abundance on hand and the happy fact that we are not in the war,

Tecipes of those other times. : ; In an old article, George Rector, noted gourmet, says “The food of the war period is characterized by just two things. First, dancing in dining rooms became popular. And secondly, the typical war foods which appeared on every table to conserve wheat and sugar for the boys at the front.” These samples are from Mr. Rector’s collection: Pea Soup aw : : 1 cup dried peas (either yellow, Scotch or green) 4 onion: 2% quarts water 2 tablespoons fat : Soak peas in cold water 10 to 12 hours. ‘Cook with onion until

soft. Rub through sieve. Make white sauce, using fat, cornstarch, seasoning and milk. Dilute to proper consistency with the water in

1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 cups milk 3 1 teaspoon salt 15 teaspoon paprika

which peas were cooked.

Peanut Loaf ; 1 cup soft breadcrumbs Pinch black pepper (toasted) 1 teaspoon poultry seasoncup peanut butter ing : -cup cooked rice. 1 tablespoon chopped par1 teaspoon salt sley Combine all ingredients end mix well. Bake in greased loaf pan in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for about 30 minutes. Unmold and serve hot with tomato sauce or ketchup.

CHILDREN

DEAR MRS. SMART: My reply may be of little use to you now, as your letter was late reaching me. However, I am answering it, because you may have other parties for the children, and besides, birthdays repeat themselves. : ; : Yes, you are right. Boys of 10 or thereabouts prefer a he-man party to the feathers and fuss of girl parties. Still, it is strange about boys. Often they pretend to despise the ribbons and flowers that go with a celebration, while secretly they get a big kick out of it. It all depends. The hot-dog idea is grand. Especially when you arrange. for the boys to attend to the roasting.

Ta

By OLIVE BARTON

I know of a boy and his sister who have birthdays three days

apart, and their mother usually combines the celebration. She seems to be very ingenious and -thinks up her own ideas. This year she rented two ponies from a track nearby, and saw to it that the guests had all the rides they wanted. It was a great success. ‘Another time, she had a “picnic in the winter,” for her third child’s birthday. She sat the guests down on a green linoleum rug, ‘used paper plates and napkins, served real picnic food and made it as outdoorish as possible. 8 ” ” ” ” »

ALL CHILDREN LOVE an Indian party. Indoors or outdoors, ‘Indian tepees appeal to kids. I could make a wigwam this minute if IT had some large pieces of cardboard, old floor oil-cloth, a little paint and some clothes props. Old matting rugs do splendidly. * In any case, I believe there is great possibility in reversing the seasons. In winter, the young guests may like to play croquet on a cleared place in the snow. In summer they might like a “white” party, with home-made bicycles, cotton snow, pine boughs and sleighbells, if you can find any today. Originality is the word. Make ‘many party just enough different from the usual thing to ‘delight the youngsters. ol Yours sincerely, OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I work in an office where there has been |

no trouhle for years. Into it the boss has imported a personal friend who has upset the whole place because he is an endless talker.

He never stops. He talks to people singly, together, and if nobody -

will listen, to himself. He has a high voice with a lot of bubbling laughter most annoying to hear, and it goes on forever. He resents criticism violently and promptly goes to the boss when anyone has the nerve to tell him he made a mistake. He has the ear of the boss - as has been demonstrated, and nobody wishes to repeat this sad

experience, :

The office is a public one and it is indiscreet, to say the least, !

for the force to be forever talking about things not connected with ‘their work. They all find it difficult to concentraté. Nobody has ‘anything against this man except that dreadful, incessant talking. He can work well when he tries and he often does. He is so inconsiderate that he carries on long conversations with others in front of important outsiders on subjects of trivial interest while they sit trying to type, file or write. We have all had experience with bores, but not with this kind. ‘What's to do about this? ’ CLERK.

Answer—Why worry about a man who is so infinitely capable of hanging himself? He can talk himself out of a job just as readily as he talked himself into one. All that a capable staff has to do is to keep its mouth shut and wait for the crash to come. I've seen it ' happen over and over again. There always is resentment on the part of a staff when the boss brings in .a personal friend. It is a %tough spot for any man, and apparently this one has tried to talk himself into your good graces. He has relied too heavily on what he fondly fancies to be his personal charm when he would have done better to let his capabilities speak ior themselves. : I consider your fear of the boss’ disapproval to be rather childish, born of your jealousy of the impudent newcomer. You assume that because the chatterbox is a friend he is also a favorite, and that the rest of you will be condemned for doing your work instead of ‘talking to him. This is nonsense and simply a hangover from attitudes you held in childhood toward papa’s favorite or teacher’s pet, '‘® Your -employer will defend his choiée as long as he can. He will give his friend every chance to succeed. He will resent petty criticism, tale-bearing, and passing the buck. But facts are facts and cannot remain hidden forever. Sooner or later the weak link in ‘w an office gives down. Sooner or later the disrupting influence must : go. Already your employer may deplore this constant flow of chatter. He may recognize, as you do, that the man has ability when he ‘chooses to use it. Imagine his embarrassment when he finds that either he must discipline a touchy friend or fire him! It isn’t easy. ¢ He will appreciate a firm, helpful attitude on your part more than you think. You can excuse yourself from these verbal attacks by politely saying that you must get on with your work. Your } rabbity attitude of currying favor with the boss by listening to his ! « garrulous friend is uncalled for. Be firm and business-like and let the chips: fall where they may. That's the way, and the only way, to win the respect of your employer. JANE JORDAN,

‘most: charming in many a Season, the tots will like the slight tinge of sophistication that appears in most of them. Blues, pale greens, yellow, shell pink and white still are the favorite colors. Organdy, dotted Swiss, crepe de chine, sheerest voile and finest lawn are the favorite fabrics. Hand tucking, shirring, fine pleating and ruffling are distinctive finishing touches.

seven of eight-year-old has a gored skirt with the bodice, including sleeves, covered with alternating

. {tucks and ruffles. Small, covered hut-

tons march down the front in a

‘I straight line.

A dotted Swiss model—white dots on :& pale blue background—nas tucked collar and cuffs and inset bodice panel, each finished with delicate blue piping to match the piping on the gores of the skirt. This, too, is handmade. In a less elaborate category is a sweet pastel plaid coat dress of tissue taffeta. It’s a copy of a coat dress for a grownup, cut on princess lines with swirling hemline, long sleeves and slightly bloused, rather full bodice. ok Two-piece effects for school and play are becoming to children of all sizes. Amply cut, tuck-in shirts often are attached to matching shorts

over which a button-down-the- -

front skirt is worn. When not attached to shorts, blouses of this type are long enough to stay inside the top of the skirt.
