VEGETABLES THAT GO WITH
MEATS.
There aro reasons for tho various
combinations of vegetables with
mcatB as to flavor and with frulta,'
acidity as well as flavor.
Red moats seom to call for white
vegetables. Potatoes, onions, stewed
celery with steaks and roasts.
Frlcassood chicken with rlco Is a
time-honored dish, and young onions'
go well also with chicken and pork,
whon roasted.
Poas with lamb, asparagus with mut
ton, and ovon with boof it la not to bo
overlooked.
Without having a practical knowledge-
of tho composition of food sub
stances, wo will all by somo Instinct
comblno foods, as for examplo, who
thinks of corn boef without cabbage,
or roast pork without apple Bauco.
Tho vogetablo acids nro rpqulrcd to
neutralize tho natural oils. For theso'
and other reasons wo llko mint snuco
with lamb, orango salad with duck,
and so on.
Cauliflower, brusscls sprouts and
cabbago aro all of tho samo family,'
and each goes well with steaks, chops
or ham.
Orcen corn nnd young chicken, In
fact, any kind of meat will bo on-'
Joyed with tho king of vegetables.
Tho tomato 1b ono of our most cos
mopolitan vegetables. It goes well
anywhoro, as docs tho succulent cu
cumber. Cucumber with fish seems
to bo a favorlto combination, and ns
fish Is rathor hard to associate with
it is not so often propared as it do
sorves. Tho pleboan potato Is omni
present and always welcome Maca
roni la a good nccompanlmont to fish
and will comblno most acceptably
with It In an escalloped dish.
Greon vegetables nro necessary for
tho wollfaro of our department of tho
Interior, and should bo found on our
tables tho year round, whon possible.
Froah lettuce is now a dally commod
ity in our markets, and with a French
dressing is a most wholosomo salad.
String beans and spinach go well
with veal in tho dlgostlvo harmony.
Rico, beans and starchy foods
should bo accompanied with Swiss
chard, buttered beets, or beet greens
and servo with lemon or vinegnr.
Hominy or corn brend accompanies
a roast of tenderloin pork, or tho
highly-prized piglet.
Thoro Is no arbitrary rulo which is
so Iron-clad that ono may not occa-!
slonnlly stray from tho path of com
mon usage in tho serving of vogota- I
bles.
Ileal knowledge, llko everything elso of
vnlue, Is not to bo obtained easily. It
must bo worked for, studied for, thought
for, and moro than nil, prayed for.
Thomas Arnold.
EASY HALF-HOUR DISHES.
For tho busy woman who has much
to do, it Is n wise plan to havo a list
of reclpos that may bo quickly pre
pared on Bhort notice
Soups of various kinds which como
in cans will, of courso, bo quickly
served. Hut creamed soups, of po
tatoes, onions, carrots, asparagus and
in fnct almost any vogetablo, can bo
propared ltnd aorvod in half an hour,
if the vcgotablu 1b finely cut boforo
cooking.
Many kinds of fish, besides tho fried
vnrioty, aro easily cookod in hnlf an
hour.
Escallopod dishes, from cold flsh
or other foods, nro ready to servo as
soon ns they aro thoroughly hot.
A glnnco at tho list of quick dishes
will toll you If you havo tho materi
als at hand, and tho regret will bo
saved that you might havo had this
or that lr "I had only thought." In
tho hurry of a quick mcnl getting
ono's momory is often faulty and not
to bo rolled upon.
Tomato toast Is a delicious quick
lunch dish. Omelets of various and
sundry kinds aro always popular, and
if you havo a llttlo cold meat which,
with a hot snuco llko tho Mexican or
Spanish, will servo as a good main
dish.
Oyster stow la a slmplo dlBh and

Elaborate and Beautiful Evening Gown
MW&m
THE Oriental influenco is distinct
enough in this elaborato evening
gown, in which ono thin fabric after
another is draped over the silk foun
dation. Thoro is first a skirt of silk
voilod with chiffon. Six narrow
ruffles aro also veiled with chiffon with
a border or tuck of this fabric ex
tending below each ruffle.
Over thlB skirt a tunic of laco la
worn, extending almoBt to tho knees.
Ono would think thie qulto enough In
tho way of draping, but over this a
drapery of gorgeously embroidered
chiffon is gathered llko a socond tunic.
By way of further elaboration a
wreath of scattered chiffon roses on
a fuzzy stem extends from the bust to
tho hem of tho embroidered chiffon.

finishes the corsage.
Tho draped shoulder and opening nt
tho neck are finished with a f)ne laco
edging. Thoro is a narrow crushed
glrdlo of chiffon.
Tho natural lines of tho flguro aro

There iBn't anything thinner than nets

An underblouso with sloovo caps,

drapery. It is modest, but is meant
to bo conspicuous. It is original and
sticks to beautiful lines, so that there
is no straining after novel effect at
tho expense of taste.
Tho headdress is in keeping with
the character of the gown. It is mado
of rhinestones and a magnificent Bpray

Altogether tho gown, coiffure, and
hair ornament suit this typo incom
parably well, so that the ensemble is
full of fascination. Ono could hardly

NORTH CAROLINA GOOD ROADS

(Dy X. BUCKNnit.)
Throughout tho mountain region of

sweep aside objections to expendi

the case In all progressive movements
of groat moment. Tho movement had
its inception in Ashevlllo, North Caro

this beautiful mountain country by
reason of lack of good roads which
mado it impossible for not only tho
pooplo of this section, but tho tourists
and visitors from going from ono
point to another.
Immediately after the organization
of this association, it raised $5,000
by subscription nnd regraded and
macadamized tho road from Ashovlllo
to Blltmore, a dlstanco of a little
more than two miles. This one piece
