Echoes of Miss Regina Coancll's
debut dance are heard on every side
this morning. "Wasn't it a pretty
party?" they exclaim, and everyone
gladly assents. Only one person who
attended the . affair, however, knows
what commotion one of the gentle
men present caused on his way home.
The gentleman went to the party
alone. Madame, his wife, has recently
gone east for a short trip, and so he
left ' his car at home and used the
street car as his conveyance. Coming
home early in the evening, he was
accosted at a junction where he was
waiting for a car by a man who
wheedled a nickel from him. When
he boarded the street car for which
he had waited, the conductor was
quite overcome by the unusual sight
of a high silk hat.
He stole surreptitious glances at it.
he winked at a man riding on the
platform with him, and when the silk
hatted one got off, after a few blocks,
he giggled openly. Soon the car
reached a railroad crossing, and the
motorman 'opened his door with a
loud ha-ha. .''Didn't you know who
that was, you boob? quoth he. Well,
I'm not used to seeing silk hats," the
conductor said . in self-defense. .
Loud and long laughed the motor
man. They reached, another track and
he resumed the conversation. "Ha ha,
you were laughing at him, didn't you
have no better sense? Why he's one
of the directors of this company."

Curious hat shapes have appeared recently. The designer is
ever anxious to obtain something different and new. Apparently
in the case of the illustration, she lias succeeded and the result
is that one finds a hat of pressed beaver with one half of the brim
cut and bent up to meet the crown at a severe angle. A spray of
cogne feather is placed flat on the brim.

Choosing anil Cooking
Poultry.
By JEAN PRESCOTT ADAMS.
It was not so many years ago
that fowls were killed in the morn
ing, to be eaten for supper. House
wives in those days had to rely on
the poultry brought to their doors
in farmers' wagons and baskets for
their table supply. As distances be
tween the fowl-raising districts and
the consumer became greater, poul
try was packed in ice in such a
fashion that it would last for a week.
This method, which to a certain ex
tent exists today, is most unsatis
factory and fowls so packed are often
unfit for consumption. Do not con
fuse such methods of ice packing
with the . system of refrigeration
which carries the poultry in cars
cooled to the exact temperature re
quired and kept so during the long
trip by renewal of ice and salt. This,
of course, never touches the contents.
Feeding Fowl for Market
There is no better illustration of
the improvement in food standards
than the manner in which fowls are
raised, killed, transported, graded
and offered to the consumer, in com
parison with the hap-hazard system
in vogue not many years ago.- This

has become a highly specialized
business. Improperly handled poul
try is still on the market. The in
telligent housewife can, however,
guard herself against buying it and
putting it on her table by buying
fowl by brand or house name. The
best New York hotels demand Sill's
poultry. They know they will get
correct quality, weight and quick
service. The retail consumer may
have the same kind of protection
by patronizing a house of national
reputation.
The big concerns that handle first
grade poultry do so in large quanti
ties. Their buyers comb the corn
belt of the middle west; Oklahoma
is prolific in poultry and Texas has
quantities of turkeys. These fowls
are all scientifically fed and reared.
No barnyard fowls are accepted.
The barnyard fowl is a scavenger;
add to that the fact that there is
no flesh so quickly tainted with im
proper food as that of fowl and you
will demand properly fed fowl
for your consumption. First-class
fowls, bred for the market, are fed
on the best of corn flour, with the
judicious addition of butter and pure
meat juice. The result is not only
a triumph of delicate, clean flesh, but
a gastronomic delight.
Distribution of Poultry.
The manner by which poultry
raised in remote parts of the country
gets to the city markets in perfect
condition is very interesting. The
stock is bought from the farmers and
carried to various feeding stations,
where the fattening process is gener
ally continued from eight to fourteen
days under the most modern condi
tions with plenty of light and air, and
fed on scientifically balanced rations.
Some breeds will double in weight
during the period. Great care is
taken in transporting- stock to the
feeding stations. Turkeys, for in
stance, are harmed by tying and. put
ting in wagons. Prime turkeys now
are slowly driven along the road, per
haps a thousand at a time, fed and
rested at intervals, and this is one
of the sights of the turkey raising dis
tricts. Turkeys are not allowed to
roost, for the reason that this bends
the breast bone. The straight breast
bone and fat filet is one. of the stand
ard marks of first-class turkeys.
Modern Methods.
The modern method of fowl killing
is the one approved of the United
States government research stations,
and it is rather interesting to note
that it fulfills the Rabinical law as
well as that of modern hygiene, in re
spect to the fact that the bird is
instantaneously and completely bled.
This thorough bleeding renders the
meat more white and wholesome.
There is a special knife employed for
the killing. The birds are hung by
their feet, the knife inserted through
the mouth, both arteries and veins
pierced. Another deft twist reaches
the brain tissue controlling the mus
cles which hold the feathera in place,
so that feathers are easily removed
and the bird plucked as he hangs, a
much cleaner method than plucking
on the lap. All first-class poultry
is dry picked. . . .
A suspended cup catches the blood,
the mouth is examined for any pos
sible clot of blood, feet and head are
cleaned, and the clean, plucked fowl
goes into the cooling room. In some
of the establishments every process
has been so systematized that two
minutes covers the entire operation.
Mechanical refrigeration reduces
the temperature of the flesh to 32
degrees Fehrenheit, the proper tem
perature for transportation in refrig
erator cars; but this, of course, is
not frozen flesh; that is another sub
ject and another process. It takes
twenty-four hours to properly chill a
chicken for transportation, as it is
very important that the viscera as
well as the flesh should be reduced to
the right temperature.
For Transporting Chicken.
It is generally accepted by special
ists, including government experts,
that the chicken is best transeported
with the viscera intact and that the
chicken should be dressed only a short
time beaore it is cooked. For twenty
four hours before killing the bird is
deprived of food, but given plenty of
water, and this treatment emptiea the
intestinal tract. Careful observation
has shown that dressed fowls are
more susceptible to decomposition
than those marketed intact. This is
due to the fact that in removing the
viscera a certain membrane which
protects the flesh is removed also.
The fowls are graded at collecting
stations and packed in one row, a
dozen to a case; sometimes each is in
dividually wrapped in parchment
paper. Then big refrigerator cars
carry them to their destination, per
haps thousands of miles away. There
the housewife may purchase fowl
carefully raised in the part of the
country best adapted to that purpose,
scientifically killed and distributed so
as to reach her in perfect condition.
The quality of chicken is highest
from September to January; in the
case of broilers, before December.
The turkey season is a very short
one. The best turkeys are those fat
tened as frost begins, and Christmas
turkeys are graded slightly higher
than those sold around Thanksgiving.
It is estimated that 75 per cent of
all poultry sold in the United States
is cold storage, which means frozen
hard. There is no reason to suppose
that clean, wholesome Stock cannot
be preserved in this way for many
months, although microscopic exami
nation does show some slight changes
in the muscle fiber.
In buying poultry, bear in mind
that fresh fowl has pale, soft, yellow
skin, sufficiently transparent to re--.
veal the clear pink of the muscles.
There should be clear pink of (the
muscles and no hint of green. The
feather papilae are visible because of
their elevation and are the same in
color as the skin. The neck is smooth
and round, comb and gills red, eyes
full and the feet soft and pliable.
The fat is a light yellow.
A cold storage fowl that has been
kept in good condition for ten months
will show a whitish dry skin, less
translucent than that of the fresh
fowl.
