There is no situation in life so bad that it cannot be retrieved.—Dickens. Simple Good Things. A simple dessert which is easy to prepare and wholesome for the children is: - ■ ' . ' . , ‘ Rice With Prunes and Bananas. Take well-cooked rice, mold in small cups or molds and around each place alternate pieces of cooked prunes and sliced bananas. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and cover with whipped cream. The addition of a bit of lemon Juice with a bit of the grated rind of the fruit itself Is rather flavorless. Rice Is also very nice served with fig sauce- Take one cupful of figs, stew in two cupfuls of water and a ■ tablespoonful of sugar until they are very tender, add a teaspoonful of lemon Juice and serve a tablespoonful of the sauce with each helping of the rice. — Cabbage Salad De Luxe. Shred tender crisp cabbage very fine; add shredded coconut and shredded blanched almonds. Add a mayonnaise to which has been added plenty of whipped cream. Garnish the salad with slivers of fresh green pepper. Take the tender tops of sprouted turnips, dress with French dressing and serve asa salad. This will be something new and vkry good. One may spread the turnips out near the light, a bushel or so, and the tops may be cut from time to time, keeping a fresh green salad at hand.
