It realljseemed extra vagant, but after all it was worth it, seeing what Sam had done for us. The only thing that disturbed me was the grin on Sam's face.

OTHER WAYS OF GETTING AWAY WITH 'EM , wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMmm BY CAROLINE COE Watermelon cold, sweet and juicy doesn't it make you cool to think of it? There are many new fangled ways of serving watermelon, but none quite equal the old one. Cut the melon through its equator, then slice from center to end of melon. But there are other ways, for in stance: Watermelon Cubes in Cups Cut cold melon in inch slices, carefully remove seeds, rind and white ring, cut slices into inch cubes and put into ice cold sherbet glasses and serve at once. Cpiced Watermelon a la Milwaukee Cut the melon in half from stem to flower end. Cut out the red center with a tablespoon taking care to keep pieces even in size and shape. When shell is empty drain out water and seeds and fill shell with the pieces of melon. Mix one-half tablespoon of ground cinnamon with half a cup of sugar and sprinkle over the pieces of melon. Place shell on platter in bed of ice and send to table. Serve melon, in low sherbet glasses and small fork. Watermelon Salad Melons that are not rich in sugar may be used in salad. Be sure the melon is ice cold; cut away tiny balls from the red heart and pile balls on leaf of lettuce; serve with sweet French dressing made by putting four tablespponfuls of oil into bowl, and even teaspoonful of salt and two even tablespoonfulsof sugar, juice of one lemon and beat until like cream; add dash of nutmeg and turn over melon balls. Do. not prepare salad until just ready to serve. o o When food burns quickly seize the kettle or pan from the fire and set into a larger pan of cold water. This will cause the steam to escape from I the outside, instead of passing up ward through the food.
