Add one chicken bouillon tube, salt and paprika to taste, one cupful of canned corn, the cut-up contents of a 6-ounce can of chicken and one slightly beaten egg yolk. Serve hot. Cottage Cheese. Cottage cheese is valuable for its high protein and calcium content, which makes it a valuable meat substitute. For salads, cottage cheese may be used to fill tomatoes, canned pears, peaches, slices of pineapple, prunes or celery stalks and served on lettuce with boiled or mayonnaise ‘dressing. It may be combined with dressing and nuts, pars- ley, peppers or jelly and formed into balls or a small loaf which is sliced and served on lettuce. The balls may be rolled in grated cheddar cheese and served on lettuce with dressing. Cottage cheese makes an excellent filler for sandwiches if moistened with boiled dressing, cream or a little lemon juice. Whole wheat bread is good for these sandwiches. Some of the popular fillings with cottage cheese are cheese with chopped parsley, celery, pickles, or olives or a tart conserve on a layer of cheese. Pear - Tomato - Cheese Salad.— Slice some chilled ripe tomatoes and lay one slice in each of eight individual nests of lettuce. Place half a pear from a No. 2 can on top of each, cut side up. Mix one cream cheese with three table- spoonfuls of chili sauce and pile into the pear cavities. Garnish with strips of canned pimento and serve with either mayonnaise or French dressing. Salmon in Cucumber. Spiced sglmon in cucumber boats makes an attracive dish for porch en- tertaining. To make, mash the con- tents of one large can of salmon. Boll three-fourths cupful of vinegar with 12 whole cloves, 12 peppercorns, 6 all- spice berries and a pinch of salt for 2 minutes. Pour hot over the salmon and let stand for several hours. Drain and serve cold in cucumber boats or on lettuce garnished with sliced cucumbers. Beverages. Iced Tea—A good way to make the tea is to place the tea leaves in the top of a percolator and allow the water to perk over the leaves about 10 times. The leaf container can then be removed and the tea will not get stronger than it does when allowed to stand on the leaves. tea into glasses one-third full of cracked ice or over a block of ice in a pitcher. Add sugar and lemon juice to taste, or a combination of lemon and orange juice, and garnish with lemon and orange slices. Fresh mint leaves may be added if liked. To gar- nish ice cubes for serving in ice tea, put into each compartment of the re- frigerator pan a maraschino or a candied cherry, one or two mint leaves or one-fourth slice of lemon. Fill with water and freeze. Iced Coffee.—Use the percolator when making the coffee, adding a table- spoonful of coffee for each cupful of water. A pinch of salt added to the coffee grains will help to bring out | the flavor. Pour the hot coffee over ice in glasses or pitcher. Serve with cream and powdered sugar. Grapefruit Drink.—Grapefruit will make a number of Summer drinks. Squeeze the julce from two grapefruits and three oranges, add sugar and fill the pitcher with iced water or soda water, or peel two or three grapefruits, cut them up and pour over them about two pints of very hot water. Let cool before strain- ing. Sweeten to taste. de—This is a drink suitable for grown-ups or children. Boil one- third cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of water together for five minutes.

Countless women take especially good care of their faces— g and patting, using tissue foods, ete., to keep the firm, rounded coniour of youth. But sometimes these same women forget that hands reveal the tell- tale signs of age and neglect long be- fore the face does. As smooth, white and beautifully soft hands are possible to every aneuv;hc vfivfll give th;m the correct care, it is nob necessary for any woman to have hands which she wishes she might hide. One of the first rules in care of hands is never to wash them in hot water. This is too trying on the skin, so always use a_water which is cool or just tepid. The housewife, who is likely to wash her hands very frequently during the day, and thus is pretty sure to make the skin dry and .wrinkled, must make sure that she replenishes the natural oils with those which are artificial. ‘While too frequent washings should be guarded against, it is quite neces- sary that hands be washed immediately after any task which solls them very much. During these months the woman who loves to putter in her garden may find it more difficult to keep her hands soft and white. If she forms the habit of wearing heavy cotton or leather gloves when busy with these outdoor tasks, it will be a big help. The kind of soaps used in cleansing the hands is important. Most of the soaps in public dressing rooms are quite harsh, so the business woman will be glad to know that milder ones cary now be procured in handy tubes. These soaps are made with a cream base which is not only cleansing, but also has bleaching and nourishing proper- les. e:vhl!e the housewife may think that when it comes t» keepingshands white her problem is more difficult than that MENU FOR A DAY.

If it seems necessary to coat the hands thickly with the cream, draw on a pair of old loose gloves and wear these all night. It is pest to cut out the palms and slit the tips of the fingers on the under side to allow ventilation. Next morning, after removing the gloves, wash the hands in tepid water which has been softened by the addition of corn meal. . Vacation Time.

Whole pimento cups which may be bought in glass jars or tins are very helpful in preparing any number of good salads and luncheon dishes. They are about the size of rather small to- matoes—with the centers scooped out— and may be filled with various sorts of appetizing mixtures, and served on let- tuce leaves. For a delicious dinner salad that can be prepared at short no- tice, arrange these whole pimento cups on lettuce leaves. Have ready some finely chopped cabbage, moisten with mayonnaise. Fill the cups with the cabbage mixture and pass additional mayonnaise. A deliclous luncheon dish consists of these pimento cups on lettuce filled with a fish mayonnaise mixture. A mixture of cut-up cucumber and celery with mayonnaise may be used for the filling of the pimento cups. To make a good fish mixture for them from left- over fish pick over the cold cooked fish. For a cupful of it you will' need & cupful of finely diced celery. Add a teaspoon- ful of capers, cut up. Mix with a little mayonnaise and fill the pimento cups with the mixture. . Apple Jelly.
