vespasian was at supper, a plow-ox threw the yolk off his neck and broke into the room.

It is possible to discover four types of temperaments among your acquaint- ances. First you have the susceptible type. Susceptible persons are easily recog- nized. You will hear them sniffiing at the movies when the hero is killed. ‘They do a lot of yelling at ball games, have considerable faith in home reme- dies, believe practically everything the gypsies say, refuse to believe that there 1S no Santa Claus. Next you have the ite type. In- stead of being suscep! , they are sus- don’t Dbellev live some distance from the main highway. In order to get the four types you must subdivide the susceptible and the suspicious. e the susceptible type first. Bub- stitute the word receptive for suscep- tible. Then you get the two subdivi- sions. Some are receptive in an emo: tional sense, others in an intellectual sense. You then have those who are susceptible to feelings and those who are susceptible to ideas. To put it in other terms, you have the sympathetic and the suggestible. You may now subdivide the suspi- cious, using for the time being the word critical instead of suspicious. Some are critical about emotions, others critical about ideas. Boil them down and you have what is known in everyday life as the hard-hearted and the hard- headed.
