Indeed you are not too old to start
educating yourself. One always
learns and studies if one is worth
while. You would do well to go to
the nearest Young Women's Chris
tian Association (find the address in
ithe telephone book) and find out
about free evening classes. There is
no need of your spending your salary
for private lessons.

New Traits After Marriage
By JANE M'LEAN.
A tired business man to me always
means a jaded type of individual who
goes to the lightest of musical com
edies and is amused fqr a brief space
of time, and who wears a perpetually
weary expression.
I never knew that Clyde was that'
kind of a man until he married. It's
strange how men develop these unde
sirable traits as soon as they feel that
they can be natural. It's like the re
version to the primitive that we read
about in sociology. Even I, and I
am rather hard to deceive, never sus
pected Clyde of stodgy qualities.
father used to say:
"Yes, 1 like Clyde: he's a good fel
low. Of course, I don't think he'll
ever amount to a great deal. i
And then it would be niv cue to
become indignant and to ask what
he meant. That was when I was
rather young. Clyde was paying.nie
a great deal of attention and bring
ing me a great deal of very good
candy.
I discovered that I didn t want
Clyde when he began to make love
and Clyde' went his way and I went
mine. Then I heard that Clyde was
to re married.
"Such a nice girl," people said,
"and so well suited to him." And I
just kept still, because I knew that
if she were suited to Clyde she would
have to be a different type of girl
from me.
And now Clyde is married
and the "nice girl" live in a

Perhaps she should be.
"Well, Clyde is married, and has a
nice girl, tather said the other even
ing at dinner.
"Yes, she makes him a good wife,"
mother agreed.
"Yes, it must be thrilling to live
with Clyde," I observed loftily. "Of
all the stagnant kinds of existence
commend me to a life of three meals
day with Clyde."
"Why, Anne." observed father,
slyly, "you're not jealous, are you?"

Economical
No matter what the vegetarians
may say, and no matter how earnest
ly we may be assured that meat is
unnecessary and that it is one of the
most expensive forms of food, we all
keep on eating it and, incidentally,
growling about the price, so maybe
we may find some consolation and
some profit in the consideration of the
capabilities of a ham.
It is a good plan to leave a ham
steeping in cold water for a few
hours before boiling, so as to make it
more delicate in flavor bv removing
some of the brine. Then put it down
in cold water and bring slowly to
the boil, keeping it simmering gently
until cooked; but be sure not to let
it cook too quickly, or it will be
tough and hard. If the cabbage is to
be cooked with the ham, the meat
should be put on thirty minutes
earner tnan otherwise and taken up
before the vegetable is added to the
water, because the water must be
boiling rapidly for the vegetable, and
that would spoil the ham. Keep it
boiling until the cabbage is cooked,
then drawo one side and put in the
meat again, to get quite hot.
A hvo and one-half inch thick
slice, which is to be broiled or baked,
should be treated as follows, and
served with caramel sauce:
Trim and wipe the slice of ham
with a damp cloth and put in a pan
with enough cold water to barely
cover it. Boil very gently for forty
minutes, then take out and stick five
or six cloves into the fat. Put into
a baking tin and dust very lightly
with pepper, and cover with two
tablespoonsful of flour mixed with
one-half a cup of brown sugar. Bake
in a very hot oven for thirty minutes,
adding a cup of cold water as soon
as it begins to brown and basting
once or twice. When quite tender,
take out, put in a border of mashed
potatoes and keep hot while making
the caramel sauce.
Caramel Sauce.
To the contents of the baking pan
add a cup of cold water, 1 table
spooful of vinegar, 1 tablespoonful
of flour blended with a little cold
water and 1 tablespoonful of cara
mel. Boil ail this together for about
three minutes and serve in a separate j
mwne.i.

pan with enough cold water to cover
it, together with one carrot and one
onion, clean and chopped, and six
peppercorn and one teaspooliful oi
mixed herbs, lied together in a bit of
cheesecloth. Simmer gently for two
and a half hours, when the ham
should be quite tender. Chop up one
shallot and fry in one-half ounce of
butter, not allowing it to get brown.
Pour this over the ham and cook for
another twenty-five minutes, then
take up, cut into fairly thick slices and
arrange around a dish, each slice
overlapping the other, and put in the
oven lo keep hot while preparing the
sausages to go with this dish
Creamed Ham and Hominy.
Fry the slice of ham and cut into
small neat dice. Leave the grease in

spoonful of cream and a little gravy
stock, stir and boil up, draw to one
side and add the ham, leaving it sim
mering gently until quite hot through.
Serve in a border of hominy prepared
by the following recipe.
Soak the hominy for twenty-four
hours ill cold water and cook either in
a double boiler, or preferably in a
tireless cooker, for twelve hours, then
when quite cooked, pile in a neat,
high rampart round the dish and dust
with cayenne pepper before pouring
in your creamed ham.
Ham Pastry.
Mince six ounces of cooked ham
and mix with one-half cup bread
crumbs and seasoning. Add enough
milk to make a stiff paste. Line a
greased dish with short pastry or with
mashed potatoes, put in the ham mix
ture and bake in a hot oven. Boil two
eggs hard, separate the yolks and
whites, chop separately and then
sprinkle the pie with them, putting
the yolks in the center and the whites
around the edge. Cover with a well
greased paper and put back in the
oven just to heat through and serve.
