Commonplace
Vegetables for
Good Salad
There are a number of common
place vegetables that with clever
manipulation can be made unusually
tasty.
Cabbage Salad.
Make a dressing; of two table-
spoonsful of butter, a tablespoonful
of flour, a teaspoonful of salt, two
tablcspoonsful of sugar, a teaspoon
ful of mustard, one egg, one cup of
sweet milk or cream, one cup of vine
gar; mix thoroughly.
Cook in salted water until tender a
small head of cabbage and chop it
very fine. Drain, add the dressing
and cook for five minutes.
Potato Salad.
Mix and boil together four table-
poonsful of butter, eight table-
spoonsful of sugar, one tablespoonful
of flour, one tablespoonful of salt.
one teaspoonful of mustard, one cup
of sweet milk or one-half cream and
one-half milk, one-half cup of cider
vinegar, three beaten eggs.
Boil for five minutes, then add four
large cold boiled potatoes, cut up
small.
Boil all together for three minutes
at the back of the stove, then take
from the fire and set aside until very
cold. Put into a cold bowl and
garnish with slices of hard boiled
eggs. . ' '
Green Pepper Salad.
Green nepoers may be made en
tirely wholesome and digestible if
they are parboiled before being used
for salad. They should be chilled
after they are taken from the boiling
water and left on the ice until need
ed. The green will not be so bril
liant as that of the fresh peppers, but
they will be very much more whole
some. If endives are scalded and
then chilled before using for salad
is said that they are very much
more wholesome than when eaten
raw.

Good Usage and
Meaning of
Words
Just at present the word party
passes in good usage for anything
from the hospitality you offer one
or two friends in a cooling glass of
lemonade or a cup of tea when you
invite them to pass an afternoon
hour with you to all the complex
and elaborate formality of an in.
auguration ball or the wedding re'
ception that takes place when an
American millionaire's daughter
marries a European nobleman. The
word may lose caste through being
overworked, just as lots of other
once acceptable words have done be
fore it, .but if you want to be on
the safe side now use this word
rather than such words as "affair,'
"function," "gathering" or entertain
ment."
If you have attended a large
dance and wish, on leaving your
hostess, to express your apprecia.
tion for the pleasure you have had
don t tell her that it was an en
joyable affair" or that you have en
joyed her "ball" immensely. Say
rather that you have had a charm
ing time at her party.
And speaking of this very useful
word party," it is not out of place
to mention another use of this word
that is in rather ill repute. That is
the use of party when we mean
simply a person. Those who choose
their words carefully avoid this use.
Sometimes when a young woman
wants to refer to a friend and does
not want to indicate the sex of the
friend she uses this word, as for in
stance, "I had dinner last night with
a party from New York," or "I am
sorry that I can't come, but I am
expecting a caller." How much
better to have said, "I had dinner
last flight with a man from New
York," or "an acquaintance of mine
has asked to call."
Standards of
Living
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
f rom whom do you get your
' ndard of living? Do you do the
i ungs you imagint the neighbors
expect of you? Do you try to run
your life in accordance with the
methods practiced by some one you
know? Do you ape some one a little
higher in the scale of society than
you are? Or do you figure out
where you stand today, where you
want to be a year from now, and
how you'll have to arrange matters
to reach your fioals.'
I know two men who have run
their lives irt exactly opposite fash'
ions.
Loren Is a man whose pay has
been high for several years. Every
time he sot a raise, he changed hi
method of living to keep pace or
jump a step in advance ot his in
creasing fortunes. He advanced
from boarding house to a single
room in a small apartment hotel,
, Then came two rooms in a bigger
hotel. Then a suite of rooms and
a rar. A little shack in the country.
I Loren was popular. There is no
question of that. He had a host
of friends come to his parties and
to invite him to theirs. He had
i good time and everyone he knew
was delighted to share it with him
and folks were glad to contribute to
it. for that matter.
Then came a slump in fortunes.
Loren is back in a boarding house,
and he avoids the friends who might
stand by him if he gave them a
chance. His firm has become con
vinced that he's not shrewd enough
because he never saved. They see
he'll never have anything to invest
in their company. They can't feel
that he is important enough to keep
on these days when so many firms
are paring expenses carefully.
On the other hand, there's An
drew. He has lived simply for years
saving a part of his salary and per
mitting his friends to do things their
way, while he did them in the fash
ion he felt he could afford. He never
has been in any way influenced by
what other folk did. He has held
grimly to a standard he set for him
self.
A few years ago Andrew went into
business. He allowed himself but
little money, putting back into the
business all he could possibly man
age to scrape tosether from his prof
its. He hasn t indulged himself in
half the things permitted themselves
by men with half his earning capac
ity. His only generosities have been
to the folks he cares for. And he
has undoubtedly paid for his gener
osity by stinting himself to make up
for it.
Now that times aren t any too pros
perous, Andrew's used to simple liv
ing. He hasn t ay expensive habits
to break. People are used to him
and to the fact that he does what he
thinks right and not what they tell
him "every one's doing." And he's
on the high road to success.
It seems simple and obvious,
doesn't it? But which are you a
Loren or an Andrew?
A Recent Bride
Will Be Liberty
,
Cleaning Cupboard
Aids the Maid
Mrs. Mable Reed, who will take
the part of Liberty in the pageant,
"Nebraska," to be given November
10 at the Brandeis by the pupils of
the Omaha public schools, is an
actress of unusual ability. The pub
1: schools are fortunate in number
ing among their corps of teachers
a woman who has played with Min
nie Madden Fisk, Francis Wilson,
Robert Edson and others of note.
The role of Liberty calls for one of
the few spoken parts in the pageant,
and the only adult part The dignity
of the lines demands a speaking voice
of unusual beauty and an exceptional
stage presence, both of which the
committe in charge of the pasreant
feel that Mrs. Reed possesses.
A cleaning cupboard?
By all means. In some of the
new houses a cleaning cupboard is
as much' a matter of course as is a
sun room or a bath at least for every
two sleeping rooms.
In other words, a cleaning cup
board is one of the little luxuries,
the little conveniences that go to
make the modern house a palace un
dreamed of by Louis XIV., who rev
elled in his power and luxury at
Versailles in its greatest days. What
would he and his courtiers have said
when they sat at a banquet in a
huge salon heated only by open fires
and jokingly chipped the ice that
filmed across their wine glasses be
tween sips what would they have
said at the comfort of a modern
heated house? What would Dc
Maintenon. sitting shivering in her
chair, .made especially with a frame
work of curtains around it to pro
tect her from the draughts of the
badly ventilated palace, have said at
the comfort of a modern sun parlor?
What would the cooks in the royal
kitchens, swearing and sweating over
their spits and cranes, have said at
sight of a modern electric cooking
stove? And what would the slavish
servants who tried to keep the palace
clean have said at a modern clean
ing closet?
Well, what would they have saidr
Imagine for yourself. And the
next time vou need a book ot
memories just visualize for yourself
the immeasurably greater comfort
that most of us have nowadays than
even kings and their courtiers had
in days gone by.
Why just the other day a six-room
house was advertised for sale a ser-
vantless house, it was boasted en
tirely equipped for easy work with
.every sort of electrical and other
labor saving appliance appliances in
themselves that would represent the
work of three or four servants m
houses a century ago.
The cleaning closet, of course, is
not a luxury every one can possess.
But it is really a means of making
life for mistress, maid and cleaning
woman easier. It should, ideally, be
equipped with a window letting in
sun, which is the best means of
purifying and drying cleaning
cloths. It should, of course, be
equipped with a low sink at which
pails may be filled and emptied
without the necessity of lifting them
high to the level of the ordinary
sink. It should be equipped with a
rack for spreading cloths on to 'lry
and with shelves for holding ' all
sorts of cleaning agents, and a
book on cleaning or else printed or
typed lists of remedies for removing
spots, stains and tarnish from wood
and metal, glass, floors, carpets, plas
ter, paint and wall paper.
Oatmeal Scones
To one cupful of cooked oatmeal
add one cupful of milk and stir un
til well mixed. Then add a pinch
of salt, two teaspoonfuls of sugar,
one tablespoonful of melted butter
and one cupful of flour, mixed with
two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking
powder. Next stir in enough flour
to make a soft dough, roll out an inch
thick, cut in rounds or triangles and
bake on a hot greased griddle. Serve
with butter and orange marmalade.

the home caterer is wags earner si

and economical standpoint, but so
that they may be prepared in aa short

It is here that a good delicatessen
steps in, and although it is not

terially in the preliminary tnoking
and leave the housekeeper free tu
add the home touches that make it

Of course, the price of the rooked
meats are much higher than if bought
and rooked at home, but the fuel
