WOMAN’'S PAGE. Salad Course for Lenten Menus BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. In some homes during Lent the des- gert course- is omitted from dinner menus as & minor form of fasting, or “giving up for Lent,” as such depriva- tions are termed today. To round out the meal pleasingly, in such cases, it is THESE SALADS ARE DELICATE AND DELICIOUS. advisable to serve a salad in especially tempting form. As fruits are not barred, they being necessary to good health, 1fruit salads are admirable to serve. Without infringing on the stipulated omission of sweets from the diet, & proper assortment of fruits can appease | the appetite accustomed to delicious desserts. It is for the jJomemaker o give her family tempting meals during Range of Taste in Hats 'HE hat that killed the business,” said a millinery designer of inter- national prestige, in speaking of the tricot hat that is little more than & crown set on the back of the head. “Why do you say that?” a visitor queried. “It is not the only hat by any moeans.” “It is the hat that sells best at the present time.” he continued, “appar- eatly the type that the majority of vomen want at the moment. Millinery w2s on the upgrade as an art until this hat came along.” “The upgra 2 craft, you mean,” it was argued. “This little hat is as artistic ‘as it can be, and its becoming- ness to age as well as youth is amaz- ing.” / The sketches made at the luncheon hour at one of New York's smartest restaurants will show that there is con- giderable variety in millinery as chosen by well dressed women, but we must say that honors were pretty well divided be- tween the tricot hat and the tricorne of straw; the former wreathed with a halo of bright contrasting silks twisted to- gether, the latter bound at the edges with ribbon and often carrying an ab- breviated veil partly to screen the eyes. One of the nicest examples of this Jaunty type of hat as worn by an older woman is seen. It has a tricot crown and a halo of black and white silk and was worn far back on the head and well to dne side. With her snow-white hair the effect was very pleasing and sufficiently dignified Other types of hats sketched on the s2me day show the importance of the mushroom hat with shallow crown and | medium brim. the tilted hat with flow- er-trimmed bandesu, longer on one side, and the draped hat. So all these are among the newest models as cre- ated in Paris and show that the mil- MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Steamed Prunes. Dry Cereal with Cream. Vegetable Hazh. Hot Corn Muffins. Cofee.

Take four good sized beets and carrots, one large turnip, peel them, then wash and slicq them quite thin and place in a kettle with enough water so that there will be about two inches of water above the vegetables. Add a piece of pork two inches square and a little cooking soda about as big as a pea. Boll three hours, but not di- rectly over the fire. Put the ket- tle on the cover of the stove, for if 1t cooks too guickly it will burn on the botom. When nearly done add salt and pepper to taste. When done it will have a thick gravy. PRUNE GELATIN. One package of orange gelatin, one cup boiling water, three ta- blespoons sugar, one cup strained prune pulp, one cup prune juice. Mix granulated orange gelatin with sugar, dissclved with hot water, stirring well; then add add prune juice. When cool, whip to the consistency of whipped cream and add prune pulp.

The following salads are attrac- tive and nourishing. Orange Salad—Wash and cut large oranges in halves. Remove the inside of each, keeping the sections as whole as possible. ‘Allow two dates, one fig, one-half teaspcon nut meats (not chiop- ped fine), two teaspoons minced apple and two maraschino cherries to gach half orange. Chop the dates and fig and mix with the other ingredients, in- cluding the orange. Fill the orange skins with the mixture. Across the top lay narrow strips of lettuce in diagonal parallel rows with little spaces between and cross these with similar strips, | giving a basket weave effect. Sprinkle the lettuce with chopped meraschino cherries. Serve with French dressing, passed separately. Salad in Nests—Shred crisp lettuce leaves and form little hollow nests on a large serving dish or on individual | plates. Line each nest with half &) large canned peach. Mix finely chop- | ped nuts and rice with cream cheese |and mayonnaise and form into eggs. | Roll lightly in minced pistachio nuts | or minced parsley to give a speckled- | egg appeearance. Place three eggs in | each peach. Serve with Russian dress- | ing, pasced, but not put on the salad. (Copyright, 1931.) Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Things Picked Up. One of the secrets of keeping house easlly and with the appearance of eas: | is keeping things cleaned up. That is, don't let the house get-all out of order et the same time. Keep it in order, as much as possible, as you go along. Sometimes, of course, time may be | saved by letting things go for a few days and then having a grand and glorious | housecleaning. But for the most part | it is easier if you “pick up” the whole house each day. A few minutes each | moming spent picking up discarded newspapers of the preceding day, put- ting fresh water on flowers, emptying waste-paper baskets and picking up | scraps of all sorts will prevent a lot of confusion. If this sort of work is neg- lected for two or three days it piles up discouragingly. And it is the same thing with the daily dusting of furni- ture and dust mopping of floors and carpet sweeping of rugs. And with cleaning the bathrooms, at least super- ficiously. And with brushing the porches and steps. The small amount of care every day | keeps the house always in order and so prevents & great deal of confusion and disorder that come when the little things from day to day are neglected. The same method is a good one to pursue with regard to the refrigerator, too. If you go over it every day and discard eny food that is not going to keep, use up Il odds and ends that you can, and make sure that nothing has ‘spoiled, your task of weekly or twice-a-week refrigerator cleaning “will be an easy one, and your loss on spoiled food will be practically nothing. liner still has plenty of outlet for her capabilities. Bright green made frequent appear- ances in millinery and there wes con- siderable navy biue and varying shades of beige. Colored trimmings in contrast to the of the hat were apparent, as in a navy blue hat with a twisted halo of turquoise blue and navy blue ribbon, and s beige hat swathed in green. Flower trimmings are becoming important, and many small veils were seen. 3 more fellows was late for skool yestidday and Miss Kitty was mad as anything, saying.

Imitation. In order to understand imitation in its psychological sense you must srst consider it in its bioligical sense. Na- ture has decreed that every creature shall resemble the type. The laws of imitation are in the first place the laws of reproduction of kind. ‘The only exceptions to these laws are those sudden changes, sométimes called “sports,” sometimes "(enlu;ge." In either case nat: is merely’ experi- menting—trying to find a new high level of progress. ‘When it comes to human affairs the social l,sgecm of the law of imitation reach a higher point of race preserva- tion and self-preservation.. Life, com- plex and varied as it is, still obeys the fundamental law of like creating like. Main street reaches from pole to pole and circumnavigates the globe. On the basis of imitation you can exp] legal mandates and procedures, the adoption of inventions—everything. A social institution is but the length- ened shadow of some genius, Who in his own day carved out the model for a higher order of social adjustment. Imi- tation did the rest. Originality is a rare thing. By impe ceptible degrees new things are incor- rated with the old. Our ancestry is ?:r more important than some of us are willing to concede. Free will is a myth, Coercion on the part of the group and sanction on the part of the individual cover that propo- sition. Imitation, and imitation alone, takes first rank among the human drives. (Copyright, 1931 A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, The Best We Can. “And He looked up, and saw the rich man casting their gifts into the tre ury. And He saw a poor widow casting in thither two mites. And He said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all; for all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the | living that she had.’—Luke, xxl.1- Somewhere I have read the follow- n “what is in thine hand, Abel?’ «Nothing but one wee lamb, O God, taken from the flock.

And the sweet. smell of the burning has been filling the air ever since, and constantly going up fo God s a perpetual sacrifice of praise. “'What s that thou hast in thine hand, Moses?’ “‘Nothing but a staff, O God, with which I tend my flock.” “‘Take it and use it for Me’' And he did, and it wrought more wondrous things than Egypt and her proud King | had seen b:fore. “«Mary, what is that thou has in thine hand?” ““Nothing but & pot of sweet-smelling .ointtent, O God, wherewith I would anoint Thine only One, called Jesus.' 86 she did, and not only did the per- fume fiil all the house in which they were but the Bible-reading world has been fragrant with the memory of this blessed act of love, which has ever since been spoken of for a memorial of her. “'poor woman, what is it thou hast in thine hand?’ “‘Only two mites, Lord. It is very little, but, then, it is all I have, and I would put it info the treasury.’ So she did, and the story of her svnemus giv- ing has ever since wrought like a charm, prom) others to give to the Lord.” 1t is not the amount we give to the Lord that pleases Him, but the love and = boar our gift represents. The gift t receives His highest commendation and blessing is not that which Is largest in , but rather that which is t in devotion. Those who stand highest in God's favor are those who do the best they can, not necessarily those who do the most. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” was spoken to the man with only two talents as well as to the man with five. We may not be able to do so much as some others, but God is always pleased with us and will not fail to bless what we do—when we do the best we can. late tomorrow morning I advise them to stay away intrely, she sed.

Question of Rent. ‘The question of how much rent you | should pay may be raising its querulous head agafn. This is the time of the year that onme decides to move or not to move, and either decision will naturally involve, “How much rent?” Once upon a time, if you are old enough to remember it, women were told that they should never budget more than 20 to 25 per cent of the family's income for rent, That seemed simple. One would then divide the family hznd or mind, sally forth to find a rental figure that corresponded with the result of one's division. The catch came, however, when some women found that in some towns or some sections of some towns, rentals were either uniformly higher or lower than the rule-of-thumb figure. Then they were perplexed with the question, “Should we spend more or less than the specified sum?” We believe women must adapt them- selves to conditions. Of course, some limit must be set, else we would be spending all of our incomes on rent, and 'rnctmuly nothing on clothes and ‘There is always & way to economize, however. It may be in choosing a modest neighborhood, a smaller abode, or a less desirable house or apartment than one planned on In the smaller cities and towns it is far easier to secure a home at a reasonable rental than it is to one in a metropolis. Realty values vary widely, living quarters of a desir- able nature are at more of a premium, and people of means seem to abound.
