TOOTHSOME VIANDS AT MRS. LANSING'S DRIED FOOD LUNCHEON, 

 When Mrs. Robert Lansing, wife of the Secretary of State, entertained prominent Washington matrons at luncheon the entire bill of fare was made 

 up of Dried Foods. This picture gives an idea of the appetizing spread. The six course meal included dried vegetable bouillon, dried chicken, dried 

 vegetables of many kinds, dried fruit and dried mint. The Neapolitan salad was typical of the luncheon. It was made of dried peas, dried lima 

 beans and dried tomatoes, with cream cheese filling. All the vegetables were "brought back" before using, by steaming and soaking. The roast 

 chicken, shown in the center of the picture, had been first cooked, the dried in the oven and then steamed and soaked, to restore its original volume. 

 With the chicken were served caramel sweet potatoes, corn balls and creamed dried cucumbers on toast.
