The correct proportion of gelatine is a two- ounce package softened in a cup of cold water to each flve cups of broth, whether of chicken or veal, for the chaudfroid sauce, or consomme for aspic jelly. Solidity is not desirable in aspic, except where it is to be cut in fancy shapes, in which case the quantity of jelly must be increased. Mould Egg in Ramekin. After the poached egg has chilled and the white trimmed 1n regular outline, the manner of its serving must be decided upon before it can be masked with the stiffened white sauce in which the decorations are to be imbedded. One of the simplest methods, and one which ob- viates the trouble of unmoulding st serving time, is to mould the egg in a dainty china ramekin. A circle of cold boiled ham or tongue may be laid at the bottom of the ramekin, then the cold poached egg and then the thick coating of chaudfroid sauce. With the tip of a long pin or larding needle pick up the smalt decorations and lodge them care- fully in place on the surface of the smooth white sauce. May Be Prepared Day in Advance. A .favorite design at a popular ‘restaurant gives the effect of a pic- ture frame made of a ring stamped out from a slice of pimento. Within thig little round frame is a feathery bit of parsley, picked out with the point of the needle so that it shows to the best advantage. When cov- ered with the amber-colored, trans- parent aspic it looks like a spray of pressed seaweed. Another pattern, carried out within a frame made by the close settings of capers or green peas, consists of three slivers of 8reen pepper or string beans, the center one being longer than the two side strips, and all three converging 80 that they seem to sprout from one of the little green balls forming the frame. As the coating of aspic ex- cludes the air, bits of fresh vege- tables keep crisp and perfect, even though arranged in this way a day in advance, This method of mould- ing cold poached eggs leaves no un- certainty as to the appearance of the dish when served, as the decoration Nothing is prettier on the cold buf- fets of the hotels and restaurants at the luncheon hour than the elabor- ately garnished arrangements of eggs. Masked in chaudfroid sauce, decorat- ed with bright colored vegetables, coatd with transparent aspic and mounted on a slice of jelled meat or resting in a dainty ramekin, it is dif- ficult to believe that the nucleus for all this ornamentation is merely a cold egg—either poached or boiled. Broths Highly Favored. Hotel chefs ‘do so much juggling with seasonings that even in so sim- ple thing as a poached egg the pro- fessional touch is recognized.

Jellled Eggs With Cold Meat. In addition to poached eggs for cold service are those cooked suffi- clently to keep their shape when the shells are removed, but are far from being of the firmness of the ordinary hard-boiled egg. By placing the eggs in water which has reached the boil- ing point, discontinuing the heat and covering closely, a jelly-llke con- sistency should be obtained at the end of ten or twelve minutes, ac- cording to the size of the egg. Shen the eggs carefully while hot and im- merse in cold water with a little lemon juice or Tarragon vinegar. These are attractively served on a slice of jellied meat with overlapping slices of several vegetables as a bur- der. Cold boiled carrots and beets are suitable for such an arrangement. The egg only is covered with chaud- froid sauce, ornamented with two crossing strips of peppers or pi- mento, and placed within the border of cold vegetables. Aspic jelly in liquid form is then poured over the entire portion, the vegetables show- ing prettily through the transpar- ency. Served in Hollowed Slices of Tomato. A thick slice of tomato, slightly hollowed in the center to form a cra- dle for the curving surface of the cold egg, is a pretty holder, and a slice of cucumber may be used in similar fashton. By removing two or three of the inner rings from a thin slice of Bermuda onfon, placing the cold eggs on this and standing both on a bit of jellied meat or fowl, another delicious combination of fla- vors can be had, the whole to be decorated and then covered with aspic. PITROFF PLEASES KEENEY'S PATRONS Keeney patrons have witnessed a number of clever mystifying acts during the past two seasons, but they have yet to see anything more baffling than the feats performed this week by Pitroff, the famous Russian per- tformer, who is making a series of sensational escapes from trunks, boxes, handcuffs and other devices used to hold and torture prisoners. pitroff is this week's headliner and his act is attracting wide atten- tion. He is probably the most clever performer of the magical art ever seen in this city. At every (per- formance he gives a remarkable dem- onstration of his ability, introducing new feats every day. His tricks are of a startling nature and they com- pletely mystify the audience. Pit- roff makes no claims to having any mysterious gifts, but he declares him- self capable of geting out of any coa- trivance, used for prisoners, that any- one may submit. He challenges the police to handcuff him, guaranteeing tc release himself in a short time.

A letter friend who has been married about a quarter of a century makes the following valuable contribution on the eternal problem on how to be happy though married: “My husband and 1 have had a very happy married life due to several things beside our real congeniality. One is that we try to be as polite to each other as though we were not married. And that means & lot. We may lose our tempers but we try to remember that the spoken word is not easily forgotten.” The other factors in this successful marriage were also worth notice but I am not going to mention them today because 1 want to spend all my force in hammering that one in, “We try to be as polite to each other as though we were not married.” I wonder how many married people can say that of their dally ia- tercourse. . I wonder how many divorced cou ples would not be divorced if they had made that effort. The habit of politeness or courtesy—I like that word better—is al- most universally formed in courtship; the two parties put a guard on their tongues. Each tries to say nothing that will wound the other and every- thing that will please. Then comes marriage with its inevitable intimacies, frictions and disillusionments. Now is the time when we need that béauti- ful habit of courtesy the most. But, by the same token, this is the very time when it fails us. The guard slips, we say some sharp little thin which brings as sharp an answer; some little fault irritates us and characterize it with unflattering frankness; so it goes, bit by bit, ustil some day we find that we are no longer making any effort to be courteous to each other. 1 once knew a young married cou ple who made this painful discévery on the eve of their third anniversary. Being unusually analytical fm People they faced the situation bravely and as an anniversary gift to other, better than jewels or flowers, each pledged the other a renSwed effort to be just as courteous as in the days of courtship. To be sure, we do not half mean most of the sharp little things that we say, but the impulsive, thoughtless “word will often leave a wound that will fester and ache at intervals, perhaps for vears. As my letter friend says, the spoken word is not easily for gotten. You may think an unkind thing, cool down, be ashamed of your thought, and have done no har But once put that thought into words and vou cannot measure the hapm it may do. Give a lie an hour's headstart and it will take the truth & hun- dred years to catch up with it, is a familiar saying, and the same is often true of a sharp word and its retraction. “Of the unepoken word thou &t master, but the spoken word is master of thee.” ““The pain of an ungratified desire,’ says Schopenhasur, “is small ¢om- pared with that of repentance—for the former has to face the imméfetr.) able open future; the latter the past, which is closed irrevocably.” Suppose we try to remember this when we struggle with the d¢ to say some sharp and unkind word.

The story opens in a railway station in France. The stationmaster, his wife and little daughter are living happily. War is declared with Prussia and Mar- teau one of the conscripts is called cut. Marteau's wife assumes charge of the station in the absence of her husband. On leaving to go to the front the station-mistress gave her husband a small photo of herself and little daughter. In a flerce battle Marteau is mortally wounded, when dying he gives the photos to a Prus- slan officer who inflicted the wound with the request that he forward them to his wife with the news of his death, but before he has time to give the afficer the address he dies. Later the station house is attacked, and the officer in charge of the attacking force is wounded and left in charge of Marie.
