WOMAN"’ Chicks in Nests—Edible Flowers BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Baster dishes for Easter day‘are be- ing planned by homemakers every- where. Picturesque dishes are sought by mothers whose little folk delight in colored eggs and representations of wee ghicks in edibles, and also of flowers, etc. All of these come in candy in the stores, but in other edibles they can be more easily homemade. Chicks in a Nest.—Hard boil as mn:dy eges as there are persons to be served. Shell the eggs and carefully remove the white part without breaking the yolks. Cut the whites into shreds. Cut tiny triangles from white writing paper. Crease from one tip of the triangle to the center of the straight line o) ite it. Carefully thrust one of these “bills” into each egg yolk. Should the yolk separate a trifie, turn it and put the “bill” in the other side of the yolk. The broken part will be hidden when the chigk is in the nest. i Press nted ends of -Kple seeds seed each side of and just a trifie above it to represent eyes! It. may be wise to press the tip of a skewer into the places ‘where the eyes are to go and make tiny cavities for the seed eyes. Place one chick in each nest. Serve with a nut mayonnaise. To make this add chopped suts to Russian dressing. Edible Easter Flowers.—Marguerites DAILY DIET RECIPE EGGS TURQUE. Eggs, four. Swiss cheese, one-quarter pound. Butter, two tablespoons. Salt, one-quarter teaspoon. Toast squares, four. SERVES FOUR PORTIONS.

The FAMOUS flavor of Deerfoot farm Sausage is not matched by any other sausage IF YOU could see what per- fect cuts of tender fresh pork are chosen for Deerfoot Farm Sausage—see the way this meat is chopped to 2 uniform fineness instead of ground— see how skilfully (fi secret blend of rare spices is mixed in, you would say that Deer- footFarm Sausage should taste better than any other brand. And it does! For proof try some right away. Sold every- where—linked sausage in pound and half-pound car- tons; Sausage Patties in half- are made by slicing hard-boiled egg whites into petal-shaped pieces, powder- ing the yolks and arranging the petals around little flattened mounds of the yolks. Put each marguerite on a large |mce of buttered toast spread with cream cheese. mixed lavishly with minced parsley to give a delicate foli- age green tint. Serve with sauce. Mammoth Ox-Eyed Daisy.—Arrange fittle young carrots on green string beans so that the carrots form petals and the beans, foliage. In the center of the carrot petals put a round of | roasted, well browned Hamburg steak | and you will have a substantial one-dish | | meal. Browned creamed mushrooms {can form the center of a purely vege- | tarian dish if preferred. (Copyright, 1931, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) | | Fruit Salad- Dressing.

BOTH ALIKE IN SOME RESPECTS, P BOTH THINK THAT THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD \S SOMETHING TO PLAY ON “THE PHONOGRAPH . eeeen AR “Ima Dudd and her brother " is the required form.

CALL FOR IT BY NAME | | The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD Who started her caréer as @ frightened typist and who decame. one of the highest paid business women in America. The Matter With Her. Here is the strange story of a girl who can always get a job, but who can't | asked if I gould go out to have my bear to stay in one. “Since a very early age I have been hampered by a pronounced inferiority complex. I had to leave school at 14 to earn money. “Until 17 I stayed in one position as file clerk. My efforts to learn stenog- raphy during the evenings were luke- warm, because of the indifference of my teachers and my own lack of interest. I was al- ways on needles and pins concern- ing my job. I had an extremely irri- [ table boss, who P bawled any one out on the slightest provocation. I lived in abject terror. He noticed this, and at times tried to be really kind to me. When his stenographer left he gave me a chance at her position. I tried it for a week and suffered torments. My stenography was a mess, and the boss scolded and swore at every mis- take I made, and I certainly made plenty of them, After a week I sur- rendered. “I then got a position in an institu- tion. I handed in poor work and so was miserable. My typing was terrible and my shorthand worse. I worked there two years. Helen Woodward. “Last month I left and immediately | got_ancther job. The salary of $25 a week rather awed me. The first day I realized it was too much for me, but my family urged me to stay. “I managed to keep up the bluff until the ninth day. That morning I had a raging toothache. I had made a mistake in a tedious report I was copy- ing. It had to be done over again. felt desperate. My toothache grew I | spoonfuls of vinegar to & quart and “I then did a cowardly thing. I put the report in a drawer in my desk and tooth pulled. Then I left, never to| darken their doors again. “The next day I resigned by letter because (I said) there hasn't been enough stenography. The boss wrote back a letter that almost prostrated me. I had never been talked to so frankly in all my life. He was brutal and did not spare mé. He said he was amazed at my excuse, as my dictation had been so badly done. All he said was the truth, but it hurt. (Signed) “EDITH P.” If Edith really hates stenography, she | ought to learn something new. If, how- | ever, she is suffering from fear, she ought not to take another job until she | has taken a first-class shorthand course. | Knowing your job is a fine cure for | nervous fear. People who suffer fr.m a sense of | inferiority usually wind up by doing | well, because they try harder than self- | satisfled people, Perhaps there is a key to the whole story in this sentence, “I had never been talked to so frankly in all my life.” Does that mean that she's a wz;:?d child who is unable to face the Girls having problems in connection with their work may write to Miss Woodward, in care of this paper, for her personal advice. (Copyrignt, 1931.) To Press Trousers. ‘When pressing trousers or any sort of woolen garment lay a cloth wrung out of warm water to which a little vinegar has been added on the gar- | ment and press with a hot iron.
