Woman*s World By MAIR M. MORGAN *A Woman's Place la In tha Homt.* S/ Fish For Salads. A fish salad does not necessarily meaa canned' fish. Canned fish does make delicious salad, and some should always be kept ready for thus use. but excellent salads may be made from boilod or steamed tish and, indeed, from any left-over dish. There are two waya of making' a Bsh salad. One Is to place a portion of fish on a plate and flank it with aliced cucumbers, lettuce, etc., and then put a .spoonful of salad dressing on the side. This is perhaps the popu- lar way, designed to serve "eye ap- peal" â€" and it accomplishes this very thing. It looks deliciou.s. But the proof of the salad, like the pudcing, is always in the eating. And the dish just described will be disap- •pointing. Each item on the plate is â- unseasoned, innocent, even of salt, â- which reduces the whole plateful to flat insipidity, and the small size of the plate makes impossible any satis- factory mi.ving of the dressing and ealad materials. You sigh, then sprinkle little salt around, getting too much here and not enough there, put a forkful of the salad in the dressing and eat it without zest, meditating on the waste of fine materials when -"dressed" only for eye appeal. This dish was once served to a Frenchman afa hotel. When the sal- ad came, Moonsieur, an epicure, looked at it. It â- ivas not necessary for him to taste. He knew. He called the waiter and the head â- waiter and tlie salad was removed. In B minute or so it was brought back. It did not look as well. Salad never does â- when mixed. But it had taste and flavor. * The mi.\ing bowl had been rubbed 'â- with a cut clove of garlic, the lettuce ehrecided, the tomatoes and cucumbers cut. and the fish flaked. It â- was then Baited and mixed with a mayonnaise dressing (made with oil) until eaeb leaf cr portions was marinated in dressing and lemon juice to taste. It â- was redeemed from a flat, insipid sal- ad to a triumph of deliciousness and piquant relish. "Eye appeal" should always play lecoud part; taste first. Youp Diet perhaps there is no time of year when the appetite is eo jaded and la- need of healthful stimulants to a natural hunger as in the spring time. The foods which were perfectly legitimate for us to eat when we need- ed energy for resisting cold should be put aside and fruits, vegetables, cheese, eggs and- fish used in abund- ance. Tart foods such as grapefruit and rtubarb are especially desirable since they have a tendency to whip the ap- petite into action. Pickles, usually bonsidered indigestible and taboo, are lound valuable for their piquancy and lippetlte provoking qualities. Lemon sauces, tartar sauces and horseradish sauces whet the appetite and add food value to the meal. Foods rich in iron will do . much to overcome "spring fever," and •hould be used freely. Watch Iron Supply. A study of many dietaries shows them to be lacking in iron, carefully ^elected though they may be. Too little Iron In hlood and tissues causes them to misbehave. The external Indications of this Internal "misbe- haviour" are apparent in poor color, llstlessness and lack of vigor â€" "spring fever." Spinach has the highest Iron con- tent of any of the vegetables and of course Is rich In vitamins, but there are other spring vegetables that •re splendid sources of mineral salts and vitamins. Dandelion greens, beet greens, mint •nd asparagus are in season and offer variety. Radishes, spring onions and carrots are valuable raw foods and should be used frequently. Endive Spring Favorite. Endive with Its slightly bitter taste Is relished at this time of year and new cabbage with a lemon dressing la preferred to the rich cream dress- ling of the â- winter months. Fruits and vegetables must be re- lied upon to furni.sh the necessary Iron ijratiis a!ul kopp the body "fit". Bulky foodi that will give the diges tive tract Its much needed exercise are essential. Nearly all fruits and vegetables are mineral rich foods and have a decided tonic-like effect. Sunday School Lesson i>»>>»»»»«>»>>«*t»<>^ FUR RUGS Motor rug sand cushions which are made ot fur should not be overlooked during spring-cleaning, as such ar- ticles harbor dust, which is not pro- perly removed by brushing. Take the articles out of doors on a fairly w^indy day and beat them thoroughly. Then rub them all over with hot bran, pene- trating right to the skin. Clean one small portion at a time,. leaving the bran on the fur for a time; then beat again and leave out In the wind for several hours. After this treatment the fur rug.s or cushions will be clean and fresh. PARSLEYâ€" SPRING TOUCH. It Is a good Idea always to keep a bowl of chopped parsley on the kitchen table when you are preparing a spring meal. Almost everything you serve can be garnished with the bright green leaves and they go far toward toning up languid appetites. BABY'S "PLAYGROUND." It Is an excellent idea to cover the sides and bottom of the baby's play pen with oil cloth. Oil cloth is eas- ily washed with soap and water and, in gay colors, presents a very cheer- ful appearance. PLAIDS rOrt siTYLE. Plald silk dresses are smarter than printed ones this spring. Many of them, have jackets of solid coders, and It Is very chic to have a jacket of the same colored plaid In larger squares. IN COOKING MEATS. Tough meats will be made tender by adding a teaspoon ot lemon juice to water In which they are boiled. London Tennis Courts Feature New Fashions London, Eng. â€" Miss Mary Heeley and Mrs. Whittlngstall (Eileen Ben- nett) have started-the lawn tennis sea- son with sensational dress fashions. Mary Heeley led the way. She ap- outfit designed for shoulder freedom, outfit resigned for shoulder fredom, held up by cross straps. People cran- ed their necks to see. Photographers snapped Mary and her shoulders a hundred times. Then came the popular Eileen to the Paddington tournament at Maida Vale, and showed Mary ho^w the thing really should be done. She appeared with her back con slderably bared, and nobody can say but that she was greatly admired. It Is thought highly probable that the Heeley-Whittingstall lead will gather adherents. IMode That Failed. This march in clothes emancipation became pronounced two years ago, when, after the bare-legged brigade had almost won the day, Seuorlta Al- varez appeared at Wimbledon in wide- ly cut, umâ€" pantaloons, a kind of di- vided shirt that suddenly went all trousery down to the ankles. The fashion did not catch on. Next year Miss Tomblin appeared at Chiswick in shorts and a s^weater^ But shorts did not become popular. Men are taking to shorts. Brame Hlllyard has worn them for years with a linen cap to match. "Bunny" .\ustln has taken to them recently. One prominent player has started on the road to bare-backs for men. He has gone In for a one-arm shirt-^ left arm cut short above the elbow, as usual, right arm cut right oft at the neck and shoulder.

THE PREACHER .\.MD TH.: PROFITEERS, Mark 11: 15-18. Introductionâ€" Into the strong- hold of his enemies Jesus was now about to enter. Holding nothing back, he had .submi tev. himself to his Fath- e-'s will. That submission brought him to the gates of Jerusalem â€" Jeru- salem that had slain the prophets. He, himself, expected no other fate. I. THE PRINCE OF PEACE, Mark 11:1-11. .A.fter the long ascent from Jericho, (Mark 10: 46), Jesus and those who went w'ith him arrived at the Mount of Olives, within three miles of Jeru- salem. Standing on its rocky prom- ontory twenty-five hundred feet above sea-level, the holy city was about fifteen miles from Jericho. Across the Valley of Kedron it lay, now thronged with pilgrims arriving for the Passover. Jesus now completed his preparations for ' a solemn and conspicious entry to the citj-. From Bethany, where he lodged for the next few days, he sent to the neighboring village, probably Bethpage â€" whicii was not more tha.i a mile from the cityâ€" for the colt, Mark 11: 2. We may assume that he had arranged the matter with thj o^wner beforehand. He was able to tell the disciples where they would find the colt, and to give them the necessary password, v. 3. "And straightway he -Rill send him hither" is a p.omise that the Master will return the animal promptly, as soon as he has finished with him. The picture we so often give of Jesus as a man going up to his death deserted by all but a few faithful friends, his popularity completely gone, is not correct. The Master en- tered .Jerusalem on^ a tremendous wave of enthusiasm. On his way from Galilee he had moved leisurely, halt- ing here and there to preach, teach and heal. His followers had doubtless thrown out hints that he might prov.2 to be a greater man than any one suspected, greater even than John the Baptist or Elijah. He was thus sur- rounded by an atmosphere of excite- ment which grew more tense every day. The Galilean pilgrims, knowing: that he was on his way, would wait for him on the Mount of Olives. There they formed a procession. They cut branches from the wayside trees and together with their garments, carpet- ed the road as he rode along on the ass which the unknown friend in "the neighboring village" had provided. As they went along, they sang a triumph- al hymn, vs. 8-9. Why did Jetus, who had always avoided parade and self-advertise- ment, enter Jerusalem as the chief figure in a shouting procession? One reason was "that he knew that his ene- mies -were waiting for him in the city. The danger to be most dreaded was a secret attempt on his life. If he en- tered Jerusalem as an unnoticed pil- grim, it â- would be easy to assassinate him. If he must die, he would die openly, in the sight of the world. Also, by surrounding himself with publicity, he would be able to avert the end until he had time to make his mission plain to the multitude. Later events show tlearly that what protected him for the few days he had still to live was the continuous presence of his enthusi- astic supporters. See Mark 11: 18; 12: 12: 14: 1, 2. Another reaso i was that Jesus had resolved to assert his Messianic claim. Jerusalem at the Passover was the place and the time. He had no rea- son to hope for anything but death. Therefore he must take precaution to ensure that he would die not only pub- licly, but in hii; true character as Mes- siah, not of war, but of peace. Therefore, not on a horse, the s>Tn- bol of military power, but on an ass, the symbol of peace and service, would he proclaim the nature of his king- ship. Did the prophecy of Zech. 9 : S com© to his mind? Only the few whom he had taken into his confidence would understand the meaning of the act. The others, as we gather from their songs (vs. 9, 10), thought of him only as the herald of the kingdom. Some- time they, too, would understand that humility, love, service can conquer the world of material power. II. THE preacher and THE PROFITEERS, Mark 11: 15-18. Next morning Jesus did that which sealed his doom. He drove out of the Temple the ill-gotten gain by which it flourished. It was a sweeping de- nunciation of the religion of his time. Religion had bjen commercialized. Every worshipper was expected to offer a sacrifice. For this purpose droves of animals, cages of birds, were ah/ays on hand. These victims had to be purchased with money specially A Jumper Suit Practical and Smart By HELEN WILLIAMS Illustrated Dressmaking Leaitun Fur- nished With Every Patttrn That bow!

Drapery in Art Drapery, as such, is always ignoble; It becomes a subject ot interest only by the colors it bears, and the Im- pr^fsslons It receives trom some for- eign form or force. All noble drap- eries, either In painting or sculpture (color and texture being at present our of our consideration), have, so far as they are anything more than necessities, one ot two great func- tions; they are the exponents of mo- tion and of gravitation. Thejr are the most valuable means of expressing past as well as present motion In the figure, and they are almost the only means of indicating to the eye the force of gravity which resist such mo- tion. The Greeks used drapery in sculpture for the most part as an ugly necessity, but availed themselves ot It gladly in all representation of action, exaggerating the arrangements of it which express lightness In the mater- ial, and follow gesture In the person. The Christian sculptures, caring littl» for the body, or disliking It, and de- tending exclusively on the counten- ance, received drapery at first conten- tedly as a veil, but soon perceived a capacity ot expression la It which the Greek had not seen or had despised. The principal element of this ex- pression was the entire removal of agitation from what was so pre-emin- ently capable ot being agitated. It fell from their human forms plumb down, sweeping the ground heavily and concealing the feet; while the Greek drapery was often blown away trom the thigh. The thick and coarse stuffs of the monkish dresses, so ab- solutely opposed to the thin and gauzy web ot ancient material, suggested simplicity of division as well as weight of fall. There was no crushing or sub- dividing then. And thus the drapery gradually came to represent the spirit of repose as It before had ot motion,, repose saintly and severe Thus treated, drapery Is indeed noble; but it is an exponent of other and higher things. As that ot gravita- tion it has special majesty, being lit- erally the only means we have of fully representing this mysterious force of earth (for falling water is less passive and less defined in its lines). So, again, in sails it is beautiful because it receives the forms of solid curved surface, and expresses the force ot an- other invisible element. â€" John Ruskin. in "The Seven Lamps of Architecture." coined for the Temple. The money- changers were charging oppressive rates of exchange. "The religious au- thorities winked at the way in which the money was made for the sake of the revenue. Jesus saw that, his first act of authority must be that of driv- ing the profiteers out of the church. His flaming anger ovei-whelmed them. They fled from the place. The heedless pedestrians, usi.ig the Outer Court as a short-cut fivm one side of the city to the other, he ordered to keep to the street, v. 16. Challenged by the enraged author- ities, Jesus denounced the institution that neglected to take notice of in- justice and anti-social business prac- tices. The word "thieves" (v. 17) suggests a more serious charge. The Temple had unintentionally become a place of refuge for any Jew who had injured a Gentile. Gentiles dared not enter the sacred precincts on pain of death. These traders were there, at least some of them, because it was the Only spot where they could escape the vengeance of those whom they had wronged. "Out with them!" .?aid Je- sirs. In driving out the profiteers who helped to make religion prosperous, in daring to assert his own authority, Jesus sealed his fate. Underweight Bread Niagara Falls.

Sunshine Nursery School Opened by Ishbel MacDonald A sunshine nursery school in which each child has an overall bo match the color scheme of its classroom has been opened by Miss Ishbel MacDon- ald, daughter of P:-emi:r MacDonald, at Sakaire. Shipley, Eng. The school, which is claimed to be the best-equipped in England, cost $30,000, and has accommodation for 120 infants between the ages of two and live. Eadi of the three classrooms has its own color scheme. The furnish- ings are green, yellow and blue re- spectively, matching the paintwork. The rooms are heated by a panel in the ceiling. The walls are glass. Two bathrooms are walled with glass tiles, one of them being equip- ped with a special shower bath from vhich the water falls in a gentle rain- like spray at a controlled ten\pera- ture.

Exercise Effeci^ on Human Beings Evolution of Mechanized So- ciety Brings About Changes in Physio- logic Functions The evolution of a mechanized *>• clety, about which so much is heard at the present time, has brought about changes In the physiologic func- tions of the man ot today as well as tu hla economic relationships, says The Journal ot the American Medical Association. "Hard physical work, once the lot ot the majority of people. Is gradu- ally being relegated into the category of the less usual experieuces ot dally lite," continues the writer. "As a con- sequence the bodily conditions for- merly resulting so largely from mus- cular work as a part ot the custom- ary routine ot living are now being developed through voluntary exercise and athletics. It has be^n stated that athletics consist ot physical exercise plus more or less of emotional exer- cise, while work la likely to involve less and less ot the emotions. "A modicum ot muscular effort â€" ot work â€" has always been regarded as wholesome to the healthy organism. There is a widespread belief that cer- tain physiologic advantages and desir- able bodily changes are attributable to physical exercises and training. How real are they, and what is their na- ture? An elaborate discussion of these questions has recently been pre- sented by A. H. Steinhaua of the Young Men's Christian Association College ot Chicago. "As he points out. Increases in mus- cle size, strength and endurance ar« probably among the best recognized chronic effects \.i muscular exertion. One cannot proceed far in the consid- eration of the contractile tissues -with- out being brought face to face wiih the problems ot their blood supply; for through this the removal of waste and the replenishment of energy alona can be Insured. The Inter-relatlonship between the skeletal muscles and tht circulatory apparatus seems to hav« been recognized by the discovery ol the circulation of the blood. In 162S, Harvey wrote: " 'The more muscular and powerful men are, the firmer their flesh; tht stronger, thicker, denser and more fib- rous their hearts, the thicker, closer and stronger are the auricles and ar- teries." Haldane once remarked that the circulation and respiration may be looked on as the servants ot the muW cles. Today there are added factor* that call for recognition: Chemical changes la the blood, adjustments ot the respiratory functions, involve*' ments of the endocrine organs, and new co-ordinations in the ner\'Ous sys.' teni. It has been stated that tlt« greatest and more la.sting changes in- duced by training in man and animal, namely, changes in behavior, tak« place In the nervous system. ' 'If the thesis that exercise increase* the capacity of the organism to per- form work, is accepted, it becomes ia- teresting to consider the "interlockia^ division ot responsibilities' tor thia general outcome. The physiologist Lindhard recognizes improvements in strength, in endurance and in surenesj ot perfection ot movement, and he at- tributes them in general to changes ia the muscular system, respiro-circuia- tory system and nervous system, res- pectively. ".\ccording to Steinhaua, increase ia strength is no doubt primarily associ- ated with the hypertrophy of muscU in which largely the sarcoplasm parti- cipates. Too little Is known of the way in which chemical energy Is transform- ed into mechanical energy in the mu»« clo to speculate on how the chemical changes observed in muscle contribute to the increase ot strength.
