THE SUMMER DIET
L*Y ABIGAIL MOORE.
j While the menu at all times should be
j simple and varied and composed of a
few v.holeaome. Tie!! cooked foods, it is
| n;:-iici:larly urged in the summer time.
I r n?. with more leisure and a greater
| varirt ? ?') sflect from, the temptation to
I overeat 's strong.
Cr i vegetables and fruits have a
dirr^* remedial value which it is much
j more worth while to know about ami to
j experiment with than to he trying out
i different drugs. Certain foods yield a
) certain amount of nourishment equal to
certain other foods, and by understanding
this it is possible to obtain the variety
of seasonable foods that is required, for
nature demands change. No one can
be healthy for long on a too monotonous
diet.
For instance, it is useful to know that
green peas are equal in nourishment
value to the same amount of meat stew,
and are an excellent substitute for warm
weather: that brussels sprouts equal
flounder in food value; celery, strawber
ries. lettuce, cabbage, rhubarb, tomatoes
and cranberries are relative to beef soup;
apples to pea soup or the white of an
egg; shell heans to fish, navy beans to
duck, turnips to beef tea. apples to
chicken soup, oranges, lemons or onions
to tomato soup, pineapple to buttermilk,
sweet potatoes to venison or kidney, car
rots and watercress to the canned green
beans one has in winter, and onions,
grapes and oranges to potatoes. An
ounce of butter is equal to three raw
ribs of beef
Radishes are' hard to digest, as also
are brussels sprouts, artichokes, sweet
potatoes, carrots, spinach. cucumbers,
cauliflower, cabbage and eggplant, and
consequently should be well masticated.
Otherwise they tend to produce flatu
lency. On the other hand, asparagus,
baked potatoes, peas, be&ns, string beans,
onions, beets, squash, parsnips, tomatoes,
cooked or raw, and most of the frufcts
are readily digested, provided, of course,
they are properly cooked.
Haw onions, if they agree with one, are
splendid for clearing the complexion, as
is asparagus for cleansing and toning up
the stomach and liver. Strawberries are
apt to cause a rash, and blackberries
should be indulged in but sparingly ex
cept where there is a tendency to lax
ativeness. Apples and rhubarb are in
valuable in complexion making.

ed, also all salted flsh and bluefish and

sweet foods. Persons inclined to be un
duly thin should find a sufficient variety
in them, although the list might be sup
plemented with milk puddings, a reason
able amount of pastry, plenty of cream,
hard-boiled eggs and bananas. Liquids
should be taken freely with meals by the
thin person and correspondingly avoided
by her of over-avoirdupois.
The value of a milk diet has been
greatly overestimated. Flesh thus gained
disappears as readily as it is acquired.
Nourishing, seasonable foods, well cooked
and well masticated, taken with regu
larity, sums up in a nutshell the secret
of good digestion.
A PERENNIAL GARDEN
I Perennials are the plants which live on
year after year, when once started,
throwing out their blossoms in profusion
each season and demanding only a min
imum of care. They are altogether the
best plants to grow in a permanent gar
den. but most kinds must be started a
year ahead if they are to be grown from
seed. The seeds may be sown up to the
middle of summer, if a little care is
used. Perennials are Just as easy to grow
as annuals; the only difference Is that
the plants require more time to reach
the blossoming age. Among the most de
sirable sorts are foxgloves, larkspur, gail
lardia, pyrethrum, Canterbury bells, grass
pinks, Shasta daisy, hollyhocks, coreopsis,
columbine, bellis (English daisy), baby's
breath and forget-me-nots. Some of these
will bloom the first season if planted
early, but all will make good plants for
next year.
When starting perennials out of doors
a seed bed, which has been dug over
until mellow and fine, is needed. It need
not be large, for a great many plants can
be started in a few square feet of earth;
but it is best located in a spot which is
paVtly shaded. If natural shade is not
: available, a screen may be made by con
structing a light frame and covering it
I with muslin or cheesecloth. It is well to
] have the bed raised three or four inches
I above the level of the garden, and the
surface should be as fine as repeated rak
ing can make it If necessary, the top
soil may be put through a coal sieve to
make it fine. Another plan Is to shake
the earth from the bottom of sods over
the bed. The method does not matter, so
long as a smooth, finely pulverized layer
of soil is obtained for the reception of
the seeds, many of which are very fine.
Then, if the bed is located In a warm and
sheltered spot, the seeds will germinate
quickly and the young plants make strong
growth before winter comes on.
Before sowing the seeds it Is well to
make little furrows with the end of a
Summer Is a good season to try out
vegetarian dishes and to make the most
of the many vegetables ?with which
nature provides mankind. No matter
how firmly you believe in the efficacy of
meat aa a muscle and brain builder, you
must admit that It should be sparingly
used in the summer. Vegetables can be
made to form the biggest part of the
menu In its place.
Cucumbers and nuts can be concocted
Into a delicious dish. Boll an onion for
five minutes, drain it and mince it. Add
to it three ounces of chopped nuts and
tne diced pulp of one tomato. Vry this
mixture in an ounce of butter for ten
minutes. Cook an ounce of fine bread
crumbs, half a gill of milk and a half
ounce of butter, and stir to a paste. Mix
It with the fried nuts and vegetables and
rub smooth. Season with salt and pepper
and add a minced hard boiled egg. Thinly
peel a couple of good sized cucumbers
and split them lengthwise, removing the
pulp. Mix some of the pulp with the
forcemeat already prepared, and after
parboiling the cucumbers for fifteen min
utes fill the centers with the forcemeat.
Arrange them in a row in the bottom of
a buttered pan, pour a little water and
melted butter around them to keep them
from turning, and cook, tightly covered,
in the oven until tender.
With the addition of eggs vegetables
become an even more nourishing food
than when eaten alone. Egg and vege
table cutlets are one of these satisfying
combination dishes. To make egg cut
lets simmer a cupful of milk for twenty
minutes with half a small onion, a little
parsley, salt, pepper, a dash of mace and
some lemon peel. At the end of twenty
minutes strain the milk. Heat two
ounces of flour. When they are smooth
add the mliK, slowly, and cook the sauce
slowly until It is smooth and thick. Then
add four hard boiled eggs, put through
a strainer and three tablespoonfuls of
the cooked vegetables?peas, string beans,
asparagus cut In pieces or mashed sweet
potato is a good choice and spread the
mixture on a platter to cool. When It is
coid form it into little outlet* each con
taining about a tablespoonful of the mix
ture. Brush them with beaten egg and
fine cracker crumbs, and fry golden
brown in deep fat. Serve with tomato
sauce.
Egg and vegetable aalads can be made
In endless variety. One calls for a bed
of crisp, cold lettuce leaves. Cut boiled
eggs lengthwise, and remove the yolks,
putting .-.em through a wire strainer.
Stand the halves of the eggs en the let
tuce, and fill each with a mixture of diced
beets, butter beans and mayonnaise.
Sprinkle the egg yolk over the dish. Mid

K r '
nencil or a pointed stick. These little
furrow's should be about four inches
apart, and the depth must depend upon
the size of the seed which Is to go into
them. The very finest seed is to be but
barely covered. It is a temptation to sow
the seeds too thickly, but there will be
enough thinning out to do in any case,
for which reason it is well to be^ little
parsimonious with the seed. A comfort^
able way to put in the seed is to use a
board the width of the bed, upon which
one may kneel while at work.
board is placed above each row a* soon
as the seed has been sown, it will^ help
firm the soil, something which should be
done in some manner, whatever plan ma>
be followed. . , , . ?
Next the bed must be watered, and ama
teurs often find it something of a prob
lem to apply the water without washing
out the fine seeds. Florists use a very
fine nozzle or rose, as It is called. Th
streams from the average watering pot
are too large and instead of using it In
the usual way the novice will do well t<?
lay a strip of burlap or old bafigmg over
the bed and to sprinkle the water on that
until It is thoroughly wet down and the
water trickling through. No harm Is done
If the burlap is left on the bed through the
day until the seedlings appear, but it
should be removed at night. There must
be no covering after the plants are up, or
they will grow spindling. It Is desirable,
though, that they have shade, especially
in the middle of the day.
Once the seedlings are well up, they
must be thinned in order that each plant
may have room to grow without being
crowded. When the plants are three
inches high they may be transferred to
the quarters which they are to occupy
permanently. The earth around them
should be wet several hours before this
work is to be done, so that plenty of soil
can be taken with the roots. Then the
roots will not dry out and the growth of
the little plants will not be grealy re
tarded. All this does not Involve as much
labor as one might imagine from reading
the directions, and a supply of plants will
be obtained which would cost several dol
lars if purchased in the spring.

AUGUST IS THE TIME
FOR PLANTING LILIES
Americans import thousands of lily
bulbs every fall and get them from wide
ly scattered sources?from Bermuda.
France and the orient. Perhaps in tirie
our enterprising Agricultural Department
will show us how to grow our own. Many
varieties are not received until late in the
season, but two kinds come In August,
which is the best month for starting
them. These lilies are candidum. the
old-fashioned madonna lily of our grand
mothers' gardens, and the Bermuda, or
Easter lily. The former is to be planted
in the open ground; the latter to be pot
ted and forced in the house.
Years ago the madonna lily was the
popular Easter flower, but gradually it
lias been supplanted by the Bermuda lily,
which is better for the purpose, at least
in tlie United States, for it is more easily
forced and on the whole is rather more
beautiful. In parts of Europe the ma
donna lily blooms naturally out of doors
at Easter time, and many different names
have been given it, so that in one place
we And it called the ascension lily, in
another St. .loseph's lily and in yet an
other the English Lent lily.
Probably the best bulbs of this lily
come from the north of France. They
should be planted as soon as received,
for lilies have loose scales and are not
to be kept around iike tulips and daf
fodils until one has a convenient season
to plant them. The madonna lily is best
when ?iven a background of green and
perhaps set among shrubbery or in the
hardy border, where it need not be dis
turbed for years. It does not care to be
fussed with, and if let alone will bloom
freely year after year. The bulbs will
put out some foliage the same season if
set out in August, and will be well es
tablished by spring. They should go into
the ground a depth equal to twice their
diameter, and they thrive in a deep, rich
loam, with which a little well rotted
manure has been incorporated. In this
respect they differ from many of the
other lilies, which like ligKt soil. Good
drainage is needed and a handful of sand
under each bulb is an advantage. Par
tial shade is not objected to, and when
they are found blooming In the midst of
shrubbery, half hidden there and with
their perfume filling the air, the effect is
delightful.
[By potting the Bermuda lily in August
it is an easy matter to have flowers for

sted as Japanese Easter lilies
and they are hardy enough to plant in the
open, but, of course, will not bloom at
Easter time unless forced.
The true Bermuda lily?the catalogue
makers call It Ellium Harrisii?is an ex
cellent plant for the window garden, is
sweet scented and will last a long time
when cut. Those bulbs which one may
desire to have flower early should be
started in a shaded greenhouse or in a
cold frame, or even in the open with a
little protection from the sun. The cold
frame is an excellent place, for shade
may be given easily and protection from
rain provided when heavy showers come.
Little water is needed at first, and forc
ing is not to be started until roots fill
the pot and the top is well developed.
When the bulbs are wanted for Easter
blooming the best plan is to pot them
as soon as they arrive and then bury the
pots in the garden until the first or mid
dle of November, depending upon whether
Easter comes early or late. When taken
indoors growth may be retarded or ad
vanced by the heat of the room. A good,
steady growth will be made with an aver
age night temperature of 55. When the
spikes are sixteen inches high it will help
to give weekly applications of manure
water about the color of weak tea.
It is always well to have some coarse
material in the bottom of the pots to pro
vide for drainage, although this is not so
necessary for the early as for the late
flowers. A good, rich loam to which
about a fifth of spent hotbed manure
has been added is excellent for Easter
lilies. Fresh manure is to be strictly
barred out.
" ? wiere "ot f?r Plant lice, growing
the Easter lily would be a very sim
ple matter. This pest Just dotes on lily
buds and the plants must be sprayed con
stantly with nicotine, getting it into the
crowns. And it may be added that a
stake will often save a plant being broken
off at the neck.
Serviceable Hat.
Aibove is pictured a hat seen recently
with gray serge street suit. A hat on
this style and developed in these colors
will prove of inestimable service for wear
with all morning frocks and simple tailor
ed suits. The small compact shape sat
well down over the hair, the brim rolling
quite closely to the crown. The latter
was low and square and encircled by a
flat feathered band, Its exact height
which, crossing on the left, terminated in
a wing effect. The upper edge of the
band, which was of white feathers, was
pined with dark blue satin, and the hat
being of dull gray straw, the color effect
was very pretty.
LISTEN, GIRLS!
A Hint on Your Housekeeping.
"Dear Miss Roberts: I though perhaps
some of your readers might like to know
how I and my girl friend have managed
our living expenses for the past year.
"She Is about my age, twenty-two, and
we started in to make our living together.
"We both left our homes to come to the
city. For the first two years we boarded,
but we never liked it, and last year we
decided to try setting up housekeeping
for ourselves.
"We had been paying |6 a week for a
hall bedroom apiece and meals that were
fair but not thrilling, as my friend put it.
Of course, we saved nothing from our
board bill on the occasions wh?n we were
asked out anywhere.
"We hunted around till we found two
communicating rooms of a good size on
the top floor of an old house. They were
unfurnished but there was a bath on
tiie floor below, which we were allowed
to use, and the rent was only fio a
month for the two.
