• = -. ca Woman's World ^ y\ By MAIR M. MORGAN _-^^^ \ "A Woman't Plac« la In th» Ho V Delicloua Dishes To many persons creamed dried oeet IS jast creamed dried beef â€" a more or less tasteleRs and rather un- il^tUfactory dish resorted to ia a dull mumerit. But when care U taken in Its making it becomes a iialatable and ai>i>etizlng coneonction. The secret of delectable creamed Iried beef lies in "frizzling" the beef before adding the tream sauce. Dried beef 13 lacking in fat so this must be supplied. Melt butter in frying pan. add beef carefully picked in small pieces with all bits of stringy tissue removed and cook over a low Are until the edges (,r the beef cur!. Use one tablespoon flour for each cup of milk used in gaurc. Sift flour over beef and Btir with a fork until flour is absorbed. Add milk and bring to the boiling IKJlnt, stirring constantly to make •moolh. The sauce made this way is abut the color of old ivory and has a delicious flavor. No salt U needed be- cause the beef furnishes enough salt for the sauce. Pepper may be added If liked. One slice of onion and a few ?elery leaves may be scalded in the jnilk If a more savory sauce is wanted. Strain to remove vegetables and be sure to cool milk before making sauce. Cold liquid insures a smooth sauce. A very attractive way to serve creamed frizzled beef is to put the creamed beef in fhe centre of a large serving dish. Then arrange long Btrips of buttered toast from the beet tj> the edge of the dish and pile hot potato chips between the toast strips. Uarnlsh wih sprigs of parsley or sprinkle minced parsley over the creamed l>eef. Potato chips which have been made several days in ad- vance may be re-heated in a moderate oven to make hot for serving. SJacaroai with tomatoes and dried beef is a splendid luncheon dish. it should be served with a cr!?p lettuce cr cabage salad and a custard dessert. Scrumbled eegs gain interest by the addition of dried beef. Frizzle the chipped beef in butter in frying pan be- for adding milk and eggs and then proceed as u.'^iial. Mushrooms make an effective gar- nish to creamed dried beef as well as to scrambji'd eggs and b'?ef. Perfect- ly creamed dried beef -with broiled tuushruouis is woriiiy a place on any party luncheon table. One-fourth pound dried beef com- bined with other materials will serve four persons. Stale Cake Hint rVrtain varieties of cake will keep moist and palatable until the last crumb disappears, but other?, particu- larly sj>onge cakes and plain white cakes, bec<^nie dry and undesirable the second day after they are baked. There are many really delicious des- Sfjrts that can be made with stale cake if the cook \1se3 a little ingenuity, a light cake which is very dry can be crumbled, soaked la milk until soft, and tiien combined with eggs to make k very acceptable pudding. The procedure is almost identical â- with that for a bread pudding, though care must be taken not to make it too Bweet when cake crumbs are used. Plain cake which is not dry enough for irumbling, but has lost its fresh- ness, can be cut in pieces for serving and steamed until hot and moist. Serve with a liijuid sauce and garnish with whipped cream if convenient. Mock tipsy pudding, a light and de- lectujile dessert, j.s made with stale apouse cake or lady lingers. Cut sponge cako in thin, narrow slices and spread with any kind of jam or pre- serves. Peach or apricot i.s very good. Arrange in layers in a d^'ep dish and pour two cups of thin boiled custard over cake slices. Lot stand over night or for several hours until the cako ab- s<)rbi the I'ustard. Serve very cold with whipped cream. The custard shoiiid be very slightly sweetened Jlnco the cako and jam are-l)oth sweet. .*!! these suggestions prevent waste lad arc a decided means towards .'• (i:i ':ny. Cake Crumb Puddina iwo i-ups cake crumbs. 1 c.gs. mitk, lelly, 2 tabitspoons sugar. ThH amount of milk needed will de- fend on the variety ui the cako and »n the Ktaleness of lh=' crumbs, biit it will take about two cups. Pour over crumbs and let stand until milk U ab- sorbed. Add yolk of egg and beat well. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake In a moderate oven un- til firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Spread with Jelly and cover with white of -egg beaten until stiff with sugar. Return to a slow oven and bake eight minutes to puff and color meringue. A good uncooked pudding uses two cups dry cake crumbs, 1 cup stewed fruit and 1 cup cream, whipped. Rub fruit through colander to remove stones and sklus and make smooth. Mil crumbs and fruit well and fold in cream whipped until firm. Turn into a shallow pan and let stand on ice for several hours to chill and become firm. Cut in squares and serve with more whipped cream, slightly sweetened and flavored with vanilla. Return of the Biscuit Once upon a time no tea table was complete without some kind of bis- cuits. Then cake superseded them, and It was a rare occurrence â€" usually when there was no cake in the pantry â€" for them to appear on the table. Recently I have noticed on two or three occasions when I have been at other people's houses, that the little home-made tea biscuit is returning. With the afternoon cup of tea or the after-dinner cup of coffee they are ideal. The art of biscuit-making is not easy. Time and care must be bestow- ed upon the making, and particularly the baking. A biscuit should bd very crisp and short. You nught like try try your hand at making some. Lemon Fingers Beat four ounces of butter and tour ounces of sugar to a cream. Add a well-eaten egg and the grated rind of one lemon, a pinch of salt and eight ounces of flour. Mix thoroughly, knead well and roll out. Cut into thin fingers and bake in a cool oven. Coffee Biscuits hito M lb. of flour and 2 oz. of sugar work ^4 lb. butter or margarine. Add half a teaspoontul baking pow- der, then work up with one egg beateil' up with about a tablespoonful of milk. The dough should he very smooth. Roll out, cut and stamp, and bake in a quick oven until a light brown color. These are plain biscuits to go with after-dinner coffee, but they can be iced if desired. Chocolate Fingers To 4 oz. of flour add about a quarter of a teaspoontul of baking powder. Rub in 39 oz. of lard. Then add 3 oz. of castor sugar and 3 oz. of cocoa. Pour in one egg and make into a paste. Roll out thin and cut into strips about 1 in. wide and 3 in. long. Put into a moderate oven and bake until crisp. Useful Hints Many people find sage and onion stuffing too rich. If. however, a pinch of ground ginger is mixed in with tho other ingredients It will be found quite digestible as well as a hotter flavor than usual. Fish cukes, rissoles and other fried foods that are mixed with egg often break in cooking. This will not hap- pen if the white only of the egg is used, and they can be turned or moved about in the pau at will and still re- main whole. .\dd a few drops of paiTafliu oil to the water in which you wash steps, and your hands will not become chap- ped on chilly mornings. Screening For Effect Screens should play an important part in your Interior decorating schemes. Uesides being useful for hid- ins unsightly corners, beds and other places you don't want to show, they are decorative. Attractive screens tor a kitchen can be made by covering an inexpensive screen with squares of ulleloth to match your table cover. Or. if you have an old faded one In the house try covering it with same cretonne as yt'ur curtains. A colorful portrait study ia "Couchle," by J. K.

Introdcction â€" To-day's lesson will mark another milestone along the Costly Way. .A.11 attempts to secure some quiet with his disciples failed. Further controversies with the Phari- sees (Mark 7: 1-23) widened still more the breach that already separat- ed Jesus from the religious leaders. He decided to go, for the time being, into voluntary exile. In Phoenicia he would be unknown, therefore safe and unmolested. The •'Galilean Ministry" was at an end. I One of the Family, Mark 7: 24- 30. Arriving in the purely heathen ter- rUory of Phoenicia, Jesus took elab- orate precautions to avoid recognition. Nevertheless, he was discovered. X native woman followed him, implor- injf him to heal her daughter, vs. 24, 25. How did she know him? Rumors of a wonderful healer had perhaps come across the borders. Perhaps the disciples, so proud of their Master's healin-g powers, talked too much. In any case the intuition of one in great trouble told her, "Here is the Healer. ' Jesus was one of those people, some of whor.i are still among us, to whom folk in trouble always come. The daughter's illness was apparently one of those pathetic mental and nervou.' derangements which seem to have been si> common in Palestine in those days. The n-.other was d "Greek," that is, a pagan. "Syro-pher.ician" means a Phenieian of Syria. The fact of in- terest here is that she was a pagan. She implored Jesus to heal her child. Jesus had come to this country to avoid just this kind of thing. Were his words (v. 271 a hard, unfeeling rebuff ; or a very gentle, playful test- insj of the woman's faith? Cold print does not show his !;indly smile, which reas.surfcd her. It was quite true. Jesus' first duty was to his own peo- ple. He must try to get thcni to see th* meaning of thnr long spiritual tiaising. It meant that they were to be the mi.-!sionaries of the truth to others. Hence k s ''the children tirst " then the "little doggies" (the force of tl -> word "dog"') the domesticated pets of the household â€" its special care â€"meant that pagans were part of his f;.mily. They were the under-privi- leged, weaker members, I.sraeXs spe- cial care. Thus v. 27, instea . of beinjr harsh, is tender and beautiful. Had the dull leaders of he nation, and the later "Christian" nntior.s. grasped this truth, cultivated this attitude to- ward "foreigners," the foundation for international friendship would have been weli and truly laid. The healing of the girl had the usual results. The publicity and ex- citemeiit once more defeated Jesus' purpose. He turned again to the south, crossed Jordan and entered the district known as Decapilis, a loose confederation of cities. "Decapolis" means "ten cities." II How Love Triumphs, Mark 7: 31- 37. Jesus was now in the vicinity of the district where he had healed the de- i.-oniac, )[&rlt 5: 1-20. The "vested irterescs" of the community, fearing for their profits, had driven him out, Mark 5: 17. It would appear that now the Master l.oped to re-enter this region unobserved, and have a little time, uninterrupted, with his d!s- ci.jles. Since the healing of the demoniac, l.owever, a campaign was being car- ried on in his favor, more effective than thr.t of fear auv hate which the Hog Breeders' Association waged against him. It Wc.s the propaganda of the man whom, he had healed. Mark 5 : 20. Jesus and his little com- pany had hardly set foot witMn De- capolis, when to every corner of the district, the news spread, "H3re he is. the Healerl" Love, the greatest thing in the world, had been doing i's work. .A. member of a despised race had done a kindness to one miserable fel- low some time in the past. It had broken down the barrier of racial contempt. "Jew,'' to a native of De- capoHs, now suggested helpfulness, kindness. Love had uone another bit of its perfect work for world-friend- ship. It has been well said that Jesus both democratized and interna- tionalized religion. One of the rea- sons why he was crucified was his at- titude of good-will towards Romans. He was free from race and class hat- reds. Taking the deaf mute 1 v. 32) aside from the crowds, the Master .seems to have employed certain met'notis, com- rroniy used at the time, ana had cured the man of his trouble. See Mark 8: 22-26. where Jesus .'gain uses mater- ial means. These two accounts ap- pear in Mark alone. Matthew and Luke perhaps did not like to record such use of material means by our Lord. Saliva was often regarded in the ancient world as having cur.stive powers. As the Master pronounced the words which accompa.;ied the healing, he sighed, v. 34. Why? Ont poor man .st<>od before him, by no means the most wretched of the many around him. But the sensitive heart of our Lord saw ir this man the whole "weltering sea of sorrow that moanetl around the world, of which this wa,s but one dvop that he could dry up." When a young man asks for a meal at one's d^wr. does not the Christ-like woman who feeds him feel somethin,j t.' the weight of the bitter and hope- less wretchedness of all the ^-ictin.* of unemployment? Sympath.- •or this one young man widens out into a greater and more painful s.. mpathy for all those whom he represents. Through many a sorowfui liour. Jesus bore the sins and s<irrows of the world. But it is thus that Love tri- umphs^ Medical Officer Commends Old-Fashioned Spanking Ideas about child punishment so old- fashioned as to be almost revolution- ary, were expressed by Dr. F. C. Shru- sall, senior medical officer ot the school system of London, England, in a recent address iu that city before (he Child Study Society. Says Dr. HL E. Free, in hla Week's Science (New York.i : "One of ot hia Ideas ia that the most scientiflc way to punish a child is by an old-fashioned spanking, being sure that this is hard enough to be really painful^ "Another is that the spanking must be done immediately and in anger, instead of waiting until later when the outraged parent has cooled off. Dr. Shrubsall insists that anger ia quite well understood by the child, and has the proper effect on It, whereas later punishment accompanied by 'reason- ing' with the child' is not understood and merely impresses the child aa one mora of tho myriads of inexplicable things which adults do. "Pain in the skin, like that from i^ good spanking. Dr. Shrubsall regards as nature's method ot training all young animals. This is how the ani- mal, or the baby, learns to avoid harm- ful objects, as evidenced by the pro- verb that a burnt child dreads the fire. One reason why this is so elTective is that the pain tollow^s instantly on the fiery contact, which is why spank- ings also should follow immediately on the offense. Merely mental punish- ments, such as scoldings or arguments, are unnatural and relatively ineffec- tive. Fortunately, Dr. Shrubsall be- lieves that psychological theories against spanking seldom are really practiced. 'There probably is no child psychologist in existence,' he said, 'who, having a child ot his own or her own, has never spanked it." " A Smart ModG^ For Mature Finireo By HELEN WILLIAMS. It!

Here are Lon- don's edicts for spring styles: There will be no chauga la wom- en's figures. Elegance and "stream- line" will be the keynote, and slim- ming diets will have to be continued. The waistline will be just above the normal one. Some of the newest evening dresses have sleeves whch reach to the el- bow, fit close over the shoulder and for a few inches down the arm. and then are puffed widely. Walking frocks will end 13 inches off the ground, formal afternoon dresses 10 inches, while evening dress- es will just clear the floor. As if to make up for their "back- lessness."' evening gowns will be cut higher in front, in some cases almost up to the neck. The lightweight dresses, made trom fancy materials, provide a fresh range of woollen stuffs for Spring frocks. These are very fine and very light, but triers are signs that materials with crinkled and crepe-like surfaces will be replaced. New topcoats for the spring are full leng'h. with wide draped revers car- sied sometimes to the wastline. Short jumpers will continue to be worn, but will be made from soft wool- len materials, many of which will be striped.
