Eat More Salads; Its
A Patriotic Privilege
Not Only.Are They Healthful and Ap
petizing, but They Will Save '
Food Needed Abroad
:
WK have, .for year been urged
to eat more salads, beoauM
' ,of their 'health giving quail
tin. Theyiare whVesome, nt have
learned,' 4nd are therefore worthy of
much attention.
Thl year thero la another reason
why we should be especially, generous
in our self-allotment of salads. They
are a. patriotic food., "
Tlls I our second lummw of war,
and we ought to profit from- the mis
takes wo made as well aa from our
successes last summer. One of the) big
slogans "of "the VVred Administration
last summer, you remember; was "Hat
the pernnahies.1 We did eat some of
the perishables." But Just the same
there were tales afloat of fruit that
rotted on the ground and vegetables'
tli.it wero wasted. , ,
Now this year we want to begin to
think about the perishables early, and
wo want to cat them all. Eating
perishables instead of staples In the
summer is almost like releasing a man
for the front. It is storing up staples
for next winter or for overseas use. ,
All this to show why salads may. be.
considered as an especially patriotic
form of food. Salads are mode largely
of perishables or at least may be
made largely of perishables In summer.
Another thing: salads may be made In
such a way as to iitlllto all sorts of
leftovers.
Salad Twice at Day (
We can't eat salad three times a day
although in certain parts ot the
country lettuce and sliced cucumbers
or tomatoes for breakfast nro not un
usual. But we can eat salad twice' h.
day. And if wc do eat salad twice a
day we are surely gaining a good hold
on tlio food situation provided the
salad Is wisely planned.
If you can possibly diJ so, grow salad
greens In your own garden. Even if
you have no space or time for a war
garden of large proportions you can
cultivate a lettuce bed and a few
green pepper plants, with perhaps one
Vlant of tomatoes, and some parsley,
onions and radishes.
Try to get the lettuces, at any rate.
Tou can plant seeds and eat the ten
der leaves as. they grow to a suitable
size without attempting to head them.
Or you can buy- the little heads already
started and transplant tlirtn. and grow
them until they reach maturity.
llemember that fruits as well as
vegetables may bo used for summer
salads. Cherries make delicious salad.
tit or sour, red, white or black, they
all be, used. ,
e pits should be removed, and the
les may or may not bo filled
with more cherry or with a bit' of nut.
Dress the cherries with French dress
in?, made of oil and lemon Juice, or oil
and cherry Juice, If that Is tart. Lemon
Juice is always better than vinegar
for a fruit salad, for the fruit acid of
the lemon seems to blend better with
fruit than the acid of vinegar, espe
cially of the inferior vinegar that we
so often set nowadays harsh, sour
and puckering.
Peaches, too, cut In big chunks,
served on lettuce, and dressed with
Trench dressing, are good. Plums
may bo used for salad too, and cubes
of watermelon and muskmclon and
later on early summer apples may all
be concocted into delicious warm
weather salads.
When watercress Is plentiful that
may be used for the salad green. Like
fruit, it is better with lemon Juice in
the dressing than with vinegar.
War Time Dressing-.
Of course, fats of nil kinds are on
tho list of war foods that we are urged
to save. However, wo Rre not urged
to Rave fats at the expense of our
health, and that means that we must
eat a certain amount of them. The
vegetable fats arc not so much wanted
for transportation as the animal fats,
like butter and lard, so we may, with
s. free conscience, dress our salads
lavishly with oil.
If you like ollvo oil and can afford
It at' Its present price there is no
iraon why you should deny yourself
French or mayonnalso dressings made
HANDBAGS MADE AT HOME
SURELY we are In tho midst of a
great vogue for handbags. Wo
see them not only overrunning
tho counters of all tho shops, but wo
fee them in tho hands of every smart
woman. No woman who dresses well
nowadays blinks at tho importance in
her completo costumo of tho handbag
she carries.
It is not, of course, true that wo
must have a handbag for each frock;
but still we must have several hand-big-.
And as a plea for the saving
of leather Is coincident with a fashion
for handbags of silk, satin and velvet,
nny woman clever with the needle may
fashion her own bags, and so increase
the number that she may have for a
given expenditure.
There are two eneral ways of mak
ing handbags; One Is with a draw
string top; the other Is with a frame
cf some sort, on which the fabric of
the bar la hung.
Tho shops Mil now many tops to
which the tag may be easily attached.
There arc rings of various sorts and
sizes, frem the small rings of silver.
Just large snouth to slip easily over
the haml, to the very large rings of
bone or tortoles. that are almost large

with It. However, if you wish to you
cun use some of the other vegetable
oils peanut oil is much cheaper, and
Is much liked by many persons who
until lately had thought olive oil was
the only kind they would ever uso.
And there are wajfs of making may
onnaise dressing diluted with a foun
dation sauce of some sort. A good
white Rauce or drawn butter sauce
tnay be used. And, too, egg whites
.beaten very stiff may be added to fin
ished mayonnaise to Increase it bulk.
A little more seasoning must of course
be' used when any of these methods
Of increasing the bulk of the dressing
Plain garden lettuce can be served
three- pr four times a week for din
ner wltTfoUtitoo much monotony if
you learn., to vary the French dress
ing. A tablespoonful of tomato catsup
added to half a cup of dressing makes
a pleasant variation.
t Sometimes use vinegar of one kind
and sometimes use vinegar of an
other white nnd "brown, wine and
cider, with sometimes a dash ot tarragon.-
You can, too, if you like them,
make flavored vinegars by steeping,
for Instance, some chives in one little
bottle of vinegar, some capers In an
other some minced parsley or mint in
another. These flavored vinegars may
then bo used with delicious results in
making French dressing.
Chopped Vegetables Help.
?Tou can alsovary the plain lettuce
salad by adding' chopped vegetables of
various sorts. Chopped radishes
sprinkled over the lettuce leaves the
radishes uusklnned, so that they have
their bright red and white coloring
may be used. Chopped green pepper
or chopped onion and pepper, chopped
cabbage, chopped parsley or chopped
cucumber may all be used with French
dressing with very good results.
Cheese salads may be considered
highly economical, and the combina
tion of salad greens, cheese nnd some
sort of war bread makes a highly nu
tritious and satisfying lunch. One
good cheese salad Is made ot freshly
grated American cheese sprinkled gen
erousy over crisp lettuce, well mixed
with French dressing containing a lib
eral addition of paprika.
Pot cheese and cottage cheese, which
Mill skimmed milk and that Is one
thing we are urged to do, you know
and sour milk as well, can be fash
ioned into many delectable salads.
Little pats or cakes' of the cheese,
sprinkled with paprika, may be served
on lettuce leaves, with French dress
ing, or the cheese may be crumbled
over the lettuce.
One vegctnblo combination salad n
called Porto Rico salad, but it might
Just as well be named war garden
salad. Romaine lettuco is called for,
but any lettuce will do.
Lino a vegetable dish with the let
tuco and fill the middle of the bowl
with sliced green ptppers In rings, of
course sliced tomatoes, sliced cucum
bers and sliced onions. Onion Juice or
a clove of garlic rubbed on the bottom
of the bowl may be substituted for the
sliced onion.
.A good pepper salad consists of diced
green pepper and celery mixed with
mayonnaise and served in tiny lettuce
cups. Sweet red pepper may of course
be substituted for the green, and tho
color of the red pepper is of course at
tractive. Est for Luncheon.
Now that eggs are plentiful egg
salad forms one of the best of the
substantial luncheon salads.
One good one is made of hard boiled
eggs remember to cook the eggs Just
below the boiling point for half an
hour to have them digestible cut in
half and laid on slices of tomato or
lettuce leaves. Around each slice of
tomato and half of egg liy a ring of
sweet green pepper, mart simply by
washing and slicing the pepper.
Another good egg salad Is made of
hulves of egg whites from which the
yolks have been removed, filled with
diced beets and peas nnd mixed with
mayonnaise. Each egg half is propped
up in lettuce leaves nnd the egg yolks
are crumbled over tho whole salad.

llttlo clamp closings, and with rings
through which a cord or ribbon handle
.may be slipped. Frames of a similar
sort may be had In black and whlto
combination, and theeo are really
striking with black silk or velvet as
tho fabric from which they aro made.
Another sort of frame consists of
two whalebones as wide as the top of
the bag. Tho fabric is shirred to these
bones, and then they are covered with
a bias band of silk. They spring open,
of course, when you wish to get Into
the bag. '
If desired, a couple . of bill and
socket fasteners may be used for
greater security. And cords for handles
finish 'this bag. Bilk cord in. many
colors and different thicknesses may
bo bought by the yard, and tills Is th
most satisfactory handle. It la also
possible to get gilt and silver cords,

Tassels are sometimes used to finish
tha bottoms of the bags. Probably the
newest tassel Is the one trimmed with
the little colored wooden beads strung
on the silk strands or tne laasei.
Th colors usually crude, in green

there are probably several pho

So if you have a photograph of a

difficulty In getting a frame to suit it.
There aro tiny frames of locket like
proportions that may be carried about
and there are big frames for the wall
or table. In between, ot course, there
are frames of all sizes.
To begin with the smallest frame.
there are little gold lockets to be worn

RENAISSANCE PERIOD IN GREENWICH
By HARRIET SISSON GILLESPIE.

plete, homo folks who long
for their own vine nnd fig tree, jilus a
fireplace that burns, may satisfy their
domestic yearnings, for large numbers
of old houses of Colonial design In this
section are rapidly being converted
Into moaem apartments In which no
old time comfort Is lacking.
To bo sure, one's own vine may be
nothing more than the veriest scrap
of a window box, or at most a pocket
edition of n roof garden, and the
fig tree a private bush In a lattice en
closed yard no bigger than a minute.
but however diminutive they are re
plete with sentiment nnd suggestion,
enveloped In a glamour of romance
that comes from nothing so much as
tho mere sense of ownership.
And over all Individuality reigns su
preme. In this effort ut self-expression
li seen the revolt of tho Man
hattan flat dweller against tho sway
of Janitor and landlord. He hies him
self to Greenwich Village and appro
priates n chimney placo all his own.
The Greenwich villager may pulnt
tho front of his house In blzurro col
ors, take his tea In a coal cellar and
entertain his friends on tho floor of an
nttlc os'ho revels in the untrammelled
freedom of his new earthly paradise,
but, If you will notice, his eccentrici
ties begin and end with home, lie no
longer tnkes the shadow for the sub
stance, pinning his faith to a gas log
and the vagrant promises of a casual
dependent, but is monarch of his own
domain, drawing inspiration from his
own wood lire when und how he
pleases.
Cost of Arms for Village.
Tho arms of Greenwich Village
should be a back log sejant, a pair of
nndlrons rampant, with a trivet for u
crest, for the open fire has become a
religion In tho village. H Is tho key
to the problem of reconstruction nnd
the most insignificant of quarters
txinsts its grute, infinitesimal though
It may be, in the less fashionable sec
tions, but of Colonial dimensions in
tho more cxcluslvo environs of the
avenue.
But In all these rehabilitated grates
of halt a century ago the Important
point to the tenants Is that they ran
enjoy their cheering warmth as fancy
dictates, not as some Irascible Janitor
arbitrates. Therein lies the difference
between living in tho Village or "on
the upper West Bide." For tho new
Greenwich Village, like its predecessor,
is built on the rock of home comfort,
and It Is tho aim of tho residents to
preserve this domestic Atmosphere
where It already exists, or to create
It where none was before.
It was somo seven years ago that a
certain artist "discovered" Greenwich
Village and broke with traditions to
go there and live, A train of other
homesick folk followed and ensconced
themselves In quarters possessing the
advantage of comfort as well as econ
omy. Rut they took the last avail
able vantage point, so when another
influx of home seekers arrived they
found a dearth of accommodations and
tho migration received a distinct set
back. Those who lacked the persistence ot
their associates gave up tho search
and returned to their old haunts, dis
FOR YOUR SOLDIER'S PHOTOGRAPH
frames show two enamelled Rtars, pre
sumably for the pictures of two sons
or brothers In camp or trenches.
Tho most interesting frame Is the
one that is made for each arm of the
service a frame of khaki or of metal
with n band next the glass of the
colors that indicate the service. These
frames may be had in various sizes.
The easel frame is always best liked
by some women. And that, with doors
that fold over the plcturo enthroned
when it in not wished to show It, is
made with khaki cover. Of course,
there are many other frames of this
type without any military suggestion
thut are quite as appropriate for tho
soldier's picture.
Hand carved Italian frames, whether
in dull finish of the natural wood or in
tho soft painted colors that we often
wo in these frames, arc always suit
able setting for any photograph.
For the soldier there are many small
frames that may be folded into a com-
heartened and discouraged. Others
more diligent than the rest managed
to cling somehow to the fringe of the
enchanted district. Just recently cer
tain enterprising folk took up the task
of providing moro places In which to
live, with the result that a new Green
wich Village Is springing up before
your eyes. Best of nil, the reconstruc
tion is based on the needs of home
folks, not on tho flights of the builder's
fancy.
Itpclalniliiar the Old Houses.
To stem the tide ot disintegration
that threatened the Village us a placo
to live In" was no oasy task. But one
by one the old houses of tho neighbor
hood wero snatched back from oblivion
and reinvested with much of their old
time flavor. So now It i possible to
secure a room In nn old fashioned
bouse with n grate of nncient design
for (25 a month, or to enjoy the princely
delight of n duplex apartment, bidden
demurely behind a row of street dwell
ings, for the ridiculous sum of $53 a
month.
Invested with a plcturesqueness
quite foreign to Its source, tho new
Greenwich Village enjoys a character
all Its own. Lying on the edgo nf Lit
tle Italy, it Just naturally borrowed
something of the Latin's love of color,
tho kaleidoscopic effect of which is
highly stimulating to ces grown
weary of the gray monotony of city
streets. To tho French Influence Is duo
tho extensive use of that adorable
shade known as Trianon green, ami n
tribute to pre-Hevolutlanary fancies is
tho fashion for Colonial yellow.
In tho architectural anomalies that
have nrisen in responso to tho vil
lagers' domestic needs aro hints of tho
art ot many countries. In u stuccoed
wall embellished with wrought Iron
decorations Is seen a suggestion of
Spanish Mission; in tho Gothic details
superimposed on a modest Dutch dwell
ing the English taste. But whatever
tho adaptation, there runs through It
u II. like the warp nnd woof of n hand
woven design, that love of homo that
was brought over when the first Dutch
settlers from Holland settled New Am
sterdam. One of (be Masterpiece.
Theso old bouses have been re
modelled with such rare Judgment
and exquisite taste that none ut tho
homo charm Is lacking. Take tho
lovely Colonial house In West Twelfth
street, for example. Could anything
bo more delightful than Its white
hooded doorway upheld by slender pil
lars, its picturesque fan nnd sldn
light? or the Colonial yellow facade,
with its blue-green blinds and gnarled
wistaria vine clambering over tho
porch and framing tho windows?
To call such a house home, to enter
thnt hospitable portico nnd find that
tho Illusion lusts Is an experienco as
strange to tho typical Manhattnnite as
It Is delightful. The bouse Is a flno
typo of city dwelling, built about 1830,
nnd though long unoccupied, Is well
pieserved. H contains nil the rare
features common to bouses of tho
period,' nnd such decorative details as

retained to add their own Individual
note to the remodelled dwelling.
pact rpace and carried in the pocket.
These come In gold and silver, and
they come also covered with khaki.
And if you hove a soldier boy you
want one of these folding frames too,
so that whenever you go away from
home you may carry your soldier's
picture with you.
Wo all of us look on the photograph
worn conspicuously on a locket chain
or breastpin with a shudder of horror.
Usua'ly It is a very poor photograph.
But that Is what causes the shudder.
And yet we can understand the senti
ment that makes the fond mother,
wife or flnnceo weor her Sammy's pic
ture It: such n prominent position.
The closed or concealed locket solves
the problem for tho woman with more

Patriotic frames for soldier faces, lockets for neck chain or bracelet, and trench comforts com
bined with souvenirs for the soldier himself.
The old high stoop was torn away
to start with and the area trans
formed into n picturesque doorway,
reached by a herringbone brick walk
and flanked by high white settles. It
was the aim of the designer to re
tain the home atmosphere, nnd, bo it
said to his credit, from the time one
steps beneath tho white panelled door,
way until the top apartment Is
reached, not n false note Is struck.
The old brass knockers on the doors
with. In somo Instances, quaint side
lights, the candelabra with wind
shield and girandoles standing in the
niches on the stnlrs might well have
come from an ancestral home In New
Kngland. With ono exception, each
floor holds two apartments, which run
In prlrcs from $50 for two rooms, bath
and kitchenette on tho ground floor
up to $2,000 for nn entire floor
through. ,
Special Atlracllnat for All.
The natural attractions of tho bouse
havo been divided Impartially. If a
front suite rejoiced In an antique man
tel of rare design the corresponding
apartment In the rear was uwurded n
roof garden of unusual scope. In this
particular Instance the toot extension
used for the purpoio occupied n higher
level than the floor of the living room.
To obviate tho dlfliculty a small btnlr-
way was built.
Through French windows access Is
had to tho outdoor living room, which,
furnished with wicker under gay
striped awnings, comprises u feature
such as the most fortunate of city
folks might envy.
If the front room Is provided with
ono fireplace of Tudor design, the rear
rejoices In two of old fashioned brick
construction, the result of tho two
rooms being thrown together. The
lucky occupant of what win once the
kitchen Is thus able to enjoy the un
usual experience of toasting her toes
hefoie a lire In the original PtiUh fire
place adjoining the historic bake oven.
To the typical djed In tho wool flat
dweller nothing Is more appealing than
a duplex apartment. To enjoy the
freedom of two floors Is a Joy known
only to those who linve been con
demned to the use of ono. While such
an Ideal arrangement ln't common,
yet there nre prizes of this sort to be
found In tho Village, If you search
diligently for them.
In Washington place, for example,
which Is one of tho recent streets to
come under tho spell of the rejirvena
tor, n particularly charming model Is
to bo seen. The pedestrian would
have been attracted to this house by
no external beauty of fucado, for It
has nothing to recommend It except
tho cosiness peculiar to tho type,
which followed the quaint dormered
period and preceded by some years
the niid-Vlctorlau epoch when not only
architecture, but fashions generally
lupsed In artistic quality,
It Is only when after casually en
tering the American basement you
come upon a pleturenquo door at the
far cud of the passage decorated with
an old brass knocker thut a new ele
ment of Interest Is aroused. Tho door
opens to a tiny entry, to the right of
which is n pocket edition of a yard.
.Straight ahead is tho studio proper.
Beside It a spiral stairway runs to
some pleasant place aloft.
The studio, the width of the house,

her soldier's picture always, yet in so
Inconspicuous a manner that no one
need know it. When she wants to see
it all she need do Is to snap open the
locket ubout her neck or ut her wrist.
Tet when this Is closed there Is no
suggestion, save the tiny enamelled
star, ot Its content's.
It was the French soldier who first
wore tho wrist locket, and since he
found out Its value it has gained a
wider nnd wider placo In our liking.
It proves perhaps the most conven
ient frame for the small plcturo of the
soldier that one likes to have always
about.
Ono little novelty frame is made of
gunmutal. It really amounts to a
large locket and can bo worn about
tho nock, or by means of a little brace
thaj can be pushed out In the back it
can bu set up on tho dressing table or
desk.
For thn soldier who smokes there Is
a very attractive combination cigarette
case and pocket picture frame com
bined. It also has accommodations
for bills and change and is withal not
In tho least too cumbersome to slip
Into any soldier's pocket.
And speaking of cigarette cases,

Miss Jeanette Nichols, the artist,
now owns the house and lias restored
It to much of Its old time beauty. The
floors have been dlvldel to make
two apartments on each, which rout
from $75 to J100. In the days when
this house was built firewood was
plenty, for the chimneys are both
wide and deep, Now, with wood scarce
and high, the old fashioned llrep,ues
arc still alluring, nnd It Is pretty safe
to say that the tenant who has one In
her apartment will somehow get the
wood for It, even though she must
forego lKlh luxuries and necessaries
to Co It.
The back yard of this house has a

coloring to enliven ii. ;
Tho houfo of Cnllot has laid its im
press upon the uso of treo green for
everyday costumes. Tho Amerloan
women aro taking it up slowly, so It
Is well to advise them that green is a
peculiarly good color for tho Amer
ican summer.
There are sclentlstp who believe
that colors have an effect upon tho
health and temperature of tho "body
and tho depression or cnllvenment of
the mind. Nnturo loads the way in
providing green for tho summer us n
relief to the eyes and tho nerves, so,
knowing that, it Is well that the wom
en in America should follow the lead
of tha house of Callot and mako green
a constant companion from now until
October. '
Jade green is worn in the evening
nnd Is combined with black lace or

Tho fnshlon of cutting a neck scarf
In ono with the back or front of a
coat or cape has grown In popularity.
It Is an eccentricity which many wom
en do not like. However, It takes tho
place of any other kind of neckpiece,
and it envelops the chin In the man
ner that has become a general fashion.
Thero is a scarf of tulle attached to
the hat which winds around the chin
and hangs at the back, or there is a
thin scaif attached to tho coat. If
you nie fashionable ou take 'your
choice between the two, or you use one
forhe morning and one for the moro
formil afternoon hours. One thing
seems to be certain; that whether tho
blouse is cut high or low at the neck,
some extra material mut bo thrown
around the neck and chin to take away
the appearance of being decollete In
tho street.
Thero Is no strong contrast this
spring between the decollctagc for tho
street and that for the house. Tho
neck is wrapped with a scarf or veil
when one is in tho open air, and when
this appendage Is removed In tho
house It discloses to the observer thnt
the blouse or bodice Is cut In the deep
est squat e that women have wurn In a
centur ; that Is, deep for a day gown.
Women are seen at lunch at hotels
in gowns that nio cut exactly llko
those worn in our Colonial days. Thero
Is not even a line of white to keep tho
clotli from resting agninst tho flesh.
The effect is staitllng, but It Is new.
Tho house qf I'aquln Invented a bed
room ucgligeu that was cut llko a
medla'val garment with square sleeves.
It was made of satin, trimmed with
lace and fur. and slipped on over tho
head after tlm f.lshion of n Chinese
tunic. It was far moro modest and
becoming than the usual negliges
which Is open In front, and far mors
protective against chill airs.
Tho war workers who brought it
ovir from l'.iris as a novelty havo
found that It Is already copied In our
shops and sold at a third tho price
pild for It at the bouse of Riquln. It
is the now successor to the room robo
that b.is existed for over a century,
