Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen Brown Wearin' of the Green St. Patrick's Day in the morning! Sure, and we will be celebrating it!

To a child the main part of a party is what they get to eat. The grown- up guest is not so concerned about it, but the food to be served looms high in the hostess' eye, The lunch is easy to make attractive to'' look at, and good to eat, and in keeping with the day, We will have a variety of, recipes, so that you may choose something to suit the type of party you plan to have. Sandwiches Sandwiches are the mainstay of the hostess. Whatever would we do with- out them! To"those who live in large centres it is easy to get materials such as green peppers and cress, with which to carry out your color scheme but as a good many of my' readers are not able to get these things we will first consider materials which are available to everyone. If you have green coloring matter it can be used in both sandwiches and cakes. It can be obtained in both paste and liquid forms. Irish Cart -Wheels Slice a loaf of bread lengthwise, re- move crusts; and spread with a sand- wich spread colored green. White cheese, walnuts and mayonaise make a good. combination. The quickest way of preparing the nuts is.to roll them with a rolling -pin. Roll the bread like a jelly roll and slice thinly. Shamrock Sandwiches Cut slices of bread with a sham- rock cutter. Spread with butter, and arrange 3 slices of stuffed olives on each shamrock. These are open-faced sandwiches. Parsley Sandwiches Make parsley butter by mincing parsley very fine and creaming it with the butter. Spread on brown bread and serve with a salad. Asparagus Rolls Slice fresh bread'' thinly, remove crusts, spread with butter, and add a touch of mayonnaise. If the bread is well -buttered it will not soak in. Place an asparagus tip (canned) on each slice and roll. These are deli- cious either plain or toasted. Cress Rolls Make as for asparagus rolls. Ar- range the cress so that a little of it is over the edge of each slice. A plate of cress rolls is very attractive with the green showing. Parsley Garnish Make any favorite sandwich and sprinkle with chopped parsley before' serving.. Ginger -ale Salad 2 tablespoons gelatin 2 tablespoons sugar .a,• cup cold water 1 cup boiling water l cup lemon juice 1 cup ginger ale 1 cap fruit (grapes, grape fruit, ban- anas). Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. .Dissolve in boiling water, a lemon i•uice, ginger ale and su- gar. Cool, add the prepared fruit and pour into moulds, using either large or individual ones. Serve on a lettuce leaf with salad dressing. St. Patrick Salad Choose a green pepper with three well-defined sections. Cut the stem end and remove seeds. Mix a cream cheese thoroughly with mayonnaise: Fill the green pepper firmly with this ntiature and chill. Slice and serve on lettuce.. • Pepper and Cabbage Chop a cabbage finely, onion, and green pepper Mix with salad clressit with meat. A mixture of ing and mayonnaise is ing for this salad.

DNLY '.t`1#.H. HARDIEST BABES SURVIVE. Indian and Eskimo Are Borns Into the World as the Flowers Theme selves Are Borst Childhood Is Happy and Carefree. What fate befalls our little redskin ;babies when they are thus recklessly tossed in upon the world? ask Eileen Jenness in Forest and Outdoors. No luxurious perambulators or velvet - cushioned ono r d a tomobiles � awaited u ever. w d them, and no Indian mother ever ar- ranged months in advance the intrl- "lay- ette." ars h nail a - P per a of a modern l y ette." But long before perambulators or motor -cars were thought of, fn- dian mothers had a simpler and hap- pier way of carrying about with them these tiny importunate offsprings. . For the child of the aborigine was allowed the primitive luxury of keep- ' ing its little body warm nestled close ' to its mother's back, beneath her parkee of, bark or deerskin, or lying in a little cradle -board swathed with soft fur wrappings. As the years went on, nature took over the task almost unaided, and guided the steps of the children straight through to a sturdy girl or boyhood. • Born into the world as the Bowers themselves are born, with no medical aid, no 'ceremony whatsoever, the child was `immediately picked up by its momentarily exhausted mother, tucked under her loose -fitting outer garment, and carried on her back • perhaps a dozen miles over tnc frozen wastes, or through jagged trails in the forest to the camp of her wandering tribes. 'When he cried, i she fed him, then put him again to sleep in the warm pocket at her back. Many children could not survive: the unceremonious •entry into the cold t world, and the mortality was natur- ally high. Sometimes, too, where the mother had already one child so 'younas to be nourished still from g her breast and carried constantly on her back, she found it quite impos- sible to raise a second. Unless, as often happened, some kind, less -bur- •dened neighbor came to her aid and � offered to adopt the child, the breath of life had often to 'be smothered f from the little one. II Amongst the Eskimos of the Arctic this happened more often than amongst the tribes to the south, for the Arctic climate is inexorable in its ' demands :and survival is only to the fittest. But the child that escaped this tragic fate, no life could be hap- pier, no parents kinder or more a- 1 fectionate. When hunger or pain !came the mother rocked it to and ' fro, patting it gently with her hand and soothing it to sleep with the strange sweet notes of a native lul- laby. The father, too, took an infi- nite pride in his children, shared their games, played with them cn his knees inside the snow -hut, and humored them in almost every whim, Thinking of its future welare, ire attached little charms to the baby's clothes from very infancy, sometimes a tiny bone from the flipper of a s. al to make it grow to be a good sealer, somietimes a strip of caribou skin to 1111 him with the enthusiasm and pa- tience of a great hunter of the caribou, Per the children of the wceal enc?s of the east, life was oven teenier, leer the summers there were longer and warmer and the winner menthe r. , . often bright with sunshine. Thr....tt into the world in much the same t • ceremonious way as his Eskimo muse in, he was soot: pieced in a littleet•;t- dlc-board, made from the .barl cf the birch tree, with a left mattress. tot fresh moss, and warm covering:: of woven strips of rabbit -skin. 'rhe, mother bound him fast to this little bed, and carried him everywhere with her on her back. The soothing mo- tion of the another's body kept her baby in a constant state of happiness, and the gruelling discipline of being kept in a room all by himself and not allowed either to cry or to be fondled by undisciplined visitors was unknown to him in his happier world. As soon as he could walk, be was turned loose in the open sunshine, with nothing but a small pair of skin. moccasins to bind and obstruct the natural freedom of his body. In win- ter he had clothing made entirely of fur, and small snowshoes that en- abled him to walk as easily over the deep snow as on the soft ground of his summer haunts. Free to grow as the trees and wild flowers, he was allowed to play from dawn till dark, uncurbed, unmolested, and with a merry independence that is almost unknown amongst our "model mod- ern children, Indian children were seldom .pun- ished, For very unrully conduct the only reprimand was a scornful expos- ure of their misbehavior' by their parents or grandparents. This took place rather formally in the even- ings, when the families were gather- ed together In the communal houses, and the children were hoping for stories and entertainment. Such open shame before all their relatives and comrades never failed to mortify the • miscreants, and proved a far more commendable punishment than the constant and. 'ineffectual whippings that many of our white children re eeive Times, of course, have not utterly : anthe tribes, changed, d x b s have all slip ped'back into a broken-down clviliz- tion that offers little or .nothing to eke the place of the former ritualis- tlo training.

In the last Parliament there were only three xuembere who stuck to porridges, Yet porridge is eaten in the Royal Household, ,and the King usually begins his breakfast with porridge, and continues with either haddock or bacon and eggs. In most rectories porridge is still a staple dish, though whether from choice or motives of economy is something of a question, Cabinet Ministers are said to be fond of devilled ones, and another favorite dish at the House of Com- mons is the tournedos, a dainty piece of beef so cooked.that it re- ta ns all its redness and richness. But ;le favorite delicacy of Mr. Lloyd George is said to be cantaloupe melon properly sugared and gin - The The army is very fond of beet, so much so that mutton, which was once served on one day a week, has been struck off the list. But it is a big• mistake to imagine that sailors like salt pork, and three years ago salt pork was finally removed from the ueale of rations fox' his Majesty's chips. It' was a relic of the days when fresh meat was impossible. Actors, as a rule, eat lightly. Ow- ing to the exigencies of their pro- fession, they have to eat supper in- stead_ of dinner, and a grilled sole is ene of their favorite foods. Yet there are many who still venture on a toothsome, but indigestible, welsh rabbit. Waiting men display a taste for -Ink puddings, which is puzzling. The chef of a London club, many members of which live by the pen, never fails to serve milk pudding of some sort both at luncheon and dinner. Among the oddest tastes is that of Miss Josephine Baker, the well- known colored dancer, says an article in Answers, who likes freshly baked turnovers made with' cream, cabbage, or apples. • BRITAIN'S FASTEST YEAR: Held World's Speed Records for Sea, Air, and Land. The ,year 1929 was the fastest in history, and for the first time Bri- tain held the world's speed records for land, sea, and air. Two records were brokea by Sir Henry Segrave, who drove his ''Gold- en Arrow" car at 231 miles an hour, and also broke the motor -beat record of over ninety miles an hour in Miss England. Squadron -Leader Orlebar flew at 357.7 miles an hour in a seaplane. Another fine performance was that of Flying Officer Waghorn, who won the Schneider Trophy for Britain at 331.46 metes an hour; while when Captain Malcolm Campbell drove his "Blue Bird" ear at an average of 211, miles an hour for five miles, he se- cured: another world's record for Britain; The German liner Bremen lowered the Atlantic crossing record to .4 days, 14 minutes, 30 seconds. The Mauretania, however, by making ,a spurt at 82 knots an hour, reached a speed unequalled by any other mer- chant vessel. Kaye Don, driving a British eeer, won the 200 miles world record at the high speed of 115 miles a -r Women, too, were not idle in 192ir. Mrs. Victor Bruce performed a great feat df endurance by.driving on the track for twenty-four hours at an average speed of 89 miles an hoer. Two English girls, Miss Gladys ti Haviland and Miss Mona Eley, were the first women to travel round the world in a car unaccompanied b3' a man, while Mile. Maryse Basta,. of France, broke the women's dura tit record for remaining 01 the air for 26 hours, 46 minute. The Duchess of Bedford, with C::+ - tain Barnard and Mr. 13. F.
