Fruit and Vegetable Salads.
In preparing fruit salads, there are
numerous points to be kept in mind,
such as the general form of the salad,
the combination, the dressing arid the
garnishing„ If these are considered
one may have an infinite and appetiz-
ing variety.
A salad raay be served itt delicate
green or rosy -apples, which ;have been
hollowed 'out, or in email or large mel-
ons, 'tomatoes, peppers er other vege-
table casings in like manner. The
'salad proper may be just a salad, or it
may have a meat value by the addition
of hard-boiled' eggs, nuts, meat left-
overs or cheese Celery, head lettuee
or any of the dainty 'vegetables may
be combined with fruit, 13ananae and
melees cut itt cubes may be combined
with eherries, punas or strawberries.
Pineapples, oranges and ,grapefruit
may be 'combined with encumbers,
pears, ,apples,' grapes or olives. Other
combinations, saeh as lettuce, half of
a tomato, chopped cucumber and green
pepper or lettuce with cream cheese
moulded with chopped pimento and
olives or lettuce with moulded ,spinach
and hard-boiled eggs, ;and beets er
dandelions with watercrees ancl to -
matoas cut in quarters are excellent
w;hem served with French dres,.sing. In
fact, th,ere is na fruit ,ar tegetable
whieli cannot be suceesktfully com-
bined with another fruit or -vegetable
to make a palate -tickling salad.
• The garnish appeals primarily to
the eye, althonzh it is a. decided addi-
tion to any salad. Cress, lettuce,
parsley, nasturtium leaves, rose leaves
or currant 'sprigs may all be used as a
garnish, according to the individual
taste.
Last, but by no means least, conies
the e-aIlad dressing. It is a very

Helping the Children to Appreciate
. Music.
Children are notoriously ungrateful
until it is to late tabe anything dee.
This is net so much from inborni
viciousness as from the thoughtlesse
nes.s ofschiedhead and youth. While it
may be true that it Is n,a en&ee a
parent's duty to give•children all pos-
e:We advantagee, that does not ab-
eolve the aim. from feeling and show-
ing gratitude and appreciation, and
this is easiest done by trying to please
father and mother. Children may rest
assure& that nothing pleases parents
so much as the success of -their sons
and daughters tin anythieg theyamder-
take; and especially music.
If young people, even quite young
people, were taught the virtue and
value of work and industry and leen-
esty, the beauty and power of grati-
tude and eonsideastion as far as their
music is concerned, it would have a
tendency to make them industrious,
honest and considerate in other re -
So do not Imagine that
a moment or two spent in inculcating
the virtues mentioned would be time
misappropriated. 04 the contrary, it
would be time well spent. This is
not intended to suggest preaching' or
long-wireled elgesesions. Just a few.
words, a well-conSidaxed remark now
and then might work wonders. Try it.
What About the Vitamines?
One of the most comforting things
to know about the vitamines is the
fact- that they are nothing new- and
that anyone who is reasemehly careful
to eat a missed diet of good natural;
food needs to give them little thought!
The thief value of the new theory to,
the average man has been to explain;
why cerbain foods rIiich contain no,
great amount of nourishment are so
indispeneable to health. Take the leafy,
'vegetables, for • example-. we know,
that they were good in promoting
regular habits of the bowes because:
they contained the "rotrghtese la!
their celltilese content necessary to:
stithulate ,the bdwels to action. But
we did not appreciate the fact that
they were also amongst the very best
foods Tor "pep” and energy and good
digestion because of being unusuallyi
rich in vitarnines. Now that we know
this fact it gives no a good deal more
interest in seeing teat our gardens are
encouraged to produce such vegetables
as lettute, spitach, chard and cauli-
flower, as wen ae,the more utilitariaii
eabbage.
It is undoubtedly true that the pea -
cess of cooking destroys the vitaminesi
to a certain extent but the average
diet le 'so rich in the elements needed
that plenty remaine for our needs in
spite of this impairment
