6 - October 17, 19186. Today there is being given one of the jolliest picnics that you -ever knew about. It began at-11:30 o'clock this morning and lasted until late this afternoon. The Original Monday Bridge club members ars lovers of the out-of-doors. When they come back from their summer vacation trips in the east or the west, or at the lakes, they begin to meet every Mon- day for lunchéon together'and for bridge. Instead, however, of staying; in the house and feeling quite dull and stupid, they take their motors L i L g ing their brother, Mr. H. S. Clarke, jr., and Mrs, Clarke. The Columbian club will entertain ot its hall, Twenty-second and Locust streets, at 8 o'clock Thursday even- ing. The North Side Kensington club will meet with Mrs. Charles Coll, 3532 North Twenty-eighth street, Wednes- day afternoon at 2 o'clock. Miss Mary Furay wil entertain at bridge at her home Wednesday aft- ernoon, THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, ‘OCTOBER 18, 1916. | | Vegetable Cookery. The teym ‘“vegetable” in so many American homes means just potatoes, and, possibly beans,, corn, peas, car- rots and cauliflower. The whole host of nutritious and palatable vegetables such as turnips, cabbage, parsnips, eggplant, peets, oyster plant, squash, etc., are unknown as ordinary articles of diet. This condition is to be re- gretted, because “all vegetables are valuable foods, and the larger number we serve on our tables, the more varied will be our menus without call- e and whirl away to some delightful out-of-door spot where they may eat luncheon and play bridge in the open. So enthusiastic are these lovers of outdoors that they are only driven into the house when the frost grows biting and the weather too cold for comfort. Then | when the spring hrings warm days again they resume ¥heir Monday picnics until they sep- ardte for the summer. Todnr the Original Monday Bridge club will picnic at the State Fisheries, The affair is being given in-honor of Mrs. Henry Perkins of Grand Rapids, Mich,, who has motored over to spend a few days with Mrs. Arthur Remington. The fisheries is one of the club’s favarite picnic spots, Some- times they go' to Blair, sometimes to Kirkwood, the F. P.

It is difficult to speak of the food value of vegetables in general, be- cause different types have very dif- ferent amounts of the foodstuffs. Some vegetables, notably dried peas, beans and lentils, are sources of pro- tein, and may be the basis of dishes used as meat substitutes. Other veg- etables furnish fairly large amounts of carbohydrates, and thus dre fuel foods. The carbohydrates may be in ithe form of starch, as in the potato, or partly in the form of sugar, as in the carrot. The green vegetables, such as lettuce, ducumbers, green beans, etc., are very valuable for the mineral matter contained, and also for the cellulose, which acts as “rough- age” and aids in the elimination of the wastes from the digestive tract. Thus, by a judicious selection of veg- etables we can furnish the necessary foodstuffs to the body, except fat; and it is an almo#t universal practice to serve vegetables either with butter or with some sauce containing fat. The cooking problems with vege- tables are much the same as those discussed under potato cookery last week. The Mfiber ‘must be softened, the starch, if present, must be thor- oughly tooked; and the mineral mat- ter must be retained wherever possi- ble. Some vegetables may be baked, such_as squash, sweet potatoes, or tomatoes; and the baking process is very satisfactory from the ‘standpoint of flavor and digestibility; or the veg- etable may be steamed, an equally satisfdctory process, and applicable to more types of vegetables, With one type of vegetable we sac- rifice mineral #natter to flavor—that type is the strong-flavored vegetable. ifiustrated by the onion or cabbage. Mrs. Nickleby referred to as “the limbless wonder,” was the child of a Somersetshire farm laborer, She was born entirely without limbs, and from her birthawhich occurred in 1800, at- tracted great attention. Fortunately for the little Sarah, the vicar of the parish took a great interest in the afflicted child and as she showed un- usual intelligence, even when only 2 years old, taught her to read. Sarah could read and could ywrite by holding a pencil in her mouth when she was 3, and by the time she was 5 she was accustomed to write and read letters for the illiterate rus- tics™in the neighborhood. Her parents apprenticed, or rather sold, her for $25 a year to a showman) named Dukes for sixteen years when she was 12, and as her sole amusement wa$ drawing she had by that time obtained - considerable, but untaught, proficiency with her pencil. arkable Work She was practically starved by Dukes, who made a small fortune by exhibiting her and acted toward her like a scoundrel. . The earl of Mor- ton eventually was so struck with her ability that he had her apprenticeship cancelled and paid for her proper ed- ucation in art. In 1821 Miss Biffen won the gold medal of the Society of Arts, the committee that awarded this distinction being ignorant of the fact that she painted with her mouth. Then the duke_of Wellington com- missioned her te paint his miniature portrait, and in 1844 she received the royal command to paint the minia- tures of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Sad o relate, as she’advanced in life the poor little artist gradually lost control over the muscles of her neck and became unable to paint. She died at Liverpool in great poverty at the age of 66. e By ADA PATTERSON. On top of a high hill, set among the fir trees, and overlooking the Hudson, is the most beluti(ul country home in America. It is finer and statlier than the alaces of some of the European Eingx. It is set in a natural park of 2,500 acres. It cost $5,000,000. It is reached by an inclined plane. It has an artificial lake fed by springs from a neighboring mountain. It is well named Arden house, Judged by externals, this is an carthly paradise. It isja gift to a young man of 24 years from his mother. Well, strong, presumably with at least a score of years yet to live, her mind clear and reflective as the lake fed by mountain springs, she drafted the deed for this home to her son. No one can ever talk truth- fully of “Undue influence” or of “failing health,” or “Inability to di- | rect her affairs” in the case of this admirable, and . truly selfsufficient woman, the widow and executrix of a railroad kifig, When she said, in the deed, that the equivalentt which, the son rendered in the exchange of the family home was “love and consideration,” she meant it, That “love and consideration” were worth $5,000,000 to her. Doubtless she considered them cheap at the price. Probably this young man is one of the kind who pinches his mother's cheek ‘and calls her his best girl. When the roses of youth vanish be- hind the guz veil which the years spread over her cheeks, a woman doesn’t expect such lovemaking from any one save her son. From him it is thrice welcome. Doubtless he wrote love letters to | his mother, while he was at college. { Letter writing is becoming a lost art, The telephone and the night telegram | Reward of Son’s Love have supreseded it. 'Tis a rushing age and we live at a breathless pace. But there is one person to whom we must not forget to write letters, love let- ters. That is our mother. I warrant this young man never forgot. 1 doubt not he was such a son as the Wwoman told us about in the shop. She was white-haired and blue-eyed. Her soft cheeks were like withered roseleaves, her silk frock rustled in soft, little whispers of orosperity. Ons might have said she looked regal, if it were not for her smile, so like a happy child's. J r am going to Coney island. this afternoon with my son,” she said. “My son is taking me and I expect to have a good time.” He called to es- cort her home before they started to Coney island. He looked down tender- ly at her and she looked up worship- fully at him, YLike sweethearts,” said the girl whoehad sold her a pair of gloves. “As mother 'and son should be,” I answered. g The new master of Arden house is married. You may be sure he is not \the kind of son who keeps his wife and mother as far apart as he can, There is no need of that if both wife and mother are reasonable and consid- erate, He has not caused his/mother the “I've lost my boy” feeling, that void in her heart which often follows a son’s marriage. His “love and con- sideration” forbade that, I wish every young man between 17 and 25 might see that castle-like home on the Hudson. It is a monument ‘of a mother's aprreciation of the thoughtful love of her son. I wish that looking at that high castle each would think long about the “love and consideration” of a son for his mother and of how he can express it to his mother. too late.

Cify Please heaven that it be noti | Any strong-flavored vegetable should be placed in rapidly-boiling,. salted water, allowing @ largé quantity of water for.the amount of vegetables; the kettle is left uncovered, and -the vegetable is drained and rinsed with |cold water when it is done. This method of cooking produces a de- licious flavor in any strong vegetable. If a mild-flavored vegetable is stewed or boiled, the amount of water’should be only as much as can be served with the vegetable, or else the veg- ctable water should be saved and used as a basis for soups. " Whether the vegetable has been baked, boiled or steamed, the most ordinary way of serving is with salt, pepper, and butter. This method is really the most satisfactory, for the fine flavor of the vegetable is not masked by a highly flavored sauce. To a person with a nice sense of taste the natural flavor of each food is far to be preferred to any elaborate added flavor. However, a cream sauce masks the flavor but little, and adds decidedly to the food value when a vegetable is fhe main dish at a meal such-as lunch. A medium cream sauce is generally used (two #able- spoons_each butter and flour to one cup milk), and about half as much cream sauce as diced vegetable is al- lowed. A creamed vegetable may be placed in a baking dish, covered with buttered crumbs, and browned in a hot oven. Then we have an escal- loped vegetable. A little grated cheese is used with some escalloped veg- etables, notably cabbage or _cauli- flower. Escalloped corn is alternate layers of corn, crumbs and seasoning, with milk poured over the whole, and crumbs placed on top. Escalloped to- matoes i1s a dish like escalloped corn except that no liquid other than the tomato juice is required. Unusual Vegetable Recipes. Broiled Tomatoes. Wash and cut tomatoes in halves.
