Good Things for the Table Offerings of the Market Household Hints
Fine Luscious Home Grown
Strawberries on the Market
Ah, at last they're here. Real straw
berries, we mean. Not those near
strawberries, torn away, alas, at too
green an age from their homes in
the fields of Florida, Alabama, Arkan
sas and Missouri.
These are real strawberries raised
right here in Nebraska and they are
right "there" with the flavor. Um-ral
Big and tender they are, too. They're
- so plentiful that' the price is low. The
strawberry plants haven't produced
such fine crop in many a year. Now
it the time to eat 'em. Eat while the
-ting is good.
,. Other fruits are crowding into the
market The vanguard of the peach
crop is here in some of the stores.
The fruit is not at the height of its
goodness, but it's peaches, anyway.
Apricots are getting rather plenti
ful and bigger than the early ones of
week? qr two ago-
Plums are on hand, too. And our
eld friends, the canteloupes, are on
band in goodly numbers. They come
in from 'way down south, where the
fields, of cotton grow.
You can make gooseberry pies
with- gooseberries from California
that are just as nice as those you'll
get from Nebraska bushes a couple
of months 1 ence. The gooseberry,
being used in it, green, state, is just
at good when it comes from Califor
nia as when it i; plucked here at
home.
There are som fine mulberries and
raspberries on hand, too. Big black
and white ox-heart cherries are here
in plenty.
Vegetables? Vhy, you can get al
most everything. Nearly everything
is growing right here at home and
comes in . from the truck gardens
fresh every day.
Tomatoes can't be secured from
the home soil yet In fact, just now
they are rather scarce. The Texas
crop is about ready to pour in upon
us, and within a tew days tomatoes
will be plcntifu and remain so the
rest of the summer.
Luncheon for the Bride-To-Be
So many little luncheons are being
given for the favored girl who is soon
to be a bride that some of the readers
may welcome the following tempting
menu, especially prepared for such an.
occasion. This menn would be equally
serviceable for the hostess not having
the honor of entertaining a bridal
party:
'' MENU.
Cnanf of Asparagus Roup.
Olives. Radlahee. Bread Sticks.
Broiled Breasts ef Chicken.
Creamed Freeh Mushrooms.
' Buttered New Potatoes.
Hawaiian Salad. Rolls.
Prosen atrawbarrles.'
: Chocolate With Whipped Cream.
The supplies necessary to provide
this menu for a luncheon party of
twelve would be as follows:
S ohlokena averaeine I4 pounds .each.
I pounds fresh mushrooms.
1 He bottle of olives,
peck of new potatoes.
S heads lettuce.
I pats loo cream eheese.
1 can Hawaiian plnaapple.
I boxes of strawberries.
U dosen efts-
S bunches asparagus.
1 quart of bsavr cream.
Cakes, suts. bonbons.
Since only the chicken breasts are
used in the menu the remaining parts
of the chicken may be saved for fu
ture use. The meat can be made into
tasty casserole dish, while the bones
and trimmings may be used in mak
ing a broth or soup.
The salad is made as follows: Place
on heart leaves of lettuce a piece of
Hawaiian pineapple, . and .. over it
cream cheese, well seasoned, and
" forced through a potato masher. Over
all, pour dressing made of one-half
a cup of olive- oil, the -juice of half
.a lemon, one and one-half teaspoon
fuls of salt, one-quarter te'aspoonful
of pepper, one-half - teastroonfuP of
; paprika, and one-half cup of cream,
t beaten until stiffs i . u. or
The froren strawberries, make a
most delectable dessert. To prepare
them, wash, mash, and sweeten to
taste. Placeitva freezer with the un
beaten whites of six eggs and freeze.
Serve in glasses? garnish with" 'whip
ped cream, and whole strawberries.
.' The details of laying the table
should be as follows: The service
plate at the center of each cover
should contain a napkin of generous
size folded square with an edge paral
lel with the table edge. At the left
of the plate would be first the meat
fork, then the salad fork. Individ-
ual dishes for salt and pepper should
be placed above the two forks. An
individual dish for salted nuts may be
placed above the plate.
";: At the right of the plate would be
' placed first the knife and outside of
this the. bonllon spoon. Above the
' knife and spoon may be two glasses,
one for water and one for apollinaris
or charged water. Attractive decora
tion would be a bowl of pink and
wiiite sweet- peas - with asparagus
vines trailing over the sides.

.The asparagus soup would be ser
ved in cups, and placed after guests
are sated. The chicken breast broil
ed may be served on a platter, around
a mound of creamed mushrooms. If
served this way, the service plate and
boullon cup would be replaced by a
hot plate. One waitress could pass
the chicken, and another follow with
the potatoes.
The salad, served on individual
plates, may replace the meat plate.
After the salad plate is removed, the
table is cleared of all save bonbons,
salted nuts and water glasses. It is
crumbed and made ready for the des
sert, which is served in glasses which
rest on doily-covered plates, a spoon
resting on the plate. Cakes, candies,
and nuts are passed. Chocolate is
then served, and at the end finger
bowls, filled with tepid water sprinkl
ed with rose petals. Laura Leonard

SOMETHING TO EAT TODAY
Chicken Eh Casserole.
Purchase a chicken about 1-year-old;
dress as for baking, place In
casserole. Place around this one
good sized cup of finely chopped car
rots, a small chopped turnip, about
three small onions cut up small, two
bay leaves, and two or three pieces
of celery. Pour in about three cups
of hot stock. Place cover and put
in hot oven for an hour and a half.
Baste frequently and after in the oven
for half hour season with salt and
pepper. When. done, sufficient liquor
will remain to make rich brown
grayy. ,
Flaked Pineapples; I
In' tropical countries pineapple is
generally served in the half shell, an
easy way of handling the fruit Cut
off the top, split the pine in half
lengthwise and cut out the hard cen
ter core. Then with a silver fork
shred out the fiber, leaving the trou
blesome little eyes in the half skin,
the fiber can then- be sweetened,
mixed with grated cocoanut, or flav
ored with grape juice to taste and re
turned to the half shells for serving.
Delicacies In Cherry Season
Baked Cherry Dumpling.
Sift together one pint of flour, one
half teaspoonful salt and one tea
spoonful baking powder. Rub in one
tabletpoonful shortening. Add sweet
milk enough tovmake a soft dough.
Roll out one-half inch thick, cut into
four-inch squares. Fill each square
with as many cherries as it will con
tain and sprinkle generously with
sugar. Fold the edges of the dump
lings over and place them in a floured
pan. Bake one-half hour and serve
with hard sauce, or with cream and
sugar.
Cherry Bread Pudding.
Butter slices of bread and place
them in a pudding dish :n layers with
stewed cherries between. Bake for a
half hour and before taking from
the oven put over the top beaten
whites of two eggs. Brown slightly
and serve. Let stand one-half hour
and serve with plain custard sauce.
- Delicious Cherry Pie.
Wash and seed a quart f cherries
Line a deep pie-plate with rich pastry.
Pour into the bottom of the pie one
well-beaten egg. Over this sprinkle
one-half cupful of granulated sugar
and two tablespoonsful of flour which
have been sifted together. Spread the
cherries in evenly and pour over the
top another half cupful of sugar. Cov
er with a top crust and bake in a
moderate oven. The combination of
flour and egg in this recipe prevents,
in a great measure, the juice running
out as it usually does when pies are
made in th i ordinary way. The flavor
of the pie will also be greatly im
proved. Cherry Vinegar.
There are few drinks more refresh
ing than that made from half an inch
of cherry vinegar in the bottom of a
tumbler into which ice water is
poured and stirred until the glass is
full. To prepare this vinegar cover
any sour red cherries with good cider
vinegar in a wooden or earthen vessel.
Bruise and stir at intervals for four
days. To every pint of strained juice
add one pound of sugar. Boil fifteen
minutes; skim. Keep in well-corked
bottles.
' Cherry Roly-Poly.
Sift together two cupfuls of flour,
three tcaspoonfuls baking powder and
one-half teaspoonful talt, rub in three
tablespoonfuls butter or other pre
ferred shortening. Mix to a stiff
paste with one cupful milk. Roll out
to the thickness of one-fourth inch.
Have one pint of cherries stoned and
well drained. Sprinkle over the sur
face of the crust and dredge lightly
with flour. Roll up like a jelly roll
and place in a scalded and floured
cloth. Steam for one and one-half
hours. Then remove the pudding to
a hot dish, and serve with the follow
ing sauce: Blend one tablespoonful of
butter with one tablespoonful of corn
starch, then add three-fourths cupful
cherry juice, one-fourth cupful of boil
ing water, two tablespoonfuls sugar
and a tiny dash of nutmeg. Stir and
boil for five minutes.
Cherry Salad.
Wine cherries, remove stem and
stones and fill cavities with filbert nut
meats. Arrange in nesta of lettuce
leaves and garnish each nest with
tLree selected cherries,- from which
neither stems nor stones have been
removed. Serve with cream mayon
naise. Frosted Cherries.
Cook one cupful of granulated
sugar, one tablespoonful corn syrup,
and one-half cupful cold water to
gether until the mixture will form a
soft ball in water. Pour into a bowl
which has been moistened slightly
with cold water. When partly cold,

Summer Salads
The moat generally satisfactory
dressing for a green salad is what is
called a French dressing, made of salt,
white pepper, oil and vinegar, the pro-
portions of oil and vinegar being three
parts oil to one of vinegar. This can
be viried ly using tarragon vinegar,
or mixing a little dry mustard in the
dressing, or the crushed yellow of a
hard boiled egg. This dressing should
be made at the table, just before serv
ing the salad, which should be in a
sufficiently large bowl to allow of
tossing and turning.
Salads in which vegetables, cold
meat, fish, etc, are introduced should
he dressed some time before serving
and left to what is c.-.lled "marinate
in the dressing until it is partly ab
sorbed. Heavier dressings, like mayonnaise
or sauce tartare, are generally used
with salads of this sort at the moment
of serving, although the flavor of the
salad will be improved if it has been
previously "marinated" in the French
dressing.
Mayonnaise.
Have all the ingredients very cold;
chill the soup dish in which you make
the dressing and work in a cool place.
Put a raw egg yolk in dish, add one
third teaspoon of salt, white or dash
of cayenne pepper, work well to
gether and then add, drop by drop,
olive oil, stirring rapidly and steadily
until the mixture is thick. During this
firocess a few diops of vinegar or
emon juice should be stirred into the
mixture.
If you wish to soften the oil flavor,
add a little whipped cream to this at
the end of the operation. This is espe
cially recommended if yor wish to use
the dressing for a rich salad.
Egg and Potato Salad.
Cut cold boiled potatoes into half
inch alices and these slices into cubes,
enough to make two cupfuls. Slice
three hard boiled eggs and add to this.
Cut up center of onion, with a little
chopped cucumber pickle and parsley,
sprinkle over this. Use French, dresar
ing and serve on crisp lettuce leaves.
