Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Eggs and Rice Cakes Make Good Lunch A tomato treat tbat's hard to beat h this one in which cottage cheese is used for stuffing. Frilly sand wiches can be made by spreading thinly sliced bread with mayon naise, seasoning the lettuce and roll ing up the bread. Lunch is often one of the most neglected meals of the day because the whole family is not at home to eat it. Then, too, many homemak ers feel they just don't want to both er fixing something palatable and attractive. But, let's look at it this way. Lunch, according to nutritionists, -i u ?a 3UUU1U CUIlldUl O I least one-third to one-half the day's calories, and the proper balance of proteins, carbo hydrates, vita mins and miner ais. mis aoesn t mean mat you have to spend a lot of time prepar ing this noon-day snack, because, chances are, there are plenty of things in the refrigerator, ready to be made into satisfying, nourishing lunches. Now that food rationing has eased, it might be a good idea to invite friends in for a quick lunch; or, bet ter still, have a plan whereby you invite four to six people over for noon-time, and then have everyone take turns having each other to luncheon. It's a neighborly way, and you will be sure to get into bet ter luncheon habits this way. Here is a colorful salad plate that makes a quick and easy lunch. It looks pretty, too, on gay, informal plates. Stuffed Tomato Salad Plate. (Serves <) ?

A dishwashing apron is easy to make out of oil cloth. Cut to pat tern, bind the edges and you will have a water-resistant apron. Old pillow cases are excellent for protecting the tops of clothes while they hang in the closet. Use this tip for putting away out-of season clothes. Odd bits of linoleum make nice covers for kitchen or laundry ta ble and may even be used as shelf covering. Old socks are excellent for ap plying wax to furniture; they may be used tor cleaning silver ware, too. If you are crowded for space, build a blanket bin across the narrow end of a hall, underneath the windows. This is good to use In storing clothes, too.

"Certainly there are baby toys about, but the place is neat and clean, and I myself m always dfessed in a clean, cheerful costume By KATHLEEN NUKKIS ^ OME months ago I wrote an 7) article filled with sympathy for today's young mothers, dwelt upon the difficulties they :ncounter in marketing, wash ng, cleaning, cooking, baby ending, with so little help. Ire balled the fact that we, who are mothers, in our young days :ould always secure the assist ince of some competent woman, who managed kitchen and nurs Jry, stood by us in all domestic :nses, and left us plenty of time or occasional evening amuse ments, for theater, dancing, din ner parties.

They must have some se cret that many other women have not yet mastered. Preserves. Dancing, long walks and the making of pillows take time, and eight chil "W* imc u&a mmr.m ' \ I 1 dren mean 30 means a day, and 30 meals mean at least 60 cups, 180 plates, 00 spoons to wash every day, SO little garments to wash and iron every week ? to say nothing of the babies' pin-ups and the bath towels, the boys' jeans and some 70 pairs of socks. No, the imagination staggers at it, and one can only bow respectfully to such efficiency. Modern Devices Help. Our own nursery was well Blled, half a century ago, add the older members did help, and were ex pected to help. We peeled potatoes, set tables, tended the younger chil dren, ran errands, made our selves useful in dozens of ways. But the woman who wrote this let ter has no such help. Her children are babies; her daily baby wash runs to SO articles. Her children spatter mush on their high chairs, demand daily baths, wake her at unearthly hours, need complete changes of crib bedding and their play aprons every day or twice a day, and still she has "plenty of time left over." Certainly she has a thousand helps earlier generations of women didn't have. She can get codfish cakes and biscuits all ready to cook, ready made bread and cakes; she doesn't have to fill lamps or stoke coal stoves; hot water runs in her bathroom; vacuum cleaner works miracles; she doesn't have to walk that five miles to the store as her grandmother would have done. But just the same ? those must be wonder-women down in that lit tle Long Island town. Beady-Made Dresses Shop with an eye on possible alterations when buying ready-made garments. Some ready-made dress es are difficult to alter, and clothing is still too scarce to warrant gambling on a misfit. Whether a garment is to be al tered at the store or at home, you are advised against buying one that requires complicated changes. If a dress that fits throughout cannot be found, buy one that fits the upper part of the body, as the skirt is 1 less difficult to alter. IDEAL HOME-MAKERS Many young mothers have been complaining bitterly about the difficulties of caring for one or two children during the last four years. Scarcities of almost every necessity, slow laundry service, and a hundred other vexations made the always trying tasks doubly hard. Besides that, it has been almost impossible to hire any household help. To add to all this, many servicemen's wives have had to work when they could, to add to their small in come from the government. Even with peace again over the land, these war-born prob lems are still here for the most part, and will be for many months. Some women, however, have such courage, energy and pride that they refuse to be down cast by hardships. Today's article contains a letter from a group of New York mothers who take everything in stride, and seem to have a good time doing it. These young women have from two to eight children. They do practically all their own work, including a lot of sewing and gardening. Yet they somehow have time for dances and parties occasionally. Except for such mechanical helps as vacuum cleaners and washing machines they have no assistance in their daily chores. Miss Norris calls them "wonder-women."
