Overworked.
Miss Geraldlne Farrar honored
with her presence a Lenten luncheon
of debutantes in New York.
Miss Farrar told the debutantes that
there was happiness in work. She
urged work upon all of them. Work,
she said, would preserve them from
degeneration into such a type as Mrs.
Rose of Melrose.
"Mrs. Rose's type is too familiar,"
she said. "To show you the sort
she is:
"Mr. Rose came home from busi
ness. Mrs. Rose lay on a couch. He
sat down by her side and said:
" 'What did the doctor say. dear?'
T-Fa oolrcuf ma frs r.t.4-
lie aaacu uiw is iui uui IUJ
tongue,' murmured Mrs. Rose.
" 'Yes?
'"And he looked at It and said:
"Overworked!"
"Mr. Rose heaved a long sigh of re
lief. "Then, my dear,' he said, firmly,
'you'll have to give it a rest. I have
perfect confidence in that doctor.' "
Chicken Roll.
Clean and simmer in hot water
enough to cover a four-pound fowl, the
cooking process to continue until the
meat is ready to fall from the bones.
While cooking add one small onion,
six sprigs of parsley and four outside
stalks of celery. When the meat Is
done, remove from the liquor and
separate from the bones and skin;
then chop finely, seasoning with pep
per, salt and butter; strain the liquor
which should be simmered to one
pint; add to the liquor a tablespoonful
of granulated gelatine that has been
soaked in a tablespoonful of cold wa
ter until soft; stir the hot liquor until
the gelatine is dissolved, then add to
the chopped chicken and pour into a
two-pound baking-powder box, setting
it where it 'will become firm. When
ready to serve dip the can Into ho
water for a moment, then slip the roll
onto the dish and garnish with pars
ley, lettuce or watercress. It can be
cut into thin slices before being
brought to the table.
Oatmeal Frappe.
This is an excellent drink for chrl
dren. Over two tablespoonfuls of oat
meal pour one quart of boiling water.
Let stand for 20 minutes; when cool
strain and sweeten to taste. Crush
half a pint of fresh strawberries, add
juice of two lemons and a few slices
of pineapple; pour all together, and
with generous quantity of shaved ice
shake in shaker until cold, but not ice
cold.
Keep Vegetables Green.
Not every one knows that all veg
etables grown under the ground po
tatoes, turnips, carrots and onions
should be put to cook in cold water,
while those grown on top of the
ground should have boiling water
poured over them, especially green
things such as peas, beans, spinach
and corn. If left uncovered they re
tain their fresh, green look.
Ragout of the Breast of Veal.
Separate the joints of the brisket
and trim the meat, put it to bake with
a little water,- baste it with butter
and water.
Make a gravy by boiling the trim
mings of the meat in a little water;
thicken with flour and butter, and
serve with the meat when done. Sea
son with pepper, salt and n little
onion.

CONSIDER CHEESE AS FOOD.
Bated
on Money Value It Is
Far More Than Betf.
Worth
In buying cheese it is necessary to
consider It not so much as a relish
as a food, according to What to Eat.
A relish it is, but the cheese eater
should recollect that some varieties
play havoc with the digestion and
health, and these are the harder,
tougher, and blue-mold varieties,
especially those that are badly made.
If grated, it becomes more digestible.
Solid cheese Is a sustaining food, and
so nutritive that a single pound con
tains sufficient digestible matter to
sustain a man for a day. In a word,
as a food, good, Inexpensive cheese,
based on money value, goes as far as
three times its weight of lean beef, j
As a nutrient a good American Ched
dar, an Edam, or a Gouda (Dutch) is
one of the cheapest known foods
adaptable to the requirements of the
hard-working classes. American
cheese should be mild, nutty and
salvy, never dry, hot, strong, moldy, or
with a cracked rind. Very little
of the best is made, although its
price Is high. Cheese should be
kept moist, but never in a moist at
mosphere.

er and clearer. A certain French cook !
adds half a tablespoonful of vinegar
to every two quarts of water when
Iioaching eggs.
That pulled bread is delicious with
soup. To make it, cut crusts from a
loaf of bread just from the oven. With
a fork pull the bread apart into strips
five inches long and quite thin. Dry
them in a slow oven until crisp and a
delicate brown. They are often used
at formal dinners.
That ordinary fried eggs are deli
cious with browned butter. Put three
tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying
pan. Set the pan over a brisk fire.
Let the butter turn m light brown col
or, then add two tablespoonfuls of
good vinegar. Shake the pan slightly
to mix the butter and vinegar welL
Then pour it around and over the
eggs. Serve immediately.

IN CREOLE STYLE
EPICURE'S WORDS OF PRAISE OF
"CAFE BRULO."
Description of Delicious Brew That
Fittingly Ends the Dinner Method
of Service That Must Be
Adhered To.
Dining at a transplanted Creole
home a few days ago. I was delighted
to witness a revival of the old New
Orleans custom of concluding the
dinner with the service of the 'cafe
brulo.' " It was the epicure who spoke,
and when the epicure asserts himself
sopositlvely it is the duty of all who
love good things to eat and drink to
bend a willing ear in listening, says
a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger.
"In one sense of the word," the epi
cure continued, "the term 'coffee bru
lo' denotes a manner of service fully
as much as it Indicates a method of
preparation. So far as the coffee itself
is concerned, any culinary process that
is productive of a potful of good,
strong, black coffee will answer the
purpose. A fine grade of Mocha is
the best, but the use of other kinds
of coffee does not make the service
of the 'cafe brulo' impossible. This,
however, is the manner in which it
must be served, and. upon this point
at least, individual invention must pro
vide no modifications:
"Make the coffee in. a percolator
In a French coffee urn, if you are so
fortunate as to possess one but have
the utensil brought to the table on a
silver tray that is large enough to con
tain a wide-mouthed bowl of goodly
proportions; a flask of brandy, three
dishes, one containing loaf sugar, the
second filled with the spices, and the
third with some tangerine orange peel
that has been cut into tiny pleTes.

cream ladle also reposes upon the
tray. If possible, the bowl, as well as
the small dishes and the ladle should
be of silver.
"When this tray of materials has
been placed before the hostess she
first puts as many lumps of sugar as
may be necessary into the bowl. It Is
customary to use one lump of sugar
to each person at the board, although
more may be added if a greater degree
of sweetness is desired. The sugar
Is followed into the bowl by a heap
ing teaspoonful of whole cloves, four
sticks of cinnamon that have been
broken Into somewhat smaller pieces,
and about two teaspoonfuls of orange
peel. Brandy is poured over these in
gredients enough brandy to burn
freely and, after being lighted. It is
permitted to burn itself out, occasion
al stirrings being the only interrup
tion. "It is not until the flames have died
away that the coffee is added, but then
it is poured directly Into the bowl un
til all the coffee has been utilized or
the bowl is full to within a safe dis
tance from the brim. The mixture is

stirred, of course, to complete the
blend, after which the brow, bow
ready for drinking, is transferred to
the regulation after-dinner coffee cups
by means of the ladle.
"And it is good coffee," the epicure
added, as he moistened his lips rem
iniscently. "It is difficult to make you
realise Just how good, ao well, the
best way is to try it."

Blessed is the strip of sattsMn on
the end of a stick to use la greasing

Blessed is the wing of a fowl, for K
cleans the stove without Injury to the
hands.
Blessed is the rice left over from
dinner. It will make good pudding

Blessed are the odds sad ends sf

A "Two-Story."
Slice thin, potatoes and onions (five
potatoes to one onion). Cut up oao-
half pound salt pork or bacon and doe
pound or beef, mutton or veal. Lino
a baking dish with the slices of pork,
then a layer of meat and potatoes and
onions, well seasoned. On this put a
layer of good bread dough. Agaia at
layer of meat and vegetables, adding
another layer of the crust. Put in
enough water to cover, and let simmer
two hours.
Adenoids.
The newest slogan of the educators
is: "Look out for the adenoids!"
Some of the more radical of our peda
gogues claim that these growths are
accountable for three-fourths of the
so-called backwardness in school chil
dren, and the first thing that a physi-
J c,an s whenf a ?tute,i ?
veloped youngster is brought to aim
for treatment is: "Has the child ever
been examined for adenoids?" These
growth affect primarily the cavity
lying at the back of the nasal pas
sages, directly above the soft palate,
and may make their appearance in
early infancy. The region affected is
the seat of one of the three tonsils, of
which the other two are visible in the
lower throat. These organs, together
with the appendix, are physiological
puzzles, as they are physical super
fluities. The result is that the air passages
through the nose are shut off, the
child resorts to mouth breathing, goes
about all the time with mouth half
open, which imparts a look of general
stupidity, and very frequently really
becomes stupid for the reason that
nature, in an effort to preserve an air
passage through the nose, raises the
hard palate higher and higher, thus
encroaching upon the brain space sad
impairing the mentality of the suf
ferer. Semi-idiocy is often the conse
quence of neglected treatment, and
the general health always suffers.
