When husband and 'wife are perfect comrades they do not meed others. Only the unhappy are .dissatisfied; we are supremely happy. If I had married 20 years ago in stead of six we would have nothing ?eft to wish for." 'DOG SACRIFICES ITS LIFE tLlttte Canine Makes Vain Attempt tc Save Owner In Burning House.

The food value of nuts ie beginning to be better appreciated, though many people have an idea that nuts are hard to digest. Nuts must be thor oughly masticated in order to be di gested, and that is one reason why, after improper eating, they cause dis tress. Pecans which are browned in a bit of butter, salted and then seasoned "with a dash of red pepper are a de licious accompaniment to any dinner. Nats and fresh mushrooms are a combination worth trying. Saute two tablespoonfuls of chopped onion and a half cup of mushrooms in four table spoonfuls of butter. Cook for five minutes, then stir in two tablespoon fuls of flour, cook un+11 smooth and add salt, pepper and a half cup of milk; stir and cook for five minutes, then add a cup of chopped nuts either walnuts or pecans. Serve in ramekins or on buttered toast. ' Delicious Nut Potatoes.-Here is something to try on your best friend: Choose rather small, even-sized pota toes, cut off the end and grease all over with" olive oil. Bake in a hot oven, and when well done remove and carefully scoop out the inside from the cut end of the potato; mash this and season well with salt, cream, or melted butter; add a half cup of chopped nuts, beat until light and puffy; then fold in the beaten whites of two eggs. Refill the shells with this, return to the oven to reheat and brown on top. An Attractive Salad.-Arrange head lettuce in individual salad bowls, place a few slices of cucumber in the head, sprinkle with chopped nuts (even pe cans are good for this salad), a sug gestion of minced onion or the juice added to the French dressing with which this salad is served. Prepare the dressing by using one part of vin egar t? three of oil, mix well, add a half teaspoonful of salt to each three tablespoonfuls of oil, a", dash of ta basco and a little Worcestershire. A pretty way to .serve nuts and cel ery is to heap the nuts in the center of a plate and arrange stalks of ten der celery stuffed with seasoned cream cheese radiating from the nuts. OOK only at the bright side of life, talk only of good quail- [ ties in others, and think of those things j that are lofty and true. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. When a delicious cake for an Im portant occasion is needed, here it is: Brownies Delight-Make four lay ers of rich white cake and put them together with the following fillings: Make boiled frosting of four cups of sugar, the whites of four eggs, cook ing the sugar until it hairs. The frosting may be made in a large plat ter and then divided .into four parts. Into the first part put a grated co coanut and the pulp of an orange rubbed through a sieve; spread this on one layer. Into the second portion put a cup of chopped hickory nut meats, a cup of chopped raisins and a tablespoonful of grated chocolate. Put on the third layer and cover with the frosting in which a cup of chopped almonds and a cup of shredded citron is mixed. On the top layer put the plain frosting. A very small portion of such rich ness would go a, great ways. The lay ers are, of course, large in size. Orange Dessert.-Cut very fine half a dozen juicy oranges, pile in a pretty bowl, cover with a sirup made of su gar, water and a little lemon juice boiled together and set away to cool. Before serving, pour over the sirup and cover with sweetened whipped cream. Cocoanut may be used if cream is not obtainable. Baked Mun hr J m G.-Select large firm mushrooms, peel and place cup side up on strips or rounds of toast, season with butter, pepper and salt, and bake in a hot oven; baste with butter and serve on the pieces of toast Mushrooms cooked in a little butter and making their own sauce are deli cious served with a plain omelet Mushrooms a la Creole.-Put four tablespoonfuls of olive oil in a baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, finely chopped parsley and thyme. Lay in large peeled mushrooms, pour over more oil, cover with crumbs and seasonings, and bake in a hot oven Mushrooms broiled and served on buttered toast are a delicious break fast dish.
