Salad

Secrets

A. B.

FRESHNESS of fruit and vegetables is the secret of concocting a succulent salad.

If you find you cannot use a whole lettuce for one meal, do not leave the re- mainder soaking, but wrap the leaves in a cloth which has been wrung out in cold water, and put them in a cool place until required.

Should a lettuce become "dead" looking, soak the separated leaves in cold water for five minutes, then place them in a wire basket and shake well.

By the way, why not shred lettuce leaves sometimes. In-1 stead of always serving it in its ordinary guiac? Ringed toma-

Different Diets

WE don't get asked out much these days. Half our friends are on a

diet themselves-different dicts--and rofuse to cope with another vitamin. The other half are carnivorous and have hearty ap-, petites.

We must stop this thing soon unless we decide to end up as hermits. I am getting bad tempered with self-denial. A full stomachi maketh a merry heart. I know. A parterhouse stank, grilled mushrooms swimming in molled butter has become one of my major dreams. But Charles won't. His waistline is down three inches and his pride is awful to behold.
