._€____.€____ ORIGINAL FILLING FOR. LUNCIIEON SANDWICHES

How many of us are sometimes so busy that we do not wrlxlt to lose precious moments by going to a restaurant or to the club 101' lunch. Sandwiches made at home may be substantial and nourish- ing. Here are some new ideas for them:

Corned Beef a la Mode Sond- wiches-—Put a few thin slices 0f cucumber on slices, of blltteled bread, over this place a thin S1160 of the meat, smear with mustard and cover with the other pzece of buttered bread.

Chutney makes an excellent flavoring for a. sandwich, especi- ally with either ham or eggs. Ham and Chutney Sanwiches. -Put n

Hard-boiled Egg and Pickled Walnut Sandwich. “Chop up the pickled walnuts together with a hard-boiled egg. season with salt and use the mixture as e. filling for the buttered bread- Brown bread goes well with the walnut in this sandwich.

Devilled Cream Cheese Sand- wich.-Mix some cream cheese thoroughly with plenty of must- ard. some vayyenne pepper and salt. Use this on plain bread as the filling. Curried Egg Sand- wiches are a change 110111 1115 usual egg sandwich.

Juice. 59mm on plnln bread, brown for preference.

Lastly, here is a savoury tit-bit that everyone likes.

Curried Biscuits —Butter some cheese biscuits and put o. good plneh of curry powder and Va llt- tle salt on each. Fry the blscults for a few minutes in hot butter. basting them carefully. Henlove from the pan and they will be- come dry and crisp when cold.

Only girls with extremely shzet locks can rinse their hair under the shower after each swim. The rest of us, providing we want glos- sy locks and not straw-like, ‘strmgy strands when summer days are over, must take steps to alleviate the drying effccts of water and too mueh hot sun- shine.

One famous group of hairdres- sers suggests that tonic be mas-

into hair and scalp before each swim. Not just any tonic will do, however» You ought to get one to suit your particular scalp eon- ditlon.

Incidentally, the average head doesn't get nearly enough air and sunshine. When your shampoo at home, always dry your hair in the open air. In addition. whether you go bathing on the beach or not, you ought to try to sit in the sunshine for at least an hour each day. It's good not only for hair, but for tired nerves and aching muscles.

Remember that salt water and bits of sand which force their way under the edge of your bathing cap choudn't be left to dry.

They bank up their pos

There are weak spots in both of these theories. The main one in the cradle-snatching contention ls that marrying e. boy husband adds an almost lnsuperable risk to matrimony, since no one can tell how he is going to turn out, or what he is going to develop into, or whether his wife will want him or not after he is gmwn up. Nor is- he as pliable and ad- aptnhle and amenable to discipline as a. woman hefools herself into think- ing he will be. There is nobody else on earth so cocksure that he is solo- mon es n. boy. Nobody so determined to do his own way. Nobody so selfish and inconsiderate of the rights of others.

On the other hand, while the middle-aged or elderly husband is a safe bet as a good provider, there are other aspects of the case that are not so desirable. For one thing, he is e, little shopworn. Whatever rom- nllce and sentiment he started out with has lost its freshness and luster and is frazzled around the edges, and life with him i8 likely to be a steady diet of plain roast beef and boiled potatoes. and done everything and seen everything and wants to step out and isn't satisfied to stock marker, and complain are as firmly fixed as wife who does got

He hns been everywhre he can't understand why a wife sit at homo and hear him grumble about the about his rheumatism. And he has habits that the Rock of Gibraltar, and he can never understand why a her own work can't cock like a. chef and give him the service that he at a first-class club or hotel. '

so, being as how both youth and age have faults that are peculiarly their own, if a girl is picking out a husband by his age, her best choice is thn happy medium between the two. Say around the thirties, a. little on the twenty side. perhaps. That is the ideal time for a man to nan-y. bcnuse at that age he is young enough to be fiery and romantic and ard- ent, and yet old enough to be a. good husband and to many for keeps in-

stead of the passion of the moment.

marriage a success,
