ALLOWANCES FOR MARRIED TEACHERS. A request for allowances at the rate of £15 for each child for married teachers was put before the Minister of Education by the Women '.Teachers' Association on Friday. Miss Myers said that this was wanted as an allowance, not as salary. The Government had admitted the principle in various ways, and had recently made the admission that the matter was of economic value by. agreeing to pay up to 25s a week to a widower who had children whose mother had died in the epidemic. The Minister (Hon. J. A. Hanan) asked: Do you know what the cffect of this would be? Miss Coad said she realised that this would have a very wide application outside the teaching: profession. The Minister: It is a big policy question that would have to bo considered in relation to the whole Public Sen-ice. The women teachers made it plain that they favoured equal pay for equal work. This was really to be an endowment of marriage—not an increase of salary. summerTsalads. j Although lettuce is generally supposed to form the foundation of a salad, there are but few fresh vegetables that may not be used in the preparation of this refreshing dish. Asparagus, artichokes, beetroot, celery, chives, cucumber, endive, cauliflower, lettuces of all kinds, mustard and cress, onions, potatoes, radishes, sorrel, EVench beans, spinach (previously cooked), tomatoes, and watercress are but some of the vegetables be served in the guise of a salad.

Then drain them well, tie up lightly in a clean napkin and hang up until required. All vegetables must be absolutely dry and perfectly clean. Skin the tomatoes by dropping them for a minute in boiling water and then in cold water. Slice the cucumber a& finely as possible; choose small radishes, "head and tail" them, making a triangular cut at the top of each. Never cut lettuce, cauliflower, or cress; pull them apart, with your fingers. Do not mix your salad unty the very last moment. Mixed Vegetable Salad.'—A good mixed salad is obtained by taking a young tender lettuce, a small tomato, a slice or so of beetroot, and cucumber, a few radishes, water cress, and, if liked, three or four spring onions. Boil an egg until it is very hard. Crush the yolk up, add a teaspoonful of made mustard, some olive oil, and salt and pepper. When enough oil has been added to make a sufficiency of dressing for the amount of the table add a few drops of vinegar.
