Banana Salad. -Peel ripe bananas, split them lengthwise, roll the halves in peanuts Which have been chopped or put through the meat grinder, place on white lettuce leaves and serve with a stiff' mayonnaise (made with lemon rather than vinegar). Balls of cottage or cream cheese may be add- ed if desired. Fruit Salad. -Bananas combine with any of the fruits ordinarily used for salad -pineapple, grapes,, oranges, apples, berries -and "go" equally well with either a mayonnaise, a sweet or a wine dressing. Baked Bananas. -Take firm, ripe bananas carefully out of their skins. Split lengthwise; dredge heavily with sugar; dot with bits of butter; sprinkle lightly with cinnamon or squeeze lemon juice over them; put back in the skins and bake until soft; slip them out of the peelings and eat hot. If intended as a side dish of a meat course use less sugar and omit the cinnamon altogether. Bananas With Meat Dishes.-Bana- nas ishes: Bana- nas are seldom served with meats in Soak in cold water for one hour, drain and put on to cook in saucepan with just enough water to cover. Add sliced carrot and two, small onions cut in two; also two stalks celery, two sprigs parsley, two sprigs parsley and qne sprig each of thyme and sage, tied together. Season with salt and pepper and let boil gently forty-five minutes, removing scum occasionally. When cooked transfer veal to another saucepan and strain broth to remove vegetables and herbs, Blend one tablespoon flour with one tablespoon butter and add to veal broth. Mix juice of one-half lemon with two beaten egg yolks, add one-half cup milk and pour into sauce. Beat with egg beater until well blended. Strain over veal, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

The following story which is go- ing the round of the continental pa- pers, including even those of Austria, must make the Germans gnash their teeth. A German and a Dane met recently in Schiller's house in Wei- mar. As they stood gazing reverent- ly on the scene, the German swelling with pride, remarked to his fellow - visitor, "So this is where our national poet, Schiller, lived." "Pardon me," said the other, "not national, but in- n „so?" w asked the i al. Ho recast on German, with surprise. "Why, con- sider Ms works," the Dane replied. "He wrote 'Mary Stuart' for the Eng- lish, '.The Maid of Orleans' for the French, 'Egmont' for the Dutch, 'Wil- liam Tell' for the Swiss-" "And what slid• he write for the Germans, pray?" broke in the other. Pat came the Dane's answer: "For the Germans he wrote, 'The Robber,' " What Tommy Told,, Tommy:"Do you go to bed very early, Mrs. Graymare?" Mrs. G.: !'Yee, Tommy, sometimes - when I feel tired." Tommy: "Von wouldn't go as early if you were married to my pa, would you?" Mrs, 0.: "Oh, Tommy, you fumty boy; why not?"
