Vegetables in ' Winter ' BLUE BOOK mm nil nm.iniiwiiiiii!iit! mm at uimr mm i i i By LORETTA C-LYNCH An Acknowledged Expert in All Matters Pertaining to House- hold Management. Too many people cut down on their use of vegetables just as soon r as the colder days come alone Oh yes. they continue to have potatoes and occasionally another vegetable ' but in general a liberal use of vege tables is not planned for in the diet. All the great minds working ,on the problem of food agree that1 a liberal use of vegetables in the diet at all times is not only desirable, but really essential if good health is to be maintained. v "But," say you, "iny family do not like vegetables." It is better to say .that the family have' not learned o like as many vegetables " as they are going to like in the near future. We have to be1 trained to like that which is good and best for us. 4 This is not only true of articled of diet, but it is true of many ottier , habits of life. A man or woman must be trained to like to - bathe. People tnust be trained to care for the teeth ana hair and all the other essentials of the well-kept body. - Fcwj ike olives the first time they taste them. Yet, by persistence, these same folks become devotees of the olive. So, it must be with all the available vegetables. Of course, the housewife's prob lem of serving vegetables in winter - is more difficult than in summer. But it is a problem quite worthy of our best thought. Vegetables, like fruits, help to keep the blood riht. They help to keep the body working right. And since each vegetable of fers the body some mineral salt that it particularly needs for correct func tioning, the necessity of a wide va riety of vegetables in the diet is ob vious. ' i In only limited areas of ourcoun try are fresh vegetables available throughout the winter. But in every vicinity, the housewife can procure the dry or canned vegetables. Of the dry vegetables most of us are acquainted with beans, peas and a few others. But we should know that tlfere are vegetables termed de hydrated. This simply means that the water has been removed and can be restored by soaking. Of the de hydrated vegetables, perhaps the more familiar are corn, carrots, spin ach, celery, beets. But theieis a wide variety of them. And it will repay the housewife to ask the best growr in the neighborhood about them. ' i r ' Holiday Candy Making. Plain Sugar Fondant Formica: Two cups of sugar, one-half cup of glucose" or any white ", svrup. one-half cup of water. Put lhee ingredients all together in a handled alminum saucepan that will hold about five cwpv Stir over a slow fire "until sure that the sugar is completely dissolved, which which should be before the mixture . boils. V Warm up your candy thermome ter in warm and then hot water, and fasten it on to the side of the pan by title slide. Cook i slowly until the V-?hcrmometer registers 2j8 degrees. I Pour into warm buMered platter and allow to cool until lukewarm. Unless' overcooked, even if spread -quite thin, the edg.es should not stif len, but it is well to watch the cooked syrup, Cooling and turn in the . edges if they cool too rapidly. In pouring the sugar from the sauce pan it is well to hold back the last few and cooled drops. Before pour ing it out it is also best to let it , stand until the cooking bubbles sub side. When it is lukewarm begin to work it back and forth with a spatula. At first it will be like shiny taffy. It is necessary to work it patiently until it creams and then i until white. After this it mav be kneaded into a compact ball with the By CORRINE 1,0 WE. New Y o r k A (Special Corjre Nspondence.) We had thought the far thingale was getting very, very far. Yet, according to Poiret, it is still the "ncar thingale. For many of his winter modes "J stress the wide- dipped skirties of tlie latnrceniury spanisn modes. v And '-one oi our most prominent au thorities on fashion stepped pfl the ricm.il uoai a -jew weeks ago in a Pbi-1 ret frock with skirt measuring mice yards in width, most of which was bunched at the hips. - The above shows a 'navv frirntim trock, indicating that; fp we are still, in' spite gp ot all Uiese strargnr up and down models, goinewhat ' h i p n 6 tized. The hip. full ness of .this skirt follows a wing mo tif and is held out xvtth braid in'red or ange, green and blue. These colors echo the embroidery of the black satin vestee and (of " the cUffs on the fash- ionable seVn eighths length sleeves. ' The Release From Monotony." The home that is held strictly to schedule for hours of rising and eat ing, and to the rigid carrying out of detailed plan for keep'ng the home machinery smooth running aid im maculate, may still be lacking in something of .vtn greater impor tance. Unless the woman who pre sides over the home retains an eager and cheerful Attitude toward the spiritual possibilities o5 her work tne home loses the most precious element of her service: And when she- is the slave of system she cannot. hha be a free spirit responsive to the waves of joy and spontanictv that sweeten the atmosphere' of 'home Sometimes she would be happier, and her house not noticeably less well managed, if she would iet the usual three meals a day be usual ones Not unusual in thes sense of being more elaborate,-but, perhaps, the whole family might go to breakfat at the little restaurant around the corner from home. Or, while at breakfast in the home, plans might be made for the family, to meet at a downtown restaurant for an early dinner, wkh a visit to the movies afterward The spirit of comradeship , is renewed whenever the family as a vliole sroes out for even the 'simplest amusements, if it be no more than a car ride or a half hour of "window shopping." Sometimes the close application of the mother td Iict housework and cf the father tcTliis business is per mitted to intereire with this impor ts irt and delighitul practice of all the family settling out together 6n iome pleasant little lark.
