COMPANION
This huge totem pole in the window of the Canadian National Rail-
ways office, Fifth Avenue, New York City, has been an object of much
interest since its erection, and it has received considerable prominence in
the columns of the New York newspapers. Interested groups of people
are always gathered in front of this little bit of Canada in the heart of
New York, reading the legend at the foot of the pole and endeavoring
to translate for themselves the story which the curiously carved figures
have to tall: , It is an authentic replica of one of the Totem Poles of the

A SALAD WORTH TRYING.
Boil two and a half cups of tomato,
a little celery, a nninced onion, bay -
leaf, cloves, salt and pepper for fifteen
minutes and press through a sieve.
Dissolve a quarter of a package of
gelatine in a quarter of a rup of water
and add to the tomato. Place on the
ice until stiff. Cut in cubes and serve
with tomato fluff. Make the latter by
cooking a cup of sugar, a cup of
strained tomato juice and the juice of
half a lemon to a thick syrup and pour
the mixture slowly over the .stiffly
beaten white of egg. The jelly should
be very cold' and served on a lettuce
leaf, ;sprinkled with capers asci sup-
plemented by cheese straws.
BAKED DUMPLINGS.
Tomato dumplings are savory bits
for main dash or entree. For six to-
matoes, canned, whole and drained,
make a biscuit dough, using two cups
of flour and other ingredients as
usual. Roil thin, cut in .ser;parts and
on each lay a tomato. Mix together
a tablespoon each of minced parsley
and peanut butter, adding lialf a tea-
spoon of salt and an eighth of a tea-
•spoon of pepper. Place a portion of
each tomato, wrap the dough about it
and .place in a • greased baking pan.
Brush the tops with the beaten yolk
of an egg diluted with two tablespoons
of niilk and scatter over thein, finely
chopped, roasted peanuts. • Bake in a
hot oven and serve very hot.
Scallop whole, canned tomatoes
with buttered crumbs, or with chopped
nuts, or they can be baked in a cream
sauce, sprinkling the top with grated
cheese and buttered crumbs.—M. H. T,
