WHAT SHALL I SERVET
All salad makers have their own
proportions of oil and vinegar Too
much Is not
wholesome - two
tablespoonfuls of
vinegar of the
usual strength to
live of oil Is a
good rule to fol-
low using salt
cayenne and other
sbasonings to taste
Thousand Isle Dressing — From the
number of salad dressings bearing this
name one must be mamed for each
Island The dressing la a simple
French dressing as above with the ad-
dition of chopped onion celery pe(-pers-wlth
some catsup In fact any-
thing may be added and named I
Thousand Isle dressing
Hellofolis Salad — Cut celery It
small bita and marinate In FYench
dressing Pare an apple and cut In
sixteenths then In thin slices and also
marinate Parboil a green pepper cut
In strips and let It stand In oil dress-
ing Peel small tomatoes and cut In
tulip form marinate them Then
serve each vegetable on separate let-
tuce leaves arranged on a plate and
garnish with the green pepper Or
the pepper may be served on a sepa-
rate leaf also
Asparagus tips cooked unttl tender
marinated in oil dressing and served
In a red or green pepper ring on let-
tuce make a most attractive salad
The flavor gives point to a salad It
must be subtle and elusive yet highly
satisfactory If the delightful element
caunot be identified so much the bet-
ter A slice of tart apple a suspicion
of mint a clove of garlic In fact the
true salad mnker Is hampered by no
preconceived notions
Bean and Nut Cutlets — Take two
cupfuls of lima beans one-half cupful
of black walnuts as they are richer In
fat than the English two tablespoon-
fuls of crumbs one of butter Rub the
beans through a sieve add the nuts
chopped salt and butter melted mixed
all together rolled In meat drippings
then tn crumbs Bake In a well-
greased pan

sadly at hta practise over ths caplna
suit that separates ths Ideal from ths

Danger In Hasty Reforms
Societary wrongs are deeply embed
ded In law and tradition and there-
fore they are not easily righted So
It Is wisdom to go slowly even when
going in the right direction lest
stumbling progress be retarded Re-
formers should try to avoid the waste
of haste
Equally Unprofitable

FTank and Florence may be more ardent or the night may he cooler and ha

Taken aa a - whole this class of spoonera la an interesting one for the

Specimens might even be secured and moupted A new fad! Let’s start It
Oh yea stranger those wide cool open green squares and triangles
known as the parks of Washington aje Inhabited In broad daylight we see
nurses and tiny children enjoying the protecting shade but at night — ah at
night — we do not see the denizens of the park who are enjoying the protect-
ing darkness How do we know there la any one there? We fall over them
Can any one venture Into Lafayette square or Franklin park or Lincoln
park or any dark place provided with benches these summer evening! with-
out feeling the presence of these amorous mortals who sit close together for
coolness and utter such gentle foolishness as "Uxxy-wuxsy umpume-tweet-heart”
for recreation? They are there and they are there to spoon Be ay re
to “fall over them” for the results are most amusing
It- la hard to get a satisfying glimpse at some of them Poor timid
things they fly far apart at the approach of a prowling squirrel and delude
themselves Into hoping that no one could ever gueaa that he had actually
gotten ao far aa to put hla arm around her Otbera are more experienced or

Says Capital Policemen Always Have Manners
(AF COURSE Pittsburgh may need a school of manners for her pollco
vl men as she does for some of her millionaires Washington policemen
have their mannera before they get on the force”
MaJ Richard 8ylvestei smiled
grimly as he read the dispatch from
the Smoky city reciting the frantlo ah
tempts being made to civilize the po-
lice Director of Public Safety C S
Hubbard the report said la going to
have classes where young cops will
learn to be kind to dumb drinkers and
ardent automoblllsts
' “How about a course like that
here?" was suggested to the major
’Teach policemen to cut out the rough
work with burglars and thugs and al-
ways apeak ge tly to second-atory workers"
The major pondered the Idea for a moment Then he branched off
"If we Waulngton policemen" said he “were In the habit of maltreats
ing citizens this town would be In a furore inside of twenty-four hours
About every third person In Washington la a diplomatic attach or a public
official
"Can you Imagine wbat would happen In thla city If the police forca
developed the habit of clubbing military attaches and chief of government
bureaus?"
The Interviewer passed the buck
"Tou see" continued the major “policemen In Washington have civility
preached them before they get on the force I believe that Washington
policemen have more tact than the police of any other city In the country
If they use too much force — get too tree with their cluba — they quickly ap-
pear before the trial board"
When Little Boy Met the “Man of Importance”
A MAN of Importance— you can always spot him by hla "air" — was favor-
ing the -Whit House neighborhood with- hla Stately tread when small
boy atopped him He was auch a tiny boy as to still be wearing whit kllta
and a ahtny red belt and he talked
with a baby Hep In hla outstretched
hand lay a dead sparrow
"Make him go — The child said
It aa Imperatively as If the Important
man were hie eery own daddy— T
picked him np and ha won’t go—
Make him fly — far"
To he requested to make an ex-
ceedingly dead bird fly la too much to
aak of any man of Importance
"Throw thnt thing back la ths
street How do you suppose I can
make It fly?" said the "Man of Importance"
"Wine him np Wlf a hoy — "
Perhaps he was an unfortunate man whose overlmportancrbmd hindered
him from an acquaintance with little children and wound-up toys tor ha
merely flung the proposition aside and resumed hla stately treading
And perhaps— again— he would have been ashamed of himself If he had
turned back and seen the tiny kid with the bird In hit outstretched palm
and on hla face the bewildered hurt at doubtless the Arab rebuff he had
ever received In all the four yearn of hta life
It la not a particularly brilliant achievement to bring tear to a child’s
eyes even from a human point of view but suppose—
Suppose It la really and practically true that— somewhere— the tears of
the Innocent are really counted against those who cause then to be abed!
Fishing for Pastime and an Incidental Income
FISHING ly a pastime and an Incidental Income or rather outgo with a
large number of the people of Washington Every traveler along the
sides of the rocky reaches of the river shove Washington has probably noted
the slgni "Balt for Sale" "Boats for
Hire" and other signs put up for tbs
benefit (perhaps) of prospective fish-
ermen There Is a little Industry though
at Georgetown to which the writer
means to call attention As the city
cart outbound reach ths Intersection
of Tbtrty-elxth and Prospect streets
or Thirty-sixth street and Prospect
avenue or at any rute the point
where soft drink signs are posted all
over the old 8outhworth cottage many
mall boy tempt passengers with masses of wriggling worms Thee boyt
In piping tones are saying "Fish worms" or "Fteah warms" ' They have
their merchandise in a battered tin can and they hold It eo that the mass of
qulrmlng worm wriggles partly In the can and partly In on of the hands of
the boy He la displaying hi wares and he wants to prove to you that the
worms have plenty of wriggle’ la them He baa a tangled knot of them In
one hand and he pleads with yon to buy them Fbr five or ten cents he will
let you have enough of them to feed all the fish that dally with your hooka
It may he that the fish esteem these worms that they look on them as deli-
cate morsels and that their appetite la piqued and tempted by them but
there Is no accounting tor tastes
Many fishermen pause it thla transfer point to boy halt from tk bag
and quite a thriving trade has been bulb nflu
Representative J Hampton Moore
who succeeded John Dalsell on the
ways and means committee while
hailing from Philadelphia knows hla
Washington Ilka a native During the
visit of a party of bom friends to
the capital Mr Moor was allowing
them the sights of the city and while
coming from the northeast entrance
of the Whit Houae ground their at-
tention was attracted by the group of
heroic figures that make up the La-
fayette statue at the southeast corner
of Lafayette square
Thla presents with other thing
a woman with a garment about her
loins — which ahe la frantically grasp-
ing — holding up a naked sword to
Lafayette who la itandlng above Her
attitude Is one of eager nay anxious
and Insistent supplication
As the party approached the stat-
uary group Representative Moore
truck the posture of a guide and In
the professional twang of the craft
droned out In alng-aong "And now ladles and gentlemen we come to the
far-famed statue of the great soldier and statesman Marquis de Lafayette
Below him la a woman In suppliant attlMde holding a sword Apparently-
she la speaking earnestly to him and—"
"But Mr Moore” Interrupted one of the ladlee of the party "what la
the woman saying to Lafayette?"
"That’s very plain If you observe the condition of her attire madam"
he replied “She’s begging him: ‘Here general take this quick while I
catch my clothes!’”
And thereafter the lady’s Interrogations ware wholly Impersonal!
Representative Heflin of Alabama
la a great believer In the return of
bread “cast upon the waters" and In
proof thereof relates a story of the
time when he had first entered poll-
tlce It seems that - about five mile
from the Heflin home a negro jubi-
lee of some sort was In progress and
was attracting hundreds of negroes
from all parts of the surrounding coun-
try One of those who wished to at-
tend the function and had driven
many weary miles was unfortunate
when he reached the vicinity of the
Heflin residence One of the wheels
on his buggy broke
The old darky had been told
where Representative Heflin's father
lived and probably also that the elder
Mr Hefllp had a sympathetic hearL
Therefore he went to the door and
asked the elder Mr Heflin who had a
blacksmith shop to let him borrow a
wheel for his broken baggy
The wheel was loaned and the negro went on hla way rejoicing
Some years later however when tha present representative had bees
persuaded to enter the race for the state legislature he saw the old darky
Mrv Heflin bad just come to tho end of a pause In a campaign speech whet
the wheel borrower arose In the back of the assemblage
"Ah’d Just lak to aak yo' one question sub Are yo’ the ton of Dr
Heflin?”
And when he had received an affirmative response from tho speaker of
the day the old darky continued: -
"Well den Ah lust wants to tell yo' one thing Ah never took dat wheel
hack to yo' father Ah Juat kept postponin' It and postponin' It and Ah gueaa
Ah 11 never see yo father again tn dla world an' bell never see dat wheel
But Ah'm golng’to tell yo now dla old man and hla three sons la a-gotn1 to
cast their votes for yo'" t
WRITING FOR A LIVING
Ambassador Walter H Page
peaking lately to the British authors
dwelt upon tho folly of writing for a
living From the standpoint of mere '
barnyard gumption ha said It la ab-
surd for anybody to atari out to spend
bis life trying to support himself or '
herself with the pen Aa the am-
bassador has been an extensive dealer
In literature aa a magaslA editor he
ought to be able to apeak with some
degree of authority on the subject
Hla testimony la In practical accord
with the great majority of those who
can apeak from the experience of an
author an editor or a publisher On
of the most successful women authors
pecuniarily considered at least was
Elisabeth Stuart Phelps In her auto-
biography ahe dwells on the subject
of authonhlp speaking from a wide
experience and her advice to persons
who are attempting a career of au-
thorship Is to the same effect aid
very much more pungent than that of
Ambassador Page She aeys: "Write If you must not otherwise"
