Show '"IheldTCrm ' The first lesson of life Is to burn our ! own smoke; that is. not to Inflict on ; outsiders our personal sorrows and ' petty morbidness, not to keep thlnklnff '. of ourselves as exceptional cases. ( James Russell Lowell. : SALAD DRESSINGS. A salad dressing makes or mars a salad. Too little dressing or that which is so thin ethat It is unpleasant unpleas-ant to eat, should be avoided. There are any number of boiled dressings which are commonly used, but the savory sav-ory dressing especially es-pecially for vegetables Is the French dressing and the mayonnaise. These are both made with oil as the chief Ingredient. To make French dressing, which is the simplest form of salad dressing, iave the mixing bowl cold as well is the oil ; mix the condiments, using a half teaspoonful of salt, a few flashes of cayenne, six tablespoonfuli of oil and two to four of vinegar, depending de-pending somewhat upon the taste, the combination of foods, or the acidity of the vinegar. The ice is sometimes used as a mixing spoon by pressing a fork Into it or against it. Mix the condiments, add the oil and mix again, then add the acid, a few drops at a time, benting until nn emulsion Is formed. Another way to use this dressing dress-ing is to pour the oil over the vegetables, vege-tables, tossing until evenly mixed, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and add the vinegar and toss again. When a quantity of dressing Is needed need-ed it may be put into a mason jar all ready for mixing; put on the rubber cover and give It a good shaking to mix the dressing. Mayonnaise Dressing. Take the yolks of two eggs, beat well and then add a teaspoonful of mustard, a half feaspoonful of salt, a dash of red pepper, pep-per, a teaspoonful of powdered sugar hnd mix again ; then add oil, drop by drop, until it is very thick, when the acid may be added, also a few drops at a time; beat until a pint of oil Is used and two tablespoonfuls each of Jemon Juice and vinegar. After the dressing has used a cupful of oil, the oil may be added faster. Have all the dishes and ingredients cold and the dressing wdll not separate. If this should happen, start the process all over again, using fresh egg yolk, and dse the dressing to beat Into It as if Jt were the oil. Roquefort Cheese Salad Dressing. Make a French dressing by using nine tablespoonfuls of olive oil and four of vinegar, one and a half tea-Bpoonfuls tea-Bpoonfuls of salt, a dash of red pepper pep-per and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. When blended add three tablespoonfuls tablespoon-fuls of chili sauce and two tablespoonfuls table-spoonfuls of thick sweet cream. Put on Ice and chill. Just before serving add a fourth of a pound of Roquefort cheese, cut In fine pieces. This will perve ten people. It Is not the events of life nor Its emotions, nor this nor that experience, but life Itself which Is good. A thought. Rood or evil, and act. In time a habit, so runs life's law; what you live in your thought world that sooner or later you will find objectified In your life. Ralph Waldo Trin. FRUIT SALADS.
