Said the judge to the plaintiff in
a compensation case: “Now show
the court the effects of the accident
upon you.”
The plaintiff got up and, with in-
finite pain, hobbled across the floor.
“And now,” continued the judge,
“show us how you used to move be-
fore the accident.”
Plaintiff cook a hop, skip and
jump across the court.MISS ECCLES TO WED

“take a look at the ends of this

The waiter did so. “1 don’t see

English Dining Room
Slate gray, lime green and yellow
form the color scheme of a sophisti-
cated and striking Eighteenth cen-
tury English dining room. The walls
are painted slate gray with the ceil-
ing in off-white. Lime green js used
on the woodwork—the rug is the
same color. Draperies are in yel-
low and the room is furnished with

Decorative Screens.
If your idea of a screen is some-
thing to knock over, it’s time we
took you in hand and introduced you,
not only to some of the very clever
and decorative screens available
but to the screen as an asset in
smooth living.
Spring refurnishings usually leave
a residue of things that can’t be
cured so must be endured—corners
that are necessary to the function-
ing of the house, but not to its
decoration. A screen solves all such
problems with a single gesture—
quite a swish gesture at that. Kitch-
en, nursery, powder>■ room, study,
sewing room or even clothes closet
can lurk behind a screen in a room
that looks as if it hadn’t a care in
the world.
Another reason for considering
yourself as a potential screen user,
whether or not you had thought of
it before, is the fact that a screen
will balance most any decorative
difficulty you may be facing. If one

We always stop for a bunch of vio-
lets or a gardenia when we want to
make an "appearance” in Iasi
year’s suit.
It’s the same way with a room
this year; the smartest decorators
are botany-minded. We enjoyed so
much seeing a dining room recently
exhibited by a young man who sets
styles in interiors.
White walls to begin with, three
of which are completely covered in
panels of flower and fruit prints
framed in green and hung close to-
gether from dado to ceiling. The
fourth wall with a bay window has
a green trellis criss-crossed over
the -entire wall space ground
window, then a big white wire bird
cage stands in the curve of the
bay window.
The chairs have upholstered seats
and backs covered in floral needle-
point with an off-white ground.
They’d be a lot of work, to be sure,
but you’d have heirlooms when you
finished with them.

side of the wall needs more height,
more color, more pattern, more con-
trast, a screen will be a simple,
successful answer. Even more
space, or the effect of it, can be
achieved with a mirror screen. Or
an extra "wall” can be made with
a screen set but in the floor with a
little settee, a dressing table or a
table before' it.
Mirror screens are much more in-
teresting than they used to be Mir-
ror panels are now often likely to
be set in wide decorative frames.
A perfectly lovely example of these
seen recently shows the frames for
the mirrored panels decoratively
outlined with a classic key in gold
on a light off-white ground. And
fantastic motifs painted in tropical
colors on mirrors give verve to
many screens.

white ground floral linen seats and

For the floor this room had a
hand-knotted embossed rug in nat-
ural color, but for a more practical
room we’d suggest a plain green
rug of distinctive weave.
Georgian -furniture was used to
advantage in this floral setting and
gave a feeling of dignity to what
might otherwise have seemed a
frivolous scene. Conversely this bot-
any background lightened and re-
freshed the effect of the fine Shera»

pronounced one of the admirers of
the great chef. Ordinary mortals,
however, may need a few direc-
tions for its plumping, as no vege-
table is more sensitive. The deli-
cate flavor is ruined by over-cook-
ing. As the heads are so much
more tender than are the stalks, a
special method should be used.
I have put a large double boiler
to work for this purpose. After the
stalks have been thoroughly washed
and the tough ends removed, I retie
the stalks into a bunch, place it in
the-lower part of-the double boiler
with water enough to cover the bot-
tom of the pan to the depth of one
inch. To the water I add a dash-of
salt and a dash of sugar. I then
use the upper part of the double
boiler as a cover. The steam will
cook the heads just quickly enough
so that the whole stalks will be ten-
der. By this method color will be
I preserved quite well.
Those of us who are fond of this
vegetable, which for centuries has
been considered by epicures as the
king, will use it often during its
comparatively short season. It is
almost a meal in itself and will
make a satisfactory main dish for
the'quick meal whether it is served
with Hollandaise, with a sour cream
sauce, with a cheese sauce, with a
cream sauce on toast, with browned
crumbs or with brown butter and
grated cheese. Parmesan cheese
is particularly delicious with aspar-
agus. You may also like to serve
it occasionally cut in small pieces
before cooking and dressed
cream.
Asparagus in Cream.
1 bunch asparagus ;
Mi cup cream
Salt, pepper, nutmeg
Wash and clean asparagus
cut into one-inch pieces. Reserve
tips, cook remainder in water, to
which a dash of salt, and a dash of
sugar have been added, for five min-

matoes. On the top of each tomato

“Your lordship, I’d like to get out

“For what reason?” asked the
judge.
“I can only hear with one ear,”
was the excuse offered.
The judge smiled.
“It’s all right,” he said. "We only
hear one side at a time.”-
