The great point of donor about the cap, of course, was that it had to be as broken and squashed as was consistent with a passing on parade. The little shiny peak had to be cracked, and the reed crown shape- less ala faded. The new -looking kepi could only be worn without ridicule by some glori- ous veteran, The younger the soldier the more thought Ire gave to render- ing his headgear disreputable. No youth ever colored a meerchaum more carefully than the eighteen -year-old French conscript discolored his cap. We -are so used now to pale blue sol- diers, with medieval helmets, or with the dashing little policecap, worn at an impertinent angle, that it seems. in- credible that in 1914 the mels were, cheered as they marched away.; branches in rifles and flowers in caps, were the red and blue soldieis of half, a century's cartoons and drawings,' with their little caps, such as an aged i English postman might wear in his garden:—the unshed relic of his official headgear, only without the hinder} peak—jauntily crammed upon their heads. It will be a very little time before we actually see the last kepi, and prob- ably when we do we shall not realize it. These things slip away unnoticed.

Here are some suggestions for the 5012001 lunch: 1. Two chicken sandwiches; two chopped figs; a little sponge cake; pear. 2, Two- brown bread and egg san wiches; 2 of white bread with oran r marmalade tiling; a chicken drum stele; a square 0f frn,it wafer; a peac 3, Two roast 'beef sandwiches; cream cheese and chopped � p_ i can a 1 sandwiches; sees • 2 small celery stalks; s, cookies; and apple sauce. 4. Two minced ham sandwiches; 2 sandwiches with chopped celery filling and French dressing; a square of gingerbread; a pear; half a doze marshmallows. 5. Three sandwiches of plain brea , and butter; a jar of mixed fruit salad a slice of cold meat and 8 ginge cookies. To make the chicken sandwiches til chicken should be minced or cut i cubes and mixed with salad dressin and salt to taste and placed betwee white bread with a little lettuce if available. The roast beef is made the same way. The fig sandwiches ar made by chopping the figs fine and wetting with a little cream and plac K made into loaves or salads, and such foods need not be touched at all if there is the slightest clanger that warm weather or careless handling have ruined thein. Good honest roast beef is ns satis- al- factory as anything, with baked po- tatoes, or potatoes roasted in the meat broth, while beef stew or short ribs with potatoes and gravy rarely cause trouble.

Roast mutton is one also good, but not so common. Veal ncl should be avoided as it is immature to meat and not satisfactory. Fish, us oysters and lobsters far- from water a and in warm weather should be view- nt ed with suspicion. Eggs in every form are - always good, as a very stale egg will not poach ar fry in a satisfactory planner. of Eggs with toast for breakfast and a a cereal with cream will usually satisfy even a hearty appetite and fruit can d- he added with rolls and butter if go liked.

A diver, while employed one day in bringing up various article° from tele wreck of the Royal George, which' went down off Spitheacl on August 28,, - 1782, being seized with a sudden fit' of drowsiness, fell asleep, He dreamed three times in succession that just as be was about to pick up a curiously- wrcught silver dish from among a' mass of debris, a very tall figure, dressed in a diving suit, sprang at him and tried to cut the life -line. As at this time the alter two me he was working with were both of short stature, not in the least degree like the figure in his dreams, he scop forgot it. Foretold by a Dream. tgut great was his trepidation orae marnie:g when, on turning up at his wer li , he found anef his amates a - b fn t, and a newcomer --_a very tall mo:; --in his place. Indeed, so alarmed wae he, that,' on descending, he tools with him a stout cudgel, and warned thee° in charge of the communication rope to be on the alert for a signal, now.'v r slight.

The egg sandwiches are made by boiling an egg hard, mashing it and mixing with Mayonnaise dressing and a little salt. 1liinced hani could also be added to this filling. The fruit salad is prepared by cut- ting a seedless orange in half, cross- wise, and removing the pulp. It will collie out easier if the orange is first allowed to stand a Few minutes in hot water to loosen the si,in. Chop the pulp and cover with a French dress- ing of 1 teaspoon of oil, Ye teaspoon of lemon juice and a little salt, mixed with the orange juice. This is very good for those who like unsweetened fruit salads. Oil paper should be used to wrap the various foods for the child's lunch. Fruit salads should • be carried ein glass jars with screw tops and each child should have a glass of milk carried in the same way. Dill Pickles. Cover the bottom of the container, glass fruit jars or stone crocks may be used, with dill leaves. Fill half full, add another layer of dill, fill the container with cucumbers, having a op layer of dill leaves, and cover all with cold vinegar. - Seal and store, f in fruit jars. In a crock, cover losely with a plate. Many use mixed spices with the dill. This is not ecessary. Ah, Hope, brave Hope!

Eating In Public Places. Many good people, particularly elderly people, lose much enjoyment by staying tit home rather than eat at public places. Or if they do ven- ture forth and have to eat in heteI, dining car or restaurant, they worry continually for fear the food is not elean or that they will be poisoned by it. Of course, the accounts of pto- maine poisoning are far too numerous, particularly in summer, but even granting that it is ritsky to eat some. thing in public places there are still enough, ,same feed, to insure a ainst starf'ation, end no elle 1ited s y a' home or carry a lunch for safety if a SOX gene el imles ;axe observed.
