SEVERAL DAINTY DISHES PRE- | PARED FOR TWO PEOPLE. Braised Cutlets a la Creole That Will | Prove Appetizing—A Chafing Dish to Dispose of Left- Copyright, 1907, T tor. New York Braised Cutlets a la Crec!e—™M tablespoonful of r Chop them fry lard. Then lets, wit them top of the have simme turn them; 2 other two or t tablespoonfuls chopped pa a threaded clove of garlic, a and some thyme Turn the veal from time to time, until it has browned on both sides; then add a coffee-cupful of hot water, cover the pan, and let the water come to a boil quickly. At this point, remove it to the back of the stove, where it can do no more than simmer, and leave it for two hours. Remove the garlic and bay-leaf, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve. Perfection Stew—Mueh ds many people object to the stew, or to any dish that savors of it, the cook who is willing to take some pains in pre- paring the viands for her table can serve a veal stew in such a manner that the fact that it is a “stew” will never be suspected. To do this she must first make a rich white sauce ty using a heaping tablespoenful of flour and a goodly proportioned piece of butter to a cupful of good milk, or cream. When this sauce has com- menced to she must take sofhe thin slices of cold veal and lay them in it, adding half a dozen mushrooms chopped, and a little minced parsley Simmer until the meat has become heated through, when it is ready for the table. Veal in Chafing Dish—The appear- ance of a chafing dish at supper, or even at luncheon, often adds material ly to the delights of the repast, so if you have a chafing dtsh that can be called into service, try it some day when you want to dispose of some leftovers from the roast of veal. To do this, melt some butter in the pan and fry some chopped onions in it until they have browned nicely; then add a cupfu! of veal gravy, or white stock, and lay the slices of veal in it. Season with salt, pepper, and mush- room catsup, and, at the end of two or threes minutes, add a well-beaten egg, and serve immediately. English Veal Cake—When so much of the roast has been used that it is no longer possible to get slices, there are still several methods by whieh it can be prepared most appetizingly. Purchase a few slices of boiled ham and two eggs, and you can serve one of the famous English veal cakes. Here is the recipe Take about a pound of cold roast veal; remove all fat, ete., and chop it into small pieces. Grease a plain mold and put into it al- ternate layers of chopped veal, hard. boiled eggs nd boiled ham in slices, with chopped parsley and salt and pepper between each lay until the mold is nearly full. Next, take some good stock and flavor it with tarra- gon, mace and pepper to taste. Pour this over the other ingredients until the mold is filled almost to the brim Bake it for haif an hour, but do not serve it until it has become so cold that it can be sliced neatly. Served with a garnish of crisp watercress these slices of veal-cake make a mqst acceptable hot-weather luncheon dish Russian Croquettes—Another minc- ed-veal dish that will appeal attrac tively to lovers of nice eating is known as “Russian croquettes.” To make them, mince a pound of cold veal, and season it with pepper, salt lard fou on dredg with on minutes, ation of an tes, add two ar, a little bay-le; boil nutmeg and half a teaspoonful | and ade as follows cupful of milk to the then add a slice of stalk of celery, chopped, a bay-leaf half a dozen peppercorns, and pars- ley, thym and mace. Do not let the mixture actually boil, but keep it sim- mering s for fully 15 minute Then strain, season to taste with salt and pepper, and thicken with a blend of flour and butter. While this sauce is being prepared, roll some puff paste very thin, and, when the sauce and meat have been combined, shape a tablespoonful of the mixture into the shape of a croquette, and roll it up in ated lemon sauce © peel, moisten Heat a boiling point; onion, a adil rip of the puff paste, pressing the ends together Have some leep fat ready and fry the croquettes brown, Drain carefully, and serve with sorrel and bits of put on a standing, be delectable, cro hot closely mustard, lemon.

The committee on decorations may hang the walls of the parlors with crossed | swords, old muskets and flags, and por- | traits of Washington and other colo. nial heroes. the rooms may be tables and’chairs of old mahogany, spinning whee! dirons, and curious kettles. Ar around the wall may be long w tables draped with cheese cloth in blue and yellow, bearing old silver, brass candlesticks, | snuffers, dec pers, em- broidery, fans and jewelry, with sam- | plers, Warming pans, old mirrors and jfamily portraits above.

Or | there may be recitations of such things as “Paul Revere’s Ride” of “Doro- jthy Q.” or some description of life | in colonial days. Of course the whole | affairs is more delightful if the hoste: jat least can come in quaint old silk or cotton gowns, with tall combs and huge fans, and powdered hair. As to refreshments, there should certainly be poundcake and mulled cider, and perhaps doughnuts, or little spicy cookies A great deal of fun jcan be had if old recipe books are hunted up and some of the things tried which are suggested there. This sociable su sts one on much |the same lines, where a real New | England supper is served at six, all sitting down at long tables to eat the same dishes which were served long ago. Afterwards the same entertain- ment may be provided as at the colo- | nial sociable, with or without the pret- ty old dresses. DRINKING AT MEALS. Water Should Be Taken Only After Eating, Says an Authority. | | Mest physicians today will tell you never to take any liquid, and least ef all water, during meals. There are, however, two sides to the question. Those with a tendency to gout or other diseases arising from excess of uric acid should avoid liquids until two hours, at least after eating. For those without such a tendency there is no harm in drinking a moder- ate amount at the end of the meal. There is, therefore, sound reason back of the custom of keeping the cof- |fee for the last course. Even when this prandial drinking is permissible, one jshould avoid excess. A little cold | water in the mouth is often just as re. freshing as if gallons of the liquid had been consumed The great American fault—or one of them—is the consumption of enormous quantities of ice water, which is really }a deadly bevers and not fit for civil ized man to drink—I emphasize “civil zed,” for no savage would do anything so stupid as to chill and paralyze the muscles of his stomach in the belief 'that he is cool The rules, then if you are healthy {is normal, not too cold, and taken at the end of the And thus will you avoid the countless ills to which }most drinkers during meals are heir. s his skin are A little water and your stomach meal } Umbrella Cover as Hair Protector.

Different skins need different treat- ments, but one knows no end of women who gayly go to the nearest drug store and buy a cold cream, sim- ply because some of her friends have recommended it. Probably her friend has a dry skin, while she has an oily one, but that does not make any dif- fmrence; it’s a good cream, so she uses it. Eat Oil for Dry Skin—Women who suffer from a dry skin wil] be wonder- fully benefited if they will take a tablespoonful.of olive oil after each meal. Beazoin, which is far too as- tringent for many complexions, is ex- cellent for a dry skin. Bran bags will have a wonderful effect upon the too dry skin. To make some fine meal for bran bags at home, mix four pounds of fine oatmeal and two quarts of clean bran together and also one and a half pounds of powdered orris root, one and a half pounds of almond meal, and one-half pound of white soap ground: up. Three ounces of sachet powder of any kind to one’s taste may also be added These simple luxuries and they make the skin exquisitely soft and fresh. They are used exactly like soap and make a soft and fluffy lather The bags must be stuffed so lightly that they may be rubbed over the face just like a wash cloth. Each bag may three times. After each indolent her lot are be used using it should be thoroughly dried in | the sun. It is best to make a large quantity of the meal and put it away in closed jars, only filling five or six bags at a time. The bags should be made of soft cheese cloth The almond meal is lows Powdered ‘ root four ounces; wheat flour, four ounces; ¢ tile soap, fir powdered, one ounc pure borax, one ounce, monds, ten drops; oil Ywo drams; “tincture of musk, one dram. Put into a bottle jar having a perforated top and shake well so as to mix the ingredients. When ready wet the hands and then meal through the shaker top of the jar. Rub the hands together and also over the face. and a delicious lather will form. Don’t Have Rough Hands—Wash your hands in sugar water; dry them with corn meal, night and morning. J. B.
