Salads Are "In" Salads are practically synonymous with summer menus; Most amity hunches and Sunday night supers centre around the salad bowl, Of Course, everybody needs at least one {lot dish a day no matter what the thermometer may register. Let that }lot disci make its appearance at dfn- tier. In so far as lunches are concern- ed, the home -maker will do well to ldok to her salad recipes as long as hot weather' is with us. Lettuce, endive, chicory, watercress and all the other salad greens are rich in vitamin coriteut. They are not to be overlooked, particularly when plan- ning diets for growing children. Use Fresh Fruits The fruits which go to ''make up that old standby, fruit salad, are healthful in themselves. At this time of year you can serve fruit salad com- iosed entirely of fresh fruits. Time enough to use canned ones when the season prevents you from getting fresh Varieties. Pineapple, strawberries, cherries, grapefruit and oranges are Abundant right now. Take advantage of them. The dressings which top your salads furnish ample fat for a meal. Mayon- naise is rich 4n fatty content. French dressing is, or should be, about one- half olive oil. Au. ideal summer salad for the main course of a luncheon or Sunday night supper is cottage cheese with sour Cream surrounded by a ring of fresh vegetables. Place crisp lettuce around the edges pf a huge platter. A mound of cottage cheese goes in the centre. Sprinkle the cheese with paprika and fine chop- ped chives or green onions. Whether You mix onions or chives all through tlee cheese depends on your family's aste. You have to add salt and pep- iCer to most cottage cheese sold in stores. If you make,your own it will have been seasoned while it was warm. Around the outer edge of the cheese put small portions of various cold vegetables. Diced carrots, beets, peas, . string beans, and whole kernels of corn may be included, Celery, radish- es, cucumbers and tomatoes can be Used to garnish the lettuce between the vegetables. Put a spoonful of salad dressing on top of each mound of vegetables and pour a little sour cream over the Cheese. Everyone helps himself as the platter is passed. French Dressing The principal reason so many people fail to make good French dressing is that they do not put enough ingredi- ents into it. Just olive oil, vinegar aid paprika are hardly enough. Try using pickle juice instead of plain negar. Two small slices of garlic, fo or three whole cloves, a half cup 61 sugar and plenty of salt and pepper •i one cup of vinegar and one cup of live oil give your French dressing a rest that it never had before, Cottage Cheese A delightful addition to the summer meuu, and easy to make, is cottage geese. . There are so many attractive ways to serve it and it combines so readily with appetizing food accessories that his a favorite standby with many ousewives. Cottage cheese may be made at house and it's an excellent way to use milk when it sours, If you follow the rules carefully you can't help but have tuccessfui results and the cheese will ie most delectable. Because it is the protein part of the milk, cottage cheese will take_the place of meat or ,- Kgs for luncheon or supper or the pie - Mc meal. Simple Directions Thick curdled milk that has soured quickly is the best foundation for .a *bed quality of cottage cheese and while there are several ways of mak i*ng the cheese perhaps the follow- ing is the easiest: Place the bowl containing the thick slur milk into a large pan of hot coater.

Gather up the four corners of the cheesecloth and hang up to drain. Let it drain until the curd Is term acid all the whey is drained' out. Remove from cheese- cloth to a bowl and beat with a fork, adding cream, .either sweet or sour, to make the mixture of the right con- sistency. .Add salt to "taste," usually about Vet teaspoon to two cups cheese. Serve a big dish of cottage cheese plain, or sprinkle with chopped chives, or mix it with winced onion, olives or cucumber dice, or use shred- ded green pepper or pimento. Two or three of these additions may be used in combination. An unusual and delicious dessert for summer meals combines' unmixed cot- tage cheese with whipped cream, using equal parts of whipped cream and cheese. Serve with strawberry, or cur- rant preserves and crisp crackers. Cool Drinks As the thermometer mounts; re- freshing drinks made with fruit juices become most welcome. More than this, any drink made with fruit has a deflnite place in the diet. We all recognize the importance of eating " fruit for its mineral content and vitamins, and we should remem- ber those necessary six daily glasses of water. In a fruit punch, we find these essentials combined in a pleas- ing taehion. Scientists tell us that "water has the property of absorbing more heat and being less affected by that heat than any other substance. It will ab- sorb the heat from your body, and in passing off in the form of perspiration the evaporation cools you; hence there Is a good reason for sipping a cooling beverage not only in the im- mediate cooling effect but in the ulti- mate effect." Charged Drinks Healthful It is also interesting to know that ginger ale and innumerable other bot- tled beverages made with "charged" or "carbinated" water are healthful drinks, according to chemical research. These beverages are of some food value due to the sugar used in their making, while the fruit juices, acids and extracts and other flavors from aromatic herbs and roots as well as the carbon dioxide gas present act as a tonic and mild stimulant. In making drinks for summer re- freshment, take care not to make them 1 too sweet. A sugar syrup is bette than plain sugar for sweetening. The flavor of the finished drink Is more bland and smooth. However, it should be remembered that the syrup acts also as a dilutent as well as a sweet- ener and must be considered when water is added. A tremendous number of - the new- est Paris frocks feature low flounce skirt treatment. They are circular in cut. Today's little formal afternoon or dinner and dance dress is yellow plaided organdie. It is cut along very slender lines. It can have pleat- ed ar puffed sleeves. And see how smartly it buttons down the back. ' It is very simple to make and will cost you next to nothing. Such a model could well be carried out in crepe silk chiffon cotton voile prints, plain organdie, etc. Style No, 2620 is designed for sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 years, 36 and 38 inches bust.

Enclose 15c in stamps or coin (coin preferred; wrap it carefully) for each number, and address your order to ,Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto. Fruit Juices Handy Ginger ale adds sparkle and pep to a fruit punch. Carbonated water gives a tang, while tea distinctly changes the iiavor. These all give character to a mild punch whereas plain water merely lessens the fruity taste and in- creases the quantity. Don't hesitate to combine fruit juices. The excessive juice left from the canning of small fruits may al- ways be used to advantage in summer drinks. Lemon or lime juice give a pleasant tartness to all fruit punches and should be added, if at all possible. Feather Biscuit Mix together: 11 cups flour, 1 table- spoon lard, 1h teaspoons baking pow- der, ea teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup milk (or enough milk to make a soft dough). Bake in a quick oven. These biscuits are so easy to make and are always "as light as a feather," too. Dressmaking Hints When cutting out a garment always use sharp pins and scissors, Blunt ones are apt to move the material out of position. Always .use the scissors at the right side and hold the pattern firmly with the pahn of the left hand. Pleats, and so on, in silk material, should be tacked with silk thread. Cot- ton or mercerized cotton will mark the stuff when pressed, Always thread a needle with the end of the thread that first comes off the reel—not the end that you cut—and- you will have no trouble with continu- ally knotting threads, When sewing on a button place a pin between it and the material. Sew the button on in the usual way but before finishing off, take out the pin and wind the thread several times around the ,stitches' between button and cloth. This will form a "shank," and prevent dragging when the garment is button- ed up. On thick material use a match stitch in place of a pin. When sewing buttons on thin Ma- terial place a piece of strong tape 0n the wrong side and sew through both material and tape. In a pleated dress, make a small cross stitch at the base of each pleat, on the inside of the hem. These will show the position of the pleats when the garment has been washed, and help you to Iron them straight. - Mrs. Leghorn: `1 hear that you don't like Dr, Duck. • Mrs. Plymouth Rock: No indeed I'll never let him attend my fancily, why they say he's a regular quack. - A. bullfight in which the matadors were mounted ou motorcycles instead of horses was held at Bilbao.

Golden Text — God ie our refuge and strength, A very present help In Trouble:..- Ps, 46:1, DEBORAH'S SUMMONS TO BARAK, Judg, 4:1-10. The Judges. The Book of Judges is the account of the long period, after the death of Joshua and before the rise of Eli and Samuel, when the Israelites had no truly national leader, when they were harassed by heathen tribes, The people were saved from de- struction by the rise at different emergencies of military leaders wlio forced back the foreign invaders,. and gave the land peace for a long- er, or shorter time, These leaders appeared in different tribes, ,some of them simultaneously. "These leaders were called Judges, and their period extended through about two and a half centuries. There were twelve of them, not counting Abimelech, who was a lo- cal king and not called of God. The first of the Judges was Othniel of the tribe of Judah, who saved the people from the king of Mesopota- mia. Next Ehud of the tribe of Ben- jamin delivered the Israelites from the •Moabites. Shamgar, perhaps of Judah, saved the people in an attack of the Philistines. Then came De- borah of Ephraim and Barak of Naphtali who delivered the people from the aggressions of the Canaan - "And Barak said unto her, If ,than' wilt go with me, then I will go," Barak was less heroic tban Deborah; for though the general would not go to the battle without the prophetess, Deborah, we may be sure, would have gone to the battle without Ba- rak, if necessary, "BBut if thou wilt not go with me, 1 will not go." "Ba rak's refusal" to go without Deborah may reasonably be attributed rather to piety than to fear, Especially as we read of no hesitation in coming at the first call of Deborah. "And she said, I will surely go with thee," No hesitaiton here, no doubt, no cowardly conditions, De- borah might have said, "I will go, if I may stay protected in the rear"; or, "I will go, 11 first You will raise an army of a hundred thousand men." But Deborah simply said, right off, "1 will surely go with thee," "Notwithstanding, the journey that thou takes•t shall not be for thine honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the Vaud of a woman."' "Sixing upon him a look in wcieh pity, sor- row, and indignation were blended, eaoetaoin h shrdlu wcmfw sh up m the prophetess replied, "If this is thy decision, I will surely accom- pany thee. Since thou wilt not go except a woman go with thee, the Lord will deliver thine adversary into the hand of a woman, and her name and not thine shall be handed down to future generations as the deliverer of her people.'" "And De- borah arose, and went with Barak to Keresh.3' It wasnot an easy jour ney,, especially to a home.loving and home -keeping woman like Deborah; but she cared not for tbehardships of the way, 'And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to K,edesh. He called the chiefs together at Ke - dash, and they summoned their fol- owers quietly. In small companies ites. Gideon of Manasseh fought 1 a conquered the Midianites, who cane in upon Israel from the east- ern desert. Jepthah of. Gilead was victorious over the Ammonites. Ib- zan of Zebulun, Elon also of Zebu- lun, and Abdon of Ephraim were Judges successively. Then came Samson of the southern division of Dan, who struggled heroically against s the P.hilistines on the west. These were the twelve Judges, though Eli S who came next, while high 'priest, G was also a Judge, and Samuel, the e last and greatest of all, was a Judge but pre-eminently a prophet. i A Woman Judge. After the plc- 0 tory of Ehud over the Moabites, the land of Canaan was at peace for iJ eighty years.. Then after Ehud's J death the Israelites, untaught by t their past misfortunes, again fell M.under the ever-present temptations r of Idolatry, and the Lord "sold them J into the land" of another oppressor. T The "purchaser" this, time was a tr Canaanite king, Jabin, whose capi- w tol was Hazor, "the Fort" or "the to Castle," situated far in the north, ra near Lake 1Vierom, in the territory g of Naphtall.`Jabin means "intern- us gent," and he was at least able ab enough to do a great injury to the a .Israelites. He accomplished his Si creel deeds through a pewerful gen pl eral named. Sisera. tr "Now Deborah." Her name means "eebee," Rebekah's nurse had the seine name. "A prophetess." She was a woman through whom God revealed His' wiIl, as he revealed it through the prophets, "The wife of Lappidoth." A man of -whom we know nothing except that he was the husband of Deborah. "She judg- d Israel at that•time." At the time when Jabin and Sisera were harry- ing the people to the north of her. Though far away from the scene of their depredations, Deborah had a heart of sympathy for all suffering, and she was a true patriot. "And the children of Israel cane up to her for judgment." For the decision. • of disputes, the settlement of difficulties. "She did not go on circuit like Samuel. but sat at home in Mt. Ephraim under the tree to which she gave her name." ' "She was the one person of her day in whom the authentic word of God found utterance." "And she sent and called Barak." His name means "Lightning"—a good name for a soldier. "And said unto him." He came, eidently, a distin- guished general, at the command of a woman, "Hath not Jehovah, the od of Israel, commanded." A defin- e statement put in the form of a estion. "Saying, go and draw un - mount Tabor." "And take with ee ten thousand men of the ohild- eu of . Naphtali and of the children Zebulun? These, with Issachar, loll also sent a strong contingent the battle, were northern tribes, el so mose exposed to Sisera's in - ads. 'And I will draw unto thee." So fluence that he will come to at- ck thee; "Sisera, the captain of bin's army, with his chariots and multitude." "The original is ry expressive of the mixed host hich constituted Sleera's army. nd 1 will deliver him into thy id." God promised to put Sisera o . the power` of Baierak, though rak was .so weak, comparatively, d Sisera so mighty. Thus God vays chooses the weak to confound d overcome the strong. so as not to attract• the attention of the enemy, they proceeded to the rendezvous. "And there went up ten thousand men at his feet." "On foot," perhaps; Matfett translates it, "at his back." "And Deborah went up with him." "Evidently to Tabor, in accordance with her in-� tractions" ll, BARAK'S VICTORY OVER ISERA, Judg. 4:11-24.

It enjjoyed the use of a bathing dress which was nothing if not Victorian, but was ter, tainly much more than nothing at all, The general idea of it was that the Human body, for purposes of public!' bathing, must be swathed, almost literally, from head to foot, in wrap. pings and flap -pings of concealing fah, ric, the more the beter and the more concealing the best.
